When the bull's eye carving was completed, Lu Zi'an moved his wrist and picked up the polishing knife to polish the wood carving.

This kind of small round carving is really not difficult, in contrast, he is more interested in the more provocative carving.

When the polishing is completed, the color of the whole sculpture is orange-red, and the overall design fits the texture and trend of the safflower pear itself, the image is realistic and vibrant, and it is definitely worthy of the name of "bullish".

"Alright, the cow is full of carving. Lu Zi'an glanced at the screen: "Xiaoqiang, remember to add my WeChat and send me your address." ”

[I love to eat watermelon: Master, how do you feel that you are carving much harder today than before, and the joints are white. 】

She observed it really carefully, and Lu Zi'an smiled: "Because the wood is different." ”

He casually took a piece of basswood: "Wood is soft and hard, such as basswood, ginkgo wood, camphor wood, pine wood, etc. ”

Then he took two pieces of mahogany and put them next to the basswood: "Look, the difference is more obvious, like mahogany, a little harder and thicker wood texture is more fine, and it is difficult to carve, but it is a high-quality material for carving, suitable for carving works with complex structures and fine shapes, especially sea yellow and small-leaved red sandalwood, but those woods are more rare." ”

[So that's the case, let's just say it doesn't look the same.] 】

Lu Zi'an looked at the time, it was indeed not early, so he said to them: "It's already late, let's rest early, see you tomorrow." ”

After quitting the live broadcast, he still felt quite excited, a round carving couldn't let him play happily at all, he took the carving knife around and around, wondering if he should carve something and sleep again.

Suddenly I heard movement outside, could it be that Shen Mange hadn't slept yet?

He frowned and opened the door and went out, she was still wiping the table.

"Didn't you say that you should go to bed early, just call someone to clean up tomorrow. ”

Shen Mange smiled: "It's okay, I have nothing to do anyway, they don't necessarily clean as me." ”

Lu Zi'an sat down on the sofa, and Qu Duoduo sent a WeChat message over: [Master, can you give me a room manager?

There seems to be one in the house manager, or someone scolded him last year, and that person couldn't look down and went to him to ask for it, but he didn't talk often, and the most neat thing he did was to kick people and ban them.

But there's nothing good about the house manager or something, and it's nothing to give her a play.

Lu Zi'an was about to reply, but Qu Duo Duo sent again: [Master, Master, will you go to the Changyan City Wood Art Competition? I heard that the TV station will broadcast live! Master, if you go, you will definitely kill those scumbags in seconds!]

Live broadcast?

Lu Zi'an squinted his eyes and thought, the merit value can be exchanged for wood, and he can only accumulate slowly while guarding the live broadcast room, but the TV station should be able to rise a lot at once, right?

Perhaps, this Rausch game can be seen.

Maybe it's because he hasn't replied, Qu Duoduo can't wait, and sent a lot of cute and cute emojis.

I don't know why, looking at her playful and lively appearance, Lu Zi'an suddenly felt a little ...... Under the weather.

He raised his eyes to look at Shen Mange, who was wiping the TV cabinet, and then looked at all kinds of coquettish Qu Dodo in WeChat, and suddenly understood where the discomfort in his heart came from.

Qu Duoduo's personal information is 21 years old, a junior in college, and he is naïve.

Shen Mange is only 17 years old this year, she can cook, do housework, and act steadily and generously, mainly because her temperament is too old, even Zhuo Peng and Zou Kai didn't find out that she was so young, and they probably only thought she looked relatively young.

And Lu Zi'an carefully thought back to the relationship in the past few days, he felt that Shen Mange's original temperament should not be like this, so the reason why she behaved like this was ......

Afraid?

Is it because of a lack of security?

"Xiao Man, come here. Lu Zi'an turned off his mobile phone and patted the sofa: "I have something to tell you." ”

Shen Mange paused, walked over with a rag in his hand, and sat down quietly across from him.

"I've been too busy these days, and I haven't talked to you well, do you feel unsure?"

“…… No. Shen Mange glanced up at him, although he tried to pretend to be calm, a flash of panic flashed in his eyes.

Lu Zi sighed calmly, and sure enough, this is the case: "The matter of the Duan family, I have already told my father, he will deal with it, you don't have to worry." ”

“…… Well, thanks. ”

Frowning, Lu Zi'an leaned over slightly and looked at her intently: "Xiaoman, are you afraid?"

Shen Mange glanced at him quickly, pursed his lips and shook his head, but the hand holding the rag involuntarily tightened.

"I don't have a surname Duan. Lu Zi'an took a deep breath: "You look at me, my surname is Lu, I will not abandon you, nor will I drive you out, let alone ask you for money, I take care of you because you are Uncle Shen's daughter, I treat you as my own sister, and my parents also treat you as a daughter." ”

He paused: "They asked me to take good care of you, because they want you to live happily without burden, instead of cleaning and cooking like now, and we are in the opposite position, so you are taking care of me." ”

"I'm ......" Shen Mange opened his mouth a little hesitantly.

Lu Zi'an raised his hand to stop her, and said in a quiet voice: "These are not things you should do, you are still a child, you should wear cute clothes, smile heartlessly, enjoy your youth with peace of mind, be true to yourself, and don't have to please anyone - this is the original intention I brought you back!"

Shen Mange squeezed the rag tightly with both hands, her bones were white, and the water was dripping on the floor, but she didn't notice anything.

She looked at Lu Zi'an in a daze, her clear eyes were slowly covered with a layer of mist, but she bit her lip desperately, desperately suppressing her emotions, not wanting herself to cry.

Looking at her like this, Lu Zi'an's heart softened, and he said softly: "This is your home, and we will be a family in the future, okay?"

“…… Well. Shen Mange replied in a nasal voice, nodded vigorously, and a tear dripped unexpectedly on the back of his hand, and the warm feeling warmed all the way to his heart.

Lu Zi'an patted her shoulder soothingly: "Okay, don't cry, I have to go to school tomorrow, hurry up and sleep." ”

Seeing her enter the room, Lu Zi'an lit a cigarette, tsk, adolescent little brat......

It's kind of pretending to be like that, and it turns out that I'm going to cry too......

The phone rang again, he opened it with a cigarette in his mouth and glanced at it, and the Doduo girl sent a lot of messages, but the latest one was Zhuo Peng's: [Master Lu, are you really not going to participate in that competition?

Hmm, Lu Zi'an thought about it and replied: [I participated, how to sign up?]

Zhuo Peng replied quickly: [Are you willing to participate? Then I'll sign you up now! I'll send you the time and place later!]

This person is really, Lu Zi'an smiled: [Okay, thank you. 】

Wood art competition...... Hmm, I'm really looking forward to it......
