At seven o’clock sharp, Xu Lin started the class meeting.

Entering sophomore year, the class meeting time for their class had been adjusted from the original seven-thirty to seven o’clock sharp.

"Where did you buy this sweater? It’s quite pretty."

Xu Lin had just sat down when Rong Xiyi reached out to grab his sweater.

Ning Yuhuan’s knitting is impressive. It’s not like the sweaters knitted by older women, which are so marked by their era that they’re practically unwearable from today’s perspective.

Yet Ning Yuhuan’s sweaters also carry an era-specific charm, just that it’s of this era’s charm.

To sum it up, it’s quite good-looking.

She’s skillful, and the sweaters she knits rival those beautiful ones from clothing stores.

Since Xu Lin was only wearing a sweater, and essentially treated this sweater as an outer jacket, Rong Xiyi noticed it right away.

"It was knitted by a senior last year. I wore it then, didn’t you see?"

"Did she knit this sweater?"

Rong Xiyi was half-convinced, mostly because the sweater was too nice, she couldn’t quite accept that Ning Yuhuan’s skills were this good.

Wait, she can actually knit this well?

"Not lying to you."

"Pfft."

"Jealous?"

"Ha, who’s jealous!"

Throughout the whole class meeting, Rong Xiyi was pondering over this matter.

Finally, at half-past eight in the evening, Xia Xiyao received a message from Rong Xiyi.

"Yaoyao, Ning Yuhuan can knit sweaters."

"She can knit sweaters?"

Xia Xiyao was quite surprised: "Are there still girls who can knit sweaters now?"

Can’t blame her for being surprised, people who can knit sweaters these days are probably middle-aged women. Back when the economy hadn’t developed, many people didn’t have much money, so things like clothes and hats, or if they were in rural areas, many farming tools were made by themselves.

Like in Xia Xiyao’s family, only her grandma could knit sweaters, while her mother grew up in the city, and couldn’t knit.

Now that the economy has developed, who among the younger generation still knows how to do this? And there’s no need, old-fashioned knitted sweaters aren’t always comfortable or warm, and most hand-crafted work doesn’t match the precision of machines.

"Xu Lin said that the sweater was knitted by Ning Yuhuan, and it’s quite good-looking."

"No wonder Xu Lin spends more time with Ning Yuhuan; what guy wouldn’t like a girlfriend like that?"

Xia Xiyao: "She can cook, knit, and probably more than that."

"Yaoyao, I can’t do any of that. Cry.jpg"

Rong Xiyi: "I never got cooking right, and knitting sweaters is even harder for me."

"You actually want to knit sweaters?"

"Kind of want to."

"Stop thinking about it, you have your strengths, and Ning Yuhuan has hers. If you try to mimic others, you’ll lose your uniqueness. Besides, you have short-lived enthusiasm; after a couple of days, you won’t feel like learning anymore."

"Yaoyao, where am I short-lived?"

"Weren’t you into yoga recently? Then after two days, there was no word about it."

"I just found it too boring, and it was quite difficult."

"Knitting sweaters is even more boring, and you have to deal with needles, knitting row by row — more tedious than yoga. In my opinion, just be yourself; there’s no need to learn everything, especially when you tend to have short-lived enthusiasm."

Xia Xiyao could see right through Rong Xiyi.

"Yaoyao, but Ning Yuhuan’s knitted sweaters are really nice. Cry.jpg"

"Then give it a try, see how many days you can stick with it."

"I’ll first go online to buy needles and thread!"

Rong Xiyi acted immediately, while Xia Xiyao thought, let’s see how long she’ll keep at it.

Actually, Rong Xiyi is quick to get excited, but doesn’t usually maintain interest for long.

On the other side.

Xu Lin stayed at the dorm tonight.

This semester is already halfway through, it’s mid-November, and by early January, it’ll be holiday time again.

But tonight was the first time Xu Lin stayed at the school this semester.

Entering sophomore year, only Xie Zhengrong and Hu Donghai were left staying in Xu Lin’s dorm; Liu Longsheng had moved out, and someone like Xu Lin just kept the bed but only stayed occasionally.

Liu Longsheng has been dating a junior girlfriend this semester, and they started living together just after a month.

Living together after just over a month, Xu Lin thought, that’s fast?

However, when he thought about it, he was the same.

So he wasn’t in a position to critique others.

Moreover, across the hall, Zhao Liangchen was doing the same thing, moving out this semester too. Over the past six months, Xu Lin wrote several rap songs for him, and Zhao Liangchen’s development was looking good, with over six million followers on Douyin. Plus, his fans were very active — each video getting at least fifty thousand likes with several reaching over a million.

Not to mention he’s good with fashion, with many trendy brands looking to collaborate, making good money.

A while back, Xu Lin heard he was preparing to participate in Huaxia’s Rap, and a popular street dance show also invited him; turns out Zhao Liangchen can street dance too. All in all, he’s doing really well.

Thus, to better focus on his career, Zhao Liangchen moved out as well.

And he’s quite wealthy, has moved into a fancy apartment, though rented, the rent is forty to fifty thousand a month.

Rumor has it that the area he lives in is full of beautiful women, and many are kept by bigshots like canaries, all top-tier beauties.

As of now, Xu Lin has about twenty to thirty apprentices, some may not be superstars, but they have some achievements, especially the ones taken on last year; the worst among them has made seven to eight million this year alone. As long as they’re not living in a super first-tier city like Jiangdu but in a new first-tier city, such an annual income is quite comfortable.
