Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Liu Hua listened with increasing bewilderment, her gaze towards Li Ting also somewhat odd. Are these things news?

Youre not talking about people the likes of Song Zhi and Zhuang Peng, are you?

Seeing Liu Huas skepticism, Li Tings expression turned a bit strange:

Anyway, Ive warned you. Believe it or not!

After saying this in a huff, Li Ting turned and ran away.

Xia Wan, dont take her words to heart. Those people dont have the capability to come up with any new tricks! Liu Hua, seeing Xia Wans tense expression, quickly rea.s.sured her.

Xia Wan, not wanting to overly worry Liu Hua, forced a smile. Lets go!

And look, there are so many books here! Many of which I couldnt find before! Liu Hua excitedly flipped through the books on the shelves, her steps lightening.

Xia Wan looked at the bookstore before her, feeling a sense of nostalgia.

She used to love spending entire days in bookstores, relis.h.i.+ng the relaxed and free atmosphere, a feeling she hadnt experienced in a long time.

Xia Wan took a deep breath, as if trying to use the scent of books to wash away all her worries and stress.

Hey! Move! Dont block the way! An impolite voice came from behind Xia Wan and Liu Hua.

Caught off guard, Liu Hua was rudely pushed aside.

Xia Wan reacted quickly, pulling Liu Hua to her side to prevent her from hitting the corner of a bookshelf.

Whats wrong with you? Liu Hua, having steadied herself, turned to the person who had pushed her.

Xia Wan also looked towards the group.

One of them, not paying them any attention, was focused on the bookshelf as if searching for something.

Liu Huas voice seemed to have no effect on her.

She wore a blue and white checkered dress and carried a small, chic black leather bag, her style quite trendy and unlike the girls from the county town.

Two others were with her.

One wore a plain s.h.i.+rt with dark blue trousers.

The other was dressed in an army green uniform, looking like a typical military child from the army compound.

The woman in the plain s.h.i.+rt stood in front of Liu Hua, as if worried Liu Hua would attack them, What do you want?

Liu Hua, startled by the womans aggressive tone, lost her voice for a moment.

The other woman in the army green uniform looked darkly at Liu Hua and Xia Wan. Youre blocking the way and affecting others, yet youre being so unreasonable.

Typical of poor and backwvard areas to produce such rude people. I knew this place lacked quality!

Liu Hua, seeing the others arrogance, couldnt contain her anger, How can you speak like that!

Whats wrong with what I said? the woman in the green uniform slightly raised her chin, Looking at you, it seems youve probably never even left the county town!

The womans mocking tone made Liu Huas face turn red.

Xia Wan narrowed her eyes, sizing up the woman from head to toe, then said,

You must have stolen someone elses clothes to wear out, right?

The woman was taken aback by Xia Wans words, stammering, You, what nonsense are you talking about!

Xia Wan slightly raised an eyebrow, You know these clothes arent just for anyone to wear, right?

But do you also not know that wearing these clothes out to deceive people could cause trouble for the owner of the clothes?

Xia Wans words made the womans face even more embarra.s.sed, I dont know what youre talking about! These clothes are mine, theres no reason I cant wear them out! I havent havent deceived anyone!

The womans words clearly lacked her previous confidence, and her tone was not as aggressive as before.

Xia Wan sneered, Guess what would happen if I call the military unit now?

Would you and the real owner of these clothes be taken away for questioning?

The woman became even more panicked, unsure of how to respond.

The woman in the plain s.h.i.+rt then interrupted the conversation, We have no grudges or acquaintances with you, why are you being so aggressive

Am I being aggressive? Xia Wan laughed lightly, If she hadnt provoked us, I wouldnt bother arguing with you rude people.

You b.u.mped into my friend. As long as you sincerely apologize to us, I will let bygones be bygones..
