The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country

The next morning, Ru Yue went to the carriage of Prince Kang's mansion to check the pulse of the Crown Princess and the young prince again. After confirming that both of them were fine, she said goodbye to them.

Ru Yue curled up beside Chu Ning'an, not even in the mood to look outside, just like a lazy cat. Chu Ning'an thought that Ru Yue was uncomfortable because she curled up in the carriage last night. "Are you sore from sleeping in the carriage last night?" As he said that, he did not forget to help her massage the acupoints on her joints, trying to make her feel more comfortable.

"No, I'm not feeling uncomfortable, it's just that the carriage ride is too bumpy and boring." She didn't sleep in the carriage last night. After everyone fell asleep, she slipped into the space and slept on the high bed with soft pillows. It was just that she had made up for her sleep in the afternoon and couldn't sleep last night. In the morning, she was afraid of being discovered, so she left the space early, which led to her looking sleep-deprived.

Seeing her weak appearance, Chu Ningan felt extremely distressed. He held her in his arms and adjusted her to a comfortable position. "We still have to travel all morning today. Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

"Did you sleep well outside last night?" Ru Yue asked instead of answering.

Last night they slept in the wilderness. Ru Yue slept alone in the carriage, and Chu Ning'an had to sleep outside the carriage. Fortunately, Prince Kang's mansion brought oilcloth and felt, which he used as a simple shelter around the fire, so he could barely fall asleep.

Hearing Ru Yue's concern for him, Chu Ning'an curled up the corners of his mouth unconsciously, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Seeing that she was still listless, Chu Ning'an narrowed his eyes, glanced at his sleeve pocket, straightened Ru Yue's body, supported her shoulders, and asked mysteriously, "Do you know what day it is today?"

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are still some days before the Winter Solstice. It seems that there are no special days in the second half of the year. She opened her confused peach blossom eyes and shook her head.

"I knew you'd forgotten." He said fondly, pulling out a delicate hairpin from his sleeve pocket and handing it to her. "This is a birthday gift for you turning fourteen. Do you like it?"

When Ru Yue heard this, she immediately became excited, "Oh, today is my birthday, I didn't even remember it." She raised her hand and took the unique hairpin.

Was it a coincidence? Ru Yue's birthday, like the original owner's, was the sixth of October. Because she was an orphan in her previous life, she had no elders to celebrate her birthday. Over time, she had stopped taking it seriously. Now that she had traveled through time, she still lacked parents. Unexpectedly, Chu Ning'an had remembered it for her and even sent her a gift.

Ru Yue took the hairpin and played with it carefully. Its golden color resembled jade, and the head of the hairpin was carved in the shape of auspicious clouds. It was simple and elegant, yet unique and elegant. In particular, a closer look at the entire hairpin revealed the faint texture of wood, which was fresh and natural.

She always felt that ancient jewelry and head ornaments were too exquisite and not light enough, so she never bought these things for herself. She usually went out with a plain face, and when she needed to dress up occasionally, she would just ask Ruyi to give her ribbons, silk flowers and the like.

She really loved the birthday gift Chu Ning'an gave her today.

"Thank you, Chu Ning'an, I like it very much. This is the first time I have received a birthday present. Thank you so much!" Ru Yue's voice was choked with sobs, and she hugged Chu Ning'an back. This was the first birthday present she had received in her past and present life.

Chu Ning'an thought she was thinking about her life in Lao Meng's house, so he comforted her, "Don't be sad, the unhappy days in the past will never come again. I will celebrate your birthday for you in the future."

Ru Yue nestled in his arms, holding the small hairpin in her hand, unable to let it go. The regrets of two lives were made up by this extremely warm-hearted man. How lucky was she?

"Oh, there is a moon mark on the hairpin. It's so unique. Where did you buy it?" She suddenly looked up at Chu Ning'an, her eyes full of disbelief.

He ruffled her soft hair, reached out and took the hairpin and pinned it on Ru Yue's bun. "A few days ago, I accidentally found a piece of golden nanmu wood. Since your birthday is coming soon, I thought I'd carve it into a hairpin as a gift for you."

"Isn't golden nanmu very rare? You wouldn't go hungry and spend all your money on buying this wood, would you?"

"Silly boy, I can't possibly use the money you gave me to buy you a gift." Chu Ning'an said seriously, "A student at the academy wanted someone to help him write an essay for his elders at home. I saw him playing with this wood and he really liked it, so I traded it with him."

"Oh, do you and I still want to separate from each other?" She felt a little uncomfortable.

"Of course we don't need to share it at other times, but I must give you your birthday gift myself." He said it as a matter of course.

"I didn't expect you to have this skill."

"Practice makes perfect."

"Ok?"

“Carve more with other woods, and as you practice, you’ll naturally become good at it.”

She didn't speak for a long time. Chu Ning'an thought she was asleep. She turned her head and said to him, "Chu Ning'an, this is the best gift I have ever received. Thank you, really!" She put her arms around him.
