051: mandarin duck, duck

Although the crowds are noisy, the scenery here is beautiful.
The Saint Virgin's Fountain in the central square is beautiful.
The drunken people were holding steaks and singing songs, a small band under the locust tree was playing cheerful tunes, and the dancers in exotic costumes were slender and graceful - they were invited to come tonight.
Those who perform at banquets take advantage of people's interest to earn some rewards.
People were immersed in a joyful atmosphere. Although Lu Ye thought this was just a release of stress, it was enough.
He and Violet were sitting on a bench under a tree on the street, holding potato balls in their hands and drinking juice.
Suddenly, with an explosion, two red light balls shot up into the sky.
People were startled by the sound and looked towards the sky in unison.
The two light balls rose to the top and suddenly exploded at the moment they were about to fall!
Brilliant fireworks burst into the night sky, but in a fleeting moment, more light spots appeared in the night sky.
Then three consecutive fireworks exploded in the night sky, and the sparks slowly hung down like the branches of a willow tree, and finally turned into red, green, purple... colorful and purple.
After a short silence, accompanied by the brisk violin sound, people began to cheer, and the long-accumulated pressure was released at this moment.
Looking at this scene, Lu Ye suddenly remembered Einstein's theory of relativity.
It's not that he suddenly realized some new scientific principle, but that he remembered those words.
This means that if you stay with a beautiful woman, you will feel that time passes very quickly, otherwise it will feel that time passes very slowly.
Beautiful things are always fleeting.
But in Violet's eyes, the time of this scene was stretched out, and the raindrops in the sky gradually became clearer.
The fireworks illuminated her pupils, which reflected the entire night sky.
"So beautiful." she said softly.
It was the best adjective she knew.
Lu Ye didn't say anything.
Of course he has seen better fireworks displays than this, so he won't be too touched.
But Violet was different. She was enjoying this scene, and her serious profile looked very cute.
Lu Ye's heart moved.
She has beautiful clothes and skirts, but Violet still lacks one thing.
--accessories.
Not to mention girls, even some boys like accessories, such as Dietfleet who hangs a big gold chain around his neck.
After a while, the fireworks ended.
Luye continued walking forward with Violet.
There are fewer and fewer stalls and mobile carts on the streets, replaced by exquisite shops and vendors selling accessories.
The atmosphere here is not as lively as that in the central square, but much calmer.
"Is there anything you want, such as a necklace or something?" Lu Ye asked.
But after walking around for a while, Violet still shook her head.
She doesn't seem interested in items like jewelry.
But when she reached that place, her steps paused.
"What do you fancy?"
"No……"
She denied it, but her eyes were very honest and kept looking in the same direction.
It was a small stall, but the glass boxes containing the goods were quite large.
It was wiped clean without a trace of dust. There was a red velvet blanket inside. Various jewelry were displayed on the blanket. There was also a white card on the back of the jewelry. The introduction of the jewelry was written on the card.
It's a marketing tool.
So Lu Ye took her to the stall.
"welcome."
An old man greeted them kindly, he must be the shop owner.
"Choose one," Luye said, "dressing up is very important for girls."
"Um……"
Violet nodded slightly.
But her eyes only lingered on one item.
Lu Ye followed her gaze and saw that it was a silver ring. Compared with other jewelry, its workmanship was not that good and its price was not expensive.
No matter how you look at it, it's just an ordinary ring.
But then he noticed that what Violet was staring at was not the ring, but the card behind the ring.
The attentive shopkeeper also noticed this and said with a smile.
"It has a name called 'Yuan'. It was the work of me when I was a young jewelry craftsman. It can't be said to be very good, but as the card says, if you wear it, you will hopefully be able to spend a lifetime with someone."
"Lifetime... does it mean from birth to death?" Violet asked.
"Yes, it was originally a pair. The other ring was called 'Yang'. I gave it to my wife when I was young."
"What does wife... mean?" Violet asked.
"Don't you know, little girl, that a wife is someone who can accompany you throughout your life?"
"What about your wife?"
"He died. He was hit by a stray bullet while running for his life during the war in the central region."
"But, you said, if you wear it, you can spend a lifetime with one person..."
"Of course, she is still with me." The store manager smiled.
"Where is it?" Violet looked around.
"Here." The store manager knocked on his chest.
"... Are you selling such an important thing?" Lu Ye asked.
"I have memories with her, that's enough." The store manager said, "And it's useless for me to keep it. If the little girl wants it, I'll give it to you cheaper."
Violet looked at the card and she could understand the words on it.
"Even if we can't be born together, I am willing to accompany you until death."
She read this text quietly and unconsciously put her hand gently on her chest.
A soft place in my heart seemed to be touched.
A certain emotion was quietly stirring, like a newborn beast, baring its teeth and claws.
Just like saying "Give it to me quickly", it is seeking something from Violet.
Not just anger, but pleading.
——That's right.
Stay with me until death.
For some people in the world, this sentence is not suffering, but romance.
"I, I want it." Violet murmured softly.
"What?"
The old man couldn't understand, because this time Violet spoke in Chinese, not to the shop owner, but to Lu Ye.
"Really, boss, please wrap it up for me."
Lu Ye nodded in greeting and handed the money to the shopkeeper.
The two left the place.
While walking on the road, the two of them were accosted by passers-by, including vendors, women, and girls who looked about the same age as Violet.
At this time, Luye would encourage her to talk to people, anything.
Although Violet didn't know anything about the clothing taste and skin care methods that the girls discussed.
But Luye could tell from her expression that she was relaxed.
When she first landed on the island, besides being fresh, Violet's body was also a little nervous.
But now it's gone. On this beautiful night, the kindness of passers-by seems to have melted away a little of her inner defenses.
Chapter completed!
