Chapter 239 The Great Son Knits a Scarf for His Elderly Father



The next morning, Gu Xinghe stood by the window in his room, watching Theresa and the others leave.

However, at this moment of parting, Gu Xinghe did not choose to go downstairs to see them off.

Even when the girls left, they didn't inform Gu Xinghe.

They deliberately left early before Gu Xinghe woke up.

However, the extremely close proximity of them sleeping in the same room made Gu Xinghe notice them as soon as they made a move.

However, Gu Xinghe, who possesses the ability to read minds, also sensed that the girls seemed unwilling to say goodbye to him after he woke up.

So, Gu Xinghe, sensing their feelings, pretended not to know and didn't wake up.

I can only stand by the window now, watching them leave.

Fortunately, after accepting the "withered" tentacles offered by Gu Xinghe...

By this time, they were already capable of long-distance location tracking and communication.

Alone at the small restaurant, Gu Xinghe enjoyed the breakfast that the girls had prepared for him before they left.

"Cough—cough—cough—"

However, when Gu Xinghe drank the milk in the glass next to him, he couldn't help but choke and cough.

In fact, Gu Xinghe, with his keen mental abilities, has an intuitive sense and warning of potential dangers.

But perhaps it's because he rarely puts his guard up around people close to him.

Furthermore, the form of this prank in front of them was clearly not dangerous.

So, after taking a sip of the milk in his hand, Gu Xinghe realized he had been "caught"—

In the sip of milk he had just taken, Gu Xinghe felt that he tasted a very strong sour and astringent flavor.

If I had to describe it, the taste might be comparable to the concentrated juice of a hundred lemons.

The sudden, intense sour smell even snapped Gu Xinghe out of his drowsy state.

However, the girls who were preparing breakfast still really liked Gu Xinghe.

This was just a little prank they played on him.

So, after the strong sourness dissipated, Gu Xinghe gradually felt a sweet aftertaste spreading from the tip of his tongue.

At this moment, Gu Xinghe suddenly remembered—

This extreme sourness followed by a sweetness likely comes from a fruit called moonberry.

Sure enough, when Gu Xinghe drank the milk in the glass again...

The milk no longer tasted sour; instead, it had a sweet flavor, like it had been infused with honey.

Aside from the extremely sour taste you'll experience on the first bite.

The taste of Tsukiyama strawberry is indeed a layered sweetness.

Moreover, for some outsiders, a glass of moonberry milk is actually a rare delicacy.

Such a unique flavor is not commonly found in other ingredients.

Therefore, perhaps it shouldn't even be called a small prank when it comes to the milk that the girls prepared for Gu Xinghe.

Perhaps it doesn't even qualify as a prank, but rather as a dish with a somewhat unique flavor.

But in fact, Gu Xinghe also knew that the cup of milk the girls had prepared for him was meant to "refresh" him.

It was actually just "revenge" for his somewhat excessive behavior last night.

He gently shook his head, finished his milk, and ate all the breakfast prepared by the girls.

Gu Xinghe wiped his mouth and then returned to his room, which had been a long time coming.

In fact, using the word "long time no see" to describe it seems to be perfectly appropriate.

To his shame, Gu Xinghe did not spend the night in his own room during the time that Teresa and the others were at the manor.

Because he usually spends most of his time accompanying Theresa and others on tours of the manor, he rarely goes back to his own room.

So, during this time, it was clearly his own room.

But Gu Xinghe had become a familiar stranger to it.

However, just as he was about to enter the room, Gu Xinghe felt as if he had forgotten something—

That's right, it was clearly the Ruby Spider that he had already forgotten about once when he went to the park with Mia.

When he returned to Rose Manor after clearing the previous dungeon, "Crop Circles".

Gu Xinghe fed the Red Jade Spider the insect eggs he had obtained in this instance.

As a result, the red spider has fallen into a kind of dormant evolutionary state, like a cocoon.

After several days, Gu Xinghe still saw no sign of it emerging from its cocoon.

So, having not returned to his room for several days, Gu Xinghe...

It is still possible to ascertain the life status of the Red Jade Spider.

After all, the Red Spider was a familiar that had taken his form, and they could also form a mental link.

In fact, Gu Xinghe learned from the mental dialogue that the time when the Red Spider woke up from its slumber was exactly when the banquet had just begun last night.

However, he didn't have the opportunity or time to carefully examine Red Spider's condition at that time.

However, when Gu Xinghe remembered that there were still red spiders that had just "emerged from their cocoons" in his room.

When he walked into his room again a few days later, he wondered if he had gone into the wrong room.

What caught his eye at that moment was a white silk ribbon that was constantly moving on his desk.

But at this moment, perhaps she noticed Gu Xinghe entering the room.

The white "silk" in front of him, which had been flowing like a white river, quickly stopped flowing.

Then, Gu Xinghe saw the shape of the red jade spider emerging from the long silk.

[Father...put on...]

The words, which were not human speech but rather seemed to be a form of communication, reached Gu Xinghe's heart.

At this moment, Gu Xinghe picked up the white "silk" in front of him, which should have been woven by the Red Jade Spider.

It's not wrong to call it "silk," but the "silk" in front of me is clearly woven from spider silk.

The spider silk looked smooth and lustrous.

It has a real silk-like texture to the touch, and feels cool to the touch.

Although no definitive experiments have been conducted, one can tell just by the feel of it on their hands—

After the red jade spider undergoes a "rebirth from its cocoon," the silk it spins is clearly much stronger.

But then, Gu Xinghe remembered the words that the Red Jade Spider had just conveyed.

If we're talking about wearing it...

Gu Xinghe unfolded the silk fabric in his hand and examined it, then confirmed that the object in his hand was a scarf.

If we were to correct this using human terminology, Red Spider should have said "put on" instead of "wear".

However, Gu Xinghe didn't pay much attention to the grammatical error of the Red Jade Spider, and simply put on the scarf made of a special material as instructed.
