The air froze for a moment. Looking at Liu Xu's pale face and desperate eyes, Su Qing seemed to realize that he had gone too far.
He stepped forward and tried to hold the hand of the willow catkins, but was dodged by them.
"Xu Xu, I'm sorry."
Su Qing's voice dropped low, carrying an apologetic tone.
I really didn't mean it. I shouldn't have said those words and shouldn't have touched your watch.
He paused for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and his eyes lit up.
I heard that there is an old craftsman in the city. His skills are particularly good and he can restore many old things.
What's his name... It seems to be called "Time Craftsman"?
It is said that he can restore objects with stories to their original state, and even retain their original appearance and feeling.
Liu Xu tightened her grip on the watch fragment but said nothing.
Shall we go and beg him?
Su Qing's tone became a little more sincere.
Perhaps he can help you repair your watch. I know it's very important to you. I don't mean to ruin it. I'm just...
He didn't go on.
Xiao Ran also chimed in from the side, "Yes, Xu Xu. Go and have a look." What if it can be repaired? It's better than holding the fragments like this.
Liu Xu raised her head, looking at the rare earnest expression on Su Qing's face and the worried look in Xiao Ran's eyes.
A faint glimmer of hope, like the light shining through the rain curtain, pricked her eyes.
Can it really be fixed? She murmured to herself.
"Give it a try!"
Su Qing seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and stepped forward to help up the willow catkins.
Tomorrow, tomorrow we'll go and find him. Ok?
Liu Xu looked at the fragments in her hand and then turned to Su Qing.
Deep down in her heart, she still felt a sharp pain at Su Qing's smashing of her watch and her unintentional leak of secrets to Xiao Ran, but the word "repair" seemed to have magic power, grasping her last straw to save her life.
She nodded gently.
