But the key point is that the sheer thickness of the book truly surprised Xu Fan.

If you look closely, it's definitely over three hundred pages. When the hell will I ever finish reading this?

Xu Fan subconsciously checked the time; there were only about three hours left until the forty-eight-hour period ended.

That means I have to finish reading all the books in three hours, which is really quite impossible.

Besides, that book was really too thick.

Looking at "Cobino's Musical Rhythm," Chen Yuanyuan asked Xu Fan, "Is it this thick?"

Xu Fan shook his head and said, "I didn't expect it to be this thick either."

Chen Yuanyuan subconsciously took out her phone and glanced at the second text message Xia Ziling had sent, then said, "Could it be fake?"

"fake?"

Chen Yuanyuan said seriously, "How can it be so thick?"

This statement expresses doubt, but if it were a fake, how could it be so thick?

Frank said, "You'll see when you open it. It's thick, but there's not much inside."

Upon hearing this, Xu Fan subconsciously opened the book. Apart from the title on the cover being completely correct, the rest was the content.

The first page is a picture of a small town, which, if I'm not mistaken, should be Cobino.

Turning to the second page, Xu Fan found a picture of a huge guitar, stuck diagonally in the ground, surrounded by a very beautiful fence, seemingly a scenic spot.

Frank said, "That's right, one of the iconic buildings in the town of Cobino."

Turning the page again, there was a beautiful musical note, but upon closer inspection, it was still a photo of a particular building. Chen Yuanyuan laughed and said, "So 'The Musical Rhythm of Cobino' is a collection of photos. No wonder there's only one copy."

Frank shook his head and said, "That's not the case. You can continue to see."

Xu Fan picked it up subconsciously and flipped through a few more pages. He finally saw the text: a string of English letters, the general meaning of which was quite simple.

The most wonderful things need to be experienced, but what we experience is often the least wonderful thing.

This sentence was a bit convoluted, but for some reason, Xu Fan vaguely understood its meaning. Frank said, "Every sentence here is a lyric or a melody, which is why it's called musical rhythm."

After flipping through a few more pages, Xu Fan nodded seriously and said, "If I have the chance, I really want to visit this town of Cobino."

Frank said, "I think I can be a guide."

Xu Fan declined, saying, "No need, thank you."

Frank was slightly embarrassed but didn't say anything. Xu Fan started turning the pages again. Chen Yuanyuan, who was next to him, didn't look at the book but instead sent a message to Xia Ziling, asking where she was.

But for some reason, Xia Ziling disappeared again and didn't reply to him.

A staff member finished drafting the contract and delivered it. Chen Yuanyuan stood up to apologize, then left the concert hall and dialed Xia Ziling's number, but no one answered.

Actually, adults don't need to worry too much, because everyone has their own way of thinking. But for some reason, Chen Yuanyuan felt that something was wrong today, so she subconsciously worried about Xia Ziling.

Moreover, for some reason, Xia Ziling could never get through on the phone, which made her even more nervous.

After making several calls to no avail, Chen Yuanyuan felt she had to go and look for Lingling herself. Feeling anxious, she returned to the concert hall and saw Xu Fan had just finished signing the contract. She said, "Xu Fan, I'm going to go find Lingling. Are you coming?"

Xu Fan nodded and said, "Together."

With everything settled, he left with the thick book, "The Musical Rhythm of Cobino."

Of course, before that, Frank transferred ten million pounds to him without hesitation.

Chen Yuanyuan was carrying a backpack and walking rather quickly.

Xu Fan knew that Chen Yuanyuan was worried about Xia Ziling, so he said, "Didn't I just send you a message? She should be fine."

As Chen Yuanyuan walked, she said, "I'm still a little worried. I kept calling her, but she didn't answer."

"Perhaps the signal is bad."

"Maybe, but I still want to go and see."

A taxi drove by and stopped in front of the two of them.

Lant Winnie opened the window, smiled gently, and said, "Mr. Xu, we meet again?"

Xu Fan's expression remained unchanged as he said, "Ms. Winnie, it's you again."

Even so, I always had a different feeling in my heart.

After arriving in the Kingdom of Gran, I met this woman named Lant Winnie for the first time, and then I ran into her again the second time I went to the bank to withdraw some money.

Winnie even said at the time that they would meet again.

Today, they did indeed meet again.

Chen Yuanyuan asked with some doubt, "Do you know each other?"

Winnie said with a smile, "Mr. Xu once rode in my car."

Xu Fan nodded without explaining, but his mind was still full of doubts.

The two got into the car, and Winnie asked in a friendly manner, "Where are you going?"

Chen Yuanyuan gave the address, and the taxi sped off towards the town of Cobino.

Xia Ziling is not in a good condition.

I slumped down by the roadside, leaning against a utility pole, feeling utterly exhausted.

Her face was pale, and her dress was wet and dirty.

It was like falling into a mud pit or a puddle; she looked terrible. She was still holding the book in her arms, leaning against the telephone pole, wiping the water stains and dirt off the book with her skirt.

Tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly held them back.

She suddenly looked up at the sky. The sky wasn't very blue; it was rather gloomy. It didn't look like it was going to rain, and it wasn't a pretty sight either.

She didn't like it because it was gloomy.

She glanced into the distance again, almost unconsciously.

The town of Cobino was in the distance; she had just come from there.

He walked out of the town library with a book in his hand.

But damn it, in order to speed things up, I thought of taking a shortcut and bypassed the main road, heading towards a small path by the river.

Yes, she admitted that she had courted disaster by falling into the pool.

She hated herself for being unable to do anything right, and her initially happy mood suddenly turned sour.

My phone fell into the water and I can't find it anymore.

There were very few people in this small town, so she felt extremely lonely, especially with the coldness spreading through her body.

Yes, it was that gust of wind, that strange whirlwind, that suddenly appeared while she was walking, and then she fell into the water.

It was like luck, like it was destined.

She felt so sad she wanted to cry, but being alone, she could only muster her courage.

Looking at the book that had fallen into the water, she knew it was important, so she tried hard to wipe it dry, but it seemed impossible to get it dry.

She became increasingly upset, and just then, a taxi suddenly stopped in front of her, and two people got out.

Chen Yuanyuan ran up to Xia Ziling, and asked with some surprise and worry, "Lingling, are you alright? How are you?"

Xu Fan was also slightly startled, and couldn't help but regret that he had wasted time earlier, so he quickly walked over as well.

The moment she saw Chen Yuanyuan, she felt an overwhelming urge to cry.

But when she saw Xu Fan, she held back, staring wide-eyed and asking, "Why are you here?"

Get the perfect music system at the start

===Chapter 97 A Touch of Doubt===

Xia Ziling was really sad, but she was also very strong.

Tears were clearly welling up in her eyes, but she still forced a smile.

Hearing this, Chen Yuanyuan felt extremely sad. She looked at the pool beside her and carefully hugged her, saying, "It's alright now, let's go back quickly."

Xu Fan also asked, "Should we go to the hospital?"

Xia Ziling shook her head vigorously, then revealed a smile that looked more like a grimace.

Then she wanted to give the book, which she had tried so hard to dry but couldn't, to Xu Fan.

But just then, she noticed that Xu Fan was holding a book in his hand.

The title above is "The Musical Rhythm of Cobino".

She felt terrible at that moment, but she gritted her teeth and instinctively hid the book behind her back, saying, "It's okay, I'm fine. I just fell into a puddle and got wet."

Just then, the taxi driver Winnie came over and said, "If you're free, come to the car and change my clothes."

Winnie was holding a long dress, which looked like her own. Chen Yuanyuan smiled and thanked her, then pulled Xia Ziling toward a taxi.

Xu Fan took a few steps, and Winnie, standing beside him, smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, would you like to go and take a look?"

Xu Fan was slightly embarrassed and explained, "I'm just a little worried."

Xia Ziling hid the book behind her back, and then hid it in front of her when she turned her back to Xu Fan.

Chen Yuanyuan was about to exclaim when she saw this scene, but Xia Ziling stopped her.

Chen Yuanyuan asked in confusion, "You found the book?"

Xia Ziling nodded, but then shook her head and said, "But I saw that Xu Fan also found it, so let's just pretend I didn't find it."

"That won't do! You've found him! And you've done so much for him..."

"Oh, I'm fine. I just accidentally fell into the water. It's no big deal."

Chen Yuanyuan still couldn't quite understand Xia Ziling's thinking. This girl was as stubborn, as willful, and as... as ever.

Chen Yuanyuan couldn't find the words to describe this silly girl at this moment, a girl who clearly wanted to cry but stubbornly tried to smile. Looking at Xia Ziling's pale face, Chen Yuanyuan was very worried.

In the taxi, Xia Ziling changed into Winnie's clothes, which looked a bit too big.

Winnie looks a bit heavier, after all, she has children.

Xia Ziling's face was still a little pale, but it looked much better than before.
