Chapter 53

Shen Youlin took the initiative to explain to her, "I\'ve worked in a second-hand luxury goods store to experience life and accumulate material."

Under his starry-eyed gaze, Yu Shu blandly said, "I don\'t want to ask what material you accumulated and what you plan to do with it."

"Humph~"

Shen Youlin, whose mind was seen through, haughtily turned his head aside.

On the way to the hospital, Yu Shu was touching up her lipstick in the passenger seat when she accidentally smeared it outside her lips. She looked in the storage box for a tissue. Next to the tissues was an exquisite gift box, placed upside down and tossed aside. It was clearly thrown here casually, and the ribbon on the gift box was still tied by her.

Shen Youlin instantly felt goosebumps. This was the gift Yu Shu had given him. That day at the restaurant, he had kicked over the dinner table. He hadn\'t thought of this thing at all. The waiter found it while cleaning up and hurriedly chased him out to return it to him when he had already gotten into the car.

Afterwards, afterwards he just forgot about it.

Yu Shu put the gift box in her handbag, "I\'m not giving it anymore."

Shen Youlin hurriedly said, "Don\'t! What principle says you can take back a gift you gave someone!"

Yu Shu looked out the window and ignored him. Her whole body showed refusal.

"Why are you ignoring me again..." Shen Youlin\'s tone sounded aggrieved.

"I\'m angry."

"Will you still give me the gift after you stop being angry?"

"Don\'t know."

"What can I do to make you forgive me? Or do you want to beat me up? Hit me on the bridge of my nose, it doesn\'t matter if you break it."

"You don\'t know why I\'m angry?"

"Why?"

Was the necklace you gave me just to get me to lower my guard?

Feeling somewhat annoyed, Yu Shu rubbed her temples, "Forget it."

Seeing that she didn\'t want to talk more about it, Shen Youlin changed the subject. Although Yu Shu spoke flatly without enthusiasm, she responded to everything he said.

Yu Shu got new medicine and a smaller piece of gauze. Her injury didn\'t look as scary anymore. On the way back, she kept looking at herself in the mirror. Shen Youlin suggested taking her out for a meal but she rejected it outright.

Yu Shu didn\'t want to wander around outside with the gauze on her face. At the second-hand luxury goods shop, people had mistakenly thought she\'d gotten plastic surgery on her nose. Two girls had even asked her which hospital she went to. She said she had injured her nose. The two girls\' eyes instantly became contemptuous, thinking she had gotten cosmetic surgery but was pretentiously claiming to be all natural.

She didn\'t discriminate against cosmetic surgery at all. If she really got it, she definitely wouldn\'t try to hide it. But she was completely natural and got falsely accused.

Vexing.

Not long after Yu Shu returned home, the doorbell rang.

Shen Youlin was standing outside the door with comical cartoon band-aids stuck to the bridge of his nose, bobbing his head to show them off. Dou\'e was not to be outdone, giving a wang wang and tilting her head to show Yu Shu the row of cartoon band-aids on her doggie nose.

Yu Shu chuckled. Shen Youlin and Dou\'e laughed as well.

Shen Youlin bent at the waist, left hand behind his back and right arm curved forward towards Yu Shu, "My fair lady, may I have the pleasure of dining with you tonight?"

Yu Shu was unmoved, "Say some nicer things and I\'ll consider it."

"I\'m really done with you, you shrew! Are you even human?!" Shen Youlin suddenly stood up straight. "You\'re simply an immortal beauty descended into the human realm! And you don\'t behave yourself down here among us mortals, just keep casually taking lives with that face of yours, not leaving us common folk any way to live!"

Shen Youlin knew very well that complimenting a girl for being kind, gentle, well-behaved and cute were all fake. Complimenting their looks was the real deal.

"Go on," Yu Shu said with a smile.

"Were you Mother Nüwa showing off her skills? Are you mixed race? Half fairy, half beauty kind of thing." Shen Youlin sincerely meant his compliments. His tone was straightforward, "You said you just had to be moderately good-looking, didn\'t you? But you just had to go and make yourself so gorgeous you maxed it out! So gorgeous that gorgeous itself opened the door for you and welcomed you home!"

Satisfied, Yu Shu elegantly extended a hand with modesty and restraint.

Little Benefactor Shen was quick on the uptake—with a shake of his sleeve, he took her by the hand using the back of his own, supporting her as they walked to his home, loudly proclaiming, "The fairy maiden is departing the palace!"

"Keep it down. You\'ll disturb the neighbors. How embarrassing!"

"I\'m good looking. It\'s not embarrassing."

With a whine, Dou\'e wagged her tail and followed along.

Shen Youlin couldn\'t cook himself, so a 5-star hotel chef brought ingredients over to make dinner freshly on-site, then cleaned up the kitchen and left after everything was ready.

The table was filled with delicious gourmet delicacies, and even Dou\'e had a luxurious 5-star doggie meal made for her by the renowned chef.

Shen Youlin poured her fruit juice and filled up his own glass to the brim with red wine, "Your injury\'s not healed yet so don\'t drink wine for now. This one\'s my wine of apology—I\'ll knock it back."

Yu Shu didn\'t try to stop him, just rested her chin on her hand to watch him, waiting until he\'d downed it all in one go to disingenuously say, "Oh my, drinking so much on an empty stomach is hard on the digestive system. Eat, eat."

"Can you act a little more genuinely?"

Yu Shu stuck out her tongue, indicating she couldn\'t.

"Can you forgive me now?" Shen Youlin pressed his lips together tightly, his face full of hope.

Yu Shu slowly drawled, "Well then I shall... begrudgingly... magnanimously forgive you."

Happy, Shen Youlin took out a gift box and set it down in front of Yu Shu. Yu Shu warily moved farther away.

The shape of the box was flat. Not even as big as her palm. Not big enough to hold boxing wraps but more than roomy enough for a few spiders or cockroaches.

Looking utterly defeated, Shen Youlin slowly opened the box. Inside was a diamond snake bracelet that refracted the lamp light into dazzling, splendid starlight.

It was from the same collection as that necklace.

Shen Youlin said in self-mockery, "Looks like any gifts for you in the future will have to go in transparent boxes."

"Mm. Good that you understand." Yu Shu picked up the bracelet and clasped it around her wrist.

Her wrist was fair but not slender, plump just right. Any bracelet suited it.

"Thanks."

Shen Youlin held his hand out to her, "Just verbal thanks isn\'t enough. According to the rituals, isn\'t it necessary to reciprocate with something more tangible?"

Yu Shu lifted her chin, "I refuse!"

"I\'m not picky. What you gave me before is fine."

"You\'re not worthy!"
