Chapter 799: h.e.l.lo, Xue Xi
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Xue Xi entered this mall, she realized that it was actually empty.
The huge place was deserted.
She had been here before and was familiar with the surroundings.
The luxury store that Ye Li had once brought her to was also open, but the service staff inside was not there. Perhaps Lu Chao had cleared the place up?
Seeing as there were unlawful criminals here, it was indeed a protocol to disperse the crowd early.
Xue Xi turned around hesitantly. Just as she was about to ask Xiang Huai where the esper was, she heard Canine Teeth’s voice from upstairs. “Boss, Sister Xi, you guys are here? Hurry up and help!”
Without another word, Xue Xi rushed to the second floor.
At this moment, Lu Chao was in a library on the second floor. This library was also a cafe. Ye Li had once said that by ordering a cup of coffee here, one could read books for an entire day.
At that time, Xue Xi was busy with the college entrance examination and did not have the time to come over. When she entered, she suddenly realized that the books on both sides of the cafe were not those romance novels, but books like—”Unsolved Mathematics,” “The Origin of the Universe,” “Matter and Anti-matter,” and so on!
This…
There were actually such good books in this mall?
Xue Xi widened her eyes in surprise. She must find a chance to visit this library in the future. Or how much did this library cost? Could she buy it?
Just as she was thinking this, Xiang Huai chuckled.
Xue Xi turned to look at him and glared. She pouted. “What are you laughing at?!”
Xiang Huai looked left and right as though he was very curious. However, for some unknown reason, Lu Chao, who had originally called the two of them upstairs, had disappeared.
Seeing that Xiang Huai was not in a hurry, Xue Xi was in no hurry to speak. Instead, she walked toward the bookshelf and casually picked up a book. When she opened it, she realized that it was empty.
Xue Xi was stunned. She closed the book again and saw the “Unsolved Mathematics” on the cover. When she opened it again, it was still blank.
Xue Xi: “…”
The corners of her lips twitched as she placed the book on the bookshelf.
Could it be that the books in this cafe were all fake and were here to make themselves look good?
But wasn’t this too much?
At a glance, this row of shelves was filled with similar books…
Ye Li even said that if one ordered a cup of coffee, one could read here for a day. There were only blank pages, though. What would anyone be reading then? Wasn’t this cafe clearly profiteering?
The corners of Xue Xi’s lips twitched. She could not help but walk out of the cafe library. When she turned around, she saw that in the s.p.a.ces where there were usually a few model cars and display figures, what was on display today was… a nerve acid model?
What?
Did she go to the wrong place today?
Xue Xi could not help but look around again, only to realize that there were now people on the first floor. They were coming and going, but their faces were a little familiar. They actually looked like people who had walked through her life…
For example, that salesperson was a little like the girl who had stayed in the same house with her in the orphanage.
Why did the person who bought the ring look a little like a fat girl from the orphanage? She still remembered that when the fat girl was five years old, her dream was to find a man to marry and give birth to a bunch of children. Uh, her stomach did seem to have grown… Moreover, she did not know if it was because she did not notice it just now or something, but only now did she realize that she had three children with her. So, inside the fat girl’s stomach was the fourth?
…It was a little scary!
However, something was amiss. Something was wrong.
Everyone here looked very natural, as though they had always been like this. However, the orphanage was in the countryside, and the children who had been adopted had all gone to different parts of the world. How could they possibly appear in the same mall?!
Xue Xi slowly frowned.
At this moment, a voice sounded behind her. “As expected of you. You actually felt that something was amiss so quickly.”
Xue Xi turned around and saw a slightly plump man standing behind her. He smiled at her. “h.e.l.lo, Xue Xi.”
