Chapter 775: 758, She knitted a sweater for him by hand! (2)
So, the Wilderness Association’s Ling Mountain Camping for this weekend was set.
The Wilderness Association was a club that both Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng’s dormitories participated in together.
Therefore, when the Wilderness Association organized the first outdoor activity, everyone tried their best to clear all their plans, making sure to reserve time for the Ling Mountain event this weekend.
Tents, climbing gear, and other hardware were provided by the association, so all everyone needed to bring was their own food and water.
There were still a few days until the weekend...
During those days, Huo Feng would spend some time before bed every night fantasizing about watching the sunrise with Pu Sangzhi.
He had imagined several sets of sweet nothings they could say to each other...
He was looking forward to it immensely!
But as for physical contact, Huo Feng could only fantasize as far as kissing.
Although he really wanted to throw himself at her, to do her! To do her until she got pregnant!
But...
He was just a coward with desires but no guts!
Such thoughts were only wishful thinking.
Sometimes Huo Feng wondered, what if he didn’t cross that ultimate line, but went a bit further than kissing?
For instance...
He had long wanted to touch her bouncy and full chest.
For instance...
He had always really wanted to pinch her perky butt.
And for instance...
He often thought about how great it would be if she would lend him a hand and take care of him...
That would be divine, right?!
It would certainly be much more satisfying than taking care of it himself...
But!
Huo Feng remained a coward with desires but no guts!
Such thoughts were still just wishful thinking.
...
In the days leading up to the weekend, Pu Sangzhi was every night holed up in her dorm, rushing her work, busy with the birthday gift she was preparing for Huo Feng.
It was still a handmade gift.
And it was a handmade gift into which she had put quite a bit of thought and effort.
She knitted a sweater for Huo Feng.
She had started secretly knitting since early October, and now it was November, a whole month’s time, she knitted a bit whenever she had some free time.
Finally, the moment to finish the sweater was nearing.
Pu Sangzhi’s ability to knit a sweater made the girls in her dorm quite admire her.
The girls all kept it a secret, not leaking even a hint of information to Huo Feng.
By Thursday night, the dark blue sweater Pu Sangzhi was knitting for Huo Feng got its final stitch.
She lifted the sweater, going over to the full-length mirror, and held it up against herself to compare.
The sweater was a loose style, she estimated that it would look great on Huo Feng. The color was also nice, Pu Sangzhi believed he would like it...
"Wow..."
Minal, carrying a basin, passed by Pu Sangzhi, couldn’t help but stop, and joined in examining the sweater in the mirror, "It’s so pretty! How are you so skilled~"
"It’s simple,"
Pu Sangzhi chuckled, "It’s not difficult, as long as you put your heart into it, anyone can do it."
"Wow, these stitches are really nice..."
Minal quickly placed the basin aside on the cabinet, turned back, and picked up the sweater to look at it closely, to touch, "Wow, it feels so good too!"
"It’s because of the high-quality yarn,"
Pu Sangzhi explained: "It doesn’t itch, and it will definitely be comfortable to wear."
"Yeah, it’s so smooth..."
Minal was especially envious, "Teach me, Sangzhi! I want to learn, I want to knit one for Brother Ye Xi too!"
Pu Sangzhi felt embarrassed, "Uh... okay."
But Pu Sangzhi couldn’t really say anything.
"You haven’t given up on Brother Ye Xi yet!"
Conveniently, Wei Zixuan heard Minal say this just as she was carrying a basin into the dorm.
Wei Zixuan patted Minal’s shoulder, while moving to place the basin on a rack, "Last time you went to see him, didn’t he hardly speak two words to you?"
Indeed...
This week, Minal had gone to see Ye Xi.
She initially wanted to bring Pu Sangzhi along, but Pu Sangzhi was practically glued to Huo Feng as soon as class ended.
So, unable to bring Pu Sangzhi and missing Ye Xi intensely, Minal mustered up the courage to go see Ye Xi alone!
As a result...
She was politely dismissed with a couple of sentences by Ye Xi.
The situation that day probably went like this—
Minal knocked on Ye Xi’s dormitory door, asked how he was doing, and also inquired if she could go in to see the kittens?
Ye Xi replied to her, "I’m just about to head out, why don’t you wait for Sangzhi to come over and keep you company later, okay?"
Minal: "Ah, you’re going out... Then, I think I..."
Ye Xi: "Sorry, it’s not convenient to come in."
Minal: "Oh."
Then, Ye Xi really locked the door and left.
Latter on, Minal chattered alongside him all the way, to which Ye Xi either politely responded or didn’t pay her any attention.
His indifferent expression seemed as if he had long seen through Minal’s amorous intentions!
After that, he gave an indifferent reaction of rejection!
In short...
Upon returning from her failed attempt that day, Minal shared the incident with everyone in the dorm.
After hearing about it, everyone in the dorm advised her to let it go, and Pu Sangzhi explicitly stated that Brother Ye Xi’s refusal was quite clear.
But...
Minal didn’t know where her stubbornness came from, but at that moment, she just wouldn’t let go.
Up to now, she was still thinking of making a move...
"I can’t give up so easily! I haven’t even started confessing yet! It would be too regretful to give up just like that!"
Minal said while waving her hand, "You guys don’t have to worry about how many times I get rejected. As my good roommates, all you need to do is help me come up with more strategies~"
"Sangzhi ah~"
Then, Minal pounced on Pu Sangzhi, wrapped her arms around her, and nuzzled Pu Sangzhi’s head saying, "Teach me all the good methods to charm your brother. One who is nearest to the river enjoys its waters first! You have to be my wingman~"
Pu Sangzhi laughed awkwardly, "I also don’t know what type of girl Brother Ye Xi likes, I really can’t help with that."
Minal looked up at Pu Sangzhi intently, "Then teach me to knit a sweater first! I want to knit one for him with my own hands!"
Pu Sangzhi could only say, "I can teach you, but I can’t guarantee anything else."
"Wow..."
At that moment, Wei Zixuan also noticed the sweater in Pu Sangzhi’s hand, grabbed one sleeve, and felt it, "Wow, it’s really well-knit. It feels so comfortable too."
"The material is quite expensive," Pu Sangzhi said with a smile.
"My goodness, you’re so virtuous..."
Wei Zixuan also sighed, "It’s just in time for fall, it gets very cold during autumn and winter in Beijing! This gift is really appropriate!"
Pu Sangzhi nodded, "I decided to knit a sweater considering the season. In the past winters, I knitted a scarf for Huo Feng, and he always wore it, he wouldn’t change it even when it had soy sauce on it. Later, one winter, I bought him a couple’s jacket, he only wore it a few times. So, I’m telling you, guys actually really appreciate gifts that girls prepare with heart."
As the three girls chatted non-stop, every word they said was overheard by Mu Mu, who was on the other bed wearing a face mask.
Especially when Pu Sangzhi spoke the last part, Mu Mu couldn’t help but lift her head and peek out from the bed, looking seriously at Pu Sangzhi.
Pu Sangzhi also noticed her from the corner of her eye and looked back at her, "Got it? Do you want to knit a sweater for your Yong Mu?"
"No... what are you talking about..."
Mu Mu, who had just poked out her head, quickly retracted it as Pu Sangzhi teased her, hurriedly pressing down the face mask on her face.
Thinking to herself: Thank goodness I’m wearing a mask, otherwise it’d be so embarrassing!
Lately, the girls in the dorm were increasingly teasing Mu Mu about her pure friendship with Yong Mu.
The more they teased her and forced the association, the more Mu Mu felt she couldn’t face Yong Mu normally.
Well...
She used to be able to treat him as a childhood friend and communicate normally.
Now that they’ve teased her too much,
When Mu Mu saw Yong Mu, she also had a strange feeling, making chatting not quite comfortable anymore.
"Oh my, Miss Mu, look at how shy you are! You should just get together with your little childhood friend!" Minal often teased her very directly.
So direct, it felt almost like urging.
At times like this, Wei Zixuan would also chime in, "Yeah, isn’t it tiring to keep up this act? This relationship can change now!"
Mu Mu answered, nervous and flustered, "Stop it, you guys... I don’t have that kind of relationship with him, he hasn’t thought about progressing. My goodness, if you keep talking nonsense, my heart will become a mess."
"Then let yourself become a mess and make the first move!"
Minal said with a giggle, "A girl chasing a guy doesn’t lose face!"
Mu Mu refused, "I don’t want to... hey, let’s stop talking about this. You guys chat, leave me out of it!"
Then, the three girls looked at each other and smiled, enjoying a very pleasant atmosphere.
That day was Thursday.
...
On Friday afternoon, Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng went to report to their respective second clubs for the first time.
Pu Sangzhi, Mu Mu, and Yong Mu went to report to the Small Animal Association.
Huo Feng, on the other hand, reported to the Musical Club.
