Chapter 316: Chapter 316: Reach Out Your Hand
After that incident, Xiaoxiao drew another pair of rings, slightly different from the ones she had drawn before.
This time, the men’s ring had an openwork heart design, and the women’s ring featured a raised heart. When the women’s ring was placed over the men’s, the raised heart fit perfectly into the openwork heart shape.
The Shopkeeper couldn’t praise her enough, and Wang Xiangxiang’s eyes sparkled with admiration. "Xiaoxiao, how do you come up with so many ideas? This pair is also so beautiful."
Xiaoxiao smiled knowingly. What ideas could she have? These were just designs she had seen in modern times, and more beautiful ones were beyond her drawing skills. She could only manage this simple heart shape.
"When it’s my turn to get married, I want these unique couple rings—make sure you help me with it then."
Wang Xiangxiang really envied the phrase Xiaoxiao had said, "I wish to stand by your side and share a lifetime together." If only she could find someone like that.
"Sir, shall we measure the size now? Which finger would you like to wear it on?"
Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand for measurements, "On the ring finger."
"Have you brought the man’s size?"
"..." Xiaoxiao had actually forgotten the most important thing. Sizes had to be accurate; too large or too small, either way, the ring wouldn’t fit. And what meaning would a non-fitting ring symbolize?
Xiaoxiao carefully recalled the feeling when she held her nominal husband’s fingers, and she had a rough idea but wasn’t quite certain.
"Shopkeeper, could you stretch out your hand so I can see?"
The Shopkeeper hesitated, and that’s when Xiaoxiao realized how abrupt her request was. "Sorry, I just wanted to compare and see what size my husband might be."
With that, the Shopkeeper extended his hand. Xiaoxiao shook her head after a quick glance; the Shopkeeper’s hand was chubby, while her nominal husband’s hand was slender – there was no comparison.
Xiao’er also reached out his hand later, but Xiaoxiao shook her head again; it was too different to compare.
"Xiaoxiao, what should we do? We don’t have his size."
Wang Xiangxiang was also very anxious. What was supposed to be a smooth process was now delayed due to the lack of size.
Xiaoxiao felt dejected as well and was considering just making a ring around the estimated size, but as she looked around, she unexpectedly spotted someone.
She immediately walked towards the person.
"Master Chu, what a coincidence?"
Chu Lian was selecting gifts; his sister’s birthday was coming up, and his mother had insisted that he pick out jewelry from the Silver Pavilion. He didn’t want to, as the shock from an unexpected truth had made him reluctant to step out, but he couldn’t escape his mother’s nagging.
Upon hearing someone calling him, he felt somewhat dazed. Wasn’t that Xiaoxiao’s voice? He immediately turned around and saw a beautiful woman.
After a moment, he recognized Xiaoxiao. How did she become so beautiful?
"Yes, quite the coincidence."
Xiaoxiao smiled. See, she had thought her change wasn’t significant, and yet this benefactor recognized her at a glance.
"You’re here to buy jewelry?"
"Yes, for my sister’s birthday."
"Could you do me a favor?"
"What favor?"
"Could you extend your hand for a moment?"
Xiaoxiao thought it was still worth taking a look. If his hand was the right size, that would be ideal. If not, she would have to settle for an approximation.
Without a second thought, Chu Lian spread his hand according to Xiaoxiao’s instructions, laying it before her.
Upon seeing it, Xiaoxiao observed the slender hand—similar to her nominal husband’s. If their fingers were intertwined, she could make a comparison.
With this thought, she instinctively did just that.
