Over the next few days, Qiao Xiyan clearly felt that Tang Jingci was avoiding him and spending almost every day with Duan Linbai.

She would be leaving China in a few days. Since she had already confird her intention to cooperate with Duan Linbai, she naturally had to make so arrangents and further discuss the details. Then there was one ti...

When Qiao Xiyan returned from his morning exercise, he saw Duan Linbai coming out of Tang Jingci’s room with dark circles under his eyes.

“Don’t send off. Hurry up and go to sleep. You haven’t rested all night.” Duan Linbai yawned and said goodbye to the person at the door.

“It must have been hard on you last night.” Tang Jingci looked very energetic.

Duan Linbai’s eyes were dark circles, and his face was pale. At this mont, he was even less energetic, as if his essence had been sucked dry by a demon.

“It wasn’t hard. It’s what I should do. It’s just that my waist is stiff from being busy all night.” Duan Linbai smiled. “You worked hard too.”

The two of them exchanged pleasantries and said goodbye. Duan Linbai turned his head and saw Qiao Xiyan, who had just returned from exercising.

He was wearing simple sportswear and holding a water bottle in his hand. His short hair was wet and sticking to his forehead. His eyes were as deep as the sea, making Duan Linbai’s heart skip a beat. “Good morning, Mr. Qiao.”

“Yesterday, you two...” Qiao Xiyan raised his eyebrows. “Were you together all night?”

“Miss Tang is full of energy. I can’t do anything about it either. Ah, I’m really getting old, and I can’t take it anymore. I have to go back and catch up on my sleep. Goodbye.” Duan Linbai quickly got into the elevator.

Qiao Xiyan glanced at Tang Jingci standing at the door, his expression unreadable.

“Senior Brother, wait a minute. I have sothing for you.” Tang Jingci walked into the room.

Qiao Xiyan stood at the door. It wasn’t closed.

“Co in and wait. It’s a bit of a ss here. I need to look for it.” Tang Jingci was squatting on the floor and looking for sothing.

When Qiao Xiyan entered, the room was indeed very ssy. The floor was full of specialty products, and the bed was full of various docunts and papers. The blanket hadn’t been moved at all. The two of them chatted about work all night?

Tang Jingci finally took out a box from a bag and handed it to him. “I’ve troubled you a lot these days and delayed you for so long. This is a small token of my appreciation.”

Qiao Xiyan took the box. It was a little heavy.

“Open it and take a look.” Tang Jingci looked at him expectantly.

Qiao Xiyan opened the clasp. Inside were five exquisite carving knives. They were different from ordinary knives. The handles were wrapped in iron and jade, and there seed to be so delicate chanisms.

“The handle of these carving knives can be changed. If the blade is broken, it can be changed directly. It’s very convenient. Furthermore...” Tang Jingci picked up one of the carving knives and casually picked up a stone, wanting to show him sothing.

This was the first ti the two of them were alone after the forceful kiss.

Tang Jingci originally wanted to give him the things and send him away. But when she saw the carving knives, her hands started itching uncontrollably. She wanted to explain all the uses of the carving knives to him, and...

Previously, she had embarrassed herself in front of him, so she wanted to regain her dignity.

She took a deep breath. It’s ti to show my true skills.

Qiao Xiyan walked over and looked down from behind her.

Tang Jingci picked up the stone and twisted the carving knife. “For example, carving my na. Look here. If you turn it slightly, the edge of the blade will be different. This is a flat edge, and the edge is very thin. If it’s tilted like this, the texture will be slightly deeper...”

As soon as she made a cut, Qiao Xiyan suddenly lowered his body, and his hot breath landed on the side of her face.

She was so shocked that her fingers trembled. The blade slanted and rubbed against her nails...

She almost cut her fingers.

Qiao Xiyan frowned and suddenly reached out to hold her hand...

He was embracing her from behind. His body was pressing tightly against hers, and his arms were touching hers. “Have you ever learned how to hold a knife? Keep your wrist steady. Don’t shake! Don’t shake!”

“Okay.” Tang Jingci subconsciously moved forward, trying to leave his control.

“You’re good at carving characters...”

“How do you know?” When Tang Jingci just started learning how to carve, she had learned how to carve characters. At the ti, she had been unwilling to learn Chinese characters and had even been hit by her father. He said that she couldn’t forget her ancestors and be unable to write Chinese.

Thus, she had learned how to write beautiful Chinese characters.

“Didn’t you carve that I’m a bastard before?”

Tang Jingci was embarrassed. How did he know about this? He has such good eyesight?

“Don’t shake the knife. Your calluses are all gone. Pay attention. Be careful not to peel off your skin and flesh!” Qiao Xiyan reminded.

“Okay.” Tang Jingci retracted her hand. Qiao Xiyan’s arms didn’t pull away but instead wrapped around her and carved on the stone. He moved quickly..
