Li Rui didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You didn't even check to see if you liked it before rejecting it? I carefully selected it for you. "
Wen Moshi said, "Oh, then I'll take a look later."
Li Rui was really afraid that she would just go through the motions and say that she didn't like it when she opened it. However, he had no other choice. He secretly prepared himself to persuade her and made up his mind to shove the two gifts into her hands. After all, he bought them for her. It wasn't appropriate to bring them home and give them to anyone else.
The two of them ate and drank without much conversation. Soon, they finished the two bottles of beer. Wen Moshi waved her hand and asked for two more bottles. Li Rui didn't stop her. However, Wen Moshi wasn't in a hurry to drink when the beer was full this time. Instead, she took a tissue and wiped her mouth. She took the gift box from the side and looked at it with interest.
Li Rui's heart was in his throat. He was afraid that she would say, "I don't like it. Take it back."
Wen Moshi quickly opened the necklace box. The moment she saw the black pearl, her eyes lit up. She pinched the black pearl with her slender fingers and stroked it for a moment. Then, she curiously opened the box with the anklet. She stared at the anklet for a while and asked Li Rui, "Bracelet?"
Li Rui smiled and shook his head. He pointed under the table and said, "It's an anklet."
Wen Moshi was surprised. Her pretty face was full of question marks. She asked, "Why did you give me this?"
Li Rui smiled embarrassedly and said, "This was a gift when I bought the pearl necklace. The shop assistant thought that I bought it for my girlfriend, so she gave me this anklet and told me to use it to tie you up. Hehe, I couldn't refuse it, so I brought it over and gave it to you."
Wen Moshi didn't know whether to laugh or be angry. She was stunned for a moment, then sneered and closed the two boxes. She looked at him and said, "You seem to be very rich, but when it comes to things like gifts, one is enough. If you give too many, people might not appreciate it."
Li Rui knew that her words made sense, but he still asked her with a smile, "Do you appreciate it?"
Wen Moshi glanced at him and said, "I like the black pearl necklace very much. I'll accept it." With that, she picked up her chopsticks and continued eating and drinking.
Li Rui hurriedly asked, "What about the anklet?"
Wen Moshi said without looking up, "Isn't it with the pearl necklace?"
Li Rui laughed silently. Although this little woman was cold most of the time, she was still very cute. She could also arouse a man's desire to conquer her.
After dinner, they walked out of the restaurant in the night and went to the back alley to get their car. But just as they walked into the dark alley, a car suddenly sped up from the opposite side. Wen Moshi was originally walking on the left side of Li Rui. Although the alley was spacious, it was already filled with cars, so it became narrow. Li Rui was afraid that she would be hit by a car, so he reached out to hold her arm and pulled her to the right, using his body to protect her.
Wen Moshi was very surprised by his actions. She stopped in her tracks and looked at him in confusion, but when she saw the car that was almost touching his body, she quickly understood.
Something that Li Rui never expected happened suddenly. Wen Moshi actually raised her left hand and held his right arm.
Li Ruixin's head jumped, and his entire body stiffened. His mind started to wander. However, compared to his nervousness and excitement, Wen Moshi acted as if nothing had happened. She was calm and collected, as if this was how it should be.
The two of them walked together. Li Rui felt that Wen Moshi's body temperature seemed to be coming from her arm and burning his cheeks. In addition, a faint fragrance rushed into his nose. He didn't know if it was the fragrance of her hair or her body.
Li Rui persuaded himself. Actually, there was no need to be so agitated. He had already kissed her at the ice rink last night. Even though it was unintentional, it was still considered a kiss. What was this slightly intimate action? Moreover, she was only drinking and used him as an armrest at the last minute.
They were more than 50 meters away from the parking lot in the blink of an eye. When they reached the car, Wen Moshi casually retracted her left hand from Li Rui's right arm, opened the car door, and got in.
Li Rui was in a daze, as if he had just had a dream. He waited for her to drive the car out before getting into the car.
Wen Moshi said, "Let's go to my house."
Li Rui acknowledged in a daze. Only then did he realize that her tone was a little unnatural. There was a hint of timidity and nervousness. He didn't know why she was like this.
Wen Moshi drove out of the alley and returned to Youth Road. She drove home.
The two of them didn't speak on the way. A strange atmosphere surged in the car. When they were about to reach the courtyard house, the car stopped at an intersection and waited for the green light. Li Rui noticed Wen Moshi staring ahead in a daze from the corner of his eye, so he turned his head to look at her. He didn't expect her to quickly realize it and turn around to look at him. Li Rui smiled at her awkwardly. She smiled gently at him. In an instant, it was as if the sun had risen in the car.
When they reached home, Li Rui followed Wen Moshi into the main room. He suddenly realized that there was a huge copy of the "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion" on the opposite wall.
The "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion" was a rare treasure of the master of calligraphy, Wang Xizhi. Whether it was the composition, structure, or font, they were all extremely perfect. It was considered the most dazzling pearl in the history of calligraphy. Over the thousands of years, many people had copied this copybook. The font in front of him lacked the wildness of the master of calligraphy. Instead, it was more beautiful. When hundreds of words were put together, it had a different kind of beautiful atmosphere.
Li Rui looked at the signature. It said: "Mo Shi Shu in the Middle of the Night." There was a bright red seal beside it. He didn't know if the four words on it were in clerical script or small seal script. He only knew the word "Zi".
Wen Moshi saw that he was looking at the work and admiring it. She said, "It's just a scribble. Don't laugh at me."
Li Rui waved his hand and said, "How would I dare to laugh at you? My handwriting isn't bad either, but it's still far from being comparable to the descendants of a calligraphy and painting family like you. In my opinion, even if your handwriting isn't 90% of the master of calligraphy, it's at least 80%. "
Wen Moshi laughed at his praise. She shook her head and said, "You don't even know how to praise people. Since ancient times, none of the writers dared to compare themselves with the Master of Calligraphy. You're not praising me. You're scolding me. "
The two of them chatted for a while before Wen Moshi asked, "Do you want to drink tea or something?"
Li Rui said, "There's no need to trouble yourself. I'm not thirsty yet."
Wen Moshi said, "Then I'll make the decision for you. Drink tea. I just made flower tea. It tastes pretty good. "As she spoke, she took out a small jar of tea leaves from the cabinet and brewed tea for him.
After the tea was brewed, Li Rui took the teacup that the hostess personally handed him and took a sip. It was indeed flower tea, but he didn't know what flower it was. The taste was very fresh and strange. It was very different from the common jasmine tea.
"What flower tea is this?"
Wen Moshi said, "Bauhinia."
Li Rui made an 'oh' sound and asked again, "You said you did it yourself? How did you make it? "
Wen Moshi answered, "How did I make it? It's very simple. First, I went to the mountains to pick the budding Bauhinia flower buds. Then, I stir-fried them with green tea and dried them. If you like to drink it, you can take half of it back when you leave. "
Li Rui shook his head and said, "I'll leave it with you. I'll come to you when I want to drink it in the future."
When Wen Moshi heard this, she seemed to have thought of something. Her expression alternated between joy, melancholy, and loneliness. But in the end, a faint smile appeared on her face. She turned around and walked to the coffee table. She took out the gift box that had been placed on it just now and took out the black pearl necklace. She played with it for a while before walking to Li Rui's side.
Li Rui raised his eyebrows and looked at her questioningly. Wen Moshi handed the necklace to him and said coquettishly and pleadingly, "Put it on for me."
Li Rui's heart skipped a beat. He immediately remembered how she had held his arm intimately in the alley. He stared at her eyes and found that her eyebrows and the corners of her eyes were filled with obvious warmth. After seeing this scene, he didn't know why, but he felt that the secretion of saliva in his mouth suddenly increased. He couldn't help but swallow two mouthfuls of saliva. He took the necklace from her hand and looked at her white and slender neck. His heart was both eager and itchy.
Wen Moshi sat beside him openly and turned sideways to face him. She raised her sharp chin slightly, indicating that he could put it on.
Li Ruixin's head pounded. He unlocked the necklace in confusion. He held one end of the necklace in each hand and leaned over to gently wrap them around her neck. He fastened the necklace behind her neck. Wen Moshi cooperated and lowered her head to let him see the back of her neck so that it was easier for him to fasten it.
In less than ten seconds, the necklace was fastened. Li Rui waited for Wen Moshi to raise her head and gently adjusted the length of the necklace on both sides. After making sure that it was symmetrical, he stopped and looked at the effect of the necklace on her. He nodded proudly and praised, "It's very beautiful, very elegant, and very noble."
Wen Moshi looked at him with a smile and asked, "Are you praising the necklace or the person?" As she spoke, she lowered her head to look at the big black pearl.
Her question was a little ambiguous. Li Rui felt his face heat up after hearing it. He hadn't felt this way in a long, long time. He was very puzzled. Why could the woman in front of him make him feel this way? Could it be that he liked her? He said embarrassedly, "Of course it's the person."
Wen Moshi looked at him with a half-smile, her beautiful eyes flowing with light. Li Rui looked at her for a moment. His heart beat faster and faster, almost jumping out of his chest. He wanted to say goodbye and leave, but he couldn't bear to. However, if he didn't leave, he felt especially uncomfortable. He was in a dilemma.
Just then, Wen Moshi got up and walked into the room. She said, "Come and find me after you finish your tea."
