Auden’s Blessing
“You workaholic. What’s the point of reading so many books? You can’t eat them.”
“I’m going to the battlefield.”
I picked up the books I borrowed from the library and retreated into my room to study. But as soon as I entered, Xia came in too, carrying books. She’d removed her bright makeup, and her youthful, clean face looked especially beautiful under the light. I smiled at her and started reading.
The first book was Complete History of the Asir Gods. I was familiar with the overview of the history, but since it was a full history, there were many details I hadn’t known.
