"Rest? Do I look that useless to you? "
Yue Sefu snorted, but the owner of the bookstore in front of him didn't have any evil intentions according to the knight's "justice" holy seal. The favorability he gave to a stubborn old knight was not just a little bonus.
At the very least, it rose from indifference to friendliness.
And the other party's casual and equal attitude made him feel a rare desire to chat for some reason.
Perhaps it was because after becoming a glorious grand knight, it had been too long since anyone dared to be so casual with him.
Anyway, the person in front of him was just an ordinary person who didn't know anything. He didn't need to put on the airs of a superior or senior.
Lin Jie shook his head and said sincerely, "Of course not, it's just that … the recent rainy weather has a big impact on your joints. Your sleeping situation should be very difficult. I feel that you are a little tired, and your complexion is a little pale."
Most old people of this age should have problems with sleep and rheumatism, and he slightly noticed that the other party's left and right hands were uncoordinated.
That kind of mental exhaustion was not obvious, but it was not difficult for Lin Jie, who was good at observation, to notice.
"I think you spent a lot of effort to find Mr. Wang Erde, right?"
Lin Jie sighed and said, "I'm really happy for your great friendship."
Yue Sefu's right hand, which was wearing a leather glove, moved slightly, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
How could this bookstore owner … No, it should be a coincidence.
But why did he feel that these three keywords, "joint," "sleep," and "Wilde", when put together, had a profound and meaningful feeling?
And from the words "great friendship," there was a kind of sarcasm?
But it didn't seem to mean anything. After all, he was the one who said that he and Wang Erde had a deep friendship.
Yue Sefu's expression became a little complicated and said, "I'm not an old man. How can the rainy weather affect my joints? Also, my complexion is not bad because of this … As for letting me read books, that's not necessary. I didn't bring any money."
Lin Jie saw that although he said that, he reached out and sat down on a stool. He shook his head in his heart.
Seriously, the moment he opened his mouth, he knew that he was an old tsundere.
Lin Jie pushed the tea over and said, "There's no charge for reading in the bookstore, but it's only limited to the area behind me. Have a cup of tea to warm yourself up."
"Perhaps I can convey your message to Mr. Wang Erde."
Yue Sefu took the cup and took a sip. He was not used to the taste of the tea leaves. He frowned and shook his head. "No need. I'll leave after sitting for a while."
While he was frowning, he felt a headache coming on again.
Damn, it's really … getting more and more frequent.
Yue Sefu endured and shifted the stool under his butt. Due to the angle of his seat and the shift of his attention, he caught a glimpse of the book that Lin Jie had put aside and was originally in his hands.
Yue Sefu's eyes suddenly turned cold.
Child of the Abyss?
Lin Jie had already said naturally, "I happen to be reading a very relaxing fairy tale. It's very heartwarming and healing. Do you want to try it? I think reading it before going to bed relieves a lot of stress."
According to the teachings of his language teacher in high school, the more fierce-looking a man was, the more likely he was to be a gentle girl.
He firmly believed in this.
The person in front of him was meticulous, and he could not forget their friendship. He was also tsundere.
In that case, it was highly likely that the old man in front of him belonged to this type.
"Fairy tale?" Yue Sefu snorted. "Childish and ridiculous things. Young man, you're not young anymore. Why would you like to read this kind of book?"
"Alright then. This is the best fairy tale I've ever read. It's the only copy in Nuo Jin."
Lin Jie took back his hand that had picked up The Little Prince with some regret and said, "What a pity …"
Yue Sefu's mouth suddenly twitched. He pointed at the book in Lin Jie's hands and said, "You're talking about this one? Fairy tale? Are you sure? "
Whose fairy tale is named Child of the Abyss?!
Is this a fairy tale about a beast in a dream?
Lin Jie nodded, baffled. "Of course. It's a very good fairy tale. It's an absolute classic."
Yue Sefu vaguely felt that something was wrong, but until now, he still had not felt the flow of aether.
It was just that this damned fairy tale actually gave him the urge to see why it was named like this.
"Give it to me."
Finally, he reached out his hand expressionlessly and leaned against the counter. "I'll fulfill your wish then. I'll just casually take a look."
Lin Jie's face showed that he had expected this. He smiled and handed over the book in his hand.
Yue Sefu pretended to casually glance at the cover and title of the book that he had skipped before — Child of the Abyss.
This, it really was called this … What kind of bedtime fairy tale was this?
Yue Sefu reached out and was just about to take it when he suddenly felt a wave of dizziness.
The stabbing pain that he had forcibly suppressed before was rapidly magnified in his mind. His vision was shrouded in shadows, and there were overlapping ravings and tinnitus in his ears.
Starting from his spine, it gradually spread to the depths of his soul. It was as if his soul was being torn apart.
His body began to lose its center of gravity.
“***！”
He was too familiar with this feeling of following him like a shadow!
Magic Sword Kandra! It seemed to be resonating with something …
Why did it have to be at this time?
Wait, this guy kept saying "before bed." It couldn't be that he was referring to this sleep, right?
Could this be a trap?!
Yue Sefu's consciousness was completely cut off at this time. He fell down from the counter, and the call of the bookstore owner faded away from his ears.
"Hey hey! Hey! Uncle! Uncle, are you okay?! "
"Hey, hey hey! Are you okay?! "
Lin Jie's face changed. He quickly flipped over the counter with one hand and went forward to support the uncle who suddenly seemed to have a stroke.
Or … could it be a sudden cerebral hemorrhage?!
Although this uncle looked a bit old, his physique was very strong. He didn't look like someone who would have this kind of problem.
But he was still an old man after all …
Anyway, he had to save him first!
However, when Lin Jie painstakingly moved him to the ground and laid him down, he found that the uncle's breathing was stable and his heartbeat was strong. There were no abnormal symptoms.
Instead, it seemed like he was just sleeping.
"Are you okay?"
Lin Jie suspiciously reached out to grab the guy's wrist and accurately pressed his finger on the artery.
As a folklore scholar, it was normal for him to know a little about pulse reading and basic medical skills, right?
Lin Jie frowned and then let go. He put down Yue Sefu's wrist and sighed, "This pulse is even stronger than a young man like me. Your uncle is still your uncle. He's very healthy."
But why did he suddenly faint?
It couldn't be related to his book, right?! Right?!
Although this uncle did only do one thing before he fainted, and that was to take his book.
But in this world, there shouldn't be a reason for someone to suddenly fall into a coma after reading "The Little Prince," right?
So it definitely had nothing to do with him.
This was "The Little Prince," a heartwarming and healing fairy tale. After reading it, he should only feel comfortable and not have a heart attack.
Lin Jie sighed. But after all, this person fainted at his place. He would temporarily settle him down and ask him when he woke up.
