Chapter 162: Concentric Scissors
"Don't feel comfortable?" Shen Yishuo asked softly, afraid that he would suddenly appear and scare Yunguan again.
"I'm not feeling uncomfortable. Chen'er, go and have a good meal, don't worry about my sister." Yunwan thought it was Youchen who came to ask her to have dinner again.
"Why don't you feel uncomfortable and you don't have a good meal? As a sister, you're so willful." Shen Yishuo stroked Yunguan's forehead, afraid that she was really sick. "It's okay, I didn't have a fever, so why are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"Brother Shuo, why is it you? I thought it was Youchen." The sudden hand shocked Yunguan.
"What? Sister doesn't welcome me?" Shen Yishuo looked at Yunguan's panic and blamed himself for his actions being too reckless. "I'm afraid you're sick, so I come and take a look."
"I am not well received, please forgive me for your help." Yunguan rubbed her eyes, and her eyelids couldn't lift them up. "I just felt a little tired and didn't feel any discomfort."
"Am I intruding my sister's eyes?" Shen Yishuo was very worried when he saw Yunguan's unhappy expression.
"If Brother Shuo is fine, I will continue to sleep." Yunguan pulled the quilt over her head and pretended to go to bed. She hoped that Shen Yishuo could leave on his own initiative. It would be too rude to drive him away directly.
After being humiliated for a day, Yunguan didn't want to see Shen Yishuo at all.
"It's nothing big. I just want to borrow a pair of scissors from my sister, okay?" Shen Yishuo picked up the corner of the quilt that Yunguan pulled off and tucked it back, and sat gently beside the couch. He had no intention of leaving.
"Brother Shuo, I really don't have scissors. If you are in a hurry, go and borrow something from Sister Han." Yunguan turned her back to Shen Yishuo and refused cleanly. She knew that she was too haggard now and had no energy to face others.
Yunguan really wants to keep a distance from the third prince. She cannot worry too much about her now or in the future, because if a person loses himself, it will be really hard to find him again.
"It just so happens that I want to give my sister a new pair of scissors?" Shen Yishuo pulled Yunguan from the couch and handed a packet of red cloth to Yunguan.
"What is this?" Yunguan asked curiously. She didn't expect that Shen Yishuo came here specifically to make her happy.
"Wan'er open it and you'll know." Shen Yishuo looked at Yunguan affectionately, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Oh." Yunguan had no reason to reject Shen Yishuo's kindness, so he had to open the red cloth. It turned out to be a very exquisite pair of gold scissors, with auspicious cloud patterns engraved on the scissors, and small and exquisite royal blue jade was inlaid on it as decoration, like stars falling on golden clouds, shining brightly.
"Does my sister like it? This was made by a craftsman who purposely ordered me to make it. Fortunately, it was completed in time. I waited for the scissors for a whole day, and finally got it back." Shen Yishuo looked at Yun Wan affectionately and said, "Do you know what these scissors are used for?"
"I don't know." Yunguan shook her head shyly. Although she didn't know why Shen Yishuo gave her scissors, this was the first gift Shen Yishuo officially gave her, and Yunguan liked it very much.
"I really don't know? Or are you shy and pretending not to know?" Shen Yishuo asked while suddenly pulling out Yunguan's golden hairpin, and his thin hair poured down like black velvet brocade. The end of his hair was drooping on the goose yellow soft couch, as if golden water lilies were born.
Apart from the accident at the sacrificial ceremony, this was the first time that Yunguan had scattered her long hair in front of the man after the hairpin, which made her cheeks flush instantly, and she was so embarrassed that she dared not look up again.
Shen Yishuo pinned Yunguan's black hair behind his ears. This ambiguous action allowed his slightly cool fingers to slide from her cheekbones to his jaw, and stayed at his fair neck for a moment.
Shen Yishuo streaked out a small piece of hair and gently cut it off with scissors, put it on the tip of his nose, as if sucking the fragrance and intimate with her black hair.
"Brother Shuo~" Yunwan called out softly unconsciously. At this moment, she didn't know how to respond to the person in front of her. This scene should be considered a so-called love.
Shen Yishuo sat side by side with Yunguan in silence. It took him a long time to go, as if time had been frozen, and even the faint breathing sounds dissipated in the quiet night.
Seeing that Yunguan didn't move, Shen Yishuo took her hand and put it on his crown hairpin, gently pulled out the nanmu hairpin, and then placed the scissors in Yunguan's hand. "Sister cut a strand for me, okay?"
Yunguan nodded shyly, stroked Shen Yishuo's head with a slight trembling hand, and pulled out a strand of hair strands from the root of the hair to the shoulder-length position. She fiddled with it for a long time before she could cut it off. After all, her body and skin are taken by her parents, especially men, should not be moved at will.
"Sister, pretend to be here?" Shen Yishuo took out two sachets from his sleeve and handed them to Yunguan.
"No." Yunguan shook her head and said.
"Why? Don't my sister want to treasure my hair?" Shen Yishuo was a little disappointed. He thought Yunguan didn't want to stay with him forever.
"Of course... I think, just..." Yunguan took out two more exquisite sachets from under the pillow, one put into the black hair she had just cut, and the other handed it to Shen Yishuo.
"This sachet is really exquisite, and my sister's embroidery is quite amazing." Shen Yishuo put the hair in his hand into the sachet and carefully put it into his sleeve. He didn't even realize that the two sachets were embroidered with the same mandarin ducks. Even if he looked carefully, he couldn't find out what the differences between the two patterns were.
"Brother Xie Shuo praised me, I just used it to embroider, and..." If Yunguan couldn't see Shen Yi Shuo today, she would be extremely disappointed.
"What's more?" Shen Yishuo didn't know why Yunguan wanted to speak but stopped.
"Besides... I thought my brother would not come." Yunguan muttered in a low voice. Her complaint sounded like a coquettish act to Shen Yishuo.
"So my sister has been waiting for me. No wonder she embroidered such a beautiful sachet." Shen Yishuo smiled and could feel Yunguan's admiration for him.
"Well... I didn't want to see you anymore, but you insisted on disturbing me." Yunguan pretended to be angry and gave Shen Yishuo a blank look.
"Is it really disturbing you?" Shen Yishuo and Yunguan were very close to each other face to face. "I have been busy all day, and I have been waiting for a long time. How do I compensate you?"
"Brother has already compensated." Yunguan shook the scissors in her hand and smiled at Shen Yishuo.
"Do you like it? Do you know the meaning of these scissors?" Shen Yishuo likes Yunguan's playful expression.
"Didn't you use it just now?" Yunguan asked in confusion with blinking.
"This is called "sharp-in-one" and means that a couple should be like two blades of scissors. Only by working together can they stay together for a lifetime." Shen Yishuo's explanation would definitely think that he was confessing to Yunguan if others heard it.
