CHAPTER 283: CHAPTER 283: MASTER, PLEASE FORGIVE MY IGNORANCE

Su Jinjin took the wood carving, examined it, and happily said, "Hmm, I love it so much, it looks just like me!"

The statue seemed like her miniature version—a youthful and vivid young lady, so lifelike it seemed as though she might move the next second.

Lin Fan’s masterful craftsmanship is hard not to like.

Although Su Jinjin does not understand wood carving, Lin Fan made the carving so exquisite that it surely must be excellent. Furthermore, comparing with the stall owner made it clear—though the stall owner started earlier, he only made a prototype, while Lin Fan had already completed his work.

It was apparent that, at least in terms of speed, Lin Fan had won over this stall owner. As for the finished product, it would have to be seen how it compared once the stall owner completed his work.

Thud!

Suddenly, the stall owner knelt in front of Lin Fan.

"Master, please forgive my ignorance!"

The stall owner shouted loudly.

Lin Fan’s remarkable skill left him no choice but to kneel in admiration; how could he dare to continue competing with Lin Fan? It would be an utter humiliation.

Among those present, perhaps no one understood wood carving better than this stall owner. Naturally, no one knew better than him how formidable Lin Fan was.

If wood carving skills were graded, the stall owner believed he had achieved some success, but Lin Fan’s realm was already divine and transcendent!

He reached a supreme realm!

The stall owner simply couldn’t discern Lin Fan’s technique!

How on earth did he make the statue so lifelike—the mere technique of covering the statue with wood shavings in the end was beyond what the stall owner could ever imagine in his dreams.

Simply too formidable; the stall owner was deeply impressed.

He couldn’t help but kneel, as naturally as a monk seeing the Buddha or a Taoist seeing an Immortal.

Seeing the stall owner kneel, Lin Fan smiled slightly, "Get up quickly, there’s no need for such a grand gesture."

The stall owner said, "Master, your skill is simply breathtaking. Could you possibly guide me a little? It would surely benefit me for a lifetime. Please, Master?"

This guy had mocked Lin Fan so arrogantly earlier and called over so many passersby, trying to make Lin Fan lose face in public.

Lin Fan had no interest in guiding such a person.

"I previously said your skills were average; are you willing to accept this fact now?" Lin Fan calmly said.

The stall owner nodded continuously, "Yes, I am indeed average and don’t dare to compare with the Master. I was so ignorant."

The stall owner regretted it deeply; had he known Lin Fan was a master, he wouldn’t have dared to compare even if he had ten times the courage.

Before, he even said Lin Fan was overestimating his abilities; little did he know it was really him who was overestimating himself!

Lin Fan said, "Alright then, as for guiding you, sorry, not interested. Jinjin, let’s go."

Upon saying this, Lin Fan returned to the electric scooter. Amidst the crowd watching, he left with Su Jinjin, leaving behind a carefree figure.

"So handsome!"

"A true master hidden among the people; he’s so amazing! A master-level figure!"

"Now I understand why he can have such a beautiful girlfriend; he’s incredible!"

"Suddenly I’m so jealous of his girlfriend; she found such an amazing boyfriend!"

The crowd marveled and praised Lin Fan unanimously, having already forgotten they were mocking him a moment ago.

Seeing Lin Fan leave, the stall owner slumped to the ground powerlessly, his face pale, as if he had missed the lottery jackpot.

He regretted it so much; it must have been because he offended the Master. That’s why the Master was unwilling to guide him. Had he known, he should have flattered the Master from the start. Lin Fan’s skills are unmatched, the very best.

The stall owner always prided himself on his ancestral skills, never failing to mention them.

However, compared to Lin Fan’s profound craftsmanship, his ancestral skills instantly turned to trash.

Thinking of this, the stall owner, in his agitation, picked up the wood carving in front of him and heavily smashed it onto the ground, breaking the carving.

"Having witnessed the Master’s divine craftsmanship, how can I have the face to call myself an artisan? Enough, I will never carve again in this life!" The stall owner lamented to the sky. Missing the chance for Lin Fan’s guidance would be his lifelong regret.

The onlookers sighed at this scene, but it was the stall owner’s own doing, not Lin Fan’s fault.

By this time, Lin Fan had already gone far.

Though he wasn’t interested in competing with the stall owner, the final outcome still felt a bit satisfying to him. These people insisted on him proving them wrong, so he obliged.

The stall owner had no chance of defeating him because he possessed the top-notch craftsmanship skill rewarded by the system.

This reward had proven its might time and time again. Just casually mixing an orange juice could make Feng Ruolan’s taste buds explode in praise; casually doing something on the production line could leave the fastest person ten streets behind...

Sitting in the back seat, Su Jinjin was toying with the wood carving in her hands, liking it more and more.

This wood carving was crafted so well, and it was a gift Lin Fan personally made for her—exceptionally meaningful. She decided to treasure it properly after returning home.

"Lin Fan, when did you learn to carve, and how are you so good? I never knew before," Su Jinjin curiously asked.

In the afternoon, watching Lin Fan play with building blocks had already piqued her curiosity. Lin Fan’s hands were simply amazing.

Lin Fan replied casually, "I was really bored for a while and just learned randomly online."

Upon hearing this, Su Jinjin felt a bit melancholy; when Lin Fan said he was really bored for a while, it was naturally the time after they broke up.

Perhaps Lin Fan learned the craft to escape reality during that time.

Thinking of this, she felt a bit guilty, wondering how Lin Fan had managed over the past three years.

Suddenly, she realized something. Yes, she had an inherent sense of guilt towards Lin Fan.

This guilt had always been there, she just never wanted to confront it.

If she had been determined enough back then, she could have cut ties with the Su Family and stayed with Lin Fan, but she couldn’t do it. In the end, her grandmother sent her abroad.

She felt she had let Lin Fan down; it was her weakness that ultimately drove them apart.

Three years later, Lin Fan came back to her side; not only did he not blame her, but he also helped her out of her predicament. Without Lin Fan, she wouldn’t have the current status in the Su Family.

This made her unable to accept everything calmly. She always felt she needed to do something to balance her inner feelings, to make herself feel better.

She had never known what she should do.

However, after spending time with Lin Fan today, at this moment, listening to Lin Fan’s seemingly casual talk and looking at the wood carving in her hand, she suddenly knew what she had to do.

She, Su Jinjin, wants to become Lin Fan’s girlfriend again!

She wants to become Lin Fan’s girlfriend once more, start loving him all over again, love him passionately to make up for those lost three years!

This thought suddenly made everything clear for her, filled her with energy.

Her heart surged like a wave, unstoppable in its excitement.
