Chapter 127 Nice scarf

Chapter 127 Nice scarf

"Uh... yes, the craftsmanship is very average, you just have to wear it!" Tian Xin glanced at the scarf in Lin Zhou's hand and felt a little embarrassed.

After returning from the county, she'd been thinking about what would be a suitable gift. She couldn't afford anything expensive, and Lin Zhou wouldn't necessarily appreciate a cheap one. He wasn't short of money, and had seen far more fine things than she had. After much deliberation, she decided it would be more practical to make something for him herself.

Scarves are warm, simple to make, and can be knitted in a few days, making them a perfect choice.

"Very good!" Lin Zhou wrapped the scarf around his neck without caring whether the furry gray scarf matched his blue sweatshirt today.

"It looks great! I like it! Thank you, Tian Xin." His words were concise and his eyes were full of joy. He said: "This is the best gift I have ever received!"

"Aren't you hot?" Tian Xin smiled and said, "This... doesn't match!" She pointed at his blue sweatshirt.

Lin Zhou didn't care whether it matched or not, he just thought that when she was knitting the scarf stitch by stitch, she would probably think of him in her heart.

That's enough!

He got out of the car and walked around to the other side to open the door for her: "Let's go!"

"Are you sure you want to wear it?" Tian Xin frowned, looking embarrassed: "Isn't it hot?"

Lin Zhou didn't answer, but suddenly bent down.

She leaned back in her chair and saw him suddenly lower his head. She was so startled that she dared not move. She quickly turned her head to look to the other side...

A faint minty fragrance floated around, which was the scent of Lin Zhou.

She held her breath and didn't dare look back.

A moment later, there was a sudden "click" sound from the seat. She looked down and breathed a sigh of relief.

Oh, yes... unbuckle your seat belt!

"Okay, let's go!" Lin Zhou looked up inadvertently and met Tian Xin's blushing face.

"Let's go...let's go!" She was panicked and eager to escape from this space where her heart was beating uncontrollably, but she forgot that Lin Zhou was still lowering his head.

The two men moved forward and backward in panic, and with a loud bang, Lin Zhou's head hit the roof of the car.

"Hiss—" He gasped in pain, covered his head and got out of the car.

Ah Xi! What’s going on!!!

She quickly got out of the car and stood on tiptoe to check his covered head: "Are you okay? Let me take a look!" As she looked, her hand subconsciously reached out to rub his head.

“…”

"It will only take two hits, just bear with it!" She said softly, rubbing the place where she was hit with her fingertips, not noticing that Lin Zhou beside her had been completely petrified.

After rubbing it a few times, she asked, "Does it still hurt?"

“…” Lin Zhou said nothing.

"Does it still hurt?" Seeing that he didn't respond, she asked again.

“…”

"Uh... she suddenly realized: This... I was so anxious just now, why did I do it?

Oh——ah!

She withdrew her hand awkwardly and turned her back, thinking: Damn hand, why are you doing it so quickly?

Seeing her turn her back, Lin Zhou said awkwardly: "No...it's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore, let's go!" Then he quickly closed the car door and strode towards the inpatient building.

She quickly trotted after him.

Zhang Shuai didn't lie. He was indeed able to sit up, but he still looked very weak.

Zhang Shuai's mother seemed a little surprised when she saw the two people come in. She quickly stood up and greeted them, "My daughter, you're here?"

"Well, let's come see Zhang Shuai." Tian Xin smiled and said, "Auntie, how have you been lately?"

Zhang Shuai's mother pulled her to sit down and said with a smile: "That's great! Young man, you sit down too!"

Lin Zhou pulled over a nearby stool and sat down. Before he could say anything, Zhang Shuai suddenly pointed at his neck and said, "Nice scarf!"

These four words have neither a prefix nor a sequel, and there is only a monotonous sentence and nothing else.

Tian Xin turned her head to look at him. Zhang Shuai had a calm expression on his face, but his eyes never left the scarf.

"Oh, huh!" Lin Zhou glanced down and said, "I think it's pretty good too!"

"Isn't this hand-knitted by the boss?" Zhang Shuai turned his head and looked at Tian Xin: "It has the same stitching as your sweater!"

"You can even see that! It seems like he's recovered well recently, at least his brain is fine!" Tian Xin teased with a smile.

A sense of loss quickly appeared in Zhang Shuai's eyes. He turned his gaze to her face and said lightly: "I don't have anything!"

“…”

“…”

“…”

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the three people opposite changed.

Zhang Shuai's mother noticed her son was acting strangely, so she changed the subject: "Son, do you want to eat something? The IV drip will be finished soon. I'll go get you some food. What do you want to eat?"

"I don't want to eat!" Zhang Shuai turned his head and said.

Zhang Shuai's mother was suddenly embarrassed. "He's been emotionally unstable lately and prone to temper tantrums. Don't worry, my dear! It might be the effects of hormones!"

"It's okay, Auntie, I know!" Tian Xin said soothingly with a smile, but then her face changed. She quickly reached out and grabbed Zhang Shuai's ear, turning his face around: "Your temper has gotten worse, but your memory has gotten worse!"

"It hurts, Boss!" Zhang Shuai pulled her hand away from her ear and held it tightly. "It's been so long since we last met, I thought you'd forgotten I existed!"

"How is that possible? Am I not here right now?"

Lin Zhou had noticed something was wrong with Zhang Shuai's look at Tian Xin the moment he entered. Seeing him holding her hand tightly, he said, "She's been very busy lately. Things have been piling up at your factory, and she just finished her work and came here without even taking a break! How could you say that?"

"Really?" Zhang Shuai gave him a cold look: "You know it very well!"

Yes! How could he know? Tian Xin was also confused.

Why are these two people acting so abnormal today?

One of them said he had something to ask her and called her out, but then stopped talking after she came out. The other one spoke strangely and had a bad temper!

It is understandable that Zhang Shuai lost her temper. It was the effect of the medicine and her mind was unstable.

What about Lin Zhou? What was she hiding? She was anxious but wouldn't tell me, and I knew she was busy with factory work lately.

"You've arranged someone else around her, haven't you?" Zhang Shuai suddenly said, "That's fine, that suits your style! I'm useless, there's no way..."

"Okay, why are you talking about this!" Tian Xin interrupted, "I told him I've been busy with factory work lately!"

She took out the certificate and envelope from her bag: "Look, this is your bonus and the certificate!"

Zhang Shuai took a quick glance and turned his head away.

She pulled his ear again and turned his head around, continuing, "Do you know what this means?"

“…” Zhang Shuai remained silent.

"This means you're the best among the more than a hundred people in the factory!" She continued, "You're the only one in the entire transport team! The bonus is 2,200 yuan, which is one month's salary, right?"

“…”

Zhang Shuai remained silent, but a hint of joy appeared in his eyes: Is she... praising him?

"You're really good!" Tian Xin continued, "Stop calling yourself useless. Don't say a single word of that kind of depressing stuff anymore! Do you hear me?"
