After deciding that they wanted to learn Chinese under the snow, the two agreed to go to the bookstore together on Saturday to pick up the books they needed.

The two of them set off at nine o'clock in the morning and arrived at the Maruzen Bookstore in Chiba, a long-established bookstore in Japan with nearly 50 branches in various places.

The shop sells books on a variety of topics, as well as old maps, beautiful models of sailboats, a café, a book corner for children, and a stationery counter.

Maruzen Shoten has a space on the fourth floor, and one floor offers books in foreign languages, periodicals, and magazines from Asia, Europe, and South America. Another major selling point is its dictionaries and self-study books in Chinese, Korean, Welsh, Polish, Malay and many other languages.

"It's a big bookstore, it's the first time I've been in a place like this." Takeshita followed under the snow into the bookstore, and he was stunned by the scene in front of him. He can't estimate how big it is, he only knows that at a glance, it looks unfathomable.

Rows of black bookshelves neatly place all kinds of books, wood-colored floors, bright lights, quiet atmosphere, concentrated a large number of paper books and wafted out of the smell of books. It looks heavy.

"Yes, every time I come to the bookstore, I feel the greatness of human beings, and the creation and inheritance of such a wealth of knowledge." After entering the bookstore, the whole person changed under the snow. He felt that he was more calm under the snow now than he was when he was reading a book in the ministry department, and he was integrated into the world.

"But you don't understand this feeling, although you usually hold a book, but you just can't feel like you're reading."

"If I say this in a place like this, I would self-injure myself, although it's true that I don't like to read books like this."

"If you feel small, you can only work hard to make yourself stronger."

"So it's working on it," the two men whispered as they walked. Try not to disturb everyone, although it is a bookstore, but to give others the feeling of a library.

Passing by a table was the same book, half white and half yellow, and he took a special look at the conspicuous book, the title of which was the same as the lemon in a few small bamboo baskets next to it.

"What is the origin of this book, and it was actually released separately?" He asked in a whisper under the snow.

"This book is Kijiro Kajii's novel "Lemon", which was released in limited edition stationery at the bookstore on the 140th anniversary of its founding, so if you want to know more about it, you can find out for yourself, it's very interesting."

Although he didn't know the main story, he felt that the word 'own son' could not be wrong.

Although he doesn't like to read, he still likes to go to places like this, and he wants to wander around, but he walks in one direction with a purpose when doing things under the snow, and he has to follow her, but his attention is still on the rows of bookshelves next to him, although the title of the book is not clear, but he just likes to look at it.

"Takeshita-kun, what kind of textbook do you use to learn Chinese?" The two searched for a while, and then found a book about the Chinese language, under the snow under the snow holding Chu Ci in the left hand of the thread, and the history of the right hand, while looking distressed.

"Hey, these two books haven't been read by many people in their own countries, and it's not suitable for you to read this now." Takeshita Bingmi took the historical record in her hand and flipped it up.

Didn't history start to change after the Qin Dynasty, and there were still historical records?

Looking at the name, the history is different, but some people will still appear, and this historical record is still written by the same person, so the content is different.

Putting the book back in his hand, he gently pushed her behind the back under the snow, signaling her to go forward, and put the book in his hand under the snow.

Snow glared back at him, his hands raised to shoulder level, as if he hadn't done anything else.

After the two agreed last night, he also checked some information himself, so after seeing the thick dictionary, the first thing he was sure to buy, "Na, you can't learn anything without a dictionary, this new summer dictionary is the most commonly used, although you may not need it now." ”

"Well, I learned my English by looking up the words one by one, which doesn't bother me." There was a dissatisfied look under the snow, as if it was uncomfortable to be looked down upon.

Looking at the Xinxia dictionary, which was thicker than the dictionary he knew, he opened it and looked at it, and it was not only kanji as he thought, but also Japanese characters with explanations on the side.

It turned out to be processed, "Okay, you're still awesome." The next step is to find the pinyin table, with which you can read and spell Chinese characters accurately. ”

Then, after searching for a while, he finally found the Chinese Pinyin table in the first lesson of a self-study textbook. Only then did he realize that he boasted yesterday that he wanted to teach her Chinese, but when he chose the textbook, he found that he didn't know how to start, and who let him learn according to the textbook before.

In the end, I can only find a book with the basics written on the cover, elementary and the like, but fortunately, each kind of book has one or two open books, which can make people see the content inside, or it will be more difficult for him to do.

The last dictionary, a book with a pinyin alphabet, several other elementary and intermediate character books, as well as ancient poems in Hanshu, he took double copies, and he himself had to practice his words.

His handwriting is a little anxious, and after a while, he may not know some of the characters, so now he has to teach Chinese characters under the snow, and he feels that he is embarrassed if he doesn't practice good characters. When he reads, he will find one thing, he can either read very well or read very badly.

The former is okay to say, the latter he once asked, and the answer he got was: The girl can only read the words when she writes love letters, otherwise the book can't be read, and the words are so ugly, and you still want to chase girls?

And they are in the middle, generally they are not good at handwriting, and they are average in reading, and they are neither concerned by teachers nor liked by girls.

"I look like you're very unsure, I'm really worried about whether you're up to the task, or it's safer for you to buy it according to the textbook when you were learning Chinese." Xue Xia said to him with a worried expression.

"Although this is the first time I've seen these textbooks, it's fine, and I can't be mistaken." He came back a little embarrassed. "I can't find it in the textbooks when I was learning Chinese."

"Well, let's try it first," Xue Xia said, but his eyes seemed to say that if he couldn't do it, he would die.

"Hey, it's not fair, if you don't teach well, you say it's not good, is there a reward for teaching well?"

"You offered to teach me, not me who asked you to teach me." A short sentence under the snow explained what she meant. "Besides, let you feel what it's like to be a professor in advance, and then you may have to rely on it for a living in the future."

"Eh, I haven't thought about it yet, it seems that the future is guaranteed, I can open a Chinese learning class, and I will ask you to be a teacher when the time comes." He took her words and said with a smile.

"Are there any other books you'd like to buy? Like about cats or something? ”

Hearing his words, the sharp eyes under the snow immediately flew over, revealing the meaning of you dare to say one more word.

"What's there to be afraid of others knowing, liking cats is not something to be seen. Besides, you read about cats in the activity room every day, and you know it as far away as Qigu sits, not to mention Yubihama, who is so close to you. ”

"No, it won't, right?" He asked with a shudder under the snow, his cheeks stained pink.

"With your expression, you don't really think that you look at them so openly, do you?" He didn't expect the snow to be so pure.

"Well, you're a pervert who has been watching me," the shyness under the snow soon disappeared, and his words were still as straightforward.

"Ahem~"

He looked left and right with a weak heart, but fortunately there was no one in the area.

"Keep saying that I'm perverted, then aren't you afraid, your little physical strength, even if you are powerful in Aikido, it's useless."

"Takeshita-kun's mouth is getting worse and worse." Under the snow, he admired and smiled.

"Thank you for your good teaching," I'm not a pervert, how could I do anything, you all know that the teacher took one to hurt me.

"You're welcome."

"You really don't know what modesty is."

"Not exaggerating one's abilities or worth, not boasting or conceited, this is modesty." He brushed his hair under the snow, looked at him and continued: "In other words, people who are capable and valuable do not need to be modest. ”

"Why does the last sentence of yours sound weird to me?"

......

The two talked all the way, settled the bill and left the Maruzen bookstore.
