Xia Tian smiled and said, "I carved it last night. As for carving, my grandfather taught me when I was a child."
"Last night? Could it be that after dinner last night you were busy there for a long time, just tinkering with this thing?" When Qiu Mengyun heard Xia Tian say that it was carved last night, she immediately remembered that Xia Tian seemed to be tinkering with something mysteriously after dinner last night.
Xia Tian nodded: "Yes, it was carved at that time."
"No wonder you are so confident. You said you could let me eat lobster for free. It turns out you have prepared such a killer move!" Qiu Mengyun said with a smile.
Xia Tian shook his head. "Actually, I'm not too confident about this either. After all, leaf paintings, while rare, are worthless if no one else appreciates them. Before he agreed, I was feeling very nervous."
"Tsk! Stop pretending in front of me. I didn't see any sign of lack of confidence in you just now. I saw that the tone of your voice before was very confident! Besides, your carving is so good, I think anyone would be happy to trade with you." Qiu Mengyun didn't believe what he said at all. In her opinion, the boss was the one who made a profit by exchanging a meal with Xia Tian for an elaborately carved leaf painting.
"Actually, it's not as difficult as you think. It's just a matter of practice makes perfect." Xia Tian smiled modestly.
"Hmph! You didn't tell me such an important thing in advance. I'm very angry now." Qiu Mengyun, who was smiling just now, suddenly changed her expression for some reason.
Xia Tian asked in surprise, "Uh, what's going on? We were fine just now, why are you still angry? I didn't hide it from you on purpose. I mainly wanted to give you a surprise, and secondly, I was afraid that if I boasted too much to you, you would end up rejecting me and make me embarrassed."
Qiu Mengyun said with a straight face, "I'm not angry because you didn't tell me in advance. I'm angry that the first painting you carved was for a stranger. We've been together for quite a while, why haven't you ever carved one of my paintings for me?"
"Ah? Are you angry about this?" Xia Tian was obviously a little surprised after hearing the reason why Qiu Mengyun was angry.
"What else? Don't you think that as your girlfriend, I should be the first person to receive such a gift?" Qiu Mengyun said righteously.
"Right, right, right! You're right. I was negligent. I'll pay attention next time! When I have time someday, I'll carve one for you. It will definitely be better and more exquisite than the one I made for my boss."
"Actually, I was thinking of carving one for you first. But since I haven't carved in years, I was worried my skills wouldn't be good enough to perfectly capture your beauty. So I decided to carve one for the boss first. Firstly, it will allow us to get a free lobster meal. Secondly, it will give me some practice and get more familiar with the feel of the carving, so I can be more confident carving for you next time."
After spending these days together, Xia Tian had a certain understanding of Qiu Mengyun. So he knew exactly what words to say to make her happy.
"Do you really think so?" Although she was a little skeptical about what Xia Tian said, it was obvious that Qiu Mengyun benefited greatly from his words.
"Of course, I would never lie to you. You know, I never lie to anyone." Xia Tian quickly assured.
"Just stop it. Have you forgotten that you always say this before you lie to someone?" Hearing Xia Tian say the classic line "I never lie to anyone" again, Qiu Mengyun rolled her eyes at him.
"Ahem! I'm used to it." Xia Tian smiled awkwardly.
The audience in the live broadcast room were all enthusiastically discussing the leaf painting that Xia Tian had carved.
: Damn, this guy Xia Tian is really talented. I didn’t expect that he is not only talented in music, but also proficient in carving.
Ahhh! I really want to learn how to carve a leaf. Where can I find a course on this? This is a perfect way to pick up girls. What girl would be indifferent to seeing a guy carve a picture of herself out of a leaf?
: Don’t even think about the above post. If you want to make the sculptures as lifelike and vivid as Xia Tian’s, it will take at least three to five years of hard work.
: Alas. Qiu Mengyun was completely manipulated by Xia Tian. She knew that the other party was lying, but she was still manipulated by just a few words.
: Bullshit, what girl doesn't like to hear nice words? Especially when it comes from a handsome and talented guy like Xia Tian.
: I also want a leaf painting like the boss's. Could you please ask the production team if Xia Tian can carve one for me? I'd love to treat him to a meal, anywhere he wants.
: I want to draw +1, please ask the program team for help.
：Please draw +.
"What are you two talking about? It's so lively."
Just when Xia Tian was happily chatting with Qiu Mengyun, the boss who had just left came over with a big plate full of lobsters.
Two waiters followed behind him, one of them holding a plate of cold dishes and a stir-fried dish, while the other held a stack of cups and a shot of draft beer.
Xia Tian smiled and said, "Nothing. She just asked me when I carved that leaf. She also gave me some feedback, saying that I had never made a similar leaf painting for her before."
"Really? This girl is your girlfriend, right? Even she hasn't received it yet, but I received it first?" Hearing Xia Tian's words, the boss's face showed surprise.
Xia Tian nodded: "Yes, you are definitely the first person to receive this gift from me."
"Hahaha! Thank you so much, brother. No more words. We two brothers must not go home until we are drunk tonight." The boss laughed happily. He took out two cups and filled them with draft beer. He was going to drink one with Xia Tian first.
Xia Tian was not pretentious. After clinking glasses, he picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to wait for us, just eat. Here is the menu, if there is anything you want to eat, please ask them to bring it. Although I also ordered a few dishes, I don't know if they suit your appetite." After drinking with Xia Tian, the boss greeted Qiu Mengyun who was standing beside him.
Qiu Mengyun smiled and nodded, "No need to bother, we can just eat something casually."
Xia Tian also smiled and said, "Yeah, boss, don't serve too much. After all, we only have one leaf, and we won't have to pay after we finish eating. The more dishes you serve, the more you lose."
"What are you talking about? Are you looking down on me? I tell you, if you want to eat lobster in the future, just come to my place. When you come, just eat it. If you want to pay, I will be angry with you." The boss said with pretended displeasure.
"In that case, we won't be polite! Mengyun, eat as much as you want. We must eat our fill today. Otherwise, it would be unfair for me to give him the first leaf painting."
Xia Tian smiled, picked up the lobster on the table, put it on Qiu Mengyun's plate, and invited her to eat with him.
