Chapter 1644 - 1644 Ill Make You Pay
1644 Ill Make You Pay
Yes. Kong Ming did not hesitate. I was already wearing this jade pendant when my teacher took me in. No ones come looking for it after all these years, so theres not much point even if I continue to wear itbut this pendant is all I have.
Yaoyao mulled over his words.
Basically, he was saying that his family had left him the jade pendant, and he had waited many years for them to find him, but they had never shown up, so he had stopped hoping for their return. Also, this jade pendant was the only valuable thing he possessed.
Baoyu was still uncertain. But this is yours
Its yours now. There was no hesitation in Kong Mings eyes as he replied.
Seeing that Baoyu was still doubtful, Yaoyao said, Hurry up and keep it. Hell be yours soon anyway, so whats his is yours. Besides, this is his token of grat.i.tude for you, so dont worry about it. Just keep it.
Baoyu eventually reached out and took it. She studied it for a while, then put it away with great care.
The corners of Kong Mings mouth twitched.
As Yaoyao watched them, a thought occurred to herdid Kong Ming say he wanted to become a monk in Tianzhu Temple on purpose because he was actually already aware of Baoyus feelings for him?
Otherwise, why would he change his mind so easily?
After musing about the idea for a while, Yaoyao suddenly stood up and suggested, Since Kong Mings going to resume a secular life, he shouldnt wear monastic robes anymore. Lets go shopping and buy him some casual clothing.
Kong Ming pursed his lips but did not decline.
Baoyu glanced at the monastic robes he was wearing, then suddenly turned to Yaoyao and stammered, A-actually, I made two robes for Kong Ming.
Yaoyao blinked and stared at her in surprise. You made clothes for him?
Embarra.s.sed by her gaze, Baoyu muttered a hasty Ill go and fetch them before das.h.i.+ng off.
When Yaoyao turned back to Kong Ming, her cheerful expression was gone. She said warningly, Baoyus a wonderful girl. If you feel nothing for her, you should leave as soon as possible, but if youre willing to accept her feelings, you have to offer her your whole heart. If you let her down, Ill make you pay. Understand?
Kong Ming nodded without commenting on the drastic change in her att.i.tude. Yes.
Yaoyao was not too satisfied with his answer, but since he had nodded, it meant that he had gotten her message.
Soon, Baoyu returned with the robes she had made herself.
There were two colors, cyan and blue.
When Kong Ming saw the clothes in the girls arms, he was stunned.
Go ahead and try them on, Kong Ming. If they dont fit, Ill redo them, Baoyu urged.
Kong Ming got up and took them from her.
He could tell from the st.i.tching that the person who had sewn them was no needlework expert. However, each st.i.tch was strong and secure, which showed how much effort the person had poured into making these clothes.
There had been no one else in the temple except him and his teacher, so he had to make his own clothes in the past.
Ever since he was young, his teacher had personally taught him how to make his own robes.
Actually, his sewing was better than Baoyus.
However, she was the first person besides his teacher to sew clothes for him.
He ran a finger along the st.i.tches, a feeling of warmth flowing through his heart.
Thank you, Baoyu. He looked at her sincerely.
Baoyu replied a little awkwardly, Im not that good at sewing, so Im afraid youll have to make do with these clothes. If you cant get used to them, we can buy some ready-made ones outside.
