It was the first time she had received a thoughtful gift in all of her sixteen years and she wanted to savor the moment just a little longer.
After an hour of staring and daydreaming, she finally reached out, lazing unhooking the clasp.
She dipped the tip of her finger is the ornamental hook and gently flicked… but the clasp refused to budge.
She shifted her hand, gripping the clasp now, budging it this way and that, twisting it her and there, gently shifting it back and forth… but she just could not click it open.
Feng Zhiwei sat up straight, picking up the box and bringing it to her. As she leaned in and carefully examined the gift, her mouth began twitching.
The clasp was a simple ornamental piece, completely unfunctioning! She'd been fooled!
Feng Zhiwei held the box, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. As she thought about how rare it was for Ning Yi to be in the mood to joke and prank, a quiet, warm smile filled Feng Zhiwei's eyes.
