Ao Li held Shui Yiyao's hand in one hand and her handbag in the other, and walked into the New City Research Center together.
Three days is too short. If possible, he wants to change the trial period to three weeks, three months, or even three years.
"It's getting colder."
The two walked through the courtyard. Shui Yiyao looked at the marble green belt next to her, where some icy mist hung.
She held Ao Li's big hand tightly. This man was really warm.
Ao Li pinched her fingers and said, "I have prepared a gift for you."
Shui Yiyao looked up at him with a smile in her eyes. She was a little surprised and curious, and immediately asked, "What is it?"
She paused, and her smile changed subtly.
"Eight stoves, isn't it?"
Ao Li squeezed her hand, tilted his head to look into her eyes, and said helplessly, "No."
Shui Yiyao couldn't help but smile: "What is that?"
Ao Li: "I'll show you in a moment, and you'll understand when you see it."
Shui Yiyao: "Oh."
After a while, Ao Li walked forward while looking sideways at her, as if waiting for something.
Shui Yiyao also looked at him: "What's wrong?"
Ao Li: "Aren't you curious? Don't you want to ask?"
She suddenly had a bad idea and shook her head: "We'll know after we see it later."
Ao Li: “…”
Seeing that he was speechless after hearing his own words, Shui Yiyao couldn't help but laugh: "What on earth is that?"
She was really curious. Ao Li had been busy lately, but he actually prepared a gift for her? She didn't know how he prepared it.
Shui Yiyao stretched out her hand in front of Ao Li: "Let me see."
Ao Li shook his head: "It's in the laboratory."
In the lab?
If she remembered correctly, the last time she went to that lab, it was filled with bottles and jars, all kinds of chemicals, and everyone had to undergo full body disinfection before entering. Ao Li had an office here. Why would he leave the gift in the lab?
She withdrew her hand, but still asked curiously, "What is it?"
Ao Li led her forward and said, "It's hand cream."
Shui Yiyao looked at him.
She has bought a lot of hand creams, but most of them are not effective enough for the intensity of jade carving work, and it is common to get frostbite on her hands in winter.
It will be extremely painful.
It is still early winter, and her hands are just a little cold, not cold enough to get frostbite.
However, she also found that the protection capabilities of mainstream hand creams on the market are not enough, and it would be difficult to find one that suits her situation.
She didn't know which one Ao Li was looking for, but no matter which one it was, she was very happy.
No one had ever given her hand cream.
Ao Li added: "Winter is coming, remember to use it. This way your hands won't get hurt."
Jade carving is a wet job. The faucet must be kept on while carving, and your hands will get wet. It’s okay in the summer, but when winter comes, your hands will definitely be frozen if you are not careful.
If you use this ointment, you will feel much better.
The hand care ingredient used this time is red seaweed fermentation, which is his current research project. It is a patented ingredient used to keep some easily inactivated drugs warm and moisturizing.
Shui Yiyao nodded: "I understand."
After saying that, she smiled again: "What a coincidence, I also prepared a gift for you."
Ao Li looked at her again, his expression surprised: "What is it?"
Shui Yiyao looked at her handbag in Ao Li's hand: "It's in the bag. There's a small jade box. Take it yourself."
Ao Li reached into his bag, then paused.
Shui Yiyao: "What's wrong?"
"Let's go to the lab and see."
Shui Yiyao nodded: "Okay."
After a while, Ao Li asked again, "Is it a jade carving?"
He likes her jade carvings.
Shui Yiyao didn't say anything, just looked at the laboratory door in front of her: "We're here."
The weather is dry and cold in winter. On the way here, I didn’t meet anyone except the security personnel.
"Director Ao." The security guard at the laboratory door greeted Ao Li, looked at the women's handbag in his hand, was a little surprised, and then looked at Shui Yiyao.
"Mr. Shui."
He said that while Ao Yuan was a gentleman, he wasn't the gentleman who helped someone carry their bag. This made sense, as this wasn't his first time. And now the news has spread throughout the institute, claiming it was Ao Yuan himself who said he had successfully held hands with this girl.
It seems to be true.
Shui Yiyao also smiled and nodded, saying hello: "Hello, Brother Sun."
Brother Sun turned around and opened the electronic door of the laboratory: "Teacher Ao Yuanshui, are you still working on the weekend?"
He knew that Ao Yuan was so busy that he had no weekends off. But didn't Teacher Shui have any of that?
Shui Yiyao smiled and said, "After I finish my work, I'll have a weekend off."
Ao Li also said, "My fiancée is preparing for the league, so she's been quite busy lately." He added, "She's representing Hua Guofang in the jade carving league against Xiaoshan Country."
Shui Yiyao looked at him: "..." This man had a proud look on his face, as if she had already won the championship.
The security guard's eyes lit up and he gave Shui Yiyao a thumbs-up: "A perfect match, young and promising!"
Shui Yiyao was silent for three seconds: "Thank you, brother. I'm fine."
The door opened, and Ao Li opened the inner door of the laboratory by matching facial features.
After entering, there is a small disinfection room.
Shui Yiyao stood in the disinfection chamber with ease, with her arms open, waiting for Ao Li to disinfect her.
Ao Li stood in front of the disinfection chamber and began to operate.
"Close your eyes and turn around."
Soon, the two of them underwent routine full-body disinfection and entered the laboratory.
After Ao Li led the person in, he placed the handbag on the cabinet.
Shui Yiyao followed him and asked, "Ao Yuan, where is my gift?"
"Up there."
Ao Li walked over to a cabinet and looked up. He took out a small key from his pocket, opened the top door, and took out a small box.
"Put it this high."
Shui Yiyao looked at it with curiosity.
The box was taken down. It was a jade box, it looked like jasper, shiny and glossy, and the box was square. It looked quite large, as if it was to hold a jade seal.
The hand cream comes in this box?
"Here you go." Ao Li handed the thing to Shui Yiyao with both hands.
Shui Yiyao took the box.
The bottom right corner of the box says
Yuyu
The two characters were written in clear, sharp handwriting, with a heart symbol carved on each side. The two heart symbols were also neatly arranged, clearly Ao Li's handwriting.
Shui Yiyao was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud. It was kind of cute.
There is a mini lock hanging at the opening of the box, which is a digital combination lock.
You have to open the combination lock before you can open the box.
Shui Yiyao glanced at Ao Li and asked, "Password?"
"Your birthday."
Shui Yiyao gently dialed the combination lock and dialed the number to 1110.
This is the birthday of the mermaid princess Shui Yiyao.
She paused, then dialed the number again, stopping at 1010. This was her real birthday.
One month earlier than Shui Yiyao's.
With a click, the small lock popped open gently.
She looked up at him: "You still remember my birthday."
"Of course." Ao Li added, "Look inside."
Shui Yiyao took off the small lock and opened the lid of the box.
Inside was a small jar, which was actually as big as the jade seal.
It was a small jar made of white porcelain.
Shui Yiyao placed the box on the counter and gently took the small jar out of the box with both hands.
He unscrewed the lid and took a sniff.
There is no greasy smell and the texture looks like transparent jelly.
Ao Li: "You try it."
Shui Yiyao took a little from it and put it on the back of her hand.
His eyes lit up.
Unexpectedly useful.
Although it doesn't have a high-end fragrance, it doesn't have any strange smell. It dissolves like water when applied to your hands. The user experience is very good.
Ao Li waited for a moment, looked at Shui Yiyao's hand, then looked into her eyes, and asked, "How is it?"
Shui Yiyao smiled and nodded twice: "It's the best hand cream I've ever used. I like it."
The design of this jar is also very unique. It has two layers of lid and a vacuum layer, which seems to have a good preservation function.
Hearing Shui Yiyao say that she liked him, Ao Li looked relieved.
He then asked, "Where's my gift?"
"Wait." Shui Yiyao carefully closed the lid of the jar, put it back into the jade box, and locked it. She was about to change the numbers, but after thinking about it, she changed the number on the small lock to 0809.
Ao Li also saw it and his Adam's apple moved.
August 9th is his birthday.
Shui Yiyao carefully placed the jade box on the cabinet.
After putting it away, she took back the handbag from the counter that Ao Li had placed next to it after he came in.
She opened the bag and took out a small box made of black jade. It had no carvings on it and was very clean.
Compared with Ao Li's jade box, this box is very small.
She handed the small jade box to Ao Li with both hands: "This is for you."
Ao Li reached out to take it. He looked at Shui Yiyao's expression before slowly unbuttoning the small buckle of the box and opening it.
There was a black jade plaque placed upright inside.
The jade token was not big and could fit neatly in the palm of your hand.
He took out the jade token from inside.
This jade plaque is pure black. What’s strange is that there are no carved patterns on the front or back of this small plaque. It is just a jade plaque.
"Nothing to worry about." Ao Li recognized it and looked at Shui Yiyao.
Wu Shi Pai is a popular collectible in the jade carving circle.
Shui Yiyao nodded seriously: "Yes, it's a peace card. I hope you are safe and all your wishes come true."
A "wushi" (Wushi) plaque is a jade plaque with no carvings on either side. Its original meaning is "unadorned plaque," but it also translates to "nothing," meaning peace and tranquility. Buddhism teaches that "nothing is something," meaning that to have nothing is to have everything. This is why it's also called a wishing plaque. Legend has it that making a wish with a "wushi" plaque will grant it.
Ao Li lowered his head again and looked carefully at the "Nothing to Worry" card in his hand.
Although it has no carvings, it is clearly carefully polished, with rounded corners and lines, and smooth transitions between surfaces. It feels very comfortable in the hand. It's like it was born this way.
But it couldn't have been born like this; it was Yu Yu's masterpiece.
He looked at it carefully again and found some processing on the head of the card for threading the rope.
There is a thin metallic luster.
"Iron Jade?"
In the center of the jade plaque, there was a thin, horizontal silver-black line that shone with a metallic luster. He reached out and touched it. The line had no protrusions or depressions, as if it were a natural part of the jade plaque itself.
But it cannot be natural, such a seamless whole is also a masterpiece of Yu Yu.
Shui Yiyao nodded: "It's Tieyu. This is my most successful work so far."
Although it was only a short straight line, less than two centimeters long, and not a complete work, it was a success after all. Moreover, for this Wu Shi board, this was enough.
Shui Yiyao asked, "Is Dean Ao satisfied?"
Ao Li: "Perfect."
He gently stroked the jade token, feeling its warmth and delicate touch: "I couldn't be more satisfied."
Tieyu was a new skill she had just learned. She practiced it very seriously and hard every day. However, despite the hard work, there were always more failures than successes. He knew this.
It must not be easy for her to do this.
Shui Yiyao smiled even more broadly and looked at the iron jade token: "As long as you like it, Dean Ao."
She took some time out of her busy schedule to make this sign. It took her a whole week just to select the tamarisk material. Because she was in a hurry, she even paid a little more for the material.
But he really likes it, that's good.
She picked up the box of hand cream from the cabinet, held it in both hands, and then walked to the side, where the test bench was.
"Let's get started." She walked to the experimental recliner with familiarity and sat down.
She placed the box on the small cabinet next to the recliner.
This cabinet contains a lot of her medicines, water cups, and an ECG monitor.
"There's quite a bit of medicine this time."
Every time I come for the experiment, I mainly take various medicines.
This time, the medicine boxes on the cabinet next to her were filled with a lot of pills and tablets. She had been here for three days, and there were more than twenty medicine boxes.
She picked it up and looked at it carefully. The time was written on the box.
The schedule is not regular, but it can be seen that the medicine needs to be taken seven or eight times a day, and about ten pills are taken at a time.
So many? Seventy or eighty pills a day, more than ever before, I feel like I could eat them as a meal.
She pursed her lips and looked at the notes on the medicine box. The most recent one would be in two hours.
"If I eat this, do I not have to eat?"
Hearing Shui Yiyao's question, Ao Li put his jade token into the left pocket of his shirt and walked over.
"You can't eat anything this time, just focus on fluids."
Not eating for three days!
Shui Yiyao pretended to be indifferent: "I understand."
After she finished speaking, she turned on the ECG monitor with ease and gave herself an ECG.
Ao Li walked over and touched her head: "It will be difficult, you have to be patient."
