HCB Chapter 404 Hairpin
Chapter 404 Hairpin
"Brother Lu, is this hairpin really for me?" Xiao Siyue wanted to confirm it one more time.
"Yes, it's for you. I made it myself, but my skills aren't very good. Please don't mind it, Yue."
"No, no, I like it very much, thank you Brother Lu." Xiao Siyue shook her head.
How could she possibly complain? This was made by Brother Lu himself; the thought alone made her incredibly happy.
"I'm glad you don't mind, Yue. Let me put it in your hair," Lu Zhijin suggested.
"Huh?" Xiao Siyue was a little stunned, but Lu Zhijin had already taken the hairpin from his hand and gently put it on her head.
Xiao Siyue then realized what was happening and reached out to touch it; the hairpin had already been quietly inserted into her hair.
Lu Zhijin was even happier. Xiao Siyue did not refuse him to put a hairpin in her hair, which meant that she liked him too. He had noticed before that the girl would stare at him from time to time.
"Ah Yue, I, Lu Zhijin, am in love with Xiao Siyue. Ah Yue, do you also have feelings for me?" Although he was confident in himself, he was still a little uneasy at this moment.
Xiao Siyue chuckled softly upon seeing Lu Zhijin like this: "Didn't Brother Lu already put the hairpin on?"
Tying one's hair up and inserting a hairpin signifies a lifelong commitment; if one were unwilling, why would one insert a hairpin into their hair?
"Does Yue like me too? Yue." Lu Zhijin's current appearance is completely different from the image of the talented and unapproachable General Lu that others have of him; he looks somewhat silly.
"Yes, I like Brother Lu too. Brother Lu will be my boyfriend from now on. But remember your place. When you go out, remember to keep your distance from other rich girls." Xiao Siyue playfully reminded him.
"Yes, of course. Don't worry, Yue, I won't get too close to any other woman besides you." Lu Zhijin was very happy, and he couldn't suppress his smile.
"But Yue, what is a boyfriend?" This term is quite new to him. He knows what a friend is, but does a boyfriend refer to a male friend? Probably not, since he probably was one before.
"A couple in love calls each other boyfriend and girlfriend. You are my boyfriend, and I am your girlfriend," Xiao Siyue explained.
Then she extended her slender, white hand, as smooth as mutton fat jade, and said, "Boyfriend, please guide me in the future."
Although Lu Zhijin didn't know what Xiao Siyue meant, he still subconsciously extended his hand: "Please guide me, my girlfriend."
Two hands, one big and one small, clasped tightly together, and a couple was formed.
After they opened up to each other, the two stopped hiding their true feelings and looked at each other much more openly.
Xiao Siyue is a sucker for good looks. She was attracted to Lu Zhijin's appearance from the first time she met him. Even when they met again, she would always look at his handsome face. However, since people are more reserved these days, Xiao Siyue could only look at him secretly.
Now that this person is her boyfriend, she can look at him however she wants without any worries.
How could Lu Zhijin be so handsome? He'll be mine from now on.
Lu Zhijin felt a little embarrassed by Xiao Siyue's direct gaze, but considering their current relationship, he let Xiao Siyue be and didn't bother her.
He knew this girl was a womanizer, and luckily he was good-looking; otherwise, given her personality, she would never have fallen for him.
She is clearly very beautiful, like a fairy, but she still prefers to look at other people.
I was truly amazed when I met Xiao Siyue today.
Xiao Siyue, now fully grown, has a delicate oval face with soft, beautiful features, like the gentlest breeze in spring, softly caressing the heart. Beneath her arched eyebrows are a pair of almond-shaped eyes, bright and clear, like two pools of clear spring water, radiating an innocent and naive light, with an occasional flash of mischievousness adding to her liveliness.
Her skin was as white as jade, so delicate it seemed one could see the blood flowing beneath, tinged with a faint blush, like the morning glow on the horizon. Her lips were naturally red, as luscious as cherries, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, a captivating smile. Her jet-black hair was styled into an exquisite updo, adorned with several pearl and jade hairpins that shimmered in the sunlight. She was like a peony blooming in the human world, noble and radiant.
Her light blue dress added a touch of playfulness to her already lively face, and her whole demeanor exuded a fresh and elegant charm, captivating him completely.
"Are you satisfied with my appearance, Yue?" Lu Zhijin teased, seeing that Xiao Siyue had been staring at his face for a long time without coming back to her senses.
"Satisfied, very satisfied. Brother Lu truly lives up to his reputation as the most handsome man in the capital. From now on, he's mine. I'm so happy just thinking about it." Xiao Siyue wasn't shy or embarrassed at all when teased.
Their relationship grew closer, and they became more casual in their conversation. Lu Zhijin took good care of Xiao Siyue. After sitting for a while, he took her out to eat. He had originally planned to take her out for some fun, but Xiao Siyue saw that it was getting late and decided to go home.
"Ah Yue, I'll take you home." The two had just realized their feelings for each other and really didn't want to part. Besides, he was busy with official duties and rarely had time to see Xiao Siyue.
In addition, he couldn't meet with Xiao Siyue too frequently, as it would damage Xiao Siyue's reputation.
I really want to marry A-Yue as soon as possible, so we won't have to be separated anymore.
"Okay, thank you very much, boyfriend." Xiao Siyue turned her head and said playfully.
The two walked ahead like snails, followed by Lan Yi and Shi Qing. They glanced at each other from time to time. When did this young lady become so close to General Lu? And judging from the sweet atmosphere between them, they didn't need to guess; they must like each other.
They were so incompetent; they didn't even notice.
Lu Zhijin escorted Xiao Siyue to the Xiao family's door, and the two said goodbye with reluctance.
"Ah Yue, your coming-of-age ceremony is the day after tomorrow. After you turn 18, I'll have my parents come and propose marriage, okay?" He could restrain himself before, but now that he knows the girl he loves also loves him, he can't wait to see her every day.
"Ah, Brother Lu, isn't this a bit too hasty?" Xiao Siyue was a little embarrassed. It wasn't that she disliked Lu Zhijin, and she knew about the Lu family's situation, but she had only just started dating and was only fifteen years old.
That age would be considered middle school in modern times.
"Yes, I was too hasty. I'll propose when Yue is willing." Lu Zhijin respected Xiao Siyue's wishes and didn't want her to be unhappy.
"Thank you, Brother Lu." Xiao Siyue was very happy. She glanced around and saw that there was no one else around. Suddenly, she stretched out her arms and quickly hugged him.
"Brother Lu, I'm going in now. Goodbye."
