Jing Li cast a contemptuous glance at Jing Ran, casually picked up the female ring of the couple’s ring and slid it onto the ring finger of her left hand. She spread out her fingers and looked at the silver ring, which was adorned with two or three water diamonds, especially liking the shiny things.

The shop owner finished his task and walked over to the couple to introduce, “This is the best-selling couple’s ring in the store. Today, on 520, we have a promotion: buy a couple’s ring and get a pair of couple’s earrings for free.”

Jing Li raised her head and asked curiously, “What do the earrings look like?”

The shop owner opened a nearby glass case and took out a one-foot-wide display box containing about five or six pairs of earrings, each with two pairs. Jing Li picked out a pair of silver earrings, a simple “J” shape.

Both her and Jing Ran’s last name starts with “J,” she felt it was destined.

“Ranran, what do you think about these two pairs of earrings?” Jing Li pointed to the earrings she had chosen and asked.

Jing Ran replied, “I don’t have pierced ears.”

The shop owner interjected, “We also offer ear-piercing services here.”

Jing Li raised her head and looked at Jing Ran, blinked and said expectantly: “Let’s get your ears pierced.”

Jing Ran remembered how his little cousin had been in pain and fever after getting her ears pierced for a few days and nights. He raised his hands and pinched his earlobes, as if afraid of being forced, “No, I won’t do it.”

Jing Li retorted with a single word, “Coward!”

The shop owner could see that Jing Ran looked afraid, so he explained, “We offer painless ear-piercing services. It doesn’t hurt at all.”

“It’s painless, just do it.” It’s rare to come across such nice earrings, it would be a shame not to wear them.

Jing Ran still pinched his ears, pursed his lips, and shook his head.

The little prince was acting cute again, and Jing Li didn’t want to insist, so she picked up the male ring and handed it to him, saying, “Try this one to see if the size fits.”

Jing Ran picked up the male ring and put it on his ring finger. The design of the male ring was simpler, a silver ring with some engravings.

The shop owner, seeing their student-like appearance, explained, “For couples, it’s more suitable to wear it on the middle finger of the left hand. Wearing it on the ring finger symbolizes marriage.”

Jing Li felt a bit awkward, so she moved the ring from her ring finger to her middle finger.

Suddenly, Jing Ran blurted out, “I think it’s great. This way, people will think you’re married and won’t come confess to you.”

Jing Li glared at him and said, “You wish! You have a wife before even proposing!”

Jing Ran looked thoughtful after listening to her words.

After the two of them tried on the rings, they settled the bill.

The shop owner packed the couple’s rings in a ring box and also gave them two pairs of “J” letter earrings.

Jing Li asked again, “Ranran, you really don’t want earrings?”

Jing Ran shook his head.

Jing Li has been really into couple items lately, like matching clothes, shoes, rings, and even water bottles. Whenever she sees something cute, she wants to share it with Jing Ran.

Suddenly, she really wants to get matching earrings with her boyfriend…

“Ranran…” Jing Li called out, saying, “Bend down, I have something to tell you.”

Jing Ran leaned in, bringing his ear close to hers.

Jing Li whispered something to him, and both of them blushed.

Jing Li asked, “How is it, is it good?”

Jing Ran nodded.

Jing Li turned to the shop owner and greeted, “Boss, pierce my boyfriend’s ears for me.”

The shop owner asked Jing Ran to sit on a chair and then went into a small room to get the tools. She first sterilized Jing Ran’s earlobes with alcohol-soaked cotton, then drew two dots with a pen on his earlobes. She asked, holding up a mirror, “Is this position okay?”

Jing Ran didn’t understand this kind of thing, so he looked at Jing Li. Jing Li glanced at it and replied, “It’s okay!”

“Click!”

The shop owner used a small piercing gun to pierce Jing Ran’s earlobes, and the medical steel earrings were fixed on the earlobe. Jing Ran felt something different, like he was bitten by a mosquito, and it was a bit itchy.

After getting two ear piercings, the shop owner cleaned up and instructed, “For the first few days, don’t let the wounds touch water. Clean them with disinfectant and occasionally rotate the earrings. You can change to new earrings after a week…”

Jing Ran listened carefully to the shop owner’s words, remembered, and nodded.

After leaving the boutique, Jing Li added, “Ranran, let me tell you, for this week, you can’t eat eggs, seafood, or anything that causes internal heat. Otherwise, the wounds will have a hard time healing…”

“Okay.” Jing Ran nodded and asked, “Was what you just told me true?”

Blushing, Jing Li looked at him and said, “Of course it’s true, when have I ever lied to you?”

After thinking for a moment, Jing Ran realized that Jing Li had indeed never broken a promise with him. He asked, “So where are we sleeping tonight?”

Jing Li glanced at the time on her phone. It was only a little after three in the afternoon. “You’re already thinking about sleeping at this time?”

Jing Li and Jing Ran strolled around the nearby commercial district and reached a street filled with fresh flowers. There were over ten flower shops on this less than thirty-meter-long street. Due to Valentine’s Day, the flower shops had arranged bouquets of fresh flowers in front of their stores for couples to quickly purchase.

“Lili, wait for me.” Jing Ran said before running into a flower shop.

Jing Li watched as he pointed to a bouquet of flowers and inquired with the shop owner about the price. He quickly paid, received change, and came back holding a bunch of pink roses.

“Lili, this is for you.” Jing Ran handed the pink roses to Jing Li.

Jing Li was surprised that the clueless little prince knew to give flowers for Valentine’s Day. She smiled and accepted them, saying, “Thank you.”

It’s a total of 11 roses, representing the meaning of loving only one person for a lifetime.

In front of the flower shop, there are many bouquets of red roses, but I don’t know why Jing Ran chose pink ones. She asked, “Why did you choose pink roses?”

Jing Ran raised his hand to scratch the back of his head and replied, “First love!”

Jing Li blushed and smiled, feeling amazed by him. She held the bouquet in one hand and linked arms with Jing Ran, saying, “Let’s go, first love!”

The two continued to stroll through the commercial district, discussing where to eat and which hotel to stay at.

Jing Ran’s phone rang, and he answered, “Mom… near Guhui… Oh, I’ll ask.” He moved the phone away from his ear and asked Jing Li, “My mom wants us to go home for dinner tonight.”

Jing Li asked, “Your home? Your parents’ home?”

Jing Ran nodded.

Jing Li looked at her clothes and felt they were appropriate. She raised her head and said to Jing Ran, “Okay.”

Jing Ran put the phone back to his ear and said, “We’ll go back later.”

After hanging up, Jing Ran put away his phone. Jing Li started to worry about what to bring to Jing Ran’s home. Last time, Jing Ran brought many valuable supplements and dry goods when he visited her home. Jing’s mother gave Jing Li some money to buy good things when visiting Jing Ran’s family.

Jing Li began to fret. Why didn’t her mother give an example of what good things to buy?

Jing Li quickly composed a WeChat message to her mother.

Jasmine: [Mother, mother, what should I buy when meeting Ranran’s parents?]

A few minutes later, Jing Li didn’t receive a reply from her mother.

Jing Li realized she was being foolish. During this time, her parents were in the process of returning to the United States to renew their documents and were not in the same time zone! According to San Francisco time, they would be asleep right now! Jing Li had no choice but to ask for Jing Ran’s opinion: “Ranran, what should I buy to bring to your home?”

“Buy something?” Jing Ran replied, “There’s no need, we’re just going home for dinner, no need to bring anything.”

Jing Li: “…” Then why did you bring so many things to my home last time?

In the end, Jing Li went back to the upscale supermarket in the Guhui shopping mall and bought a box of very expensive tea, along with two bottles of fruit wine.

When Jing Li went to Jing Ran’s home, she found out that he did not return to the Li District but was in the Zhucheng area. Unlike the Li District, which preserved a large number of buildings from the Republic of China era, Zhucheng was filled with towering office buildings. Each new building broke the record for the tallest building in the city. There were also many high-end communities. Jing Li followed Jing Ran to a certain community in Zhucheng, passing by a real estate agency with an advertisement that read “60,000 per square meter in a certain community in Zhucheng.”

The average housing price in G City is 20,000-30,000 per square meter, and the price in this community is twice that of the market. Jing Li did a quick calculation, if it’s 100 square meters, it would be 6 million?

Jing Li asked, “Ranran, is your home here? Didn’t you say last time that your home was near your grandmother’s house?”

Jing Ran replied, “My parents live here, and the house near my grandmother’s is where I live.”

Jing Li: “Where is your house located?”

Jing Ran replied, “Yujing.”

In Jing Li’s mind, she searched and found that it seems to be a property located by the river in the Li District. She saw it near grandma’s house through a real estate agent, and it seems to be priced at 80,000 to 100,000 yuan per square meter.

A house worth millions in minutes?

Jing Li asked in a confused manner, “Ranran, your dad is just a hotel manager. How does he have so much money to buy a house?”

Jing Ran looked at Jing Li, blinked, and said, “If you manage well, you can earn a lot of money.”

Jing Li’s parents, who are high-level executives in a foreign company, earn only a million yuan a year. If they want to buy a house worth millions, they would have to save up for ten years without eating or drinking. She couldn’t believe that someone in a hotel management position could afford two houses worth millions. She asked, “What is your dad’s position?”

“My dad is the general manager, working for my grandfather,” Jing Ran replied.

Jing Li couldn’t believe it and asked, “Is your grandfather the chairman of Haiyue?”

Jing Ran nodded.

“Mr. Jing Daying that the professor often mentions?”

Jing Ran nodded again.

Jing Li clutched her stomach and said with a painful look on her face “Ranran, I don’t feel well with you holding that thing. I want to go back to school.”

Just as Jing Li was about to turn around and escape, Jing Ran reached out his long arm, hooked her waist, and pulled her back into his arms.

Jing Ran didn’t give any face: “Lili’s acting skills are so bad…”

Jing Li was seen through by the little princess, with a displeased expression, blaming him: “Why didn’t you tell me that your family is so rich, and your grandfather owns a chain of five-star hotels?”

Jing Li remembered the last time she came back from playing at the beach, she followed Jing Ran’s grandparents and grandmother to have a meal, feeling too rude!

She has already imagined some melodramatic TV drama scenes, such as an outstanding son bringing an ordinary girl home, and the wealthy mother causing various troubles for the girl, even insulting her with money and making her leave the male lead.

She wonder how much money Ranran’s mother would offer to make her leave Ranran?

Oh, it seems like she went off topic…
