Jiang Xiaoli looked up and asked, "Qinglin doesn't live here anymore? What happened?"

"She moved in with her boyfriend."

"What?" Xiao Jincheng's was much bigger than Jiang Xiaoli's anyway.

In his view, it was an unforgivable crime for a young college student to move in with her boyfriend!

"Uncle Xiao, calm down."

She frowned. "Do Qinglin's family know about her relationship with her boyfriend?"

Xiao Muyu pursed her lips. "She didn't say, but I guess she doesn't know. She asked me to keep it a secret for her."

Xiao Jincheng patted the table with his hand, "This child is really being unreasonable!"

"Um... Xiaoli, are you going to tell Qinglin's family?"

Jiang Xiaoli shrugged. "Do you think I'm a busybody?"

Xiao Jincheng disagreed, "Xiao Li, this is no small matter for a young girl. Aren't you afraid that your uncle and aunt will have a problem with you when they find out?"

She chuckled softly, "Uncle Xiao, someone will take care of Qinglin's matter, don't worry."

Seeing that she said that, Xiao Jincheng stopped asking questions. "Alright, as long as you understand. Even though you don't live in Wudu all the time, you're still family. Don't let these things cause any unpleasantness!"

"Okay," Jiang Xiaoli replied. "I understand."

As they ate and chatted, Xiao Muyu asked, "Was it troublesome for you to come by train?"

"No trouble at all!" Xiao Jincheng said with a smile, "We listened to Little Pear tell us stories all the way here."

Xiao Muyu's lips curled up, "What new stories have you been up to lately?"

“It’s not a new story,” she explained. “It’s the English book that our teacher, Mr. Zhao, recommended to us in high school, called ‘Little Paddington Bear.’ Do you remember it?”

We took the train from Paddington Station and saw this plush toy for sale in a nearby shop, so I bought one and told it stories from the book on the way here.

Xiao Muyu said with a smile, "This story is indeed very interesting. I even bought a hardcover edition."

Upon hearing this, Cao Jie interjected, "Miss Xiao, where is a bookstore around here? Chairman Jiang told us half of the story, and I really want to know how it ends."

"I'll give you mine. I bought it, looked at it once, and never touched it again. It's just gathering dust."

Cao Jie wanted to refuse, but Jiang Xiaoli patted her arm and said, "It's just a book. She doesn't need it. After you finish reading it, you can tell Uncle Xiao the story as payment."

"Haha!" Xiao Jincheng agreed, "That's great, Xiao Cao, I'm waiting for you!"

Cao Jie hadn't expected to be given this extra task at the last minute. She forced a smile and said, "Hehe, President Xiao, I'll do my best."

“Speaking of novels…” Xiao Muyu suddenly perked up, “Xiao Li, I must strongly recommend a novel to you, it’s so good, I devoted the entire weekend to this book!”

Jiang Xiaoli raised an eyebrow. "Oh, what kind of novel is it? One that would make you give up your study time?"

"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone!"

The Philosopher's Stone?

Of course she knew the famous "Harry Potter" series, but what on earth was this Philosopher's Stone? Shouldn't the first book be called "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"?

Xiao Muyu presented the book like a treasure, and only then did she realize that the original English title of the book was "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

Philosopher's Stone, literally translated, is a treasure in Western alchemy that can turn stone into gold and create elixirs of immortality.

Xiao Muyu sat next to her and frantically brainwashed her, recommending the book, "This book was only published in June this year, and the first print run was only 500 copies. As a result, it sold out in just two days after it went on sale, and now it's being reprinted like crazy."

Lately, my classmates have been talking about Muggles and magic a lot, but I really don't understand it, so I read this book. I was instantly captivated; it's so good!

Xiao Jincheng had never seen his daughter recommend anything like this before; at this moment, he would be interested even in a novel written entirely in English.

"Is it really that beautiful?"

Xiao Muyu nodded vigorously, "It's really good-looking!"

Jiang Xiaoli chuckled and turned the page. "Uncle Xiao, this book has more content, so I might not be able to tell you the story!"

Xiao Jincheng laughed heartily, "How could this stump me? Finding a translator is a piece of cake! I'll call Ye Tang right now!"

"Hahaha."

She suddenly felt a little sorry for Ye Tang; she had been on vacation, but the boss had suddenly assigned her such a big task.

She waved the book in her hand. "Xiaoyu, can you do me a favor? Can you find me two copies of the first edition of this book?"

Although she hadn't read the original novels in her past life, she had watched the movies in this series many times, so she could be considered a semi-"Harry Potter fan".

Xiao Muyu didn't quite understand. "The first edition only had 500 copies printed, and there were two errors in it. What do you need it for?"

Jiang Xiaoli shrugged and said casually, "Since you're so enthusiastic, I think this novel must have a bright future. And with such a small first print run, why not collect it for fun?"

“That’s true!” Xiao Muyu nodded. “Then I’ll ask my classmates, but it might be difficult to find them.”

She put her arm around her shoulder and chuckled, "Instead of asking your classmates, you should ask your local tyrant boyfriend."

Xiao Muyu's face flushed instantly, and she whispered, "You're so annoying!"

Jiang Xiaoli chuckled, "I'm just telling the truth!"

Before long, it was time for Xiao Muyu to have her afternoon class.

They left the apartment together, and Jiang Xiaoli and Cao Jie each received an English novel.

Back at the hotel, both girls decided to read novels to pass the time.

Xiao Jincheng was really something. He simply stayed in Jiang Xiaoli's room. "Xiaoli, since you're reading novels anyway, could you translate a section for me? Let me hear what this novel that Xiaoyu likes so much is about!"

Jiang Xiaoli was speechless yet touched. Although Xiao Jincheng was not highly educated, his feelings for the children were very sincere.

She agreed, "Okay—today I'll be your personal translator, Xiao Jiang!"

The two of them made very slow progress in reading and listening to audiobooks, spending the entire afternoon reading and translating at the same time.

When there was a knock on the door, Jiang Xiaoli translated, "Hermione Granger! Hermione ran to the stool and quickly put the Sorting Hat on her head. The Sorting Hat shouted: Gryffindor!"

Seeing her close the book, Xiao Jincheng opened his eyes. "Hey, why did you stop? I still want to know where that little boy got assigned."

She pointed to the door, "Someone's knocking. I guess it's Xiaoyu."

She got up and went to open the door, and sure enough, it was Xiao Muyu.

Upon entering and seeing Xiao Jincheng there, she couldn't help but guess, "Has there been a change at work?"

Jiang Xiaoli smiled and pointed to the book placed beside the bed, "We're reading!"
