About five minutes later, Yang Qingyin saw a figure running swiftly toward her.

It was Luo Ziling, of course.

By the time Luo Ziling had dashed to where Yang Qingyin was waiting, he was slightly out of breath.

He had a very good lung capacity and rarely gasped for air even when running at high altitudes, but today he had run too fast. Instead of taking the stairs down, he had jumped, and he ran on the flat ground at a speed even faster than his usual hundred-meter sprint, fearing Yang Qingyin might have to wait too long.

Seeing Luo Ziling return so quickly after having run back to his dorm made Yang Qingyin quite touched.

But she didn’t show her emotions and instead teased him with a smile, “It looks like you’d definitely win a place in the school’s sports meet, whether it’s short or long-distance running!”

“Really? Then I’ll definitely sign up the next time there’s a sports meet,” Luo Ziling said between breaths, smiling at Yang Qingyin, “If I join the race, will you come and cheer for me?”

“We’ll talk about that when you sign up!” Yang Qingyin replied playfully with a smile, and then curiously asked Luo Ziling, “What were you up to?”

“This is for you,” Luo Ziling took a small box out of his pocket and handed it to Yang Qingyin, “I found this jade stone when I was up in the mountains collecting herbs in the Northwest. It’s quite a good quality, so I’m giving it to you as a birthday gift, hoping you’d like it.”

Yang Qingyin hesitated for a moment but then reached out to take it and opened the box in front of Luo Ziling.

Upon opening it, she saw a flicker of light inside the box, and in the dim light, there was a pale red jade stone.

“Don’t refuse it, okay? It’s a birthday present from me. It’s the first time I’ve given you a gift, and if you refuse, I’ll be very sad,” Luo Ziling said somewhat shyly, “My grandfather said the jade is of quite good quality, but I don’t understand jade, nor can I assess its value. However, I thought it looked pretty nice, so I’ve kept it with me all this time. Take it as a little token of my affection!”

As he spoke, Luo Ziling grabbed Yang Qingyin’s hand, closed the opened box, and then smiled, “Go back to sleep, Comrade Birthday Girl. It’s a pity I didn’t get to eat your birthday cake!”

“I’ll accept it,” Yang Qingyin said without further refusal, deciding to keep Luo Ziling’s birthday present. Hearing him mention the birthday cake, she playfully replied, “If you want cake, I’ll buy you one someday to make up for today’s miss, is that okay?”

“Just invite me for a big meal another day, and include a cake too!” Luo Ziling grinned broadly.

Whenever he talked with Yang Qingyin, he couldn’t help smiling—not a silly smile, but one from the bottom of his heart.

“I’ll treat you to a big meal once today’s extra calorie intake has been burned off,” Yang Qingyin said with a cute smile toward Luo Ziling, “Now I’m going back to sleep. You should rest early too!”

“I’ll leave after I see you go upstairs!” Luo Ziling stepped back.

Yang Qingyin also took a step back, smiled, and bid Luo Ziling goodbye, “Then I’m heading up, see you tomorrow!”

“See you tomorrow!”

After Yang Qingyin swiftly entered the girls’ dorm building, she quickly went up the stairs. When she reached the second floor, she stuck her head out the hallway window and looked down at where Luo Ziling was standing.

Then, she hurried back to her dorm room.

Yang Qingyin’s dorm room also housed four people, and the other three roommates all had boyfriends.

When Yang Qingyin returned to her room, it was still pitch dark, probably because her three roommates hadn’t come back from their dates yet.

Yang Qingyin entered the dorm room, turned on the light, closed the door, and took out the small box that Luo Ziling had given her from her pocket.

When she opened the box, the jade stone inside flashed with a faint light once again.

Under the bright light, Yang Qingyin could clearly see the appearance of the jade.

What surprised her was that this piece of jade was actually red.

Although Yang Qingyin did not have a specific study of jade, she had a general understanding of it.

Traditional jade according to color is divided into nephrite and colored jade; nephrite includes white jade and Qingyu, and colored jade is divided into red jade, yellow jade, spinach jade, ink jade, and mottled jade.

While red jade is a known category, the reality is that red jade is extremely rare, almost nonexistent, to the point of being almost ignored in the jade industry. And the jade that Luo Ziling had given her was red, albeit a bit dark.

This discovery shocked Yang Qingyin.

If this jade were real and naturally colored, then its value would be immeasurable.

Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Yang Qingyin carefully took out the unsculpted jade from the box and looked at it against the light.

To her amazement, when observed under the light, the color of the jade changed, appearing different from various angles.

Looking closely in the light, she could even vaguely see something flowing within the jade.

After observing carefully for a while, Yang Qingyin judged, with her limited knowledge of jade, that this was a piece of red jade of excellent quality.

After a thorough examination, Yang Qingyin took out her phone and searched for information related to red jade, growing even more amazed.

This piece of red jade, at least five centimeters square and of excellent quality, if it were natural, would be valued conservatively in the seven-figure range, and the seven figures would start with at least a 6.

On her birthday, Luo Ziling had given her such a valuable gift, and Yang Qingyin was stunned there, taking quite a while to come back to her senses.

Although such a value might not mean much to her as seeing things worth millions wasn’t unusual, Luo Ziling, who used a Redmi phone, giving her such a precious gift on her birthday, moved her greatly.

She decided that one day when she had time, she would take it to the jade shop at home and have the old man who was an expert in jade and antiques appraise the value of the jade. It wasn’t that she doubted it was glass or some other type of fake product, but she really wanted to know the true value of the gift Luo Ziling had given her.

She would give Luo Ziling much more in return.

After putting away the jade, she sent Luo Ziling a message, “Junior, thank you for the gift, I will treasure it for a lifetime!”

“I’m glad you like it,” came Luo Ziling’s swift reply, “I hope you wear it every day!”

“Hmm, I’ll have someone polish it at the jade shop when I get a chance, and wear it every day!” Yang Qingyin also quickly replied with a message, “The gift you gave is the most precious one I’ve received. I’ll treasure it for sure!”

Upon seeing this message, Luo Ziling’s face lit up with joy, and he almost jumped for joy.

“Senior sister, I’m glad you like it. I was afraid you’d find it too plain!” he replied swiftly.

“How could I find it too plain?” Yang Qingyin’s message came back at once, “I will definitely keep wearing it. Hehe, when it’s your birthday, I will also give you a gift.”

“That’s a promise, don’t forget!”

“Hmm, I won’t forget!”
