Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

Page 43

The atmosphere here is much calmer than in the central square.

"Is there anything you want, like a necklace or something?" Lu Ye asked.

After browsing for a while, Violet still shook her head.

She didn't seem interested in items like jewelry.

But when she got there, she paused.

"What have you taken a fancy to?"

"No……"

She denied it, but her eyes honestly kept looking in the same direction.

It was a small stall, but the glass boxes used to hold the goods were quite large.

It was wiped very clean, without a speck of dust. Inside, there was a red velvet carpet, on which various kinds of jewelry were displayed. Behind each piece of jewelry was a white card with a description of the jewelry, which could be considered a marketing tactic.

So Lu Ye led her to the stall.

Welcome!

An elderly man greeted them kindly; he was probably the shop owner.

“Choose one,” Lu Ye said. “Dressing up is a very important thing for girls.”

"Um……"

Violet nodded gently.

But her gaze lingered on only one item.

Lu Ye followed her gaze and saw a silver ring. Compared to other jewelry, its craftsmanship was not particularly good, and its price was not high.

No matter how you look at it, it's just an ordinary ring.

But then he noticed that Violet wasn't staring at the ring, but at the card behind it.

The observant shop owner noticed this as well, and he said with a smile.

“It has a name, ‘Mandarin Duck’. It was a piece I made when I was young and just started as a jewelry craftsman. It’s not that great, but as the card says, wearing it means you can hope to spend your life with someone.”

"Does 'a lifetime' mean from birth to death?" Violet asked.

"Yes, it was originally a pair. The other ring is called 'Yang'. I gave it to my wife when I was young."

“What does ‘wife’ mean?” Violet asked.

"Young lady, don't you know that a wife is someone who can accompany you for a lifetime?"

"And what about your wife?"

"He died. He was hit by a stray bullet while fleeing during the fighting in the central region."

"But you said that wearing it would allow you to spend your whole life with someone..."

"Of course, she's with me too," the shop manager said with a smile.

"Where?" Violet looked around.

“Here.” The store manager tapped his chest.

"...Are you selling something this important?" Lu Ye asked.

“I have memories of her, and that’s enough,” the shop manager said. “Besides, I have no use for it anymore. If the young lady wants it, I’ll give it to you at a discount.”

Violet looked at the card; she could understand the writing on it.

"Even if we couldn't be born together, I'm willing to stay with you until death."

She looked at the text quietly, unconsciously placing her hand gently on her chest.

A soft spot in my heart seemed to have been touched.

A certain emotion was quietly stirring within, like a newborn beast baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.

It's as if it's saying "Give it to me now," it's asking Violet for something.

It wasn't just anger, it was pleading.

- Exactly.

To stay with you until death.

For some people in the world, this statement is not a hardship, but a romance.

“I…I want it,” Violet murmured softly.

"what?"

The old man couldn't understand because Violet was speaking in Chinese this time, not to the shop owner, but to Lu Ye.

"Really, boss? Could you please wrap this up for me?"

Lu Ye nodded in acknowledgment and handed the money to the shop owner.

The two left the place.

As they walked, the two were approached by passersby, including vendors, women, and girls who looked to be around Violet's age.

At this point, Lu Ye would encourage her to talk to people, anything at all.

Although Violet knew nothing about the girls' discussions about clothing taste and skincare methods.

But Lu Ye could tell from her expression that she was very relaxed.

When she first arrived on the island, besides the novelty, Violet was also a little nervous.

But now that's gone. On this beautiful night, the kindness of passersby seemed to melt away the little bit of defenses in her heart.

Sometimes, even if people don't speak the same language, they can still understand each other's behavior.

Chapter 52 Can you become my "wife"?

As they were almost back at the hotel, Lu Ye suddenly stopped.

Violet, who was holding onto his clothes, bumped headfirst into his back.

It wasn't because she was looking around.

Instead, she had been carefully carrying the small black box the whole way, inside which was the silver ring.

"If you're so worried, why don't you wear it?" Lu Ye asked.

"Put it on?" Violet shook her head gently. "I don't know how... I'm afraid I'll lose it."

"Then leave it to me. I'll help you when we get back." Lu Ye extended his hand.

Violet nodded gently and handed the black box to Lu Ye.

The two were greeted by the waiters and returned to their hotel room.

After hanging the clothes she bought in the closet, Lu Ye took out a silver ring from the small black box.

“Reach out, either one is fine,” he said.

"Then... the left hand."

Violet slowly raised her arm and stretched her hand forward, the back of her hand as smooth as jade.

For some reason, Lu Ye felt somewhat uneasy.

Putting a ring on a girl's finger is no joke.

But since the decision has been made to nurture her, this level of awareness is appropriate.

Yes, I took advantage of you.

But I will repay you by helping you to have a sound personality and live a happy life.

We will never let you become a weapon in the colonel's hands.

Lu Ye took a deep breath.

Violet.

"exist?"

"If my mom or aunt saw your hands, they would definitely ask you all sorts of questions, just like the girl I met today."

“You mean ‘maintenance’… I really don’t understand,” Violet said. “You taught me that cleaning the body is necessary, but is it really necessary to go to such lengths with the hands?”

Violet is strange.

For humans, the hand is merely a "tool" used for labor and tool use.

Why are those women so...urgent?

For a moment, she couldn't find the right adjective in her mind.

"Well, you'll find out later."

After briefly diverting his attention to ease his unease, Lu Ye gently held Violet's hand.

Feeling the soft, slightly cool touch, Lu Ye gently placed the silver ring onto Violet's index finger...

But he took the ring back halfway and then put it on Violet's middle finger.

A soft sigh drifted by, like a night breeze.

Violet reached her hand above her head.

The ring shimmered with a dazzling luster under the light.

A slight feeling of tightness came from my middle finger.
