Chapter 643 -60 Library Turmoil_2

“It’s okay, can you really finish reading so many books?” Xu Mo asked with a smile.

“I read very quickly,” Wal responded, before casting a glance in Nan Xiangyi’s direction and seating himself opposite her, which made Xu Mo wonder, had this guy come to read books or to chase after girls?

However, for adolescent boys, Nan Xiangyi’s appearance and demeanor had a powerful, almost lethal allure. She was different from Elizabeth and Zero. Elizabeth exuded a noble air, creating an invisible distance, while Zero was icy, ready to throw punches if anyone dare to pursue her—clearly a no-go situation. Who would be that foolhardy?

Nan Xiangyi, on the other hand, had a charm that was tremendously attractive to boys, and as a new student this year, naturally many were eagerly looking to try their luck, especially her classmates.

But from Xu Mo’s brief interactions with Nan Xiangyi, he could tell that winning her over wouldn’t be easy. Her temperament had a deceptive quality to it, and her inner pride did not fall short of Elizabeth’s in the slightest.

Wal seemed young, even younger than Nan Xiangyi, probably around eighteen years old.

As he read, he would occasionally lift his eyes to look at Nan Xiangyi and even let slip a goofy smile. As a fellow freshman, he had seen Nan Xiangyi on the first day of school and had been captivated by her presence from the very first glance, inquired about her, and watched her every move since.

He felt that he had become obsessed with Nan Xiangyi, just like his obsession with machinery.

Nan Xiangyi was like a perfect piece of art, much like his mechanical blueprints, so flawless that merely looking at them was a treat for the eyes.

Nan Xiangyi seemed to notice the gaze of the boy across from her and she slightly raised her head to glance over, her beautiful eyes seemingly able to cause one to sink deeply into them, captivating Wal. He appeared rather shy but still mustered the courage to flash a smile her way.

Nan Xiangyi returned a polite, thin smile and nodded gently to Wal before returning to her book, yet that fleeting smile blossomed in Wal’s heart, causing his pulse to race uncontrollably, making it hard for him to focus on his reading.

“Young Wal, what brings you to the Library to read today?” At that moment, a voice interrupted Wal’s daydreams, and he looked up to see the Library’s curator, Grandpa Lu, smiling at him.

“Grandpa Lu,” Wal greeted with a smile: “I’ve come to look for a few books to read.”

“Is that so?” Grandpa Lu smiled again, then glanced at Nan Xiangyi, who was engrossed in her book.

Was it the books or the girl?

Feeling slightly embarrassed by Grandpa Lu’s knowing look, Wal scratched his head.

“Study hard and don’t waste your talent,” Grandpa Lu said with a smile. Young Wal had an extraordinary gift for mechanics, clearly evident from a young age, likely due to genetics since his father was highly skilled in mechanics.

“Understood, Grandpa Lu,” Wal nodded.

Without saying much more, Grandpa Lu walked over to Xu Mo, placed a few books down, and said, “Xu Mo, please put these books back for me.”

“Sure,” Xu Mo stood up, taking the books and giving Wal a curious look.

From their conversation, it was evident that Grandpa Lu and Wal were quite familiar with each other.

So, it seemed likely that Wal’s parents were from Lucas University, staff child perhaps?

However, it appeared as though the guy had become somewhat smitten with Nan Xiangyi.

Perhaps this was just part of youth, indeed imparting a sense of something beautiful.

But for Wal to actually win Nan Xiangyi over, that seemed an extremely difficult challenge.

Xu Mo returned the books Grandpa Lu had handed him back to their rightful place. When he returned, he noticed a few more people had come in, the one leading them dressed in very extravagant attire, draped in a soft, golden cape that clearly wasn’t made from ordinary material.

He was quite handsome, with chiseled features, exuding a sense of subdued dominance, and an aura of long-held superiority.

A murmur arose among the people, obviously recognizing him.

“Nilo!”

Xu Mo heard the murmurings of the people around him. Another notable figure among this year’s freshmen, Prince Nilo of the Baloma Kingdom and also a suitor of Nan Xiangyi.

Xu Mo felt somewhat emotional. What kind of wind had blown today in the library that everyone had shown up?

Or was it because Nan Xiangyi was here that they had all followed suit?

Xu Mo composed himself and took his seat. If possible, he wouldn’t mind making friends with Nilo. After all, good relations foster good business, and the more friends you have, the wider your resources.

Meanwhile, Nilo was heading towards Wal’s seat, which was the one opposite Nan Xiangyi. Nilo stood in front of Wal, who looked up at him.

“Could you move?” Nilo said to Wal.

Wal frowned and replied, “There are plenty of seats here, feel free to sit anywhere.”

“I prefer your seat,” Nilo said as he looked down at Wal.

Wal frowned visibly displeased, but he ignored the request and continued to read his book.

Nilo, feeling ignored, glanced at Nan Xiangyi beside him. He then placed his hand on Wal’s shoulder and applied a slight pressure. A surge of immense power caused a sharp pain in Wal’s shoulder.

“Let go,” Wal said angrily, looking up at Nilo. He reached out and grabbed Nilo’s arm, but Nilo continued to exert pressure. A low moan escaped from Wal as his bones made a cracking sound.

Wal kicked the table away and stood up, throwing a punch at Nilo.

But his fist was caught by Nilo, who with a slight exertion of force, pushed him back. The two men behind him stepped forward to block Wal, while Nilo looked at him with cold contempt, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Afterward, Nilo took Wal’s seat and directed his gaze at Nan Xiangyi across from him.

A murmur spread through the library; Nilo’s behavior was a bit extreme, forcibly taking Wal’s seat. At Lucas University, students were relatively polite, and such incidents were rare.

But remembering Nilo’s identity, they understood.

In Nilo’s Baloma Kingdom, slavery still existed, indicating a relatively backward civilization. Under the slavery system, as a Baloma prince, Nilo had probably grown accustomed to assertiveness, his behavior a bit more savage.

Nan Xiangyi, who was sitting there, raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn’t like the uncivilized Nilo either, but he seemed to persist like a lingering spirit.

“Nan Xiangyi, I heard you suffered a loss last time in the library. Why come back?” Nilo asked.

Nan Xiangyi had lost interest. She closed the book she had been reading, stood up, and left with the book in her arms, clearly not interested in Nilo.

Nilo, watching Nan Xiangyi’s retreating back, had a flash of irritation in his eyes. The princess from Jiaye Star truly gave him no face. frёeωebɳovel.com

“Where’s the librarian?” Nilo scanned the crowd and asked. Xu Mo and Zero were sitting with their backs to him, so Nilo did not see Xu Mo. Otherwise, having seen the video, he would have easily recognized Zero.

As Nilo’s words fell, the library quieted down, and everyone’s gaze turned towards Xu Mo and Zero. The pair had been sitting there reading, but it seemed that Nilo was looking for trouble.

Was it because of Nan Xiangyi and Zero’s fight?

Even Nan Xiangyi, who was ready to leave, stopped in her tracks when she heard Nilo’s voice, frowned, and turned to look in that direction. Since when did her matters require the intervention of Nilo?

Moreover, she was not bothered by the fight that day; it was just an ordinary sparring match to her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have returned to the library today.

At that moment, Xu Mo, quietly sitting there, felt somewhat helpless. He had intended to make connections with two influential figures among the new students this year, but it seemed to be failing. Nan Xiangyi and Zero had had a fight, and Nilo seemed to be even less friendly, obviously not an easy person to get along with.

Moreover, it appeared that this time Nilo had come for him?

Xu Mo stood up, turned around, and his gaze fell upon Nilo as he said, “Classmate, the library prohibits loud noises!”
