Chapter 74 Mother! Mother!



Why does Lin Xiao know how to knit scarves?

Actually, his mother would knit a beautiful sweater for Feng Qi every year by hand.

They always use the brightest colors, the softest yarn, and the most fashionable patterns.

Despite being his mother's biological son, he had never worn the sweater his mother had knitted.

There was only one particularly cold winter when he was about ten years old. He didn't have a sweater to wear, so his mother gave him an old sweater that Feng Qi had discarded.

He still remembers the feeling of that sweater tightening around him like a fishing net, making it hard for him to breathe.

But he still cherishes it.

Because it was the only sweater her mother had ever knitted by hand.

It's too small.

Later, whenever he saw his mother knitting late at night, he would make an excuse to get up to go to the toilet, then go over to watch and ask his mother to teach him how to knit.

It was only at this time that his mother was most patient with him.

He noted down many patterns, such as stripes, herringbone patterns, diamond patterns, and openwork. The naive junior girl was obviously a beginner, as she was knitting the simplest double rib pattern.

Knitting with alternating two plain stitches and two purl stitches creates a thicker texture than single ribbing.

Lin Xiao knew his roommates must be very surprised that a man who was over 1.8 meters tall could actually knit sweaters!

He could feel their burning gazes, so intense they seemed to be glued to him.

He chuckled and said, "Actually, it's not difficult. It's mainly because Junior Sister Bai teaches well."

Bai Youyou was taken aback.

She didn't teach it?

Bird Bro goes first.

Bird Brother is competitive and meticulous, so he quickly learned it.

He adjusted his glasses, his big eyes sparkling, and laughed, "I never thought I'd be able to knit scarves too."

Aquaman was not to be outdone.

"Let me try it too."

Wei Ye: "Me too."

Wow.

Time flew by in a flash.

It's lunchtime again.

Bai Youyou was a little frustrated because watching others knit made her hands itch to knit as well, and she wanted to knit herself even more.

After all, this was a birthday gift she was going to give to her senior, Lin Xiao.

But Senior Neptune got hooked on knitting and had been knitting for several minutes already.

The Sea King thought to himself, if he were to knit a scarf by hand and give it to the girl he liked, she would surely be moved to tears.

As I thought about it, it turned into a pouty mouth.

Lin Xiao glanced at the sullen, finger-picking junior girl and chuckled, "Alright. Time to eat. Why do you think Junior Bai is knitting a scarf? She just likes trying new things."

"She's having a great time, hurry up and give it back to her."

The Sea King was very obedient to his godfather, and upon hearing this, he quickly returned the knitting needles to Bai Youyou.

Bai Youyou quickly wove two more rows.

The group went to the cafeteria for lunch.

Lin Xiao: "Let's take the stairs. That way we won't run into any classmates and have trouble explaining ourselves."

No one else had any objections.

Five people went down the stairs.

Wei Ye: "Ah Xiao, what will you do if the class sees you?"

Bai Youyou glanced at Lin Xiao nervously.

She didn't want to drag her senior down.

Actually, she could rent a house off-campus, so the senior wouldn't have to sneak around and be on edge.

Lin Xiao, unaware of what the naive junior was thinking, chuckled and said, "So what if she saw it? I didn't do anything illegal or disorderly."

Upon hearing this, Wei Ye chuckled and said, "Oh. That sounds nice, but you're still making us accompany you up the stairs."

Bird Bro chuckled and interjected, "Ah Xiao's toughest thing is his mouth."

Lin Xiao laughed, "I can't compare to you guys. I'm ashamed."

The other three: "Tch—"

Bai Youyou chuckled.

After dinner, Lin Xiao escorted Bai Youyou back to her dormitory.

After my afternoon nap, I worked on my graduation project for two hours.

I took a taxi at 4 p.m. to the Rose Garden.

Every time Lin Xiao thought of Ji Ran, a shadow would always pass through his heart.

This woman appears noble and arrogant, but in reality she is sickly, fragile, and neurotic.

She is complicated.

Healing is needed.

To be honest, if it weren't for making money, Lin Xiao wouldn't want to associate with a woman like Ji Ran.

It consumes too much emotional energy.

When Lin Xiao arrived at the underground parking garage, he saw a woman in her fifties, dressed elegantly, with a stern face, standing there, looking at him with suspicion.

Lin Xiao's brow twitched, wondering why this person was looking at him like that.

Then he immediately thought that the woman looked somewhat like Ji Ran. Could they be mother and daughter?

The way she's looking at him, could it be that she's here to catch him cheating?

Well.

What kind of ridiculous and melodramatic plot is this?

It's his fault for not checking the almanac before going out.

Even if he consulted the almanac, given his money-grubbing nature, he wouldn't stay home.

So he straightened his back, raised his head, and strode over.

Knowing the older woman was watching him, Lin Xiao walked past her without looking at her and entered the elevator.

The middle-aged woman followed her in, her high heels clicking as she walked in.

The elevator doors opened, and the two entered.

Lin Xiao deliberately probed, "Which floor are you going to?"

The older woman gave Lin Xiao a wary look. "Do what you want."

Lin Xiao pressed the button for the 22nd floor without caring.

Ji Ran is on the 23rd floor.

Sure enough, the woman breathed a sigh of relief and pressed the button for the 23rd floor.

Lin Xiao took out his phone and sent a message to Ji Ran.

[Professor Ji, I think I ran into your mother in the underground parking garage. She's in the same elevator as me now, and she'll be here soon.]

A ding sound.

The elevator doors opened.

Lin Xiao stepped out.

Ji Jinhe finally felt completely relieved.
