Chapter 235 Mysterious Pattern
Chapter 235 Mysterious Pattern
Time flies by, and in a blink of an eye, I've already spent a wonderful week back at Ceres with the children! During this seemingly short, yet incredibly fulfilling, time, those adorable children, like the rising sun, have gradually adapted to this brand-new environment and forged deep and sincere friendships with their peers at an astonishing rate.
Whenever I see their sweet, innocent smiles, blooming like spring flowers, my heart feels like it's being gently caressed by a warm spring breeze, instantly filled with endless comfort and indescribable joy. It's as if all my fatigue and worries have vanished in that moment, leaving behind only a pure and beautiful world.
Now, everything in life is like a smoothly running train, moving forward smoothly along the established track, and it has completely entered the right track. So, on such a beautiful day, I resolutely made an important decision - to lead these lively and adorable little babies on a new journey of exploration.
Today, we will all journey together to the brand new, functional classroom, radiating a mysterious light, to personally experience the captivating charm of the art of embroidery. I sincerely hope that the children will gain knowledge, broaden their horizons, and thoroughly enjoy the endless fun on this wonderful journey.
When I solemnly announced this exciting news, the children, who had been somewhat boisterous, instantly quieted down. But only a second later, they erupted in earth-shaking cheers! The sound resounded through the sky, as if it was about to burst through the roof. Their little faces were filled with irrepressible excitement, and their bright eyes sparkled with a dazzling mixture of curiosity and anticipation.
These little guys couldn't contain their excitement and couldn't wait to follow me closely, just like a group of happy little birds surrounding their mother. Along the way, they chattered like little sparrows and enthusiastically discussed the new and exciting experiences that were about to come. Their childlike innocence and fun kept coming.
On the way to our destination, I expertly opened the nursery's dedicated BiLin account and began a unique livestream. I carefully adjusted the small, delicate hovering camera to focus on my perspective and walked briskly toward the embroidery workshop. From a distance, I saw the master embroiderer already standing at the door, quietly awaiting our uninvited guests.
As I approached the embroidery workshop, my eyes lit up—it was a truly remarkable transformation since my last visit! The entire place was decorated in an antique and charming atmosphere. Stepping inside felt like stepping back in time. The exquisitely carved doors and windows, elegant screens, and quaint tables and chairs all evoked a rich historical atmosphere and the charm of traditional culture.
I led the children slowly into the embroidery workshop, smiling broadly. The master warmly invited everyone to sit around a large table. Looking closely, I saw a variety of colorful and dazzling silk threads neatly arranged on the table, radiating a captivating brilliance like a rainbow. Furthermore, numerous intricately crafted and uniquely shaped embroidery frames were neatly arranged there, like precious works of art.
At this moment, the master gently picked up a long, thin embroidery needle and skillfully and gracefully began to demonstrate the most basic needlework to the children. Seeing this, the children opened their round eyes wide and stared at the needle and thread in the master's hand with full concentration, afraid to miss any subtle movements or key points of technique.
Suddenly, the youngest Maggie timidly raised her pink little hands as tender as lotus root nodes, blinked her big watery eyes, and asked the master curiously: "Master, after we finish these embroidery, can we give them to others?" The master nodded slightly, with a warm smile like the spring sun on his face, and replied softly: "Of course you can, my little Maggie. As long as you are willing, these beautiful embroidery works can become gifts that convey your thoughts and warmth." After receiving the affirmative answer, Maggie was as happy as a happy little bird, and the other children were encouraged and couldn't wait to pick up their needles and threads to try embroidery.
Meanwhile, the mischievous Yaheng was concentrating on embroidering the fabric in his hands, trying to show off his unique creativity. However, a sharp needle pierced his fingertip, and blood immediately oozed out. But the resilient little fellow simply frowned, gritted his teeth, and said stubbornly, "It doesn't hurt at all!" before continuing to toil away.
Just then, my gaze strayed to the corner of the room, and a unique piece of embroidery caught my eye. The pattern resembled an intricate ancient interstellar map, its lines delicate and flowing, as if telling of an untold story. Just as I was filled with suspicion and speculation, my master approached me silently, like a ghost. He lowered his voice and whispered mysteriously, "Child, don't underestimate this embroidery. Legend has it that it was left behind by a mysterious visitor long ago. And according to legend, it seems to hold the hidden secrets of Ceres." Hearing these words, my heart trembled, and my astonishment was beyond words. I had never imagined that this seemingly ordinary embroidery workshop could conceal such a jaw-dropping wonder.
At that moment, the innocent children were still immersed in the endless joy of embroidery, sometimes celebrating with joy over a delicate, alluring flower, sometimes agonizing over a careless stitch. However, my thoughts were already gripped by the mysterious embroidery, and I couldn't help but ponder its hidden meaning. Could this embroidery truly be inextricably linked to our lives on Ceres? If so, what unexpected changes would unraveling this mystery bring to our future? A series of questions flooded my mind, plunging me into deep contemplation...
I took a deep breath, trying to suppress the doubts surging in my heart. The most important thing right now was to focus completely on the livestream. My eyes were fixed on the rapidly scrolling comments section in the livestream room. It was filled with generous praise from viewers for the children's exquisite embroidery works, mixed with curious and inquiring questions.
"Hello, is it difficult to learn such exquisite embroidery techniques?" One message caught my eye. I smiled and replied in a gentle and friendly tone, "Actually, with enough patience and perseverance, even young children can master this craft."
At that moment, my gaze drifted involuntarily to the embroidery that still exuded a mysterious aura. Despite my best efforts to suppress it, the deep desire to explore its details gnawed at me like a thousand ants, making me itch. Seizing the brief moment when the children were absorbed in their embroidery, I could no longer suppress my intense curiosity. I quietly moved over and stood before the embroidery once again, examining it carefully and attentively.
Master slowly walked over to my side. His broad, warm hand gently rested on my shoulder. He spoke earnestly, "Girl, I know you're incredibly curious, but this thing has existed for so long, and no one has yet been able to decipher its secrets."
I pouted, defiantly retorting, "Master, how do you know we won't find any clues? What if there's some detail our predecessors overlooked that we'll just discover?" Just then, a clear shout erupted from the crowd. A sharp-eyed, observant child excitedly pointed at the exquisite embroidery and exclaimed, "Teacher, look! This pattern is exactly the same as the one on that strange rock behind our kindergarten!"
Everyone present was stunned, looking at each other in bewilderment. My master and I exchanged a quick glance, both of us feeling a surge of inexplicable, strange premonition. Could it be that these seemingly unrelated things actually hold some hidden connection? If so, wouldn't that mean we're a crucial step closer to uncovering the truth behind the mysterious Ceres? My excitement grew at this thought. I secretly resolved that after this embroidery event was over, I would take these lovely children with me to the site of the stone and explore it thoroughly to see if I could find any more valuable clues.
