Chapter 16 Xiao Xiao's Letter, Navia's Excessive Enthusiasm

The evening sunlight streamed through the windows, casting warm patches of light on the floor of the Rose Society headquarters in Baisong Town.

Navia dragged her weary body back to the place she considered home. Her steps were heavy, and her eyes revealed the exhaustion of the day.

Her heart was filled with anxiety and unease. In the past few days, she and the elite members of the Thorn Rose Society had been running around and even mobilized other underlings to try to find the mysterious writer 'Xiao Xiao', but to no avail.

She couldn't help but feel frustrated, wondering if all their efforts would be in vain.

However, at that moment, Myles' voice suddenly rang out in the quiet hall, breaking Navia's weariness.

“Young Miss, here is a letter. The name on it is ‘Xiao Xiao’!” His voice carried a hint of excitement and uncertainty.

Navia's heart skipped a beat, and all her fatigue seemed to vanish.

She rushed to the mailbox, took the envelope from Miles's hand, her heart pounding and her hands trembling slightly.

She carefully examined the signature on the envelope, and the familiar handwriting stirred a surge of excitement within her.

After several days of searching, even Navia, who doesn't read much, has memorized Xiao Xiao's handwriting.

"There's no mistake, this is the letter written by the mysterious author Xiao Xiao!" Navia was filled with anticipation and excitement.

Instead of opening the letter immediately, she took Miles and Silver to Luo Xiao's residence.

Because Luo Xiao's health had deteriorated two and a half months ago, Navia made a copy of Luo Xiao's room key under the pretext that she could enter the room at any time to take care of him and prevent any accidents from happening to him.

Navia first asked Miles Silver to wait outside the door, while she took out her key and opened the door to Luo Xiao's room.

Her heart was filled with anticipation; this letter might provide them with important clues, perhaps even the key to unraveling the entire mystery.

"Luo Xiao! Good news! The author sent us a letter, and it's quite thick! Come and take a look!" Navia's voice was full of excitement and anticipation.

Luo Xiao had just woken up from her afternoon nap and was still a little groggy.

He was taken aback by Navia's enthusiastic bear hug, then quickly replied, "Na... Navia, I... um, I understand, let's see what's written inside..."

Luo Xiao's voice was somewhat choked. He struggled in Navia's arms, afraid that he would be suffocated by Navia's breasts again, and quickly said in her arms.

He knew perfectly well what was written in the letter, but he still had to put on an act.

"You two come in too, let's see what the author sent us."

After seeing that Luo Xiao's mental state had recovered well, Navia called out loudly towards the door.

Myles and Silver then entered the room one after the other, and the four of them sat together on chairs in the room, with a round table in the middle.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Navia carefully opened the envelope, pulling out sheets of paper covered with dense writing.

Navia's eyes were fixed on the papers. They knew that every word, every line, could be the key to the truth.

Navia's heart raced as she gently turned each page, scrutinizing every word.

Her eyes darted across the paper, trying to find clues in the words.

Myles and Silver sat quietly to the side, especially Myles, whose eyes were focused and deep, as if he was thinking about something.

Navia's fingers trembled as she turned the heavy letter page by page. The atmosphere in the room was tense yet expectant. The other two members of the Rose Society watched Navia nervously, their eyes filled with curiosity and unease.

At first, Navia's expression was full of anticipation, but as she read, her brows gradually furrowed, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and finally, shock.

The letter contained the original manuscript of "The Three-Body Problem," and the word count was quite substantial, seemingly enough to meet the word count requirements of the next issue or even the issue after that.

But what surprised Navia even more was that a letter written by Xiao Xiao himself was attached to the end of the manuscript.

Navia's voice trembled slightly as she began to read the contents of the letter.

In his letter, Xiao Xiao expressed his admiration for the members of the Thorn Rose Society for their perseverance and praised their tenacity in searching for him over the past few days. He also explained in the letter that there was a reason why he did not reveal his identity.

After reading Xiao Xiao's letter, Navia frowned, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her.

Her gaze swept over everyone in the room, as if searching for answers. Her heart was filled with doubt and confusion, but even more so with a firm determination.

Suddenly, as if she had made a major decision, Navia clenched her fist and said firmly to the other three:

"No! We promised Ou Fu that even if Xiao Xiao has a reason for not revealing his identity, we must at least find him and ask him directly to find out the reason. Only then can we give Ou Fu an explanation!"

Upon hearing Navia's words, Luo Xiao, who had thought Navia would give up, paused for a moment, feeling a pang of bitterness in his heart.

I went to such great lengths to write a letter to this young lady, but she still insisted on her own way.

"Sigh... This young lady is good in every way, except that she is sometimes too kind."

Luo Xiao sighed inwardly. Logically speaking, Ou Fu's request was to find Xiao Xiao and have her submit the manuscript.

The manuscript has been collected, but Miss Navia still insists on finding Xiaoxiao before she will give up.

A hint of helplessness flashed in Luo Xiao's eyes. He knew that it seemed he would have to continue playing the detective game with Navia.

He sighed softly, but in his heart he also felt admiration for Navia's perseverance and integrity.

Then, Luo Xiao pointed to a large stack of typed manuscripts on the table, her voice tinged with helplessness: "Um... Navia, shouldn't we send the manuscripts to Steambird Newspaper first, since it's such an urgent matter?"

Luo Xiao was afraid that Navia was so enthusiastic that she would forget to send the manuscript, so he quickly reminded her.

“Uh… alright, but instead of continuing to look for this author, let’s send the manuscript of the novel to Steambird Newspaper first. That way, we can at least give Ou Fu an explanation.” Her words revealed a kind of persistence that she was unwilling to give up. Even if she had regrets in her heart, she would do her best to complete the task.

Upon hearing the young lady's words, Miles and Silver acted quickly. Together, they carefully put the manuscript on the table into an envelope, and then headed towards the Steambird Newspaper Office.

Two and a half hours later, the group arrived at the Fontainebleau Steambird Newspaper from Baisong Town, went straight to the editor-in-chief's office, and found Ou Fu, who was about to leave work.

Upon seeing Navia, Ofo's face lit up with excitement, clearly believing that she had found 'Xiao Xiao'.

But the next moment, the envelope that Navia handed over made Ofu's emotions fluctuate. She took the envelope, her eyes flashing with expectation and doubt.
