Chapter 43 A man who loves reading is so handsome (thanks and updated)
The next morning.
Chen Lun opened the door sleepily.
I went through a lot of fighting last night, and I'm a little tired both physically and mentally.
He looked up and found a beautiful figure mopping the floor in the living room.
"Good morning, Mr. Jack."
Connie stood up, wiped the sweat from her brow, and gave him a bright smile.
It can be seen that she is in a good mood today.
"Good morning, Connie."
Chen Lun responded and entered the bathroom.
After washing up, I came out again, just in time to see Floy opening the door and coming back.
The clean dog waggled its tail excitedly, jumped out from behind Floy, and rushed to Chen Lun's feet.
"Did you go to Mrs. Caroline's for dinner?"
Chen Lun touched the dog's head and asked Floy.
"Well... I learned how to make some dishes from Mrs. Caroline, and she and I made these together."
Floy was holding a dinner plate with some meatballs and pie on it, as well as an apple and a cup of tea.
She pursed her lips and faced Chen Lun, with expectation in her tone:
"I brought some here, do you want to try it?"
Chen Lun smiled and took the dinner plate.
"Of course."
Floy smiled.
She listened silently to Chen Lun's footsteps until he stopped at the dining table.
Chen Lun put down the food and saw Connie who was still cleaning.
"Have you had your meal, Connie? Do you want to come over for some?"
Connie looked a little flattered and quickly waved her hands and shook her head.
"No... no need, Mr. Jack."
She pointed in the direction outside the door.
"I'll go downstairs to make breakfast later, and I'll also make one for my father."
"Okay."
Chen Lun shrugged and started eating.
He picked up a meatball and put it into his mouth under Floy's expectant "watching".
The delicious gravy overflows with a hint of the unique mellow flavor of bacon and a hint of fruity flavor.
“Delicious.”
Chen Lun said in surprise.
"You seem to have a lot of talent, Floy."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Floy covered her mouth and chuckled, sitting down gracefully on the sofa.
It can be said that Chen Lun felt very comfortable eating breakfast today. I wonder if it was a psychological effect. But he could feel the care of the person who made this meal.
After the meal, Connie took the initiative to run over and clean up.
Chen Lun wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and took a sip of tea.
"Connie, I heard that you are taking classes at a technical college?"
"Yes, Mr. Jack.
I studied mechanical theory at Kohaku City Hinoha Technical College, and I was very interested in that area of knowledge. ”
Connie's lips curled up as she spoke of this.
Chen Lun nodded silently.
He got up and went back to the room. After a while, he came over with two objects and put them on the table.
"Connie, take these two things and study them."
"Is this...the weapon of those bastards last night?"
Connie picked up the mechanical gloves and the trumpet gun, looking surprised. Then she looked at the objects in her hands with some excitement.
"Although the workmanship looks rough, the idea is very unique!"
"As long as you are interested."
Chen Lun said with a smile.
Then he got up and walked towards the door. After opening the door, he turned his head and said to Floy:
"I'm going out for a walk and will be back later."
"Well, be careful on the road."
Floy faced him and whispered.
……
The information about Viscount Pompeii and Dolly has been handed over to Gary. Chen Lun alone cannot be as efficient as the entire Iron Fist Gang.
They are underground forces that hang out in the outer city and are good at inquiring about all kinds of information.
In addition, Gary is familiar with the inner city and knows many big shots. I believe he will gain something soon.
Now Chen Lun plans to do something else.
For example, reading.
After he went downstairs, he went straight to the door of the bookstore next to the flower shop.
Obtaining "The Memoirs of Recorder Ken Birney" from Kent allowed him to successfully have the secondary occupation of "Recorder".
This also gave Chen Lun a revelation.
That is, you cannot let go of every opportunity to acquire extraordinary knowledge. Maybe there is a treasure hidden in an inconspicuous book.
"Old Cripple Bookstore."
Chen Lun glanced at the wooden sign and pushed the door open.
An old man sitting behind the counter raised his head and glanced at Chen Lun, not intending to get up.
"Please feel free to do so, but don't get the book dirty or damaged."
He stroked his reading glasses and continued to look down at the tome in his hand.
Chen Lun walked a few steps inside and found that although the bookstore was small, there were many books in it.
The bookcases on three walls are filled with books, and there is a bookcase across the middle. He walked into the innermost part and saw a mini spiral staircase leading to the upper compartment.
Chen Lun looked back at the old man and found that the other man was immersed in reading and didn't pay attention to him at all.
So he walked quietly up the spiral staircase to the upper level.
The place is so cramped and cramped that I can't even stand up straight, I can only bend over.
There is a window on the wall, and the light is not too dim.
Similarly, the bookcases against the wall here are also filled with books. There are even some books that have no place to put them, so they are stacked together and piled in the corner.
"Then let's start here."
Chen Lun nodded with satisfaction.
The greater the base number, the greater the chance that he will find the book containing the "treasure".
Time always passes quietly while reading.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
Chen Lun's attention was suddenly attracted by a familiar voice.
"Mr. Taut, let me return some books."
"Oh, Miss Caroline, if you please...by the way, you look really beautiful today."
Then came Mrs. Caroline's chuckle.
"You're still so funny, Mr. Totter."
"The sun witnesses that I'm just an honest old guy."
Chen Lun put down the books in his hands and walked down the spiral staircase.
Mrs. Caroline was holding two books in her hands and was chatting with the old man wearing glasses behind the counter.
"Hey, little Jack!"
Mrs. Caroline was a little surprised when she saw Chen Lun, and immediately said hello.
"I just went up to look for you, and little Floy said you had gone out. It turns out you were reading here."
She walked over slowly and smiled kindly:
"There is a proverb in my hometown, Amethyst City, that says, 'A man who loves reading is like the sun, even two hands can't cover his light.'"
"Miss Caroline is complimenting you on how dazzling you are, kid."
The old man said from the side.
Mrs. Caroline rolled her eyes at him, but made the old man chuckle.
"Although it's a good thing to love reading, you can't miss the meal... It's just right, we can make it in time when we go back now."
Mrs. Caroline put down the book in her hand and motioned for Chen Lun to leave with her.
Chen Lun glanced at the sky outside and saw that it was already night.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Mrs. Caroline."
"You're so polite, little Jack... By the way, little Floy and I have learned a special dish, which is very suitable for dinner. You can try it later."
"I'm looking forward to it."
The two communicated briefly.
He followed Mrs. Caroline out of the bookstore and walked into the corridor.
But I sighed secretly in my heart.
Unfortunately, he rummaged through all the books in the upper compartment of the bookstore, but could not find any that contained extraordinary knowledge.
Although this was in line with common sense, he still felt a little unhappy after getting nothing today.
"Come and see again tomorrow..." Thanks to the beauties - Gu Chenxinjun, Lian Huan, and Liu Young for their monthly votes, and Wutongshu's reward of 100 book coins
