"I’m sure! I’m certainly sure!" Sydney nodded very seriously, showing that she had really learned and didn't need him anymore.
Watching her confident face, Julien shook his head with a smile, "OK, then do it. I'll just wait and see your work."
He would like to see if she really didn't need him.
"Don't worry, I won't let you down," Sydney smiled at him, then turned her head back, and began to carve.
Seeing that she was ignoring him, Julien patted her head and leaned against the wall with his arms folded.
Sydney turned around and stared at him, "What are you doing?"
"Nothing, just patting an ungrateful person," Julien shrugged.
Sydney glared at him, "Ungrateful? I’m not ungrateful!"
"You are," Julien spread his hands, "I just taught you, and now you ignore me. Aren't you ungrateful? You are not only ungrateful but also heartless."
"You..." Sydney was speechless because what Julien said seemed to have some truth.
She did ignore him after she had learned how to carve.
Now she also thought she was a little ungrateful.
For a moment, Sydney blushed with embarrassment.
When Julien saw her like this, he stopped teasing her. He stepped forward and rubbed her hair gently. Soon her hair was rumpled up by him again.
Then he comforted her, "All right, I’m teasing you. Don't think too much, okay?"
Sydney pushed his hand away from the top of her head angrily, "Go away. I don't want to talk to you."
"You really won’t talk to me?" Julien squinted.
Sydney rolled her eyes, "If you still want to eat later, don't bother me. Aren't you hungry?"
Julien nodded his head, "I'm a little hungry."
"Then get out of the way. When I finish carving this orchid, we can eat together," Sydney waved her hand and urged him to leave her alone.
Julien chuckled, "OK, I won’t bother you. Enjoy your time."
Seeing that she was so impatient, Julien stopped talking to give her quiet time.
Sydney moved her wrist, bowed her head, and continued to carve.
Unexpectedly, it was not easy as she had thought.
Se had learned some carving skills, and just now she carved very smoothly with Julien’s help. She didn't know why now she was having a hard time carving.
Every time she moved the carving knife, she could feel the obvious resistance.
When Julien held her hands, the pumpkin could easily be carved into any shape she wanted, but now she needed to use a little more effort to change the shape of the pumpkin.
In less than two minutes, she clearly felt that her arms were a little sour, just like the feeling she had had before Julien came to help her.
Sydney couldn’t help asking herself, ‘What's going on? Why?’
She stopped carving, looked down at the carving knife in her hand, and then stared in a daze at the orchid that was almost finished.
Seeing this, Julien asked, "What's wrong? Have you finished?"
