  Chapter 60 Contact

  Xin You was no less surprised to see He Qingxiao than his buddy Liu Zhou.

  She couldn't help but glanced at the row of bookshelves, thinking that Mr. He was trying too hard just to rub it, oh~www.novelbuddy.com~.

  He Qingxiao was also surprised to see Xin You.

  He thought the bookstore was not clean, so he came here early in the morning to read the end of the travel note, but he didn't expect Miss Kou to be here at this time.

   Miss Kou is so devoted to the bookstore, no wonder she can bring Qingsong Bookstore back to life.

   Seeing that the two of them were silent, Liu Zhou checked whether he and Shitou were in the way, and went up to meet him: "Good morning, Mr. He, please come inside quickly."

  He Qingxiao nodded politely to Liu Zhou, and walked inside.

  Xin You greeted with a smile: "Morning, Mr. He."

   "Morning Kou."

   The two who had greeted each other, one sat back in the chair, and the other walked towards the bookshelf.

   Liu Zhou was confused.

That's it? Not an appointment?

  He glanced at Xin You secretly, and saw a book spread out in front of Xin You, but his eyes were closed.

  The little guy watched helplessly as his boss narrowed his eyes until Mr. He left, staring at the sky speechlessly.

  Master He came here to read a book while it was quiet, and the owner had a good big bed and came here to take a nap. What is this for?

   Shopkeeper Hu came over and saw Xin You, and asked in confusion, "Boss, are you here so early?"

  Xin You rubbed the center of her brows, and said with a smile, "Come over and have a look. I didn't sleep well last night, and I felt sleepy as soon as I sat down. How about the printing shop?"

   Shopkeeper Hu came from the book printing house, and when he mentioned this, he became energetic: "Don't worry, my boss, everything is going well. The villain and Manager Zhao will keep an eye on it to ensure that there will be no typos."

   Typos are trivial matters, the main thing is to prevent Li Li's situation from happening again.

   "Thank you for your hard work, the shopkeeper. After you've been busy for a while, please go to the restaurant."

   Shopkeeper Hu and Liu Zhou hurriedly expressed their thanks, while Shitou scratched his head with a smile.

  Ji Cailan and Zhou Ningyue came here earlier than Xinyou expected.

   Seeing Xinyou in the living room, Ji Cailan was pleasantly surprised: "Sister Kou, it so happens that you are here."

   "I'm the owner of the bookstore, so I'll come here when I have nothing to do." Xin You looked at Zhou Ningyue.

  Ji Cailan hastily introduced: "This is my cousin, her name is Zhou Ningyue, and she is one year younger than Sister Kou. Cousin, this is the owner of the Qingsong Bookstore I mentioned to you, you can call her Sister Kou."

   "Sister Zhou." Xin You greeted with a smile.

   Seeing that Xin You was as gentle and amiable as her cousin said, Zhou Ningyue also smiled: "Sister Kou."

   After the introduction, Ji Cailan held Xin You's hand: "Sister Kou, your bookstore's "Painted Skin" is so beautiful, when will the second part come out?"

  At this time, the bookstore has already entered the bookstore one after another, and they all pricked up their ears after hearing this.

  Zhou Ningyue has been a little sensitive since she injured her leg, and when she noticed it, she quietly pulled La Ji Cailan's hand, signaling her not to ask questions.

  Xin You smiled: "Let's go inside and talk."

  The shopkeeper Hu's temporary resting place has undergone some changes, and it is more suitable for entertaining guests. Xin You led Ji and Tuesday inside, and heard the voice of dissatisfaction from the guests.

   "Hey, why are you still whispering, when will the second part of "Painted Skin" come out?"

  This reception room is only separated from the study hall by half a curtain, and the loud noise can be heard clearly.

  Ji Cailan showed an embarrassed expression: "Sister Kou, did I cause you trouble?"

   "How could it be?" Xin You poured tea for the two of them, "It's not a secret, I wish everyone would pay attention to when the new book is on sale."

   Shopkeeper Hu’s voice comforting the guests came: “Soon, soon, no more than two months at most…”

  Ji Cailan felt relieved and resumed talking: "Painted Skin is so beautiful, my cousin also came to buy "Painted Skin"."

  Zhou Ningyue smiled and said: "My cousin lent me "Painted Skin", and I was fascinated after reading it. I often read books I like, so I bought a copy."

   "Sister Riji came to buy "The Peony", and I heard it was also for sister Zhou." Xinyou naturally mentioned "The Peony".

  When Zhou Ningyue heard "The Story of Peony", she subconsciously frowned.

  Xin You showed an apologetic look: "Did I say something wrong—"

  Zhou Ningyue had a good impression of Xin You, and hurriedly said, "Sister Kou, don't worry, I suddenly thought of something on the way to Beijing."

  Xin You looked puzzled.

Zhou Ningyue pursed her lips, it was obviously not a pleasant memory, but she still said it out: "I originally lived in Wanyang, and at the beginning of the year my father went to Beijing to stay in the capital as an errand, and then my mother brought me to the capital to meet my father. Reunion, unexpectedly on the way I accidentally fell out of the carriage and broke my leg..."

   "Is it serious?" Xin You said with concern.

   "The pain was severe at the time, but fortunately, I met a kind wife who helped me connect the bones..."

  Listening to Zhou Ningyue's narration, Xin You's heart sank.

  Up to now, it is almost certain that Zhou Ningyue did not know about her mother's death, otherwise she would never casually mention it to someone she just met in a guilty conscience.

  If it wasn't Zhou Ningyue, could it be Zhou Ningyue's mother who brought disaster to mother? Or was she looking in the wrong direction from the start?

  The latter may make Xinyou's heart feel cold, and her hands and feet are cold.

   After drinking a cup of tea, Ji Cailan said with a smile: "The bookstore business is so good, we won't bother Sister Kou, my cousin and I will treat you to tea some other day."

  Xin You suppressed the turmoil in her heart, and stood up as if nothing had happened: "Okay, let's make an appointment later."

  She wanted to give "Painted Skin" to Zhou Ningyue, but Zhou Ningyue resolutely refused, and after being polite, she accepted the money at a 10% discount.

   "Thank you, Sister Kou."

   "Sister Zhou, you're welcome. You guys are here to buy the storybooks to take care of my business. I should thank you."

  Xin You sent the two of them out of the bookstore.

  After walking a certain distance, Zhou Ningyue turned around casually, saw Xin You still standing at the door of the bookstore, waved her hand at Xin You, and said in a good mood: "Cousin, Sister Kou is really good."

  Ji Cailan smiled: "So cousin, don't be bored at home all day. Now that your legs are better, go out often and make more friends."

"Um."

  The cousins ​​walked away talking and laughing.

  Xin You suppressed her smile, lowered her eyes slightly, and lay a small jade pendant in her open palm.

  Of course she won't just give up. Since it's unlikely that Zhou Ningyue has a problem, let's meet Zhou Ningyue's mother.

  Going back to the bookstore and casually reading for a while, it was estimated that it was almost time, so Xin You rushed to Maoer Alley in Jixiangfang.

  At the entrance of the alley, there were many people enjoying the cool and chatting. Xin You asked politely, "Is there a girl named Ji living nearby?"

   "Are you looking for girl Cailan?"

   "Yes, I'm looking for Sister Cailan."

  Seeing that Xinyou and Ji Cailan are about the same age, the neighbors naturally think that she is Ji Cailan's playmate, and they are very enthusiastic to point the way: "Here, her house is the third one in the alley."

  Xin You thanked her, walked into the alley and knocked on the door of the third house.
