Chapter 3477 Star Bookstore
“There’s a bookstore up ahead.”

Xiao Xiao said softly.

……

The termite cheered up.

Repeated disappointments made it a little frustrated and impatient.

of course.

It was not such an impatient monster.

But this time, Lord Xiao Xiao accompanied it.

It felt a little uneasy about having delayed Lord Xiao Xiao for much longer than it expected.

At first, it really didn't expect that the bookstore it stayed in before would be so difficult to find...

……

"Worm."

……

The woodworm turned its head suddenly.

what?
……

"I'm in no hurry."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"I think the process of helping you find the bookstore where you're staying temporarily is very interesting."

“I’m enjoying it.”

"You don't have to feel like you're wasting my time."

"besides……"

"I'm glad to see you again this time."

……

The woodworm was stunned.

Its eyes flickered.

The next second, its drifting sight stopped.

what! ?

That’s the one!

……

Xiao Xiao blinked.

Then laughed.

"Isn't that what we have found?"

……

Xiao Xiao walked towards the next bookstore, which was also the bookstore where the worm was temporarily staying.

……

This is not your typical chain bookstore.

It is a bookstore run by an individual.

Xiao Xiao thought of the bookstore where he first met Wu.

It is also a bookstore run by one person.

It seems that the bookworm prefers this kind of bookstore.

indeed.

Chain bookstores tend to appear more organized and formal.

A bookstore run by an individual will have a strong personal touch.

It makes people feel more surprised.

……

Xiao Xiao pushed the door and walked into the bookstore.

The bookstore is not big.

But it is arranged very neatly and warmly.

The combination of warm tones of the main body and occasional bright colors makes people feel peaceful and relaxed.

The ingenuity in some details is even more eye-catching.

……

This bookstore has a very cute name.

Star Book House.

Xiao Xiao raised his eyes slightly.

Falling from the ceiling were star-shaped lights of varying sizes.

A soft light spreads out.

so cute.

It also has a fairy tale and romantic atmosphere.

……

There were not many customers in the bookstore, but not too few either.

Almost all of them 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 looked at the books open in front of them.

The shop owner had no intention of intervening.

Xiao Xiao smiled.

In fact, most bookstores do not allow customers to read books in the store.

After all, they are bookstores.

It's not a library.

Books that are frequently flipped through by customers become old or even torn and are difficult to sell.

……

It seems that the owner of this store is a person who is very tolerant of children.

Xiao Xiao curled the corners of his mouth.

This can also be seen from the decoration of this store.

……

In addition to the children who come to read books for free, there are also young girls who come to the store to read books together.

They were talking and laughing 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 the scent of books, making it more beautiful.

……

Xiao Xiao looked towards the cashier counter.

Sitting behind the cash register was an aunt wearing silver-rimmed glasses 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 shop owner.

……

The owner was a little stunned.

But soon, a gentle smile appeared on the owner's face.

She also nodded to Xiao Xiao.

……

Xiao Xiao withdrew his gaze.

“This bookstore is great.”

He murmured quietly.

……

The woodworm couldn't help but grin.

That is.

Can the bookstore it chose be bad?
……

Moreover, the owner this time is only middle-aged.

She should be able to stay with him longer.

This bookstore should be able to last longer.

Xiao Xiao knew that the 頹 was actually a monster that was somewhat nostalgic.

Even as a monster, you are destined to get used to changes.

Things have changed and people have become accustomed to it.

……

Xiao Xiao walked to an empty bookshelf.

He looked at the books on the shelf.

Then he picked out a book at random.

He opened the book.

This is a fairy tale themed picture book with bright colors.

He curled the corners of his mouth.

……

"Worm."

Xiao Xiao raised the book in his hand slightly.

……

After a second of confusion, Yu understood what Lord Xiao Xiao meant.

In fact, it can completely jump over this distance.

But since Master Xiao Xiao cares so much about it...

The termite landed lightly on the open book in Lord Xiao Xiao's hands.

……

Xiao Xiao moved the book closer to the bookshelf.

The woodworm understood and jumped onto the bookshelf.

……

"Master Xiao Xiao."

The woodworm grinned.

"Thank you for taking me back."

"And it took you so much time..."

……

Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly.

"Thanks to you, this is my first time in this bookstore."

“This bookstore is beautiful.”

"I love so much."

"And now that I know you're here..."

"Would you welcome me to visit you here next time?"

A smile appeared in Xiao Xiao's eyes.

It’s okay if I didn’t know before.

Now that he knew that the woodworms were temporarily living here, Xiao Xiao could come and see the woodworms next time he passed by here.

……

"!?"

The borer's eyes were wide open.

Then it nodded hurriedly.

"Of course!"

"I am very glad that you came to see me."

"I mean……"

"I couldn't be more welcome."

The high-pitched tone of the termite revealed its excitement.

When it thought about Lord Xiao Xiao coming to see it later, it couldn't suppress its excitement.

……

"Ok."

Xiao Xiao's eyebrows were curved.

"Then today, we should say goodbye."

……

"Ah."

The woodworm nodded.

Because I know that Master Xiao Xiao will come back to see it later...

At this moment, the worm no longer felt any of the melancholy it had felt before when it thought about returning to the study and that Lord Xiao Xiao was about to leave.

Even though they haven't parted yet, Que is already looking forward to the next meeting.

……

"Worm."

Xiao Xiao looked at the little monster with a smile.

"Goodbye."

……

"Goodbye."

"Master Xiao Xiao."

The woodworm bowed his head to Lord Xiao Xiao.

.....
After a few seconds, it raised its head and watched Lord Xiao Xiao's back.

During their two meetings, Lord Xiao Xiao helped it a lot.

Met Lord Xiao Xiao.

It's lucky.

The woodworm tilted his head with a smile.

.......
Xiao Xiao put the book in his hand on the cashier counter.

Not that picture book.

That picture book is beautiful though.

This is a chess manual.

He just discovered it by accident.

It's in the last row of the bookshelf.

He was a little surprised at his own sharpness.

How did he find it by chance...

But now that he had discovered it, he knew that this chess book was destined for him and it was something he didn't have, so he naturally had to buy it.

It really wasn't a loss for him to send the woodworm home this time.

There was a smile in Xiao Xiao's eyes.

……

The shopkeeper handed the books in the bag to the young man in front of him.

She was impressed by the smile the young man had just given her.

Very polite child.

and……

"Do you like playing chess?"

The store manager made this guess because of this chess book.
