Chapter 20 It’s all a show
Xu Zhe was very satisfied with what he had gained in the bookstore today.

When I was a kid, I only knew that this bookstore had comics, mystery novels, and science fiction novels. But now after really searching, I discovered that there are also many professional books.Especially the computer books, after a lot of careful selection, I really found what I needed.

In his previous life, Xu Zhe was just an ordinary outsourced programmer. His technical skills were enough to allow him to live a leisurely life at home, but that was all.

Of course, in this life, he was not willing to just reach the point where he had no worries about food and clothing.Since we have the advantage of foresight, we naturally have to take advantage of it.And this requires stronger and more comprehensive capabilities.

So he selected an algorithm book, a hardware book, two computer language books, and two mathematics books.

The little boy, who is about 1.5 meters tall, looks a little funny holding such a thick stack of books.

When he walked to the cashier, the clerk couldn't help but ask: "Are you sure you want to buy these?"

"Yes."

"Introduction to Algorithms, C++ Language, kids, you..."

"Any questions?" Xu Zhe took out three hundred-dollar bills from his pocket.

The clerk hesitated to speak, scanned the barcode for him, and took the payment.

After paying the money, Xu Zhe packed the books into the storage box, and then went to the comics section to find Tang Lingfei.He glanced at the clock hanging on the wall. It was almost noon, and it was time to eat.

However, there were a group of children of the same age or even younger in the comics section, but Tang Lingfei was not there.

Xu Zhe can only go to the youth literature area.

As a result, they saw Tang Lingfei and Song Xingye sitting side by side reading the same book.

The two girls are reading a magazine now, and the color and style of the cover is that of youth and romantic literature.Xu Zhe wanted to go over and see what words made them so focused on it, but then he thought about it.

Perhaps it was the psychological shadow of his previous life, but he still resisted getting too close to others, especially the opposite sex.

Xu Zhe stood in front of them and said in a low voice: "You two are quite clever. There are so few seats in the bookstore, so you guys can occupy them. Tang Lingfei, have you been led to have the same interests and hobbies by classmate Song Xingye?"

Song Xingye looked up at him, feeling a little embarrassed.

Tang Lingfei blinked and gave a meaningful look - the meaning in that little look was clearly, 'You asked me to be friends with her.'

So Xu Zhe stopped teasing them and asked, "It's time for lunch later. What do you want to eat?"

Tang Lingfei: "Can we order whatever we want?"

Xu Zhe: "It would be shameless to order something expensive on purpose."

Song Xingye whispered: "Otherwise I'll treat you..."

Tang Lingfei shook her head vigorously: "We are not adults, so don't pretend like Xu Zhe. Just go home to eat, and then come out after eating."

Xu Zhe: "Then when will we leave?"

Tang Lingfei: "We'll see the ending in a while. Just wait for us."

Song Xingye also nodded at this time: "Well, give us another 10 minutes, and we will definitely be able to finish it."

"Then take your time and watch, I'll go out and buy some water."

Xu Zhe turned around and walked out.

After browsing in the bookstore all morning, he was indeed thirsty.There is a canteen behind the bookstore where you can buy some mineral water.

However, as soon as he walked out of the bookstore and before reaching the canteen, he met three high school students who looked to be over 1.7 meters tall.Two of them were squatting by the wall, and one was standing supporting the wall.The three of them all had cigarettes in their mouths, and they just had to write the words "I am a bad boy" on their faces.

When Xu Zhe walked past them, he caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye that the three of them were staring at him, and they seemed to be exchanging glances with each other.He realized that he might be robbed by high school students.

The canteen is located in the community, not next to the main road in front of the school.Although he ran a short distance to the outside, if these high school students were determined to rob him, they would obviously not let him run away casually.

But Xu Zhe still remained calm.

In his previous life, he was bullied by similar delinquents and was robbed several times.Quasimodo, a loner, is easily bullied at first glance.He still remembered how frightened and overwhelmed he was when he encountered a similar dilemma.

But it's different now.

From an adult's perspective, Xu Zhe knew that the high school gangsters in his school were bullies and fearful of the tough, and there was actually nothing to be afraid of.

Of course, he didn't intend to fight hard with the high school students. There was still a big difference in size and strength.

Xu Zhe walked straight into the canteen and asked, "Uncle, can you make a phone call here?"

The owner of the canteen pointed at the landline phone on the counter: "It costs one yuan a time, plus fifty cents after one minute."

Xu Zhe picked up the phone.

At this moment, the three high school students also came in.They wanted to buy cigarettes as soon as they opened their mouth.

After buying cigarettes, the three people turned around and left the store, but did not go far.They stood outside the store, listening to what was going on inside.

And Xu Zhe's voice on the phone was not quiet, making sure that they could hear:
"No dad, I'm just going to the bookstore to read, don't worry... Oh, I know, I know, I can do my homework! What? You're right in front of the bookstore? No, why are you here!"

At this point, Xu Zhe vaguely heard someone outside say an uncivilized phrase starting with C.

But he didn't stop and was still talking to the phone:
"I'm... oh, it's the small shop behind the bookstore. I'm... ok, ok, in front of the bookstore, right? I'll come right over. You don't need to catch me, no need!"

Xu Zhe hung up the phone and handed the shop owner one yuan.

The boss took the money and took a look at the display on the landline. He was slightly surprised - there was no call record on it, which meant that the little boy had been talking to the phone for a long time and had not made any calls at all!
Then the boy blinked and pointed outside again.

"Oh..." The boss understood immediately and couldn't help laughing.

Xu Zhe turned around and went out, and saw the three high school students squatting by the wall smoking again.They just glanced at themselves and did not stop themselves.

Xu Zhe, on the other hand, acted aggrieved and quickly walked out of the corner to the door of the bookstore where people were coming and going.

This is considered safe.

Xu Zhe breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, Tang Lingfei and Song Xingye walked out side by side.

Seeing that his hands were empty, Tang Lingfei asked, "Where is the water you bought?"

Xu Zhe shook his head: "Forgot."

Tang Lingfei: "Can you forget this?"

"I almost got robbed just now..." Seeing the expressions of the two girls froze, Xu Zhe whispered, "I'll go get the bag I saved first, and then leave from the side with more people."

Song Xingye's little face was full of nervousness: "I have a mobile phone, do you want to call the police?"

Xu Zhe smiled and said: "It is not impossible to call the police for high school student robbery, but it is difficult to solve the problem. It takes time to call the police, and several gangsters are minors, and the amount is small. Even if they are caught, it will not mean much. .Listen to me and avoid them first."
