Chapter 181: 175. Knit a scarf for Huo Feng?

The afternoon tutoring session went pretty smoothly.

Lin Qianqian’s weekend homework, all seven sheets of it, was completed.

Huo Feng also worked on some problems from "Five Years of College Entrance Exams, Three Years of Simulations." Since some of the concepts were only taught in the second year of high school, it was understandable that he couldn’t solve some of them.

However, what Huo Feng hadn’t anticipated was that Pu Sangzhi could solve even those second-year problems.

She had mentioned before that she previewed the lessons every day...

Huo Feng wondered if she had already previewed the second-year material as well?

The weekend just seemed to drift away during the tutoring.

...

Another school week arrived.

This week, besides the usual student life, Huo Feng resumed his daily nagging for a gift.

During Sunday’s evening study, Pan Bo visited the first-year (1) classroom and told Pu Sangzhi, "Classmate Pu, Brother Feng asked me to remind you not to forget to prepare the gift."

During Monday’s evening study, Gu Yang stopped by the first-year (1) classroom and said to Pu Sangzhi, "Sister-in-law, Brother Feng asked me to remind you to prepare the gift early. He can hardly wait!"

During Tuesday’s evening study, Lin Yuhao also visited the first-year (1) classroom and said to Pu Sangzhi, "Sister-in-law, Brother Feng said he’s been waiting for several nights now. Is there any news you can share with him? If not, someone else will come to ask tomorrow."

Uh...

After being asked for three evenings in a row, Pu Sangzhi was totally flustered.

At this moment, Pu Sangzhi definitely regretted agreeing to send Huo Feng another gift!

Huo Feng was the type to act swiftly, hardly giving her time to think!

However, she was thankful that it wasn’t Huo Feng himself asking, but his underlings coming one by one.

If it were Huo Feng himself, his nagging could drive her to a breakdown.

Pu Sangzhi finally responded to Lin Yuhao, "Please tell him exactly this: ’Even if I did have an idea, I wouldn’t tell him. Let it be a surprise.’"

Of course, she hadn’t come up with anything yet!

After hearing her, Lin Yuhao gave Pu Sangzhi a look, kindly warning, "Sister-in-law, you really should come up with something soon. We have ten guys here; each can ask you once a day, and it would last two weeks. Plus, Brother Feng is getting obsessed. If you don’t give him an answer soon, it will be even harder when he comes himself!"

Pu Sangzhi was both amused and exasperated by Lin Yuhao’s reminder, nodding in agony and helplessness, "Yes, he’s that kind of person. Sigh..."

Lin Yuhao smiled and waved as he left, "Then I’m off, sister-in-law."

"Hey, wait..."

Unexpectedly, Pu Sangzhi called him back.

Lin Yuhao stopped, "Hmm?"

"Actually, I really don’t have any ideas..."

Pu Sangzhi spread her hands, displaying a troubled expression, "Do you have any good suggestions? Aren’t you in a relationship now?"

Lin Yuhao smiled sheepishly. After scratching his head and thinking for a while, he said, "I usually just invite Shen Nuan to eat out or watch a movie. She likes to go out, so whenever I’m free, I take her out. I just try to cater to her likes. Whatever she likes, that’s what I give her."

Lin Yuhao and Shen Nuan were in the throes of a fervent romance, all lovey-dovey...

Pu Sangzhi had heard some of the progress between Lin Yuhao and Shen Nuan from Huo Feng.

Huo Feng often said to her: "In North Gate Grove, where people are preparing to confess, Haozi is turning his aunt’s mouth sore from all the kissing, while Pu Sangzhi wouldn’t even kiss him. He feels like such a failure!"

And Huo Feng was indeed correct.

Because the weather had turned cooler and the air dryer these past few days, his aunt had indeed developed cold sores.

It was unclear if it was from the heat or some other reason, but in Huo Feng’s view, it was all because Lin Yuhao had kissed her too much.

Huo Feng was quite envious and resentful.

Um...

That was precisely why Pu Sangzhi couldn’t resist asking Lin Yuhao for some advice.

"By the way..."

Something seemed to strike Lin Yuhao, "The weather’s getting colder recently, and Shen Nuan gave me a pair of gloves. That should give you some idea, right?"

Pu Sangzhi asked, "Gloves?"

Lin Yuhao nodded, "Yeah. Winter is almost here; it’s time to stock up on scarves, gloves, hats. If all else fails, a lip balm would also do. But knowing Brother Feng’s personality, he might take it the wrong way if you gave him a lip balm."

Pu Sangzhi was puzzled, "Take it the wrong way?"

Lin Yuhao tapped his lips with a finger, "Lip balm, right? Applied on the lips, isn’t it used to moisturize the other person?"

It took Pu Sangzhi a few seconds to react, and when she did, she suddenly felt goosebumps all over her body and a wave of nausea!

Her reaction made Lin Yuhao laugh, and he said, "Actually, whatever you give Feng, he likes. He loves to show off in front of us the most. Just give him a little something to brag about, even something as small as a pair of socks. As long as it’s from you, or you made it yourself, he could raise it to the sky."

The more Lin Yuhao spoke, the more serious he became, and it sounded more and more sincere.

Pu Sangzhi was rendered speechless by his words and sank into deep thought.

"Oh, and let me tell you another secret: Shen Nuan bought some wool and is planning to knit me a scarf soon, so I can wear it once winter starts. You could go and learn from her; she’s really enthusiastic."

After Lin Yuhao finished, he waved at her, "I’ll be going now. I won’t tell Feng about our conversation today. This way, he can boast about it later~"

Pu Sangzhi waved back somewhat blankly, "Uh... goodbye."

After chatting with Lin Yuhao, Pu Sangzhi spent the rest of the evening self-study session seriously considering the suggestions he had given her.

Indeed...

She also felt that Huo Feng would probably like whatever she gave him.

But because of this, she didn’t want to just casually give Huo Feng something; she wanted to seriously give him a gift.

On a draft book, Pu Sangzhi wrote down four things: gloves, scarves, hats, socks.

Then, she placed a pen in the middle of these four items, closed her eyes, and let go...

Deciding to leave it to fate, to decide on Huo Feng’s gift.

Eventually, when her pen fell, it leaned towards ’scarf’...

Pu Sangzhi circled the word ’scarf’, by this point, she had made up her mind and decided to ask Shen Nuan for more information.

Pu Sangzhi had some free time, both at school and at home...

Maybe she could knit Huo Feng a scarf before winter started?

This gift, Huo Feng probably wouldn’t have any complaints, would he?

Thinking this, Pu Sangzhi made up her mind.

...

So, before the Wednesday night self-study session began, Pu Sangzhi made a trip to Class 9, Senior Year 2, and called out Shen Nuan from the class.

Senior Year 2 Class 9, had quite a history with Pu Sangzhi.

The grudges from the last sports meeting made all the students of Class 9 dislike Pu Sangzhi, except for Shen Nuan and Dai Shanshan, who later regretted her actions.

When Pu Sangzhi suddenly appeared at the doorstep of Class 9’s classroom, it shifted the attention of the students in the class towards her.

Dozens of unfriendly eyes fixated on Pu Sangzhi, and the classroom was filled with whispers and gossip.

Dai Shanshan sat in the class, hearing many of her classmates badmouthing Pu Sangzhi, though Dai Shanshan did not participate.

The carefree Shen Nuan, upon hearing her name called by Pu Sangzhi, immediately rushed out excitedly to find her.

Especially after hearing Pu Sangzhi’s intention, Shen Nuan exclaimed with excitement, jumping up and down, "Wow! Oh my God! You’re actually going to knit a scarf for your nephew!"

Shen Nuan’s excited demeanor made Pu Sangzhi think of Huo Feng.

Such similar personalities these two have...

Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but blame herself for not noticing earlier that these two had such a strong family resemblance.

Pu Sangzhi grabbed Shen Nuan’s hand, trying to calm her down, then said, "I just came to ask if you have anything to teach me? Also, how much will it cost?"

Shen Nuan waved her hand, casually saying, "It won’t cost much! I bought a lot of wool, I’ll give you a bundle, enough to knit a whole scarf!"

Pu Sangzhi hurriedly said, "That wouldn’t be right; how about you sell me a bundle instead?"

Shen Nuan nodded vigorously, "Sure! I even got a discount coupon on Taobao, it was a buy-three-get-one-free deal! Let me sell it to you cheaply! So, which color do you want? I have black, white, gray, blue! I’m planning to knit a blue one for my boyfriend, so you can pick from the others!"

Pu Sangzhi smiled, "Thank you. Then, black, please. I see him wearing black often."

Shen Nuan grinned, linking arms with Pu Sangzhi, looking up, and saying, "Great! Then we’ll knit together, learn together~ Let’s meet up every day from now on and knit scarves!"

Pu Sangzhi: "Wait... you don’t know how?"

Shen Nuan: "Right! I don’t know at all! But we can learn!"

Pu Sangzhi: "..."

Awkward.

She thought Shen Nuan knew how to knit, which is why she came to learn from her...
