Otis wanted to surprise Mei, wanted to finish the knitted wool animal as soon as possible, so he told a small lie. "I'm meeting someone to play basketball today…" He had used this type of lie before, just to create a surprise for her and only tell the truth afterward. On March 16th, Otis received another message from Mei. But that day he really did have something to do. He had to report to his advisor, and his graduation project still wasn't finished, so all he could do was groan. Knitting had already taken quite a bit of his time, and for the past few days he had been grinding through his thesis project.
