Chapter 368: Birthday Ring

"What kind of help? Why don’t you just ask Shiyuan? Anything I can help with, he can definitely help with as well."

Bai He smiled. "This matter cannot let Shiyuan know."

"Oh, you want to give him a surprise. I understand!"

"So, will you help me or not?"

Zhang Youxia understood immediately. "Tell me what it is."

Bai He leaned close to Zhang Youxia’s ear and whispered a few words.

Zhang Youxia nodded. "This is not difficult. But why do you need these things?"

"This is a secret."

"Alright, I will handle it. I will bring them to you soon. Shiyuan has something to do right now and cannot leave. He said that after he finishes dealing with it, he will come find you."

No matter where Ye Shiyuan was, he was always a busy person. "Alright, I understand."

Bai He had always felt that he was someone who knew how to consider other people’s feelings.

"I suddenly feel a little envious of Ye Shiyuan."

"Ah?"

"I wonder when I will have someone who treats me like this."

Bai He gave him his blessing. "Then I hope you can achieve what you wish for soon."

Zhang Youxia left.

Bai He sat down and picked up a Snow Peach to eat.

The taste was sweet.

There were actually Snow Peaches here as well.

Delicious.

"Host, now you know how good Ye Shiyuan is, right?"

"I already knew. Do I need you to tell me?" When had Bai He ever said that Ye Shiyuan was not good?

The reason he had refused before was only because he had complicated feelings inside his heart.

It was not because Ye Shiyuan was not good enough.

Bai He continued eating while waiting for Ye Shiyuan.

No, more accurately, he was waiting for Zhang Youxia to return with the things he needed.

...

"Host, what are you doing?"

"You can’t tell?"

Mo Zhu sat in front of Bai He and kindly reminded him, "Host, although I know what you are making, I still have to remind you of one thing. In this world, rings do not carry any special meaning."

"Really? Then why didn’t you tell me sooner?" Bai He stopped what he was doing. "I’ve almost finished making it. I can’t just decide not to give it to him now, can I?"

"Well, of course you still can. But Host, I still think it would make more sense if Ye Shiyuan is the one who give you ring."

"That doesn’t matter." As long as both people were happy, that was enough.

If he gave something to Ye Shiyuan and it made Ye Shiyuan happy, then he would be happy as well.

Why would there be any reason not to?

Besides, in Bai He’s heart, Ye Shiyuan deserved it.

"In that case, what else can I say?"

...

Ye Shiyuan hurried back after being delayed for quite some time.

His footsteps were hurried.

Because he had been absentminded throughout the day, he had already caused some dissatisfaction among the others.

However, since it was Ye Shiyuan, no one said anything.

"Master."

At some point, Bai He had fallen asleep with his head resting on the table.

Ye Shiyuan deliberately softened his movements and slowly walked over to Bai He.

Just as he was about to carry Bai He over to the bed so he could rest more comfortably, Bai He’s sharp senses picked up the movement and he immediately opened his eyes. "Shiyuan."

"Master, did I wake you?"

"No. Shiyuan, happy birthday. I was short on time and did not know what to give you, so here, this is for you." Bai He then took out a small box, making the moment feel rather ceremonial.

In truth, Bai He did not need to give him anything.

As long as he was here, Ye Shiyuan was already more than satisfied.

A smile curved across his lips.

"May I open it?"

"It is a gift for you. Of course you should open it."

After Ye Shiyuan opened the box, he saw a ring resting inside and set into the ring was a blue gemstone. "The ring is made by combining violet gold with Mystic Iron. As for the blue gem, I condensed it using my Cryo Sovereign’s power. This is worn on this finger."

Bai He slipped the ring onto Ye Shiyuan’s ring finger.

"Master, why does it have to be worn on this finger?"

"Because it means that you already belong to someone."

Ye Shiyuan nodded. "Mm. Then why don’t you have one, Master?"

"As for mine, of course you have to give it to me. Who gives themselves a ring?"

Besides, even if someone bought themselves a ring, they would not wear it on their ring finger.

Ye Shiyuan reached out and wrapped an arm around Bai He’s waist.

"I understand what you mean, Master."

"What do you mean?"

"I will prepare one for you as well. One that represents that you belong to me."

Bai He’s cheeks immediately flushed red.

He fumbled around before taking out the cord he had prepared. "If you are not used to wearing it every day, you can also use this cord and wear it around your neck."

Ye Shiyuan practiced swordsmanship every day, having an extra ring on his finger would probably take some getting used to.

Ye Shiyuan did not accept the cord. "It is alright. I will get used to it."

Bai He smiled.

Ye Shiyuan really easy to please.

Just look at how happy he was.

He really did seem to have quite a talent for this.

"Senior Brother Shiyuan."

A voice drifted in from outside.

Bai He paused for a moment.

It was the voice of a young girl.

"Someone is looking for you. Is it one of the junior sisters from the Tianshan Palace?"

"Master, I will go take a look first. Once I send her away, I will come right back."

"Mm, alright."

Ye Shiyuan then helped Bai He sit down before walking out of the room.
