Around seven o'clock, in the classroom where the class meeting was held, Ning Yuhuan was knitting a sweater in the back row.
This sweater was just about done, and Ning Yuhuan planned to finish it tonight.
Today, Ning Yuhuan also went out for research with Professor Huang and others, and after returning in the afternoon, she took the yarn, needles, and the unfinished sweater from the dormitory.
This is a long-sleeved turtleneck sweater, orange in color, and quite thick. When the weather's a bit warmer, wearing this sweater with an underlayer would be enough.
Ning Yuhuan started knitting this sweater last Sunday evening. Since then, she's been knitting in the dorm room both at noon and in the evenings. Because the sweater is so finely knitted and she worried a plain color would be too monotonous, she added beautiful patterns to the front chest with sewing thread, making the process a bit more complicated, which is why it took this long.
When the boys in the class came over, they saw Ning Yuhuan, with her pretty high ponytail, knitting a sweater.
She was very skilled, knitting swiftly, like a craftsman.
No, she is a craftsman.
Many boys looked on in envy.
In the past week, the girls in the class had already known that Ning Yuhuan was knitting a sweater in the dorm for her boyfriend.
Eventually, word got around, and the boys found out too, though they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, nor expected her to knit a sweater.
Now they finally saw for themselves.
Ning Yuhuan was indeed knitting a sweater.
Actually, whether a girlfriend is pretty or not, sometimes it doesn't matter much to most boys, as they are often quite self-aware.
However, the fact that Ning Yuhuan could knit a sweater, and was knitting one for her boyfriend, left the boys defenseless, unable to resist envying Xu Lin.
As the ancients said, "Marry a virtuous wife, not a beautiful one."
A virtuous wife and good mother is one of the ultimate pursuits of countless ancient men.
People seemed to see the true virtuous wife and good mother in Ning Yuhuan.
However, it seems that good women rarely meet good men, and good men rarely meet good women.
Many boys in the class felt that Xu Lin wasn't a good man, because he just didn't seem like one.
Tonight, Xu Lin came by.
He entered through the front door of the classroom.
"Hello! Junior, good evening!"
"Junior, here to accompany your girlfriend?"
The girls in the front row greeted Xu Lin teasingly.
Xu Lin smiled and said, "Accompanying my girlfriend is just an add-on. My real purpose here is to see you beautiful and generous seniors!"
"Haha, really?"
"If it weren't for seeing you seniors, what would be the point of being here?"
"Haha, Junior, you're a bit naughty!"
Xu Lin chatted with them for a bit, and though they didn't exchange many words, the few seniors laughed happily.
Generally, girls who dare to greet Xu Lin are either very pretty or very bold.
The way girls face handsome boys is similar to how boys face pretty girls; boys who dare to greet dazzling girls are either handsome or very confident.
Now, the girls chatting with Xu Lin were among the prettiest in Ning Yuhuan's class, along with one bold girl.
The boys looked on in jealousy, thinking this bastard already has a girlfriend but still flirts with girls in their class.
It's really annoying!
After chatting with a few girls for a couple of minutes, Xu Lin walked towards the back row where Ning Yuhuan was.
He sat down next to her and casually put his arm around her shoulder.
"What are you knitting?"
"A sweater, for you!"
"For me?"
"I told you on Sunday, I'm knitting you a sweater!"
Ning Yuhuan blinked her beautiful eyes, glanced at him, and continued knitting.
"Ah!"
Xu Lin slapped his forehead, "I almost forgot you were going to knit me a sweater! Come on, Senior, give me a kiss."
With that, Xu Lin kissed Ning Yuhuan on the cheek.
In front of everyone, as if no one else was there.
That's just Xu Lin.
Ning Yuhuan blushed slightly.
"I'm almost done!"
"I'll look forward to it then."
Soon, the class meeting started with the usual boring content.
Ning Yuhuan continued knitting, but as the meeting commenced, ten minutes later, she finally finished the last step.
"Is it done?"
Xu Lin asked.
"It's done!"
Ning Yuhuan nodded and said, "Tonight you take it home and try it on to see if it fits."
"Why take it home? Just try it on here."
Xu Lin simply took off his jacket.
He was strong and fit now, and even in single-digit temperature weather, though it was evening, he only wore a moderately thick jacket over a T-shirt underneath.
"It's cold."
Ning Yuhuan said.
"I won't be cold in a moment."
Xu Lin put on the sweater that Ning Yuhuan knitted.
"Alright, today's class meeting ends here!"
At that moment, the class president on the podium announced, and as soon as he finished speaking, everyone dispersed.
Xu Lin began to straighten out the creases in his clothes, and with everyone leaving, he could raise his voice.
"Does it look good?"
The senior asked him, and Ning Yuhuan thought the sweater fit Xu Lin well enough, perfectly, not too loose or tight, not too long or short—just right. She knew Xu Lin's size well, so there were no mistakes in the sizing of the sweater. Seeing how it looked on him, Ning Yuhuan felt very satisfied.
"I think it feels very comfortable to wear, and, should I say, it looks quite handsome?"
Xu Lin looked down at the orange sweater on him.
He couldn't help but admire that his senior's skills were really top-notch, on par with Ms. Ren's level when he was a child.
Moreover, the craftsmanship wasn't inferior to the sweaters in clothing stores.
Can handmade items be better than machines?
Of course, they can. Some skilled individuals can create items by hand that even the best machines can't match.
A crucial aspect of machines not replacing humans is that humans possess complete subjective initiative, which is creativity.
"Handsome?"
Ning Yuhuan blinked, her beautiful lashes flickering, feeling happy, and she gently adjusted Xu Lin's collar.
This was a turtleneck sweater.
It looked great on Xu Lin.
"Ning Yuhuan, the sweater is so beautiful, isn't it?"
"So envious, Hanhan can knit sweaters!"
"All the good girlfriends belong to someone else, sigh!"
Class ended, and everyone's eyes were on Xu Lin's orange sweater.
Those who didn't know might have thought it was bought from a clothing store.
But everyone had seen Ning Yuhuan knit it, and when Xu Lin put it on, they couldn't help but exclaim.
Ning Yuhuan's craftsmanship was amazing.
Boys and girls alike marveled; there were surprised looks, as well as envious ones.
And some also felt regretful and helpless.
When they first entered college as freshmen, many boys had a crush on Ning Yuhuan.
But who would've thought she'd eventually be taken by a newcomer freshman?
Xu Lin exchanged a few words with others, then pulled Ning Yuhuan away.
"Let's go, Senior."
"Hubby, put on your jacket."
"Okay."
Though Xu Lin didn't need to wear it, to avoid a word from Ning Yuhuan, he put it on anyway.
"Hubby, are you done with everything?"
"Pretty much. Let's go out and have fun after class tomorrow."
As Xu Lin put his arm around Ning Yuhuan's shoulder, he kissed her on her lips while walking.
"Okay, okay."
"Hubby..."
"What's up?"
"I've missed you so much this week."
Her eyes glistened with affection, like they were filled with autumn water, shining brilliantly.
But there was a hint of grievance, too.
Because Xu Lin had been busy all week.
