She immediately remembered the "Balancing Eagle" toy she had played with when she was little.
That thing was a handicraft, far less impressive than the eagle Jiang Ning made by hand.
Xue Chuchu was also drawn in, staring intently at the eagle.
It was completely made of matches, and its internal mechanical structure was crystal clear, filled with a rough beauty.
"You, did you put it together?" Xue Chuchu asked awkwardly.
It was just an offhand remark; she never expected that...
She was flattered and somewhat uneasy, with an indescribable emotion in her heart.
Jiang Ning, "Is it difficult?"
Everyone was happy, except for Xue Yuantong, who was knocked down a peg.
During lunch, Xue Yuantong, contrary to her usual self, finished eating early, then left the main house under Chuchu's surprised gaze.
Xue Yuantong was never one to admit defeat; she'd rather skip lunch than sneak into Jiang Ning's room to find the matchstick eagle and secretly study it, to replicate it herself.
