The fishing boat returned to the port, and Klein sat in the cabin in a daze.

Dick came in and kicked him, and asked, "What's the matter with you these two days? You're out of your mind."

"Ok?"

"Here it goes again," Dick rolled his eyes, "I said, why have you been out of your mind recently, has something happened to you?"

Klein finally came back to his senses, his eyes focused on Dick, he lowered his head and stroked his thumb, thinking: It's not that something happened, but someone.

After that day, Klein didn't dare to show his face in front of Sweet for several days.

In fact, his movements are very light and fast, and Sweet may not have noticed, but he has a ghost in his heart, and he only dares to go to the yard to water, weed and fertilize the flower beds every day when Sweet has not gotten up or is already resting. .

Klein didn't understand what he was hiding, didn't he just touch his wrist?

"Dick, hold out your hand," he said suddenly and without end.

Dick stretched out his hand inexplicably, and Klein grabbed his wrist, squeezed it hard a few times, and then stroked it lightly.

Dick asked in bewilderment, "What are you doing?"

Klein asked, "Do you think it's strange?"

Dick wondered, "Why?"

Klein: "..."

Klein let go of Dick's hand, leaned back against the bulkhead in a relaxed manner, and thought to himself: Yes, Sweet, like Dick, is both a man and not a little girl, so there's nothing strange about it.

There was still a voice in his heart clamoring for the difference, but Klein really couldn't figure out where the difference was, so he had to ignore it.

When the fishing boat docked, Klein and Dick disembarked to help unload the cargo.

Klein still got a basket of fish, and Dick proposed to go to his house for dinner, and the two walked back together.

When he reached the fork in the road, he happened to meet Butler Parton.

Dick elbowed Klein and said, "That old man seems to come from your house."

Butler Patton got closer and closer, Klein was startled, and went up to meet him and asked, "Mr. Butler, have you gone to my house?"

Butler Parton put his hands properly at the trouser line on both sides, bowed his body, and said, "Yes. Master you like the bracelet very much, so I specially asked me to bring a gift to Master Klein."

Klein: "I just did it casually, and I don't want to return the gift."

Butler Patton: "This is the young master's wish, please don't refuse."

Dick scoffed beside him, "What do you mind about accepting gifts?"

Butler Patton bowed again with a smile, and said, "I'm going back to prepare dinner for the young master, so I won't disturb the two young masters."

Called the young master, Dick laughed exaggeratedly. Klein hurriedly said goodbye to Butler Patton, and dragged Dick to the house.

Dick glanced at Klein and joked, "Master Klein, when did you get so familiar with that old man?"

The last time Dick was interrupted, this time the old and new things were asked together: "And ran to help them plant flowers, Lisa asked you to help her plant some flowers last time, why didn't you go?"

"It's not like Lisa doesn't know how to grow flowers, and her home is in the town, how can I have time to run back and forth?"

Klein was confident: "Sweet lives next door to me, shouldn't neighbors help each other?"

His face was calm, and Dick couldn't see anything tricky, so he hummed twice and said, "That's true."

Klein breathed a sigh of relief, and then he heard Dick say, "What is a bracelet?"

"He gave me a gift, and I couldn't accept it for nothing, so I made a bracelet as a gift."

Dick asked again why the bracelet was given away, Klein concealed the matter of the pearls, reversed cause and effect, and finally fooled him.

While speaking, Klein took Dick back to the small courtyard where he lived with his grandfather, and saw the gift from Butler Parton.

It was a silver ring inlaid with emeralds, and the color of the emeralds was very similar to Klein's eyes.

Dick was envious of Klein receiving such a gift, but hated the Newman family, so he said awkwardly, "It's quite generous."

Klein echoed guiltyly, looked at the ring in his palm for a long time, and asked, "Do you think he and I are friends?"

Dick said: "You all give each other gifts, aren't you considered friends? If I had known, I would also plant flowers for him, so I could cheat some gifts back."

The meaning revealed in Dick's words made Klein a little annoyed: "I didn't plant flowers for him in return for a gift."

"Okay, okay, the friendship between the two of you is earth-shattering, love is stronger than gold!" Dick said enviously: "You really like the new and dislike the old, and you are also friends, why don't you give me a gift?"

Klein was surprised: "Is there anything you lack? Otherwise, I'll plant flowers for you too?"

In the past few years, Dick's family has owned several fishing boats and is one of the wealthiest families in this area of ​​Paloy Harbor, just like a small landowner.

He snorted coldly, stroked Klein's hair, and said, "I don't like that stuffy thing, you should go fishing and save money to buy your fishing boat."

Bicolor flowers sprouted.

On the day when the buds broke through the ground, Klein walked around the flower bed more than a dozen times, observing the newly grown seedlings from all angles.

The tree elf in the elf flower shop said that after the two-color flowers germinated and sprouted flower seedlings, they can fertilize. Klein picked a day to go to the town to buy flower fertilizer.

When he came out of the fairy flower shop with the flower fertilizer, he saw Sweet standing in front of a booth, holding something, but Butler Patton was not by his side.

In this busy city, Sweet is like a pearl dropped in the mud, exuding a warm luster all over her body, it's hard for people not to notice it.

Pedestrians around looked back one after another, and a dirty beggar followed him quietly across the street—it was a habitual thief in the town, who specialized in stealing money and valuables from outsiders.

How could Butler Patton let Sweet come out by himself?

Klein quickly walked across the street towards the side.

"You have a good eye. This is the best jade fished out of a shipwreck at the bottom of the sea! It comes from the east! I only have it in the whole street. It only costs three gold coins. If you miss it, you will lose it!"

When Klein approached, he heard the peddler on the street bragging.

What Sweet is holding is a piece of white jade, which is of good quality, but there are jade mines in surrounding countries. Jade is not valuable in the Kingdom of Havre, and it is nonsense to come from the east.

No one has ever set foot in the Eastern Secret Land, and these words are purely made up by peddlers to deceive people like Sweet who don't understand the market.

Sweet was about to put the jade down when the peddler's heart skipped a beat and he said quickly, "Well, I see that you like it very much. I'll give you a discount, two gold coins plus eighty silver coins, no less!"

A hand stretched out from the side and took the piece of jade from Sweet's hand. The peddler looked up and knew that something was wrong.

Klein shook the jade in his hand, and said with a smile, "This jade is worth ten copper coins at most, and you can say three gold coins?"

The peddler insisted: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't know the goods. The jade in your hand comes from the East, which is different from other jade!"

Klein: "East? Where is the East? I am a fisherman at sea. Who did you say caught it? Let me ask. If it really came from the East, can I pay you three gold coins?"

"You, if you don't buy it, don't buy it. There are people who want to buy it. How much they spend is none of your business!" the peddler said angrily.

"Others buy whoever they like, you can lie to anyone, but you are not allowed to lie to my friends!"

Klein threw the jade onto the booth, pulled Sweet and turned around, leaving the booth.
