Chapter 905: Chapter 906: The Person Who Caught Her Attention
“Chiang Xiao, are you going to buy one? We’re planning to go to Xinhua Bookstore together, do you want to co with us?” The girl sitting at the sa desk as Chiang Xiao was a girl nad Zheng Ruyi, who had asked to change seats last sester. When Liu Guohua found out, he suggested she sit with Zheng Ruyi.
That was because Zheng Ruyi was a very quiet girl with average grades, but there seed to be room for improvent.
Chiang Xiao thought her teacher really did worry too much.
She knew what he ant, Zheng Ruyi wouldn’t bother her or cause a commotion, and wouldn’t really affect her existing habits. Plus, her earnestness in class and her ability to highlight important points in her notes might influence Zheng Ruyi and help improve her grades.
It wasn’t until after Chiang Xiao had been Zheng Ruyi’s desk-mate for a sester that she discovered Zheng Ruyi was also learning to draw, but she was learning how to draw comics.
At that ti, comics hadn’t started to beco popular. She had just beco fascinated by a foreign animated film that had been introduced and drew quite well.
This gave Chiang Xiao and her sothing more to talk about.
So, when they moved up to Second Year this sester, they decided to continue sitting together.
“Sure, let’s go together.” Chiang Xiao would occasionally join in the girls’ activities in class, so as not to stick out too much.
Knowing that they were going to buy yearbooks, a few boys in class also decided to go along.
After school, a group of youthful boys and girls stepped out of the campus, their crisp and cheerful laughter drawing the attention of many passersby.
Chiang Xiao walked among them, her lips involuntarily curving into a slight smile. She never could have imagined she’d have the chance to stroll so easily with her classmates, just to buy yearbooks.
In her previous life, had she ever experienced such a life?
She was either desperately drawing or working hard to earn money to support herself.
Even though she had been making so much money from her paintings, she had to live so frugally, in retrospect, it was really…
Even a fool wouldn’t have been so foolish.
Chiang Xiao often visited the Xinhua Bookstore in the county town to buy paints, paper, and the like.
“The yearbooks should be over there, let’s go pick them out! I’ll call dibs now, though, I want one with a very cartoonish cover, in pink. Don’t you guys fight
for it if you see it.”
“Fine, fine, we don’t want pink anyway, we won’t fight with you!”
Chiang Xiao smiled and followed them toward a bookshelf, when suddenly, a man with a large black backpack brushed past them, bumping heavily into Zheng Ruyi who was walking in front of Chiang Xiao.
Zheng Ruyi winced in pain and stumbled backward, but Chiang Xiao imdiately steadied her.
“Sorry.” The man quickly stopped and turned around to apologize to Zheng Ruyi.
He was an unremarkable-looking man, just over thirty, with a beard that seed to have gone unshaven for so ti, giving him a sowhat unkempt look.
What caught Chiang Xiao’s attention was his backpack.
It was a large backpack, bulging, packed full of things. He was holding a book in his hand, a book that looked old, and Chiang Xiao, with her sharp eyes, caught sight of the title imdiately.
Her heart skipped a beat.
There were still books like that in the county town?
Huaming County Records.
Their county was Huaming County.
But Chiang Xiao had always felt that Huaming County was a very ordinary place, although it seed to have developed decently in the last two years, it didn’t have any particularly special features.
How could there be such a book as the county records? What was there to record?
What made her notice was that the man’s apology wasn’t in the local accent.
An outsider interested in the Huaming County Records?
