Inside the kitchen, Xiang Kun was processing the ingredients skillfully. He softly said to Tang Baona, who wanted to help but did not know where to start from:
"By the way, I made a small woodcarving as a Christmas gift for you. Because I was short of time, I only made one. It's in the bag over there where we keep the sauce. Wait until we leave before you open it. Otherwise, if Old Yang sees that I haven't prepared hers, she'll nag me all night and force me to agree on some unfair deal to break free. Next time we meet, I'll make her a wood carving as a Christmas gift."
Tang Baona couldn't help but laugh: "'Old Yang'... I'd like to see her face when you call her that. Haha..." She then became interested in his gift and asked further, "What did you carve? An original image or an anime character?"
"You'll find out when you look at it," Xiang Kun said.
"Ah!! Just tell me later, tell me now, I really want to go and see it..."
