  The owner of this voice, Li Minghui felt a little familiar, and after careful consideration, he suddenly realized that it was the woman who had noticed him yesterday. However, he hadn't paid much attention to her at the time, so he hadn't carefully observed her face. But today, when he saw her again, he discovered that she was an extremely beautiful woman. What caught Li Minghui's attention most was the elegant and refined temperament that surrounded her body.

  It's rare to find a woman with such temperament in this chaotic society, and Li Minghui's heart skipped a beat when he met one today.

  "Of course!"

  Li Minghui's face revealed a smile, and after just a brief moment of dullness, he also said in a low voice.

  "Then I'll trouble you with one more thing, can you also help me return this book?"

  As she spoke, Ye Xiaowen handed over a book.

  "Uh..."

  Li Minghui hesitated for a moment, his face stunned, but then said, "Okay!"

  He took the book from the woman's hand, glanced at it briefly, and found that it was Mr. Lu Xun's "Hesitation". Seeing this, Li Minghui slightly gained some interest, but with his low EQ, he didn't say much, closed the book directly, stood up, and returned the book to her.

  This book is not unfamiliar to Li Minghui, and he is also very interested in Mr. Lu Xun. He remembers that the only Chinese lesson he was interested in during his middle school days was when the teacher was explaining Mr. Lu Xun's articles, and he was deeply impressed by Mr. Lu Xun's integrity.

  He walked to a bookshelf with ease, put down the book and didn't need to look, Li Minghui was confident that he could find the location of the bookshelf where he had placed the book. This is because he had a very deep impression of Mr. Lu Xun's books, so much so that even in the Chinese Book City, he knew the specific location of the bookshelf clearly.

  Casually flipping through the books, Ye Xiaowen was looking at Li Minghui from start to finish. Seeing him so familiar, a faint smile also appeared on Ye Xiaowen's delicate face. In her heart, she thought: "It seems that this person shouldn't be someone who came here with ulterior motives. From his awkwardness in striking up conversations and other aspects of his behavior, he doesn't seem to be that kind of person. He should be someone who truly appreciates literary classics!"

  Being able to truly find a like-minded young person, Ye Xiaowen's heart was also slightly joyful, and then she didn't think about it anymore, but lowered her head and seriously looked at the books selected by Li Minghui.

  This is an excerpt from the first volume of Notre Dame de Paris, a novel that Ye Xiaoyu was not unfamiliar with, written by the great French writer Victor Hugo, which caused a sensational effect in the Romantic movement.

  Against the backdrop of 15th century France under the rule of Louis XI, through the story of a pure and innocent Bohemian girl being brutally persecuted, it exposes the sinister baseness of the clergy, the barbaric cruelty of the religious courts, the debauchery of the nobility, and the tyranny of the king. The work vividly embodies anti-feudalism, anti-clericalism, and praise for the masses. Esmeralda is a pure and passionate Gypsy girl who makes a living by performing in Paris. She is framed by the deputy archdeacon of Notre Dame Cathedral, Frollo, because she refuses to submit to his lust, and is killed. Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer of Notre Dame, loses his idol Esmeralda and becomes desperate. In anger, he pushes Frollo from the top floor to death, then goes to the cemetery and kills himself beside Esmeralda's body.

  This book, of course, Ye Xiaowen didn't finish reading it all, it was too long, but also a very likable book, so she quickly forgot everything and seriously immersed herself in it.

  Li Minghui, who had just left the Chinese bookstore, naturally didn't know that a beautiful woman had taken an interest in him. It wasn't until later that Li Minghui slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Ah, why didn't I ask for her phone number? Big Brother said there would be beautiful women, and we should get their numbers no matter what! Ugh, how stupid of me!"

  Li Minghui, who was secretly regretful in his heart, quickly walked to a farmer's market, bought some vegetables, and remembered that Zhang Wei, the eldest, was off duty today. He thought of calling Zhang Wei over to get his advice on how to win Ye Xiaoyu's heart, as he had to admit that he was indeed interested in her.

  As a playboy, Li Minghui's elder brother Zhang Wei was the best at wooing girls. In Li Minghui's heart, there seemed to be a set of rules for pursuing girls, and among the people around him, only Zhang Wei could provide guidance. Finally meeting a girl who took the initiative to talk to him, Li Minghui felt that this might be his chance.

  Li Minghui, who was usually very frugal, went on a shopping spree at the farmer's market, buying beef, chicken feet, potatoes, pork and other such items in large quantities. He even added a case of Yanjing beer to his purchases, spending a total of 200 yuan. This extravagance left Li Minghui feeling quite painful.

  "It's a waste to not give it to the kids, but if we don't, the wolves will get it anyway. In any case, it'll just be the two of us eating with Lao Da, so let's splurge and not worry about wasting it!"

  Thinking of this, Li Minghui also felt a lot more comfortable in his heart, and even had some self-satisfaction: "The boss always says that my emotional intelligence is relatively low, now he can't say anything, but it seems like there's something not quite right!"

  Just as Li Minghui was feeling a little pleased with himself, he suddenly felt that he might have overthought things. "Maybe they just wanted me to help return the book because they were lazy, and I'm being a bit too full of myself!"

  Thinking of this, Li Minghui felt a bit hesitant, but thinking that the wine and dishes had already been bought, there was no reason to return them, and it had been a long time since he had gathered with Zhang Wei, so he didn't think about it anymore. Instead, he immediately took out his own shanzhai mobile phone and dialed the number.

  "Hey, boss! Are you up yet? Come on over and let's have a chat, just the two of us!"

  "Come on, Old Five! The sun is rising in the west, and Brother Xing has arrived!"

  Zhang Wei's crisp voice came, and he didn't mention matching Li Minghui with Cheng Juanan again. In his opinion, although his brother was a bit numb in emotions and temporarily in a low period of his career, that Cheng Juaner had no interest in his own fifth brother, and he wouldn't let his own brother lose face, so naturally he wouldn't mention it again.

  To be honest, Li Minghui hasn't studied any culinary skills, but for over a year now, he's been cooking for himself. His technique and speed are not bad at all. Before Zhang Wei even arrived, the other dishes were already ready, just waiting for the final potato stewed beef dish to be done.

  As they were talking, Zhang Wei arrived: "Old Five, open the door!"
