Chapter 212: I like to read novels
On Saturday, the opening time of the library is half past 8, Zhuo Ziyuan came early in the morning, it may be the reason for Saturday or the morning, there are few people in the library, it is very quiet, different from the evening self-study, Zhuo Ziyuan still sits quietly in his corner, observing Xiao Lan from time to time, watching her put the books that may not have had time to be placed yesterday on the corresponding bookshelf one by one, watching her carefully check the number to prevent misplacement, watching her pick a book, sitting on the seat closest to the bookshelf and sitting down, watching her turn through the pages of the books in her hand, Zhuo Ziyuan's mind was completely involved in her every move, as if, in this world, at this moment, nothing is more important than looking at her, looking at her, Zhuo Ziyuan's heart felt a sweetness, and the satisfaction that he had never felt since his rebirth filled his entire body, even if it was just looking at her like this.
The morning passed quickly, and after looking at the time, Zhuo Ziyuan packed his schoolbag, took the umbrella out of his schoolbag, and walked to Xiao Lan, who had already changed a book to read.
"Hello, Xiao Lan. Zhuo Ziyuan sat opposite Xiao Lan and said hello softly, for fear that a little louder voice would frighten her.
Xiao Lan raised her head and saw that it was Zhuo Ziyuan, with a smile on her face, she closed the book and said, "Hello, classmate Zhuo Ziyuan." β
The title is a little raw, Zhuo Ziyuan felt it, looked at the book she was reading, Notre Dame Cathedral, the English version, this book himself has also read, in order to write, Zhuo Ziyuan himself has not read less Chinese and foreign famous books, but he reads the Chinese version, "Notre Dame, do you like to read novels?"
Xiao Lan didn't expect the boy opposite to recognize the book at a glance, and was a little surprised, "Well, this is the second time I've read it." β
"Girls still don't read this kind of novel that ends in tragedy, and it's easy to make themselves pessimistic. β
"Oh~ Then tell me about what novels are more suitable for girls. Xiao Lan blinked her eyes and looked at Zhuo Ziyuan and asked.
"Abroad, Notre Dame Cathedral, Wuthering Heights, and Anna Karenina are all considered tragic endings, not good, like David Copperfield, Jane Eyre is okay, although the process is tortuous and full of suffering, but they all belong to the type of rain and sunny weather, and the ending can be regarded as a great consummation. Domestic, the four famous novels are estimated that girls only like Dream of Red Mansions, in addition, I think Zhang Ailing's love in the city can be seen, although there are tragedies in depth, but the ending is still good, and three lives and three lives, this love novel with Xianxia as the background, I think you can take a look. Zhuo Ziyuan said casually, and of course he didn't forget to recommend his novel.
"I didn't expect that you know a lot about novels, you don't sit there every day and read novels. Xiao Lan said with a smile.
"What's the matter, I came to the library to study things, and the ones I just said were all I watched when I was in high school and had nothing to do. "Although there is nothing wrong with reading novels, Zhuo Ziyuan is of course not happy to be misunderstood that he is not doing his job all day long.
"Oh~~, by the way, you're going to return this umbrella to me, right?"
"Ah, oh, yes, didn't you say you went to work today, I brought the umbrella, thank you. Zhuo Ziyuan handed her the umbrella in his hand.
"You've said thank you so many times, so you don't have to keep saying it. Xiao Lan kept a polite smile and withdrew the umbrella.
"By the way, it's time for dinner, and as a token of gratitude, I'll treat you to dinner. Zhuo Ziyuan said cautiously.
Xiao Lan glanced at Zhuo Ziyuan, didn't answer immediately, hesitated for a while and said, "Forget it, it's not a big deal, so I borrowed an umbrella for you to use, and you have said thank you so many times." β
"It's nothing to you, but it's important to me, or I'm going to get caught in the rain that day, and maybe I'm going to catch a cold, and my computer might be ruined. Zhuo Ziyuan said again.
"How can it be as exaggerated as you say, even if I don't lend it to you, you can also ask your roommate or classmate to give you an umbrella. I also asked my roommate to have dinner today, so I won't bother you. β
In the face of the girl's refusal, Zhuo Ziyuan didn't know what to say for a while, in the face of Xiao Lan, there was always an indescribable nervousness and caution, and he really couldn't find a topic, Zhuo Ziyuan could only say, "Oh, that's okay, then I'll go first." β
"Well, goodbye. β
"Goodbye. Zhuo Ziyuan stood up and walked out, and when he arrived at the door, he looked back at her deeply.
Zhuo Ziyuan finished lunch, and hurriedly went back to the scholarly mansion, he took a hardcover version of the two books of the Three Lives and Three Worlds series, stuffed them into his schoolbag, and then didn't even go to the dormitory, and went directly to the library.
"This is the Xianxia novel I told you in the morning, the Three Lives and Three Worlds series. I found Xiao Lan and stuffed the book directly to her.
"No, I'll just go to the bookstore outside and rent it. Xiao Lan postponed.
"I bought this book a long time ago, I have already finished reading it anyway, you take it and read it, why waste money to rent it outside, you borrow my umbrella, I want to express my gratitude, please eat, you don't want to, I will lend you the book to see, you have to postpone it, then in this way, you choose the same meal and book, otherwise I will pester you, I am a person, I don't like to owe others favors." Zhuo Ziyuan's tone was a little tougher, and when he talked to Xiao Lan again, Zhuo Ziyuan's nervousness had decreased a lot.
"Okay, I'll take the book. Xiao Lan couldn't refuse Zhuo Ziyuan's attitude, especially the sentence that haunted you, which made her feel a little flustered.
"That's great, we're friends, there's no need to be so pretentious. Book, you read it slowly, I'm not in a hurry to ask for it, I've read it several times, and it takes up space in the dormitory, if you like it, you can read it a few more times, and it's okay to give it to you. Seeing that she accepted the book, Zhuo Ziyuan said happily.
"You don't have to send it, I'll pay you back after I've finished reading. Xiao Lan immediately replied.
"Okay, whatever you want, let's go. After saying that, Zhuo Ziyuan went to the corner, and didn't forget to turn around and wave his hand to her.
Xiao Lan held the book in her arms, looked at Zhuo Ziyuan's back, and felt a little strange in her heart, is this considered to be a gift from the opposite sex? It shouldn't be counted? It will be returned to him in a few days, if this is also a gift, this is the first gift she received from the opposite sex.
In order to have more opportunities to meet Xiao Lan, Zhuo Ziyuan not only went to the library every day to report, but in the following days, he tried his best to inquire about Xiao Lan's roommates in the same dormitory, as well as the people who could be related to the classmates around her, but unfortunately, except for Zhou Qin, there was no one between Zhuo Ziyuan and Xiao Lan who could connect them, which made Zhuo Ziyuan very suspicious of the saying that one out of every six people would be a friend of your friend.
In order to inquire about Xiao Lan's news, Zhuo Ziyuan took the initiative to call Zhou Qin for the first time, Zhou Qin had also called Zhuo Ziyuan's idea before, but Zhuo Ziyuan's attitude and the results of Tong Xue's three years of high school made her give up quickly, at this time Zhuo Ziyuan found her old classmate, although Zhou Qin was strange that Zhuo Ziyuan put Tong Xue and Jian Qiu, two beauties, not to pursue, how could he be obsessed with this Xiao Lan, who didn't seem to be outstanding, but he still told Zhuo Ziyuan everything he knew.
Although Zhou Qin and Xiao Lan are classmates, they do not have a deep friendship, like all college students, Zhou Qin's playmates are mainly roommates, classmates can be regarded as acquaintances, even familiar, but they can't talk about understanding, with Zhou Qin's understanding of the situation, Xiao Lan has no boyfriend, because she has never seen her get close to a boy, but I have heard that someone is chasing, but there is no result, those rights and wrongs between classmates are the daily conversations of college students, especially girls, who is pursuing whom, who receives flowers, and who receives gifts, all have a small account book, and sometimes compare itγ
In fact, whether there is a boyfriend or not, Zhuo Ziyuan himself can feel it, Xiao Lan has to go to the library almost every day, but she has never seen the boy come to pick up and drop off, this is obvious, now that she is a freshman, if you talk about friends, how can there be a reason why it is better to stick together like glue every day, even if two people are conservative, at least they will eat together, take classes together, and read books together, but Zhuo Ziyuan has observed for many days that Xiao Lan is alone, and she eats in the cafeteria with female classmates.
The most useful information provided by Zhou Qin was actually a class schedule for their class, and Zhou Qin did not know much about Zhou Qin's personal hobbies.
According to this class schedule, Zhuo Ziyuan has achieved several chance encounters with Xiao Lan, but most of them are just saying hello, Zhuo Ziyuan is not in a hurry, in Wang Feng's words, the water flows for a long time, this time period is to appear more in Xiao Lan's field of vision, so that she has a preliminary impression of herself.
By chance, Zhuo Ziyuan found that Xiao Lan actually likes to watch people play basketball, to be precise, it should be with her classmates to watch others play basketball, and it is Wednesday and Thursday for two consecutive days, these two days they only have one class in the afternoon, two classes, Zhuo Ziyuan and their class just did not have a class, Zhuo Ziyuan of course will not let go of this opportunity to meet, after class, he will observe in the classroom of the School of Economics building, the School of Foreign Chinese Chinese and the School of Economics building are very close, similar to an intersection, one in the northeast and one in the southwest, and the building of the School of Economics is closer to the dormitory, if the students of the School of Economics want to go back to the dormitory, you will inevitably pass the road in front of the Faculty of Economics building.
Therefore, Zhuo Ziyuan will sit by the window, according to the class schedule, when the time is about the same, he will always observe the window, when he sees Xiao Lan appear at the end of the road, he will immediately go downstairs, sometimes he will just meet him, just say hello, sometimes he will fall behind Xiao Lan, he can only follow her slowly, sometimes, Zhuo Ziyuan even feels that he has become a stalker, I don't know if Xiao Lan is aware of it.
Zhuo Ziyuan found that Xiao Lan went to watch people play basketball, it was the Wednesday of the second week that he observed Xiao Lan, on this day he was behind Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan and the three female classmates chatted and walked to the dormitory area, Zhuo Ziyuan followed silently, but Xiao Lan and they walked straight to the basketball court.
The basketball court in the south area of Dongda is next to the dormitory area, there are a total of 8 basketball courts, and 6 volleyball courts, on the other side of the basketball court is a large playground, the kind with stands, like all schools, this large playground is also a football field, Zhuo Zi ** runs on the track of this playground when he gets up in the morning.
Seeing Xiao Lan go to play basketball for two days in a row, Zhuo Ziyuan immediately thought about it, it's not that he doesn't know how to play basketball, but when he was in high school, he felt that he bullied children and didn't participate much, but now that he is in college, everyone is an adult, and he can't talk about bullying or not bullying, and in terms of physical strength, college is the best period.
Zhuo Ziyuan immediately decided to pull a few roommates in the dormitory to play basketball together, like Wednesday and Thursday, these two days are not a good opportunity, Xiao Lan watched from the side, playing by herself, what a good opportunity to perform, Zhuo Ziyuan was excited when he thought about it.
