We've seen him leave to get groceries during one of the previous. 5 chapters, and he's been outside during the renovations and in flashbacks, but first prolonged exposure to the outdoors we've seen of him.Whoa, is this the first time we've seen the bookstore owner leave his store?
It’s already been taken away thankfully in a previous chapter by the rich girl who’s in charge of that spider organization (can’t remember names right now) so don’t worry! This is just a little flashback and side chapter, the rose is safe (for now)violation of plant rights
stop the drowning of the rose
sign this petition now to remove custody of the rose from mr bookshop owner
TL/N:...wait who is xiaohe? Is that the untranslated name for inky or blackie?
