Chapter 207 (1/2)
Affected by the slow emotion, Scutellaria barbata also dropped its petals, rubbed the back of Xueling's hand, and cried sadly, ”Daddy ~”
Xueling touched the small bud and whispered, ”when I'm gone, you should take good care of your mother instead of me.”
Slowly, tearful eyes were whirling at him, holding his sleeve tightly.
Xueling helplessly asked, ”before I leave, can you promise me one thing?”
Slowly and vigorously nodded: ”you say, I promise you.”
”I don't want to die alone. Can I be your partner?”
Slowly with tears in her eyes, she said, ”good!”
Xueling looked at her deeply: ”really? Don't you think it's too ugly for me? Surely you will regret it in the future
”No!” Slowly he grasped his sleeve more tightly, and his tears filled eyes were eager, ”I will never regret it!”
Xueling smiles gently.
He took out a necklace with a red feather the size of a thumb at the end of the necklace.
The feather was so bright red that it even showed some dazzling gold.
”If the male of our feathered clan finds the female he likes, he will give her the most beautiful feather on his body,” Xueling put the Feather Necklace in her hand with trembling voice. ”You don't want to throw it away, OK?”
This has slowly received the feather presented by Xueling for the third time.
The first two times were rejected by her with extremely disgusting attitude. She did not know that in the feather clan, the male beast presented feathers also contained the meaning of courtship.
Slowly looking down at the red feather in his hand, he couldn't help but shed tears.
”I'm sorry, I thought you liked other people before, and all those words you said were just a joke...”
”It doesn't matter,” Xueling's smile was very pale. ”It was I who pretended to be a joke on purpose that I would let you misunderstand my mind. It's not you who are wrong. You don't need to blame yourself for it.”
With that, he frowned, as if trying to hold back the sharp pain from his body.
Slowly and quickly hold his shoulder: ”does it hurt? I'll cook the medicine for you. Wait a minute... ”
”Don't go,” Xueling took her hand. ”I want to stay with you.”
”But now you...”
”I may die later. Before that, I just want to be with you. Don't leave me alone, OK?”
Xueling, who has always been a strong force, at this time showed a bit of pleading color. He was so distressed that he nodded and agreed: ”OK, I'll stay here with you, and I won't go anywhere.”
Xueling happily laughed: ”as long as you are around, I will die without regret.”
Slowly very uncomfortable: ”you don't say such words...”
”Well, I won't say that,” Xueling changed the topic kindly. ”According to the custom of our feather clan, after receiving the feather given by the male beast, the female agrees to form a partner with the other party, and also gives a gift to the male beast. What's your gift for me?”
His eyes are full of expectation, like a simple child looking forward to a gift from Santa Claus.
Slowly, I was stunned.
Where is she going to look for a present?
She habitually touched the ring on her ring finger, and suddenly remembered that she had an ownerless contract ring. She had an idea and quickly took out the contract ring.
”Didn't you always want this ring? I'll give it to you as a present
Xueling raised his right hand with difficulty: ”can you help me put it on?”
Slowly hold his ring finger with one hand, and put the contract ring carefully with the other.
The ring automatically adjusts to the most appropriate size, and firmly sets it on his ring finger. The bony finger is more and more slender and beautiful.
