Chapter 174 It's Actually One (2/2)

Yan Yu didn't let Ruan Tang do anything; he quickly cleaned up the dishes himself.
When he finished washing the dishes, dried his hands, and returned to the bedroom, he found that the little girl did not become lazy as usual after eating and drinking her fill.
She was still sitting on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), her hands supporting her chin, her brows furrowed tightly, clearly still obsessing over the jade pendant.
Seeing her determined look, Yan Yu knew she wouldn't be able to take a nap today, and sighed helplessly.
Well then, his little girl deserves to be pampered by him like this, and he should make sure everything goes smoothly for her.
He walked to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), scooped up the little girl who was still deep in thought, and pulled her into his arms, letting her sit sideways on his lap, holding her firmly in his arms.
"Tangtang".
He lowered his head and gently brushed his chin against the top of her soft hair.
"Don't rush, think again. What exactly does the jade pendant that Jia Ximei wants look like?"
“I’ll draw it out for you.” He paused, then added, “Don’t you keep all your things in your space? Once it’s drawn out, we can go in and look for them; maybe we’ve missed something.”
Ruan Tang thought Yan Yu's words made sense.
She tilted her head back against his strong chest, her nose filled with his pleasant scent, and her anxiety gradually subsided.
“That jade pendant… was transparent, very clear, with what looked like flowing mist or vapor inside.” She recalled, organizing her thoughts as she spoke. “The shape was very unique; it resembled an auspicious cloud, but not quite…”
She stretched out her fair fingers and gestured haphazardly in the air.
"Look here, it looks like it's about to take flight, but the edges aren't neat... In my memory, this jade pendant feels like a container, I can't quite put my finger on what it is, but I definitely don't want to wear it..."
She herself thought the description was a mess.
But Yan Yu understood.
He didn't ask any further questions, and conjured a sketchbook and a pencil out of thin air from his own space.
This is what he usually uses to draw mechanical blueprints.
He held Ruan Tang firmly in his arms with one hand, while holding a pen in the other, his wrist steady.
The pencil made a soft "scratching" sound on the white paper.
His hand speed was fast, and his lines were precise and smooth, without the slightest hesitation.
Ruan Tang curiously leaned over to take a look.
With just one glance, her almond-shaped eyes widened instantly.
The drawing on the paper depicts a uniquely shaped jade pendant.
The main body is a graceful auspicious cloud with flowing lines, but the cloud head has an irregular groove, while the cloud tail is slightly upturned, forming a clever clasp.
This appearance is exactly the same as the one she remembers!
Absolutely perfect!
This is simply...
Ruan Tang opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything for a long time.
She only thought about it in her head and described it incoherently, how could he draw it so accurately?
She felt her head buzzing, and her heart felt like it had been hit hard by a scalding warm current, both sore and swollen.
This is no longer a matter of tacit understanding.
Through that invisible Daoist contract, he practically drilled into her mind and saw everything she saw!
Yan Yu put down his pen, handed the finished drawing to her, and asked in a low voice:
Is this it?
Ruan Tang nodded blankly, but the next second, an even colder thought popped into her head.
With a thought, the key pendant that she had kept in her spatial storage instantly appeared in her palm.
With trembling hands, she slowly, very slowly aligned the jade key pendant with the groove of the auspicious cloud on the drawing.
Perfectly fitted.
It turns out that these two jade pendants were originally one piece! (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
