A trustworthy person? Xia Ning immediately thought of Zhong Wanwan!
Of all the people at Red Star Farm, Xia Ning was most familiar with Zhong Wanwan and trusted her character the most!
Moreover, Xia Ning felt that what Zhong Wanwan said about those people in the cowshed wasn't just gossip, but a reminder to her!
This matter might put Zhong Wanwan in danger, which made Xia Ning feel very guilty!
However, out of respect for the perseverance of the older generation like Grandpa Wu, Xia Ning decided to take the items and try to find Zhong Wanwan.
Xia Ning sneaked to Zhong Wanwan's house, crouching low and tiptoeing into the yard, startling Zhong Wanwan who had come out to use the toilet and was about to go back inside.
If Zhong Wanwan hadn't recognized Xia Ning's face, she would have thought a thief had broken into her house!
Zhong Wanwan walked silently behind Xia Ning, reached out her wicked hand, and slapped Xia Ning hard.
This startled Xia Ning, who let out a scream.
Seeing that it was Zhong Wanwan behind her, Xia Ning patted her chest and said:
"You scared me to death! Don't you know people can scare each other to death? How come you walk so quietly?"
Zhong Wanwan rolled her eyes and said:
"Stop trying to shift the blame! You know how to scare people to death? If I hadn't recognized your face, I would have thought a thief had broken into my house!"
"What a sleazy pose you're using! You didn't even make a sound while walking in the snow!"
Xia Ning looked guilty, glanced around to make sure no one was watching, and then hurriedly pulled Zhong Wanwan into Zhong Wanwan's room.
After closing the door, Xia Ning solemnly said:
"Comrade Zhong Wanwan, I want to ask you for a favor. If you agree, the owner of the item and I will be grateful to you for the rest of our lives!"
"If you don't agree, then pretend I was never here today. And please, for the sake of our friendship, don't tell anyone about this!"
Zhong Wanwan had never seen Xia Ning so serious about something before, and her expression couldn't help but become solemn as well. Zhong Wanwan nodded and said:
"I understand what you mean. Tell me, what is it?"
Xia Ning took out three books from her bag and said:
"These three books are original English editions, and their contents are very valuable. If they are burned, the original versions will never be found again, so I would like to ask you to help me preserve them..."
Zhong Wanwan took the book, opened the cover, and saw a very familiar title.
Seeing that Zhong Wanwan hadn't said anything for a while, Xia Ning assumed that she didn't know how to refuse.
Although somewhat disappointed, she fully understood that Zhong Wanwan was unwilling to take such a big risk.
If she were in Zhong Wanwan's situation, with her two younger brothers by her side, she might not be willing to risk helping her friend either.
Just as Xia Ning was about to put the book away, Zhong Wanwan coughed lightly and said:
“Xia, the educated youth, actually, even if these books had been burned, it wouldn’t have been impossible to find the original versions again…”
Xia Ning didn't expect Zhong Wanwan to say that. She said she wouldn't say anything if Zhong Wanwan didn't want to help, but Zhong Wanwan questioned the importance of these books, which Xia Ning couldn't tolerate.
Xia Ning said angrily:
"You have no idea how precious this book is. Do you know how much suffering Grandpa Wu endured to preserve it, and how his companions were forever lost in the Ugly Country..."
Zhong Wanwan silently turned around, pretending to rummage through the kang cabinet, but actually she was transitioning from the space.
Taking out the same three books as Xia Ning, Zhong Wanwan silently placed them next to Xia Ning's three books...
The silence was a wake-up call!
