Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 219

Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Just a Favor

Lin Zhiyi didn’t have time to stop him as Gong Chen picked up the items on the sofa.

A mostly completed scarf.

And various balls of yarn in different colors.

Some she discarded after knitting a few rows because the color didn’t look as good, leaving them aside.

As a result, they all became unfinished products.

In the end, she was torn between dark red and black.

The one thing Gong Chen had no shortage of was black items, so she leaned more toward dark red.

But she worried his personal preference might be black, so she knitted another scarf in black.

The sofa looked as if she had made an excessive fuss.

"All for me?"

Gong Chen’s expression remained cool, and his tone showed little fluctuation, as if asking casually.

*Lin Zhiyi suddenly felt she was being overly sentimental.*

She awkwardly tried to block the items on the sofa.

"No, I haven’t knitted in a long time and my skills have declined, so I bought a few as a backup."

Gong Chen bypassed her and casually picked one up to look at it. It was palm-width in length and had several dropped stitches.

"Indeed, you’ve regressed."

Lin Zhiyi pursed her lips and snatched the poorly knitted scarf from him.

"It’s definitely not as good as the ones bought outside."

*If you don’t like it, don’t take it.*

*She had put in effort, only to end up being rejected.*

Standing next to them, Chen Jin felt a headache coming on, deeply admiring Gong Chen’s ’emotionally unintelligent’ nature.

He quickly interrupted, "Miss Lin, on the way back, Third Young Master specifically instructed me to make brown sugar ginger tea for you. Where are your things? I’ll help you make it."

Lin Zhiyi felt less angry upon hearing this.

"I think I’m out of ginger at home. I’ll ask Sister Zhou for some."

"Alright."

Lin Zhiyi tiptoed out of the house, knocking on Sister Zhou’s door.

Seeing her foot, Sister Zhou asked worriedly, "What happened?"

Previously, when it came to the incident with Gong Yan, Lin Zhiyi hadn’t mentioned much to Sister Zhou.

Sister Zhou only knew she had been set up in a matchmaking situation, which also led Lin Zhiyi to be blackmailed.

Therefore, she was especially concerned about Lin Zhiyi.

Supporting herself with the wall, Lin Zhiyi replied, "It’s nothing. I’m here to get some ginger from you; my stomach hurts."

Sister Zhou understood instantly. "Don’t trouble yourself, I’ll cook it for you and bring it over."

"Someone’s at home."

"Oh~ I understand, I’ll get it for you."

Sister Zhou glanced at the door behind Lin Zhiyi and instantly understood.

In a short while, she brought over a plate of ginger.

"By the way, didn’t you say the other day you wanted to learn the knitting technique I mentioned? I recorded a video for you and will send it to you later. But if you’re knitting for a man, it’s really simple enough, don’t go to too much trouble."

*Lin Zhiyi was about to say she wanted to knit something special, but then she recalled Gong Chen’s indifferent attitude when seeing the scarf.*

She smiled faintly, "After all, he helped me, so consider it a favor repaid."

*And she wasn’t lying.*

*Had it not been for Gong Chen, she might have truly relived the nightmare of her past life.*

*Thus, she was genuinely grateful to Gong Chen.*

Receiving the ginger, Lin Zhiyi returned home.

Chen Jin gave her a meaningful look and turned to make the brown sugar ginger tea.

She didn’t think much of it, and when she arrived in the living room, she found Gong Chen standing on the balcony smoking.

The winter sunlight fell on his back, casting a long shadow, proud and indifferent.

The cold wind stirred his neat hair, always giving the impression that he was somewhat unreachable.

"Miss Lin, the ginger tea is ready."

Chen Jin’s voice startled the person on the balcony, and Lin Zhiyi turned around, pretending not to care as she walked to the dining table.

"Thank you, Assistant Chen."

"You’re welcome." Chen Jin’s attitude suddenly became distant.

Before Lin Zhiyi could figure it out, Gong Chen approached expressionlessly.

"Let’s go."

"Uncle..."
