"Here you go. See you next time. I'm leaving now."

Jiang Wan put the book in his arms and then ran away.

After a while, when he saw that the person's figure had completely disappeared from his sight, Chen Jiashu lowered his head and slowly opened the book in his hand. There was a fifty-yuan note inside.

Chen Jiashu pursed his lips, thinking of the girl who had just left, took the money and put it in his pocket.

Then I continued to open the book, and the first sentence was: "Life is full of suffering."

He laughed at himself and slowly closed the book.

On the other side of the community, a man and a cat were lying on the sofa watching a variety show, with snacks they bought on the way back on the table.

Qibao finished eating the potato chips Jiang Wan handed over and licked the corner of his mouth. (Host, why did you leave just now? Why didn't you continue to cultivate your relationship with the male lead?)

Jiang Wan rolled her eyes at him. (What do you know? Just showing off your presence every day is fine. You know how love grows over time?)

Qibao shook his head to indicate that he didn't know. He naturally couldn't sense emotions.

(In the early stage, we played the role of the ignorant and resolute little sun, which is most suitable for the male protagonist who has a gloomy temperament)

Qibao: (The host is really amazing)

Qibao didn't understand what he said, but to show encouragement, he raised his cat paw to express his approval.

Just then the old lady came over and said, "Xiao Wan, eat less snacks. Grandma will make you something nutritious."

"Okay grandma."

Jiang Wan quickly put the snacks into the drawer, put on her slippers and went to the kitchen to help.

Qibao licked the remaining taste on his palm, jumped off the sofa, and followed him into the kitchen, rubbing against Jiang Wan's feet.

(Host, can you ask grandma to feed me less? I really can’t eat anymore!)

Jiang Wan: (Weren’t you enjoying your snacks just now?)

Qibao bit Jiang Wan's trouser leg. (How can this be the same?! You don't know that grandma feeds me lard rice every day. I almost vomited!)

Jiang Wan: ...(Why didn’t you say so earlier)

Qibao: (I forgot.)

Jiang Wan knew that the old lady would feed Qibao specially after dinner every day, but she didn't expect that she didn't feed him special cat food.

I can't help but shudder when I think of rice with lard.

The old lady was washing dishes when she saw Qibao coming into the kitchen. She laughed and said, "Xiao Wan, Qibao must be hungry. Hurry up and make dinner so I can feed him."

Qibao: (Host, save me!)

Jiang Wan curled the corners of her mouth, squatted down, picked up Qibao, and put it outside.

It does feel a bit heavier. No wonder they say that the pets raised by the elderly are always one size bigger. It turns out that this is how you feed them.

Indeed, in the eyes of the old lady’s generation, cats and dogs follow their owners to eat.

"Grandma, Qibao is still young and it's not suitable for him to eat too much rice. I just fed him some cat food."

"Is that so..." After hearing what her granddaughter said, the old lady nodded to show that she understood, and only sighed that cats nowadays are not like before.

Qibao also escaped from the days of eating rice with lard.

The next morning, Jiang Wan walked on the street with sleepy eyes. She rubbed her eyes and yawned, as if she had not fully woken up from last night's sleep.

"Qibao, does it have to be so early?" She complained in a low voice, with a hint of sleepiness and dissatisfaction in her voice.

Qibao was already accustomed to his host's habit of staying in bed, but he still answered firmly: (Yes, the male protagonist will go to the restaurant part-time in the afternoon, so he only has enough time in the morning)

Jiang Wan sighed helplessly, she forced herself to cheer up and continued walking forward.

Chen Jiashu had just finished wiping the table and looked up to see Jiang Wan walking up the stairs.

"Good morning." Jiang Wan waved to them.

Chen Jiashu nodded and continued with his own work.

Seeing that everyone was busy, Jiang Wan did not disturb them. She found a book and sat by the window to read quietly.

As time passed, the sky outside the window was no longer as gray as it was yesterday.

After Chen Jiashu finished his work, he raised his head and his eyes inadvertently swept over, and he saw this scene.

The girl sat by the window, reading a book with her face supported by her hands. The breeze blew by, gently lifting her hair.

However, at this moment, she suddenly rubbed her nose, raised her hand to cover her mouth, yawned softly, and her eyes were instantly covered with a layer of mist.

Chen Jiashu frowned slightly. He didn't know why, but since the first time he saw the girl, a strange feeling had surged in his heart.

He tried to understand the feeling, but he had no idea where to start.

"Are you done?"

Jiang Wan suddenly raised her head and saw Chen Jiashu standing there in a daze.

"Yeah." Chen Jiashu hummed lightly.

Seeing the book in his hand, Jiang Wan asked, "Want to read together?"

Chen Jiashu didn't say much. He walked to the empty seat opposite Jiang Wan and sat down, putting the book on the table and reading.

This was the first time he sat in a seat inside and read a book.

Because there are several students working part-time in the store, the manager also said that they can sit inside and study when it is not busy.

But Chen Jiashu never did that. When he was free, he would always read alone in the back row, leaning against the bookshelf.

He just wanted to make sense of that strange feeling.

However, after Chen Jiashu sat down, Jiang Wan used a book to block her view and occasionally raised her head to secretly observe the person opposite her.

Apart from anything else, just looking at this face is pleasing to the eye.

Chen Jiashu was aware of Jiang Wan's little movements. Although he was not used to it, he did not say much and continued to read the book in his hand.

For a while, the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

An hour passed like this.

A girl who was also wearing an apron and a ponytail came over.

Seeing someone coming, Jiang Wan looked over there and knew who this person was.

Chen Meng - also works part-time at the bookstore, and happens to be in the same class as Chen Jiashu. She has been secretly in love with the male protagonist since the beginning of the school year, and later she will use tricks to get into trouble with him.

When Chen Meng came up, she saw Chen Jiashu sitting opposite a girl reading a book, and was a little surprised for a moment.

As I approached and saw the girl's face, I felt a sense of crisis: Who is this girl? Why is she sitting with Chen Jiashu? What is their relationship?

She was in the same class as him and even worked part-time in the same bookstore, but she didn't get to say many words to him. However, it was much better than others.

Thinking of this, Chen Meng craned his neck as he approached, pretending to be familiar with the man and said, "Chen Jiashu, what are you watching today?"

So what if she's beautiful?

Someone like Chen Jiashu will definitely have no shortage of suitors in school, including her.

Including when he first came to the bookstore, many girls often came to see him.

There are also many good-looking girls among them.

It’s just that Chen Jiashu has always kept a distance from the opposite sex in school and has explicitly rejected many people. In addition, he has a cold personality, so there are fewer girls around him.

She didn't think the girl in front of her would be an exception.

Chen Jiashu raised his head and looked at Chen Meng with a puzzled look without saying a word. He remembered that he was not familiar with her and had never even exchanged a few words with her.

Chen Meng's smile froze for a moment. She hadn't expected him to be so disrespectful. Thinking about the purpose of her visit, she spoke, "A few boxes of books just arrived downstairs, and the store manager asked us to sort them out. If you're busy, I can go downstairs and tell them."
