"Ah, come here, it looks like the rice cakes in this house are delicious. ”

On the bustling street, a girl wearing a peaked cap and a mask is warmly greeting her companion and pulling her to a food truck on the side of the road.

"Pani, ......"

Kim Taeyeon uncomfortably raised her hand and pulled the mask on her face, and looked at the passers-by around with the corner of her eye, and couldn't help but whisper helplessly to the excited Tiffany beside her: "Didn't we come to see the coming-of-age ceremony? ”

"There's no hurry, there's still a little time anyway. It's hard to make a trip, of course we have to have a good time, how much free time do we two usually have like this?"

Tiffany turned her head to look at her, the big eyes under the brim of her hat blinking, and her tone was very natural.

After returning in the first half of the year, their group entered a period of individual activities, but the team formed by the two of them and Xu Xian returned soon after, so the three of them were the busiest in the whole team during this time.

When Kim Taeyeon heard this, she could only nod helplessly to Tiffany.

I just came out and came out, so I could fulfill all of this Nizi's wishes.

At this moment, even with the mask covering, Kim Taeyeon clearly saw that the crescent-like eyes were bent, and Tiffany happily turned around and said to the owner of the dining car, "Uncle, this, this, this, oh...... And this, give me one, ah no, two!

"Okay, wait a minute. The middle-aged man standing in the dining car immediately responded.

"That, don't add spicy ...... to mine" Kim Taeyeon looked at the steaming food next to him, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but remind him out loud.

In the run-up to her return, she usually pays attention to maintaining her throat.

"Okay, got it. The food truck uncle glanced at her, grinned, and nodded dryly.

Inexplicably made a little shy by the stranger's smile, Kim Tae-yeon pursed her lips and looked away without a trace, observing the surrounding situation.

Probably because of today's coming-of-age ceremony, she saw a lot of people selling small goods related to traditional culture, which made her a little interested, and she walked to a nearby stall to take a look.

"Natai...... That?"

Tiffany's confused voice came from behind her, and since she was on the street, she didn't dare to call out her name in public.

"It's okay, I'll just take a look. ”

Kim Taeyeon waved her hand back without looking back, and Tiffany, who was still standing in front of the dining car and waiting honestly, blinked when she saw her friend's appearance, and then an unknown happy smile appeared on her face under the mask.

It seems that the decision to go out for a walk is right, if this girl can forget about those unhappy things for a while, then the purpose of their trip today will be achieved.

Kim Taeyeon, who was concentrating on browsing, didn't think much of it, and in fact, her mood wasn't as bad as Tiffany imagined.

In the end, it's just an inconsequential person and an inconsequential thing, too much concern will only make herself uncomfortable, she has lived for more than 20 years, and what she is best at is not singing, but how to make herself uncomfortable.

It's very uncomfortable when you're alone, and it's hard when you're betrayed by your friends.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Kim Tae-yeon's gaze fell on an open box.

This is a good-looking gift box, and inside is a pair of bracelets that look exactly the same, made of black beads and a rectangular piece of dark green jade.

Kim Tae-yeon couldn't help but pick up a string of bracelets in the box, and after carefully admiring and looking through them, she found that behind the dark green jade were engraved two characters that looked like Chinese characters.

"It's a couple bracelet. ”

At this time, the stall owner, who had been watching from the sidelines, spoke.

"Couple bracelets?"

Kim Taeyeon looked up.

The stall owner was an old grandmother, and she smiled kindly at Kim Taeyeon, then stretched out her old and thin palm, pointed to the remaining bracelet in the box, and said, "This is the 'golden boy'." ”

Then, he raised his hand and pointed to the bracelet in Kim Taeyeon's hand, "This is the 'Jade Girl'." ”

"Golden ...... Jade ......"

The grandmother spoke in Chinese, so Kim Taeyeon still didn't understand the meaning of the words engraved on the bracelet in her hand, she blinked her eyes, didn't think too much, and asked: "Grandma, can I buy this bracelet alone?" Because I don't have anyone to give it to for the time being, I just want to buy one. ”

Hearing Kim Taeyeon's question, the stall owner's grandmother looked her up and down, and replied unexpectedly, "Yes, yes." ”

Kim Taeyeon was stunned for a moment when she heard this, she originally didn't have much hope for it, after all, everyone explained that it was a couple bracelet, and buying a single one was obviously not in line with the rules.

"Hehe, this pair of bracelets could have been sold separately. The old lady seemed to see the doubts in her heart, and added.

"But didn't you say it's a couple bracelet?" asked Kim Taeyeon, puzzled.

"What does it matter? The function of this bracelet itself is to pray for the arrival of love, if a couple of men and women wear it at the same time, it is possible to become lovers, so it is said to be a couple bracelet. The old woman explained with a smile.

Kim Taeyeon finally understood now.

Isn't this the same as the lottery at the matchmaking meeting, where a man and a woman draw the same number, and the match is successful.

She looked at the bracelet in her hand again with great interest, and said without thinking, "Since you can buy it alone...... Then please wrap it up for me. ”

Although she could have bought the two bracelets together, Kim Taeyeon didn't want to do it.

The reason why she likes this bracelet is very simple, it has nothing to do with any love, she just treats it as a favorite trinket.

Who would buy two pieces of the same piece of jewelry?

So, it's enough to buy one.

As for who the remaining bracelet would end up with, she didn't care.

Anyway, don't all trinkets like this that are said to be very effective prove to be ineffective in the end?

"Well, come and eat, it's already cooked. ”

"Ah, got it, I'll come over here. ”

Tiffany's greeting came from behind him, and Kim Taeyeon hurriedly finished paying, took the wrapped bracelet, turned around and walked back......

About half an hour or so passed.

The two girls who stopped in front of the dining car were long gone, but a tall and slender figure stopped where Kim Taeyeon had stopped just now.

His gaze fell on the open box quite coincidentally.

There was only one bracelet left in the box, which at first glance seemed a bit lonely.

"This is a 100% effective couple's bracelet, as long as a man and a woman wear it, they will definitely love each other. The grandmother, the stall owner sitting on the side, said with a smile.

100% effective?

He couldn't help but glance at the old man, his face was slightly surprised, but he didn't think so in his heart.

This kind of marketing rhetoric is an overblow.

However, he noticed another important point in the old man's words, and asked strangely, "Didn't you say a couple bracelet? What about the other one?"

"The other one was sold to a little girl not long ago. The old woman still smiled.

He raised his eyebrows, then reached out and picked up the remaining bracelet in the box, and after careful examination, he also noticed that there were two Chinese characters behind the jade.

"Golden ...... Child?"

After pronouncing the two characters engraved on the jade in standard Chinese pronunciation, he didn't think much about it, so he lowered his hand and asked, "Do you still have stock?" I want to buy a pair and give it away. ”

The stall owner's grandmother shook her head and said, "This is the last one." ”

Is there really only one left?

He subconsciously frowned, raised the bracelet in his hand again and looked at it, showing regret on his face.

"Young man, do you want to buy it? Even if there is only one, but if you can match it, love will come as promised. The stall owner's grandmother seemed to be trying her best to sell her wares.

He wanted to put the bracelet back, but with this movement, the movement of his hand stopped again.

He wasn't such an indecisive person.

Finally, after some thought, he said, "Please help me wrap it up." ”

With that, he took out his wallet.

"If there's only one, it seems that you can't give it as a gift to young people. ”

Another deal was made, and the stall owner's grandmother said something to him for no reason after collecting the money.

He didn't care when he heard it, but replied lightly: "It's okay, I just like it myself." ”

"That's right! ”

He was stunned, and looked at the old grandmother who suddenly showed a smile on her face in confusion.

The old man looked at him and smiled meaningfully at him: "In love, there are not so many reasons for two people to love each other, that is, ...... Like, this one reason is enough. ”

He didn't quite understand why the other party was saying this to himself.

But after thinking about it, he smiled without saying a word, and then took his bracelet and turned away.

Do you love each other because you like it?

He walked thoughtfully through the crowd, then shook his head and smiled indifferently.

There are so many people I like, can they really all be together?
