Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

"I also have a pendant, which was also given to me by that man. He gave me two at the time. I thought they were both fake, so I just threw them into the corner of the cabinet. I haven't looked at this thing for all these years."

The young woman said this with some excitement, and at the same time reached out to take the pendant from Xu Damao's hand.

"Hey, didn't you say you were going to give this to me? Why are you taking it back now? You're not keeping your word."

Xu Damao waved his hands to avoid it and spoke to the young woman in a teasing manner.

"That's annoying! I didn't know this thing was a real gem before. Give it to me..."

"That won't do. I charge for appraisals. You have to promise me that you will wear the clothes I buy for you and pose as I say..."

"Okay...ok, I agree...give it to me."

"Here, didn't you say there were two pendants? Bring that one over here and let me see it."

"Okay, I'll get it for you."

In her heart, the young woman already regarded Xu Damao as a close friend, and she also knew that Xu Damao was a good person, otherwise she would not have had such in-depth exchanges with Xu Damao.

She took the pendant handed to her by Xu Damao without any hurry and got up to get another pendant.

Seeing the young woman twisting her slender waist to get the pendant, Xu Damao also became curious.

After a while, the young woman came over gracefully, holding an identical teardrop-shaped pendant in her hand.

However, the color of this pendant gem is much lighter than the previous one, showing a pure blue.

"Beautiful! It's really beautiful!"

Xu Damao held the two pendants in his hands and praised them repeatedly.

"This is fake, it looks just like blue glass."

"Long hair, short knowledge! This is also a kind of sapphire, these two are sea stars!, Sister, you really lost that man! Otherwise, you would definitely not live in this place now."

"So where do I live?"

"If you had married the man who gave you these two things ten or twenty years ago, you would definitely be living in a big villa now!"

"Ah! Are these two valuable?"

"Let me tell you about the price of this one. First of all, this thing is sold by carat. A pure sapphire this big a dozen years ago would have cost me fifty thousand, even if I were conservative. If you put these two together, that's a hundred thousand!"

"Sister, think about it, if a boy could spend 100,000 yuan to buy this thing for you more than ten years ago, you wouldn't be living in a big villa now!"

"Is it so expensive? I always thought it was worthless..."

The young woman was a little dazed. She was in a daze for a long time before she slowly uttered a word.

“These two things are more expensive now!”

"How much is it worth now?"

"Three times!"

"One hundred thousand times three, that means this thing is now worth three hundred thousand!"

The young woman covered her mouth in surprise, her face full of disbelief.

"Yes, that's three hundred thousand."

"You lied to me, didn't you? You said that on purpose to cheer me up and make me wear those embarrassing clothes you bought, and unlock new poses, right?"

The young woman looked as if she had seen through Xu Damao's tricks. She didn't believe that this thing was worth three hundred thousand. After all, her and her husband's combined monthly salary was only more than ten thousand. They also had to pay off their mortgage and car loans, so there would be almost nothing left after that...

Life was tight and she had a child to raise. Three hundred thousand was a huge sum of money for her, and it was the down payment for this house.

"I knew you didn't believe it, that's why I said you lost your ex-boyfriend!"

"How about this, you will be skeptical of whatever I say now, so if you don't like it, just sell these two things to me and I'll give you three hundred thousand."

"But I don't have that much money right now. Just sell me one for 150,000 yuan. I'll transfer the money on the spot! I like this thing very much. After all, such pure sapphires are rare and there are fewer and fewer of them on the market."

"Besides, why would I lie to you? We are now close friends. If you don't believe me, take this thing to a jewelry store and spend a hundred bucks to let an appraiser take a look at it. Then they will know whether what I said is true or not."

Xu Damao took out his mobile phone, as if he was ready to transfer money to the young woman.

"Okay, I believe you..."

The young woman's voice trembled a little, and the surprised expression on her face disappeared, replaced by a look of regret and guilt.

"By the way, these two pendants are like stars falling to earth. They both have a beautiful name - Ocean Star."

"Among them, the dark one is like the affectionate tears of the sea, containing endless depth; while the light one is like the crystal tears of the sky, shining with clear light."

Putting these two pendants together is like the interweaving of the tears of the sea and the tears of the sky, just like the fusion of the sky and the sea, forming a wonderful picture, which means: "My eyes are full of you! It can be seen that the boy who gave you these two pendants at that time loved you deeply..."

"Woooooooo..."

As soon as Xu Damao finished explaining, the young woman couldn't hold back any longer and cried loudly in Xu Damao's arms...

"Okay, okay, stop crying. People need to move on. Some people and some things, once lost, are lost and cannot be recovered."

"Sweetheart, at least now you know that these two things are valuable. Keep them well. If you need them in the future, you can sell them for money. This result is at least much better than you just thinking they are just big pieces of glass, right?"

"Um……"

"Also, you can't go back on your word about what to wear and what to pose!"

"You're annoying... but you really know a lot. I was too willful when I was young, so..."

"Everyone has their own impulsive moments when they are young, right? Look forward slowly. Your husband is really miserable. He works hard outside to earn money, gives his salary to you, and only keeps a little pocket money for himself. And you are cheating on him."

Xu Damao continued to tease the young woman.

"He's been out for a long time all year round, and he has to work. He has a mortgage, a car loan, and children, none of which require money. I also have physiological needs, and I can't be like a half-widow. Why don't we just keep our relationship secret from him?"

The young woman also felt very aggrieved.

"Oh, what you said makes sense. Why don't you divorce me and live with me?"

"Alas, I have come to terms with it. Seeing that there are divorced sisters around me, I still think that my first-married man is better. Besides, you may not be interested in me."

"Why do I look down on you? If I were a few years younger, I would still want to marry you. After all, my dear, your physical conditions, whether it's your appearance or your figure, are really amazing."
