“Really?” Rongshu looked at the man with unblinking eyes.
The man nodded, “Really, don’t believe me, hand it over?”
Rongshu didn’t say anything, only handed over the carving knife.
After taking it, the man took two steps forward and stood where she had just stood, picking up the pumpkin she had carved like mud and carefully examining it, as if he was trying to decide where it would be better to start improving it first.
Rongshu didn’t know what the man was planning to do, but when she saw the man holding the carving knife and the pumpkin she had carved and not moving, she thought the man had finally realised that things were not as simple and easy as he had said at the beginning.
The man’s slender fingers were holding the carving knife and were carving the pumpkin one by one, quite fast, not like a novice at all, but a teacher with many years of carving experience.
Rongshu’s red lips opened slightly in surprise, “You’re so skilled, when did you know how to carve? You didn’t learn food carving when you were learning to cook, did you?”
After all, food carving was also a part of the culinary arts.
But there were very few people who could learn it, basically it was only those who had dreams of becoming a hotel chef or a sous chef in some fancy restaurants who would learn it.
Only in such positions would food carving come in handy.
The chefs of ordinary small restaurants, however, are only able to prepare home-cooked dishes, and in home-cooked dishes, there is no complex food carving.
Although Fu Jingting has recently been learning to cook, what he has learnt are the home-cooked dishes of the major cuisines, not those delicate and beautiful dishes.
Therefore, it was impossible for her not to be surprised that he knew how to carve food.
“Didn’t learn.” Unexpectedly, Fu Jingting’s answer was that he hadn’t learnt it.
Surprised, Rongshu walked over to him and looked at the movements in his hands, her expression becoming even more surprised, “Never learnt? Then how did you know how to do it? And it looks so skilled!”
Fu Jingting seriously carved the object in his hand, without looking up, and only laughed lightly back, “I learnt jade carving for a while in high school.”
“Jade carving?”
“Mm.” Fu Jingting slightly lifted his chin, “At that time, my grandmother’s birthday, I wanted to give a special gift, but I didn’t know what to give, behind me Zhang Cheng suggested I give a statue of the Goddess of Mercy.”
“Oh, I see.” Rongshu clapped her hands, “Grandmother believes in Buddhism, giving a Guanyin statue is indeed very appropriate.”
Fu Jingting gave a hint, “Not bad, but grandmother has many Guan Yin statues, and those statues are all from the heads of major carving masters, so if I were to give another Guan Yin statue carved by one of those carving masters, to grandmother, it would just be one more identical statue, nothing too unusual.”
“So, you went to learn jade carving specifically just to give grandmother the feeling of seeing the Guanyin statue and having it shine before her eyes?” Rongshu rubbed her chin and guessed.
Fu Jingting hooked his lips, “Almost. Besides that, at that time, because of my heart condition, I couldn’t do many things, and I felt like an invalid, so the difference made me even have symptoms of mania and rage. If you are not in a good state of mind, you won’t be able to learn.”
“In other words, if you hadn’t learnt jade carving, you would have put a greater burden on your heart because of your irritability, so much so that it’s possible that your heart wouldn’t even be able to support you until you had a new one?” Rongshu asked, biting her lip.
Fu Jingting nodded his head, “That’s right.”
Rong Shu’s heart contracted violently, then she stepped back behind him, hugged him from behind and rested her head on his sturdy back.
Fu Jingting’s body was stunned, and the carving in his hand stopped, obviously stunned by the woman’s sudden move.
He put down the carving knife in his hand and slightly twisted his head to look at the woman behind him. ww.ysHuge.ORg
The woman was holding him and his head could not rotate in a wide arc, so he could not see the woman’s overall appearance, only a part of her body and the side of her face, but even so, his eyes were still gentle and doting, “What’s wrong? Why are you so proactive today?”
“I’m not the one taking the initiative.” Rongshu raised her head and gave the man’s side face a white glance, before lowering her head again and resting her forehead against the man’s vest out, her red lips lightly opened, her voice muffled and with a few moments of celebration, “I’m just celebrating that it’s fortunate that a*sistant Zhang suggested you give the Guanyin back then, otherwise you wouldn’t have thought of learning jade carving. ”
She couldn’t go on, her voice was tinged with a slight tremble and choking, as well as fear.
She was in fear that he did not learn jade carving back then, did not cultivate his heart to support to find the right heart and die back then.
The woman’s mood is not good at the moment, Fu Jingting put down the pumpkin in his hand, turned around, hugged the woman tightly, chin rubbed the top of the woman’s head, soft voice soothing, “Well, I’m not fine, don’t be afraid, that’s all in the past, now I, is not good?”
As he said that, he rubbed the woman’s hair.
The strength was slightly strong, but it was also to let her know that he was really fine at this moment, standing right in front of her, that he was not an illusion, so that she could stop thinking and being afraid.
Rongshu lifted her head, her eyes a little red, “I know you’re fine now, but what happened back then, it was still quite scary and dangerous, it was that close of a call, if it wasn’t for a*sistant Zhang’s advice, if you didn’t take a*sistant Zhang’s advice, you now …… Now there’s not even you!”
Fu Jingting’s eyes were full of laughter, “But it turns out that Zhang Cheng made the suggestion and I accepted it didn’t I?”
“And what if you hadn’t then?”
“There is no eventuality.” Fu Jingting returned in all seriousness.
Rongshu pursed her lips, “How so?”
“Don’t forget, at that time, you and I were already pen pals.” Fu Jingting gently pinched her face, “I remember, at that time, we had already been pen pals for two years, although I hadn’t fallen in love with you yet, I had already developed an interest in you, I always knew that I needed to calm down and adjust my mind, I couldn’t be grumpy anymore, so when Zhang Cheng made the suggestion, the first thing I thought of was to learn jade carving and adjust my mentality, only then could I live longer and have more time to persevere in finding the right heart to meet you in the future.”
“So, in order to see me, you are not going to refuse a*sistant Zhang’s offer, right?” Rongshu huffed and looked at the man.
The man lowered his head and dropped a gentle to the core kiss above her somewhat wet eyes, his voice gloomy and pleasant as he replied, “Of course, so can you rest easy now?”
Rongshu hummed and rested her forehead against his chest, not speaking anymore, as a tacit agreement.
Fu Jingting laughed lightly, wrapping one arm around her waist and placing one hand on the back of her head, gently rubbing it, coaxing her like a child.
Rongshu leaned into his arms, slightly curling the corners of her mouth, also enjoying the way he coaxed her.
What woman would not want to live as a child?
What woman doesn’t like it when her lover spoils her like a child?
Anyway, she liked it.
But Rong Shu knew what time it was, and she couldn’t keep warming up with Fu Jingting.
So after Fu Jingting had hugged her for about two minutes, she took the initiative to get out of Fu Jingting’s arms and raised her smiling face to look at the man who was still slightly baffled.
The man seemed to be wondering why she wouldn’t let him hug her anymore, right?
