Because of the translation work this afternoon, Tia's copying speed slowed down a lot, and she still had some left to do by dinner time.

"Tia, come and eat something first!" The old man invited people to come and eat, "You should stay for dinner today too!"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, rubbed his hands, and said, "Hey!"

Tia washed her hands and sat at the table waiting for the old man obediently, then she saw the middle-aged man suddenly stand up and go wash his hands.

The old man was about to start eating when he saw this scene and frowned. He put the cutlery back on the table and said, "How impatient!"

The middle-aged man went in and out quickly, wiped his hands and sat down, and saw the old man's dissatisfied expression, and lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Grandpa, I'm hungry. Let's eat first!" Tia took the initiative to speak, easing the atmosphere around them.

"Okay, okay! We can't let our Tia starve!" The old man turned his head to look at Tia, and naturally put away his dissatisfied expression.

The old man picked up his cutlery and started eating. Only then did everyone start eating.

The middle-aged man looked at him like an outsider, eating silently with his head down, not daring to say a word.

"Uncle, I've seen you so many times, and you've brought me food for so long, but I still don't know your name?"

Tia asked casually, and Yueguang kept looking at the old man beside her.

"Me? My name is Atu Pat." Atu didn't expect Tia to take the initiative to talk to him, and he was a little flustered for a moment.

Tia clearly noticed that the old man looked at Artu with a bit of disappointment, and Artu was also obviously keeping an eye on the old man out of the corner of his eye.

From this point of view, Uncle Atu should be a person with social anxiety. He originally thought that librarians do not need to interact with people, so he wanted to take over the job from the old man.

However, due to his social anxiety, Uncle Atu was unable to communicate well with the old man. He also felt that the old man was his examiner and was even more afraid to communicate with him, so he appeared particularly timid.

"It turns out to be Uncle Atu. Why does Uncle Atu want to take over this job?"

"It's quiet here and I can handle my work by myself. I really like working alone."

Perhaps it was because Tia's harmless appearance as a child gave her an innate advantage, so Artu was able to answer it.

"Is that so? But when I was copying books here, why didn't I see you come over to copy books?"

Artu subconsciously turned his head to look at the old man, then closed his mouth again.

"If I hadn't been watching him all day long, I don't know how many places he would have copied a book into!" said the old man unhappily.

"Grandpa, you are biased. You only watch him copying and not me. You accompany him but not me! It's not fair!" Tia said coquettishly.

"You won't make any mistakes in copying, so naturally I will keep an eye on the other person who will make mistakes." The old man said this with a tone of disappointment in his voice.

Artu, who had been able to concentrate on eating, completely put down his cutlery and almost lowered his head under the table.

"No! Grandpa, can you accompany me for a day tomorrow? Let him copy it by himself tomorrow! There won't be many problems in just one day." Tia got off the chair, ran to pull the old man's sleeve, pouting and blinking her eyes to act coquettishly at the old man, "Grandpa, can't be partial, okay?"

The master sighed helplessly. He didn't expect that Tia, who had always been sensible and obedient, would suddenly act like this.

"Okay, he can't cause much trouble in just one day."

"Grandpa still loves me!" Tia smirked as she returned to her chair, then raised her chin towards Uncle Atu in protest, "Tomorrow I'll take Grandpa away, and you'll have to study hard even if you're alone!"

Although the old man felt that what Tia said was a bit rude, he didn't say anything more when he thought about how he got angry every time he saw Atu copying books.

"If you want to do something, do it well. You are not young anymore but still so impetuous. Okay, let's eat!" The old man was furious when he saw Atu pretending to be a quail.

Although Atu was scolded, he was in a good mood because he finally wouldn't have to be watched while copying books tomorrow.

Although the old man was doing it for his own good, he still felt nervous, like someone taking an exam in college with the invigilator standing by and watching him while he was doing the test.

After all, after spending some time with Artu, the old man saw Artu come in inexplicably happy, and he was worried that he had scolded him too harshly, causing him to become mentally abnormal.

After dinner, Tia finished copying the books she hadn't copied, handed them to the old man, and opened the library.

She has been busy with various things in recent days and her training has fallen behind. Although she did not plan to take first place in the individual competition, she also did not want to get a bad ranking.

When Tia was walking solemnly towards the dormitory, a tall figure suddenly appeared on the road, scaring her so much that she turned around and tried to run.

"and many more!"

Tia was still a little alert when she heard the familiar voice. She began to gather magic power in her hands and slowly approached the black shadow.

As a result, when I saw the tall figure walking into the street light, I found out that it was Uncle Atu.

"Uncle Atu, why are you so scary so late at night?"

"I'm sorry, I was just trying not to be seen standing in the middle of the road, so I stood under the tree. I didn't expect to scare you."

Uncle Atu felt a little embarrassed and lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Think about it from another perspective. We didn't run into any bad guys today, did we? But why are you waiting for me here? I was just copying a book, but it's been almost half an hour. Didn't you leave half an hour ago?"

Tia wanted to go back to practice in a hurry, so she didn't continue chatting with the old man after dinner today. However, even though he had increased his speed, it still took him at least half an hour to copy.

"Thank you for what happened today. I know you didn't mean to embarrass me."

"Don't overthink it. I just want to stay with Grandpa for a while longer. After all, I don't know how much longer Grandpa can stay in this position."

Tia said this and sighed helplessly.

"Don't sigh, kid. Let the adults worry about this matter." Artu thought that it was Tia who helped him just now, but Tia's words and actions indicated that he didn't mean it that way, and maybe it was just an unintentional act.

He didn't know what to say, so he could only change the subject, "Is there anything you like?"

"Why do you ask this suddenly?" Tia thought for a moment, "I like sweets, but my brother doesn't allow me to eat too much because he's worried about my teeth."

"Okay, whether you meant it or not, thank you anyway. I'm leaving now."
