Chapter 308: The Gift That Ensures Safety 307
After helping Pei Ningle move the things into Wang Heng’s house, Xu Xiahsia hesitated for a good while before silently leaving.
After all, if it’s meant to rain, you can’t stop it.
And after she left, Wang Heng took out that gift box not even the size of a palm and handed it to Pei Ningle.
The young girl eagerly opened the gift box and saw a delicate little necklace.
The length of this thing was clearly perfect for wearing on a girl’s collarbone. The thin chain gleamed with a silvery white luster, and in the middle was a pendant shaped like a musical note, looking simple yet full of individuality.
“The chain and pendant are both made of silver, not expensive, but this is really my first time customizing jewelry. Oh right, this musical note pendant has a built-in signal transmitter inside. If you encounter an emergency and need help, you can forcefully twist it off or break the chain, and I’ll receive the signal. But if we’re not in the same city, there’s no way, you’d have to call the police…”
What Wang Heng said was of course true, but not entirely.
In this playthrough, it really was his first time customizing, but this time he customized four pieces.
This signal transmitter can indeed be used to call for help in emergencies, but even normally, it sends a signal every minute so Wang Heng can judge the distance from himself.
And the miniature battery inside uses the smallest model of pacemaker battery, which can last at least several years. As for after several years… by then, if he hasn’t been chopped by the cleaver, he probably won’t need the signal warning device anymore, right?
Of course, Pei Ningle couldn’t possibly think of the tricks behind this, and just hurriedly put the necklace around her neck, then carefully looked at herself in the full-length mirror on the wall.
Wang Heng walked behind her and softly asked: “Does it look good?”
The young girl’s mouth corners couldn’t help but curl up, her small face full of happy smiles, and she nodded vigorously.
Wang Heng raised his hand and gently touched the necklace, so his fingertips naturally brushed her nape.
Pei Ningle instantly froze, and the smile on her small face also solidified.
But Wang Heng didn’t make any further moves, just softly said: “I’ll always be paying attention to you from now on. Good luck. No matter what, I’ll always be your first fan.”
Pei Ningle suddenly turned around, staring straight at him. The young girl’s round eyes were like those of a newborn fawn, carrying a pure joy and pristine beauty.
“Thank you.”
With that, Pei Ningle hugged him.
This time Wang Heng didn’t push her away, just gently patted her back.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked: “What do you want to eat later?”
Pei Ningle lifted her head and stared at him: “Going out to eat again? But before you came, I just ordered takeout.”
Wang Heng: “…”
He had been hesitating whether to cook for her once, but now, no need to hesitate on that point.
And Pei Ningle clearly didn’t realize what she had missed, still saying: “I ordered a double portion. Because when I placed the order, Sister Xu was here too. Now that she’s gone, perfect, we two can eat together!”
Wang Heng: “Okay…”
The two sat on the sofa, each taking out their mobile phone, waiting for the takeout.
Suddenly, Pei Ningle touched her lower abdomen, her expression changing: “Oh no…”
Wang Heng: “Forgot to buy something?”
Pei Ningle secretly gritted her teeth, really too embarrassed to say it out loud.
Just seeing the young girl’s embarrassed expression, Wang Heng guessed it: “Need sanitary napkins?”
The young girl’s small face turned even redder, and she silently nodded. The nod was quite small, but luckily Wang Heng could still see it.
So he stood up: “You’re not convenient to run around right now, right? Wait here, I know where the convenience store in the residential area is.”
A few seconds later, Wang Heng went out.
The door closed, and Pei Ningle covered her face with both hands, muttering softly: “Idiot, how did I forget again…”

Five minutes later, Wang Heng returned bringing the girl’s essential item. And less than ten minutes after that, the takeout arrived too.
Opening the food container, he couldn’t help but complain: “Can you eat spicy hot pot right now? So spicy, won’t it be too stimulating?”
Pei Ningle stuck out her little tongue: “Noon was too bland, in the evening I wanted to eat…”
Wang Heng picked up disposable chopsticks and tapped her forehead once.
“Ouch!” The young girl covered her forehead, her small face full of grievance.
“Don’t act, the chopsticks are so light.”
“Even if it doesn’t hurt, it still scared me!”
Wang Heng shook his head, found a small bowl, unscrewed the mineral water and poured some in.
Then, he pushed the bowl in front of the girl and said: “Before eating, rinse it here first.”
Pei Ningle made another tongue-sticking grimace. But when she picked up the chopsticks to pick up food, she still obediently did as told…

Saturday afternoon, Wang Heng came to the office.
Assistant Shen was on a routine business trip, so only Han Yixuan was in the office—because during the week she had to stay at school, so only weekends could she come over to punch in and get a feel for working.
Today’s Han Yixuan was still in the workplace OL short skirt set. But that deliberately mature makeup couldn’t hide the youthful vibe of the young girl herself.
Wang Heng pulled over a chair and sat in the empty spot beside her.
Han Yixuan had of course noticed the boss’s arrival long ago, and now turned to face him, asking: “Any instructions?”
“Not really instructions,” Wang Heng handed over the small gift box, “just have something for you.”
Han Yixuan took the gift box and was stunned on the spot for several seconds.
A gift for her? Not her birthday or any holiday, no special reason? Could he have some weird intentions? Or is this actually a little gift before dismissal?
A string of questions left Han Yixuan unsure of how to react.
She could only ask expressionlessly: “Why give it to me?”
Wang Heng smiled: “Won’t you see what’s inside first?”
Han Yixuan silently opened the gift box and saw an electronic watch.
Generally speaking, the grade of an electronic watch is a bit lower than a mechanical watch, but this one didn’t have that cheap feel common on the market, instead looking quite exquisite and simple.
Silver metal watch band, rectangular dial with a sci-fi vibe, and a sleek and complete display screen…
“Besides telling time as a watch, it’s also an alarm device. You just long-press this emergency button to send an alert, and then I’ll know you need help.”
After Wang Heng finished speaking, he saw a hint of doubt in Han Yixuan’s eyes.
“Will I encounter danger?”
“Who knows,” Wang Heng shrugged, “Don’t forget, right after Gaokao back then, you almost got hit by a car.”
Han Yixuan pursed her lips, feeling her vision blur a bit.
Turns out, it’s not just her who still remembers that matter from back then?
Turns out, he really cares about her that much?
Han Yixuan lowered her face, staring at the ground, and softly said: “Can you… help me put it on?”
Wang Heng: “Happy to.”
