## Chapter 42 Searching the Entire County for a Book

When Lu Shiyuan returned to the room, Lin Yangyang was already admiring Ningning’s drawing.

Looking at the simple landscape painting she had done with watercolors, Lu Shiyuan couldn’t help but move closer.

“You finally decided to buy Ningning watercolors.”

After speaking, Lu Shiyuan returned to bed.

Lin Yangyang turned her head to look, smelled a refreshing scent from him, and smiled as she asked, “Did you brush your teeth?”

“…Being hygienic is what you said, right?” He cleared his throat, turned around and lay on his back facing her.

Lin Yangyang’s heart suddenly filled with a surge of joy.

This man, actually wasn’t so bad.

It’s just that, why didn’t he want to brush his teeth and wash his feet when the original owner asked him to, but now he takes the initiative?

Seeing him lie down and remain still, Lin Yangyang didn’t want to disturb his rest, so she also lay down and turned off the lamp.

Lin Yangyang felt a little nervous, afraid that he would suddenly pounce on her in the dark.

In the end, even Lu Shiyuan’s slightest movement startled her, and she quickly covered herself with the blanket.

The dimly lit room, the atmosphere inexplicably became a little ambiguous.

Lu Shiyuan felt her actions, and couldn’t help but frown slightly, “What do you mean?”

“I, I don’t mean anything…”

“Although I don’t know characters, I know what a promise means! Don’t be so nervous, last night… I was just too angry.”

Oh? Because he was angry, so he went crazy and tortured her?

What kind of logic was that!

Lin Yangyang decided to ignore him, turned around and continued to sleep facing away from him.

A moment later, Lu Shiyuan’s voice came from behind her.

“Can you teach me the sign language you taught Ningning?”

Hearing this, Lin Yangyang turned around in surprise…

He was right behind her, when she turned around, she happened to meet his gaze at close range.

The atmosphere became even more ambiguous.

“You…” It was good that the lighting was dim, otherwise, she would definitely see the blush on her face, “Why, do you want to learn?”

Lu Shiyuan was just a rough man, it didn’t mean he was immune to ambiguity.

Looking at this face so close, Lu Shiyuan couldn’t help but swallow, his hand in the blanket had already clenched into a fist.

“You and Jiayan both know sign language, you can chat with Ningning, don’t you think it’s unfair that I’m the only one who doesn’t understand?”

Rolling her big eyes, Lin Yangyang nodded in agreement, “Sorry, it was my oversight. Well, I’ll teach you tomorrow too.”

Looking at her faint smile, Lu Shiyuan’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, he stared at her, and after a moment, he responded, then turned around and faced away from her again.

“It’s late, go to sleep.”

Lin Yangyang blinked in confusion, why did this man’s emotions seem a little erratic?

The next day, when Lin Yangyang got up, it was nine o’clock, the two children had already been sent to daycare.

And today, there was finally hot millet porridge, sweet potatoes, and corn in the pot.

Although it was simple, it was still a nutritious breakfast.

The important thing was that he was no longer angry, he finally left breakfast for her.

Lin Yangyang secretly enjoyed her breakfast, changed into a fresh dress, and went out.

Seeing her dressed up beautifully again and going out, the military wives outside couldn’t help but gossip.

Some even deliberately said things to her, but Lin Yangyang ignored them all, and it didn’t affect her beautiful mood at all.

Today, she was going to the library to find a book!

She was really embarrassed to say certain things last night, but she had thought of a good solution, which was to find a comic book and throw it to Lu Shiyuan to read thoroughly, then he should understand what it meant to be gentle and considerate.

However, the folk customs of this era were very simple, and the comic book she was looking for, Jin Meimei… was relatively difficult to find!

She went to all the libraries in the county, and when she mentioned the name of the book, everyone felt awkward and blushed.

Finally, she found the last bookstore in the county.

“What? Jin Meimei? This… Miss, you, what are you looking for this book for? This kind of indecent book, where can it be sold openly?”

Hearing this, Lin Yangyang’s eyes lit up.

“So, brother, you can sell it secretly, right?”

The brother’s face turned red.

This girl was really beautiful, and thinking about it, which decent girl would go around looking for such a romantic book? Even a comic book?!

The man immediately imagined Lin Yangyang as that kind of frivolous woman.

“Miss, you look so beautiful, what do you want that book for?”

Hearing the man’s suggestive tone, Lin Yangyang frowned.

He wasn’t the first person to look at her with that kind of look today.

It was all her fault, she was looking everywhere for this book, and it made many people think she was that kind of woman who couldn’t be seen in the light of day.

“I heard that book is good for harmonizing marital life, I want to take my relationship with my husband to the next level, so I want to find this book.”

Fortunately, she had already thought up an excuse, as soon as she said it, the man paused, his face becoming even more awkward.

He cleared his throat and shook his head, “Sorry, little sister-in-law, we don’t have this book.”

“The store doesn’t have it, but do you have it privately?” Lin Yangyang asked with a smile, then whispered, “I can pay for it. If you’re reluctant, I can also pay to rent it for a week.”

Who wouldn’t want money?

“Sorry, little sister-in-law, I do have a Jin Meimei, but it’s a book, not a comic book.”

Jin Ping Mei…

“What a pity.”

It was truly a pity, because Lu Shiyuan couldn’t read, even if he flipped through the book, he wouldn’t know what was in it.

Just as Lin Yangyang was about to leave in disappointment, the man’s voice rang out again.

“Little sister-in-law, do you really want to find a comic book?”

As if seeing hope, Lin Yangyang quickly turned around, smiled and nodded at the man, “If you have it, I can pay a high price to rent it for a week! If your friend has it, I can also give you a reward!”

After speaking, Lin Yangyang quickly took out fifty cents from her pocket and handed it to him.

The man’s eyes lit up.

This was a quick fifty cents!

“To be honest, I happen to have a friend who has a Jin Meimei comic book. Well… let’s do this, you come back tomorrow, and I’ll help you borrow it.”

Meaning, the man would borrow the comic book from his friend in his own name, and then lend it to her.

Then, whatever Lin Yangyang paid, he would keep.

Lin Yangyang didn’t care what kind of schemes the man was playing, the most important thing now was to get the comic book.

She had walked all over the county today, she was almost exhausted and dying of heat, she had finally found one… she would do anything!

Lin Yangyang agreed with the man, then went home with a satisfied heart.
