Shen Qiqi looked at the mysterious man's strange expression and felt confused.

Who is this man?

Role-playing veteran?

Is this popular these days?

She took a small step back calmly, looking at the other person calmly.

The man was wearing a gray Mao suit and a pair of black-framed glasses with lenses as thick as the bottom of a beer bottle, making it difficult to see his eyes.

There was an indescribable strange feeling about him, like...

Like a stone that has been covered for a long time, it exudes a stale smell.

Lu Qing also noticed that the atmosphere was not right, and quietly approached Shen Qiqi, blocking her like a mountain.

Although he didn't say anything, anyone with a discerning eye could see his protective attitude.

Qian Dipi originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to do some more trouble, but when he saw this, he immediately backed off and cursed in his heart: What bad luck!

The mysterious man seemed oblivious to the undercurrents surging around him. He continued to stare at Shen Qiqi's Chinese knot, poking it from time to time, muttering to himself, "Interesting...Interesting..."

"Comrade," Shen Qiqi was the first to break the silence, "what do you think is so interesting about these handicrafts of mine?"

The man pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a reflection flashed across the lenses, making it impossible to see his eyes clearly.

"Though your knotting technique may look ordinary, it holds hidden secrets. The density of the knots, the thickness of the rope, and even the color matching are all very particular." He paused, a hint of provocation in his tone, "I just wonder how much of the intricacies of this technique you can reveal?"

Shen Qiqi raised her eyebrows. Are they here to mess things up?

Or are you here to challenge?

Just as she was about to speak, the man added slowly, "Little girl, please don't tell me that these are just lucky guesses."

There was a hint of sneer on the corner of his mouth, waiting to see Shen Qiqi's joke.

The people watching the excitement around also started to talk in low voices.

Shen Qiqi smiled slightly, picked up a Chinese knot calmly, and began to speak slowly...

"This knot is called the 'Pan Chang Knot', and its meaning is..." She paused and looked at the mysterious man, "Do you know its meaning?" Shen Qiqi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, with a sly flash in her eyes, "Pan Chang Knot, also known as the 'Infinite Knot', means continuity and endless life. It not only represents auspiciousness and sustainability, but also symbolizes good wishes and hopes." As she spoke, she deftly turned the Chinese knot in her hand, showing its exquisiteness and uniqueness at every angle.

Her voice was clear and melodious, like a spring flowing through the mountains, and with a hint of unquestionable confidence, it instantly attracted the attention of everyone around her.

"This knot may seem simple, but it actually holds a lot of secrets. The direction of each thread, the tightness of each knot, all came out of my repeated deliberation and experimentation to arrive at its current form." Shen Qiqi pointed at the subtle lines on the Chinese knot and continued, "Don't underestimate its small size; it represents countless nights of painstaking effort." She paused, a hint of irony in her tone, "Of course, some may think this is just a blind cat catching a dead mouse, but I believe it's the fruit of absolute wisdom."

Her words were both humorous and confident, raising the level of her handicrafts and instantly attracting a lot of people's attention.

Customers gathered around, looking at the Chinese knot in her hand curiously, and making exclamations of admiration.

"This little girl is so skillful, and the Chinese knot she made is so beautiful!"

"Yeah, yeah, it looks like a work of art."

"The color combination of this rope is so beautiful. It makes people like it just by looking at it."

Sun Tongxing looked at the lively scene in front of Shen Qiqi's stall and was so angry that his teeth itched. He wanted to rush up and tear all those Chinese knots into pieces.

He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh, and his face was so gloomy that ink could have dripped out.

Here, Lu Qing watched Shen Qiqi talking freely. He skillfully helped Shen Qiqi introduce the products to customers, and would say from time to time: "What my Qiqi makes is absolutely top-notch!" The interaction between the two was full of sweet atmosphere, making people around them unable to help but cast envious glances.

Shen Qiqi occasionally looked up at Lu Qing, and the tenderness in her eyes could drown people.

She continued to explain the characteristics of other handicrafts, each of which was unique and full of meaning.

She was like a luminous body, the light of confidence radiating from her body, attracting everyone's attention.

At this moment, Qian Dipi saw the opportunity and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to cause more trouble. He angrily squeezed to the front of the stall and pushed away an old lady who was choosing handicrafts.

The old lady was pushed and staggered, almost falling to the ground, but fortunately she was supported by someone next to her.

Qian Diba shouted gruffly, "Get out of my way! Who told you to buy things here? It's really bad luck!"

Lu Qing frowned, and quickly stood in front of Shen Qiqi. He was like a towering mountain, guarding her firmly.

Qian Dipi was blocked, and his anger intensified. He glared at Lu Qing fiercely and tried to push him away: "Get out of here, kid, and don't meddle in other people's business!"

Qian Dipi stretched out his rough hand, trying to push Lu Qing away. His domineering aura was like a violent thunderstorm in summer, instantly enveloping the entire stall.

The flesh on his face trembled, as if he wanted to eat Lu Qing alive.

The onlookers were so frightened that they dared not even breathe, fearing that they would get into trouble.

Lu Qing's eyes flashed, like a sharp sword being unsheathed, tightly grasping Qian Dipi's wrist like an iron clamp, and no matter how Qian Dipi struggled, he would not move at all.
