Chapter 1138: Xiao'ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

"Don't be so stingy," Xia Dabao still had the nerve to say, "I have quite a few books at home too. If you're interested, we could exchange, you know. We have storybooks, novels, and even the Historical Records. Go ahead and pick one, there's bound to be something that suits you!"

But Tian Xiaobei grew even angrier, "Xia Dabao, do you think everything can be casually swapped? Give me back my book!"

Xia Dabao had initially only meant to tease him for a laugh, considering that it was rare to find another young person in the village who also enjoyed reading. Perhaps they might have had something in common to talk about. However, seeing how Tian Xiaobei seemed genuinely upset, she could only return his book, "Here, take it back. If you won't lend it, never mind then. If I want to read it next time, I'll just have my dad buy me a copy from the county city."
