The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 344 You are not allowed to play their ideas

The stone road in front of the door was covered with a thin layer of white snow.

Qi Jiang was outside the door, looking up at the snow.The western mountains in the distance are also separated by a layer of vague thick fog.

He also couldn't remember how many snows this year since the beginning of winter, but he just felt that although white snow is good, too much snow can sometimes be annoying.

Inside the bookstore, the little boy who was immersed in his homework suddenly stopped the pencil in his hand.

Perhaps Qilan's eyes revealed too much information, and the little child also noticed the abnormality.

He carefully looked at Lin Mi, who was disguised as a man, and finally realized that the little brother who came in to read every morning every day these days turned out to be a beautiful woman.

"This young lady is so pretty." The little guy touched his head, nibbled on the tip of the pencil, and continued to do his homework.

His elder brother, who is also the clerk of the bookstore, told him that if he didn't finish the calculation when he came back at noon, and the calculation was correct, the scrambled eggs and sesame candy at night would be cancelled.

Qilan didn't notice the curiosity in the little boy's eyes.

He saw Qijiang's back and guessed that the second brother was leaving a space for him and Lin Mi to be alone.

During the days of separation, he was thinking about her all the time, afraid that she would be discovered by bad guys in this crowded capital, and even more afraid that the distance between her and himself would grow further and further away.

Lin Mi's hair exuded a faint fragrance, and the air was also somewhat sweet.

Qilan's thousands of words drifted away silently with the snowflakes.

He silently put his hands in his pockets, and stood beside him quietly, waiting patiently for Lin Mi to finish the book in his hand.

Qi Jiang, who was concentrating on watching the snow outside the door, suddenly heard a rush of footsteps.

He turned his head vigilantly, and saw a girl in a yellow dress rushing towards the bookstore with a small maroon leather bag on her shoulders——
She wore a western-style lady's hat on her head, and her shoulder-length hair was slightly curled under the hat.

Although he couldn't see her whole face clearly, Qijiang's intuition told him that the girl in front of him should not be much inferior in appearance to the goddess Zhu Juan in his heart, and that temperament was even somewhat familiar.

She hurried to the door of the bookstore, and saw that there were only three people inside, as if she had taken a snack.

"Little bee, come home with me!"

Her voice is not high, with a kind of softness and thinness unique to southern girls.

little bee?
Qilan wanted to laugh when he heard that, it was a good name, and he did his best to protect Lin Mi's identity.

In order not to let Lin Mi find out, he consciously dodged behind the bookshelf behind her.

Lin Mi really took his eyes away from the book for an instant, and put it back to the original place reluctantly.

She shyly walked around the big bookshelf where Qilan was hiding, and came to her.

"Sister Caiwei, I'm pretty boring staying at home, how do you know I'm here again?"

Li Caiwei looked sideways at the book she put down,
"What book is so beautiful?"

"A Midsummer Night's Dream."

"Oh, it's a good book! We bought it so we can read it at home now."

Caiwei walked a few steps into the store, reached for the book, came to the counter and asked the absent-minded little boy with a smile:
"Little brother, can you sell it to us at a discount?"

"Well, I can sell a little less. My sister will give me half of the money."

Caiwei couldn't believe it when she heard that the child was given a [-]% discount all of a sudden.

"That's too little."

The little boy put down his pencil, touched his head, and smiled:

"That book is actually not worth that much money. Now the bookstore sells one book at a time, and we will close the store after the warehouse is cleared."

Caiwei and Lin Mi took the book that he stamped vigorously, took out all the change from their pockets, and placed them in front of the little boy, which frightened the kind-hearted little guy.

He looked at them anxiously, thinking:
"Two sisters, I can't accept such a deep love from you two. I like you to come here every day and be my company."

They insisted on giving it, but the little boy was stubborn and refused to charge an extra penny. Gu Qilan, who was hidden behind the bookshelf, wanted to be a temporary judge.

At this moment, his brother Gu Qijiang, who had a quick turn of the brain, had already gently turned into the shop.

Lin Mi and Caiwei looked up at the same time——
At some point, another customer came to the bookstore, and walked towards them as soon as he entered.

Qi Jiang noticed the uneasiness of the two girls, deliberately pretended to be very interested, and took the precious book on the counter in his hand.

Even though we hadn't seen him for several days, Lin Mi still recognized him.

She was particularly worried about being recognized, so she quickly lowered her head and remained silent.

Seeing that he really took the book, Caiwei couldn't help being anxious: "Sir, the book was chosen by us."

Qi Jiang looked into her eyes and asked kindly:
"Do you want this book?"

"Yes!" A voice came from outside the store, and Qi Lan by the bookshelf and Qi Jiang by the counter were startled.

They all looked towards the door.

A very energetic young man stood there, with a small crew cut, big eyes, and a basket in his hand.

Lin Mi didn't dare to shout because of Qi Jiang's presence.

On the contrary, Caiwei had no scruples and walked directly in front of him.

"You got off work early today?"

"The boss gave half a day off."

Li Yan smiled, handed the basket to Caiwei, and went straight to the counter.

He recognized Qi Jiang at a glance, the corner of his mouth trembled slightly, and then he regained his composure.

"My lady likes this book. If you come late, just wait for the next one."

Qijiang looked at him, and didn't recognize him rashly, and said casually, "I'm just joking with them. In fact, children know more than me."

He opened the wallet and put two silver dollars in the palm of the stunned little boy.

He pulled the little boy's ear and whispered:

"Little guy, remember to help me keep an eye on them in the future, huh?"

Li Yan couldn't understand why Qi Jiang did this.

However, he felt that Gu Qilan had saved his life twice, and Gu Qijiang also helped the Lin family break out of the siege at Tianjin Railway Station, so there should be no malice.

The little boy took the silver dollars, held the book and stuffed it into Lin Mi's hand who was silent.

Caiwei didn't know Qijiang, so she took Lin Mi's hand and was about to leave.

Li Yan escorted them all the way away.

Qilan couldn't hide anymore, and rushed out of the bookstore ahead of Qijiang.

Qijiang wanted to leave too, but unexpectedly the little boy chased him and dragged his hand, refusing to let go.

"Sir, I don't care about money, but I don't allow you to think of them!"

As the little boy said, he put the silver dollar in his hand and clenched a small fist, which made Qi Jiang dumbfounded.

Children are also so powerful, they are really small ghosts.

While holding the little boy's hand, he patted the little boy's head.

"After they come here, it's up to you to pay more attention to whether there are bad people. My brother and I probably won't come here often."

The little boy felt an inexplicable warmth flowing through his palm, and he really didn't look like a villain.

Looking at the back of Qijiang leaving, he scratched his head wonderingly, all kinds of random guesses finally ended with a catastrophe when his brother came back to check his error-ridden arithmetic homework.
