Seeing Ning Xiaofei put down her chopsticks, Mr. Mu felt happy, but he was a little reluctant to leave. "The house hasn't been so lively for a long time. You might as well stay here tonight and don't leave."
"No, no!" Ning Xiaofei waved her hand immediately, "I... I haven't prepared anything. Next time, next time we come to stay for a few more days."
It's not that she made the old man unhappy, but there was another person upstairs who couldn't be ignored.
Seeing her reluctance, Mr. Mu didn't force it, "That's fine too."
At this time, Mu Tianye also put his chopsticks on the table. He was also worried that Ning Xiaofei's rejection would make him unhappy, so he reached out and held Ning Xiaofei's palm.
"Come on, I'll take you upstairs to take a look."
Go... upstairs
"Ah... no... no, no..." Ning Xiaofei almost said the wrong thing and hurriedly changed her words, "I mean, I have already visited your room."
"There's something you haven't seen before."
Mu Tianye tightened his fingers slightly, signaling her not to refuse anymore, and pulled her up from the chair.
"You two go upstairs to play first. These dumplings are delicious today. I want to eat more." Mr. Mu also said with a smile.
Ning Xiaofei was led by Mu Tianye towards the stairs. She deliberately slowed down her steps and turned her head to find an excuse. Before she could think of anything, she was already at the bottom of the stairs.
The old house is not very spacious. It is a two-story building that the school awarded to Mr. Mu who had high academic achievements. How many steps can there be from the napkin to the stairs
Seeing that he had already stepped forward, Ning Xiaofei had no choice but to follow him, and then raised her voice and coughed exaggeratedly, which was a signal to Mu's mother, reminding her to hide.
Mu Tianye looked over with concern, "Why... is your throat uncomfortable?"
Ning Xiaofei stuck out her tongue, "No, I choked on the water I drank just now."
"You!"
Mu Tianye scolded her, pulled her in front of him, and continued to move forward.
Soon, the two of them had arrived at the corridor on the second floor. Ning Xiaofei glanced at the doors of the three rooms upstairs and was unable to determine which room Mu's mother was in, so she had to deliberately ask Mu Tianye.
"The thing you mentioned is in your bedroom, or somewhere?"
Mu Tianye held her waist and stopped in front of the door of the first room on the right, "Study!"
The door to the study room was ajar. Ning Xiaofei took a breath, stretched out her hand to hold the door handle, and pushed it open gently.
God forbid, don't hide in this room.
There was a soft creaking sound, and the study door slowly opened. There was no light inside the door, so it was a little dark. Ning Xiaofei tentatively walked in. Mu Tianye reached out and pressed the light switch, and bright light instantly filled the entire room.
"sky!"
Ning Xiaofei exclaimed in surprise.
In the entire room, except for the heavy velvet curtains hanging on the windows, the other walls are covered with books, all the way to the top of the books. The fine wood has become more and more heavy-textured after years of baptism, and they are densely packed and neatly placed. There are books of various thicknesses and sizes, and the wooden ladder side chairs of the same texture are on the copper backrests to hold the books at the top.
In some places, there is no room for them, so they have to be placed horizontally on the top of the books, ranging from thick-covered tomes to simple-looking thread-bound books... It is simply a small library.
There is a large desk by the window, which is neatly tidied. There is an equally old pen holder on the corner of the desk, with several brushes of different sizes hanging on it.
"I practiced calligraphy here when I was little!" Mu Tianye introduced from behind her.
