"We are familiar with each other, I guess. Mr. Chen is a very nice person. Don't be fooled by his young age. He is well-educated and polite. I went to his house several times to ask for water, but he was not annoyed at all. He even made tea for me. Oh, and he used such a special and exquisite teacup. It is very beautiful," Ah Chou talked endlessly when talking about Chen Qingxuan. She really liked Chen Qingxuan. Chen Qingxuan was the first person she met when she came to Ningguta, and he was also a good neighbor she recognized very much. Ah Chou thought about the fact that Chen Qingxuan had taken her pulse some time ago, and she was even more grateful to Chen Qingxuan, "Mr. Chen also knows medical skills. He can take pulses very accurately. If you feel uncomfortable in the future, you don't have to go to the market to see a doctor. You can go down the mountain and see Mr. Chen directly."
"I'm in good health. There's no need to trouble others." Zhong Mingwei said sullenly, drinking his porridge with his head buried. He regretted that he had asked such a hasty question. What was he asking? Wouldn't it only make things difficult for him?
"It's a good thing to have a doctor as a neighbor. Just in case!" Ah Chou knew that Zhong Mingwei didn't like people mentioning his health, so he smiled and changed the subject, "By the way, Mr. Chen has a lot of books at home. I was thinking of borrowing a few books to entertain you."
"I'm not bored. There's no need for you to borrow books from others." Ah Chou kept talking about Mr. Chen in a bad way, and Zhong Mingwei was already fed up with it.
"Oh," it was Ah Chou's turn to be bored. She silently ate half a bowl of rice, and then she couldn't help but ask Zhong Mingwei in a low voice, "Um, don't you want to read?"
"No!" Zhong Mingwei thought that Ah Chou was going to borrow books from others again, so he immediately became angry and glared at Ah Chou and said, "Not at all!"
"Oh." This time, Ah Chou was completely speechless. He buried his head in eating and never raised it again.
The two of them finished their meal in silence. Zhong Mingwei was inexplicably angry, and Ah Chou also had something on his mind. No one realized that this was the first time they had eaten in silence. After the meal, Ah Chou began to quietly clean up the dishes and take them outside, while Zhong Mingwei leaned against the quilt, continuing to be inexplicably angry.
Ah Chou walked to the door with the dishes in her hand, and suddenly stopped. She slowly turned around and looked at Zhong Mingwei, who looked unhappy, and seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.
"What's wrong again?" Zhong Mingwei also saw Achou's expression and asked with a frown.
"Um...you really don't want to read?" Although she could clearly see that Zhong Mingwei was in a bad mood, Ah Chou still asked him. Twelve books cost her a whole penny.
"No! Not at all!" Zhong Mingwei was so angry that he suddenly sat up straight and said to Ah Chou with gritted teeth, "Even if you lend me the book, I won't read it!"
“Hualala!”
This time, Achou could hear his own heart breaking.
One penny of silver!
A whole penny!
Why didn't she buy anything else? She bought a bunch of books that no one wanted to read. Ah Chou was very upset.
"But..." Achou sniffed, looking aggrieved.
"But what?" Before Ah Chou could finish his words, Zhong Mingwei interrupted him angrily, "Did that Chen guy force you to borrow books from him?"
"No!" Ah Chou felt even more aggrieved, "I bought you books, twelve in total! But you didn't want to read them, and the bookstore owner definitely wouldn't give you a refund."
"I...I want to see it!" Zhong Mingwei was startled, then he rubbed his nose unnaturally, "I want to see it, I really want to see it, really."
"But you just now..." Ah Chou muttered, obviously dissatisfied.
"I didn't want to read it just now, but I do now. Hurry up and give me the book. I can't wait." Zhong Mingwei felt like he was having a seizure and was busy interrupting Achou's words, fearing that she was still wondering why he had a seizure just now. He didn't want to discuss this issue with Achou at all, really didn't want to at all.
