Such gestures are born from the mutual care between loved ones.
"Thank you, Little Red Carp." Hua Yusen accepted it and went to slip it into his pocket, unconvinced that the rock was actually a lucky stone.
Zhao Nuanyue knew the Little Red Carp never did anything without a reason. There had to be a purpose for it to come all this way just to give Hua Yusen a black stone.
Still, she trusted that the Little Red Carp would never harm Hua Yusen. She snatched the small stone from his hand, then took the seashell necklace from around his neck. After tying the small stone to it, she placed it back around Hua Yusen's neck.
"There. You can't waste the Little Red Carp's kind gesture. You have to keep this with you at all times," Zhao Nuanyue instructed. "I'll be waiting for you to come back safely."
Hua Yusen nodded. He patted the Little Red Carp's head, kissed Zhao Nuanyue on the forehead, and then reluctantly left.
