Chapter 1963: Was I Overthinking It?

Sun Qing received the hint and immediately beamed with joy.

Xin Ziran reminded her again, "Don't forget what you promised me back then."

"Don't worry, I keep my word!"

Don't worry?

Xin Ziran could not set his mind at ease.

He knew Sun Qing's character all too well; even if she didn't keep her promise, Xin Ziran wouldn't be the least bit surprised.

However...

He would not give her that chance!

Regarding the bracelet, Wei Yangyang had originally planned to wait until Li Xingyan was discharged from the Hospital to make it slowly.

But Li Xingyan seemed unable to wait.

After he specifically brought it up twice, Wei Yangyang knew she couldn't drag it out any longer.

She had no choice but to take the time to make the bracelet at home before going to the Hospital.

Making a bracelet was much simpler than making a chain.

Besides, there weren't that many formalities; just pick out the beads and string them together directly.

Wei Yangyang even sometimes made the bracelet while binge-watching shows.

The main theme was being casual.

But today, Wei Yangyang was very solemn.

She first placed the necessary items on a tray.

Then she took the tray to the stone table in the garden, conceived the design in her mind, and only then began to work.

And the reason she was so solemn...

Was perhaps because she was afraid that if any detail wasn't done well, the fastidious Li Xingyan would discover it.

Wei Yangyang worked very earnestly.

But Jin Dou didn't know what was wrong; it seemed very excited, not only running back and forth but also barking every now and then.

Every time it barked, it would startle Wei Yangyang, making her fingers tremble.

However, Wei Yangyang was in a good mood at the moment, so she didn't pay any mind to Jin Dou.

Instead, her movements in stringing the beads became increasingly proficient.

Her entire mood also became more and more calm...

About half an hour later, the bracelet was finished.

This was a Heiyao stone bracelet.

Picking it up and holding it against the sunlight, shaking it slightly, one could see the golden sand forming a "cat's eye," which was very beautiful.

Wei Yangyang was holding the bracelet up to admire it at that moment.

As a result...

The bracelet actually flew away!

To be precise, it was taken by someone.

Yi Xiang held the bracelet in his hand, weighed it, and then praised, "This bracelet is really nice, Yangyang, you are truly amazing!"

Wei Yangyang was startled by Yi Xiang's sudden appearance.

She blinked her eyes, looking surprised: "When did you arrive?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Xiang looked helpless and said, "Do you have to be so focused? I've already been playing with Jin Dou for a while."

Ah, so that was the reason Jin Dou was going crazy today.

Wei Yangyang revealed an expression of sudden realization.

Yi Xiang leaned closer to Wei Yangyang and asked a question: "Who were you thinking of when you were making the bracelet?"

"Thinking of who? I wasn't thinking of anyone."

"But you were smiling at the time."

Had she... smiled?

Wei Yangyang raised her hand to touch her cheek and began to recall.

Yet she discovered that she seemed to have thought of Li Xingyan.

She had even imagined what Li Xingyan's reaction would be when he saw the bracelet.

But even if she thought of him, it was only for a fleeting moment.

It was even less likely that she would have smiled.

So Wei Yangyang said categorically, "You saw wrong."

After speaking, Wei Yangyang reached out to Yi Xiang: "You've seen it, right? Give it back to me now that you're done."

Who knew that not only did Yi Xiang not give it back, but he asked with a smile: "Can you give it to me?"

Give it to him?

Wei Yangyang felt a headache coming on and quickly explained: "No, it's already promised to Li Xingyan!"

Her explanation caused the smile on Yi Xiang's face to vanish instantly.

But the next second, Yi Xiang returned to normal.

Only the tone of his voice carried a sense of melancholy: "I really wish that the person who played the hero to save the beauty that day had been me."

Yi Xiang had already heard about the experience Wei Yangyang and Li Xingyan had that day.

He truly wished that the one who had shared those hardships with Wei Yangyang was himself.

As a result, Wei Yangyang poured cold water on him directly: "Don't get your hopes up, this isn't anything good!"

"But you made a bracelet for Li Xingyan just because he saved you!"

"So, just for a mere bracelet?"

"Right, and you made this with your own hands! You carefully touched every single bead! You even smiled gently at these beads!"

As Yi Xiang was describing it, a sense of crisis suddenly welled up in his heart.

He was still looking closely at Wei Yangyang.

It seemed he wanted to read her heart through those beautiful eyes.

Who would have thought Wei Yangyang would say: "I wasn't smiling."

Yi Xiang could not have seen wrong.

He opened his mouth, wanting to refute Wei Yangyang.

But...

Yi Xiang suddenly changed his mind.

He even changed his approach: "Even if you weren't smiling, you were in a good mood, which shows you are very willing to make a bracelet for Li Xingyan."

"Can't my good mood be because the sun is nice today and the breeze is gentle? Can't it be because the flowers in this garden are blooming quietly?"

Wei Yangyang felt that Yi Xiang was a bit strange today.

It seemed like he was being unreasonable.

Fortunately, Wei Yangyang was a reasonable person, and she easily threw the problem back to Yi Xiang.

This time, it was Yi Xiang's turn to be stunned.

He was also asking himself, was he really making a mountain out of a molehill?

With his fingers gently curled, Yi Xiang felt the beads in the palm of his hand.

A moment later, he asked Wei Yangyang: "Do you like making these things?"

"Yeah, whenever I'm happy, I can make a whole bunch of them."

"Since that's the case, then give this one to me."

No matter who Wei Yangyang was thinking of at the time, anyway... he wanted this bracelet!

Yi Xiang's fingers moved nimbly, and a string of black beads was slipped onto Yi Xiang's wrist.

Those black beads, wrapped around his fair, firm skin, actually looked quite good.

The size was also suitable.

It was estimated that if Li Xingyan wore it, the effect would be about the same.

Wei Yangyang pursed her lips and thought.

But the next second, she was flicked on the forehead.

The culprit even asked: "What are you smiling about again!"

What was she smiling about!

Wei Yangyang felt that Yi Xiang was playing with her!

Since he was playing with her, Wei Yangyang also began to say half-truthfully: "I think it suits you very well."

"Hmm, I think so too."

As Yi Xiang said this, he raised his wrist and shook it.

He was very happy, and the corners of his mouth were turned up.

Wei Yangyang could feel his happiness.

But Wei Yangyang herself was not very happy.

Because... she still had to make another one.

Sigh!

Fortunately, the materials were all there.

Wei Yangyang sat down and continued to string beads.

But unlike just before, this time Wei Yangyang had company by her side.

Yi Xiang leaned over with a grin and said: "Courtesy demands reciprocity, I will give you a gift too!"

"Don't, I don't need a gift."

"Denial is invalid, I will still give it."

Wei Yangyang felt that Yi Xiang was so childish.

She glanced at him sideways and gave a light huff.

And this little look was especially like an orange cat in a bad mood.

Yi Xiang really wanted to pet her round little head...

He didn't just think about it; before his consciousness returned, he raised his hand and gave it a rub!

Wei Yangyang's fur stood on end immediately, and she said discontentedly: "If you mess around again, give the bracelet back to me!"

Oh my, this bristling up made her look even more like an orange cat!

However, this time, Yi Xiang didn't dare to touch her again.

He just sat on the side with a grin and asked: "Do you want to hear some interesting stories? True stories, oh."

Wei Yangyang did not object.

This showed that she actually wanted to listen.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy, and the air seemed to freeze.
