Chapter 2979 He didn't have that guts
As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Lin noticed the several new items that her aunt was carrying.
The new goods seemed to have just arrived at the store; the packaging still bore the marks of transportation and had not yet been sorted or placed on the counter for display.
Charlene's gaze lingered among them, finally settling on a uniquely designed necklace.
It is a pendant inspired by flames, with smooth and bold lines that shimmer with a metallic luster under the light, making it particularly eye-catching.
For some reason, with just that one glance, Xia Lin felt that the necklace was exceptionally well-matched with Shi Ye's temperament, as if it had been tailor-made for him.
She spoke almost instinctively, "Auntie, may I take a look at this necklace?"
Upon hearing this, the shop owner raised an eyebrow, a meaningful smile appearing on her face.
As she handed the necklace over, she reminded her, "This is a men's style, you know."
Charlene felt a sudden embarrassment and replied softly, "Yes, I can tell."
The shop owner seemed to read her mind, and with a hint of teasing in her tone, she said with a smile, "No boyfriend? Looks like you'll have one soon?"
Her ears involuntarily turned red, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond. She could only reach out her hand in a slightly flustered manner, gesturing for the aunt to hand her the necklace.
Seeing this, the shop owner's smile deepened.
However, he didn't continue joking and quickly placed the necklace gently in Charlene's hand.
After taking it, Charlene examined it carefully and found it to be very beautiful and well-designed.
The bronze color on the outside looks particularly cool, understated yet tasteful, and the overall style is simple yet exudes a sense of sophistication.
The more she looked at it, the more she felt that this design was a perfect match for Shi Ye's calm yet unruly temperament.
Although I thought this way, I couldn't help but hesitate.
I don't know if I can actually send it out.
Charlene hadn't really thought much about it, but she just really wanted to buy it.
Marcy had already made her selections and was walking over when she happened to see the items in Charlene's hands.
She noticed at a glance Xia Lin's focused yet slightly shy expression.
She couldn't help but chuckle, teasing softly, "It looks pretty good. I think Shi Ye-ge would really like this style, right?"
Charlene's ears burned, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she hurriedly explained, "I... I didn't say I was going to give it to him."
Seeing this, Marcy laughed even harder and continued to tease her: "If you're not going to give it to him, then who are you going to give it to?"
Could it be my son, Ah Si?
Charlene chuckled, "How could I dare! Even if I offered it, my senior might not accept it. He'd definitely only accept gifts from you!"
Zhou Si raised an eyebrow, neither objecting nor acknowledging Xia Lin's statement.
Marcy smiled sweetly, her eyes filled with happiness.
She playfully added, "He doesn't have the guts either."
Charlene was immediately at a loss for words, and pretended to complain, "You came all this way, you didn't come here on purpose just to show off your love to me, did you?"
Marcy retorted with a smile, "Yeah, I did it on purpose, so what?"
"Well, you really don't care about other people's feelings."
As she spoke, Charlene immediately reached out to tickle her, and the two of them started laughing and joking around the store.
Zhou Si walked to the counter and settled the bill.
Xia Lin saw this and quickly stopped him, "Senior, I can pay for this myself."
Zhou Si nodded in agreement.
After all, it's a gift for someone you like, so buying the gift yourself shows more sincerity.
After a while, the group left the shop.
They strolled around the nearby streets, enjoying the scenery, chatting, and savoring their rare leisure time.
After that, I went home.
Grandpa and Grandma are warm and hospitable people. They had already heard about Marcy from their granddaughter.
Therefore, I have a very good impression of this friend who often accompanies his granddaughter at school.
To properly entertain the two young people, they spent most of the day preparing a sumptuous home-style meal.
During the meal, the grandparents kept putting food on the two children's plates, saying kindly, "Make yourselves at home, don't be shy."
My little granddaughter is at school, and thanks to all of you kind friends, she's been taking such good care of her. Thank you so much!
Marcy quickly put down her chopsticks and replied sincerely, "Grandpa and Grandma, you're too kind. We're good friends, and it's only right that we take care of each other."
The two elderly people smiled and nodded repeatedly.
Lunch was held in a pleasant atmosphere, with everyone chatting and eating together in a very harmonious manner.
After finishing their meal, the group was chatting and drinking tea when suddenly the neighbor's child ran over, peered through the door frame, and said, "Sister, shall we go to the river to catch fish and pick wild fruit this afternoon?"
In the evening, you can even grill fish in the yard!
Then, noticing the injury on Charlene's hand, he kindly added, "It's okay if your hand is injured, sister, I can help you catch fish!"
Charlene turned to Marcy and asked, "Do you want to come along?"
When Marcy heard that it was such a fun thing, her eyes lit up immediately, and she excitedly agreed.
Zhou Si, his face full of indulgence, accompanied her.
Upon arriving at the creek, Marcy enthusiastically rolled up her sleeves and trouser legs, and together with several children, stepped into the clear creek.
Zhou Si stood to the side, unable to resist reminding her to be careful, his tone filled with concern.
Marcy, however, was overjoyed and excitedly replied, "Don't worry, I used to do this all the time when I was little. I'm also a very good swimmer, nothing will happen."
Come down quickly, it's really fun!
Looking at her lively appearance, Zhou Si could only smile helplessly and agree, "Okay, I'll go with you."
As for Charlene, being a person with a disability, she is unable to move around in the water like them.
She could only sit quietly on the rocks by the stream, soaking her feet in the cool water.
Those kids were indeed skilled at catching fish; their movements were practiced and their catch was quite good.
Surprisingly, Marcy's fishing haul was extremely successful.
Her graceful and agile figure moved swiftly through the water, as if she were one with it, even more agile and free than the fish.
She nimbly reached out and, in no time, scooped up a lively, wriggling fish.
By the end of the afternoon, they had already collected about half a bucket of fish.
The neighbor's children were stunned. They all gathered around, their eyes shining with admiration, and kept praising, "Sister, you're so amazing!"
Marcy stood proudly with her hands on her hips, beaming, and didn't forget to raise an eyebrow at her fiancé.
Looking at her smug expression, Zhou Si couldn't help but chuckle and added, "You're really impressive."
Charlene thought the scene was really nice.
So she took out her phone and took a picture of the two of them.
At this moment, the sun was setting, and the evening glow on the mountaintop was fiery red, dyeing half the sky crimson.
A beautiful couple in the stream smiled at each other under the brilliant sunset, the whole scene as beautiful as a rich oil painting.
