Xiao Fang scratched his head. "Miss, it seems the boss said he'd come back to accompany Miss Yi to find a book, and skip work for a day."
Looking for a book?
Mu Wenya only knew that Yi Yi had been studying foreign languages recently, and asked in surprise, "Is Yi Yi studying this hard?"

On the other side, Yi Yi started a frantic search as soon as she entered the study. She didn't miss a single corner, picking up every book to glance at before quickly putting it down again.
"Yi Yi, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly so interested in that book?"
Aside from food, this was the first time Mu Nanxun had ever seen Yi Yi so interested in anything.
Upon hearing this, Yi didn't even look up and urged, "Mumu, stop asking and help me find it quickly."
Then he added, "This book contains records about our race."
Mu Nanxun was a little confused, but he roughly understood that the book was very important to Yi Yi. So he didn't ask any more questions and also started searching.
However, this study was enormous, with three floors and tens of thousands of books. If it were just the two of them, they probably wouldn't be able to find it for ages.
"Xiao Fang, come to the study."
Mu Nanxun took out his phone and dialed Xiao Fang's number. After hanging up, Xiao Fang quickly arrived at the study.
"Boss, what can I do for you?"
"Go and gather the men in black, and find a book."
"Find...find a book? Boss, please send me on another mission. I'll do anything, even go through fire and water, just don't let me touch a book. This, this, I'm allergic to books..."
Xiao Fang's square face was scrunched up in a frown. He had never been interested in books since he was a child, let alone the thick stack of books in this study with their crooked and messy writing; just looking at them gave him a headache.
Upon hearing this, Mu Nanxun stopped what he was doing and glanced at Xiao Fang with his sharp, hawk-like eyes. "Is there a problem?"
"No...no problem, I'll take care of it right away!"
Xiao Fang grinned and ran away.
Before long, nearly twenty men in black rushed into the study from outside and started working without saying a word.
With the men in black joining the search, the process sped up considerably. However, the study was enormous, and it took all these people a whole day to barely manage to find all the books in it.
But... the second volume of that classic text was not found.
Yi sat dejectedly in the middle of the sea of books, panting heavily from exhaustion and hunger.
Mu Nanxun waved to send Xiao Fang and the man in black away, and then sat down next to Yi Yi.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Yi glanced at him helplessly and nodded. "Mumu, I just want to understand myself better. But... you could say it would be fine if I had never seen this book before, but since I've already seen it, why won't you let me find the second volume and finish reading it?"
"I know," Mu Nanxun reassured. "What's recorded in books isn't always accurate, so it's okay if we can't find it."
"That's right, I'm sure what the book says is true." Yi Yi grabbed Mu Nanxun's hand and said urgently, "Mu Mu, did we not look carefully enough? Did we miss something? Can you help me look again?"
“I can help you look for it, but… you haven’t eaten all day, we need to eat first.”
Mu Nanxun said with heartache.
Yi shook her head, surprisingly losing her appetite for the first time. "I don't want to eat."
