Su Chen, of course, noticed the look on his face—that of someone who wanted to say something but was hesitating.
"Brother Qian, why so hesitant? There's no need to be shy among us. If you've got something to say, just say it," Su Chen said with a smile.
All eyes immediately turned to Yu Qian. They had noticed it earlier too, but since it wasn't their business and they weren't particularly close, no one had bothered to ask.
But now that Su Chen had brought it up, they were curious to see what Yu Qian was up to.
Yu Qian paid no mind to the others' stares. Meeting Su Chen's gaze, he spoke in a slightly apprehensive tone, "Mr. Su, I was wondering... would it be possible to borrow a volume of the *Yongle Encyclopedia* to study?"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen almost laughed. 'And here I was, thinking he had some outrageous request. It's just to borrow a single volume.'
"Of course. When you're ready to leave later, just find Jiang Hui and tell him I said it was okay."
