There was a pattern on the bottleneck, which was actually the tree's original grain pattern. It looked natural and euphemistic, as it complemented the vase perfectly, making it look like a work of art.

Li Du stared at the vase. ”Was this really carved by you?” he asked. ”On your own?”

The little blue-eyed girl nodded, and whispered, ”Well, do you like it?”

Li Du kissed the vase. He then squatted down, gave her a hug, and kissed her on the forehead. ”Yes, I like it very much. It's so well-made.”

He was not patronizing her; the vase was exquisite. He marveled at the little girl's carving skills.

He might be an adult, but if he were given a trunk to make a vase out of, he would definitely not be able to do half as well as she had.

The little girl gave a shy but contented smile. She then took out a small container from her backpack and said, ”I also brought gifts for Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles.”

Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles stretched their necks out in anticipation.

Then, the little girl opened the container to reveal the few chunks of ice inside it.

The sun's rays shined onto the ice, reflecting a beautiful soft light.

How is ice considered a gift? You could have at least brought dried fish or something. Ah Meow glowered at the little girl, his eyes wide with astonishment.

Victoria asked, ”Ah Meow, I brought you ice cubes. Do you like them?”

”Meow!” Ah Meow moved his claws about with dissatisfaction. To hell with it. I'll topple your box of ice!

Li Du smacked him on the head. ”Be quiet, don't make so much noise.”

Then he gave Victoria a warm smile. ”Ah Meow's very fond of it—he likes it so much. See how excited he is?”

Ah Meow scratched his head with his claws as he despondently nursed his grievance. Victoria couldn't really read his mood. She giggled, ”As long as Ah Meow likes it. I'll bring him some more ice next time. And Crispy Noodles, does he like it? ”

The raccoon was smart. He'd noticed that Ah Meow got a smack on the head from Li Du when he had expressed his discontentment.

So when the little girl asked him, he leaned forward, rubbed his head against her calf, and raised his face toward her with a fetching smile.

Li Du stroked his head approvingly. Well, this was how a good boy should behave.

Godzilla went into the cabin to get Victoria a cup of freshly pressed apple juice. Mother Mesa's home was some distance away; the little girl had come over on a bicycle and was hot and tired.

Taking the juice, the little girl said politely, ”Thank you, uncle.”

Godzilla laughed and went to unload the truck.

Li Du asked, ”Have you been looking for me thee past few days?”

The little girl bowed her head and drank the juice. Her bangs blocked her face, and her expression could not be seen. Only her little voice was heard, ”Hmm.”

Li Du had been in Las Vegas the past few days, so she ha not been able to locate him. However, she had insisted on making a trip to the cabin every single day, and came by to check every morning.

The treasure hunters in the cabin told him this. After hearing this, Li Du asked, ”Why were you so persistent about giving me this gift?”

The little girl remained quiet and sipped the juice with her head lowered.

Li Du had work to do, and seeing that she did not wish to speak further, he let her play there with Ah Meow, Ah Ow, and Crispy Noodles.

When he was about to leave, the little girl said, ”Brother, are you going to do work?”

Li Du nodded. ”Yes.”
