759 The dowry
“Big brother, is that you?”
In her dream, Xia Ning saw Xia ping ‘an again and she became excited.
The scene in the dream was the room that the siblings rented in Xiang He city. Everything in the room was the same as before. Although poor, it was full of warmth. In the living room, there were a few oil paintings by Xia Ning. The Golden sunlight shone in from the window, making the house seem exceptionally peaceful in the dream.
Xia Ning didn’t know why she was here, but after she fell asleep, she opened her eyes and saw this familiar scene, as well as Xia Pingan, who was standing in front of her and smiling at her.
“You’re already a young lady, why are you still crying?”
Xia Ning was bawling her eyes out, but Xia Pingan was smiling. Just like before, he reached out his hand and rubbed Xia Ning’s hair affectionately.
brother, don’t go. Let’s go back to Xiang He. I don’t want anything. I don’t want to learn how to draw anymore. I don’t want to be an artist anymore. I just want to be an ordinary person. Don’t leave me, Yingluo. Xia Ning cried as she hugged Xia Pingan tightly. Even in her dreams, she couldn’t bear to part with this moment of warmth.
silly girl, I’ve never left you, Yingluo, ” Xia Pingan said to Xia Ning. it’s just that my situation is very special. It’s hard to explain it to you in such a short time. You’re in a dream right now, and it’s best for me to meet you in a dream. I know you’re worried about me, but what I want to tell you is that you don’t have to worry about me. Your brother is more powerful than anyone else now. I can take good care of myself, and you have to take good care of yourself too. That way, I won’t have to worry about you!
don’t worry, brother. I’ll take good care of Yingluo. Xia Ning was still hugging Xia Pingan tightly and buried her head in his chest. are you really okay? ”
“Of course, you don’t have to go around and ask about me. I’m doing very well on a top-secret mission, or else I wouldn’t be able to meet you in my dreams. Although that Wang tongqing is a little weak, he’s quite reliable, and he’s barely qualified to be my brother-in-law. If he dares to bully you in the future, you can tell the old man, and the old man will give him a good beating.”
ah, you know he’s mumbling. even in her dream, Xia Ning still felt an inexplicable shock.
“Of course, I’ve told you that I’ve never left you. I’m very happy to see you have your own life. You should also have your own life, career and family. However, for your safety, you’d better not let others know that I can still contact you. Otherwise, it’s not good for you and the people around you. Am I clear?”
Xia Ning nodded and stammered,
I’ll ask someone to send you a gift. After you get up tomorrow morning, go to white bird café on the street downstairs. In private Room No. 7 of the café, there are white roses on the table. There’s a man who will give you my gift. Take it as your dowry and gift from me!
“Brother, what’s that?”
“You’ll know when you get there, Yingluo.”
......
Xia Ning didn’t know when she had woken up. When she woke up, she realized that her pillow was a little wet. She looked at the alarm clock by the bed and saw that it was pointing at 7:40.
“He ran ran, is he okay?” Xia Ning’s voice trembled a little and tears were already flowing out of her eyes.
“He’s very good, much better than you think!”
“Then why didn’t he come?”
because he can’t always be by your side to protect you. The world he’s facing is more complex than you can imagine. Keeping an appropriate distance from you is actually a kind of protection for you!
“What did he ask you to bring me?”
“Let’s sit down and talk, Yingluo.”
Xia Ning nodded, walked over, and sat down. Xia Pingan walked over as well. With a gentle wave of her hand, a box appeared on the table. The box opened and inside was a set of exquisite and luxurious jewelry. The jewelry was divided into six pieces: a ring, two bracelets, a necklace, and two brooches.
The jewelries were made of gold and silver, inlaid with diamonds and emeralds, which looked pretty delicate and luxurious. However, what was special about them was not their raw materials, but their shapes. The ring was a small snake inlaid with diamonds; the two bracelets were snake-shaped; each bracelet was made of a gold snake and a silver snake; the necklace was like an angel’s unfolded wing; the two brooches were butterfly-shaped and Spider-shaped respectively.
“What are these things?” Xia Ning was stunned. She did not expect to see some jewelry.
prick your finger and drip a drop of blood on each piece of jewelry. Then, you’ll know, Yingluo, ” Xia Pingan said as he handed over a silver needle.
Xia Ning glanced at Xia ping ‘an and took the silver needle. After a slight hesitation, she pricked her finger and let her blood drip onto the six pieces of jewelry.
As her blood dripped down, Xia Ning’s heart skipped a beat. She saw that her blood was absorbed by the six pieces of jewelry in the blink of an eye. She thought that she was seeing things. How could metals and gems possibly absorb blood? however, the next second, she saw the butterfly-shaped brooch fly up like a butterfly and land on her clothes in front of her chest. She then pinned it on herself.
The spider-shaped brooch also quickly crawled over and burrowed into her clothes.
The gold and silver Snakes on the two bracelets moved as well. After they separated, they quickly slithered around and climbed onto Xia Ning’s wrists, wrapping themselves back into the bracelet.
The necklace that looked like an angel’s wing opened up and fell on Xia Ning’s neck, then gently closed.
...
Xia Ning was extremely shocked. Even though she had some understanding of the profession of a Summoner, she had never seen or heard of these things before. However, as soon as those things came close to her, Xia Ning felt at ease. It was a warm feeling of being protected. This feeling was as if Xia Pingan was by her side.
from today onwards, you are the owner of these things. These things were created by the person who asked me to come here using a secret method. In the future, no matter where you go, as long as you carry any of these things with you, they will protect you, Yingluo, ” Xia Pingan said. With a move of his hand, he had already taken out a bank card. this bank card is made under your name. There are two billion euros in it. It is the dowry that person gave you. He wants you to live well, Yingluo.”
Looking at these things, Xia Ning couldn’t hold it in anymore. Like a little girl, she burst into tears and cried.
