"You will know later." Alva looked away.
"Why not tell me now?" She wondered what made Alva upset.
"Because I don't know how." The girl said playfully and ate more, ignoring Xinyi.
Ignoring her annoyed Xinyi. "Eh? Why are you upset and avoiding my question?"
She didn't look at Xinyi and snapped her fingers. The table and everything on it were gone. "Don't you wanna read the books here? Or learn about your world Chiji?."
Xinyi pouted. "Are you just a library custodian?"
"What just? That is an honorable job. And I'm good at it. And the best. I memorize all the books here. Ask me specific topics or genres you want to read and I'll bring the books to your lap. You want love stories like I'm Guilty, My Beauty written by JoanB?" A book popped in her palm and handed it to Xinyi.
Delight shone on Xinyi's face, looking at the pandas in the book cover, reminding her of Xionmao. Sensing the kid's avoidance and nervousness, she dropped the topic.
This is the last of the promised 3 chapters for today. If the story is getting boring, please tell this author. Creation is hard, cheer me up!
