Chapter 129 [May I Not Say It]
129
Yang Chen just talked on the phone, didn't pay attention to where Wang Ma went, shook his head, and asked, "Why are you looking for Wang Ma?"
Lin Ruoxi frowned, bit her net and didn't speak, as if she was thinking about something.
At this moment, Wang Ma's voice came from the second floor, "Miss, what's the matter?"
Yang Chen and Lin Ruoxi looked up together, they were a little dumbfounded.
I saw that Wang Ma had changed into a white nightgown at this moment, standing by the railing on the second floor, her hair was untied, and her face was covered with a layer of white mask, she was doing her own self-care.
Lin Ruoxi's dimples turned red, and she said angrily, "Wang Ma, when did you start making facial masks, and have you forgotten what day it is?"
Wang Ma was giving her face a small massage, while thinking for a while, "Oh, miss, you see Wang Ma is getting old, and my memory is getting worse and worse. I forgot what you said."
When Yang Chen saw the white-faced Wang Ma, she was a little fresh. No wonder Wang Ma was in her fifties, and she looked like a woman in her forties after taking care of her. It turned out that she also did these nursing jobs on weekdays. But thinking about it, it's true that taking care of such a big family alone, when you're not busy during the day, there's nothing else to do except take care of yourself.
"Then Wang Ma, hurry up, I'll wait for you." Lin Ruoxi said helplessly, sullen, just like a little girl who was deceived by her elders.
Yang Chen felt strange, what could be done without waiting for Wang Ma?
Without waiting for Yang Chen to ask, Wang Ma said: "Miss, don't wait for me. In the past, there were only us two women. Now that the lady is married to the uncle, of course the job of going to the bookstore to buy books is for the uncle to accompany the lady. , I still have a lot of nursing care to do today, Miss, you can go with my uncle."
"No!" Lin Ruoxi immediately said vigilantly: "I want to be with Wang Ma."
Wang Ma walked down the stairs with a smile, her hands still on her face, "Miss, I am too old, and I can't always be with you. You two have to live together in the future. I will accompany Miss Going to the bookstore to buy books, I can't give you much help. At most, I can help you carry two bags of books. My uncle is different. They are all young people. They can always talk and exchange opinions. Besides, when I go out at night, there is a Men are always good, and I can rest assured that my uncle will protect you, miss."
Yang Chen suddenly realized that this woman was going to the bookstore to buy books. Although she didn't get along with her for a long time, she probably understood that Lin Ruoxi seemed to like to make gods for books. Last time in her study, she saw a dazzling array of storage that looked like a small library. , and when I was in the hospital, I had to send a lot of books to read every week.
What I didn't expect was that this cold-tempered and unfriendly female president went to the bookstore to buy books, and she must accompany Wang Ma, just like a little girl wants her mother to accompany her to buy books.
Lin Ruoxi was at a loss for words immediately, what Wang Ma said was reasonable, although she felt awkward in her heart, but for some reason, she had some inexplicable hopes for Wang Ma's proposal.
Wang Ma smiled slightly, and said to Yang Chen: "Uncle, Miss has no friends since she was a child, she likes to read books by herself, and basically goes to the bookstore in Zhonghai every month to buy a lot of books. Sometimes, I would accompany the young lady, but now they have all left, and I, the old woman, is left to accompany the young lady. The young lady will not be used to it by herself. Now that it’s all right, with my uncle here, I can retire. "
After finishing speaking, Wang Ma gave Yang Chen an "encouraging" look, and walked back upstairs slowly.
Wang Ma said Lin Ruoxi's carelessness, and she felt very uncomfortable in front of Yang Chen, but fortunately, her expression was always cold, so she didn't seem embarrassed.
Yang Chen knew that she was thin-skinned, so he didn't continue to ask any more questions, and said, "Let's go, it's not safe to be alone at night, I'll accompany you."
"Do you know where Zhonghai Book City is?" Lin Ruoxi asked.
"I don't know, just tell me the way." Yang Chen said.
Lin Ruoxi shook her head slightly, "I'll drive."
"Is this very important?" Yang Chen wondered.
Lin Ruoxi nodded solemnly, and said seriously: "It's very important, I don't want to die in a car accident just to buy books."
"..."
More than half an hour later, in a black Mercedes-Benz sLk that Lin Ruoxi drove out of the garage, the two came to Zhonghai Book City.
The entire book city occupies a building with more than 20 floors, and books of various industries can be found here. The surrounding neon lights are extremely rare in this area, and the traffic flow is relatively sparse, but the flow of people outside the book city in the past is extremely large.
Although the material life has been extremely rich in this era, the magical invention of books has not been eliminated. Many scientists claim that traditional books will be eliminated by e-books and other tools, and paper will be submerged in the long river of history. But in fact, things like books have an irreplaceable status. From ancient times to the present, there are only a few things that have not been eliminated in human civilization, and books are among them.
In fact, the reason is very simple. When a person sees an e-book, there are often only two choices, to read it or not to read it. And when faced with a book, people can choose the method of "opening the book is beneficial". You only need to flick the pages of the ng book to roughly know what the book is about, which is impossible for e-books.
Yang Chen followed Lin Ruoxi, and walked into the book city all the way.
Facing the sky, wearing an ordinary white dress that has been washed countless times, Lin Ruoxi's attire could not be more mediocre, but there are always a lot of eyes on her, even in the eyes of many men, there is blatant greed. This made Yang Chen understand to a greater extent why Lin Ruoxi had to have someone to accompany her. In such a crowded place, it was indeed dangerous for a girl like her to be alone.
After standing in the elevator all the way to the humanities and history section on the tenth floor, Lin Ruoxi walked out of the elevator, seeing Yang Chen following her all the time, a little uncomfortable, so she said: "You can just watch it yourself, just go down and wait at the gate. "
"I'm not here to read, I'm here to look at you," Yang Chen said.
"I'm not a child, why are you looking at me?" Lin Ruoxi said displeased.
Yang Chen didn't care, "You can just watch it yourself. Since Wang Ma asked me to watch you, I will naturally do what I say. Don't worry, it won't affect your reading. You can do whatever you want when you see it."
Lin Ruoxi knew that talking to this scoundrel would not lead to good results, so she might be pissed off again, so she could only stare at him, and then began to browse through the rows of well-organized bookshelves.
Because of the wideness of the entire floor, although there are many people in the book city, most of the time it is quiet and there is no one around.
The types of books Lin Ruoxi reads are very complicated. Starting from the tenth floor, she will go to read the books on each floor, choose a few, and put them in the book basket. When it reaches the fashion design section on the eighteenth floor, Yang Chen Two big plastic baskets full of books were already carried in both hands, and the heavy weight added up to at least a hundred catties.
I came to the book city with Wang Ma before, because we were all women, we often couldn't move after taking a basket of books, so we had to go to the first floor to store them before going upstairs to choose, which was very troublesome. Coming with Yang Chen this time, Lin Ruoxi felt much more relaxed. No matter what book she chose, she just had to put it in the basket that Yang Chen was carrying.
At this time, the woman seemed to be very devoted, and she completely forgot how many books she had already selected, shuttled back and forth between the bookshelves, as if browsing through various books tirelessly.
Many customers who walked past the two of them saw the big basket full of books that Yang Chen was carrying in both hands, and they all gave Yang Chen expressions of admiration and silence. From their point of view, this man's arm must be about to break Lost. But after seeing Lin Ruoxi's face, those customers were relieved, probably because they were trying their best to please girls. Seeing Yang Chen's situation, some young male customers lost all thought of chatting with Lin Ruoxi, such a woman "couldn't bear it".
Yang Chen didn't care, he didn't consider whether the weight in his hand was beyond the range of normal people's understanding, as long as the basket could fit, he wouldn't say anything.
After passing the fashion and design section, the two of them finally came to the last floor, which was dedicated to high-quality books in foreign languages. There were very few people on this floor. After all, most of them were books in French, Spanish and other languages, and they could understand them. There are fewer, and even fewer are willing to read these popular books in foreign languages.
When Lin Ruoxi arrived at this floor, she suddenly remembered Yang Chen's perverted foreign language ability that she had no choice but to admire, and asked casually, "Can you understand all the books here?"
Yang Chen glanced at it, all of them were languages from Western countries and a few languages from Southeast Asia and the Middle East, and there were no small languages in Africa and Latin America that he didn't know, so he nodded and said, "I can understand them all."
Lin Ruoxi originally only asked a casual question, but she didn't expect that Yang Chen could really understand it. She couldn't help but feel that Yang Chen was bragging. After all, there are more than 20 foreign language books on this floor. In order to give Yang Chen a little " The lesson of talking nonsense" is also a kind of playful attitude, Lin Ruoxi walked all the way to the small area of Albanian without compromising.
Albanian is the official language of Yugoslavia, Serbia and other countries and regions. Because it combines Greek, Italian, Slavic and many other words, it is one of the extremely cold but difficult European languages.
Lin Ruoxi casually picked up a heavy book with a black cover, and casually flipped through to a page. It was densely packed with Albanian text, which made it a headache to read.
"You can understand the language here, can you translate the words on this page for me?" Lin Ruoxi looked at Yang Chen with a radiant look, not at all like she had been shopping in the bookstore for three hours.
Yang Chen glanced briefly, smacked his mouth in a bit of embarrassment, and asked, "Can I not say it? I think it's more difficult to say it."
"Don't make excuses, isn't it just translation? Didn't you say you know everything? What's so difficult about it? I'll hold you a book, and you just need to open your mouth and talk." Lin Ruoxi kept asking urgently, her beautiful eyes filled with Complacent joy, it feels like finally occupying the upper peak and defeating Yang Chen.
