Chapter 306: Test
“What should I use as an important clue to the past and present life?” Xie Luan wrote a lot of words on the paper. Her handwriting looked delicate and sophisticated.
Gu Yan looked down and suddenly saw the words ‘jade pendant’.
She opened her mouth and clenched her hands behind her back.
Xie Luan stopped writing and bit the end of the pen. “How should I design the whole thing? Sigh... the inspiration is gone.”
“Godmother, I’m going back first. There will be a Math test in the evening.”
“Mhm.” Xie Luan looked carefully at Gu Yan and then at the red string around her neck. Although she didn’t personally see the jade pendant, a strange feeling rose up in Xie Luan’s heart.
‘If it was that jade pendant... why was it with Gu Yan?’
Xie Luan wasn’t certain of anything yet. She just really wanted to see the jade pendant again.
She suddenly said, “Xiao Yan, wait a minute before you go. I have a pearl necklace. Would you like to see if you will like it?”
“No, no need, Godmother.” Gu Yan felt Xie Luan had been acting a bit strange today. She usually talked like this, but right now, her eyes contained some gleam on them. It appeared as though she was hiding something.
Moreover, did she want to give her something?
Just as Gu Yan was about to reject it, Xie Luan had already taken out a pearl necklace from a red box. The pearls weren’t sizable, and their luster was ordinary. It was probably not something too expensive.
Gu Yan felt relieved.
Seeing how Gu Yan reacted, Xie Luan thought to herself how it was a good thing she took out an ordinary accessory. If it was something too precious, the girl would reject it.
She said, “It’s something small that a friend gave me before. I think these pearls are suitable for young girls. Here, will you let me put it on for you?”
Gu Yan hesitated for a moment. The jade pendant was still on her neck.
But then again, it was just an ordinary jade pendant to other people, even though the item had magical properties. Guo Rou and Shen Jiayi couldn’t see anything before either.
Gu Yan didn’t think too much and nodded in the end.
Xie Luan stood behind Gu Yan and put the pearl necklace on for her. When she brushed up Gu Yan’s hair, Xie Luan unexpectedly had some kind of strange feeling that she was putting on makeup for a daughter who was getting married.
This was... too bizarre.
However, when her gaze fell on the red string on Gu Yan’s neck, that strange feeling was dispelled. She tried to make her tone not sound shaky.
“Xiao Yan, what are you wearing on your neck?”
“Oh, it’s a jade pendant.”
“Oh, what’s it like? I quite like this thing. When I was healthy, I often went to the antique shops.”
Gu Yan took out the jade pendant so that Xie Luan could get a glimpse of it.
Xie Luan then took a deep breath and subconsciously held her heart while her eyes stared intently at the jade pendant.
This jade pendant was in the shape of a water drop. It was sharp at the top and round at the bottom. It was twice the size of a nail. However, it wasn’t gray in color like before. Rather, it was milky white. It looked warm.
There was a dab of green in the center, making it look crisper.
Xie Luan felt dazed.
It was eerily similar to the one she had, but it was a bit different too.
Gu Yan noticed that Xie Luan didn’t speak for a long time, so she asked, “Godmother what’s wrong?”
