Yanzi Valley of Jingcheng

Chapter 113 Let's go first

On the way back, Xiao Jie thought about the future of Baihe Bookstore while driving.

If it wasn't for the casual encounter that night, Xiao Jie probably would never have entered this bookstore in his life.

As a consumer, as long as the price is cheap, the source of the book is legal, and the purchase steps are simple, he, Xiao Jie, will naturally choose to buy books online, not to mention that he can often buy some unpopular books that are not so popular online. It is unmatched by physical bookstores.

So since buying books online is so convenient, what is the significance of the existence of physical bookstores?
The reason why Xiao Jie thinks about this problem is firstly because of his professional habits, and secondly because he is afraid that one day Baihe Bookstore, like other chain bookstores, will suddenly disappear forever in this world.

Although people are driving, Xiao Jie's thoughts have drifted back to the space that seems to be able to slow down time.

In that space, Xiao Jie has a huge selection of books in front of him, and the reading experience is also immersive.

If he accidentally takes a book from the shelf, opens the cover and starts to read, falls into the text, and finally buys the book home because of his favorite, it will be an unexpected surprise and harvest.

The whole process was very similar to the encounter between Xiao Jie and Shu Qian. There was no strong purpose, let alone the rationality in the plan. Buying a book that was fancy at the moment was just like Xiao Jie thinking about it without any expectations. It's like eating a bento made by Shu Qian herself.

This feeling is heartbeat, satisfaction, and endless aftertaste afterwards.

People need such a feeling, because such a feeling can enrich the color of life.

In this sense, Xiao Jie believes that physical bookstores will not disappear. A good bookstore is good at giving readers exciting moments one after another, and maximizing readers' irrationality when buying books.

It is precisely these irrationality that can broaden people's cognitive boundaries. It seems that Xiao Jie, who has no idea of ​​love, is not so repulsive to his mother Xiao Qianxing's urging marriage after meeting Shu Qian.

Xiao Jie's happiness threshold was originally high, but the appearance of Shu Qian made this threshold drop rapidly.

How low is it?

It is so low that Shu Qian does not need to give him a hand-woven scarf by Christmas candlelight, nor does she need to cook steaming meals for him every day, she just does her own thing quietly in a quiet study room, wearing a light yellow Seeing Xiao Jie coming and smiling at him, this is the best time for Xiao Jie.

Just when Xiao Jie thought of this, he turned the key and opened the door of the house.

"Ouch! Why did you just come back! Ms. Guan has been waiting for you for a long time!"

Aunt Xiao's reproach came from the living room, Xiao Jie not only saw his mother Xiao Qianxing, but also Guan Sha in a goose yellow dress.

Guan Sha's goose-yellow dress has suspenders, and the color is gentle and bright.

The goose yellow has the warmth of spring recovery. Although the skirt is longer than the knees, the skirt is elegant and flexible. The waist design outlines Guan Sha's graceful figure. Coupled with her beautiful long curly hair, she is full of fairy Airy yet elegant.

This dress is exactly the one that Xiao Jie sketched in his mind just now, is there such a coincidence in the world?

"It's finally time for you!" Guan Sha gave Xiao Jie a ghostly smile, the slyness in her eyes instantly wiped out the fairy aura that was set off by this dress.

"Brother! Sister is so beautiful!" Xiao Lie poked his head out and stuck out his tongue at Xiao Jie.

"Your brother's cooking is so delicious, I'm stuffed!" Guan Sha smiled, and went forward to get Xiao Jie's slippers like Aunt Xiao did for her, looking like a young hostess.

Today is Sunday, Aunt Xiao will come to live with Xiao Jie for two days every weekend, and she will also invite her youngest son Xiao Lie to stay with her. Of course, Xiao Lie's main function is to cook for Aunt Xiao.

Xiao Jie looked at Guan Sha in a daze: "How do you know about my family..."

But before Guan Sha could answer, Xiao Jie had already realized: that kid Ren Tianxing must have sold him...

Guan Sha smiled without saying a word, bent down and handed the slippers in front of Xiao Jie, she warned herself tonight that she must have a good attitude, after all, she came to beg others for money.

"Oh, look at you! How polite! It doesn't matter if my son wears shoes or not!" Aunt Xiao scolded Xiao Jie while pulling Guan Sha back, "My son knows how to work overtime all day long! He usually works overtime and weekends ! All his heart is on his work! He is more concerned about the company's affairs than anyone else!"

There were three cups of Zhi Zhi Berry on the table. Aunt Xiao asked Guan Sha to sit down and pointed to Xiao Jie, "He is very simple. He works when he wakes up, sleeps after work, and continues to work after he wakes up."

Guan Sha listened to Aunt Xiao boasting about her son in disguise, turned her head and smiled at Xiao Jie, and took another sip of Zhizhiberry by the way.

Seeing this, Aunt Xiao immediately came to Xiao Jie happily, "Oh, what a coincidence, your friend has the same hobbies as Mom, and also likes berries. I said some milk tea, and she said I want this, and there are also some Yes, she also lives in Yanzi Valley! She also lives in Building 3! Fate!"

"Hmm." Xiao Jie's smile was a bit stiff, out of politeness, he put down his bag and had no choice but to bite the bullet and sit down at the dining table.

"Oh girl, if it weren't for the too many people and the high buildings in Yanzi Valley, we would have met each other countless times! Xiao Jie's third aunt lives there, as well as his little cousin and my little niece!"

Aunt Xiao thinks Guan Sha likes it, but she suddenly realized something with her sensitive nerves, so she hurriedly said to Xiao Jie, "Well... it's getting late, I have to go to your third aunt's place if there are three missing ones." Xiao Auntie winked at Xiao Lie, "Xiao Nuo, you still have class on Monday, you have to go back to the dormitory quickly!"

Xiao Lie was about to nod his head when Xiao Jie frowned, "I've seen your schedule, there are no classes on Monday."

"Uh... yes..." Xiao Lie didn't dare to offend his mother, and he didn't want to disturb his brother's "date", so he started talking nonsense, "Tuesday's political and economics teacher is going to Hangzhou for a meeting, so it's temporarily changed to Monday, 8:30 a.m. [-], I really have to go back, otherwise there will be no subway..."

"It's okay, I'll see you off later." Xiao Jie said.

"No, no, no!" Xiao Lie hurriedly waved his hand, "I...then our school's gate is closed beyond 11 o'clock, and cars can't get in." As he said this, Aunt Xiao grabbed his arm, and Aunt Xiao pushed Xiao Lie towards the door. Dragging aside and waving, "We'll be leaving early! Miss Guan is very glad to meet you! See you in Yanzi Valley!"

In the end, Xiao Lie didn't even put on his shoes completely when he heard Aunt Xiao forcefully "bang", suddenly only Xiao Jie and Guan Sha were left in the whole room. —————————————
