Seeing his expression, Yunyi knew what he was thinking and said, "Before life and death, what does dignity count for? Only by living are there endless possibilities."
The boy's nose reddened, and he brought over the cloth bag beside him. "I won't take your steamed buns for nothing. You can choose anything from this bag."
Yunyi saw his determined gaze and knew that if she didn't choose, he likely wouldn't accept the two steamed buns. So, she looked into the cloth bag he opened. It was just a casual glance, but her heartbeat quickened—there were actually several jade ornaments inside.
Yunyi hurriedly warned, "Put those away quickly! Don't show such things to just anyone."
But the child paid no heed and just looked at her. "If you don't choose, I can't accept these."
He kept the cloth bag open. Yunyi had no choice but to reach in and take out the least conspicuous Jade Pendant. "I've chosen," she said. "Take the steamed buns and hurry home."
