Chapter 266: See you in the next year
After hearing the answer, Mu Wuchen's eyes softened a bit, and he still looked at the paper-cut wall.
Gu Xiaoyou saw that he was looking at it seriously: "Is there any pattern you like? If you like it, just take it off and I'll give it to you."
"No need, I already have the most beautiful one." Mu Wuchen withdrew his gaze and replied calmly.
Gu Xiaoyou was stunned for a moment, and then she understood what he meant after reacting. Her cheeks felt hot, and she pulled her sleeves uncomfortably: "Then I'll cut it into a better-looking one and give it to you later."
"Okay, I'm looking forward to it." Mu Wuchen responded lightly, with an unnoticeable joy in his tone.
After the words fell, the two people suddenly became quiet. It was not an awkward silence, but a bit strange atmosphere.
Gu Xiaoyou was the first to break the silence and coughed lightly: "Well, there's nothing to see here. I'll take you to other shops."
After saying that, she turned around and left, regardless of whether Mu Wuchen heard her words or not, and whether he followed her or not.
Mu Wuchen looked at her back amusedly, then he opened his long legs and walked to Gu Xiaoyou's side in a few steps.
The two of them then visited Youlian Business Card Shop, the two shops of Youlian Paper Shop, and finally came to Jiumen Bookstore.
In the book club, Gu Xiaoyou introduced to Mu Wuchen: "This is your first time in the book club. The original decoration has been changed a lot, and some more tables and chairs have been added."
Mu Wuchen looked at it for a few times and commented, "The layout here is very interesting."
It looks like a book club and a private school, and there are also weird column-shaped bookshelves. Although it is a bit strange, it is not obtrusive overall, and it adds a lot to the book club's appearance.
The two of them walked around the book club. Mu Wuchen noticed the red-brown wooden door in the book club and asked curiously: "Where does this door lead to?"
"This door..." Gu Xiaoyou subconsciously wanted to answer, but suddenly remembered that although her door had been opened, no one knew the secret of the shop next door, so the door had to remain mysterious.
She pulled on Mu Wuchen's sleeve: "Lower your head."
Mu Wuchen lowered his head in confusion. Gu Xiaoyou stood on tiptoes and whispered into his ear: "Behind this door is a copy shop. The books here are all delivered from the back."
Gu Xiaoyou almost whispered into his ear, and his warm breath brushed against Mu Wuchen's ears.
He moved his ears uncomfortably and listened to Gu Xiaoyou finish what he said.
Gu Xiaoyou quickly finished the whisper, and finally added: "You have to keep it a secret."
"Yeah." Mu Wuchen responded, quickly straightened up, raised his hand to touch his hair, and asked with a natural expression: "What is the book you edited last time that you mentioned last time?"
"Ah, you're talking about marriage..." Gu Xiaoyou abruptly stopped talking and said nonsensically: "That book is out of date and has been removed from the shelves a long time ago."
"Really?" Mu Wuchen asked doubtfully.
"Of course, why did I lie to you?" Gu Xiaoyou argued guiltily.
Mu Wuchen raised his eyebrows, walked straight to the counter, and asked the waiter: "What is the best book you sell here?"
"I can't say." Gu Xiaoyou hurriedly went to stop her, but unfortunately it was too late. The clerk had already reported the name of "Marriage Warning".
Gu Xiaoyou still stretched out his hand and opened his eyes, turning it into an emoticon.
A smile flashed in Mu Wuchen's eyes: ""Marriage Warning" is a good name."
As he said that, he took a few glances at the bookshelf and saw a shelf full of "Marriage Warning".
The book was obviously selling well. In the time it took Mu Wuchen to look at it, four or five people had already taken the book from the bookshelf.
He strolled to the bookshelf and raised his hand to take the book. Gu Xiaoyou quickly stood between him and the bookshelf, making a final struggle.
"This book is not suitable for you at all. There are new martial arts stories in the book club. I recommend you to read that one."
The more Gu Xiaoyou blocked it, the more interested Mu Wuchen became. He raised his arm and easily took a book from Gu Xiaoyou's head: "No need, occasionally read something fresh."
As he said that, he opened the book and flipped through it.
Seeing that the situation was over, Gu Xiaoyou covered his face in pain.
As soon as Mu Wuchen opened the book, he noticed the author's name and said playfully: "Lady Youlian? It's you..."
Gu Xiaoyou quickly covered his mouth and said in a low voice: "Shh, don't say it."
Mu Wuchen immediately glared at her with displeasure in his eyes.
"Don't be angry. As long as you don't say anything, I will let go." Gu Xiaoyou opened his watery eyes, full of pleading.
Mu Wuchen nodded gently, and Gu Xiaoyou immediately put down his hand and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, it was just a matter of urgency."
"Well, why can't you say it?" Mu Wuchen asked, raising his eyebrows.
Gu Xiaoyou glanced around with a strange expression and pulled Mu Wuchen's sleeve.
Mu Wuchen lowered his head in cooperation, and Gu Xiaoyou leaned into his ear and explained in a low voice: "I didn't write that, but I named it."
She explained the whole story innocently, and a hint of amusement flashed in Mu Wuchen's eyes.
"So that's it, you must keep it a secret." Gu Xiaoyou clasped his hands together and begged pitifully.
"Okay, I won't say anything." Mu Wuchen couldn't resist her plea and nodded in agreement.
"You are such a good person." Gu Xiaoyou said gratefully.
The good man Mu Wuchen secretly raised the corners of his lips and continued to flip through the book. After reading a few pages, he closed the book and put it back on the shelf.
"I just said it's not suitable for you to watch." Gu Xiaoyou muttered.
"Not really." Mu Wuchen thought for a while and said, "This story... is very innovative."
"Forget it, there's no need to force your praise." Gu Xiaoyou slumped his shoulders and waved his hand, as if he had given up on treatment: "There is nothing to see in the book club, let's go."
"Okay." A smile flashed across Mu Wuchen's eyes, and he left the hospital with Gu Xiaoyou, who was "heartbroken."
Gu Xiaoyou took Mu Wuchen to visit several workshops and mysterious copy shops.
After closing the door of the last workshop, Gu Xiaoyou said: "This is the current lineup of shops and workshops on the street. Is the big boss behind the scenes satisfied?"
In just a few months, half of the street's shops were opened. Mu Wuchen said sincerely: "It's very good. You did a good job."
"When the Chinese New Year comes, calculate the profits and then praise me properly." Gu Xiaoyou raised a smile and said confidently.
"You are quite confident."
"Of course I have confidence. I have been the richest man." Gu Xiaoyou said proudly: "Although it is a small county, I am also the richest man."
"We'll see in the next year, Boss Gu, the richest man in Qingcheng County." Mu Wuchen said with a hint of ridicule.
