Chapter 167 Is this the gift you gave me?
Warm sunlight streamed through the window, and a gentle breeze caressed the boy's delicate face.

The boy sat at the table, his long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings.

With her well-defined fingers, she meticulously carved and polished, and a wooden hairpin quickly took shape in her hands.

The wooden hairpin is made of sandalwood, and the design is so lifelike that it seems to come alive.

With the final blow, the boy breathed a sigh of relief and put down the knife.

Her slender fingers were covered in cuts, but she was completely unaware of it.

Gazing at the sandalwood hairpin in her hand, a smile appeared in her beautiful peach blossom eyes.

She'll probably... like it...

A sweet smile appeared on the young man's fair face as he seemed to imagine the scene after their marriage.

Then, he put the wooden hairpin into a delicate little box and went out.

However, this varies depending on the distance.

The faint voice became increasingly clear.

"What? Aren't you going to play with your little pet?"

His alluring, magnetic voice was almost demonic, with a slightly husky tone that was incredibly captivating.

The loud crashing sound traveled through the door, abruptly stopping the boy's hand, which was about to knock on the door.

The woman chuckled sweetly in her silvery voice, "A mere scholar, powerless and without influence."

It's just a toy to pass the time, how can it compare to Your Highness?

"If I hadn't seen him lying in the corner looking like a pitiful stray dog, why would I have taken him in?"

The man's lips curled into a smile with interest. "Oh? And what about before..."

A loud 'bang' came from outside the door.

The two people inside the door stopped talking abruptly.

The boy lowered his eyes, his delicate face was somewhat pale, his thin lips were pressed into a straight line, and his wisps of hair covered his forehead, making it impossible to see the emotions in his eyes.

Leaning against the wall, her pale fingertips dug deep into her palms, a rustling sound reaching her ears.

At that moment, it was as if a tacit understanding had been reached, giving each other at least basic respect and space.

"Since you're here, come in."

Lu You parted her red lips slightly, her fair fingertips gently fastening the buttons on her clothes, and a faint hickey was visible on her swan-like neck.

Xing Shu leaned lazily against the soft footstool, her red robe half-revealed, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed. This was the scene that greeted the young man as he entered.

Lu You's neck still bore the hickeys she had just left, which stung his eyes.

"faint……"

A hint of ambiguity flickered in the boy's peach blossom eyes, as if nothing had happened, and he automatically ignored the kiss mark.

A soft smile appeared at the corners of her mouth, but it looked extremely forced from any angle.

"Today is your birthday, and I made you a gift. Do you like it?"

As he spoke, he took out the box that was hidden in a pocket in his sleeve.

"You heard everything that just now?"

Lu You's captivating fox-like eyes stared straight at the boy, as if all forced smiles were inescapable before her.

The boy's smile froze slightly, and he lowered his eyes as he opened the wooden box.

A beautifully carved, exquisitely crafted hairpin came into view.

Accompanying this is a pleasant sandalwood scent.

"Is this the gift you gave me?"

Lu You's watery eyes looked at the wooden hairpin that the boy held in his hand.

Even her beautiful hands had many scratches and cuts of varying depths.

P.S.: The female lead and the male supporting character didn't have any intimate relationship; the hickeys on her neck were pinched off by herself.

Note:
Rosewood: The material is very small, and it is extremely difficult to obtain long trees with a large diameter. The sapwood is narrow, the wood is dense and hard, and it sinks in water. The heartwood is bright red or orange-red.

After prolonged exposure to air, it turns into purplish-reddish-brown stripes with fine, floating patterns that are endlessly varied, and it has a fragrance.

It is also a precious medicinal material, and chairs and sofas made from it have healing properties. It has been considered the most valuable wood since ancient times.
