"Mr. Shen, you can call me Feng Qi."

The male servant who led the way introduced himself.

"Oh," Shen Rao didn't care about the other person's name, and said with a pursed lip, "You can call me Xiao Shen."

Feng Qi: “…”

Feng Qi: "Haha, you are so humorous."

Shen Rao: "I don't like to joke."

Feng Qi: “…”

Even more humorous.

Feng Qi didn't dare to really call him "Xiao Shen", so he could only awkwardly quicken his pace to lead the way. However, the journey was a bit long, and the atmosphere was too stiff without talking.

Unable to bear the silence, Feng Qi started to make small talk: "You want to read a book because you feel bored?"

Shen Rao felt that Feng Qi was trying to stir up trouble, and sneered, "Do you think this place is boring?"

Apart from Qi Yan, he really couldn't think of anything interesting here.

Not to mention that there are no mobile phones, no internet, and even no entertainment to kill time. Any modern person would be bored to death.

Just as the two of them walked into the elevator, Feng Qi pressed the second floor button, smiled politely, and made a suggestion.

"If you feel bored, you can tell the young master and she will find a way."

He gave Shen Rao permission to access the internal network to kill time.

After all, there are so many people in Qishan, how is it possible that there is really no entertainment or communication at all?

This is not a prison.

Shen Rao didn't respond. He didn't want to trouble Qi Yan over such a small matter.

and……

He never felt bored when he was with her.

Shen Rao's ears felt hot.

Feng Qi was unaware of Shen Rao's little thoughts and continued to talk incessantly.

"The young master treats you very differently. In fact, you can make more requests or give us as many orders as you want."

At first, they heard that the person who came was a spoiled young master with a history of being a playboy, so most of the people in the North Mansion were reluctant to come.

They all have extraordinary abilities and lofty ambitions, and they are willing to humble themselves because the young master convinces and adores everyone.

But if you serve a willful young master, the feeling will be completely different. However, due to Shen Rao's importance, no one dared to raise any objections.

However, judging from the past few days.

Although Shen Rao had a bad temper and a cold face, and was stubborn and willful and hard to please, he did not make any requests at all and even showed off his cooking skills to everyone the next day.

This surprised everyone. They didn't expect that he could be so easy to serve.

Is he really a rich young man?

How can she be more virtuous than the men raised by her family?

If they had seen Shen Rao before he met Qi Yan, their doubts would be solved. He was not easy to serve. The prince was notoriously delicate and difficult to deal with in the Shen family's old house.

Don’t eat this, don’t eat that, it can’t be eaten if it’s hot, and it can’t be eaten if it’s cold. Even warm food makes you feel sick. There are so many rules, and there are even more things you’re allergic to.

He is the most difficult and picky person to serve in the Shen family.

But even such a delicate young master can eat and handle anything in front of Qi Yan.

He would even give up his life, eat garbage, and sleep under a bridge, for fear that Qi Yan would find him difficult to support and would abandon him.

Love can satisfy one's hunger and satiety, this is what Shen Rao is all about.

After walking through the long corridor, Feng Qi stopped when he arrived at another unfamiliar large building.

"Mr. Shen," Feng Qi said, in front of him was a double-opening wooden door that reached the ceiling, "We are here."

"..."

Shen Rao's heart skipped a beat. As Feng Qi pushed open the door and the scene inside appeared, Shen Rao's heart skipped a beat even more violently.

Ok.

There are mountains here, so it makes sense to have a library at home, right?

A large ancient library with a huge number of books comes into view, with the walnut spiral staircase in the middle and the hollow elevator on the side proving that there is more than one floor of the same size.

"The library in the north is the largest in the entire Qishan Mountain and has the richest collection of books," Feng Qi introduced. "It should have any book you want to read."

"If you don't have any, you can also tell me and apply for it from outside..."

"Feng Qi?"

A female voice suddenly sounded in the empty room.

Hearing the voice, Shen Rao withdrew his gaze from the list of book spines on the bookshelf that was suspected to have been lost to the outside world.

"Wenwen, you're here. Let me introduce you."

Feng Qi pointed at the girl who was lying among a pile of books and had obviously just woken up. "This is Wen Wen, the manager of this library. If you have any books you're looking for, just ask her."

Feng Qi lowered his voice and reminded: "She is quite knowledgeable, and you can ask her questions, but she may not answer."

Shen Rao glanced at the girl with pigtails who was lying on the ground groping for her glasses. Without saying a word, he picked up the round-framed glasses that had rolled at his feet and placed them on the side of her hand that was groping in the opposite direction. He stood up, stepped back a suitable distance and spoke.

"I'm looking for a book about eλλhnik?"

Wen Wen froze when she touched her glasses. She put them on to see the person in front of her clearly and frowned: "Greek? There's no problem finding the book, but——"

She looked past Shen Rao and asked Feng Qi, "Who is he?"

"I forgot to introduce you," Feng Qi hurried over and said, "This is Mr. Shen, the fiancé chosen by the young master."

After hearing his introduction, Shen Rao glanced at him and began to like him more.

"What did you say?!"

Wen Wen was shocked for a second, then she turned around and looked at Shen Rao's face carefully. Half a minute later she said, "No, he relies on..."

Feng Qi was quick to cover her mouth and drag her back: "Mr. Shen, please take a look first, we will come later."

Wen Wen: “Woo woo woo——”

Feng Qi: "Don't move."

"..."

There was no emotion in Shen Rao's eyes. He didn't care much about the people from the Qi family and walked slowly around the library.

Many books he had heard of and had not heard of were placed randomly. Some were very valuable, some were priceless, and some he didn't even know about.

On the other side of the bookshelf.

Feng Qi let go of Wen Wen, looked back and lowered his voice.

"Why do you say everything out loud?"

Wen Wen smoothed her messy pigtails, put up her glasses, and said expressionlessly, "I'm just being candid. Where did he come from? He looks weird and doesn't look like a decent person. How can he be worthy of me..."

"Shh!" Feng Qi raised his index finger, "Don't talk nonsense. The young master likes him very much. Don't say these things in front of him."

"Okay," Wen Wen said without much self-persistence, "I'll quickly find the book for him and let him go. I'm so sleepy. I read the new book I got yesterday all night..."

Feng Qi was a little worried because she was the most eccentric girl in the North. She kept to herself and stayed in the library all day either reading or sleeping.

Feng Qi warned: "You must remember this."

Wen Wen was annoyed: "Stop talking so much. If you don't want to talk, then don't talk. It's none of my business anyway."

Feng Qi: “…”

His temper is still so strange.

At the other end of the library, Shen Rao walked around the extremely long wall of bookshelves and suddenly stopped. His black eyes reflected the scene in front of him.

The entire wall of glazed floor-to-ceiling windows let in most of the light on the first floor. A long desk was placed in the center, and at the innermost part was a wide blackboard several meters high, with several oil-based chalks scattered randomly on the desk.

"This is where the young master used to take classes."

Shen Rao was stunned for a moment, then turned sideways and looked at Wen Wen who appeared yawning.

"What? Aren't you the fiancé chosen by the young master?" Wen Wen waved her hand, pushed the sliding ladder of the bookshelf beside her, and said casually, "You should know that the young master didn't go to school in the secular sense."

"I thought you would want to know about her past. If you don't want to, just pretend I didn't say anything." Wen Wen said casually.

"..."

Shen Rao placed his hands on the back of the cushioned chair opposite the blackboard, his long eyelashes drooping. The texture of the wood and the traces of time under his fingertips were so clear that it seemed like an encounter across time and space.

"Hmm..." Shen Rao opened his lips and murmured softly, "I want to know her better."

"What?" Wen Wen, who was climbing the ladder, stretched out her voice, "What did you say? Speak louder, the people up there can't hear you—"

Shen Rao raised his head and raised his voice: "I want to know her better!"
