If you really get slapped in the face, your skin will likely be left with red marks, or even suffer serious consequences such as broken bones.

It hurts a bit just thinking about it.

So, Lu Xi crossed her legs, sat on the bed, and tried to convince the Void Whale in another way.

"Little whale, how about I make a little nest for you and put you on the sofa? It's very comfortable there, too." She coaxed gently.

In Lu Xi's opinion, children sometimes don't want to do things, but as long as they are coaxed a little and given some sweet treats, they will be obedient.

Especially when dealing with children like hers, this trick is the most effective.

Sure enough, when the Void Whale heard the word "nest", its eyes immediately lit up, and it was somewhat expectant.

Since it was born, it has been able to fly freely in the air, and even when it is sleeping, it still has the instinct to float in the air.

In the past, I was used to falling asleep snuggled up to my mother, and had never experienced a sleeping environment with any shielding or covering.

Therefore, it is completely unfamiliar with the concept of "nest" and full of curiosity.

Today, when it heard the word "nest" from Lu Xi for the first time, an indescribable yearning surged in its heart.

It imagines that it can have a little world of its own, a cozy corner where it can sleep peacefully.

So the Void Whale answered without hesitation: "Okay, I want a nest."

A little nest of your own.

Seeing the Void Whale so excited, the smile on Lu Xi's face couldn't help but deepen.

She thought that for the sake of this little guy, she could pay a little more for the small items she had ordered before, and ask the sister who did the handicrafts to work harder, stay up a little longer at night, and finish them as soon as possible.

But now, the most important thing is to quickly build a nest for the Void Whale. Let’s start with a simple one.

Lu Xi herself loves handicrafts and has all kinds of materials available at home.

What’s even more coincidental is that there was some thick wool for knitting scarves in the bedroom. This was simply providence!

Lu Xi ran to the cupboard, pulled out a pile of colorful balls of wool, then turned around and asked Void Whale expectantly.

"Hey, little guy, come over here and take a look. Which color do you like? Black, white, or gray? Or this blue that's a bit like your skin color, or this brighter blue-green gradient color?"

Lu Xi had bought these balls of wool with full confidence, intending to make something great out of them. However, after the express package was unpacked, they were forgotten in a corner.

Now, these forgotten balls of wool finally have a use. Lu Xi has already taken two bamboo sticks and is ready.

This kind of nest is quick and soft. Put a plush cushion inside and it will be perfect.

The Void Whale widened its eyes, looking at the deep blue ball of yarn for a while, then looking at the cool blue-green gradient color, obviously finding it difficult to make a decision.

It thought to itself that it would be nice to have a nest of a similar color to its own, but the gradient color looked really attractive, which really made it feel torn.

Seeing the Void Whale's tangled look, Lu Xi couldn't help but laugh. She gently encouraged him, "It's okay, little guy. Just choose whichever one you like."

Hearing Lu Xi say this, the Void Whale became bolder. It mustered up its courage and said in a childish voice: "Sister, I actually like them all. I like this blue one, and I think that gradient color is great too. Can I... have two?"

After saying that, it looked up at Lu Xi cautiously, fearing that it would be rejected.

However, Lu Xi answered without hesitation: "Of course!"

In her opinion, such little things were not difficult to knit, and both could be done in less than half an hour.

Since the Void Whale likes it so much, of course we have to fulfill its little wish.

So, Lu Xi took out her mobile phone from her mouth, carefully selected a cartoon, and placed it on the small table so that the Void Whale could watch it while waiting for its new nest.

Then, she found a comfortable position and sat on the ground, leaning her back lightly on the soft sofa, picked up the weaving stick in her hand, and began to move her hands skillfully.

Thinking back to the time when she knitted scarves, Lu Xi couldn't help but smile.

At that time, knitting scarves was very popular in school and was very popular.

Some students pretend to listen in class but are busy with their hands, while others squeeze out time after class to catch up on their work.

The girls in the dormitory, whether they were in the same dormitory or visiting their good friends, would chat while pulling the wool in their hands. Some were knitting for themselves, and some were knitting for their boyfriends.

Some boys also secretly learned to knit scarves in order to give their girlfriends a surprise in class, and they looked pretty good.

Lu Xi still has some general impressions now. It seems that some classmates have encountered difficulties or they want to knit their scarves to make them look better and are not satisfied with the existing patterns.

So, the group ran downstairs happily to ask the dormitory manager for advice.

The aunt was also very enthusiastic. She shared her decades of experience in knitting sweaters and helped solve some minor problems.

After returning, these students not only practiced hard themselves, but also started to act as teachers, teaching other students in the dormitory the newly learned patterns and how to make the weaving more regular and without unraveling when closing the edges.

At that time, the whole dormitory was filled with a strong knitting atmosphere. A ball of wool could be played with for a long time, and people would take it apart and knit it, and then take it apart and knit it again, over and over again.

However, things that can lead a trend are often easily labeled as "harmful".

Knitting scarves was all the rage in school. Although it brought fun to students, it was not considered a serious or leisure activity by teachers.

Teachers were worried that these handicraft activities would distract students and affect their academic performance, so they began to take strict measures, catching every one of them in an attempt to completely curb this "scarf knitting craze."

During that period, there was a tense atmosphere on campus. Students could only knit secretly during their spare time and had to be on guard against surprise attacks from teachers.

More people take it back to the dormitory and use it during their spare time or on Sundays when they could go out.

Looking back now, although that experience was a bit immature and helpless, it is undeniable that it has become a precious memory.

Although the memories are fragmented and difficult to connect together completely, whenever I think of those days, some fragments always emerge in my mind.
