Problems with mass production
Xu Yi choked on a mouthful of food.
“Ke, ke, ke…...Ke…...Still, what did you say?”
“Go to your house.” Still felt a bit strange, but seeing the strange expressions on Xu Yi’s face, her mind turned and instantly understood what he meant. A faint blush covered her face and she couldn’t help sending a punch out, “What are you thinking!”
Xu Yi quickly waved his hand and shouted, “Alright, alright, I know what you mean. You want to go to my house and see the model piano, right? But I don’t understand, why are you in such a rush?”
Still stopped her hand and hesitated for a bit. She asked in an uncertain voice, “Xu Yi, that…..Can you sell me that model piano?”
“Sell it to you?” Xu Yi looked at Still with a confused gaze, “What do you need it for?”
“I have my uses.” Still ambiguously responded.
Xu Yi didn’t even think about it as he shook his head, “I’m afraid not. That thing is very important to me, I can’t sell it to you.”
It wasn’t Xu Yi rejecting on purpose. That model piano was made by him during his time in the Senkaiser School, it was also the first magical mechanical product he made in this world, so it was very sentimental to him. He wasn’t willing to give it to anyone.
“It’s like this……” Still was a bit disappointed before asking, “Then…..Can you teach me how you made it? Un, I originally wanted you to teach me how to make it since personally making something is worth more than buying something from someone else.”
Xu Yi looked at Still with a strange gaze, “Still, I want to ask something. Are you planning to give this to someone?”
“That’s right, I need to give someone a birthday present right now. Last time I saw your model piano, I felt it was quite novel and using it as a birthday present was quite good. What do you think? Can you teach me? Teach me how to make it, alright? I promise I will not treat you unjustly. As long as you help me, I will let grandfather treat you well from now on.”
Xu Yi stroked his chin. Forgetting about using this chance to advance a step further with Great Magician Camilla, just based on the fact that Still was such a beauty, it was normal for him to help her.
“That’s right, I want to ask something else. Is the person you’re giving the present to a man?”
A faint blush appeared on Still’s face and she angrily said, “Why do you care!”
Xu Yi laughed, thinking that he had been correct.
But Still was nineteen years old, she was in the spring of life. It wasn’t strange for her to like some boy.
“Alright, it’s no problem teaching you how to make it, but there’s no need to go to my house. It’s already getting late, it’s not convenient for a little girl like you to come to my house. From tomorrow onwards, come to the lab to find me after work, I’ll teach you there.”
Still looked at Xu Yi in surprise, “Xu Yi, I never thought you would be such an honest person.”
“Ke…...Do I look like a dishonest person?” Xu Yi angrily looked at Still, as he snappily asked, “That’s right, when do you need the present? I need to prepare my speed for teaching you.”
“There’s still half a month, there shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
“Un, that is enough time. That model piano’s crafting technique is not difficult, it just requires some fine details.”
After the two made an agreement, Xu Yi left after saying goodbye. He didn’t head home like normal, rather he went to the hospital first.
The little slave who was wrapped in bandages, looking no different from a mummy had woken up from their coma. Lying on the bed in the hospital, their eyes looked at the sealing and there was a trace of alarm and fear in them.
Hearing Xu Yi talking to the doctor, he finally reacted. He turned to look at Xu Yi and a deep curiosity appeared in his eyes.
“How do you feel?” Noticing the little slave look over, Xu Yi stopped talking to the doctor and asked him this in a gentle voice.
The little slave didn’t seem very adept at talking to others, so he only nodded after a bit of hesitation.
Xu Yi revealed a smile and didn’t press him. He asked the doctors a few things and after confirming that he was already good, he said to the little salve, “It’s good that nothing’s wrong. Your injuries haven’t healed yet, so just rest up for a few days here. I’ll come back for you when you are better.”
Xu Yi turned to leave when he felt a tug at the corner of his clothes. Turning back in a surprised manner, he found that the little slave had reached out and was tightly holding his clothes.
Xu Yi looked at the nervous and fearful little slave and instantly understood what he needed.
“What? You need someone to stay with you? I’m afraid I can’t, I’m very busy with work, I don’t have much time to stay with you. Relax, since I have already bought you, I won’t throw you away. You can just relax and stay here. The doctor has said that you can leave in a few days, it’s fine.”
The doctor on the side looked at Xu Yi with a strange gaze.
