Chapter Thirty-Four: A Book For You(1/2)
"Winning a City Lord to Become a Husband"
After reading the introduction for a while, I couldn't help but wonder, what does this mean? Does it mean that with deep work, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle?
Bei Yichen crossed his legs and stretched comfortably.
In his hand, he held the book that the landlady had brought over and flipped through it gently.
As he looked at it, the curvature of the corners of his mouth deepened, and he couldn't help but think of Nan Xixi.
The heroine's appearance in the book was a bit funny, and he couldn't help but read it page after page.
It had been a long time since he had read a book so comfortably. Perhaps this moment was the most comfortable he had ever felt since participating in this program.
"Brother Chen, you are here."
As soon as Nan Xixi walked into the store, she didn't see him. She couldn't help but feel nervous, thinking that he had left quietly.
Until the proprietress came over and took her into the small private room, and saw him sitting under the window reading a book.
The green of the garden is paired with its white, and there are desserts on the table nearby. It's as beautiful as a picture.
Nan Xixi couldn't bear to break the tranquility and approached quietly. She didn't speak until Bei Yichen noticed her.
"Are you back? Here, try the dessert you ordered."
"Brother Chen, what are you looking at?"
Bei Yichen handed the book to her with a smile.
Nan Xixi was curious for a while, looked at the book cover, and couldn't help but smile, "Brother Chen, it turns out you like reading this type of book?"
Seeing her smiling, Bei Yichen's heart seemed to skip a beat, and he couldn't help but think of the questions she asked him on the road.
"I'll give this book to you. Think of it as a gift for the ending of this show."
Nan Xixi still kept a smile on her face, but she was a little unhappy in her heart. She had some expectations for the gift, but she didn't expect that she would borrow flowers to offer to Buddha.
Bei Yichen looked at her forced smile, picked up the drink on the table and took a sip, "Don't like it?"
"No, no, I like it. As long as it's from you, I like it."
Nan Xixi stored the books carefully, and suddenly thought of something.
She stared at the drink in Bei Yichen's hand with wide eyes, "Brother Chen, is this sweet?"
Bei Yichen's eyes signaled her to taste it herself.
Nan Xixi immediately picked up the drink in front of her and took a sip, the refreshing mint flavor entering her mouth.
"Brother Chen, this is sweet."
"The drink is not sweet, could it be bitter?"
As soon as Bei Yichen finished speaking, he saw the landlady coming in from the outside, "That's right, life is already so hard, why don't you pamper yourself with more sweet treats?"
Listening to the two of them singing and harmonizing, Nan Xixi couldn't help but feel a little sour in her heart.
I had just been out for a while, and it seemed like the two of them had a great tacit understanding.
Looking at the sweetness of the landlady, I couldn't help but wonder, maybe Bei Yichen fell in love with her.
Nan Xixi couldn't help but cursed herself in her heart, "What a fool. Isn't this just shooting myself in the foot?"
The landlady's eyes fell on her face, and she immediately saw the change in her expression. She smiled, briefly asked if there was anything else she needed, and then left quickly.
As she walked, she thought, this little girl must be jealous.
Thinking of this, I felt happy for a while, and an inspiration immediately rushed into my brain. I couldn't wait to run to the bar, turned on my computer, and started tapping away.
The whole person is immersed in the inspiration of his own work.
After the boss lady left, Bei Yichen's eyes were all on the person opposite.
Seeing Nan Xixi looking at the landlady warily, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
He leaned over slightly and whispered: "Do you know what you look like?"
Nan Xixi stared at him in confusion and shook her head, "What does it look like?"
Bei Yichen smiled and shook his head. He did not answer her words. He just pushed the dessert in front of her. Then he found a gift bag in her hand, pointed at it and asked, "What is this?"
After he reminded her, Nan Xixi immediately thought of the gift she bought for him.
"Brother Chen, this is my gift to you."
Bei Yichen looked at her doubtfully, stretched out his hand to take the bag, and was about to put it aside.
"Brother Chen, don't you open it and take a look?"
After saying this, Bei Yichen put his hand into the bag and took out the gift box.
When he opened it, he found a messed up Rubik's Cube inside.
He took it in his hand and played with it. From the pattern on it, he could tell what it was. He couldn't help but think, he was really still a child.
Nan Xixi looked at him expectantly, "Brother Chen, will you keep me forever?"
"Yeah." Bei Yichen raised the Rubik's Cube in his hand.
What the innocent-looking Nan Xixi didn't know was that he already knew that all the faces of the Rubik's Cube were photos of the two of them.
Bei Yichen watched her lower her head and eat the dessert with relish.
The movements in his hands did not stop.
After crackling for a while, all the Rubik's cubes in his hands returned to their places.
He held it in his hand and looked at it carefully, only to realize that the photos above were all from previously broadcast programs.
Looking at these, he couldn't help but think that this should be customized, so when did she make it.
Nan Xixi raised her head with a look of surprise on her face. She never expected that he could solve the Rubik's Cube so quickly.
"Brother Chen, can you play the Rubik's Cube?"
"Tilt Cube 0.9."
As soon as Bei Yichen's words came out of his mouth, Nan Xixi couldn't help but open her mouth wide in disbelief.
She thought she knew the man in front of her well enough, but she didn't expect that he actually had this skill.
Before, I heard that he didn't like hands-on things, but I really didn't expect that he would be so good at playing the Rubik's Cube.
Bei Yichen held the restored Rubik's Cube in his palm and showed it in front of her, "Do you still remember the question I just asked you?"
Nan Xixi searched hard in her mind and finally thought, "Well, I remember what you said I looked like, but, Brother Chen, what do I look like?"
"Here."
Bei Yichen pursed his lips at the Rubik's Cube in his hand, "Puppy."
I was originally full of expectations, but I didn't expect to hear such an answer.
I heard Bei Yichen continue to say, "You look like a puppy now, peeing everywhere to occupy the territory."
Only then did she react, snatching the Rubik's Cube from his hand, pouting and lowering her head.
"Who, who occupies the territory? I don't."
However, she did feel a little guilty. That was really what she was thinking. She didn't expect that such a small thought could be seen clearly by him.
The two sat for a while, then stood up and planned to leave.
When I walked to the lobby, I saw the landlady working hard again.
Hearing that they were leaving, the landlady didn't even raise her head, just tapping on her keyboard, "Goodbye, please turn over the sign for me when you get out."
Bei Yichen couldn't help feeling a little envious when he looked at such a landlady.
Being so free-spirited, it must be her own ideal to come to this dessert shop.
How happy it is for a person to be able to do what he likes as a career throughout his life.
Nan Xixi didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing his eyes lingering on the landlady, she couldn't help but feel that what she just ate was not dessert, but lemon.
After reminding her, she took Bei Yichen and left.
After they went out, Bei Yichen turned over the sign on the door and discovered that it was no wonder there had been no customers. It turned out that the proprietress had hung the sign to indicate that she was out on business.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but smile again.
"Brother Chen, you actually turned the cards over for her."
The sourness in Nan Xixi's words spread, how could Bei Yichen not hear it?
But he said nonchalantly, "You think I'm the emperor, and you still flip the cards."
It was over with a smile. He didn't continue talking about this topic and planned to leave.
Nan Xixi walked over and asked cautiously: "Brother Chen, what do you think of the boss lady just now?"
She thought about it for a while, but since no one was following her, she had to ask, otherwise she would feel really uncomfortable.
Furthermore, I am not afraid of the outside world knowing about these things.
