Chapter 43: The Man Who Loves Reading Is So Handsome (Thanks and Plus)

Early the next morning.

Chen Lun opened the door with sleepy eyes.

After a battle last night, I was a little tired physically and mentally.

He looked up and saw a beautiful figure mopping the floor in the living room.

"Good morning, Mr. Jack."

Connie stood up, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and smiled brightly at him.

It can be seen that she is in a good mood today.

"Good morning, Connie."

Chen Lun responded and entered the bathroom.

After some washing, he came out again, just in time to see Floy open the door and come back.

The cleanly washed dog wagged its tail excitedly, sprang out from behind Floy, and pounced at Chen Lun's feet.

"Did you go to Mrs. Caroline's?"

Chen Lun touched the dog's head and asked Floy.

"Hmm...... I learned from Mrs. Caroline how to make some of the dishes, which I made with her. ”

Floy held a dinner plate with some meatballs and pies on it, as well as an apple and a cup of tea.

She pursed her lips and faced Chen Lun, with expectation in her tone:

"I've brought some here, would you like to try them?"

Chen Lun smiled and took the plate.

"Of course."

Floy smiled.

She silently listened to Chen Lun's footsteps until she stopped at the table.

Chen Lun put down the food and saw Connie who was still cleaning.

"Have you eaten, Connie? Why don't you come over for a bite to eat? ”

Connie looked a little flattered and quickly waved her hand and shook her head.

"No...... No, Mr. Jack. ”

She pointed in the direction outside the door.

"I'll go downstairs and make breakfast in a minute, and I'm going to make one for my father."

"Okay."

Chen Lun shrugged his shoulders and began to eat.

He picked up a ball, and under Floy's expectant "gaze", it was put into his mouth.

The meat is juicy and has a hint of smoked meat.

"It's delicious."

Chen Lun was surprised.

"Looks like you're gifted, Floy."

"Thanks for the compliment."

Floy covered her lips and chuckled, and sat down gracefully on the couch.

It can be said that Chen Lun ate today's breakfast very comfortably, I don't know if it is a psychological effect. But he could feel the care of the person who made the meal.

After the meal, Connie took the initiative to run over and clean up.

Chen Lun wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and took a sip of tea.

"Connie, I heard you're taking classes at the Technical College?"

"Yes, Mr. Jack.

I studied mechanical theory at the Technical Institute of Hinoha in Amber City, and I was interested in that. ”

The corners of Connie's mouth lifted as she said this.

Chen Lun nodded silently.

He got up and went back to his room, and in a moment he came over with two objects and placed them on the table.

"Connie, you can take these two things and study them."

"It's ...... Those bastards' weapons last night? ”

Connie picked up the mechanical gloves and the horn gun, her face surprised, and then she looked at the artifact in her hand with some excitement.

"It looks crude, but the idea is unique!"

"If you're interested."

Chen Lun said with a smile.

Then he got up and walked towards the door, and when he opened it, he turned his head and said to Floy:

"I'll go out for a walk and come back later."

"Well, be careful on the road."

Floy whispered to him.

……

The news of Viscount Pompeii and Dolly has been handed over to Gary, and Chen Lun's efficiency alone is no better than that of the entire Iron Fist Gang.

They are originally underground forces mixed in the outer cities, and they are good at finding out all kinds of news.

In addition, Gehry is more familiar with the inner city and knows many big people, and I believe that it will not be long before there will be a harvest.

Now Chen Lun plans to do something else.

For example, reading a book.

He went downstairs and went straight to the door of the bookstore next to the flower shop.

Obtained "Memoirs of Kenburney the Recorder" from Kent, which allowed him to successfully have a side career as a recorder.

This also gave Chen Lun a revelation.

That is, you can't miss every opportunity to acquire transcendent knowledge, and maybe there is a treasure hidden in any humble book.

"Old Cripple Bookstore."

Chen Lun glanced at the wooden signboard and pushed the door in.

An old man sitting behind the counter raised his head and looked at Chen Lun, not intending to get up.

"Feel free, but don't get the book dirty and spoiled."

He stroked his reading glasses and continued to look down at the tome in his hand.

Chen Lun took a few steps inside and found that although the bookstore was small, there were not many books in it.

The bookcases on three walls are filled with books, and there is a bookcase in the middle. He went inside, and saw a mini spiral staircase leading to the upper compartment.

Chen Lun glanced back at the old man and found that the other party was immersed in reading and didn't pay attention to himself at all.

So he stepped lightly on the spiral staircase to the upper floor.

It's so cramped that you can't even stand up straight, you have to bend over.

There was a window in the wall, and the light was not too dim.

Similarly, the bookcase against the wall here is full of books. There were even some books that had nowhere to put them, stacked together and piled up in the corners.

"Let's start here."

Chen Lun nodded in satisfaction.

With a large base, he has a better chance of finding a book that contains "treasures".

Time always passes quietly in reading.

I don't know how long it has been.

Chen Lun's attention was suddenly attracted by a familiar voice.

"Mr. Taut, I'll return some books."

"Oh, Miss Caroline, please...... By the way, you're pretty today. ”

Then there was a chuckle from Mrs. Caroline.

"You're still so funny, Mr. Taut."

"Sun witness, I'm just an honest old fellow."

Chen Lun put down the book in his hand and walked down the spiral staircase.

Mrs. Caroline, with two books in her hand, was talking to the old man with glasses behind the counter.

"Hey, little Jack!"

When Mrs. Caroline saw Chen Lun, she was a little surprised, and immediately said hello.

"I just went up to look for you, little Floy said you went out, so you are here to read."

She walked over slowly and smiled kindly:

"There is a proverb in my hometown of Amethyst City, which says, 'A man who loves to read is like the sun, and his two hands can't block his light.'"

"Miss Caroline is complimenting you on your brilliance, boy."

The old man said from the side.

Mrs. Caroline gave him a blank look, but made the old man smile.

"It's good to love reading, but you can't miss a meal...... It's just right, let's go back in time now. ”

Mrs. Caroline put down the book in her hand and motioned for Chen Lun to leave with her.

Chen Lun glanced at the sky outside, and it was already night.

"I'm sorry for you, Mrs. Caroline."

"You're so kind, little Jack...... Anyway, little Floy and I learned a good dish, which is very suitable for dinner, and you can enjoy it later. ”

"I'm looking forward to it."

The two exchanged briefly.

He followed Mrs. Caroline out of the bookstore and into the hallway.

But I sighed in my heart.

It's a pity that he has searched through all the books in the upper compartment of the bookstore, and he has not been able to find a single one containing extraordinary knowledge.

Although this is common sense, today's nothingness still makes him feel embarrassed.

"I'll see you tomorrow ......"
