Chapter 1259 · Riverside

After she finished speaking, she felt it was interesting and couldn't help laughing.

This is the first time Guan Bozhou has seen someone who can tell someone in front of someone.

He laughed speechlessly, "If you say that, my mother will definitely like you very much."

The two of them walked for a while talking and laughing. A store appeared in front of them, and the shiny glass window was filled with books.

The gentleman Guan Bozhou opened the door for Bai Rongxuan, "Please."

Bai Rongxuan slowly walked inside.

The store is extremely quiet, with various books listed on the rows of bookshelves.

Bai Rongxuan couldn't help but stare at the bookstore for the first time and she couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise.

Guan Bozhou lowered his voice and said, "Do you have any books you want to read?"

Bai Rongxuan shook her head blankly.

Guan Bozhou smiled slightly, "Then let's take a look."

The two of them slowed down and slowly walked around the bookstore. Bai Rongxuan also saw many foreigners here. They looked at the book attentively and ignored the curious eyes around them.

Bai Rongxuan whispered, "Is this bookstore run by foreigners?"

"That's right." Guan Bozhou said, "The owner here is the pastor of the church, and the income from the bookstore will be used to adopt orphans."

"That's it..." Bai Rongxuan said, "Then you have to buy a few more books."

Guan Bozhou said, "What book do you like? I can give it to you."

Bai Rongxuan walked around and had never even heard of many book titles. She simply shook her head and said, "I'll forget it, I can't even understand the account book, so why are you reading?"

Although the two muttered not loudly, they were still particularly abrupt in the quiet bookstore. An foreigner immediately glared at them unhappily and made a 'shh' gesture.

Bai Rongxuan was so scared that she hurriedly shut her mouth.

Guan Bozhou selected the book and then took Bai Rongxuan out after paying.

Bai Rongxuan took a few breaths happily, "I was so scared that I didn't even dare to breathe. I was so suffocated."

Min Tingke said, "The same is true when I was studying abroad. Foreign bookstores and libraries are extremely quiet. Every time I go in, I have to be careful, for fear of making any noise to alarm others, and even walk quietly."

Bai Rongxuan asked with a smile, “Is it fun to study abroad?”

"What's fun?" Guan Bozhou said lightly, "When people are in a foreign land, they are lonely and helpless, and they have to be looked down upon by others. Life is not easy. Besides, the courses are very tense, and they are really not negligent at all. If they are slack, they will be left with a long distance. It will be difficult to catch up with them."

"That's it..." Bai Rongxuan said, "Then is the place where you study far away from us?"

"Yes." Guan Bozhou said, "The boat has to wander on the sea for more than twenty days, which is very long. For seasick people, it is simply torture. Many people can't even hold on to get off the boat, and they are already..."

He didn't continue to say it, but the regretful expression still made Bai Rongxuan understand instantly.

She whispered, "Why do they want to go abroad? Are they also studying?"

"Not all." Guan Bozhou said, "Most people are trying to find a way out. Foreign countries have just experienced the industrial revolution and have more opportunities."

Bai Rongxuan wondered, "What is the industrial revolution?"

"Uh..." Guan Bozhou said, "This is quite complicated, I'll tell you slowly."

So he seriously introduced the Western Industrial Revolution to Bai Rongxuan.

Bai Rongxuan had a little idea of ​​it, but when she saw Guan Bozhou talking very hard, she couldn't say much to interrupt and could only listen attentively.

The two of them quickly walked a long way.

When Bai Rongxuan realized it, the two of them actually walked on the small road by the river.

Bai Rongxuan said in surprise, "Huh? Why did you come here?" She looked around and wanted to find Wu Jie's figure.

Guan Bozhou said, "Don't panic, I recognize the way, and I will send you back in a while."

Bai Rongxuan felt a little relieved.

Guan Bozhou pointed to the stairs on the bank of the river and said, "Let's sit there and talk."

Bai Rongxuan nodded and agreed.

The two of them came to the riverside and Guan Bozhou took out his handkerchief from his pocket, "Put on the stone steps so that you won't get your pants dirty."

I am not a delicate little girl, so why should I be so scrupulous?

Bai Rongxuan didn't answer, so she simply sat down and said, "When you go out, you don't care so much. Just wash your pants if they are dirty."

Guan Bozhou smiled when he saw this, kept a polite distance from her, and sat down slowly and said, "The last time I met you was by the river, and you said you wanted to treat me to noodles."

"Yes." Bai Rongxuan immediately looked around when she heard the sound, "You ask me to think about where that noodle stall comes from?"

Guan Bozhou said, "Stop looking for it. Eating is also a matter of fate. Why force it?"

Do you still have to rely on fate when eating?

That's too free and easy.

Bai Rongxuan said, "If the fate is not right, what should I do when I am hungry?"

Guan Bozhou said, "Have you discovered such a strange phenomenon - when you try your best to find something, you can't find it no matter how hard you try. But when you don't want to find it, it will appear in front of you all the time."

Are the two talking about the same thing?

Bai Rongxuan looked at the river with a smile without objection.

The sun shines on the water, making every ripples of the endless Huangpu River flow like a golden ribbon. Water birds circling and flying on the river surface, occasionally jumping down quickly, catching the small fish floating on the water surface and flying high with satisfaction. There were whistles sounds from afar, and it seemed that a big ship was about to sail, but I didn't know where it would go.

Bai Rongxuan was distracted from seeing it.

Guan Bozhou did not disturb her, and just sat quietly.

Bai Rongxuan looked at it for a long time, and she sighed in disappointment until the big ship disappeared without a trace.

"What's wrong?" Guan Bozhou asked with concern.

Bai Rongxuan shook her head gently, "It's nothing, I just think that some people on this boat are heading for hope and some are heading for future, but those who stay on the shore can only send their relatives and friends away with sadness. Thinking of this way, it seems that those who leave are happier."

Guanbozhou Road, "No matter how far you go, the boat will return day, and relatives will meet again."

Yes, maybe this is what people often say about "tomorrow"? It represents countless hopes and beauty, carrying and entrusting people's expectations.

The two sat until dusk. Bai Rongxuan came to her senses and said in shock, "Have you been sitting for so long? I'm going back quickly, otherwise my family would be worried."

"Don't be nervous." Guan Bozhou said, "I had signaled someone to inform your servant before, and said that it's safe for you to be with me and he won't worry."

"When did something happen?" Bai Rongxuan looked surprised.

The two of them were together from beginning to end, and Guan Bozhou said everything he had. If he ordered, she would not have been unable to hear it.

Guan Bozhou Road, "Just just now."

He slowly turned his face and looked at the few people not far away, "Did you see them?"

Bai Rongxuan looked at him and saw four middle-aged men standing a hundred meters away from them. Seeing that the two noticed themselves, the four of them lowered their heads at the same time.

"Who are they?" Bai Rongxuan asked curiously.

"My brother sent me to stare at me." Guan Bozhou said, "He may be afraid that I would leave without saying goodbye, so he sent someone to follow me secretly, for the sake of protection, but in fact, it is surveillance."

So that's it.

Seeing that his expression was a little depressed, Bai Rongxuan comforted him, "This is good, Shanghai is not safe, so it's safer to have someone to protect him."
