[BL] Transmigrating into the Reborn Male Lead's Ex-Boyfriend

Ch79 - Nevertheless, My Boyfriend

Xiao Yuanmu left.

He left behind the key to his apartment and his jade pendant.

AD

At that time, Song Xuanhe had been getting dressed. Xiao Yuanmu had pulled his suitcase over and had grabbed his hand just as he had been doing up his belt. Before Song Xuanhe could get angry, he had put the jade pendant—which had a really ugly, manually woven rope around it—around his wrist. He said in a cool voice, "I didn't have time to buy a ring. Although this jade pendant isn't much, I can only use it in place of a ring for now."

Song Xuanhe's gaze fell onto the jade pendant around his wrist. His eyes circled the engraved "Xiao" character. The moment he had heard Xiao Yuanmu speak, he was stunned. His pupils then constricted slightly. Without any hesitation, he tried to take it off.

Xiao Yuanmu didn't tell him, but he already knew what this jade pendant meant to the Xiao Family.

In the book, Xiao Yuanmu hadn't ever given this jade pendant away. Even if he were to give it away in the future, it should have been to one of his seven pursuers. It absolutely could not be given to Song Xuanhe.

"If you take it off, we'll finish what we started earlier." Xiao Yuanmu's voice was flat, but there was a hidden, dark light in his pitch-black, difficult-to-read eyes. It was like he was really looking forward to seeing Song Xuanhe take off that jade pendant. He reminded Song Xuanhe, "I can also take another flight."

Song Xuanhe paused. He very awkwardly modified his actions to pretend that he was just carefully examining the jade pendant. When his eyes fell on the Xiao character again, he pretended to ask in a casual voice, "This jade pendant looks expensive. It even has your last name engraved on it. It must be really important to you."

In the book, the reason the Xiao Family had so quickly recognized Xiao Yuanmu and publicized his identity had been because of this jade pendant. This jade pendant was prepared for every member of the Xiao Family before they were even born. If Xiao Yuanmu didn't have this pendant, it would definitely be harder for him to be recognized.

"It's important." Xiao Yuanmu raised his hand and flashed one of the cufflinks before Song Xuanhe's eyes. "It has the same meaning as your cufflinks."

Song Xuanhe frowned. "What meaning?"

Xiao Yuanmu: "They both take the place of rings."

Song Xuanhe let go of the pendant. Xiao Yuanmu chuckled quietly and then came forward to wrap his arms around Song Xuanhe. He rested his chin on the other's shoulder. "Let me hold you for a second."

Two minutes later, he let go of Song Xuanhe when the doorbell rang. There was a trace of rasp in his cool voice. "I'm leaving now."

Yang Jie had been taken aback when he walked in and saw Song Xuanhe. He nodded at the other in greeting and then took the seemingly light suitcase from Xiao Yuanmu. Tactfully, he waited outside.

The moment he had turned around, Song Xuanhe received a text from an unknown number: It was Xiao ge's birthday yesterday. He seems really happy. I had thought that you didn't care about him and thus wouldn't prepare a gift for him. Looks like I was wrong. My attitude towards you hasn't been good in the past. I'm sorry. Also, thank you.

Song Xuanhe fell into a daze. His gaze drifted to the date and time on his phone's screen: 1:02, January 17th.

So, Xiao Yuanmu's birthday was on January 16th.

Song Xuanhe's gaze drifted from the screen to the jade pendant tied around his wrist. It then shifted to his cuffs, which were now loose since the cufflinks had been taken away. The present Yang Jie had mentioned was probably referring to the cufflinks Xiao Yuanmu had taken away.
