Chapter 195: Couple Earrings
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
A trendy accessories shop stood on the street. The decoration was completely different from the surrounding shops, which immediately attracted Murong Qiao’s attention.
She pulled Huo Yichen inside and saw a dazzling array of earrings all over the s.p.a.ce.
The two walls on the left and right were s.p.a.cious and bright while the warm yellow light above and the heater from the air conditioner made people subconsciously relax.
“Welcome.” The lady greeted the two of them. “I’m the shop owner. We also provide ear piercing services.”
The shop owner spoke casually. When she saw Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen walk in, she only greeted them briefly before sitting down again.
Murong Qiao looked at everything in the shop curiously. This was the first time she had come to such a shop.
Murong Qiao, who only cared about studying and working, was very different from the other girls who loved to dress up. She usually wore simple clothes and didn’t wear necklaces or other jewelry and relied on her beautiful face to support herself.
Of course, Murong Qiao’s face alone was enough to surpa.s.s everyone.
“It’s so beautiful,” Murong Qiao exclaimed.
Her gaze fell on a pair of silver earrings. There were not many decorations, only a few simple embellishments around the black diamond, but it inexplicably attracted her attention.
There were only samples placed outside. After reading the instructions at the entrance of the shop, Murong Qiao took out the pair of earrings boldly.
The deep black diamond in her palm made Murong Qiao’s skin look even fairer. It looked low-key, luxurious and mysterious.
Huo Yichen had always agreed with her taste. “It looks very compatible.”
The extreme simplicity would always move one’s heart. Murong Qiao liked this pair of earrings very much.
Ever since she saw this pair, her gaze could no longer contain any other earrings.
Murong Qiao touched her earlobe. She really wanted to buy this, but she was also a little afraid of pain. Ear piercings sounded like injections.
“The pair you’re looking at are for men,” the shop owner suddenly said from behind the two of them.
She pointed at the sample in Murong Qiao’s hand. “Although there’s no gender restriction, simple designs are usually designed for men.”
“But of course, it’s not impossible to make a pair of couple earrings for you two.” The shop owner waved her hand.
She had personally designed every pair of earrings in the shop. They were all unique. Seeing that Murong Qiao liked these earrings so much and that the two of them were good-looking, she said it very generously.
“Couple earrings?” Murong Qiao’s eyes widened.
She realized that her face had turned even redder after hearing her words. She stole a glance at Huo Yichen and happened to see him looking at her.
It was impossible not to be tempted. Murong Qiao belatedly recalled that the two of them had not bought anything as a couple during their relationship.
The shop owner’s words pierced her heart.
“Couple earrings then.” Huo Yichen could tell that she was tempted and helped her make up her mind.
“Alright.” The shop owner agreed with a smile. “The earring will be ready in twenty minutes. Shall 1 bring the two of you to pierce your ears first?”
The two of them agreed.
The owner looked very professional and was surprisingly efficient. In about half an hour, the two of them were able to put on the newly made earrings.
They both wore the earrings on their left ears. Murong Qiao had a smaller one on her ear, and Huo Yichen’s earring was slightly bigger. From a glance, it was obvious that they were a couple.
“I thought it’d hurt to get pierced in the ear.” Murong Qiao touched her earlobe in surprise as she didn’t feel anything.
Huo Yichen didn’t feel much, but when he saw himself and Murong Qiao wearing the same earring in the mirror, he felt much warmer.
It was clearly just a pair of earrings, but it felt like the two of them were tied together.
The two of them then came out of the jewelry shop. The sky was completely dark, and the night market had officially begun.
Murong Qiao slowly heaved a sigh of relief. Looking at the white fog drifting away, she couldn’t help but stretch although she didn’t feel tired after walking around.
Unfortunately, the delicacies in front of her couldn’t enter her stomach anymore. After walking around just now, Murong Qiao’s stomach was very full.
“Let’s go and digest our food.” Huo Yichen held her hand. “I remember there’s an amus.e.m.e.nt park nearby.”
Huo Yichen was well-prepared. When Murong Qiao first invited him to the night market, he had already done his research on the entertainment facilities nearby.
Murong Qiao’s eyes lit up when she heard about the amus.e.m.e.nt park and many rides appeared in her mind.
During Christmas, the business of the amus.e.m.e.nt park became unprecedentedly good, especially at night, as proven by the long queues.
The two of them pa.s.sed through the night market and arrived at the entrance of the amus.e.m.e.nt park. Murong Qiao saw the tallest building at first glance and the dreamy Ferris wheel that was standing in the middle of the entire amus.e.m.e.nt park, announcing its existence to every pedestrian.
Then, she looked at the bustling scene at the gate. Many young couples had come here. There was a long line, so long that one couldn’t help but sigh.
“What are you worried about? I’ve already prepared the tickets.” Huo Yichen knocked her head.
Before leaving today, Huo Yichen had considered the possibility of long queues at the amus.e.m.e.nt park, so he had arranged for someone to buy two tickets for him in advance.
It was then when Murong Qiao finally came back to her senses and followed him into the express queue in surprise.
Many envious gazes fell on the two of them. A girl in the queue immediately lost her temper and asked her boyfriend why he hadn’t thought about buying tickets in advance.
Of course, this had nothing to do with Murong Qiao. After she and Huo Yichen entered, they followed the staff into the amus.e.m.e.nt park. The first thing they saw was the pendulum.
“Ahhh—”
The exclamation came from above, exciting Murong Qiao even more.
Murong Qiao’s interest was piqued as she dragged Huo Yichen to the pendulum.
The two of them happened to be at the end of this round and found two seats to sit down.
“The feeling of falling from a high alt.i.tude is very stimulating for some people. There is an emergency b.u.t.ton on everyone’s right hand. If you feel unwell, please immediately…”
After the staff member shouted through the loudspeaker and confirmed that everyone was fine, he pressed the start b.u.t.ton.
“Huo Yichen —” Murong Qiao widened her eyes and shouted excitedly.
As their speed increased, Murong Qiao felt like she was about to fly out.
She gripped the protective pole in front of her chest tightly.
Huo Yichen was also a little smug, but he had been paying attention to Murong Qiao the entire time. Seeing that she was so happy, he smiled.
“Ah—” Murong Qiao shouted happily.
It was as if by doing so, the unpleasant emotions in her heart would fly away and disappear, making her feel much more relaxed.
Seeing Murong Qiao like this, Huo Yichen followed suit.
Huo Yichen didn’t know if it was an illusion, but it seemed to be working. He felt relaxed and even forgot the clamor of his family disputes.
As he floated higher, he felt that he had also become empty, like a wooden bucket swaying. There were many things swinging out, but the love hidden under the bucket was always there.
That spot belonged to Murong Qiao.
The angle of the swing gradually decreased, and the ride was over. Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen then got up from their seats and left.
“I feel like I’m stepping on cotton…” Murong Qiao said as she shook her head.
As soon as she got off the pendulum, she felt as if her feet weren’t on solid ground. She leaned against Huo Yichen and walked unsteadily..
