chapter21

  The commotion in the morning finally came to an end under the teacher's intervention, and Yuan Zhi and He Shou Si were unexpectedly called into the office. Chen Jia Yin helped He Shuang wipe the desk while saying, "Huh, are those two okay?"

  "I don't know." She glanced outside, "As long as they don't invite parents, it's fine."

  "Me too." Chen Jiayin nodded, and then excitedly said: "Yuan Zhi is so handsome today, wow, men should be like this."

  "Is fighting cool?"

  "No, being able to protect a girl is what's cool." Chen Jiayin smiled so hard her eyes became slits.

  He Sheng didn't think much of it, she just hadn't expected Yuan Zhi to appear at this time. The person was still angry earlier, but now he's helping her, and she can't help but feel a little moved.

  Then He Sheng and the others were also called to ask about the situation. After asking all the questions they should have asked, the head teacher didn't say much else, gave them a slight warning and let them return to the classroom.

  He Sheng didn't know what was going on with Yuan Zhi and the others, so he was a bit distracted all morning. At lunchtime, he quickly pulled Chen Jiaoyan to the cafeteria. The two of them were still sitting in their usual spot. Before they could even call out to him, He Sheng rushed over and asked as soon as he sat down, "What did the teacher say about you guys this morning?"

  Yuan Zhi Bai didn't say a word, but simply pushed a dinner plate in front of her, the dishes inside were piled high, obviously having been picked over again.

  He Sheng picked up his spoon and took a sip, looking at him, "What did you say?"

  After waiting for a few seconds, looking at Yuan Zhi still ignoring himself, he turned to He Shou Si, "And you? What do you have to say?"

  "What else can I say? It's just a scolding, anyway. Being scolded many times doesn't matter anymore." He Guanshu said nonchalantly, and then casually ignored Chen Jiaoyan's unwillingness as he picked up a piece of pork ribs from her plate and started gnawing on it, deliberately making smacking sounds to annoy her.

  He Sheng gave him a strange look, but didn't ask anything more, as long as it wasn't serious.

  However, a few days later, He Sheng saw someone he shouldn't have seen at school - Yan Bai.

  Still dressed in a suit and leather shoes, the elite figure stood at the door of He Song's classroom and waved at her. At this time, it was just lunch break, and He Song put down his textbook and rushed out.

  "Big Brother Yan?"

  Yan Bai smiled and said, "It's been a while since we last met, you've become even more beautiful."

  He Sheng rubbed his nose awkwardly and said, "It's just a bit white."

  "That looks good too, was school okay?"

  "Not bad."

  "Really?"

  He Sheng hesitated and looked at him for a moment, nodding, "Mm, it's okay."

  Yan Bai was silent for a few seconds before saying: "But Yuan Zhi got into a fight because of you."

  He Song was stunned, and Yan Bai continued: "I was called over by his teacher. Apparently, he came to your classroom a few days ago to fight for you."

  He Sheng's expression turned calm and he nodded, "It is indeed the case."

  Yan Bai patted her shoulder and smiled: "I don't blame you, Yuan Zhi will speak up for you and accept you wholeheartedly, this is what I want to see. In the future, if anything happens, remember to tell me, I gave you my number so that you can call me, except for people from the Yuan family, Brother Yan will help you deal with anyone who bullies you."

  He patted He Song's head, "You have to treat me as one of your own."

  He Xiang endured the warmth on his head silently, and said in a low voice: "Actually, it's not that big of a deal. It's too hard to make everyone like you in an environment. I'm not outstanding myself, so being excluded is normal. Besides, not everyone dislikes me. I made a friend, she treats me well."

  Yan Bai looked at her, the girl in front of him had grown a lot compared to a year ago, the budding flower bone had already taken on a blooming posture. He should be happy for her, it was important to recognize this reality, but thinking about her age, only thirteen years old, being too precocious would also make people heartbroken.

  "Alright!" He withdrew his hand and put it in his pocket, "I'll leave first, study hard."

  He Sheng bowed his eyes and said, "Goodbye, Yan Ge."

  "Goodbye!"

  He Shuang didn't ask Yuan Zhi why he had previously said that it was just a scolding, but then asked his parents to come over. And why did the parent who came happen to be Yan Bo? She seemed to have some understanding of why Yuan Zhi's relationship with her father was so awkward.

  After this incident, He Sheng's life in school improved a lot. At least some cold words and phrases were no longer heard, especially after Lu Xiangxiang transferred schools. Although the specific details are not clear, everyone understands that this matter is related to her or the Yuan family. In He Sheng's view, it may be related to Yan Bo, but she is not sure. She even asked Yuan Zhi, and he was not very clear either. In the end, no one mentioned it again, and it just ended like that.

  Days passed unknowingly, and the weather started to get cold again. He Shuang and Wu Shu watched TV together one time, it was a lifestyle channel, teaching people how to knit warm clothing.

  He Sheng looked at the meeting and suddenly turned to Wu Shu and said: "Wu Shu, can you weave a scarf?"

  Aunt Wu nodded while cracking melon seeds, "I will!"

  "Where is the glove?"

  "Of course I will."

  "Teach me!" He Xiong smiled, "I want to weave gloves."

  Aunt Wu was somewhat surprised by her proposal, but still agreed with a smile: "Okay, I'll go buy some yarn for you tomorrow."

  "Where did you buy it? I'll go buy it myself."

  "The small shops inside are all selling yarn on the east side." Aunt Wu patted her hand and scooped up a handful of melon seeds again, "Can you find it yourself?"

  "I can go with my classmates."

  "Alright, you buy it back and I'll teach you, but Yuan Zhi that little brat doesn't like wearing this kind of thing anyway."

  He Sheng was taken aback for a moment, "I won't give it to him."

  "Huh?"

  "I knit for myself." After a pause, she added another sentence, "And also for my friends."

  Aunt Wu looked at her for a while before asking: "Is that friend of yours male or female?"

  "Girl, I'm your deskmate."

  "Oh." Wu Aunt nodded and continued watching TV, muttering to He Song about her past knitting history.

  By the weekend, He Song and Chen Jia Yin went to that small commercial street Wu Shu said, after turning a big circle inside, they finally found a row of shops selling yarn, the two stood in front of the stall looking at the balls of yarn with different colors and textures.

  Chen Jiayin picked one up and pinched it, "Can you handle it? Don't end up weaving something that can't be used."

  "No, I'll weave it well." She took out a pale pink one, "How about this? The outside has a fluffy thread and is softer."

  "I don't like this color." Chen Jiayin glanced at it and put down the one in her hand, picking up another sky blue one, "How about this one? I like this color."

  He Sheng nodded slightly, "Mm-hmm, clean."

  Then she chose a light blue one for herself. She also saw a small book on how to knit gloves with floral patterns, so she took one and checked out to go home.

  As soon as he arrived home, He Shuang was helped by Wu Shu to open his head, but the teacher's technique was not very skilled, much more awkward than what she said.

  Yuan Zhi came downstairs and also walked over, picked up the ball of yarn and tossed it upwards, looking at He Sheng, "You went out to buy this today?"

  "Mm." He Sheng responded without lifting his head.

  Yuan Zhi said: "This color is not very good." He turned the thread in his hand, and he still preferred gray or black. For a man to wear light blue was a bit silly.

  "Will it?" He Sheng adjusted the knitting needle's stitches, "I think it's pretty good, I like this color."

  Yuan Zhi pouted, threw the ball of yarn aside and sat down beside her, putting his legs up on the tea table as usual, saying: "Alright, this color is barely acceptable."

  He Yinyin looked at him with a puzzled expression and didn't say a word.

  She spent about a week knitting a pair of gloves, first making her own as an experiment, and after trying them on, they were not bad, so she started knitting one for Chen Jiayin.

  Yuan Zhi saw it again this time and raised an eyebrow: "Is the previous pair okay?"

  "Uh-huh." He Song nodded happily and hurriedly put it on his hand to show him, "How is it?"

  Yuan Zhi nodded awkwardly, "Not bad, pretty good."

  He Xiang couldn't help but laugh even more happily and continued weaving a new one with her head down.

  Yuan Zhi glanced at it a few times and said: "This color is nice, I like the dark blue, it's suitable for boys to wear."

  He Sheng's hand paused, and he looked up at him, "A boy?"

  "Right!" Yuan Zhi said matter-of-factly: "I'm quite good at hiding in blue clothes."

  He Xiang unconsciously swallowed his saliva, looked down at the yarn in his hand, then looked up at him. Obviously, Yuan Zhi had already misunderstood greatly. He hesitated for a moment before saying softly, "This isn't for you."

  Yuan Zhi was stunned, his face a mixture of shame and embarrassment, scowling at her, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

  What was said? It wasn't even said for him in the first place.

  He Sheng looked at him with a not-so-light expression, his hand touching the wool in his hands, stuttering and saying: "T-then... I'll also knit one for you in a few days."

  "I don't care!" Yuan Zhi irritably shifted his butt to the side, acting like a kindergarten kid who wants to draw a line after a fight.

  To avoid making him even angrier, He Sheng also yielded and moved to the other side, instantly increasing the distance between them to a point where two more people could sit down.

  After a while, Yuan Zhi glanced at He Song and said in a bad tone, "I want the gray one."

  He Sheng's hand paused for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Alright, I'll buy it for you this weekend."
