Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Coming out of the restaurant, Zuo Buqiu said with a smile, "Yu Ru, the food in that restaurant is terrible. Fortunately, the portions are small, otherwise I don't know how it would come out with so many people watching."

Yu Ru nodded, "It tastes bad, but it's worth it to watch the show of how the dish was served."

In fact, she felt it was not worth it at all. She had just paid the bill, and even though she had been mentally prepared, she was still shocked by the bill. Just ten disgusting dishes, plus a few snacks, cost 38,619 yuan.

She suspected that nineteen was the price for the dishes, and the remaining thirty-eight thousand six hundred and eight was for the funny serving of the dishes.

"Did you record the video when they served the first dish?" Zuo Buqiu asked again.

Yu Ru nodded.

"Send me a copy. That scene is so funny. I wanted to record it, but the commentator was standing next to me, so I didn't."

Yu Ru nodded.

The two of them later went to an ordinary Chinese restaurant and had a big meal.

……

When Yu Ru returned to Jianshan Yunting, it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening.

Yunjixing sent her another message: Aru, are you back? Did you eat enough outside? I left some food and cake for you.

Yu Ru: I’m back and full, but your cake can be used as a midnight snack.

Yun Jixing was so happy to see Yu Ru agreed to eat the cake that she immediately stood up from the sofa and went to get the things that had been prepared for her. Jiang Zaizhou, Xi Yizai and Jun Wuxia were all sitting nearby. They had gathered in the living room to chat after dinner. When they saw him stand up, everyone looked at him. Jiang Zaizhou asked, "What are you doing, Xiaoxin? Where are you going?"

"Aru is back. I'll go see her and be back soon."

After packing up the things for Yu Ru, Yun Jixing dragged the fully loaded small trailer and quickly walked towards her home. Unexpectedly, they met in the elevator.

"Aru." Yun Jixing looked at Yu Ru and called out happily.

Seeing him wearing the gown she made, Yu Ru was also very happy. She smiled and used sign language to say, "You look good in this."

The elevator reached the destination floor and the two got out together.

Yun Jixing was just praised by Yu Ru, and he was a little embarrassed and didn't dare to look at her. He followed Yu Ru like a little follower and said, "Aru, it's because you make good clothes. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to wear them well. Mom and Dad both said that the clothes you make are very beautiful."

After a pause, he continued, "Mom likes the skirt you gave her before. She wears it when the weather is not so cold. She also took a lot of photos and asked me to show them to you. Aunt Yu also likes the bag you made."

Yu Ru stretched out a hand and placed it on the fingerprint sensing area of ​​the door lock to open the door. She looked at him and smiled, and nodded in response. Her eyes seemed to say: As long as they like it.

As soon as Yun Jixing and Yu Ru entered the house, he couldn't wait to introduce to her the things he had brought, like a child who had won a prize in kindergarten and returned home urgently needing praise from his parents.

The things he introduced first were all food, snacks, supplements, and various nutritious milks. After the introduction, he asked, "Aru, after drinking the milk I gave you last time, did you feel that your appetite had improved and you could eat more?"

Yu Ru thought about it for a moment and nodded, "It tastes good and it works."

"That's good, Aru. The effects of this batch are slightly different from the previous ones. If you feel uncomfortable after drinking it, be sure to tell me."

Yun Jixing turned around and took out a long nanmu box from the small trailer, and said, "For this birthday, I went back home first and found a little collection. I thought it would be very suitable for you, so I brought it here."

As he spoke, he turned the silver-gilt "Harmony and Unity" high relief lock on the box and opened it. Inside the box stood seven jade bracelets, each of which belonged to a different color system and had its own characteristics. All of them were of high ice quality and above, with top-quality water quality, clear and beautiful, and invisible.

Yu Ru sometimes makes bracelets and necklaces, and the crystal gems she uses are all real, so she has some knowledge of stones. She can tell at a glance that the seven bracelets in front of her are good stuff.

She looked up at Yun Jixing and said in sign language, "I don't want it. It's too expensive. I'm not your girlfriend. I can't accept it now."

"Aru, you are not my girlfriend now, but you are my good friend. Take it, you are the most valuable, you are priceless, these things are just insignificant stones next to you."

Yu Ru still shook her head.

Yun Jixing knew her character well, so he didn't force her. He closed the box, took out another box from the small trailer and opened it in front of Yu Ru.

Inside is a complete set of jewelry, including necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and rings, a set of jewelry that is very suitable for spring. The necklace is a gold necklace inlaid with green jadeite butterfly pearls. The bracelet and earrings both have butterfly elements. The craftsmanship is complex and diverse, using a variety of techniques such as filigree inlay, engraving, wire drawing and engraving.

The main components of this set of jewelry are gold and pearls. The price is not as exaggerated as jade, so it is not that expensive. Yu Ru accepted it.

After accepting his gift, she turned back to the study and took out the second birthday gift she had prepared for Yun Jixing, which was two hats.

One was made using the beading technique, imitating the Emperor Guangxu's Ruyi hat with stone blue satin and rice beads and lantern pattern. However, the emperor's things, even if they were just an imitation, might not be able to hold up when worn by ordinary people, and might even bring about a bad influence. So she made major changes.

She changed the colors of the beads a lot. The double happiness lantern pattern was replaced with a blessing lantern. She removed the original hanging red tassel, leaving only the flower knot on the top of the hat.

The other one is a replica of a type of hat worn by ancient Chinese children - a silver-gilt double-lion hat.

The double lion hat was dark red, which matched what Yun Jixing was wearing now. Yu Ru gave him the Ruyi hat, and took the double lion hat herself, turning it in front of him. After showing it to him, she motioned him to lower his head and put the hat on his head.

Yun Jixing reached out and touched the bronze lion on the hat, and said with a little excitement, "Aru, this hat is a replica of the ancient double-lion children's hat, right? It's well made, I like this hat."

Yu Ru nodded with a smile, "I'm glad you like it. Your friends should still be at your house, right? Go back and don't keep your friends waiting for too long."

"Aru..." Yun Jixing felt a little sad when he heard Yu Ru wanted him to go. He stretched out his hand to her carefully and tried to hold her hand.

Yu Ru glanced at his hand and didn't react much, so he got bolder and held her hand. "A Ru, are you really not going to go back with me? My friends all want to meet you. You already know Jiang Zaizhou, but there's Xi Yizai and his wife you haven't met yet."

Yu Ru lowered her eyes and shook her head.

Many times, apart from necessary communication, she is afraid to interact with others and does not like to take the initiative to make friends. She just waits for others to come to her to communicate because she is worried that she will see disappointment and embarrassment in others' eyes.

Her situation was actually a bit embarrassing. She knew that she came from a poor family, so in order to survive better, she spent a lot of time learning skills and working hard. Most of the rest of her time was spent on reading and watching documentaries to supplement her knowledge.

Her so-called pastimes were rarely purely entertaining and required no brainpower.

She only watches the latest hot news when she watches videos, and rarely watches other things. She can't keep up with the speed of the updates of the hot memes on the Internet, and she doesn't understand many of the Internet terms used by others. She doesn't chase stars or TV series, but only studies some anime, comics and games because of work needs.

That's why she doesn't understand many topics that ordinary people talk about, and she can't reach the level of higher-level cognition. When she's with others, it's hard for her to have topics to talk about, and she doesn't understand what others are talking about. In other words, she can talk about it, but it's not interesting.

She thought that she was not an interesting person, and people generally liked to have interesting and lively people as friends because that could bring them happiness.

Only when there are some academic exchanges can she have a good chat.

It must be difficult for her to make friends.

Yun Jixing held her hand tightly, took two steps forward to get closer to her, and asked softly, "Aru, why can't we be together?"

Yu Ru still shook her head, "Wait a minute, there are some things I need some time to think about how to tell you."

In the end, Yun Jixing still failed to persuade Yu Ru.

Back in the living room, everyone was not chatting, but playing cards. Jiang Zaizhou saw the hat on his head and didn't want the cards anymore. He threw it away and jumped up to wear it.

"Aww wow wow...so cute, put it on me! Put it on me!"
