Fang Chuning didn't understand why Xie Jue was so stubborn, treating his jade crown and hairpin as treasures. He thought perhaps it was a crown and hairpin gifted by an elder when a man comes of age, so he tentatively asked, "Did Marquis give it to you?"
Xie Jue shook his head.
Fang Chuning took a deep breath, "Then why won't you pawn it?"
"I don't want to pawn it." Xie Jue's answer was straightforward, almost making Fang Chuning angrily retort, fine, you want to be noble, you don't want to pawn it, then go hungry. Anyway, he could eat the dry food, though he felt sorry seeing Xie Jue nibble on a dry bun for a long time, unable to eat even a piece of beef jerky, but that was none of his concern, right?
Yet after a moment.
"Mr. Xie, Young Master Xie, Prince Yan, if you pawn this hairpin, you can redeem it in the future."
"I don't like others touching my things."
Fang Chuning, "..."
Fine, truly stubborn!
Starve then!
