Rebirth: My Childhood Sweetheart Came into My Arms

The boss was taken aback when he heard this.

He could understand the idea of ​​"emerging from the mud unsullied," but "the whiter the better"... that's something only someone who doesn't understand stones would say.

"Young man, you can't just look at the color of this kind of thing; you also have to look at the transparency. There can't be any flaws. Those dead white ones are all plastic." The shopkeeper was also very helpful, and he even explained to He Ziyu, "Look at this one; this is good material, crystal clear."

Ignoring the shopkeeper's instructions, He Ziyu insisted, "It's okay, I don't need the good stuff, you can give me plastic stuff."

The plastic white lotus flower suits He Ningqiu quite well.

Upon hearing this and seeing He Ziyu's school uniform, the shopkeeper guessed that he was probably a poor student who couldn't afford expensive things, and his enthusiasm for selling immediately waned.

He opened the drawer, took out a few boxes, and threw them onto the glass cabinet.

"These are all cheap, take your pick."

"Thank you, boss."

Despite the shopkeeper's disdain, He Ziyu was not angry and happily started picking out items, asking Jiang Chengyu which one looked better as he did so.

Although Jiang Chengyu was just a student, he came from a large family and was used to seeing high-end things. These pendants in front of him were obviously cheap, but this was a gift that He Ziyu was going to give to his younger brother. He had chosen them so carefully, so what could Jiang Chengyu say?

After careful selection, He Ziyu finally chose the ugliest one: a dead white lotus. Although it was a lotus flower, it looked like a wreath at first glance because it was surrounded by a light green ring.

"Brother Yu, what do you think of this? Isn't it pretty?" He Ziyu held the pendant, a harmless smile on his face.

Jiang Chengyu: "..." How can he save his son Ayu's aesthetic sense?

While Jiang Chengyu was still fretting over there, He Ziyu was already overjoyed over here.

He wanted to disgust He Ningqiu, and he wanted to disgust her silently.

As a gift his older brother bought for him, he couldn't possibly refuse to wear it. Hanging it around his neck would perfectly accentuate his extraordinary and refined demeanor.

"Boss, I'll take this one." He Ziyu pointed to the pendant, preparing to take out his money.

The boss glanced at the "ugliest thing in the shop," which had been kept hidden away since the shop opened, and his lips twitched twice.

It seems this child not only has no money, but also has eye problems.

"That fifty, but since you're a student, thirty-five will do."

"Thirty-five doesn't sound good, so I'll give you thirty-eight instead."

3838, Ningqiu Lotus.

It really rhymes...

Seeing that He Ziyu was about to pay, Jiang Chengyu couldn't help but grab his arm.

He Ziyu looked at him strangely, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Chengyu hesitated for two seconds, then leaned close to his ear: "If you don't have that much money with you, I can lend you some. Although I don't have much on me either, we should be able to scrape together enough to buy a nicer one..."

He Ziyu thought Jiang Chengyu was going to say something serious, but when he heard Jiang Chengyu weakly say that he would help him pay, he paused for a moment and then burst out laughing.

"Brother Yu, do you think the one I picked is ugly?"

"Yes... a little." Jiang Chengyu nodded, telling the truth.

He Ziyu was even happier to receive a positive answer.

He pressed Jiang Chengyu's hand down and said, "You should have heard the idiom 'things reach their extreme and then reverse,' right? Some things are beautiful when they are extremely ugly. This lotus flower is one of them. Look at it more, and you will discover its loveliness."

After saying that, He Ziyu paid the money.

After collecting the money, the boss had the phrase "ugliness to the extreme is beauty" echoing in his ears, and suddenly began to have deep doubts about the aesthetic sense he had cultivated over the years.
