Everyone on the Starry Sky Train knows that March 7th dislikes reading... She usually reads only to help herself fall asleep...
"Oh well, never mind." Zhou Xiao shook his head and then casually browsed through the books on the bookstall.
Are you really smart?
Um?
The book's title caught Zhou Xiao's attention. Opening the table of contents, the strange and unusual titles made Zhou Xiao frown.
Should bald people use shampoo or facial cleanser when washing their hair?
Why do meteorites always manage to land precisely in the impact crater?
Coffee beans are beans, but is coffee considered soy milk?
Can a shiitake mushroom still be called a shiitake mushroom if it falls into the toilet?
If I punch myself and it hurts, does that mean I'm strong or weak?
In overcoming myself, did I win or lose?
...
Zhou Xiao only glanced at the table of contents and felt an indescribable sense of bewilderment.
Oh no, it seems like it's starting to get a brain...
He stopped thinking, then called out to Danheng, who was picking out books, and handed him the book.
Dan Heng took it, glanced at it a few times, and his brows gradually furrowed unconsciously.
Obviously.
He was so engrossed in the book that when he left the bookstore, he quietly bought it, intending to take it back to the train and study it carefully.
...
Xingmei stood at the bookstall for a while and bought a few novels.
"Are you leaving?" The drowsy March 7th seemed to wake up a lot when she heard someone say they were leaving.
"What's the next step again?"
"Going to the fountain to daydream, huh?"
"Daydreaming is my forte..."
Finally leaving the place that made March 7th drowsy, March 7th felt much better.
The group walked towards the fountain in the distance.
Seeing Danheng and Xingmei walking ahead, she consciously took two steps closer to Zhou Xiao, but Zhou Xiao didn't seem to care.
"Um..." March 7 hesitated for a long time before asking that question.
"how?"
Seeing March 7's hesitation, Zhou Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly: "No way, I really don't have any money right now..."
Zhou Xiao sensed that something was definitely wrong with March 7th's embarrassed demeanor.
"Who asked you for money..."
After Zhou Xiao said that, March 7th, who was already hesitant to speak, became even more speechless. She looked Zhou Xiao up and down and then said:
"You really have no money left?"
"Huh? You really are after my money?" Zhou Xiao exclaimed in surprise. "What have you bought lately?"
“I didn’t buy anything, you idiot…” March 7 scratched her head, feeling like she and Zhou Xiao weren’t on the same wavelength.
"What I meant was... if you're short of money, I can lend you some..."
"You? Lend it to me?" Zhou Xiao stared at March 7 for a moment, clearly not expecting March 7 to say that.
"Um... don't underestimate me, I do have a little bit of savings..." Feeling a little embarrassed by Zhou Xiao's close and serious gaze, March 7's voice gradually softened.
"Supporting you... should be enough."
The voice was already very, very soft.
Zhou Xiao didn't hear it; he just felt like he'd taken the wrong medicine on March 7th.
"Never mind, I'll just go back to the train and ask Himeko for it... You should keep your little stash of money for a while longer."
Zhou Xiao said that Ji Zi had promised to pay him for the mission, and he would ask her for it once he got on the train...
Princess...
Himeko?
Hearing Zhou Xiao's words on March 7th gave her a strange feeling. Although there was nothing wrong with Zhou Xiao's answer, it still made her feel that her relationship with Zhou Xiao wasn't as good as Ji Zi's...
...
Upon arriving at the fountain, one can see many coins of varying sizes lying at the bottom of the shimmering water, which is probably why the locals use this fountain as a wishing well.
Danheng consciously found a chair and sat down, then took out the book he had just bought, "Are You Really Smart?" and began to read it.
Xingmei stroked her chin, looking thoughtfully at the coins in the pool. She took out a coin from her pocket, made a sincere wish, and then threw it in.
The coin sank from the surface of the water to the bottom, and nothing happened.
"Hey! You're not allowed to throw coins here..." came the voice of the fountain manager from behind. Xingmei turned around and scratched her head sheepishly.
"Huh? We're not allowed to toss coins?"
Just then, Zhou Xiao and March 7 also came over. Hearing what the manager said, Zhou Xiao looked at the coins at the bottom of the fountain pool as if searching for the one that Xingmei had thrown in earlier.
"Wait...you're not thinking of taking it, are you?" March 7th seemed to have seen through Zhou Xiao's thoughts.
Yes.
That's right.
Zhou Xiao actually went and tried to retrieve it in broad daylight.
He didn't scoop up much; he just retrieved the coin that Xingmei had thrown in earlier, and then tossed it to Xingmei in front of the fountain manager.
“Master…” Xingmei was completely bewildered.
"Didn't you hear? People aren't allowed to toss coins," Zhou Xiao said calmly.
Since he stopped being so rude, he feels much more relaxed.
The fountain attendant glanced at Zhou Xiao but didn't say anything.
Coins aren't allowed here, but the coins that are put in are all small change. He collects them every day and puts them in his pocket...
Of course.
Despite Zhou Xiao's lack of manners, there was nothing he could say.
