Did you think the child wanted to soak some treasure out of this lousy book? No.
Qiao Mu merely wanted to wash this dirty and stinky book.
If it disintegrated in the process, great! She could throw it out with this bucket of water…
She soaked the book in the tub, again and again. When she picked the book up by a corner of a page, she thought the book would soften at least, but no!
It still remained that handsewn book that looked like it would fall apart at any second.
It looked like it would fall apart, but the pages remained intact and didn't even have a soak mark!
What was going on?
The child was kneeling next to the tub and used two fingers to flick the lousy book floating in the water. After poking it around for a while, the child was at her wit's end when she suddenly caught sight of the flickering candle flame on the table.
