129 Yang Chen had just spoken on the phone, and he didn't pay attention to where Wang Ma went, shook his head, and asked, "What are you looking for Wang Ma for?"

Lin Ruoxi frowned, biting her lip and not speaking, as if she was thinking about something.

At this moment, Wang's mother's voice came from the second floor, "Miss, what's the matter?"

Yang Chen and Lin Ruoxi looked up together, and they were a little dumbfounded.

I saw that Wang Ma was wearing a white nightgown at the moment, standing by the railing on the second floor, her hair was scattered, and a layer of white mask was applied to her face, and she was actually doing female self-maintenance by herself.

Lin Ruoxi's eyes turned red, and she said a little angrily: "When did you start making facial masks, and have you forgotten what day it is?"

While giving a small massage to her face, Wang Ma thought about it, "Oh, Miss, you see that Wang Ma is getting older, and my memory is really getting worse and worse, I forgot what you said." ”

Yang Chen saw the white face of Wang Ma, a little fresh, no wonder Wang Ma is in her fifties, and she is still like a woman in her forties, so she also does these nursing jobs on weekdays. But when you think about it, when you take care of such a big home alone, when you are not busy during the day, you don't have anything else to do except take care of yourself.

"Then Wang Ma, hurry up, I'll wait for you. Lin Ruoxi said helplessly, sullen, just like a little girl who was deceived by her elders.

Yang Chen felt strange, what did he have to wait for Wang Ma to do together?

Without waiting for Yang Chen to ask, Wang's mother said: "Miss, don't wait for me, there used to be only two of us women's family, now that Miss is married to her uncle, of course let your uncle accompany Miss to buy books in the book city, I still have a lot of nursing care to do today, Miss, you can go with your uncle." ”

"Don't!" Lin Ruoxi immediately said vigilantly: "I'm going to be with Wang Ma." ”

Wang Ma walked down the stairs with a smile, her hands still rubbing her face, "Miss, I'm also old, I can't always accompany you, and you and your husband and wife will have to live together in the future." I accompanied the young lady to the book store to buy books, but I couldn't help much, at most I helped carry two bags of books. My uncle is different, they are all young people, and they can always say something and exchange some opinions. Besides, when you go out at night, it's always good to have a man by your side, and I can rest assured that my uncle protects you. ”

Yang Chen suddenly felt that this woman was going to the book city to buy books, although they didn't get along for a long time, but they also roughly understood that Lin Ruoxi seemed to like books very much, and the last time she saw a dazzling array of storage like a small library in her study, and when she was in the hospital, she also had to send a large number of books to read every week.

What I didn't expect was that this female president, who had a cold temperament and was not close to anyone, went to the book city to buy books, and she had to be accompanied by Wang's mother, just like a little girl asked her mother to accompany her to buy books.

Lin Ruoxi was speechless, what Wang Ma said was reasonable, although she felt very awkward in her heart, but she didn't know why, she had some inexplicable hope for Wang Ma's proposal.

Wang's mother smiled slightly, and said to Yang Chen: "Uncle, Miss has no friends since she was a child, she likes to read books alone, and basically goes to Zhonghai's book city every month to go around and buy a lot of books. In the past, when the old lady and the lady were there, they would accompany the young lady, but now that they have left, the old woman is left to accompany the young lady. Miss will be very unaccustomed to being alone. Now that my uncle is here, I can retire successfully. ”

After speaking, Wang Ma gave Yang Chen an "encouraged" look, and walked back upstairs slowly.

Lin Ruoxi's little caution was said by Wang Ma, and she felt very uncomfortable in front of Yang Chen, but fortunately, her expression was always very cold, so she couldn't see the embarrassment.

Yang Chen knew that she was thin-skinned, so he didn't continue to ask anything, and said, "Let's go, it's not safe to be alone at night, I'll go with you." ”

"Do you know where Zhonghai Book City is?" Lin Ruoxi asked.

"I don't know, just tell me the way. Yang Chen said.

Lin Ruoxi shook his head slightly, "I'll drive." ”

"Is this important?" Yang Chen wondered.

Lin Ruoxi nodded solemnly and said with a serious face: "It's very important, I don't want to die in a car accident to buy books." ”

“……”

More than half an hour later, sitting in a black Mercedes-Benz SLK driven by Lin Ruoxi from the garage, the two came to Zhonghai Book City.

The entire book city occupies a building with more than 20 floors, and books from all walks of life can be found here. The surrounding neon signs are particularly rare in this area, and the traffic is relatively sparse, but there is a lot of people outside the book city in the past.

Although material life has become incomparably abundant in this era, the miraculous invention of books has never been eliminated. Many scientists claim that traditional books will be obsolete by tools such as e-books, and paper will be submerged in the long river of history. But in fact, books have an irreplaceable position, and the only few human inventions that have not been eliminated from ancient times to the present day are books.

In fact, the reason for this is very simple, when a person sees an e-book, there are often only two choices, read it or not. And when faced with a book, people can choose the way of "opening the book is beneficial", you only need to flick the pages of the book and roughly know what the book is about, which is not possible with e-books.

Yang Chen followed Lin Ruoxi and walked all the way into the book city.

Plain-faced, wearing an ordinary white dress that has been washed I don't know how many times, Lin Ruoxi's dress is mediocre, but there are always a lot of eyes on her, and even in the eyes of many men, it is the greed of Chi Luo. This made Yang Chen understand to a greater extent why Lin Ruoxi had to have someone to accompany her, in such a crowded occasion, it was indeed dangerous for a girl like her to be alone.

After standing on the elevator to the humanities and history block on the more than ten floors, Lin Ruoxi walked out of the elevator and saw that Yang Chen had been following him, a little unaccustomed, so he said: "You can take care of yourself, just wait at the door." ”

"I'm not here to read the book, I'm here to see you," Yang Chen said.

"I'm not a child, why are you looking at me?" Lin Ruoxi said unhappily.

Yang Chen didn't care, "You just watch it yourself, since Mother Wang asked me to look at you, I will naturally do what I say, don't worry, it won't affect your reading, whatever time you see it." ”

Lin Ruoxi knew that talking to this scoundrel would not end well, so he might be half angry again, so he had to glare at him and began to browse through the rows of well-structured bookshelves.

Because of the size of the entire floor, although there are many people in the book city, most of the time it is quiet and there is no one around.

Lin Ruoxi's types of books are very complex, starting from the more than ten floors, the books on each floor will be taken a look, select a few, and then put them in the book basket, when it comes to the eighteenth floor of the fashion design block, Yang Chen's two hands have already carried two large plastic baskets of books, which add up to more than 100 catties.

I used to come to the book city with Wang Ma, because they were all women, and they often couldn't take a basket of books, so they had to go to the first floor to save them first and then go upstairs to choose, which was very troublesome. This time with Yang Chen, Lin Ruoxi felt much more relaxed, no matter what book he chose, as long as he put it in the basket that Yang Chen was carrying, he just chose it, and he didn't have to think about whether he could take it or not.

At this time, the woman seemed so engaged that she had forgotten how many books she had chosen, and shuttled back and forth between the shelves, as if tirelessly browsing through the various books.

Many customers who walked by the two of them saw the big basket and full of books that Yang Chen was carrying, and they all gave Yang Chen expressions of admiration and silent condolences, in their opinion, this man's arm must have been about to be broken. However, after seeing Lin Ruoxi's face, those customers were relieved, probably in order to please the girl, and they were desperately pursuing. When some young male customers saw Yang Chen's condition, their thoughts of accosting Lin Ruoxi were eliminated, and such a woman "couldn't bear it".

Yang Chen didn't care, he didn't think about whether the weight on his hand exceeded the scope of normal people's understanding, as long as the basket could fit, he wouldn't say anything.

After passing the fashion and design section, the two finally came to the last floor, which is a special layer for foreign language books, and there are very few people on this floor, after all, most of them are books in French, Spanish and other languages, and there are fewer who can understand them, and even fewer are willing to read these foreign popular books.

When Lin Ruoxi reached this level, he suddenly remembered Yang Chen's perverted foreign language ability that he had to be impressed with, and asked casually, "Can you understand all the books here?"

Yang Chen glanced at it, it was all the languages of Western countries and a few languages from Southeast Asia and the Middle East, and there were no small languages in Africa and Latin America that he didn't know, so he nodded and said, "I can understand it." ”

Lin Ruoxi originally had a casual question, but she didn't expect Yang Chen to really understand it, and she couldn't help but think that Yang Chen was bragging, after all, there are more than 20 kinds of foreign language books on this floor, in order to give Yang Chen a little lesson of "opening his mouth", it can be regarded as a fun mentality, Lin Ruoxi quietly walked all the way to the Albanian block.

Albanian is the official language of Yugoslavia, Serbia and other countries and regions, and because it combines many words such as Greek, Italian, and Slavic, it is one of the most unpopular but difficult European languages to learn.

Lin Ruoxi casually picked up a heavy book with a black cover, and casually flipped to a page, the Albanian text on it was dense, and it was a headache to read.

"You say that you can understand the language here, can you translate the text on this page to me?" Lin Ruoxi looked at Yang Chen, his expression was radiant, not at all like he had been shopping in the book city for three hours.

Yang Chen simply swept his eyes, smashed his mouth with some embarrassment, and asked, "Can I not say it?" I think this is more difficult to say. ”

"Don't make excuses, isn't it just translation? Didn't you say you could do it? What's so difficult about that? I'll hold you up the book, and you just have to open your mouth and talk about it. Lin Ruoxi continued to ask urgently, her beautiful eyes were full of smug joy, and she felt that she had finally occupied the upper peak and defeated Yang Chen.
