A female-oriented system, but the worldview is a little off?

Looks like he's being well taken care of.

——When I walked into the bookstore earlier, I didn’t see the pot of flowers at first because the desk was full of stacked books.

Until now, after the pile of books collapsed.

This small pot of delicate little roses finally emerged from the cover.

Speaking of which, the previous "book collapse" did not affect it, it is surprisingly tenacious.

"Why do you sound like it's normal that this flower is gone?"

Axia has returned to the book she had not finished reading.

She didn't look up, but there seemed to be a hint of dissatisfaction in her calm voice.

"Could it be that, based on your understanding of me, I could have killed the rose you gave me in such a short time?"

She glanced at it sideways and said, "After all, it's a gift from a friend. I took good care of it."

"Ahahaha...how could that be?"

Chu Yan's eyes wandered and he gave an awkward but polite smile.

The tone was quite unsteady.

He stiffly changed the subject: "But I didn't expect that there are varieties of roses that can bloom for more than a month."

"It feels exactly the same as the last time I gave it to you. The flower shop clerk's promotion is more affordable than I thought..."

Look out the bookstore window.

The sky had already darkened slightly at this time.

The afterglow of the setting sun cast shadows of the buildings scattered across the streets.

As the evening breeze blows by, among the passers-by, you can vaguely see the figures of office workers leaving get off work.

Chu Yan packed his bag and put the two borrowed books into it.

He pushed open the door of the bookstore.

Ding bell~

"Oh, right."

Just as he was about to step out of the store, Chu Yan turned around and looked at Axia.

He smiled faintly.

Said: "Although liking to read is a good thing."

"But if you have the chance, you should go out for a walk more often. It's better for your health, right?"

"Next time if there's a chance, how about we go to other bookstores together? We can expand the collection here."

Long before, when Chu Yan became familiar with the bookstore lady, he wanted to exchange their usual contact information.

But Aksia didn't seem to have a mobile phone, so she had to give up.

Considering that in the modern electronic society, it is amazing to have such a large private bookstore and see new books rotating every time you come in...

Perhaps this is what the classic conservative rich people demand of their heirs in terms of family education?

Because of this, the two of them were already very familiar with each other.

But the relationship was limited to daily communication when we visited the bookstore every one or two weeks.

And just now...

I don’t know if Axia herself has noticed it—

This was the first time she admitted it herself.

They are not book friends with a common hobby, nor are they just acquaintances who see each other often... but they have personally said that the relationship between them is "friends".

Chu Yan chuckled and said, "Besides, it would be best if I could buy you a cell phone on the way."

"No matter what, in this day and age, if you don't have a mobile phone, you can't even read novels online, right?"

The voice echoed quietly in the bookstore.

The black-haired girl lowered her head and flipped through the book, then paused for a moment.

Then, she didn't look up.

The flat voice said quietly.

"——Well, I'll think about it."

.......

.....

When the ringing doorbell of the bookstore fell silent.

Axia breathed a sigh of relief.

"have they gone?"

She calmly raised her eyes, her long eyelashes rising calmly - her emerald green eyes looked around the small bookstore that had quieted down again.

——It was a brief moment, a split second, or perhaps it had always been like this.

The previous bookshelves, walls, ceiling and a series of traditional bookstore decorations, and the departed store door.

They have all disappeared without a trace.

Looking forward, the boundless sea of books and whiteness filled the entire space.

Or they are placed on bookshelves that soar into the sky like giant trees.

Or maybe it defies the logic of gravity and floats directly in the empty air, fluttering and tumbling under the invisible force field...

Besides.

There is not a single superfluous object in sight.

Apart from the endless books, there was only endless pure white, filling this empty and dreamy space.

Compared to the previous narrow, small three-story bookstore.

This space at this moment.

It is filled with a pure and fundamental sense of sacredness, like the pinnacle of intellect and the source of truth.

however.

The black-haired girl just raised her eyes for a moment, then looked back at the book as if she was bored.

It's as if...

To her, this sacred and vast space was not as interesting as the narrow bookstore she had seen before.

"Humph... But I never thought that there would be a day when I would make a mistake."

Axia recalled the library card she had touched earlier.

As if she had thought of something interesting, she touched the brim of the witch's hat.

The corner of his mouth curled up.

"When I first saw that shattered thing on him, it was so thin that I thought it was just an ordinary fragment."

"In the past three years, it has completely failed to function as a tool."

"Originally, I thought it was just a small, insignificant fragment, the remnant of a once empty echo..."

Axia whispered with interest.

"As a result, with just such a small part, it actually has the ability to complete itself?"

And originally, even if that thing was just a fragment...

According to the [mechanism] by which it was originally created, and the [power] it wielded during its heyday.

If I could be chosen as its host - it would be impossible for nothing to happen for three consecutive years.

—In its heyday, it was a mystery comparable to the person of this library.

This kind of thing goes against the mechanism for which it was originally created and is contradictory.

It's like using a bow and arrow in close combat, which is completely opposite to its original purpose.

It was meant to be a tool for ultimate evolution.

It's like pure program.

What on earth happened that it could not resist violating its own underlying logic and not issue tasks to the host...

——Even if Chu Yan himself had not refused, it would have tried to let the host live a peaceful and ordinary life?

"How interesting."

"Whether it's the remains of that thing - or you who were able to come to this library, ignoring the influence of the remains of that thing and even changing this world line."

"Although I can't see clearly, it seems that I encountered something last night..."

The girl shook her head with emotion.

"Ha, something that even I can't see clearly..."

"Do you have some special attraction? Why do you always attract things of this level?"

Aksia muttered to herself, rocking her feet gently under the desk.

"Although due to the rules, I cannot take the initiative to tell outsiders about knowledge that will affect the outside world, and I cannot leave this library..."

"But if, one day in the future, he truly steps into this world."

The black-haired girl's eyes were full of brilliance.

Raising the corner of his mouth, he whispered: "I am looking forward to that day."

"That must be an interesting story, right?"

immediately.

The entire space surrounded by the sea of books seemed to have sensed something and ripples began to form again.

".....ah?"

Axia's gaze also turned towards a certain empty place.

She was confused for a while.

Then he opened his eyes wide in sudden realization.

"Oh.....I forgot about it because a certain guy came over unexpectedly."

The emotion on Axia's face returned to being expressionless, like melting spring snow.
