After crying, Zhang Tiantian’s mood improved and she thought of the serious matter again.

She turned around and her expression changed instantly. She smiled brightly. “Junior Brother, are you willing to make a fan with me?”

The tears on her face had yet to dry. She had an expression to flatter him, like someone who wanted to steal oil.

Little Cat paused. “You can buy one.” Zhang Tiantian was the daughter of Patriarch Zhang. It would not be a problem to buy hundreds or thousands of them.

Little Cat’s tone was much gentler, and his expression was not so cold. Zhang Tiantian felt that there was a chance and continued to say. “Aiya, it’s only interesting if you make it yourself. Anyway, you’re also studying the spray fan. We’ll have company if we do it together.”

Her tone was familiar, and her eyes were big and round. She was just short of scribbling the words “agree to it quickly” on her face.

Little Cat did not speak. Zhang Tiantian immediately changed her plan. She placed her hands on her hips and said rudely, “If you don’t agree, I’ll follow you every day and block your door to ruin your reputation!”

Little Cat looked at her with a complicated expression, as if he did not understand why Zhang Tiantian, who was clearly two years older than him and half a head taller, was still so childish.

However, if he did not agree to Zhang Tiantian’s request, with her stubborn personality, she would definitely not stop.

Little Cat didn’t want to attract attention. To, avoid trouble, he finally nodded. “Alright.”

Although he sounded forced, she had still achieved her goal. Zhang Tiantian jumped up excitedly. “Why didn’t you agree long ago? You made me cry.”

Little Cat didn’t answer. He glanced at her red eyes. “What kind of fan do you want?”

Zhang Tiantian immediately started talking. “I like the ones with little bears, as well as flowers and Little Cat.”

After muttering Little Cat’s name, Zhang Tiantian blushed and immediately explained, “I’m talking about the fan, not you.” She was afraid that Little Cat would misunderstand and looked anxious.

Little Cat didn’t mind. “Pick one. I’ll teach you how to draw a sample.”

Zhang Tiantian smiled happily. “Alright, then. Let’s use a fan that’s like a small flower. Every petal will be painted with different colors. It will definitely be especially beautiful.”

“Yeah.”

When she finally found Zhang Tiantian, Xiao Xue panted and said, “Miss, Madam is looking for you everywhere. Let’s go back quickly!”

Zhang Tiantian’s eyes widened. “Why is my mother looking for me?”

Xiao Xue said anxiously, “I thought you ran home. I didn’t expect Madam to bump into me. She sent people everywhere to look for you.”

Zhang Tiantian felt a headache coming on. She looked at Little Cat bitterly. “I’ll go back first. Remember to wait for me after school tomorrow.” With that, she ran home without waiting for Little Cat’s response.

As soon as Zhang Tiantian left, the sea quietened down.

When Little Cat returned home, Tao Yinzhen suddenly rushed over and hugged him. She sobbed softly and said, “Your father, your father has left.”

Little Cat was shocked and rushed to the room on the second floor. Ren Shuixing was lying quietly on the bed as usual, but at this moment, it was too quiet.

Ren Shuixing was really dead.

Little Cat walked to the bed and slowly closed his eyes.

Suddenly, he felt an itch on his face. He reached out and wiped it. It was tears.

Ren Shuixing’s funeral needed to be held and there would be many things to do. Little Cat could not go to school. Cui Shize was worried that Little Cat and Tao Yinzhen would not be able to handle it, so he brought his fellow disciples to help.

That afternoon after school, Zhang Tiantian did not see Little Cat and rushed to Little Cat’s house angrily to settle the score.

However, there were white tents and white lanterns hanging at Little Cat’s house.

From afar, she saw Little Cat kneeling at the door with his head lowered, welcoming every family and friend who came.

The shadows on the wall cast on his small figure, making him look lonely and pitiful.

After knowing that Little Cat’s father had passed away, Zhang Tiantian felt even more sorry for him. “It was no wonder he didn’t smile at all.”

The funeral matters in the ancient times were extremely complicated. The way to conduct it in Carefree City was slightly simplified. After more than half a month, when the weather was no longer hot, Zhang Tiantian finally saw Little Cat again.

After not seeing him for more than half a month, Little Cat had lost weight and grown taller.

Zhang Tiantian rushed forward. “Junior Brother!”

She pounced on him like a chick. Little Cat remembered his agreement with her. “Sorry, something cropped up at home.”

Zhang Tiantian shook her head. “It is fine. Are you alright?”

Little Cat shook his head, his expression as cold as ever. “You still want to make a fan?” But who would be happy after losing their father?

Zhang Tiantian said considerately, “Yes, yes, we can make it anytime. If you have anything to do, we can do it in the future.”

“Okay.”

The fan that Little Cat had taught her to make was the simplest in structure, but it would take Zhang Tiantian at least a few months to slowly polish a complete piece of wood into parts for the fan.

Little Cat directly asked her to give up on the wood and give her a wooden board. She asked her to outline the prototype on the wooden board according to the blueprint.

Zhang Tiantian was quite good at drawing. After a while, she drew a model.

Little Cat picked up the sawtooth and cut while she watched from the side.

Little Cat sawed for a long time, and Zhang Tiantian was tired from standing. She was listless and even felt a little bored.

Little Cat suddenly said, “Sit down. If you still want to make a fan in the future, you can hand it to your servants.”

Zhang Tiantian’s face heated up, but she did not answer. She turned to look at Little Cat’s huge fan and asked curiously, “I felt that it was quite cool last time. How is it not perfect yet?”

As Little Cat polished the wooden board, he said, “You have to use an endless stream of ice for the spray fan. Secondly, even if you shake it for 15 minutes, you can’t maintain the wind circulation for 15 minutes.”

After Zhang Tiantian heard this, she did not think that it was difficult. “You have to use ice for the spray fan. Anyway, it’s not like the Great Empress can’t afford to use ice. You don’t have to worry about it. Also, can’t the waterwheel keep spinning? Why don’t you ask the windmill driver? Perhaps the melted ice water will become the driving force for the circulation!”

Her seemingly unintentional words actually made sense.

Little Cat was stunned for a moment. He suddenly put down the wooden board in his hand. “I’ll try now.”

Zhang Tiantian said happily, “See, I told you that I would give you inspiration, but you didn’t believe me.”

The power of the waterwheel circulation looked simple, but it was not as simple as he had imagined. Even after Little Cat sent Zhang Tiantian away, he still lit the lights and polished the parts in the courtyard.

After another seven to eight days, when it was finally autumn, Little Cat’s spray fan was completed.

The spray fan was quite big. There was a square container for ice at the back and the fan in front. As long as the ice was placed in the container and one shook it once, the circulatory structure connecting the fan to the base would be activated. It could keep spinning and blow out cool air, causing the temperature in the room to quickly decrease.

Some of the melted ice water was collected, and some was constantly supplied to the circulatory system.

Little Cat had tried it. A bucket of ice worth 50 copper coins could keep the temperature in the room low for an entire day.

Even without ice, it only took some water to keep the room cool.

There was no need for it now that it was autumn, but it would definitely be useful the next year.

Little Cat had already treated Zhang Tiantian as a friend. The moment it was complete, he let her see the complete spray fan first..
