"Leave this to me. Are you used to it at the Medical University?" Zhan Yihan asked. After the actual combat exercise, the first thing he did when he returned to the army was to call Jin Yue, but her phone was always unreachable. So he called Yuan Xing to ask about Jin Yue. He guessed that Jin Yue's phone was in her storage bag, which was why he couldn't get through.
Su Jinyue smiled and nodded. "I'm used to it. I've even made a few friends. Yihan, how about we give each other jade?" She still had a lot of raw jade in her storage bag. Any one of them would be priceless. If the jade were carved into a longevity peach, it would definitely be a wonderful birthday gift.
Zhan Yihan thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go to the jewelry store tomorrow to see if there's anything suitable." Jin Yue had to go to school now, so of course he couldn't ask her to take a leave just for him.
"No need to go to the jewelry store. Have you forgotten that I bought a lot of raw stones last time in Yuncheng? How about we carve one out and carve it into a longevity peach as a birthday gift?" Su Jinyue thought her idea was great, but she didn't know if Yihan would agree. After all, he was more familiar with Mr. Bai.
"Okay!" Zhan Yihan agreed with a smile. He also thought this was a good idea!
"Then let me pick and see which piece of jade is more suitable for carving into a longevity peach." As Su Jinyue spoke, she had already taken out the raw stone from the storage bag, and at the same time, her eyes penetrated into the raw stones to observe them one by one.
"What a coincidence! I just happened to find a piece of pink jade," Su Jinyue said happily. Pure pink jade is quite rare, and usually has a hint of purple. Among the burial objects of Empress Dowager Cixi during the Qing Dynasty were ten peaches carved from pink jade.
He put away all the other jadeite, leaving only the rough stone containing the pink jadeite. "Yihan, let's cut it open and take a look."
Zhan Yihan nodded, walked forward, and took out the short knife he bought in Liulichang last time, "How do you cut it?" With his current strength, he could easily split the stone even without a knife.
"Cut from here, and then from here." Su Jinyue squatted down beside Zhan Yihan, and drew on the raw stone with her fingers as she spoke.
Zhan Yihan nodded in understanding and began to cut the raw stone with the short knife in his hand. The raw stone seemed hard, but under the short knife, it was as soft as tofu and was easily cut through. He still hadn't figured out what material the short knife in his hand was made of. It looked rusty on the surface, but it could cut through iron like mud.
"This knife is incredibly sharp. You can't tell from the outside," Su Jinyue exclaimed. Yi Han had wiped the rust off the dagger last time, but no matter how hard she tried, it wouldn't come off. She hadn't thought much of it at first, but after reading the formation book, she suspected there might be a formation restriction on the dagger. It's just that her formation skills were too low to detect.
The jade inside was quickly cut out by Zhan Yihan. It was a piece of pink jade as big as a football, with a delicate, pure and flawless texture, and a pure, bright and crystal clear color.
"So beautiful!" Su Jinyue looked at the jade in front of her with admiration. The cut jade was even more eye-catching than the raw stone.
Zhan Yihan nodded in agreement, "This piece is indeed a rare treasure."
"Is it too late to find someone to carve it now?" Su Jinyue thought of this question and asked. Mr. Bai's birthday was in two days. She didn't know if it would be too late.
"I can carve myself," Zhan Yihan said. Joining a special forces unit not only requires completing difficult missions but also learning various skills. This is because they could infiltrate a certain faction as an undercover agent at any time. Being an undercover agent, they must blend in with that faction and remain invisible. Therefore, learning more skills can reduce the risk. He learned carving because he was going undercover in a faction in Myanmar, posing as a carver's apprentice.
"You can carve?" Su Jinyue asked in surprise. Then she remembered a wooden doll he had given her in a previous life. That doll looked very similar to her. She remembered asking him how he had bought that doll. Now that she thought about it, she realized he must have carved that doll himself.
"I've learned a little," Zhan Yihan said with a curled lip. He was thinking that he wouldn't be able to use up all of this large piece of jade, so he could carve something for Jin Yue and give her a surprise.
"Then I'm looking forward to your finished product." Su Jinyue said with anticipation. The more she spent time with Yihan, the more she felt he was excellent. How could she have been so blind in her previous life? How could she not have realized how good he was?
Zhan Yihan smiled and nodded, looked at the time and said, "You should go and have some rest, you have to go to school tomorrow." He started carving overnight, so two days should be enough.
"I'm not sleepy. Do you want to start carving now?" Seeing Zhan Yihan nod, Su Jinyue said, "I want to look at you." They were only together for three days in total, and she really didn't want to waste every minute with him.
"You won't have energy tomorrow if you don't sleep." Zhan Yihan looked at Su Jinyue tenderly. He also wanted to be with her every minute.
"Just practice for a while in the morning." Su Jinyue winked playfully. Since she started practicing, she rarely slept at night, and basically used it to practice and improve her strength.
Zhan Yihan shook his head helplessly, smiled dotingly, picked up the jadeite on the ground, and said, "Let's go into the house." If she was tired, she could take a nap in the house, and he could see her every minute.
"Yeah!" Su Jinyue nodded with a smile.
When she entered the room, Su Jinyue took out the night pearl, and suddenly the whole room became as bright as day.
Zhan Yihan looked at the pink jadeite, thought for a moment, then picked up the dagger and began carving. The length of the dagger was just right for carving.
Su Jinyue moved a chair and sat next to Zhan Yihan. Looking at his perfect profile and serious expression, she became a little dazed. Maybe this is what it feels like to love someone. Just looking at him can give her a deep sense of satisfaction.
Feeling Su Jinyue's gaze, Zhan Yihan turned his head and gave her a gentle smile. Just looking at her like this made him feel very happy. That feeling made him more satisfied and happy than completing his mission.
The night passed in a flash.
It was not until Su Yanxi came to call them for breakfast that Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan realized that day had already dawned.
The two smiled at each other, Zhan Yihan stopped carving, took Su Jinyue's hand and walked into the bathroom. He planned to wait until Jinyue went to school before continuing carving.
He helped Su Jinyue squeeze the toothpaste onto her toothbrush, squeezed his own toothpaste onto her toothbrush, and stood side by side with her in front of the mirror to brush their teeth.
Their eyes met in the mirror, and they smiled contentedly. If only they could do this every day.
