Chapter 3769 In vain
"If there's nothing in the afternoon..."

"It's tomorrow."

Zhang Bo shook his head.

Sure enough, things didn't go that smoothly.

Both Xiaolu and the others and they all hoped that the woman named Dongfang could come to the bookstore today.

Well.

There is still hope for them.

There's still the afternoon.

……

"It's almost twelve o'clock."

Yang Jialing looked at the time.

"Let's go have lunch first."

I guess that Dongfang sister won’t come over during lunch time.

……

"Ah."

Yu Yuer covered his neck and twisted it.

She lowered her head to read a book for a while.

After a while, he turned his head and looked out the window.

The neck is very busy.

It’s been a long time.

I felt my neck was a little sore.

"Let's go."

"hungry."

"After we fill our bellies, we'll continue our fight."

By the way, waiting for someone is really a very exhausting thing.

Because I always keep in mind when that person will arrive.

There is no way to concentrate on other things.

Over time, mental fatigue affects the body.

Exhausted physically and mentally.

……

"kindness."

Lu Xiaoxiao put down the book in her hand that she had only turned a few pages of.

"Let's go eat first."

She smiled.

But I felt a little disappointed.

Sister Dongfang didn't come this morning.

do not know……

Will Sister Dongfang come today?

……

Lu Xiaoxiao's heart felt a little anxious for a moment.

But soon, she suppressed her anxiety.

It was a scene that was expected.

It’s either today or tomorrow.

Do not worry.

She will wait for Sister Dongfang.

……

Lu Xiaoxiao and the others ate in a hurry.

Something's on my mind.

I didn't enjoy the meal very much.

Back at the bookstore, they went straight to the cashier.

"Store manager."

……

The store manager crossed his legs.

With a toothpick in his mouth.

Frightened by the shouting of Lu Xiaoxiao and the others, the toothpick fell from the manager's mouth.

……

The store manager bent down in a hurry to pick up the toothpick on the ground.

"Ouch."

The store manager shouted in a slightly annoyed voice.

He still remembers that this is a bookstore.

Don't make too much noise.

"Young ladies."

"What are you doing so aggressively?"

……

Lu Xiaoxiao and the others felt a little embarrassed.

"Feel sorry."

Lu Xiaoxiao apologized straightforwardly.

"We were anxious for a moment."

"Store manager."

"Is Sister Dongfang here?"

Lu Xiaoxiao's big eyes were full of anticipation.

……

Store manager:......

He touched his neck and coughed lightly.

"Cough cough~"

The girl looked so eager that he felt embarrassed to tell the truth.

But he could only tell the truth.

"……No."

The manager shook his head.

……

"what……"

Lu Xiaoxiao and the others were immediately disappointed.

Seeing this, the store manager looked at the girls in confusion.

"What do you want to see Dongfang about?"

"Is it so urgent?"

"Have you met before?"

He was referring to before that exhibition.

He just treated it as the first time the girls came to ask him about Dongfang's whereabouts.

After all, that time, they didn't even know each other's names.

……

"Did Dongfang take your things?"

This is the only reasonable explanation the store manager could think of.

Otherwise, these girls should have just met Dongfang, right?

What is there that requires them to come to Dongfang so persistently?

But if Dongfang took these girls' things...

He found it ridiculous again.

……

Dongfang is not that kind of person.

Although he did not have much practical and positive communication with the East.

Neither he nor Dongfang are very talkative people.

Basically every time we meet, a smile and a greeting are enough.

Unless Dongfang had something to consult him about, they would chat more.

But Dongfang is his old customer after all.

He thought he understood the other person somewhat.

……

Let’s talk about the East…

Although you can't judge a book by its cover.

But there is also a saying that a person with knowledge of poetry and books will be naturally elegant.

It is obvious that Dongfang comes from a wealthy family and has excellent upbringing.

Who would take other people's things?
……

"No."

Seeing that the manager had misunderstood, Lu Xiaoxiao quickly waved her hand and shook her head.

"We have something to ask Sister Dongfang."

……

"Sister Dongfang told us something before."

Yu Yuer explained further.

"We have some doubts and want to ask her in person."

……

"Oh."

The store manager suddenly realized.

Although this explanation is vague, it pretty much describes the situation.

"That's right."

The manager nodded.

"It seems to be something that you are very concerned about."

……

Lu Xiaoxiao and the others smiled.

Isn't it?
Don’t you care that they can come here so actively?

I didn’t even have a good lunch.

……

Seeing that they just smiled and didn't say anything, the manager understood.

He grinned.

"The East hasn't come yet."

"You guys can read some books in the store."

"If you like any of them, you might as well take a few back home."

……

"Ah."

Lu Xiaoxiao and the others nodded.

Don't say it.

They actually planned to buy a few books to take back.

Otherwise, they would feel embarrassed to stay in the store reading books all day.

Although their original intention was not to read.

……

This is not a library.

It is a bookstore that sells books.

Logically speaking, customers who just look but don't buy are not very welcome.

The store manager's words to them touched their hearts.

It would be better if the store manager was nicer and could send a message to Sister Dongfang.

Ok.

They knew that they were "pushing too far".

They were prepared to wait for two days.

come on.

……

"What time is it?"

Zhuge Yun looked at the time on the computer.

"The third child."

He leaned back and looked at Xiao Xiao who was not far behind him.

"It looks like Xiaolu and the others will return empty-handed today."

……

"Tsk, tsk."

Zhang Bo shook his head.

"A day is going to be wasted."

……

"What bad luck..."

Zhao Luzheng sighed.

The other party actually wants to come to the bookstore tomorrow.

……

"Be happy if you can wait for someone tomorrow."

Zhuge Yun stretched lazily.

"Don't let the Dongfang lady suddenly have something to do tomorrow and can't come..."

“That’s really tragic.”

……

"You crow's mouth."

Zhang Bo glared at Zhuge Yun.

"You just say things that are unpleasant to the ear."

"Can't you say something nice?"

……

Zhuge Yun hooked his feet on the chair and his body swayed.

“I’m just stating a possibility.”

"But I am praying for Xiaolu and the others in my heart."

“I hope their wishes come true.”

……

"……sorry."

Lu Xiaoxiao hung his head.

I dare not look at the faces of my two good friends.

……

"What are you sorry for?"

Yu Yuer was puzzled.

"Yes."

Yang Jialing nodded.

"Inexplicable..."

……

"I am so unlucky..."

Lu Xiaoxiao was hesitant.

How could she forget her bad luck in the past few days?
I was so naive that I thought I could wait for Sister Dongfang today...

She has no self-awareness at all.

……

"Harmful."

Yu Yuer waved his hand.

"what?"

"It's a fifty-fifty chance."
