Chapter 868: Chapter 865: Miss’s Gift

Lin Tian reached into his pocket, ready to take out the keys to open the door. It was unavoidable; she insisted on not putting them in her bag.

Just as Lin Tian was about to take out the keys, his hand was suddenly held down. Liu Ruming’s voice came from beside him: "Lin Tian, are you trying to take advantage of me?"

He thought Liu Ruming had sobered up. Looking down, he found her eyes were open, but her gaze remained hazy, only instinctively preventing Lin Tian from "taking advantage."

To Lin Tian, this remark felt quite unjust. If I had known, I would have left you at the hotel.

Silently, Lin Tian grumbled that if she hadn’t held his hand, he could have pulled out the keys long ago. Who was really taking advantage of whom?

He moved his hand, easily pushing Liu Ruming’s hand away, took out the keys, and smoothly opened the door.

"Teacher Ru Meng, I’ve safely brought you home. Now, you handle the rest yourself," Lin Tian said reluctantly after putting Liu Ruming onto her bed in the bedroom.

It’s not that Lin Tian was unwilling to stay and take care of her, but he was really afraid that he might make a mistake by staying. Liu Ruming’s good figure, pretty face, and aura were all stimulating Lin Tian’s nerves.

Lin Tian stood at the door, looking at the sleeping-beauty-like Liu Ruming inside, then softly said, "Teacher Ru Meng, who knows if we’ll have the chance to meet again after this farewell. You’re so young and beautiful, you should be careful and not get drunk again. Not every man is like me; be cautious of others taking advantage of you. Goodbye, I hope to see you again."

He gently closed the door, turned, and left. As he closed the door, Liu Ruming’s hand twitched, but ultimately, nothing happened.

"Lin Tian, if you don’t come down soon, I’ll start suspecting you have ill intentions toward Teacher Liu," Xiao Manxuan said, pouting, while watching Lin Tian get into the car.

"Second Miss, Teacher Ru Meng is my teacher; how could I?" Lin Tian quickly denied it. Although there was a brief moment of attraction, it didn’t go beyond that.

"Heh, I don’t believe you, you big flirt. Teacher Ru Meng isn’t much older than us, just graduated from college, still young and attractive. Are you claiming you have no thoughts about her?" Xiao Manxuan scoffed, clearly showing disbelief.

Women’s reasoning is indeed simple and straightforward. Lin Tian admitted that he had thoughts about Liu Ruming; such a beautiful woman, any man would think something.

But Lin Tian still smiled mischievously: "Hey, speaking of having thoughts, I actually have quite a few towards Second Miss. Last night I had a dream... about Second Miss. Not sure if it’s that saying: day thinking, night dreaming."

The little girl’s face blushed, coquettishly glancing at Lin Tian and gave a hum: "You’re so naughty, dreaming of me for no reason—definitely not a good thing."

Lin Tian chuckled twice without responding and drove away from the teachers’ apartment complex.

On the road, Xiao Manxuan couldn’t hold back and deliberately asked fiercely: "You rascal! Tell me quickly, what kind of dream did you have?"

"What kind of dream? Of course, a... wet dream," Lin Tian glanced at the little girl and said with a playful smile.

"You..." Xiao Manxuan was momentarily stunned, her blush spreading down to her neck because she had just had a wet dream too, and the subject was Lin Tian. This left her feeling somewhat ashamed.

Seeing the little girl’s shy red face, Lin Tian laughed heartily, which alleviated a good deal of his melancholy from tonight’s farewell; he detested separations.

Returning to the Xiao Mansion, it was already eleven o’clock at night, yet the villa’s living room lights were still on. The Miss was sitting on the sofa, bored, watching TV, with a big platter of fruits prepared in front of her.

"Miss, staying up so late, are you planning to train me again tonight?" Lin Tian joked.

"Tonight marks your high school graduation and freedom, so I’ll let you off tonight—you should thank me." The Miss said.

"Thank you, Heroine, for sparing me. In return, let me offer myself—please don’t refuse, Heroine," Lin Tian teased with a grin.

"Pfft..." Xiao Manxuan couldn’t help but laugh and then said, "You’re the first man daring enough to take advantage of my sister; humph, be careful, my sister might hit you."

"Xuanxuan, when did I let him take advantage of me? Don’t talk nonsense," the Miss said, somewhat guilty, deliberately keeping her face stern. She feared her sister might notice, as Lin Tian had kissed her several times before.

Xuanxuan stuck her tongue out; the Miss sighed helplessly and shook her head. She grabbed a box from beside her and opened it, saying: "This is a gift for you—consider it a memento of your high school days ending. From now on, you’re not high school students anymore; you’re adults."

Seeing what’s inside, Lin Tian was momentarily dazed by the sparkle of the box’s contents. Inside were two jade pendants, matching as a pair with one male and one female design—noteworthy for their enchanting purple reflection under the living room lights.

This purple, noble and mysterious, akin to the majesty of the Emperor outshining all colors. Only one kind of jade has such an effect: glass-grade Royal Purple Jade.

"These jade pendants are crafted from glass-grade Royal Purple Jade; could it be...?" Lin Tian guessed in surprise.

"You’re right. The jade used in these pendants is from the piece you bid on in Zhonghai City. Sister Song completed the creation just recently," the Miss explained.

Indeed, it was that exceptional piece of purple jade. Lin Tian mused that he didn’t want to sell it back then; such a once-in-a-century top-quality jade is even rarer than glass-grade Emperor Green Jade. Selling it would be a desecration, so even when Qinglan offered a high price, he didn’t sell.

"Thank you, sister," Xiao Manxuan said happily, then held up the female jade pendant from the box, unable to let go. Even for someone like Xiao Manxuan, such an exquisite pendant was irresistible; admired even by a legendary figure like Qinglan.

"If you’re going to thank someone, thank Lin Tian. He was the one who bid and carved it. I just asked Sister Song to do the crafting," the Miss said.

"The pendant’s cord is made from a special material capable of resisting significant external force, so even if you wear it while fighting, there’s no need to fear the cord breaking," the Miss added, directing the comment toward Lin Tian.

Lin Tian didn’t hold back and put on the pendant. In his heart, he wondered: since the Miss created a pair of pendants, what about hers? Lin Tian looked toward her neck. Although her clothes blocked the view, the cord around her neck indicated she was wearing a similar pendant.

Gazing at the Miss’s impressive stature, Lin Tian thought inwardly: Oh pendant, pendant, truly enviable.

The Miss seemed to notice Lin Tian’s intense gaze, and she secretly glared at him before telling Xiao Manxuan: "Xuanxuan, go upstairs; I need to talk to Lin Tian."
