Arikos frowned at Archmage's inaction. The young librarian wanted to say something, but when he looked at Lolo, who was diligently searching for information, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Forget it. He didn't know the relationship between this braggart and the girl, but compared to the two of them, he was just an outsider. Arikos knew that no matter how dissatisfied he was with Zhang Heng's behavior, this was not the time for him to reprimand him. However, the young librarian still coughed twice, trying to remind the girl that her companion was slacking off.
However, it was Rob who reacted first. Archmage had just picked up his cup, and when he heard Arikos's cough, an apologetic look appeared on his face. "Oh, I forgot. We haven't given you anything to drink, right?
"Drink mine, I'm not thirsty." Lolo didn't even raise her head as she pushed the untouched cup of coffee in front of her to the young librarian.
Arikos's face immediately turned red, and he looked indescribably awkward. His coughing was intended to let the girl know that the braggart was slacking off, but he didn't expect to be misunderstood as an indirect reminder for the two of them to buy him a drink. The cup of coffee was originally Lolo's, but now it seemed like he snatched it from the girl. The young librarian was already very thin-skinned, and now it was as if he had snatched it from the girl. Arikos was ashamed and angry at the same time. In his heart, he had already determined that Rob said that on purpose just to divert attention and embarrass him.
This guy was too despicable. Not only did he make up for the fact that he was slacking off, but he also successfully tarnished his image in the girl's mind. How could a person be so shameless?! The more Arikos thought about it, the angrier he got, and the more annoying he became in his eyes.
If Archmage could know how many thoughts flashed through the young librarian's mind in such a short period of time, he would probably be overwhelmed by the rich imagination of the young librarian.
In fact, Rob was really innocent. He just heard Alex cough and noticed that he didn't have anything to drink, so he wanted to help him order a drink to moisten his throat.
No matter why the young librarian showed hostility towards him, he was still here to help. Your Honor as a future Supreme Magister still had this bit of magnanimity.
After drinking the coffee, the Archmage noticed that Arikos's gaze towards him seemed to be even more hostile.
That's strange. Does this guy hate the coffee brewed in the library so much? Rob picked up his cup and took a sip. Hmm, the taste was quite normal. So what was the problem? Why did it seem like he could attract hatred every time he opened his mouth?
Fortunately, the young librarian only gave him a hateful look before turning his eyes back to the book in his hand. Arikos had already figured it out. No matter what, he was no match for that despicable and cunning guy in a quarrel. The only thing he could do now was to defeat him in the field of reading that he was so proud of. He would use facts to prove to the girl that the guy named Rob was just a person who liked to talk but had no action at all.
When people had motivation, they could further stimulate their potential. Arikos's reading speed was far beyond that of ordinary people. Now that he had made up his mind, he devoted himself to reading. His attention was unprecedentedly focused, and his reading efficiency became more and more amazing.
With a goal in mind, the librarian put all his energy into the book. Arikos felt as if he had entered a wonderful state. The words in front of his eyes turned into chapters of music, and as long as he glanced at them casually, they would naturally play in his mind. Now, Arikos was reading as if he were listening to a concert in a concert. Not only could he read ten lines at a glance, but he also didn't feel tired at all. At this speed, it might take him only two days to finish the whole Chronicle of Gudilesi.
Such a talent was rare even in Gudilesi College, where there were many scholars. The young librarian did have something to be proud of.
However, just as Arikos was getting into a good mood and was swimming in the sea of books, he suddenly heard the sound of flipping pages.
To be fair, the sound of the person flipping pages was not too loud, but at this time, it was particularly harsh to Arikos. The state he was in before was actually very rare. Not only did he need to be completely calm, without any distracting thoughts in his mind, but he also needed a little bit of luck to be able to enter the state. Unfortunately, this state only lasted for less than ten minutes before it was interrupted by the hateful sound of flipping pages.
When Arikos realized that the person who flipped through the book was none other than Rob, who had 'framed' him not long ago, he couldn't control the rage in his heart any longer and stood up from his seat.
The young librarian pointed at Archmage's nose and said angrily, "You're deliberately looking for trouble, aren't you?!"
？？？
The future Supreme Magus was baffled. If the coffee incident was considered as a trigger, he hadn't said a single word since then. Yet, he managed to infuriate the young librarian. Luo Bu couldn't help but admire his ability to attract hatred.
However, Archmage's patience was almost at an end. Previously, he did not want to lower himself to Arikos's level because he was here to help, but it turned out that this kid obviously did not know when to stop.
Just when Rob was about to warn Arikos, Lolo had already stood up.
The girl closed the book in her hand. Her clear eyes were filled with undisguised disappointment. "Arikos, your behavior just now was really rude. Although we are grateful that you sacrificed your working hours to help us, it does not mean that you can use this gratitude to do whatever you want. People should respect each other. If you still want to be friends with us, I hope you can sincerely apologize to my companions."
After being together for so long, this was the first time Rob saw the rookie The Brave had such a serious expression on his face, and it was because he was defending him over a small matter. No matter how much time he spent with Luo, the Great Sorcerer always seemed to be able to discover something about her that surprised him.
"I …" Arikos was speechless. In fact, he had already regretted what he said earlier. There was no way to explain this kind of thing. However, he was angry at that time and it was too late for him to take back his words.
In the face of the girl's harsh criticism, he could naturally choose to walk away, but that was not the situation that the young librarian really wanted to see. And it was even more difficult for him to apologize to someone. Arikos's impression of Luo Bu had already fallen to the bottom of the valley. Wanting him to apologize to someone was worse than killing him.
