Pet King - Chapter 1375

This is like a classic scene in youth idol dramas. For example, two people go to the library to pick the same book at the same time. Their fingers touch one another, and the sparks fly immediately.

Although it looks the same, it is also different. This is because Zhang Zian did not want to take the McMillan English Dictionary, and Zhuang Xiaodie is on the other side of the bookshelf. Thus, their fingers will not touch.

“What a coincidence, you are here at the library too?”

It’s awkward to continue looking at her in such a manner, and he felt embarrassed. He subconsciously retracts his hand, lowered his voice, and says hello.

As for the idea of ​​whether there is an invisible book in the space next to the dictionary, it had been temporarily forgotten with the revelation of a surprise like this.

She took her time, deliberately looked around and whispered. “I can’t come here?”

“…that is not what I mean.”

Zhang Zian quickly explained himself because she misinterpreted what he meant.

Judging from the current interactions they have had, Zhuang Xiaodie is obviously rich and wealthy. There is an eighty percent certainty that she is a second-generation rich kid. He has no prejudice against the second-generation rich kids. They can also come to the library to read books because ‘rich’ and ‘unskillful’ does not have direct causation. To talk about being unskillful, perhaps the children of poor families are more likely to be so.

His focus was on the word ‘coincidence’. However, perhaps because he lowered his voice, she misunderstood him as if he is implying that second-generation rich kids cannot be here to learn. She might have always been misunderstood by others before and therefore is very sensitive to any suggestion of something similar. Thus, she merely picks up on these and focuses on the second part of his sentence earlier.

At this time, there were other people who were picking books between the bookshelves. It was strange to see two people talking across the bookshelf. They looked at them even more.

Zhuang Xiaodie glanced to the side with her eyes, meaning to find a place to sit down and talk.

Zhang Zian also had the intention of looking for a place to sit down. He nodded and looked at the original empty space in the bookshelf. He then turned away from the bookshelf and went to the reading area in the center of the third floor.

Zhuang Xiaodie had changed her clothes today, but she is still in a beautiful traditional Chinese dress that makes it difficult for anyone to look elsewhere. Even if she is sitting in the library and reading a book, she still looks like a cultured person with a high level of intellect. It is inevitable that she will attract so many stares. There are some that even stopped reading and kept their eyes firmly on her.

It’s not a sparsely populated mountain top, and it is brave of her to be able to take on so many complicated stares at her – One must know that not all the stares are that of admiration. Mixed between those are some of disgust and disdain. What is missing are these people coming up to her nose and scolding her for attracting attention. After all, not everyone can accept someone wearing a traditional Chinese costume around, much less such a gorgeous looking piece.

Zhang Zian, who was sitting next to her and whispering to her, naturally was worried for her about those piercing stares that are not friendly.

He glanced around quietly and saw her placing a stack of books on the table. In addition to the McMillan English Dictionary, there was another book, the Oxford Interactive Graphical Dictionary. Was this Is this book that originally occupied that empty space?

It is very likely. Given the thickness of this book and the width of the space, It should be able to fit in just nicely.

Probably, before Zhang Zian came, she first extracted the Oxford Interactive Graphical Dictionary and left an empty space. After he came, she pulled out the McMillan English Dictionary.

He was relieved and concluded that his weird thoughts were too ridiculous. How could there be invisible books in the world?

However, he cannot believe that she is the type of person who would read such difficult reference books.

She did not read the two English dictionaries immediately. Instead, she opened another book, which is similar to the book selected by Zhang Zian. It is also a well-known scientific map, the World Insect Ecology Big Picture Book. It was a very thick book.

This is a little weird. Why did she choose these two books that are completely unrelated at the same time?

It seems that she heard the question in his heart. After opening the book and viewing the insect illustrations, if she encountered an English word that she did not understand, she would flip open the dictionary and look up the word.

It turned out to be so…

This book is in English and will definitely involve a lot of biological vocabulary. The translation software on the phone may not be accurate.

She actually didn’t say anything. Zhang Zian made the above explanation based on his own observations and thought he guessed it all.

The looks given by others around him made him a little embarrassed. Thus, he opened the book he chose and pretended to read it. However, nothing was going in. He was always thinking about something else, mainly thinking about what to say to her. They can’t always be so silent, can they?

Instead, she glanced at the World’s Rare Pets Encyclopedia he was ‘reading’ and asked, “Are you interested in pets?”

“This is…because my family runs a pet shop.” He told her again, thinking that she had forgotten.

“I know, I mean, do you have to take over the business from your family in the future?” She asked again. There was no hint of her looking down on him in her tone. Rather, it sounded as if Zhang Zian was inheriting a big family business.

“This… no, I’m a little interested.”

Even if he wanted to take over the pet shop, his parents would certainly not agree. There was no other way about this.

What’s more, he had not reached the point of giving up his job in the city. He should work hard while he is still young.

“What about you? Are you interested in insects?” he asked. With that, he felt like he was on the road to an awkward and dead-end conversation with her.

“Yes,” she admitted without any hesitation.

“Ok…”

Zhang Zian has nothing else to say, and the surrounding sight has become even more debilitating.

They have already lowered their voices and talked. In fact, they basically weren’t affecting the others, but there are still people who can’t stand the sight of them. This is, of course, out of jealousy. After all, not everyone gets to talk and joke around with a beauty.

For the next hour, Zhang Zian was not able to calm down. He merely pretended to be reading.

After an hour, he was finally able to relax a little, and his attention was gradually drawn to the book itself.

She never talks again and has been reading attentively.

As soon as noon came, she stood up, leaned over, and whispered to him, “I will go first. Goodbye.”

This is a normal social etiquette because it is a library, and everyone needs to be quiet. There were also, at this point in time, no longer strangers. However, the breath from her mouth and the sound of her voice made his heart tremble.

He suspected that this was not a coincidence. He thought that perhaps she came to the library to see him… but it was really just him making things up in his mind. It seems she was merely here to read. Otherwise, why didn’t she take the initiative to talk about other things?

Looking at her back view, he laughed silently in his heart, thinking: Zhang Zian, Zhang Zian, what do you really think of yourself? People just come to read books.

His stomach was a little hungry, and he was beginning to feel uneasy again. He might as well leave and go home to eat.

When he passed by service desk on the first floor, he stopped and asked: “Yes, about that someone on the fifth floor causing trouble, now…”

The employee smiled, “It has been settled.”

“Oh.” He nodded and left the library.
