Nan Feng’s heart was pounding, it felt as if it would jump out of her chest any second now.

However, she managed to restrain herself, maintaining her composure on the surface, “Then…why do you think this hairpin suits me?

I’m so ugly, even wearing a hairpin won’t enhance my appearance.

Besides, the county is huge, it can’t just be the Jewelry Store having clearance sales, right?

Maybe hats are also on sale, clothes too, and even those axes, hammers, they’re all on clearance.”

Her real intention was to hint at Nan Quanyou, to see if this hairpin was intended as a token of his affection?

But Nan Quanyou paused for a moment before asking, “Don’t you like this hairpin?

Do you prefer axes and hammers?

In that case, I can bring them back for you the next time I go to the county.”

Nan Feng couldn’t help but want to stamp her foot in frustration.

What was he trying to imply?

In such a conservative era, isn’t a man giving a woman jewelry usually a token of his affection?

Do axes and hammers count as such?

Could it be, she’d read too much into it?

She laughed awkwardly, her face no longer flushed and her heart no longer pounding, she replied, “Never mind, if you have spare time, why not take me to the county?

I’ve been wanting to borrow some books lately but our town’s bookstore doesn’t have enough selection.”

Nan Quanyou had been watching Nan Feng’s reactions all this time.

She was initially cradling the jewelry box as if it was something special, but as soon as the topic of axes and hammers came up, she nonchalantly wrapped it up and casually swung it to the side of her body as she carried it.

He thought there must’ve been a misunderstanding somewhere in their conversation.

Or perhaps she just didn’t like the hairpin.

But now that Nan Feng suggested going to the county together, he didn’t have time to delve into it and simply agreed, “Alright, if you want to go, we can go early tomorrow morning.”

Nan Feng finally smiled, “Sounds good, what time should we set off tomorrow?”

“The county is quite far, the earlier the better.

Why don’t we set off a quarter past the Hour of the Rabbit?”

“Great!”

After Nan Feng agreed, the atmosphere suddenly turned awkward.

Nan Quanyou wanted to say something to Nan Feng, but she said, “Then…see you tomorrow?”

Nan Quanyou could only respond, “See you tomorrow.”

Nan Feng left holding the package, treating it as casually as if she were carrying the water bucket, as if the two were of equal significance in her eyes.

Watching Nan Feng’s retreating figure, Nan Quanyou sighed.

He thought to himself that maybe he really didn’t understand gifting.

Nan Feng was a unique girl, what she likes would naturally be different from the rest.

Heavens knew how nervous he was when he handed over the gift, and it wasn’t just something he picked up from a clearance sale.

He’d browsed several streets and entered numerous shops before choosing it.

…

When Nan Feng got home, she set down the water bucket in the yard and immediately rushed into her room with the jewelry box, oblivious to Nan Quanyou’s call out to her.

Once inside her room, Nan Feng quickly shut the door, then combed her hair and did it up in a bun, inserting the hairpin inside it.

Looking at herself in the mirror, the simple hairpin definitely made her look much better, lifting her grace several notches.

Afterwards, she carefully removed the hairpin and put it back into the box.

The hair accessories worn by the village girls were very simple, either a hair tie or a small fabric flower.

A horn hairpin was considered a luxury item, not to mention a jade one.

If she were to wear it in public, Aqiu and the others would surely press her for details on where she bought it.

If she were to mention it was a gift from Nan Quanyou, they’d surely get the wrong idea.

She’d better wait a while before wearing it.

Once she had some money, she could simply say she bought it herself.
