Over the next few days, Qiao Xiyan clearly felt that Tang Jingci was avoiding him and spending almost every day with Duan Linbai.

She would be leaving China in a few days. Since she had already confirmed her intention to cooperate with Duan Linbai, she naturally had to make some arrangements and further discuss the details. Then there was one time

When Qiao Xiyan returned from his morning exercise, he saw Duan Linbai coming out of Tang Jingcis room with dark circles under his eyes.

Dont send me off. Hurry up and go to sleep. You havent rested all night. Duan Linbai yawned and said goodbye to the person at the door.

It must have been hard on you last night. Tang Jingci looked very energetic.

Duan Linbais eyes were dark circles, and his face was pale. At this moment, he was even less energetic, as if his essence had been sucked dry by a demon.

It wasnt hard. Its what I should do. Its just that my waist is stiff from being busy all night. Duan Linbai smiled. You worked hard too.

The two of them exchanged pleasantries and said goodbye. Duan Linbai turned his head and saw Qiao Xiyan, who had just returned from exercising.

He was wearing simple sportswear and holding a water bottle in his hand. His short hair was wet and sticking to his forehead. His eyes were as deep as the sea, making Duan Linbais heart skip a beat. Good morning, Mr. Qiao.

Yesterday, you two Qiao Xiyan raised his eyebrows. Were you together all night?

Miss Tang is full of energy. I cant do anything about it either. Ah, Im really getting old, and I cant take it anymore. I have to go back and catch up on my sleep. Goodbye. Duan Linbai quickly got into the elevator.

Qiao Xiyan glanced at Tang Jingci standing at the door, his expression unreadable.

Senior Brother, wait a minute. I have something for you. Tang Jingci walked into the room.

Qiao Xiyan stood at the door. It wasnt closed.

Come in and wait. Its a bit of a mess here. I need to look for it. Tang Jingci was squatting on the floor and looking for something.

When Qiao Xiyan entered, the room was indeed very messy. The floor was full of specialty products, and the bed was full of various doc.u.ments and papers. The blanket hadnt been moved at all. The two of them chatted about work all night?

Tang Jingci finally took out a box from a bag and handed it to him. Ive troubled you a lot these days and delayed you for so long. This is a small token of my appreciation.

Qiao Xiyan took the box. It was a little heavy.

Open it and take a look. Tang Jingci looked at him expectantly.

Qiao Xiyan opened the clasp. Inside were five exquisite carving knives. They were different from ordinary knives. The handles were wrapped in iron and jade, and there seemed to be some delicate mechanisms.

The handle of these carving knives can be changed. If the blade is broken, it can be changed directly. Its very convenient. Furthermore Tang Jingci picked up one of the carving knives and casually picked up a stone, wanting to show him something.

This was the first time the two of them were alone after the forceful kiss.

Tang Jingci originally wanted to give him the things and send him away. But when she saw the carving knives, her hands started itching uncontrollably. She wanted to explain all the uses of the carving knives to him, and

Previously, she had embarra.s.sed herself in front of him, so she wanted to regain her dignity.

She took a deep breath. Its time to show my true skills.

Qiao Xiyan walked over and looked down from behind her.

Tang Jingci picked up the stone and twisted the carving knife. For example, carving my name. Look here. If you turn it slightly, the edge of the blade will be different. This is a flat edge, and the edge is very thin. If its tilted like this, the texture will be slightly deeper

As soon as she made a cut, Qiao Xiyan suddenly lowered his body, and his hot breath landed on the side of her face.

She was so shocked that her fingers trembled. The blade slanted and rubbed against her nails

She almost cut her fingers.

Qiao Xiyan frowned and suddenly reached out to hold her hand

He was embracing her from behind. His body was pressing tightly against hers, and his arms were touching hers. Have you ever learned how to hold a knife? Keep your wrist steady. Dont shake! Dont shake!

Okay. Tang Jingci subconsciously moved forward, trying to leave his control.

Youre good at carving characters

How do you know? When Tang Jingci just started learning how to carve, she had learned how to carve characters. At the time, she had been unwilling to learn Chinese characters and had even been hit by her father. He said that she couldnt forget her ancestors and be unable to write Chinese.

Thus, she had learned how to write beautiful Chinese characters.

Didnt you carve that Im a b.a.s.t.a.r.d before?

Tang Jingci was embarra.s.sed. How did he know about this? He has such good eyesight?

Dont shake the knife. Your calluses are all gone. Pay attention. Be careful not to peel off your skin and fles.h.!.+ Qiao Xiyan reminded.

Okay. Tang Jingci retracted her hand. Qiao Xiyans arms didnt pull away but instead wrapped around her and carved on the stone. He moved quickly..
