Chapter 87 087 Lu Xuan: You are an idiot who can’t lie! ...
Pei Maomao has always been a carefree person and he didn't take this little incident to heart at all.
He had a more pressing task, which was Lu Xuan's birthday gift.
Pei Maomao, the pie-in-the-sky: "..."
It feels good to draw a pie in the sky, but it's a disaster in reality.
If Lu Xuan knew that he hadn't prepared any gifts, he would skin him alive!
Pei Maomao was so worried that he paced back and forth in the hall anxiously. Where could he find the unique gift that Axuan wanted?
"Pei Qi, what are you doing walking back and forth here? You're making me dizzy." Yi Qi accused dissatisfiedly.
She cursed a lot, but she didn't slow down her work at all.
“Oh…”
Pei Qi swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. Wouldn't it be a confession if he spoke up?
He could only change the subject abruptly, "Yi Qi, what are you doing?"
Pei Qi looked at the ball of yarn in her hand, feeling very confused.
Those balls of yarn look very easy to catch.
The curious cat's unicorn arm suddenly became eager to try.
Yi Qi looked at him warily, subconsciously hiding the ball of yarn behind her back. She sternly warned, "Don't do anything naughty! This is a gift for Cao Wan and Teacher Zhang Xin."
"Gift? What gift?" Pei Maomao tilted her head.
"scarf."
Yi Qi tilted her head back and happily replied, "My mom taught me how to knit a scarf! She said scarves represent warmth and care. Isn't that just like Teacher Cao and the others? They always take care of us."
Pei Qi was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully, "But, if you gave them both scarves, wouldn't that mean you'd have two identical gifts? Wouldn't your gift then be less special?"
Upon hearing this, Yi Qi was furious. She angrily said, "Who said my gift isn't special? I specifically chose the teachers' favorite colors. Moreover, I knitted every stitch myself. There's only one Yi Qi in the world, so how can my scarf not be unique?"
As she spoke, Yi Qi, fearing he wouldn't believe her, pointed out, "Look! Underneath Teacher Cao Wan's scarf, I embroidered a brown bear, and under Teacher Zhang Xin's scarf, I embroidered a yellow rose. How are these two scarves the same? Look, my palms have been pierced so many times by the needle."
Yi Qi raised her palm, which was covered with Band-Aids.
This is where the gap between the original beasts and the evolved species lies. Their thick claws are far less convenient than palms when doing delicate work. This causes Yi Qi to make frequent mistakes and find it difficult to hold the fine needles. It took her a long time to knit two simple scarves.
Yi Qi fiddled with the two scarves and said confidently, "This scarf represents my feelings. My feelings are unique. Do you understand? Idiot!"
Hearing this, Pei Maomao suddenly understood. A burning light flashed in his eyes. He said eagerly, "Then, can you teach me how to knit a scarf? I also want to knit a scarf that is full of my own feelings."
"No!" Yi Qi refused without hesitation.
Pei Maomao: “!!!!!”
Pei Maomao was so anxious that he was running around in circles. He circled around Yi Qi, "Good Yi Qi, oh no, good squad leader, please teach me. Squad Leader Yi, I know you are always the most helpful!"
Pei Qi's call of "Squad Leader Yi" made Yi Qi's heart sweet. Yi Qi wagged her tail and emphasized, "It's not that I don't want to teach you, but the materials I have are just enough to knit a scarf for two teachers. I don't have any extra materials for you to practice on. If you want to learn, you have to pay for the materials yourself!"
The children in the welfare home have no pocket money. All they have is the living expenses from the school cafeteria, and the school cafeteria does not sell these knitwear. The only change Yi Qi has is from the private money she saved from doing some small handicrafts at school and doing small handicrafts for her classmates. That little money is only enough for her to buy the materials for the scarf. It is unthinkable for her to get the materials from her pocket!
Pei Qi grabbed her paw and said without hesitation, "Then I'll give you money and you can help me buy the materials to weave a scarf, okay? I don't know anything about this."
Before Yi Qi could respond, Pei Qi rushed back to the dormitory.
As soon as he returned to the dormitory, he opened the cabinet and took out the piggy bank with ease.
He and Lu Xuan's money were put together, and only the two of them knew the password of the piggy bank. Compared with the greedy little cat, Lu Xuan rarely had personal expenses. His scholarship was saved into the card, and the piggy bank was filled with the change Lu Xuan earned from selling homework. Lu Xuan put all the small change into the piggy bank. At the end of each semester, he would open the piggy bank to count the money inside. If the change was over a hundred, he would deposit it into the bank card.
#Lu Xuan: I don't dare spend it. Pei Qi wants to eat grilled sausages, fried chicken, and live in a big house. There's simply not enough money.#
Lu Xuan looked up at the flustered Pei Qi and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I, I have an emergency."
After saying that, Pei Maomao emptied the change in his piggy bank. He hurried downstairs with the money in his pocket and stuffed it all into Yi Qi's hands. "Is this money enough? If not, I'll find another way."
Yi Qi looked at the string of change in Pei Qi's paws and quickly interrupted, "Don't worry, let's count how much money you brought in first."
"Okay." Pei Qi stood there obediently watching Yi Qi count the money one by one.
Yi Qi glanced at him and said bluntly, "First of all, I won't teach you for free! I'm going to charge you for your skills!"
Pei Qi nodded in agreement, "Okay."
Yi Qi patted the banknotes in her hand lightly. "Here are eighty-five yuan in total. I'll charge five yuan for the craftsmanship, and the remaining eighty yuan can be used to buy materials."
"Is eighty enough to buy the materials?" Pei Qi looked at her eagerly, his amber eyes filled with a hint of doubt.
"fool!"
Yi Qi glared at him with disdain. "Of course, the materials used to weave scarves vary in price. It all depends on the type of thread you use."
“I want to use good thread!”
Yi Qi tilted her head. "Fine yarn? How about cashmere? That kind of yarn is thin and dense, and it's very comfortable to wear."
"Okay, okay, then cashmere!" Pei Qi agreed happily.
"So what color cashmere do you want?"
Pei Qi tilted his head, thought for a moment, and replied, "Ice blue, the same color as Axuan's eyes."
Yi Qi's face suddenly became enlightened. "Oh, you're knitting this scarf for Lu Xuan?"
Pei Maomao: “!!!!!”
How come his gift was discovered before he even gave it away?
Pei Maomao pursed her lips tightly and firmly denied it: "No! I didn't knit a towel for him!"
As he spoke, Pei Qi made a zipper-sealing gesture towards her.
Yi Qi understood everything. Since she had the money, she didn't want to go against her boss.
"How about this? I'll buy the materials for you tomorrow, and then I'll come back to teach you how to knit a scarf in the evening. What do you think?"
“Okay!”
The two of them happily agreed.
Pei Maomao had just solved a problem, and when he returned to the dormitory, he saw Lu Xuan's curious gaze. He scratched his head embarrassedly, "Um..."
"Um?"
Pei Qi rubbed the tip of his nose and said, "I wanted to buy something, but I didn't have enough money, so I took all the money out of my piggy bank."
"knew."
Lu Xuan lowered his head and looked at the textbook, as if he didn't take the little episode that just happened seriously at all.
Seeing his indifferent look, Pei Maomao couldn't help but push closer to him and asked, "Then, then don't you want to know where I spent my money?"
"If you want to tell me, you will tell me yourself; if you don't want to tell me, then I don't need to know." Lu Xuan said concisely.
Pei Qi: "..."
Are you so confident, kid?
Pei Qi boldly approached, nudging Lu Xuan's cheek with his furry little head. "What if I spend all my money on delicious food? Will you be angry?"
Seeing Pei Qi eagerly waiting for an answer, Lu Xuan couldn't help but laugh, "Pei Qi."
"Hmm?" Pei Qi responded crisply.
Lu Xuan poked his forehead with his paw, "Do you know that you can't lie? Your thoughts are written on your face."
Hearing this, Pei Maomao quickly held her face, felt around, and asked doubtfully, "Is there?"
"Yes, idiot."
