Chapter 41 - Tofu Pudding

Wei Yi was pleasantly surprised to learn that 'Big Brother' had informed 'Big Sister', but he still felt a bit at a loss. Now he was like a deflated balloon.

Ji Yunshu sipped her tea indifferently while looking at him with her narrowed eyes, "Wei Yi, I don't want that handkerchief. When your body is warmed up, Luan'er will send you out."

That wouldn't do. He had taken a long, long time to wash this handkerchief. He put the little box on the table, and then very carefully, he poked the box with his index finger until it slowly arrived in front of Ji Yunshu, "Big Sister, it's not dirty anymore. It's very clean. I washed off all the mud on it. It's true. Look, look!"

His enthusiasm was enough to make anyone feel bad. Ji Yunshu caved in and opened the box. Then, she deliberately showed a pleasantly surprised expression, "It's so clean."

"I washed it for a very long time. Do you like it?"

"Yes, I like it.""

Do you like the flowers on it?"

"Yes, I like it!" She had no choice but to nod and smile at him.

Wei Yi became very excited and stared foolishly at her smile. Her teeth were neatly aligned and as white as silver pearls. Ji Yunshu closed the lid, pushed the little box to the side, and asked him, "Are you warm yet?"

He shook his head, "My legs are still cold."

I hope it's not because he wants to continue sitting here that he won't leave. Ji Yunshu studied him. He obviously had cold eyes, but they kept flitting around, giving off a warm feeling. Her woman's intuition told her that he was looking at her!

Suddenly, an evil idea surfaced in her mind. She pulled her sandalwood box near her, neatly placing it between them. Then, she stroked the word 'case' on it. She wore an unfathomable expression as she asked him, "Wei Yi, do you know what's in my box?"

"I want to know!" His voice resonated quite clearly.

She smiled inwardly and opened the box. Inside, there were eight sharp knives with blades that glinted with a silver hue, piercing one's eyes.

Wei Yi's hair almost stood on its end. Since he was a child, he was properly protected, not to mention he was the only son. Thus, never had he received even the slightest injury at home, and he was kept away from sharp objects at all times. Right now, seeing these many knives at once greatly frightened him! His whole body nearly collapsed; he breathed heavily, yet he didn't dare to show how startled he was!

Very good! That was exactly the reaction she wanted from him. After a moment, it seemed like she were leisurely shopping at the market as she picked up objects from inside her box. She took out a knife with a broad blade. Her fingers stroked it. Then, she twirled the knife twice, "Do you know what this knife is used for?"

He shook his head.

"This kind of knife with a broad blade and flat shape is used to chop off the neck. Once it hacks it off, the skin and flesh will be split opened cleanly. It's very efficient!" Next, she picked a hook-shaped knife, "Do you know what this knife is used for?"

Once again, he shook his head.

"This one is used for disemboweling. You slice it across the abdomen and it will easily rip open the skin like paper. Then you can clearly see all the guts inside. Therefore, it's very convenient to use this knife in that situation." Immediately afterwards, she picked up a knife with the shape of a bamboo leaf, "How about this one?"

Like before, Wei Yi shook his head.

"This knife is used to open the head. Because the inside of the skull is very fragile, you can neither use a big knife nor can you use a knife that's too sharp. Therefore, you can only use this knife. When you open the skull with it, you can see the brain nestled inside. But there's a lot to learn about the brain. Especially how piping hot it is when you touch it, or how its texture is quite similar to tofu pudding."
