Yes, Chun, I thought it was a bit more rigid to the touch. Thanks Teresa.
Looks like an egg sac of some sort. Cool find!
Did you felt it? Scale insects' white "hairs" usually comes off easily. If it is an egg sac, it's white fluff may not fall off easily.
It is possibly a scale insect as you have suspected or probably just an egg sac.
