Chapter 047

Yu Shu threw out those words and stormed out the door in a fit of anger.

The live stream audience frustratedly spammed the same message.

[Yan Jin, all you know is eating!]

Yu Shu hastily ran out of the house, only to realize he didn’t know where to go. He wandered aimlessly on the street for a while when suddenly someone called out to him.

“Young Master Yu, please wait a moment.” Yu Shu looked up and saw it was the shop assistant from the other bookstore he had visited with Yan Jin last time.

Yu Shu asked, “Is something the matter?”

The shop assistant smiled, “The books Miss Yan ordered before have arrived. I haven’t seen Miss Yan these past few days. Since I happened to run into you today, Young Master Yu, would you consider bringing them back for Miss Yan?”

When did Xiao Xiao order books? Yu Shu was puzzled but still walked towards the bookstore.

“What books did she order from you?” Yu Shu took the thick stack of books, but since they were tightly wrapped, he didn’t know what was inside. “Why are there so many?”

Hearing Yu Shu’s question, the shopkeeper laughed, “These are all books Miss Yan ordered for you, Young Master Yu.”

“She bought them for me?” Yu Shu pointed at himself in surprise.

“Yes.” The shopkeeper nodded with a smile, “Previously, Miss Yan ordered the popular storybooks from the capital at our store. Since we are far from the capital, it took over half a month for the books to be delivered.”

The shopkeeper sighed, “Right now in the entire Yongning County, aside from those large bookstores, the storybooks in smaller bookstores probably can’t compare to the freshness of this stack of storybooks Miss Yan bought for you.”

The shop assistant joked, “Although they can’t compare to the peach wine of our Yongning County, these storybooks are all the rage in the capital. Young Master Yu, if you take them out, who knows how many young masters who love reading storybooks will envy you.”

Yu Shu suddenly remembered something he had casually mentioned not long ago.

‘I’ve finished reading the storybooks in Yongning County. If there’s a chance, I want to read the writings of this era.’

Yu Shu stroked the stack of books, feeling conflicted.

He had just mentioned it in passing, yet Yan Jin bought him such a large pile of books.

Yan Jin had wanted to chase after him, but thinking of what had just happened, she was worried and poked the system.

If I chase after him now, will Yuanyuan misunderstand that I have feelings for him?

The system concisely replied with one phrase.

[Most likely.]

After getting the system’s answer, Yan Jin returned to her room to continue reading the book she hadn’t finished last night.

Yuanyuan probably wants to be alone right now, so she won’t chase after him. Staying at home to read is also nice.

[So infuriating, Yan Jin, why aren’t you chasing after him? You blockhead!] [Although reason tells me Yan Jin has the right to refuse, they are really so well-suited for each other. It’s such a pity if they don’t get together.] [Before, there was a fortune-telling message saying Yu Shu’s love life would be rocky. I didn’t believe it then, but now I do. No wonder Yu Shu’s love life is rocky if he falls for Yan Jin.]

But today, Yan Jin had a hard time reading. She held the book for a long time but couldn’t get through one page.

Unable to continue reading, Yan Jin closed the book, got up, and walked out the door.

[Host Yan Jin is not reading anymore?]

Yan Jin wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but she seemed to detect a hint of teasing in the system’s emotionless electronic voice.

I’m not. I can’t stop worrying about Yuanyuan.

Although Yongning County had good public security, it was still a female-dominated society. Yan Jin was worried that if Yu Shu ran out the door in emotional turmoil, bad people might target him.

[But if you go out now, Host Yu Shu will misunderstand.]

The most important thing now is to find Yu Shu. As for misunderstandings, they can be explained later.

[If Yan Jin doesn’t plan to be with Yu Shu, severing all his hopes is the best way, but Yan Jin just won’t do that.] [Actually, Yan Jin rationally knows this should be done, but emotionally just can’t help worrying about Yu Shu.] [Frankly, they clearly have mutual feelings for each other, but still won’t get together despite all this. Do I really need to bring the civil affairs bureau here?!]

Yan Jin was decisive by nature. Once she decided to go, she left without any hesitation.

As soon as Yan Jin walked out of Anping Lane, she saw Yu Shu from a distance, carrying a stack of books and walking with a heavy heart.

Originally, Yan Jin was worried about Yu Shu. Even if it might lead to misunderstandings later, Yan Jin still put down her book to go find him.

But seeing Yu Shu’s red eyes, as if he had been crying, Yan Jin didn’t dare approach.

[Host Yan Jin, why aren’t you going over?]

He cried. Yan Jin responded to the system in her mind: How can I go over at a time like this?

[Isn’t this the perfect opportunity for you to console Host Yu Shu and reconcile?]
