Zhao Zhan didn’t go home directly. He went to the bookstore instead.
“Are you here to buy some more books to bring back home for your wife to read?” The shop assistant was already familiar with Zhao Zhan’s face. Seeing this, he hurriedly went up to him. “Your wife is reading the novel too quickly. This new novel hasn’t even been printed out yet. I wonder if your wife likes travelling books? You can buy two copies for her to read.”
“Travel books?” Zhao Zhan’s heart was filled with thoughts, and his voice was a little uneasy. “Help me find a few more books. I want new and interesting ones.”
“Alright,” he said.
While the shop assistant went inside to look for the travel books, Zhao Zhan took the opportunity to look around the outside.
He wanted to find something that was suitable for him to read, but he didn’t know which one was right.
“Sir? What are you…?” The shop assistant observed his expression and revealed a mysterious smile. “Sir, do you want to buy that kind of book?”
Zhao Zhan was taken aback and subconsciously asked, “What kind?”
“It’s the kind of book that can be read as long as you can read a few words. No, even if you can’t read, you can still read it. Men like to secretly buy books like these read. If you want it, I can go inside and get it for you. These are all the collections of our shopkeeper.”
Zhao Zhan was dumbfounded.
Hearing the man babbling on and on, he only caught the words that all men liked to see.
“If it’s the kind you’re talking about. “Zhao Zhan thought that this was the kind he was looking for and nodded. “Help me get a few books. I’ll take them home to read.”
The shop assistant laughed mockingly. He didn’t expect that this guy, who usually looked like a serious and unrefined person, would actually know how to come to the bookstore to buy those kinds of books.
It’s fun. He could understand!
Seeing that he had always left a good impression on him, the shop assistant went inside and rummaged through the books. At the bottom of the book basket, he found a few books that the shopkeeper had kept at the bottom of the box. He wiped the dust off them and carefully wrapped them in oilpaper, then handed them over to Zhao Zhan along with a few travelogue books.
“Sir, it’s all here. It’s a total of eight silver.”
Why was this book more expensive than the one he read on the tip of his heart?
Zhao Zhan was puzzled, but he couldn’t tell whether the travel books or the story books were more expensive. He took out his wallet and paid the silver, then hurried back home.
Yue Jiaojiao had yet to come out, but Chengfeng could already hear Zhao Zhan’s footsteps. He leaned against the courtyard door and scratched at it with his claws.
“Coming, coming,” Li Miao quickly walked over to open the courtyard door. When she saw Zhao Zhan, she asked, “Where did you get your dog from? He’s so smart.”
“Li Miao,” Yue Jiaojiao came out of the room with a smile and hugged Chengfeng, who was clinging to Zhao Zhan’s leg. “Chengfeng was saved by Zhao Zhan. If your family wants to raise a dog, you can ask Zhao Zhan and Dashan to go and pick one up. He can tell the temper of a dog.”
“Jiaojiao is right. When the time comes, I’ll ask Dashan to take note of who has puppies. I’ll go with him to carry them.”
“That’s great. When the house is built, I’ll get Dashan to bring one home. It’s getting late. I’ll hurry back.”
Yue Jiaojiao and Zhao Zhan sent Li Miao out the door.
“Zhao Zhan, what’s that stuff in your arms?” Yue Jiaojiao looked at Zhao Zhan’s chest curiously and subconsciously reached out to him. “Did you buy me a new storybook again?”
Zhao Zhan had a guilty conscience and covered his chest uncomfortably. “It’s not a story. The staff at the bookstore said that the new story hasn’t arrived yet, so I bought you a few travel books.”
As he spoke, he quickly walked into the room. “I’ll put them in the room first.”
