Actually, when Xie Yingying said that she wanted to knit a scarf for her boyfriend that day, Xue Xi did not think of Xiang Huai at first. She only thought of the teacher but had never thought of doing it herself.
However, when she left and went to the boutique to ask Xiang Huai to help her choose the wool, she turned to look at Xiang Huai, who was standing at the door.
The man was dressed in black and was hiding in a place that was not illuminated by the sun. However, this man had always been giving her sunlight in her life.
She had grown up in an orphanage and did not know much about the ways of the world. Hence, she was slow when it came to feelings.
As for Xiang Huai, although at first their relationship was because she would die if she did not fall in love, the companionship she had been having with him for more than a year made her feel the sweetness of warmth and love no matter how slow she was.
She was unromantic, but he never felt aggrieved.
Hence, she said to the store assistant, “Wait a moment. I’ll go get another set.”
She’d bought two sets of wool.
After buying it, she could not wait to knit it for him. Hence, she returned home that night. When she asked Ye Li to knit one for the teacher, she was actually watching and learning from the side.
Afraid that Ye Li would laugh at her if she found out, Xue Xi did not dare to knit a scarf at home. Hence, she brought the wool to school.
These last few days…
She was reading in the day because Xie Yingying was staring at her.
At night, when Xie Yingying finally fell asleep, Xue Xi would take out the messy wool and knit a scarf.
She did not stay up that late!
She learned things quickly, but it was her first time weaving a scarf, so she had a rough time. It took her a few days to finish.
However, she felt that it was too ugly and did not want to give it away.
Hence, after Xiang Huai’s hint today, she did not respond. It was only when she said that the scarf was for the teacher and saw the disappointment on the man’s face that she thought, Forget it, I’ll give it to him.
However—
Xue Xi looked at Xiang Huai and saw the man staring at the scarf, but he did not reach out to take it…
Did he find it too ugly?
Xue Xi could not help but say, “Forget it. I’ll have my mother knit one again.”
Just as she was about to take it back, Xiang Huai suddenly reached out and snatched the scarf away. “No need. This is good enough.”
Xiang Huai was stunned.
He felt as though he was on a rollercoaster tonight. He was initially looking forward to the gift, but he was suddenly splashed with cold water. His mood had fallen to rock bottom.
He had originally thought that the little kid would definitely not have any gifts for him. After all, the little kid’s birthday was in March. Back then, he was on a mission and was not in the country, so he did not give her any gifts.
In the end, the surprise came so quickly.
He stared at the bag with the scarf in his hand. It was dark inside and he could not see the shape of the scarf clearly. However, he still held the bag tightly as though he was protecting the most precious thing.
He then pretended to be calm and looked at Xue Xi. “Little kid, I really like this scarf.”
After saying that, he threw the scarf she had given Omnipotent Boss into the car. He then held his scarf in one hand and rubbed Xue Xi’s head with the other. “Take care of your health. Go back inside.”
“…Oh.”
Xue Xi turned around and walked toward the dormitory.
Along the way, she did not even turn around. She looked cold and heartless.
However… Xiang Huai looked at the scarf in his hand and felt that it was very warm.
When Xue Xi entered the dormitory, Xiang Huai returned to the car and opened the bag to take a look. The scarf was indeed a little tragic.
Some parts were very tight while others were very loose. It looked crooked.
However, Xiang Huai stared at the scarf and smiled.
He started the car and returned to the special department.
Just as he entered, Jing Fei saw his boss walking in with two bags in his hands. Hence, he shouted, “Boss!”
Xiang Huai usually did not come to the police station. He specially came today because he realized that there was no one at his office.
When he saw Jing Fei, he coughed and said, “The weather is cold.”
Jing Fei: “?”
He silently looked outside. It was indeed autumn.
He asked in confusion, “Yes, what’s wrong?”
Xiang Huai took out the scarf Xue Xi had knitted and put it on his neck. “Do you think this scarf looks good?”
Jing Fei: “?”
Did Boss get transmigrated today?
Just as he was thinking this, Xiang Huai said, “The little kid knitted it for me.”
Jing Fei: “?”
He looked at the crooked scarf around Xiang Huai’s neck and his lips twitched. He then said against his conscience, “It’s really good-looking. It suits you very well, Boss!”
Xiang Huai did not let him off and continued asking, “Did anyone knit you a scarf?”
Jing Fei: “?”
Who did he offend today? Why did Boss have to give him a huge mouthful of dog food and even prick his heart!
…
…
At the same time, in the Xue family residence.
Ye Li was sitting on the sofa and knitting a scarf. When Xue Sheng got off work, he saw her and said, “Have you started knitting a scarf this early this year?”
Ye Li replied, “Mhm, yes.”
Xue Sheng looked at the gray scarf in Ye Li’s hand and said, “Gray doesn’t suit me!”
Ye Li: “…This is not for you.”
Xue Sheng: “?”
He was stunned. “Then who are you knitting this for?”
Ye Li: “Xiao Xiang!”
Xue Sheng: “!!”
Ye Li turned to look at him and slowly said, “You still don’t know, right? A few days ago, Xixi brought back some wool and asked me to knit a scarf for her. I thought she’d become enlightened, but in the end, it was to be given to her teacher! Xiao Xiang is really pitiful. His parents don’t love him, and his girlfriend doesn’t understand romance. Sigh, I’ll knit one for him and say that it’s Xixi’s handiwork!”
Was it easy for her being a mother?
Afraid that Xiao Xiang would suffer with Xixi, she had to consider everything. Sigh, she was too tired!
Xue Sheng: “…”
In his wife’s heart, it was fine if Xixi came first, but why was Xiao Xiang’s status higher than his? This was too much!
…
…
Xue Xi returned to the dormitory and picked up her book to read.
Ever since the project was established, she was definitely the busiest person because she had to lead the entire team. Not only did she have to hand out tasks to each group, but she also had to manage the purchasing of the equipment.
He Gao had already bought the equipment and brought the people from the Sports Department to build an experimental environment in the laboratory.
Tomorrow, the laboratory would also be officially put to use. This weekend, she would not be going home. The people participating in the project would come to school. It was everyone’s first time seeing their own office area.
Xue Xi lowered her head and tidied up her things. At this moment, the door was pushed open and Li Zixia walked in.
She held a box in her hand and said, “I’ll squeeze with Xie Yingying and not go home this weekend.”
After unpacking, she took out her phone to watch an entertainment program and sat beside Xue Xi. “Sister Xi, have you seen The Most Beautiful Girl? Sister Shuang’s votes are a bit in danger!”
