After learning how to make it, Mian Mian and Qian Xiao Guo left. On the way, Jiang Mian Mian received a call from Yun Bu Ji, asking where she was, as he hadn't seen her after school.
"Xiao Guo and I went shopping. We came out right after school, so you didn't see me," Mian Mian thought about the gift she was making for him, and her heart felt a little sweet.
"Buying what? Where are you buying it?" Yun Bu Ji was concerned about her safety. The situation at school had been a bit complicated recently, and he worried that Jiang Mian Mian wandering around might be dangerous.
"A mall. We've finished buying, and we're on our way home," Mian Mian said with a smile.
"Okay, then go home early and send me a message when you get there," Yun Bu Ji instructed her.
After hanging up the phone, Mian Mian felt that Yun Bu Ji was a bit strange. Why was he telling her to go home early?
In order to make the gift for him, Mian Mian didn't go to find her mother. Instead, she went back to her own home. Upon arriving, she didn't even eat dinner. She locked herself in her room to make the necklace for Yun Bu Ji.
Mian Mian was very clever, but unfortunately, her hands were clumsy. She had seemed to learn how to make it in the store, but when she got home, she couldn't quite manage it. So, she found a video tutorial and started watching and learning again. After about ten minutes of learning, she felt confident enough to start weaving. Then, when she finished the whole thing... the knots were uneven, some loose and some tight. It just wasn't very uniform. Although it didn't look too bad from afar, it was just a black cord, but Mian Mian felt it was awkward.
So, she cut it open and started again. She repeated the process several times. In the middle, she was called down for dinner once and returned to continue. It wasn't until past eleven o'clock that she was still working on it. She even told Yun Bu Ji she didn't have time to help him with his homework when he sent her a problem.
Just before midnight, she finally finished it!
This time, it looked much more pleasing to the eye.
Mian Mian looked at the obsidian necklace, adorned on both sides with several types of mineral crystals, mostly in dark colors, which made it look more uniform. However, she felt something was missing. Finally, Mian Mian found two gold fortune beads in her drawer and used them at the bottom of the adjustable cord.
By the end, she was finally satisfied. She tried it on herself and felt it was very beautiful, thinking her taste was excellent.
So, she rummaged through her drawer for a long time to find a box, put the necklace in it, and planned to give it to him when she had the chance.
Seeing that it was too late, she immediately went to take a bath and sleep, not even seeing the message Yun Bu Ji had sent.
Mian Mian fell asleep, but Yun Bu Ji couldn't sleep at all. Not having received a reply from Jiang Mian Mian, he even suspected that something had happened to her.
So, he called her, but Mian Mian slept with her phone on silent, so no matter how many times he called, she couldn't hear it.
In the end, Yun Bu Ji didn't sleep all night.
When Mian Mian woke up, she saw that Yun Bu Ji had called several times. Thinking something must have happened, she immediately called him back.
"Yun Bu Ji, what's wrong?" Mian Mian gripped her phone nervously.
"Are you just waking up?" Yun Bu Ji was finally relieved when he heard her voice.
"Yes, I just woke up... Why did you call last night?" Mian Mian asked with a frown.
"Uh, I just wanted to ask you about your homework. Seeing that you wouldn't help me, I was anxious, so I called. Nothing else," Yun Bu Ji said, grabbing his hair and making an excuse.
"Really?" Mian Mian clearly didn't quite believe him.
"Really. Hurry up and get up to wash and get ready, or you'll be late for school," Yun Bu Ji urged her to get ready.
"Okay, Yun Bu Ji, are you free tonight? I need to talk to you about something." Mian Mian wanted to give him the gift as quickly as possible.
