Chapter 1137: I Like Its… Owner

Ye Linlang looked at Jiang Qiran’s meticulous dressing, and suddenly thought of another possibility.

He didn’t want this shirt, could it be because he was a germaphobe, so he didn’t like others who used his things?

Ye Linlang carefully looked at Jiang Qiran, with an ingratiating expression.

“This shirt seems to be brand new… do you dislike it because I’m wearing it? I promise, I can wash it clean! It will be absolutely spotless!”

Jiang Qiran quietly looked at Ye Linlang’s vivid expression and suddenly felt that Ye Linlang was a little like the ragdoll cat raised by his great-grandfather.

Every time he went, the cat seemed to want to come over and get close to him, but it didn’t dare to act rashly. It could only blink its eyes and look at him pitifully.

Jiang Qiran thought about that scene and suddenly felt that he could let Ye Linlang meet the ragdoll cat. Perhaps they could establish some kind of cross-species friendship.

“It’s not because of that. The cufflinks of this shirt fell off. I don’t like incomplete things. I was planning to throw it away.”

Eh, the cufflinks fell off?

Ye Linlang was stunned when she heard that. She followed Jiang Qiran’s instructions and realized that one of the cufflinks was missing on the white shirt.

And from the style of the cufflinks, it seemed to be connected with some kind of black trinitite.

The black trinitite was very unique. It was shining under a good ray light from the floor-to-ceiling window.

Ye Linlang could not help but play with the remaining black cufflinks on her right hand. It felt cold and smooth.

“This stone is so beautiful. Is it made of glass?”

Jiang Qiran looked at Ye Linlang as if he was looking at an idiot. His forehead twitched and he finally explained calmly.

“This is ureyite jade.”

When Ye Linlang heard this, she felt like her jaw was going to fall off!

Such an ordinary shirt was actually made of gemstones?

She did not know much about jewelry, but Ye Linlang knew that her 16-year-old birthday gift given to her by the Song family’s Granny was jade. Although the jade Buddha was of inferior quality, it was still jade.

Ye Linlang knew that Jiang Qiran must be laughing at her for mistaking the jade for glass. She looked embarrassed and asked again humbly.

“What jade did you say just now?”

Ye Linlang scratched her head embarrassedly and her voice became weaker.

“I… I don’t know much about jewelry, so I thought this was black glass.”

This time, Jiang Qiran didn’t have any intention of teasing Ye Linlang. He calmly repeated it again.

“This is ureyite jade. Because its whole body is close to black, it is also called Mo Cui.”

Ye Linlang nodded in realization. She simply ignored that complicated name. Mo Cui was so nice to hear and easy to remember!

She reached out and pinched the black Mo Cui on her white shirt. Her watery eyes kept blinking, and her eyes were filled with curiosity.

“Since it’s an emerald, then it… should be quite expensive, right? Even if it’s missing another cufflink, wouldn’t it be a waste to throw it away like garbage?”

Jiang Qiran’s expression was indifferent.

“The purity of this ink jade isn’t high, so it’s not as valuable as you think. A few hundred is the most it will go for. Normally, valuable ink jade wouldn’t be used to make cufflinks.”

Alright, even if it wasn’t tens of thousands of yuan, a few hundred… was enough for a poor lower class like her to buy two sets of clothes!

Ye Linlang stared at the plain-colored shirt. Thinking that it was the clothes of her Prince Charming, even if Jiang Qiran had never worn it before, she still couldn’t bear to part with it.

“Since you don’t want this shirt, can you give it to me?”

Hearing Ye Linlang’s incessant chatter, Jiang Qiran pursed his lips slightly.

Ye Linlang’s soft voice rang in his ears. Jiang Qiran had always disliked chatting with others, but unexpectedly, it wasn’t that difficult to chat with Ye Linlang in the same room.

On the contrary, he even felt that he could continue chatting like this without getting bored.

His gaze swept past Ye Linlang’s slightly rough hands. He could tell that Ye Linlang was different from the rich young ladies that he was used to seeing in the past.

The palms of other girls were basically smooth and flat, but there was a thick layer of calluses on Ye Linlang’s palms.

Was that something left behind in the small desolate village in the past?

Jiang Qiran fell into deep thought.

Seeing that Jiang Qiran didn’t reply, Ye Linlang became even more nervous.

“Do… do you disagree?”

Jiang Qiran’s eyes were stained with a faint questioning.

“This is a man’s shirt. It’s useless for you to take it back. Do you think Mo Cui is rare and want to take it back for collection and wait for it to rise in value?”

“No–”

Ye Linlang was afraid that Jiang Qiran would misunderstand that she was a greedy girl, so she quickly shook her head like a rattle-drum.

“Then why?”

Facing Jiang Qiran’s handsome face, Ye Linlang realized that she couldn’t even tell a lie.

It was as if standing in front of him, her whole body was exposed to the sun, and there was nowhere to hide.

“Because… I like this shirt very much…” the owner of this shirt.

Ye Linlang barely managed to hold back those last words.

Fortunately, she didn’t say it!

Otherwise, Jiang Qiran would definitely make fun of her for being infatuated with him again!

…

Jiang Qiran sized up Ye Linlang’s slim figure, which was not much better than a bamboo pole, and his expression was full of doubt.

“Are you sure? You can’t wear it…”

Ye Linlang hurriedly hugged the shirt, as if she had snatched some treasure.

“Who said I’m going to wear this shirt? I just like the style of this shirt.”

Aren’t white shirts more or less the same?

Jiang Qiran was puzzled, but seeing that Ye Linlang liked this shirt so much, since he was not going to take it anyway, he simply gave it to Ye Linlang.

“Okay, if you want to keep it, then keep it. From now on, it’s yours.”

Ye Linlang nodded happily, and then quickly folded the shirt neatly. She asked Jiang Qiran for a bag to hold it, and then stuffed it into her schoolbag.

Seeing an object makes one miss its owner.

In the future, she could use this shirt to think of Jiang Qiran!

…

She was now wearing Jiang Qiran’s slippers, using Jiang Qiran’s bathroom, staying at Jiang Qiran’s house, and even openly taking Jiang Qiran’s clothes.

Ah, just thinking about it made her feel as if her life was complete!

No, no, no, she was just short of becoming Jiang Qiran’s girlfriend.

Ye Linlang stole a glance at Jiang Qiran, her heart filled with joy. Alright, even if she was only staying at Jiang Qiran’s house because of tutoring, it would be enough for her to be happy for a long time.

Jiang Qiran looked at Ye Linlang’s overjoyed expression and was very confused.

Are all girls so easily satisfied?

Perhaps it was because of his bad nature, Jiang Qiran could not help but want to strike Ye Linlang.

“Take out a piece of paper for spelling.”
