"Is... is this really a child's toy?"
Guided by Master Fuli, Lin Ying found her way to Ah Qing's loft. Calling it a loft wasn't entirely accurate, as the upper floors above the second floor of Ah Qing's home were unfinished and unrenovated.
The loft was just the end of the stairs, an upper space beyond the balcony stairwell, built as a storage room with a few pieces of template boards.
Lin Ying climbed up the A-frame ladder, pushed aside the board blocking the storage room door, and saw a series of "little metal toys" that Yu Zhengxi had gifted to Ah Qing when she was a child.
"... Master Fuli, look, shouldn't this be considered an axe?"
With a look of disbelief, Lin Ying reached a hand into the loft and pulled out a pink mini axe, turning around to show it to Master Fuli.
The entire structure of the axe was flat, with an integrated axe head and handle, both of which were adorned with floral cutouts.
