In the evening, as soon as Shen Hua returned home, she smelled a wonderful aroma and saw pastries on the table.
Just then, Xie Sichen came out of the kitchen, and Shen Hua glanced at him.
Did you buy these pastries?
"Hmm! I thought you'd like to eat it, so I bought it."
After Xie Sichen finished speaking, he went into the kitchen.
Shen Hua smelled the pastry, which smelled like the one she had smelled earlier that day. There were quite a few people queuing up back then, so it must have taken a lot of time to buy it now.
She walked over, picked it up, and took a bite. Just as she had smelled, it was very fragrant, soft, and delicious.
At that moment, her phone lit up several times. Chen Hua opened it, checked WeChat, and saw that it was a message from Xi Yi.
Xi Yi: "Sister Chen Hua, do you know how to carve? If not, we'll find someone to learn carving tomorrow. I heard that giving a carved item to a friend is the best way to show your sincerity. Sister Wenwen hasn't been in a good mood lately, so I want to carve one for her so she knows that someone still cares about her."
Images, images, images, images.
The following are some pictures she sent.
Xi Yi: "Sister Chen Hua, I can't learn anything too complicated, so I just picked a few. Which one do you think looks good?"
The first picture is a rabbit, the second is a rooster, the third is a pony, and the third picture is not an animal but a flower, the kind with only four petals and some complicated patterns in the middle.
After looking at these paintings, Shen Hua felt that Xiao Ma's painting was more suitable. But now, she probably doesn't need to find someone to learn from her, right?
There are instructional videos available online.
"Let's go with the third one! It doesn't have to be that complicated. You can learn it online. Just don't waste your time learning it."
Xi Yi: "Waaah, Sister Shen Hua still cares about me the most. I'll go learn now, and I'll definitely be able to do it tomorrow."
Shen Hua put down her phone and took out the bead that Xie Sichen had given her.
It looks great and feels very comfortable to the touch. The more I look at it, the more I like it.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck her, and she picked up a spirit stone and a small knife and began to carve.
She wanted to carve a beautiful box to hold the bead.
Spirit stones are made of stone, and even a knife will cause collisions when it is cut into them, making them very difficult to carve successfully.
Sometimes, when Chen Hua accidentally cut his finger, he would put the bead inside to test it when the carving was almost finished.
There was still blood on her hands, and when she touched the bead, the blood was absorbed by the bead. Shen Hua noticed this unusual thing.
She examined the bead carefully, but after a while, she didn't see any reaction from it, as if what had just happened was her imagination.
She cut her finger again and squeezed out a drop of blood. Holding the bead in her hand, she noticed that the cut had healed and the blood had disappeared.
So this is still a treasure that can heal wounds. Just as I was about to investigate further, Xie Sichen came out carrying food.
"Chen Hua, dinner's ready."
Shen Hua walked over, still pondering, her thoughts not on the food.
Xie Sichen found it strange; this was the first time he had seen her not focusing on the food, even though he had made her favorite dish today.
"Shen Hua, what's wrong?"
Shen Hua sat down and came back to her senses when she heard him come over and ask her what was wrong.
"Xie Sichen, do you know what's so special about this bead you gave me?"
Xie Sichen looked at the beads in her hand, shook his head, and said, "There's nothing strange about them. Did you discover something?"
When Xie Sichen asked this question, although he was somewhat calm, you could still hear a hint of urgency in his voice.
Shen Hua didn't hide anything and said, "It's like this, I accidentally cut my hand just now, and the blood was absorbed by the bead, and..."
"What? You're injured? Let me check if you're alright."
Chen Hua: ...
"It's alright, that's exactly what I wanted to say. When this bead touched my injured finger, the bleeding stopped and the wound on my hand healed as well."
Xie Sichen stared at the beads in deep thought. After a while, he said, "This situation has never happened before."
My blood had touched this bead before, but it only scratched the bead and wasn't absorbed; the wound was still there.
As Xie Sichen said this, in order to make Shen Hua believe him more, he took a knife and cut his finger open, then held the bead in his hand.
Then he was somewhat surprised because his blood had been absorbed and his wound had healed.
As Xie Sichen looked at Shen Hua, Shen Hua also looked over, and the two stared at each other.
Seeing his silly expression, Chen Hua laughed. It was rare to see him with such an expression; it was quite cute.
How do you feel physically?
No.
Xie Sichen returned the bead to Shen Hua, but Shen Hua did not take it. Instead, she said, "Since this thing can heal, you should keep it! It can save your life."
Xie Sichen did not accept it, but instead placed the bead in her hand.
"No need, what's given to you is yours, you can't refuse it."
Chen Hua: ...
He seemed a little aggrieved.
"Alright, I'll keep it. If you get injured, come to me and I'll treat you."
Hearing her say that, Xie Sichen smiled, then helped her get a bowl of rice and handed it to her.
Shen Hua then realized it was time to eat; if she dawdled any longer, the food would get cold and lose its flavor.
Xie Sichen reacted quickly.
Seeing the carved box filled with beads and placed into her spatial dimension, Chen Hua began to feast, while also remembering to eat, she didn't forget that Inspector Xie Sichen was eating.
After the meal, Chen Hua didn't rest either. She carved a small pony, feeling that Xi Yi would ruin it.
Sure enough, just as dawn broke, she received several messages from Xiyi, all with little emojis indicating that the attempt had failed.
Xi Yi: "Sister Chen Hua, waaaah, I didn't succeed. I've decided to keep learning today. I can already carve one foot, but it's a bit ugly. Remember to teach me when you come to school. I'm so clumsy."
Little emoji, little emoji, little emoji.
Shen Hua: "If you can't learn it, then don't. I've already finished carving it. I'll give it to you when I get back to school."
Xi Yi: "Really? Sister Shen Hua, you're so kind. I love you. I'll be waiting for you at school."
Shen Hua replied with an "okay," then put down her phone and went out to wash up.
She also bought several Band-Aids when she went to school.
Given Xiyi's personality, it's possible she studied all night yesterday without rest, which is a minor issue compared to the fact that her hand must be injured.
She arrived quite early. When she got to the dormitory, she saw Xiyi sitting there, her head nodding and her eyes closed.
Shen Hua walked over without disturbing her, but caught her just as her head was about to fall to the ground.
Xi Yi was much more awake now. She reached out and wiped the corner of her mouth before grinning foolishly.
"Sister Chen Hua, you've arrived."
Shen Hua handed her the pony and breakfast, which Xi Yi accepted with delight.
"Wow! This little pony is so beautiful, and it's made of jade. Sister Chen Hua, you're amazing and so rich. This jade is very expensive, and you carved it like this. You're simply incredible."
