Chapter 227 - 223: The Couple Owes 16 Updates
Li Xianglu finally finished knitting the scarf in mid-October, though she missed quite a few stitches, Qin Xi still wore it. It was a scarf hand-knitted by his wife, and in fact, he had given up hope—anxiously expecting it for over a month. Everyone else had their scarves while his was nowhere to be seen, but now that it had finally arrived, despite the missed stitches, it was the thought that counted.
Li Xianglu was very pleased with Qin Xi’s understanding of the situation. It was Friday afternoon, and they hadn’t gone back last week due to a major lecture, but this week they were free, and they truly missed home.
On their bike ride, they still stopped to buy some groceries. Supplies were gradually becoming more abundant, and the Overseas Chinese Store had a wider variety of fruits now, with bananas even becoming a common sight. Sugar cane was available too, a food that doesn’t go bad quickly, so Li Xianglu had sent two pieces to Qin Zhen in Shanghai, cut into sections by Qin Xi.
Qin Zhen was so delighted when she received them that she called to say they were especially sweet.
On the way back, Li Xianglu put on her mask and hugged Qin Xi’s waist. Suddenly, she recalled the conversation in the dorm and was shocked. How could she have not told Qin Xi?
So, she recounted the odd things she had discovered.
After listening, Qin Xi abruptly braked and stopped by the roadside, dismounted from the bike, and asked Li Xianglu to hold the seat while he pushed the bike along, raining questions on her.
As Li Xianglu repeated the details about a couple’s mysterious whereabouts, Qin Xi remained silent. Li Xianglu, puzzled, asked, "What’s wrong? Why do you look so upset?"
After some thought, Qin Xi said, "Xiangxiang, take some materials back with you on Sunday, and place them in Tian Tian’s or Lin Dongxue’s bed when no one is around."
Li Xianglu was stunned. "Huh? What kind of materials?"
Qin Xi pondered for a moment before replying, "Some materials about Qin Miao."
Li Xianglu was confused—what kind of materials about Qin Miao, the one whom the Qin Family’s grandfather had disowned back in April?
