Yi opened the book and pretended to read. However, the text was so unfamiliar, and she had no interest in reading at all, so she didn't absorb a single word.
She pretended to be engrossed in reading, but her eyes were glancing in Mu Nanxun's direction, secretly observing his expression.
Hmm, his thin lips were pressed into a tight arc, his long eyebrows were cold and stern, and his nostrils flared slightly... He looked quite angry.
Xiao Fang: Miss Yi, say something to lighten the mood! If you don't say anything, we're all going to freeze to death from the boss's gaze!
After a while, Yi pointed to a character on the book that she couldn't understand at all, moved the book a little closer to Mu Nanxun, and moved herself a little closer to Mu Nanxun as well.
"Mumu, do you know what this character means? I don't understand it."
Her voice was incredibly gentle, and she even mimicked the coy, delicate women in TV dramas by wiggling her hips.
Mu Nanxun's deep eyes flickered. Even though he was furious and had a raging fire in his heart, he couldn't resist Yi Yi's show of weakness.
Turning his head, he saw the girl beside him with bright eyes and white teeth, carefully trying to please him.
This matter originally had nothing to do with Yi Yi, so how could he bear to involve her in it?
Mu Nanxun relaxed completely, his tightly furrowed brows began to loosen, and the taut curve of his lips slightly turned up. He put one arm around Yi Yi's waist and looked at the spot where she was pointing.
The next moment, Mu Nanxun's brows, which had just relaxed, furrowed again.
It turned out that the book Yi Yi was holding was a Latin classic.
Mu Nanxun is fluent in many languages and can translate grammar with ease, but Latin is a bit of a headache for him.
It wasn't because he found it too difficult; in fact, he hadn't yet found anything so difficult that he couldn't overcome it. It was just that he had never been interested in Latin since childhood, so he hadn't paid much attention when learning it, and after so many years of not using it, he had almost forgotten it.
He glanced at the cover of the book and vaguely remembered that it was about strange tales and unsolved mysteries from around the world.
I glanced again at the spot Yi was pointing to, and vaguely remembered that the word meant...
“Fox, this means fox,” Mu Nanxun affirmed.
fox……
Yi's eyes lit up. Wasn't that herself? Immediately intrigued, she pointed to a rather complicated-looking area. "And this? What does this mean?"
"this……"
Mu Nanxun frowned slightly. "It seems to mean tail."
"A tail?" Yi blinked. "Mumu, you don't recognize it either?"
“How could I not recognize it?” Mu Nanxun retorted, forcing a smile. “Of course I recognize something so simple. It’s Latin for ‘tail,’ absolutely.”
"Oh, okay." Yi was half-convinced. "It's alright, I can look it up myself."
Without further ado, Yi Yi quickly pulled out her phone. She had previously downloaded a translation app, and no matter what she needed, she could simply take a picture, upload it, and get a fairly accurate translation.
Mu Nanxun's lips twitched, somewhat displeased. "What do you mean? You'd rather check on your phone than believe me? Do you think I can't even understand a mere Latin word?"
"How about you translate this whole book for me? Oh, not the whole book, just translate this page for me first."
Yi smiled and held up the book, handing it to Mu Nanxun.
