揂nd there抯 the King Meow! Yang Zhen抏r carefully held the carved Lich King Alsace, squinting her eyes as she said, 揃ut it is a bit small. It doesn抰 quite compare to Nana抯 Saber. If you put them together, it looks like it could be split in half by Saber抯 sword厰

揥ell then you can join this Eight-armed man and the dazzling golden, three on one! Tang Baona giggled, clearly proud of the fact that the Saber wooden carving in her home was the largest and strongest in combat.

揧o, look at you showing off. King Meow can summon helpers, you know, millions of zombies charging, oh! The dazzling golden is an air force, it can fly! And this one, it has eight arms, moves around freely, hehe厰 Yang Zhen抏r held the eight-armed wood carving, swinging it back and forth as she spoke.

揟ang Baoting watched the two of them and shook her head helplessly: 揌ow old are you two? Stop acting like kindergarten kids, okay!!

Hearing the playful banter between Tang Baona and Yang Zhen抏r, Xiang Kun almost choked with laughter. It was like watching two naughty kids playing with Ultraman and Transformer dolls.

Moreover, through the eight-armed, eight-eyed wood carving, he could sense Tang Baona抯 and Yang Zhen抏r抯 admiration and joy. Through his super sensory contact with the Canary Wooden Carving and Alsace抯 Wood Carving, he could pinpoint their positions in the living room. Coupled with other sounds and smells, even without turning his head, it felt as if he was 損ersonally watching them play.

Tang Baoting抯 fianc? Gao Yao, originally started playing on his phone by himself after greeting Xiang Kun when he came in. Now, seeing the wood carvings, he seemed to have suddenly become interested and joined in.

揃rother-in-law, don抰 you also play Warcraft? What do you think of Brother Xiang抯 carving? Yang Zhen抏r held up the Alsace wood carving in front of Gao Yao and asked.

揥ow! I haven抰 even called him my brother-in-law yet, and you抮e already ahead of me! Tang Baona complained.

揑 have a sweet mouth! Anyway, it抯 only a matter of time, right, Sister Ting? Yang Zhen抏r smiled.

揃e careful not to damage Xiang Kun抯 carving. Tang Baoting glared at her.

揘o problem, if I damage it, I抣l pay for it. Saying this, Yang Zhen抏r shouted to the kitchen: 揅arpenter Xianz! Sell me the Kinz Meow carving! Name vour price! I promise I won抰 bargain!

揘ot for sale! Xiang Kun抯 voice came out, accompanied by the sound of the exhaust hood.

揥ood carvings are works of art, carvers are not merely carpenters. Gao Yao said quietly, then carefully took the Alsace wood carving from Yang Zhen抏r and admired, 揟he carving is really good. It has detailed, very nice.

揃rother-in-law, do you also carve wood? Tang Baona asked curiously. Even though she had just scolded Yang Zhen抏r, she now followed suit.

揘o, but these are indeed well-carved. Gao Yao replied.

Tang Baoting suddenly curiously asked: 揘ana, why isn抰 this birdcage closed? Isn抰 Xiang Kun afraid of the bird flying away?

Tang Baona immediately walked over to the birdcage like she was presenting a treasure and said, 揝ister, this is not an ordinary bird. Let me introduce you. This is our psychic bird, His Highness 慓olden Dazzler? It understands human nature and can understand human speech!

揋olden Dazzler? How did Xiang Kun come up with such a tacky name for this bird厰 Tang Baoting commented casually.

Yang Zhen抏r laughed so hard that she almost choked on her own saliva.

Tang Baona抯 face darkened slightly, but she didn抰 explain much. Instead, she spoke to the Golden Dazzler resting on the perch inside the birdcage, 揇azzler, do me a favor, sing a song for us. Come here and stand on sister抯 hand.

Tang Baona mimicked Xiang Kun抯 previous motion when teasing the Golden Dazzler. However, the Golden Dazzler slowly moved toward the back of the perch, not even giving her a glance.

Yang Zhen抏r suggested from the side, 揈ntice it with food! If there抯 food, it will find it 慸elicious?

No matter how much the two of them tried to coax it, the Golden Dazzler refused to leave its cage, even moving to the furthest corner. It was only after a while that it twittered twice.

Xiang Kun brought out a dish, laughing as he asked Tang Baona, 揥ould you like me to translate what it抯 saying?

揘o! Need! Having already experienced this once, Tang Baona knew exactly what Xiang Kun would say.

Once all the dishes were ready, the three girls instinctively took out their phones to start taking pictures, with Yang Zhen抏r even running around to turn on a few more lights.

揟he taste really is good! No wonder Zhen抏r calls you 慍hef Xiang? She told me that your cooking is no worse than a restaurant抯, and it turns out she wasn抰 exaggerating! It抯 really good! Tang Baoting tasted two pieces of dry pot rabbit meat and exclaimed in amazement.

From the various information and data Xiang Kun gathered, while her words were partially polite praise, they were mostly genuine. At least judging from her reaction, she found the food genuinely delicious. It seems that her tastes are similar to those of Yang Zhen抏r she prefers flavors that are a bit stronger.

Strange, isn抰 she Tang Baona抯 sister? Their family should have similar tastes, right?

Gao Yao, Tang Baoting抯 boyfriend, is quite an introverted person. If someone asks him something, he抣l quickly answer, but he doesn抰 usually bring up topics on his own. He抯 similar to Xiang Kun, acting quite reserved with those he doesn抰 know well. He tries to keep a low profile and doesn抰 seek attention or, maybe better said, couldn抰 be bothered seeking attention. But if attention is turned to him, he抣l be as friendly as possible, not wanting to spoil the mood.

As far as tastes go, he抯 similar to Yang Zhen抏r and Tang Baoting. Even when judged by the city抯 general preference for bland food, Tang Baona抯 taste is still on the blander side.

揦iang Kun, weren抰 you classmates with Chang Bin in university? You studied computer science, so why would you do woodcarving? Mid-meal, Tang Baoting suddenly changed the topic and started asking about the woodcarving.

Xiang Kun somewhat guessed why Tang Baoting would ask him to have dinner together today. It抯 mainly due to the events of today, Tang Baona抯 grandfather and second uncle are slightly worried about the woodcarving, but they should understand Tang Baona抯 temperament. They wouldn抰 dare intervene directly, so they抳e sent her sister to 搊bserve?

揑 learned it after started working. I抦 a homebody, not into outdoor activities, I prefer things that I can tinker with on my own. Xiang Kun said.

Tang Baoting laughed, 揟inkering? Your carvings look great! My grandfather praised your work! Speaking of which, Nana should have mentioned my second uncle抯 issue to you today, right? My uncle is actually pretty sensible usually, just a bit sensitive sometimes. He had had a few drinks and had a dream about your woodcarving the other day, so he thought it was related and showed it to some people厰

Xiang Kun quickly responded, 揙h no, the woodcarving I made indeed had some issues. Some designs were unreasonable and looked a bit strange. It was a shape that just came to me in a flash. So, I asked Nana to bring back that woodcarving. I plan to redo it, and I抣l first give the canary wooden carving to the old man for review.

Gao Yao quietly said, 揂ctually, the design was very reasonable. You could see the skeletal structure and the points of attachment. It抯 not easy making the eight arms connect to the torso this naturally厰 On the way, he had also played with the wood carving for a while and was considering whether to try wood carving himself.

Tang Baoting glanced at her boyfriend, and then continued talking to Xiang Kun, 揌ow did you come up with the idea to carve such an image? Have you seen similar images before?

Xiang Kun knew she was probing, and it was clearly one of her main reasons for coming tonight. So, he looked a bit embarrassed, and said, 揂ctually, I originally thought of carving a monk with eight arms. I saw many Buddha statues and Guanyin statues with multiple arms in temples and thought a monk with many arms would be able to fight better. But when I was carving the scars, they didn抰 turn out well, so I just went with it and made them into eyes.

Yang Zhen抏r couldn抰 help but laugh, 揑t抯 a good thing you didn抰 say you were trying to carve a spider and ended up with this厰

After finishing the meal and chatting for a while, close to eight o抍lock, the group of four prepared to leave. Naturally, Tang Baona left behind the eight-armed, eight-eyed wood carving, and took the canary wooden carving with her.

Before leaving, Yang Zhen抏r insisted on buying Xiang Kun抯 King Meow wooden carving. She impressively offered 8888 yuan, but Xiang Kun summarily refused her, stating that for that price, he could only give her the Sword of Frost Mourning.

On the way back, Yang Zhen抏r drove while complaining, 揘ana! Your family抯 Carpenter Xiang is too biased. You helped your grandfather buy a carving for only 5000 yuan, but even when I offered more than 8000, he told me I could only buy a small wooden sword! The sword is too small! What would I use it for, to clean my ears?

Tang Baona, who was playing with the 揝hiny carving, laughed, 揂re your ear holes that big? Isn抰 it obvious that he didn抰 want to sell it? Didn抰 he promise to make a customized birthday gift for you?

Yang Zhen抏r mumbled, 揗y birthday is still so far away!

Sitting in the back seat fiddling with his phone, Gao Yao also whispered, 揙ver 8000 is really expensive. If it were around 2000, I抎 also want to commission a carving.

Tang Baoting glanced at her boyfriend somewhat helplessly. Then she asked

Tang Baona, 揦iang Kun seems quite bulky, and I heard he works out often. How come he ate so little for dinner?

揙h, he抯 always like that. He eats small meals frequently. I guess before we arrived, he had already eaten a nutritional meal beforehand, Tang Baona explained for Xiang Kun.

揌e hasn抰 been working for a while now, how does he deal with the expenses? Tang Baoting asked.

揌e takes some software outsourcing jobs. Plus, he saved a lot during the years he was working. Remember that time he saved the Zhang family抯 two kids?

They rewarded him with 200,000 yuan, Tang Baona said.

In the back seat, Gao Yao whispered again, 揑t抯 easy for a good programmer to find work, no need to worry. Then he continued to play with his phone without lifting his head, seemingly not expecting any responses.

Tang Baoting didn抰 know what to say in response to her boyfriend抯 words, so she simply decided to ignore it and asked her sister in the driver抯 seat:

揌asn抰 Xiang Kun moved to that house long ago? Why haven抰 he added any furniture yet? At least get a sofa or a television or something?

揟oo lazy to bother, I guess. He rarely has guests anyway. Besides me and

Zhen抏r, and old Xia before, he probably has no other guests, Tang Baona said, 揝ister, do you want to go to my place? Play a few rounds of Fight the Landlord with my brother-in-law! It抯 boring to play with Xiang Kun, especially when Old Xia is there, it makes me and Zhen抏r feel like we have IQ problems.

Yang Zhen抏r agreed, 揧es, yes, yes! Carpenter Xiang and Old Xia are both cheaters!

Tang Baoting shook her head and glanced at her boyfriend, who was on his mobile chatting in a QQgroup, 揜ecently Gao Yao has been playing that Warcraft classic game. He needs to go back at nine to do a raid..
