I opened the door and peered inside it was filled with papers and what looked like offerings. I picked up what looked to be a black box. Inside was a hair pin

It was a green flower with a smaller white one in the middle with gold outlines

It was a green flower with a smaller white one in the middle with gold outlines. A set of two smaller beads hung off from the end.

It looked old and wasn't worn much. I closed the box and opened another. It was jewelry a necklace made out of noctilucous jade. It was elaborately designed with bits of jade here and there and a large piece in the middle.

I continued to look through boxes and found more and more Jewelry, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, hair pins and rings.

If she's so glorified to receive these... then why doesn't she wear them?

"Xiaoooo! It's ready!" She called for me to come eat.

I went back through the hall way and and made my way to the table. I sat down and waited.

She brought over a plate of almond tofu and set it down in front of me. She handed me a spoon and I cut into it. I about bit into it but normally I wouldn't eat anything that a person gave me.

"If I eat this will you play your violin once more?" I said as I looked up at her.

She blushed and small flowers sprouted in her hair.

"Um sure let me go pick out a song." She said in a nervous laugh as she walked to her bedroom.

Was she nervous to play? The day that I heard her it was beautiful, so I don't understand how she'd be self conscious about her playing.

She came back out with sheet music in hand and he violin and bow in the other.

I looked at her and but into the almond tofu. I stopped
A different, cool, relaxing flavor was on my tongue. It was different than Yanxiao's but in a good way.

I didn't want to show to her that I wanted to wolf it down and request for more, so I slowly continued eating. I finished the plate and set the spoon down.

"Did you like it?" She asked nervously as fiddled with her thumbs.

"It...was different, but in a good way." I said shortly and stood up and put the plate in the sink.

"Will you play for me now?" I asked while I crossed my arms. I didn't want to force her but I wanted to hear her play at least once more.

"Oh! Yes, let's go outside, I prefer to be out there I think it helps me play better." She explained as we shuffled outside.
