"What on earth is this?" Li Lizhi widened her eyes and stared at the small object in her hand in disbelief.
Such exquisite craftsmanship was beyond her imagination. She had never seen such an artifact since she was a child.
Li Haoze had a smug smile on his face, "Sister, try to open it and take a look."
Li Lizhi did as she was told and carefully explored the edge of the small object.
Suddenly, her fingertips touched a subtle opening, hidden beneath the surface of fine steel.
She pressed it gently, and heard a subtle and crisp "click" sound.
The small object seemed to come alive, slowly unfolding in her grasp.
As the object unfolds, an exquisite transparent glass screen comes into view.
What surprised her even more was that there were two thin needles of different lengths rotating on their own inside the glass screen!
Li Lizhi exclaimed in surprise and delight, "Oh my God! Where did this beautiful artifact come from?
"Xiaorangjun, please tell me why the two needles inside can move on their own?"
As a native of the Tang Dynasty, Li Lizhi naturally did not know what a pocket watch was.
Li Haoze looked at Li Lizhi's surprised and happy expression, and couldn't help feeling a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
He smiled and explained, "Sister, this little thing is called a pocket watch, and it's what we use to tell time over there.
The two needles inside, one represents the hours and the other represents the minutes.
They rotate over time, helping us keep track of time accurately..."
Li Lizhi listened with great interest and carefully observed the two thin needles in the pocket watch.
I saw them turning slowly, as if telling the passage of time.
She couldn't help but exclaim: "It's amazing!
With this pocket watch, we can keep track of time more accurately and no longer need to rely on sundials or clepsydras."
Li Haoze nodded and added, "That's right, sister.
Moreover, this pocket watch can be carried with you, which is very convenient.
No matter where you go, you can always check the time without worrying about missing important things. "
After hearing this, Li Lizhi liked the pocket watch even more. She held it tightly in her hand, as if she was holding the key to time.
She looked at Li Haoze gratefully and said, "Xiao Rangjun, you are so amazing!
This pocket watch is very useful to me and I will treasure it very much.”
"By the way, where did you get this pocket watch? Did you waste precious merit again?"
Li Haoze smiled mysteriously: "Sister, don't worry about where I got it from. Anyway, as long as you like it."
In fact, he exchanged this pocket watch from the mall using his attention points.
Although for modern people, pocket watches are considered to be relatively outdated.
But for people in the Tang Dynasty, pocket watches were definitely rare treasures.
"Alright! But don't waste your merits on giving gifts to my sister in the future!"
Li Lizhi warned softly, with deep concern in her eyes.
She gently stroked the "little princess"'s head, then turned to look at Xiao Chengyang beside her.
She said softly, "You two little ones, just wait here for your sister. I have something to ask Aye.
Remember, no quarreling, let alone fighting!"
Little Chengyang nodded obediently and responded crisply.
"Sister, don't worry, I will get along well with Xiao Rang-jun."
Li Haoze also said in a baby voice: "Sister, don't worry, we won't fight."
Li Lizhi looked at them with a warm smile in her eyes.
She gave a few more instructions and then turned and left the courtyard.
…
Li Haoze withdrew his gaze as he watched Li Lizhi's slender figure gradually walk away and finally disappear at the corner of the wall.
He was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly felt a surge of murderous aura coming towards him.
Li Haoze subconsciously turned his head to look.
But Xiao Chengyang, who had just looked friendly and got along well with him, suddenly changed his expression.
She stared at him with her big watery eyes, her hands on her hips, her brows furrowed, and she looked fierce and aggressive.
Seeing Li Haoze looking back, Xiao Chengyang couldn't wait to "threaten" him, "Hurry up and give me the pocket watch you gave to my sister!"
"If you don't tie it, I'm going to beat you up!!!" As she said this, she raised her tender little white fist.
Li Haoze looked at Xiao Chengyang's pretending to be fierce, feeling both amused and helpless.
He understood that the little girl saw the pocket watch he gave to Li Lizhi and was envious and wanted one too.
In fact, that pocket watch was not expensive in the value store.
Logically speaking, it wouldn't be difficult to send another piece to Xiao Chengyang.
However, that pocket watch was specially selected by him for Li Lizhi and has special meaning.
Therefore, he was unwilling to give another piece of the same one to Xiao Chengyang.
Even if he really wants to give a gift, he will choose a new and unique gift to express his unique care for Xiao Chengyang.
These thoughts flashed through Li Haoze's mind quickly, but he still maintained a gentle smile on his face.
He met Xiao Chengyang's pretended fierce gaze, spread his hands and looked helpless.
“Xiao Chengyang, it’s not that I don’t want to send it, but I really don’t have it now.
I got that pocket watch by chance. I only have one, and I gave it to Sister Li Zhi.
"But I can find you an equally special gift, okay?"
When Xiao Chengyang heard this, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
She was obviously tempted by Li Haoze's proposal, but in the end she still shook her head firmly.
"No, I want the same pocket watch as my sister. If my sister has one, I want one too!"
As she spoke, she threatened with an air of confidence that she was sure of Li Haoze's victory, "You bought that pocket watch with your merits!
You are a little divine beast, and you have done immeasurable good deeds. If you can exchange one, you can exchange a second one! Hurry up and exchange one for my sister's womb!"
Li Haoze looked at Xiao Chengyang's stubborn little face and knew that she was determined to have an identical pocket watch this time.
He sighed in his heart, this little girl is really difficult to deal with.
However, he really didn't want to give away the same pocket watch again.
Li Haoze thought for a moment, and an idea suddenly came to his mind. He immediately bought a small alarm clock in the shape of a pink rabbit head in the value store.
This small alarm clock has a unique design and is very different from a pocket watch, but it also has the function of accurately displaying time.
He held the small alarm clock and showed it to Xiao Chengyang with a smile.
"Xiao Chengyang, look at this. Although it's not a pocket watch, it can still tell us the exact time.
Also, look at how interesting the shape of this rabbit head is, isn’t it cute?”
Li Haoze tried to use this novel little alarm clock to divert Xiao Chengyang's attention.
However, Xiao Chengyang did not buy it.
