Rebirth Mission

The next morning, we arrived at Fengyun as promised.

This time, Chen Tao came directly to greet them.

"Miss Leng, this way please."

Chen Tao took her into a private room inside the reception area, where every customized accessory would be confirmed.

To prevent plagiarism and leakage, surveillance cameras are turned on in the private rooms to prevent customers from denying their work later. It can be said that the protection of craftsmen is comprehensive.

There are two sofas facing each other in the private room, a coffee table in the middle, and a whole wall of lattice cabinets on one side. They are of different sizes and heights, and each cabinet door has a lock.

Chen Tao took out a wooden box from the smallest cabinet in the middle, placed it on the coffee table, and opened it facing Leng Yujing.

The wooden box was lined with black velvet, and on top lay a straight hairpin without any carvings or decorations.

Leng Yujing:......

Or make another one, two will make a pair of chopsticks.

Leng Yujing couldn't help but complain about herself.

When I first made the request, I just wanted it to be sturdy, simple, and inconspicuous.

"Miss Leng, do you think it meets your requirements?"

Chen Tao didn't dare to ask "Are you satisfied with the way it looks?" It was just such a simple request. If he didn't do it right, he would have to quit this job.

Pick up the hairpin by the handle.

It is quite heavy, made of dark red Venus rosewood, with smooth gold lines on it.

There is a cutting line 5 cm from the thick end. It is not very obvious and can only be seen when holding it in your hand.

Pinch the left and right sides of the cutting line and apply a little force, and the hairpin will be separated.

A steel sword is embedded in the solid end.

The steel sword is slender and flat, without a sharp edge, and is about 2 mm thick.

It won't be threatening if you touch it on a daily basis, but it's possible to use it to attack someone.

Inserting, cutting, and stabbing are all possible as long as the speed is fast enough.

Seeing that Leng Yujing's eyes were fixed on the steel sword, Chen Tao pursed his lips uncomfortably.

Although this hairpin is indeed nothing special, there is no need to focus on the steel sword inside.

At this moment, Chen Tao felt that he was not a jewelry craftsman, but a blacksmith who made weapons.

"Can I try it?"

"of course can."

Chen Tao nodded, stood up and brought a mirror.

Leng Yujing pulled off her hair tie, shook her long hair with the back of her hand, and stroked it twice.

Tie your hair at the back of your head, pick up the hairpin and wrap it around the hair from the inside to the bottom, turn the hairpin around to the outside, and let the hair twist together while rotating. Then pull out the hairpin a little and insert it into the semicircular hair. Let the tail end of the hairpin come out of the hair, and you are done.

When Chen Tao put the mirror on the coffee table, Leng Yujing's hair had already been done.

I turned my head in front of the mirror and the hairpin seemed to be of suitable length.

He stretched out his hand and pinched the thick end of the hairpin, trying to pull out the steel sword. He pressed the other end slightly, and when he felt a dull sensation, the steel sword was pulled out.

Without the steel sword core, the hairpin's power to hold the hair has obviously decreased, and it has become a little loose.

She pulled out the other end of the hairpin, inserted it back into the steel sword, and then she tied her hair up again, this time shaking her head left and right.

Seeing this, Chen Tao said, "Don't worry, Miss Leng. The inside of the hairpin fits tightly. I also embedded a small magnet in the hilt. The daily shaking will not cause the steel sword to fall off."

Leng Yujing nodded with satisfaction.

If you can swing the steel sword out just by shaking your head, then what's the point?

This sword hairpin was specially customized to fix the hair. It is not as tight as a hair tie that would pull the scalp. It is comfortable to wear and easy to tie up. Otherwise, with Leng Yujing's amount of hair, it would take at least two hair ties or a hair tie to tie it up.

Another purpose is self-defense.

Even if you are strong enough and good at fighting, your physical strength is limited. It is better to have a weapon in your hand than to have no weapon, and a hidden weapon is better than an obvious weapon.

Only by taking people by surprise can the best effect be achieved.

Just like in the forest, if you see a tiger or a black bear you can stay away from them, but snakes and poisonous insects are good at camouflage, and it is difficult to spot them without careful observation. Until you are bitten, you will realize it is too late.

"Thank you. I am very satisfied."

"As long as you are satisfied."

As long as you are happy...

Leng Yujing paid the balance and left Fengyun happily.

Chen Tao put the report on customized products at the bottom of a drawer and never included it in any assessment, but he never forgot about the chopsticks.

I originally wanted to go to the supermarket to buy some more meat for Baihu, but then the phone call came.

"What's up, Doctor Xu?"

"Jing'er."

Xu Weiliang originally wanted to continue calling her "Miss Leng", but after waking up from the dream and hearing her voice again, he couldn't help but blurt it out.

Leng Yujing: ???

This familiar tone and voice made Leng Yujing stunned for a moment, and she opened her mouth: "Doctor Xu?"

Xu Weiliang was also shocked for a moment by the way he addressed her, as if it had become a habit.

But he did not correct his words.

"What's wrong? Did it scare you?"

"Fortunately."

During the years that she knew him, Xu Weiliang had always called her like this. She was not scared, but rather felt a little nostalgic, and more importantly, confused as to why he suddenly called her so intimately in this life.

He chuckled at the answer: "Don't be nervous, you helped me a lot, I just want to make friends with you, so I call you that."

I couldn't just tell her like I did that I had a dream, a dream about the two of them.

"Sure, I'm helping you just to make friends with you."

Leng Yujing's thoughts have not changed. She wants to help him. He used to be very good to her, allowing her to see a little light during those decadent and confused days.

——"If you don't want to talk, don't talk. If no one believes you, there's no need to explain."

——"Be thick-skinned and you won't feel wronged."

——"If no one cares, then you won't feel bad."

——"It doesn't matter. If it's you, I'm always available."

The words he once told me still linger in my ears clearly.

Leng Yujing bit her lower lip and spoke hesitantly.

"Can I talk to you during your off-hours?"

"As long as it's you, I'm always available."

The same words as in the previous life made Leng Yujing fall into a trance, and then she heard the voice on the other end of the phone again.

"Since you want to be friends with me, come to me more often."

Leng Yujing thought about what would happen tonight, and she was still very conflicted.

Even though she was so brave when facing the white tiger yesterday, the closer she got to that moment, the more the past scenes kept replaying in her mind.

She felt aggrieved, sad, and even resentful.

This emotion will not disappear with death, but will accumulate more and more.

Even though I feel relatively calm now, I still have an indescribable feeling of suffocation.

"Doctor Xu, if...if I know that what I want to do is right, but I don't feel comfortable in my heart, what should I do?"

Xu Weiliang knew what she meant and remembered what she had described in her dream.

After careful consideration, he spoke in a gentle voice.

"Being yourself is the most difficult thing. When people live in this world, there are things they can't let go of. Family and friends can be your strength, but they can also be your burden. If you can be ruthless, abandon everything. If you can't do it, just follow your heart. There is no need to hide or suppress it deliberately. Just do what you think."

"Since it is the right thing to do, I support you. As for feeling uncomfortable..."

"I'm here, don't be afraid."
