A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

"Oh right, I almost forgot."

Zhou Huifang suddenly took out a scarf.

It's not the kind you buy; it's hand-knitted with dark red yarn. The stitches aren't perfectly neat, and the tightness varies in a few places, but the scarf is very long and thick.

Zhou Huifang shook the scarf twice, then smiled and said, "I knitted this a while ago. It was originally for Xiaoyang, but the boy is too tough for him."

As she spoke, she glanced at Lu Yang.

Lu Yang: "..."

What does it mean to have thick skin and tough flesh?

Zhou Huifang turned her gaze back to Li Xixue, softening her tone.

"Take this, wear it to keep warm when it gets cold."

Li Xixue looked at the scarf but didn't reach out immediately.

She froze for a moment.

"Take it."

Zhou Huifang smiled and stuffed the scarf into her hand.

"Don't be disgusted. Auntie doesn't have anything good to offer. This is just my skill. It can't compare to what you buy outside, but I've been knitting it for quite a while."

Li Xixue shook her head.

She picked up the scarf, wrapped it around her neck, and put it around once.

The wool of the scarf lay flat against her neck.

very warm.

Li Xixue ran her fingers along the edge of the scarf a couple of times, her face turning slightly red.

It wasn't cold, nor was it caused by the wind.

"nice."

Zhou Huifang chuckled.

Lu Yang, watching from the side, nodded in agreement.

It's really good.

Li Xixue brushed a strand of hair from her forehead, lowered her head, held a scarf in one hand, rubbing it back and forth with her fingertips, buried her chin in the scarf, only half of her face was visible.

"Thank you..."

Li Xixue stopped halfway through her sentence.

She pursed her lips.

They changed their tune again.

"Thank you... Mom."

The sound was very soft, so soft that it was almost inaudible.

But Zhou Huifang heard it.

Her eyes welled up instantly, and she gently patted Li Xixue's shoulder before withdrawing her hand.

"Alright, alright, let's go back now, it's getting dark."

Li Xixue hummed in agreement.

Then she and Lu Yang went out the door and walked out along the alley.

The couple saw them off all the way to the alley entrance and watched them walk away.

The person is gone.

Zhou Huifang remained standing there, stunned.

Lu Jianguo walked back and glanced at her.

The kitchen had been cleaned up, and Zhang Xiulan and her aunt's family had all left one after another.

Only the two of them remained in the courtyard.

Lu Jianguo moved a chair and sat under the jujube tree, pouring himself a cup of tea.

Zhou Huifang stood to the side, still watching the intersection disappear into the distance.

Lu Jianguo took a sip of tea and glanced at her.

He understands his wife.

This person is always talking; they always have something to say.

But the current situation is not normal.

"What's wrong?"

Zhou Huifang did not speak immediately.

She rubbed her fingers back and forth on her knees several times.

Lu Jianguo glanced at her, then glanced at her again, and put down his teacup.

"What happened?"

Finally, Zhou Huifang turned her head, looked at her old husband, and said very seriously.

"Old Lu, I need to tell you something."

"explain."

"You have to agree to one condition first."

Lu Jianguo picked up his teacup and took another sip: "What are the conditions?"

"Please don't get agitated."

Lu Jianguo put the cup on the stone table and snorted.

"Hey, I've seen it all, what's there to get excited about?"

Zhou Huifang stared at him.

Wait, why does this sound so familiar?

……

Meanwhile, on Lu Yang's side...

The scenery outside the car window is receding into the distance.

There are fewer low-rise houses and more high-rise buildings; the utility poles along the roadside have been replaced by streetlights.

Li Xixue's face was slightly flushed. She sat in the back row by the window, her chin buried in the scarf, one hand on her knee, and the fingertips of her other hand constantly caressing the yarn of the scarf.

Touching it back and forth.

To be honest, she has quite a few scarves in her closet.

Hermes, Chanel, bespoke limited editions.

The cheapest one costs five figures.

But none of them were hand-woven by anyone else.

No one has ever knitted a scarf for her since she was a child.

Her mother wouldn't, and her father even less so.

This is the first time.

So this feeling is very strange.

Lu Yang sat beside her, his eyes fixed ahead, glancing at her several times out of the corner of his eye.

She hasn't said a word since she got on the bus.

"Do you really like that scarf?"

Li Xixue stopped.

She didn't speak, but kept her hands buried in her scarf and nodded gently.

"When you get back, send your mom a message."

"what?"

"Thank you to her."

Didn't you already say that to my face?

Lu Yang looked at her eyes peeking out from under the scarf, thought for a moment, and didn't object.

"OK."

Li Xixue hummed in agreement, tilted her head slightly, and rested it on Lu Yang's shoulder.

The car continued driving forward.

By the time I got downstairs in the apartment complex, it was already dark.

The two people got out of the elevator and walked to their front door.

Lu Yang opened the door, and Li Xixue went in first.

She took off her shoes and walked barefoot into the living room. Instead of changing clothes in the bedroom first, she took off her scarf and folded it neatly.

It was folded twice.

The first time I felt it wasn't neat enough, I took it apart and folded it again.

Then place it there neatly and properly.

Lu Yang watched this scene unfold.

You see, this woman casually tosses her scarves, worth tens of thousands of yuan, into her walk-in closet, but she treats this scarf like an offering.

He shook his head and walked into the living room.

Li Xixue then went to the bedroom to change her clothes.

Lu Yang sat down on the sofa and took out his phone.

I'm exhausted after a long day.

At that moment, several unread messages popped up on his phone screen.

The first one was posted by Xia Ning.

[Boss! I've checked all the materials for tomorrow, and there are no problems!]

Three saluting rabbits followed behind.

The second one is Zhou Qiming's.

[Mr. Lu, all the packaging materials have been loaded onto the truck and will be delivered tomorrow morning.]

The third one—

Li Xiaochen.

Lu Yang was stunned for a moment.

He opened the message.

Brother-in-law, are you there?

Lu Yang looked at the message and then scrolled up through the chat history.

The earliest one was posted at 2 PM.

Brother-in-law, I'm going to talk to my dad!

three o'clock.

My dad was practicing calligraphy in his study, and I stood at the door for half an hour, but I still hadn't figured out how to start the conversation.

Four o'clock.

[I went inside and told my dad that we could postpone the meeting.]

4:05.

My dad put down the calligraphy brush.

4:06.

He asked me who sent me.

4:07.

I told you I came on my own and it has absolutely nothing to do with my brother-in-law!

4:08.

My dad said one word: "Get out."

4:09.

I didn't leave, nor could I, so I stayed to argue my case.

4:15.

My dad locked the door.

Five o'clock.

Brother-in-law, my dad made me copy "Keep Your Mouth Closed" a thousand times before I could leave.

5:30.

[It took me an hour to copy it a hundred times.]

six o'clock.

My hand is ruined.

6:30.

Brother-in-law, help me!
