Chapter 734 Su Wuming 33
Chapter 734 Su Wuming 33
The two walked side by side on the way back to the inn. No one spoke, only the sound of each other's breathing and footsteps echoed in the silent night.
Su Wuming secretly glanced at Chu Hua and saw that she was looking up, admiring the beautiful scenery in the night sky. The moonlight shining on her fair face made her look even more beautiful and refined, like a fairy.
"This curfew is really ridiculous. We can't even go out for a walk and enjoy the moon so late at night. It's such a spoiler!" Chu Huan kicked the pebbles on the road, her tone full of dissatisfaction.
Su Wuming looked at her childish behavior, and a faint smile appeared on his lips: "The public security in Chang'an City is complicated, and the curfew is also for the safety of the people."
Chu Hua curled her lips and said, "Back then, when I was in the 21st century, the night was the busiest time, with all kinds of night market snacks, bars and KTVs, it was very exciting! It's nothing like here, once night falls, not even a ghost can be seen on the street."
After saying this, she shuddered exaggeratedly.
Su Wuming was amused by her exaggerated performance and shook his head helplessly: "Don't be afraid, Huan'er. Although Chang'an City is not as good as the... 21st century you mentioned, it is not that there are no ghosts. It's just that during curfew, everyone abides by the law."
The two of them walked in silence, each thinking about their own things. Su Wuming would occasionally steal a glance at Chu Hua, the girl's profile looked particularly gentle in the moonlight, she hummed an unknown little tune, like a kitten that had stolen honey, making him feel itchy.
After returning home, Chu Huan stretched and felt sleepy.
"Good night, Mr. Su." She yawned, turned around and went back to her room.
Su Wuming was anxious and blurted out: "Huan'er, wait!"
Chu Hua stopped and looked back in confusion: "Anything else?"
Su Wuming felt his heart beating wildly. He took a deep breath and tried to look calmer.
Under the moonlight, he looked particularly handsome, but his usually shrewd eyes were now a little flustered and shy. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't know where to start.
Chu Huan laughed inwardly when she saw him seeming to want to say something but hesitate.
This silly goose, just say whatever you want to say, why are you hesitating? She didn't urge him, just stood there quietly, waiting for him to speak.
"That... this, I'm giving it to you." Su Wuming finally mustered up the courage.
Su Wuming's hands trembled slightly as he pulled out a brocade box from his sleeve. The box was not big, but the workmanship was very delicate, with lifelike plum blossoms carved on it, glowing with a faint silver light under the moonlight.
He slowly opened the brocade box, and a jade hairpin of pure white lay quietly inside. The hairpin was carved into a blooming lotus, with layers of petals, delicate and exquisite. Under the moonlight, it looked even more crystal clear, as if emitting a faint fragrance.
"This...what is this?" Chu Huan looked at the jade hairpin in surprise and forgot to take it for a moment.
"I... I carved it myself." Su Wuming's voice was a little low, with a hint of barely perceptible nervousness.
"For...for you."
Chu Huan's gaze moved from the jade hairpin to Su Wuming's face. She saw that his ears were slightly red, his eyes were flickering, and he looked at a loss, which was very different from his usual calm and composed image.
Her heart moved, she reached out to take the brocade box, and carefully examined the jade hairpin. It felt warm and delicate to the touch, and the lotus petals were full and full of vitality, as if they were about to bloom in the next second.
"Very beautiful." Chu Hua exclaimed sincerely.
"Thank you, Mr. Su."
When Su Wuming saw that she accepted it, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
"As long as you like it." He said softly, looking at Chu Hua tenderly.
Chu Huan held the brocade box and gently stroked the smooth surface of the jade hairpin. The lotus was lifelike, and she could even feel the meticulousness and care that the craftsman had put into carving it.
But, why did Su Wuming give her a jade hairpin? Could it be that he felt sorry for her because she had a bald head?
But, that's just because she doesn't know how to style her hair...
"Mr. Su, this jade hairpin is very valuable, right?" Chu Huan weighed the brocade box. The jade was soft and it was obvious that it was not an ordinary item.
Su Wuming felt a little disappointed when he saw that she didn't seem to understand his feelings, but he still replied gently: "It's not expensive, just... some small things."
He coughed uncomfortably and said, "If Huan'er likes it, I'll carve it for you later."
Chu Hua's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Really? Mr. Su can also carve? That's amazing!"
She had a more filtered impression of Su Wuming. This man was good at solving cases and carving jade. He was simply a treasure boy! If he were in the 21st century, he would definitely be a male god!
Seeing that she was immersed in her own thoughts, Su Wuming waited quietly for her to come back to her senses with a gentle smile on his face.
Chu Huan suddenly remembered that she was still in ancient times, and secretly regretted why she had become a fangirl again. She quickly put away her starry eyes and coughed lightly to cover up her loss of composure.
"Well...it's getting late. I'll go back to my room first." After Chu Huan finished speaking, she turned around and walked away as if escaping. Her skirt drew a flowing arc behind her, like a flash of surprise, disappearing in a flash.
Su Wuming looked at her hurried back, feeling mixed emotions. Was her reaction just now shy, or...disdainful?
Su Wuming looked down at his empty hands, the warm touch of the jade hairpin still lingering on his palms. He had spent several days carefully carving it, hoping to make her smile, but now it seemed that he had done more harm than good.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head, then put the brocade box back into his sleeve. Was he too abrupt?
After returning to the room, Chu Hua's heartbeat still could not calm down. She took the jade hairpin out of the brocade box and played with it carefully in her palm. The quality of the jade and the craftsmanship were definitely priceless. Su Wuming gave it to her so easily. What did he mean by that?
She inserted the jade hairpin into her bun and looked at herself in the bronze mirror. The person in the mirror had skin as white as cream and eyebrows as beautiful as a painting. The jade hairpin made her look even more elegant and refined.
"It's really a good thing." Chu Hua nodded with satisfaction: "It's a pity that this idiot doesn't understand romance. He doesn't know how to say something nice when giving a gift."
She thought of Su Wuming's bewildered look just now, and couldn't help laughing again. This guy was usually so smart when solving cases, why did he become so stupid when he was in front of her?
Chu Huan got up early and looked left and right in front of the bronze mirror. Her black hair cascading down like a waterfall really gave her a headache.
In modern times, she always wore her hair down, unlike now, when she can't even style a simple bun.
She sighed, picked up a few strands of hair, twisted them randomly, and fixed them with a wooden hairpin. When she looked in the mirror, she looked like a bird's nest, messy, funny and ridiculous.
