With a creak, she pushed open the library door, prompting the old man behind the counter to look up from above his reading glasses.
Now that she has the status of a military dependent, it's much more convenient for her to go to the library. She can also borrow books from the library to read, and then just return them on time.
"Just find what you want to read yourself. If you can't find a book, just tell me and I'll get it for you." The old man in the library glanced at her, noticed that she was heavily pregnant and a military dependent, and his attitude softened considerably. Then he continued to read his book while wearing his reading glasses.
"Remember to walk slowly."
Lin Yuxi nodded and put her ID back. The library was filled with the unique smell of books. She had specially worn a long cotton-padded coat with fleece lining today, but her five-month pregnant belly was still clearly visible. She walked among the bookshelves, glanced at them briefly, and finally stood on tiptoe to pull out a book.
"Oh, isn't this Commander Gu's wife?" A sarcastic remark pierced Lin Yuxi's back like a sharp sword.
Lin Yuxi remained as steady as a mountain, holding the book firmly, not startled in the slightest by the sudden sound.
Lin Yuxi turned around and saw Zou Lengyan standing in the aisle, holding two books, like a proud peacock. She had a red towel around her neck and exquisite makeup on her face. At this moment, she curled her red lips.
"What? Doesn't Commander Gu's family recognize me? Or are you just too forgetful?"
Zou Lengyan's tone was unmistakably sarcastic. She remembered that it was because of the activity room incident that her husband wouldn't let her participate anymore, thinking she was just trying to smooth things over. Now she didn't even have a chance to show her face in the family compound anymore.
Moreover, she even bought gifts and went to their house to apologize, which made Zou Lengyan furious.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yuxi raised her eyelids, took a step back, and kept her distance.
Zou Lengyan approached, her strong perfume scent mixed with the fragrance of face cream wafting towards Lin Yuxi like a surging torrent.
She glanced at the book in Lin Yuxi's hand. "You're heavily pregnant and you still came all this way to read? And this is a college entrance exam-related literature magazine. What? Didn't Commander Gu come with you?"
As if testing the waters, she glanced around behind Lin Yuxi to make sure she was alone, and a sneer crept onto her lips.
Lin Yuxi's face turned cold in an instant, and she immediately protected her stomach. "What do I need you to meddle in?"
"Hehe... No wonder Commander Gu is so obsessed with you. Looking closely, you are indeed quite good-looking." Zou Lengyan suddenly lowered her voice, but became even more aggressive. "I'd better not bother you. After all, a country bumpkin is a country bumpkin. He can only come to the library to take a look."
She glanced meaningfully at Lin Yuxi's belly, "It's better to stay home with such a big belly, don't come to the library and crowd it."
After Zou Lengyan finished speaking, she brushed past Lin Yuxi and deliberately bumped into her with her shoulder, causing Lin Yuxi's shoulder to hit the bookshelf and a book to fall off. Even though she was on guard, she did not expect Zou Lengyan to blatantly bump into her.
Lin Yuxi wasn't going to let it go. She stretched out her leg and crossed it right next to Zou Lengyan's feet. But the book moved before she could, hitting Zou Lengyan on the head. Zou Lengyan fell to the ground and crashed into the bookshelf behind her.
"Ouch!" Zou Lengyan fell to the ground in pain, her chin hitting the ground and bleeding profusely.
"What are you doing?" The old man's stern voice came from the front.
Zou Lengyan turned the tables, covering her chin as she said, "She pushed me!"
