Instructing her daughter to practice throwing knives, the police were frightened and asked to file

"Huh? Qin Tian, ​​who is looking for you? Do you really have something to do tomorrow?" When everyone heard this, they immediately started gossiping and wanted to see who it was.

But Qin Tian knew that this should be An Shu's reply to him, so he was a little embarrassed to show it to others. He secretly picked up the phone and saw that it was indeed An Shu, asking him to go to the wood carving exhibition in the afternoon.

Thinking that the other party had taken the initiative, and that he did have a good impression of An Shu, he could not refuse, so he made an excuse to He Xuxiao and the others: "It's a relative of mine who knows that I'm going abroad and wants me to have dinner with him tomorrow. I won't go with you tomorrow, so you guys go ahead."

"So that's how it is. There's nothing we can do about it. Let's go. Then I can take you to see my grandparents. My house is big, so you can stay there at night." He Xuxiao said, "If you are free at night, come over and sit with us."

"Okay, I'll go when I'm free." Qin Tian replied.

……

at night.

Qin Tian has replied to An Shu and agreed to go to the wood carving exhibition together tomorrow.

But he was worried at the moment, would tomorrow be considered a date? If it was a date, would Anshu need to bring a gift?
So, since he had nothing to do, he went outside and picked up a piece of wood, ready to carve a wooden sculpture for Anshu as a gift.

"What kind of wood carving should I make?" Qin Tian held the flying knife and the wood and fell into thought. He originally wanted to carve a portrait of An Shu and give it to the other party, but then he thought that this seemed too radical and would scare the other party.

After all, the two had only met once and were not very familiar with each other. Giving each other a portrait was equivalent to a confession.

"Feelings, seem to be a very troublesome thing..." Qin Tian struggled for a long time, and as he thought about it, he couldn't help but shook his head. This was just the beginning, and it made him feel more troublesome than dealing with the Old Cat Squad.

Tossed and turned all night.

The next morning.

He Xuxiao and others got up early in the morning and rushed to the center of Jiangcheng.

At this time, Qin Tian was still holding the wooden block with concentration.

He had carved several wood carvings last night and this morning, but none of them satisfied him and were suitable for giving as gifts.

It was approaching noon.

"Brother Liuxing, I'm back from school. Are you free now? Do you want to have lunch together?" An Ran sent another text message.

In fact, she didn't go to school at all today. She spent the whole morning struggling over whether to send a message to Qin Tian. It was not until near noon that she mustered up the courage to send the first message.

Qin Tian couldn't help but frown when he saw the text message. The wood carving he had carved did not satisfy him yet.

However, since An Ran had sent a message, he couldn't help but reply, so he replied: "I'm about to take a bus to the city, so I may not be able to make it in time to have lunch with you."

"It's okay, I'm not hungry. I'll wait for you at Clover West 20 Restaurant near the Woodcarving Exhibition Center, okay?" An Ran replied quickly.

"Well... okay." Qin Tian could no longer refuse and could only go there as soon as possible.

When he set off, he not only took the five wood sculptures he had carved last night and in the morning, but also brought an extra piece of wood, intending to continue carving in the car.

He really didn't know what to give An Ran, so he just gave her all the wood carvings.

In the car, Qin Tian carved a wooden Ruyi. Compared with the other five pieces, this one was much simpler, but it was the one he was most satisfied with. When carving, his true energy was integrated into it. At this moment, the wooden Ruyi was as warm and smooth as jade, with a faint crystal luster, and looked extremely precious.

Including this wooden ruyi, there are six pieces in total.

After arriving at the city's wood carving exhibition center, Qin Tian looked around and found the Clover Western Restaurant that An Ran mentioned.

The restaurant is not big, but it is decorated quite elegantly.

The restaurant was doing good business at this time, and at a glance, almost all the seats were occupied.

With Qin Tian's keen perception, he found An Ran's location without asking. He just glanced around.

It was a window seat.

Today, An Ran was wearing a pure white dress, just like the goddess she had admired in her youth. She was holding her chin, looking out the window boredly, but also with a bit of expectation.

Her long black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, making her fair neck look as elegant and noble as a swan's neck. She only had a light layer of pink lipstick on her face, without any extra makeup, which made her look clean and bright, and everything was the best look of youth.

"So beautiful." Qin Tian stood quietly in the distance and stared, feeling his heartbeat suddenly accelerate at this moment. This might be the feeling of being moved.

At this moment, a man wearing famous brand clothes walked up to An Ran with a hypocritical smile.

"Miss, are you alone? I am Zhou Shude, the general manager of Ona Wood Art Company. Nice to meet you. Can we sit down and chat for a few minutes?" The man said, handing over a business card.

"I'm sorry, I don't know you." An Ran glanced at the business card and refused, "I'm waiting for my friend, you should go to another seat."

"It's okay, let's get to know each other formally now. I see you are holding a flyer, are you here to participate in the wood carving exhibition? Our company is also participating in the exhibition. If you have a wood carving you like, I can give you one." Zhou Shude was obviously here to strike up a conversation, but he shamelessly sat down by himself.

He thought he had a good look and as the general manager of a woodworking company, he should be very attractive to women in general, so he appeared quite confident.

"Sorry, please go to another seat, I'm waiting for someone." However, An Ran still insisted.

“Miss, why do you have to keep people at a distance? I see that you are still a student. And seeing that you are holding a sketchbook, you must be a student studying art. It will not be easy for you to find a job in the future. Getting to know one more person from the upper class will be good for you…” Zhou Shude was a little unwilling and kept pestering her.

However, before he could finish his words, he found himself being lifted up, suspended in the air, and then thrown aside.

"Sorry, I'm late." The person who came was naturally Qin Tian. Seeing that Zhou Shude was still pestering him, he had to come over and take action.

"Brother Liuxing." Seeing Qin Tian coming, An Ran immediately showed a sweet smile, and was completely different from her previous appearance. "Boy, you are looking for death!" Zhou Shude was thrown aside, completely humiliated, and got up to settle the score with Qin Tian.

"According to the Public Security Administration Punishment Law, harassment and molestation of women can be punished by detention of not less than five days and not more than ten days. If you don't leave, we will call the police." Qin Tian said calmly. After all, this is a public place and he didn't want to use force.

Moreover, for him, Zhou Shude was not worth his effort at all, because he usually dealt with terrorists, mercenaries, etc. He could tell at a glance that Zhou Shude's body was hollowed out by alcohol and sex, and he could even kill him with just one finger.

"Okay, you have guts!" Zhou Shude originally wanted to teach Qin Tian a lesson, but after hearing this, he glared at Qin Tian fiercely, hesitated for a moment and left.

He also knew that he was not in the right now, and he could see that Qin Tian was not someone to be trifled with. If he started fighting, he would probably not gain any benefit at all.

"This is for you." Qin Tian didn't take Zhou Shude seriously at all. He didn't even look at him. After he left, he just handed a bag of wood carvings to An Ran and said, "I don't know what you like, so I just carved some randomly. I hope you don't mind."

He originally thought that he really didn't know what to give, but when An Ran opened the bag, he was stunned.

"This is too expensive..." Then, she couldn't help but say, "Well, it's just some wood carvings, how expensive are they, how much can they be worth?" Hearing this, Qin Tian didn't react for a while and felt a little stunned.

These wood carvings didn't seem like much to him. He just gave them to An Ran because he really didn't know what to give her. He spent last night and morning carving them.

But it was different for Enron.

Each of these wood carvings is a fine product! The quality is even better than the three pieces auctioned before, which means each one is worth nearly 200,000!
According to previous prices, these six wood carvings are probably worth at least over one million.

Now all of them were given to her at once, and she was a little overwhelmed.

How can a gift worth millions not be expensive?

I guess it’s Zhou Shude who claimed to be the general manager of a company. His annual income may be less than one million!
But now, Qin Tian easily gave away such a valuable wood carving!
"Brother Liuxing, you have no idea how valuable your wood carvings are now... After the last auction of the three pieces, many people have been asking about them. I estimate that the market value of your wood carvings is now at least two hundred thousand each, and they are in short supply." An Ran explained to Qin Tian.

"Two hundred thousand for one piece?" Qin Tian was a little confused after hearing this. He didn't expect that his wood carvings could be so valuable!

"So I can't have these wood carvings." An Ran smiled and said, "They are really too valuable. Even if I were sold, I wouldn't be worth that much money." "No, it's never reasonable to take back what I give away." Qin Tian shook his head and said with a smile, "And I believe that you won't sell the things I give you. Since you're not going to sell them, what does it matter how much they're worth? This is just a small token of my appreciation."

"Of course I don't want to sell it, but this..." An Ran still felt flattered. Although it was not for sale, it was worth millions after all.

"Take it. I've also given wood carvings to Chen Guang and the others." Qin Tian said with a smile, "Come on, let's stop talking about this. Let's eat first. I'm starving."

"Thank you, Brother Liuxing." An Ran was not the kind of hypocritical and pretentious girl. After thinking about it, she finally put the wood carving away, feeling very warm in her heart.

The lunch they had next was simple, but the atmosphere was very pleasant.

We also got to know each other a little better.

"Then you haven't seen your parents for several years?" An Ran knew that Qin Tian's parents were not around, and she couldn't help but feel a little maternal. Women are emotional animals. She felt that Qin Tian would be very lonely alone, so she naturally wanted to give him more care.

"I've gotten used to it over the years." Qin Tian said with a smile.

"Brother Liuxing, what do you like to do when you are alone?" An Ran asked again.

"I usually train and do some wood carving. What about you? What do you like to do?" Qin Tian asked.

"I like reading, drawing, and playing the piano," An Ran said, and then added, "Actually, I'm also interested in wood carving, but I've never been good at it."

"I'll teach you when I have time." Qin Tian said with a smile, "Can you play the piano?"

"I've learned it since I was a child." An Ran said, "I must play it very well." Qin Tian smiled.

"I'll play it for you when I have time." An Ran smiled again, as if she was quite confident in this aspect.

Compared to the last time when the two chatted for a few sentences and then fell silent, now at least there is a give and take, and the atmosphere is much better.

After dinner, the two began to visit the wood carving exhibition.

To be honest, although one of Qin Tian's wood carvings is now worth more than 200,000 yuan, he actually doesn't know much about wood carvings. It was An Ran who introduced them to him along the way.

"Wood carving is a type of sculpture, which is often called folk craft in our country. Wood carving can be divided into three categories: three-dimensional round carving, root carving and relief carving."

"Generally, we choose trees with fine and tough texture that are not easy to deform, such as nanmu, red sandalwood, camphor wood, cypress, ginkgo, agarwood, mahogany, longan, etc. The tree root carving artworks that use natural forms are called 'tree root carving'. Wood carvings include round carving, relief carving, hollow carving or a combination of several techniques. Some are also painted to protect the wood and beautify it."

"Woodcarving schools are generally divided by region. The most famous are Quanzhou woodcarving, Dongyang woodcarving, Yueqing boxwood carving, Guangdong Chaozhou gold lacquer woodcarving, and Fujian longan woodcarving. These five schools are known as the 'Five Great Woodcarvings of the Celestial Empire.'"

Various types and styles of wood carvings, wood carving masters, etc.

But for Qin Tian, ​​these are naturally not important. When a boy accompanies a girl, where they go is never the point. What matters is who they are with.

"Brother Liuxing, your wood carvings are unique. You don't belong to any school. Moreover, your wood carvings are just carved out of ordinary wood. They don't even need to be painted, but they naturally have a special meaning." Speaking of wood carvings, An Ran said to Qin Tian with admiration. The more she understood wood carvings, the more she knew how powerful Qin Tian was.

An ordinary piece of wood can be carved into a fine product. It is not painted, but is naturally smooth like jade. Moreover, it is carved with a knife. It is simply unimaginable. "I just carved it casually." Qin Tian said a little embarrassedly. He really didn't put too much effort into carving.

The reason why his wood carvings are so unique is not only because he only uses a knife to carve, but also because he has warmed them with his true energy, making them naturally transcend ordinary products.

As they walked and talked, their feelings grew stronger and stronger, and they were having a great time. Qin Tian's mood also gradually became brighter.

But then, when we were walking through an exhibition area, something unpleasant happened.

"Sir, I'm sorry, we suspect the wood carvings in your bag are our exhibition samples. Do you have a receipt?" An exhibition staff member came over and said to Qin Tian.

"You mean I stole something?" The exhibition staff was very polite, but Qin Tian couldn't help but frown. (End of this chapter)
