Chapter 144 Do you know the ending of that book?
Yu Xin’s bookstore is still the same as before, providing a quiet spot in the bustling city and fulfilling his dream of being “isolated from the world”.
Xiang Nuan took a deep breath. The last time she came here was when she and Yu Xin both fell on the curb and were being filmed and recorded. In the blink of an eye, not only did time fly by, but her mood also changed a lot.
This time last year, inside this door... Never mind, no more sentimentality. She pushed open the door of the bookstore with force.
"Hello, I'm here to return a book."
Yu Xin was not at the front desk, so Xiang Nuan resisted the urge to look around and quickly finished her business and left.
"Your... this is quite a long time overdue..."
"I know, sorry. Is there any extra charge?"
"Please wait a moment. I'll check. Do you want to borrow other books?"
Xiang Nuan shook her head and looked at the "Slam Dunk" series of figures on the table. Among the many distinctive characters, Mu Mujin, who was standing in the back row, looked even more reserved. She couldn't help but get closer to take a look...
"No need to check, just find the entire set of books and pack them for Miss Xiang."
Xiang Nuan turned around suddenly and saw Yu Xin looking at her with a smile. With his round-rimmed metal glasses, fresh and artistic temperament, and a smile that was always as warm as the spring breeze, he must be the object of many girls' admiration.
"I'm here to return a book."
"You don't have to return it. It's already yours." Yu Xin looked at her, raised his chin and smiled, "Why, are you tired of riding in the car and want to change to a new means of transportation?"
Do we know each other well? Xiang Nuan was a little confused. Was it her problem or Yu Xin's?
"What's wrong?" Seeing that she was just looking at him without saying anything, Yu Xin also lowered his head to check his clothes.
Xiang Nuan finally came to her senses, smiled and shook her head: "Your set of books is the first edition introduced, I can't take away someone's favorite."
Yu Xin smiled and circled around her twice: "Your mobility scooter is pretty good. There are no fans chasing after it. Everyone should have one? I'll make one for you later, otherwise the wheelchairs will be sold out in a few days."
Am I here to chat with you? Xiang Nuan smiled awkwardly. The book has been changed. Don't try to get close to me. Yu Xin seemed to know what she was thinking and didn't give her a chance to speak.
"You've come at the right time. Let me show you something interesting." Without saying a word, he pushed her up and walked into the bookstore.
"Anime is very popular these days, so I opened a special section. A fan of the bookstore volunteered to help me design it. I think it's really interesting. Take a look."
When did you and I become friends?!
"There's someone waiting for me outside..."
"Tap, tap, tap, look! How's it going?"
It would have been better if you didn't watch it, but a group of super-burning One Piece anime characters came flooding in, and Xiang Nuan was "shocked" and dumbfounded.
"This... is good." She said, but couldn't hide her smile: "It fits the style of the second dimension."
"Really?! I think those comic fans would like it."
Yu Xin held his chin and admired it seriously again.
"You are a great designer. If the time comes to decorate the place, I'll have to ask you to take charge."
What? This... this isn't a surprise, this is a shock, okay?!
"I don't understand all this. Uh, I have to go. The car is waiting outside." Xiang Nuan turned her wheelchair around and walked out.
Yu Xin looked at her back, smiled slightly, took two quick steps and held the wheelchair.
"I'm so sorry I didn't recognize you just now. Mrs. Jiang, please keep it." The waiter handed the packaged book to Xiang Nuan. She was a girl in her early twenties, and her two cute dimples always made people look at her twice when she smiled.
Xiang Nuan pushed it on the table and said, "I'm embarrassed to borrow it for such a long time. How can I take it away without returning it? Besides, it's really funny. Ran Ranfei said that this set of books was worn out and bought a new set online, so I already have it."
Yu Xin burst into laughter: "Ran Ran is right. There should be a comparison between the new and the old. Taking this set back will be a good opportunity for him to see whether the new one is better or the old one."
Without saying anything, he placed the book in Xiang Nuan's arms, and turned the armrest of the wheelchair to make her 180 degrees.
"It's not easy to park here. If you park for too long, you'll get a ticket."
Yu Xin pushed her out, and now he seemed to be in a hurry to get her out, fearing that she would return the book.
Xiang Nuan used to like this wheelchair, which was simply the invisible king among means of transportation. But now she realizes the helplessness of being "controlled by others".
"Have you followed up with the man in Xi'an?" he asked casually.
Xiang Nuan's heart skipped a beat. How come she and he had so many connections?
"You don't seem to be online today. You are not the Xiang Nuan I met for the first time." Yu Xin suddenly turned around and looked down at her: "Take care of yourself. Don't live every day like you are on the edge of a knife."
It was over. Xiang Nuan’s mind was already in a mess and she could only see Yu Xin’s face which looked like it was carved out of a comic book.
"Have you finished reading the book? Do you know the ending?" Xiang Nuan asked this question out of nowhere. If you were a time traveler, you would understand what I'm saying, right? !
Yu Xin frowned slightly: "Book? Slam dunk? Don't we all know the ending?"
A horn honked at the roadside, and Ling Zheng leaned out of the car to look at them. Yu Xin waved at him and pushed Xiang Nuan over.
"Who is that person?" Ling Zheng asked, far away from the bookstore.
"The bookstore owner."
"Wow, you are a VIP? The boss personally sent you out."
"Isn't this the treatment that celebrities' wives receive?"
"Just pull it off."
The two of them joked back and forth, but Xiang Nuan's eyes remained on the set of books. Whether she returned it or accepted it, this little bit of relationship was over. This was the last time she would come to his bookstore, the last time!
…
Jiang Yunhui was packing up his things in the hotel room. Things here were finally going to be done. In the past two days, there were film festivals, publicity, and interviews. Everything came in waves like a tide, and he didn't have time to calm down and think.
What about taking a few days to think it over? Humph, his brain is so overwhelmed with things to deal with, how can he have a moment of free time?
So when everyone suggested having a party, he decisively found an excuse to decline.
This is very Jiang Yunhui. Everyone is used to his reaction. Even though the topic of his wife has been hotly discussed these two days, his nature of preferring quietness over noise has not changed. So, he is not coming? That's normal!
After all the items were collected, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It was really early for a night owl like him, so he suddenly had an idea and decided to go shopping in the market.
He always had to bring her... ahem, a gift for Ranran. He used to be so busy with work that he always came and went in a hurry wherever he went, so much so that Ranran got used to him coming and going without a trace.
"Did you bring me anything fun and delicious?" Ran Ran asked him only once, when he was two years old. Since then, he learned not to have unrealistic fantasies.
Alas, he is a careless father after all.
Jiang Yunhui's heart skipped a beat, and the idea of buying a gift suddenly disappeared. In the bustling commercial street, he suddenly wanted to see Wanqing.
