âHow awkward!â Butler Fu thought to himself.
Chu He asked him, âButler Fu, do you think the dark gray color suits Jinglian?â
âYes, it suits. As long as you think it suits.â
âIt canât be just because I think it suits him. What if he doesnât look good in it?â Chu He smiled. âI donât think he wears a scarf usually. I wonder if he will wear it after I complete it.â
Then, she muttered to herself, âAlternatively, I could give it to Baby Chu!â
She did notice that Gu Jinglian did not seem to be very interested in the scarf she was knitting, she was worried that he would not even look at it after all her painstaking efforts. He may even chuck it in the wardrobe and not wear it, and that would upset her!
Butler Fu was anxious when he heard this. âNo! Didnât you say you were going to knit this scarf for Old Master? If you give it to Baby Chu, Old Master will be angry!â
âAngry? Why?â Chu He was somewhat puzzled. âIsnât it true that he doesnât like wearing scarves!â
âThatâs different.â Butler Fu explained, âAs long as itâs knitted by you, Old Master will definitely wear it every day. Even if itâs torn, he wonât bear to throw it away!â He paused and smiled for a moment before continuing. âChu He, donât you know what Old Master is like? He has a sharp tongue and a soft heart. He may say that the scarf doesnât look good when in fact, heâs secretly happy! However, Old Master has always been awkward. He may say he doesnât like something, when he actually likes it very much! Itâs just that he doesnât say it aloud because of his ego!â
âReally?!â Chu He laughed when she heard this although she did not understand. âI donât know why he has to be so awkward. One either likes or dislikes. Canât he be more straightforward?â
/
âMen are different from women. Hehe, with Old Masterâs personality, he would rather suffer than lose face.â
âFine then!â
Chu He shook her head and looked at the scarf in her hand. She said, âI can finish knitting this scarf in a few days. When the weather gets cold, he can wear it!â
âUh huh.â
Butler Fu added, âHurry down and have dinner! I made chicken soup for you. Donât let it get cold.â
âUh huh.â
After dinner, Chu He knitted for a while. When her eyes were getting blurry, she put the scarf aside and checked her cell phone. There was a notification.
Unlocking the screen, she saw a message from the woman who had introduced her to the mother-to-be chat group earlier. The woman asked, âAre you coming to the mother-to-be interaction session next week?â
âAre you there? Why arenât you responding?!â
âAre you still angry about what happened this afternoon?â
...
Having read the messages, Chu He replied, âMother-to-be interaction session? Whatâs this about?â
âDidnât I tell you before!â That person immediately replied, âApart from taking care of their pregnancies, many mothers-to-be feel lonely. All of us happen to be from the same city, and we are all mothers-to-be. There are also some âveteransâ who have already given birth. Itâs a rare chance for everyone to gather, chat, and share their thoughts!â
Chu He was a little hesitant. âIâve been busy knitting scarves recently. I donât think I have time to go out.â
The point was, they were not on good terms, and it would be awkward if they met.
âKnitting scarves? For the baby?â
âNo, itâs for my husband. The weather is getting cold and I have free time. I learned how to knit a scarf and decided to knit one for him.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
