The repeated disappointments made him a little frustrated and impatient.
certainly.
It is not such an impatient monster.
But this time Master Xiao Xiao accompanied it.
It felt a little uneasy that it had delayed Master Xiao Xiao far longer than it expected.
At first, he really didn't expect that the bookstore he stayed in before would be so difficult to find...
…
"Beetroot."
…
The beetle suddenly turned its head.
ah?
…
"I'm in no hurry."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"I think the process of helping you find your temporary bookstore is... very interesting."
"I'm enjoying it."
"You don't have to feel like you're wasting my time."
"besides……"
"I'm very happy to see you again this time."
…
The beetle was stunned.
Its eyes twinkled.
The next second, its drifting gaze froze.
ah!?
That's it!
…
Xiao Xiao blinked.
Then laughed.
"Didn't I find it now?"
…
Xiao Xiao walked to the next bookstore, which was also the bookstore where the beetle temporarily lived.
…
This is not your usual chain bookstore.
It is a bookstore run by an individual.
Xiao Xiao thought of the bookstore where he first met.
It is also a bookstore run by an individual.
It seems that beetles prefer bookstores like this.
indeed.
Chain bookstores will appear more organized and formulaic.
A bookstore run by an individual will have a strong personal touch.
It makes people feel even more surprised.
…
Xiao Xiao pushed open the door and walked into the bookstore.
The bookstore is not big.
But the layout is very neat and warm.
The main body is warm in color, and the occasional bright color combination makes people feel calm and relaxed.
The ingenuity in some details is even more eye-catching.
…
This bookstore has a very cute name.
Star Bookstore.
Xiao Xiao raised his eyes slightly.
Falling from the ceiling are star-shaped lights of different sizes.
A soft light blooms.
so cute.
It also has a fairy tale and romantic atmosphere.
…
There are not many but not too few customers in the bookstore.
Almost all are children.
This is indeed a bookstore that is very popular with children.
…
The children sat directly on the floor, leaning against the bookshelf and looking at the books spread out in front of them.
The store owner had no intention of taking care of it.
Xiao Xiao smiled.
Generally, bookstores do not allow customers to read books in the store.
After all, they are bookstores.
It's not a library.
Books that have been frequently turned over by customers are not easy to sell if they are old or even torn.
…
It seems that the owner of this store is a very tolerant person towards children.
Xiao Xiao curled up the corners of his mouth.
This can also be seen from the decoration of this store.
…
In addition to children reading books, there are also young girls hanging out in the store.
They chatted and laughed in low voices, wandering in front of the bookshelves.
…
Soothing music flows in the quiet air.
It seems that even the music has been tainted with a bit of scholarly flavor and has become a bit more beautiful.
…
Xiao Xiao looked at the cashier.
Sitting behind the cashier was an aunt wearing silver-rimmed glasses who was reading a newspaper.
As if noticing his gaze, the shopkeeper put down the newspaper and looked up.
…
Xiao Xiao smiled.
He nodded slightly to the shopkeeper.
…
The shop owner was a little stunned.
But soon, a gentle smile appeared on the shop owner's face.
She also nodded to Xiao Xiao.
…
Xiao Xiao looked away.
“This bookstore is very good.”
He murmured softly.
…
The beetle couldn't help but grin.
hey-hey.
That is.
Can the bookstore it chooses be bad?
…
Moreover, the shop owner this time is only middle-aged.
She should be able to stay with him for a longer time.
This bookstore should be able to stay with me for a longer time.
Xiao Xiao knew that the beetle was actually a nostalgic monster.
Even if you are a monster, you are destined to get used to change.
Get used to things changing and people changing.
…
Xiao Xiao walked to an empty bookshelf.
He looked at the books on the shelf.
Then I randomly picked out one.
He opened the book.
This is a fairy tale themed picture book with bright colors.
He curled his lips.
…
"Beetroot."
Xiao Xiao raised the book in his hand slightly.
…
After a second of confusion, Zhi understood what Lord Xiao Xiao meant.
In fact, it can completely jump over this distance.
But since Master Xiao Xiao is so concerned about it...
The beetle landed lightly on the book spread out in Master Xiao Xiao's hand.
…
Xiao Xiao moved the book closer to the bookshelf.
The beetle jumped onto the bookshelf knowingly.
…
"Master Xiao Xiao."
The beetle grinned.
"Thank you for sending me back specially."
"It took you so much time..."
…
Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly.
"Thanks to you, it's my first time to come to this bookstore."
"This bookstore is beautiful."
"I love so much."
"And, I know you're here..."
"Am I welcome to visit you next time?"
Xiao Xiao's eyes showed a smile.
It’s okay if I didn’t know before.
Now that he knows that the beetles are temporarily living here, Xiao Xiao can come and see the beetles next time he passes by here.
…
"!?"
The beetle's eyes are wide open.
Then it nodded hurriedly.
"certainly!"
"I'm glad you are willing to come see me."
"I mean……"
"I couldn't be more welcome."
The beetle's high tone revealed its excitement.
When he thought that Mr. Xiao Xiao would come to see it later, it couldn't restrain its excitement.
…
"OK."
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows are curved.
"Then today, it's time for us to say goodbye."
…
"Um."
The beetle nodded.
Because I know that Master Xiao Xiao will come to see it again later...
At this time, the beetle no longer felt a little melancholy that she had before thinking that it had returned to the bookstore and Master Xiao Xiao was leaving.
Even though we haven't said goodbye yet, I'm already looking forward to the next meeting.
…
"Beetroot."
Xiao Xiao looked at the little monster with a smile.
"goodbye."
…
"goodbye."
"Master Xiao Xiao."
Zhi lowered his head to Master Xiao Xiao.
…..
After a few seconds, it raised its head and looked at Master Xiao Xiao's back.
During the two meetings, Mr. Xiao Xiao helped him a lot.
Met Mr. Xiao Xiao.
It's lucky.
The beetle smiled and tilted his head.
….
Xiao Xiao put the book in his hand on the cashier.
Not that picture book.
Although that picture book is very beautiful.
This is a chess book.
He just discovered it by accident.
It's in the last row of the bookshelf.
He was a little surprised at his own sensitivity.
How did he discover it by chance...
But now that he discovered that this chess book was destined to him, and it was a chess book he didn't have, he naturally wanted to buy it.
It was really not a loss for him to send the beetles home this time.
Xiao Xiao's eyes were filled with smiles.
…
The shopkeeper handed the book in the bag to the young man in front of him.
She was deeply impressed by the smile the young man had just given her.
Very polite child.
and……
"Do you like playing chess?"
Because of this chess book, the store manager made this guess.
