The second floor of the bookstore mainly features Chinese and foreign literature, with a small section dedicated to comics. At that time, Japanese, American, and Hong Kong comics had only recently entered the domestic market, and the majority of consumers were students.
Cosplay was not yet popular, and various bizarre costumes were still in their infancy, so the anime world was still very innocent at that time.
Compared to the literature section, this area is the most popular. In addition to university students, many primary and secondary school students gather here, each with a comic book in hand, finding a corner to sit or squat, and reading with great interest.
Shen Li picked up a copy of "Sailor Moon," while Chu Yang picked up a copy of "Tomie," intending to revisit this classic horror manga.
He had only been looking at it for a short while when his eyes caught sight of a large, bearded head sticking out from the side of the bookshelf, startling him. He thought Tomie had mutated.
It turned out to be my older cousin, Shi Nuo.
Shi Nuo waved the book in his hand; needless to say, it was another work by Master Huang.
This time it's "Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty".
Chu Yang walked over and said, "Big cousin, let's change to another one."
Shi Nuo asked in surprise, "Isn't this book good? It's been made into a TV series. It's a classic work by Master Huang."
Chu Yang shook his head: "It's not that it's bad, and it is indeed a classic work by Huang Yi, but the point is, there are no sex scenes in it. Would you be happy to watch it if there were no sex scenes?"
"Damn, how can anyone be happy about this?" Schnor immediately expressed his disdain.
If Master Huang isn't Huang, then he wouldn't be the Master Huang he likes.
"Can you recommend a book?"
Chu Yang glanced at Shen Li, who was sitting on a small stool, her beautiful eyes shining as she intently looked at the comic book in her hands.
"You stay here by yourself for a while, I'll go pick out a book for my older cousin."
"Okay, go ahead." Little Pear didn't even look up.
Chu Yang and Shi Nuo arrived at the literature section, but there were too many bookshelves, and they couldn't find a place to put their novels for a while.
"Where did you get it just now?" Chu Yang asked.
Schno thought for a moment: "Over there... and it seems to be over there."
Chu Yang: "..."
"Let's split up and look for it. Let me know when you find it."
"Okay."
Chu Yang continued his search, and as he passed the bookshelf of prose poems, he paused.
It was simply because I saw a collection of poems on the bookshelf, written by the Irish poet William Butler Yeats.
Thinking that Shu'er would like it, I took it down from the bookshelf.
When you pull the book out, you can see the top of the bookshelf opposite you through the gap.
He hadn't paid much attention to it at first, but he was all too familiar with the pear blossom patterned hair clip in her hair.
"It can't be such a coincidence, can it?" He walked around the bookshelf and quietly poked his head out.
I was just going to take a quick look to confirm before turning back, but the other person happened to look over too.
The two froze.
"Chu Yang?"
"Shu'er?"
Well, what a coincidence! It really is Li Qingshu.
Her face was full of surprise.
Chu Yang was filled with shock.
Shen Li is in the comics section, she could come looking for me anytime, anywhere. How am I supposed to explain that?
But before that, he needs to explain something else.
"What are you doing here? I texted you but you didn't reply." After the initial surprise, Li Qingshu said reproachfully.
"Uh, my phone died," Chu Yang said casually.
"As for why I'm here, it's to buy books, of course," he said, picking up the poetry collection he had just chosen.
"This is a good book; I was thinking of buying it for you."
Li Qingshu smiled broadly: "William Butler Yeats? I haven't read his works. Are they good?"
Chu Yang smiled slightly: "Of course, Yeats was the leader of the Irish Renaissance, and his works have a romantic and magnificent style. 'When You Are Old' is my favorite poem."
Yes, that's the only song he knows, and it's even a Chinese translation.
Anyway, the young lady will definitely like it.
“Then I’ll take a good look at this poem,” Li Qingshu said happily.
After flipping through a few pages, she looked up and asked, "Did you come alone?"
This is a very important issue.
However, Chu Yang did not lie: "I am not alone."
Li Qingshu was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "Oh right, you're not alone."
Chu Yang: "..."
"Who did you come with?" she asked again.
Before Chu Yang could finish weaving, a rough voice rang out: "Squeak!"
He twitched the corner of his mouth. "Big cousin, you silly goose, I told you to make a sound and you actually made one, and it was such a mesmerizing sound."
"I'm here," Chu Yang replied.
"Who is it?" Li Qingshu asked curiously.
"Chen Li's older cousin, and Shen Li herself is here too. I'm here with them to read books," Chu Yang said, no longer hiding anything.
The second floor of the bookstore is only so big, you're bound to run into them eventually; there's no way to avoid it.
Fortunately, my older cousin was there to help cover for me.
"Oh, your eldest niece is here too." Li Qingshu didn't suspect anything.
Just then, my older cousin came over.
"I found Huang Yi's book. Oh, and who is this...?"
"Li Qingshu, my girlfriend," Chu Yang said with a smile.
Shi Nuo's eyes widened suddenly: "You you you you..."
"It's so beautiful, did it scare you?" Chu Yang winked at him.
“I…I…I…” Shi Nuo pointed at Li Qingshu, then pointed in the direction of the comic book section, his expression extremely interesting.
Chu Yang said calmly, "I know, I know. I'll talk to my brother about the salary increase. A thousand more, right?"
Schno's expression changed instantly, and he grinned, "Your girlfriend is really beautiful!"
"Pfft." Li Qingshu laughed at his joke.
