Chapter 8: Gao Fu Heng Zhi, Meet Each Other

  Walking on the street, watching people coming and going, not a single one stopping for her. Thinking of her in this strange world, alone and without family warmth to warm her drifting and hollow heart. The surrounding people are strangers and cold, making her feel chilly inside, like a hole has been opened in her heart, with wind blowing in, as if playing a desolate tune, leaving a vast emptiness at the bottom of her heart.

  In the dark, Ling Mu Zero gazed at her lonely and desolate icy figure, his heart aching with pity. He thought no one could ever reside in his heart, a man's heart beating only for the sake of family interests. Yet, he felt an inexplicable pang of sorrow and compassion for this person he was determined to protect.

  He wanted to tell her, don't be afraid, don't be lonely, you still have me. But what qualifications does he have to say so? He is just her subordinate, her beauty is not something that can be possessed by him, and her emotions are not something that can be controlled by him. It's not that he doesn't want to, it's just that he doesn't have the qualifications.

  She saw a Chinese bookstore on the street and couldn't help but push open the door and walk in. The store was very clean and tidy, but also very quiet, probably because there were not many people in Japan who could speak Chinese, so there were few customers.

  The shop owner was a 17 or 18-year-old boy who looked quite clean and tidy, making it hard to imagine that he was the one running the place. Upon hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, he lifted his head and saw Lin Mu Xiang, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, followed by a gentle smile. "Miss, what can I help you with?" This kind of girl was quite special, making him feel an inexplicable fondness for her.

  She glanced around the store with a faint smile and turned to him, "I want to buy some good-looking Chinese books, what do you recommend?"

  "Miss, can you speak Chinese?" The shop owner asked curiously. After all, it's rare to have such a customer in Japan, and he opened this store just out of interest.

  Ling Mu nodded slightly. She had nothing to be ashamed of.

  "What kind of books do you like to read?" The shop owner asked gently.

  "It's all good, as long as it looks good" I read whatever books I want, after all, one should be well-read.

  The shop owner was stunned, then suddenly enlightened. A girl like this must have read a lot of books. He took out his treasured Chinese book and handed it to her, "This is what I want you to see, it's pretty good."

  She handed the book over to him, "Thanks, if there's any good books in the future, you can contact me, this is my number" and wrote her phone number on a piece of paper, handing it to him. She thought that making friends with someone who speaks Chinese might not be bad.

  The shop owner took over the note, and read "Lin Xiangruo". What a nice name. He didn't expect her to leave contact information, it was his honor to be friends with someone like her.

  He also wrote his contact information for her as a courtesy.

  Akane Kaito walked out of the bookstore with a book in hand, holding up the piece of paper that read "Koufuku Haruka..."

  Someone came to help her carry the books home, and she started wandering again. Because of that bookstore just now, her heart had a little warmth, and she wandered with some interest.

  Tachibana and Echizen are quite good friends in the Seishun Academy tennis club. As soon as their club activities end, they come to the street to eat together, with Tachibana, being the tall one, 'bullying' Echizen, the short one, by putting his arm around his shoulders and pushing him forward, rushing recklessly. They almost ran into someone in front of them, but fortunately, their athletic instincts were quick enough to stop themselves immediately. After stopping, they bowed 90 degrees to apologize to the person they almost crashed into: "Sorry, we didn't mean to!"

  Her mind, which had been startled by them, slowly calmed down. She had just been too absorbed in watching and hadn't noticed what was ahead. Looking at the familiar figure before her eyes, she let out a sigh. Is this the law of transmigration? To meet the protagonist so soon?

  "It's okay, it's not your fault" I also have something wrong. Moreover, for the main characters of Prince of Tennis, she is still quite tolerant.

  Taicheng and Echizen looked up at the girl standing in front of them with a pleasant voice.
