Chapter 2: Buying a Romance Novel?

Today is Saturday, which also happens to be Valentine's Day on February 14th.

An Manman didn't want to go out to see the couples on the street, but in the past half a month of overtime, this is the only day she has rested, and it is also a special holiday approved by the boss Dai, requiring her to have a good rest at home and not to come to the company to work overtime.

But what can you do without working overtime?

Roommate Chen Xiaoxia said last night that she would live a two-person world with her boyfriend and would not come back, leaving her alone at home, although she had long been used to it, but it was also full of loneliness and loneliness.

……

After sleeping until he woke up naturally, An Manman began to clean and tidy up the room, and was busy working overtime for half a month, although he was usually used to a simple life, and the house looked not messy, but the materials on the desk, the manuscripts still had to be classified and filed, so that the whole room was neat and clean, and the mood would always be brighter!

The curtains were opened, and the bright and soft light sprinkled in at once, and the mood of the people suddenly brightened up.

Therefore, An Manman decided to go to the Three Days Bookstore in Dongyang District, which she hadn't been there for a long time.

At this time, her first Virgo novel "How Good It Would Be If You Knew Me" had also been signed for publication, and she had not yet had a chance to go to the bookstore to see what her new book would look like when it was finally published!

······

Although today is Valentine's Day, it is also the Dog Abuse Day, and I don't expect to meet any peach blossoms or true love when I go out, but it is still necessary to dress up beautifully.

An Man Man wore a plain blue crewneck sweater and a beige gray long skirt with a skirt that reached just to her calves, revealing her thin and white well-proportioned ankles.

Although she is not tall, 158 is still slender and well-proportioned, and with a beige backpack, mid-length hair in a shawl and delicate light makeup, this 29-year-old girl still looks vibrant.

There are so many people today, An Manman looked at the past, and the subway platform was pouring in and out of one-on-one couples, or hugging, or holding, happy and sweet, and those few people who came in and out singlely, she estimated that she was also waiting for an appointment with the other half.

However, what does all this have to do with her, after all, her last love ended 3 years ago...

Her fantasy love is written in the book, and the love she will encounter in reality doesn't know when it will be, and at this time the broadcast remembers:

Dongyang District Bailu Station has arrived, and if you want to get off the bus, please get off from the left side, please pay attention when you get off!

……

The door opened, there were few people getting off at this station, and there was no surging in the carriage, and the passengers were waiting quietly, while the passengers who were going to get off the train needed to hurry, and it was obvious that they needed to work hard to squeeze out of it.

"Hello, please let go, let go, thank you!"

The crowding of Valentine's Day, An Man can be regarded as personally feeling, walking out of the subway entrance, escaping from the crowded places full of love hormones...

An Manman took a deep breath and looked up at the sky, which was clear and clear, without a trace of cloud impurities.

An Man thought to himself: I hope that the people who are dating today can be so pure and beautiful in their love.

Sure enough, there are more romantic places in the weather and days like today, which are suitable for dating, and it is also suitable for people with a heart to create a romantic resort, and bookstores are definitely not the first choice.

The Three Days Bookstore in Dongyang District is an old store that has been open for many years, although the exterior decoration of the store is ordinary, but the inside is a small literature and art with thought, and there are three things that are indispensable here, that is, books, green plants and sunshine.

The books on the shelves are placed neatly, a stack of books occupies a small area of the bookshelf, the horizontal is for reading and flipping, the vertical is for the sale of choices, the classification line between books and books is green plants, various varieties and shapes of green plants are staggered, making people look pleasing to the eye, and the heart is full of green vitality.

The most important thing is that all the potted plants are made of Japanese wood color, which matches the original wood color of the bookshelves, which makes this already literary bookstore have a touch of elegance.

Although the bookstore is not lit on three sides, the decoration design is as much as possible to let the sun not block it. Through the white gauze curtains, warm and bright natural light penetrates into the bookstore, and the books, shelves, and green plants are mottled and shadowed.

Most of the visitors who read books and visit bookstores here are quiet and calm, as if they have reached a tacit understanding of enjoying the moment. Reading books page by page, selecting books one by one, the whole bookstore repeats the photosynthesis of spiritual culture and the natural nature of the outside world in a quiet minute and second.

Yes, this bookstore is An Manman's favorite bookstore to visit.

Although it doesn't seem to be cold today, it's still somewhat less popular than in the past.

"There are few people, it's quiet and reads books, maybe I can find a good place to sit for a while." An Man thought about it.

On the shelves of new books on the right side less than two meters from the door of the bookstore, I saw my new books at a glance, and I was a little excited, and after picking up a copy that could be flipped through, I sat down in a corner by the window, and the sun was just right.

The book "How Good It Would Be If You Knew Me" is a romance novel for readers, but for An Manman, it is more like a semi-autobiographical fantasy novel.

In the past three years of being single, An Manman has written all the looks he expects for love into this novel, which is a tacit understanding between the two in a comfortable relationship, knowing you, understanding you, and loving you more.

Therefore, using Mo Yan's "How good it would be if you understand me" as the title of the book is also her expression of the love she is looking forward to.

The cover of the book is a picture of her imagining the male and female protagonists snuggling in front of the room and watching the sunset, which is beautiful and romantic for readers, but for An Manman, this is the consummation of "because I understand you, so I love you".

However, who knows that the prototype of this heroine's house is from a suburban courtyard villa in her project, called [Fence Courtyard].

At the beginning, this courtyard villa was a real estate project owned by the real estate company where her friend Gao Lilan was in the circle, and An Manman was responsible for taking over the planning.

Because it is a suburb of the city, it is sparsely populated, and it is intended to focus on the trend of anti-urban life and build in imitation of the rural style, so as to convey the life attitude of "living and cultivating the ancient times", so that people can calm down the heart of chasing fame and fortune and feel the breath of fireworks in the world!

But now in Luozhou City, young people like houses in the urban area, because the urban life is prosperous and rich, the shopping malls and food cities and shopping malls are lined up, and the entertainment clubs and carnival resorts are even more dazzling, and the urban wealth can be enjoyed at your fingertips...

And the suburbs, in addition to the mountains and rivers, who would give up enjoying the prosperity and splendor at a young age...

······

It is also a coincidence that the Three Days Bookstore was designed by Jensen, and when the name was taken, Jensen also referred to it through "Three Inches of Daylight Illuminates the Future", and the bookstore does not mean the spirit of the future. So. After this back and forth, Jensen naturally became familiar friends with the owner of the Three Days Bookstore.

……

Today's Valentine's Day, Jenson, who is also single, also because he doesn't know where to go, after all, there are too many places today that are not suitable for a single dog to wander around at will.

Therefore, Jenson remembered the Three Days Bookstore and thought of stopping by to kill the time and find the latest architecture book by the way.

Jenson walked around the bookstore for a while, saw "How Good Would You Be If You Knew Me" in the new book column, and thought, there will be truth in romance novels? But after all, it's made up artificially, and there's no interest in it... But the cover looks a little warm, and the background is a little familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere...

Forget it, Jenson never reads this kind of romance novel, and he thinks that it is better to spend time reading novels than to read some nutritious books.

Immediately, he was very skilled in finding books among the architectural books, picked out two that he thought were good, held them in his hand, and prepared to find a place to sit down and take a good look.

……

At this time, the owner of the bookstore saw Jensen and went straight over to take a photo, and after the two asked each other about the current situation, Jensen said that he was about to find a place to sit and read the book for a while.

Suddenly, Boss Fu said that he could recommend a new book to Jensen to read, and he thought that a single man like Jensen, who has a literary temperament in his bones, might like it.

"Come on, Brother Jane, there is a book "How Good It Would Be If You Understand Me" on the new book recommendation column in front, you can take a look, it is suitable for you as a single man to study and study."

"You mean the one with a couple hugging each other watching the sunset on the cover, the one with a warm yellow color?"

"Yes, yes, it's that one! That book is an online word-of-mouth novel, and it is very popular with many people! ”

"Me, I think it's better to forget it, the title of the book is quite poetic, from Mo Yan's poem, but, old man, you don't know, I'm an engineering man, I can only engage in design and decoration, where would I like romance novels that little girls like."

"Forget it, I see there's a place there, I'll go over and sit down first, you get busy first!" After speaking, Jenson waved his hand at Boss Fu, signaled that he wanted to go over and sit, and took the opportunity to quickly walk away.

And Boss Fu also happened to have other store affairs to deal with, so he nodded in response.

"Okay, okay, then you sit down, I'll be busy first, let's go back and talk, talk back."

……

Jenson came to the position, pointed to the empty position, and politely asked the girl in front of him:

"Excuse me, is there anyone in this position?"

An Manman looked up and saw the boy in front of him who was wearing a shirt, clean, sunny and a little restrained, smiled politely, and shook his head:

"Nobody"

"Thank you!"

After Jensen sat down, he was about to flip through the books, and he found that the girl opposite was flipping through "How Good It Would Be If You Understood Me" recommended by Boss Fu just now, he was thinking, do girls like to read this type of book?

He lowered his head slightly, thinking that the moment she looked at him just now her eyes were really clean and clear, so Jenson glanced at the girl sitting opposite her with her spare eyes, dressed in simple and plain clothes, light makeup, her hair was silky and draped over her shoulders, and a clean and beautiful face loomed.

Jenson thought to himself, "This girl still feels quite comfortable, but it's quite special to not go on a date on such a good day and read here like me." ”

Then Jenson began to flip through his book, turning the pages carefully, fearing that the sound and movement would interfere with the reading of others.

······

After reading for a while, Jensen found that An Manman, the girl sitting opposite, did not flip through the pages one by one, but put the book on the table and spread it out, lowered her head slightly, supported her brow with one hand, and flipped the novel with her hand, and looked out the window to think for a while, seeing An Manman so intoxicated, Jensen thought: Is this book so attractive?

When Jenson continued to flip through the books, to his bewilderment, An Man took out a pale green notebook and a pen from her school bag, then turned the pages and opened them, and quickly wrote down some words in the blank space...

Because the distance was too far, Jenson couldn't see or look at what An Manman was sitting on, he just felt that this girl was a little special, reading romance novels and taking notes...

After writing, An Manman packed up his notebook and pen, put it in his school bag, and left his position with the novel, leaving a very clean and refreshing back for Jensen.

After reading two books, Jenson decided to buy one of them, and was about to go to the cashier to settle the payment, when he happened to meet An Manman, who was settling the payment at the cashier.

What made Jensen feel strange was how An Manman bought a professional book on marketing planning, instead of buying the novel "How Good If You Knew Me" that she had just read, and it was special to read it so seriously, but not to buy it.

An Man finished paying, grabbed the books, and turned to leave the bookstore.

······

At this time, when Jensen was settling, he found that the book was just 68 yuan after the discount, and the "How Good If You Know Me" on the side of the cashier happened to be the book that An Manman had just read and didn't buy, and was idle and so on, and it happened to be 32 yuan...

Well, let's round up a hundred!
