π like to read Chinese books very much, and I was not very used to it at first, but Chinese has a magical magic, and the composition of each word has its own special rules, and each word can be read and meaningful, which makes it gradually fascinated. For example, the word "mountain", when you see this word, it seems that you can see the peaks of the mountains.

It followed Zhang Zi'an's suggestion, sat upright in front of the computer and typed for a while, then sat on the windowsill and looked into the distance, observed the pedestrians coming and going, waited for a few minutes, its eyes were adjusted and relaxed, and then half lay down in the hanging basket rattan chair to read a book on a tablet for a while, and the cycle was repeated, and it was never tired.

Perhaps it is because π has become accustomed to finding knowledge in the intricate records of unnamed books, and it reads books very quickly, almost ten lines at a glance, and can not only read, but also remember and understand. Every time Zhang Zi'an went up to the second floor to inspect its condition, he found that it had been replaced by another book to read.

"Squeak!"

π typing explained: I have read the English translations of these books, so I read them quickly.

Zhang Zi'an nodded in relief.

The books he introduced to the tablet were all electronic versions of classical or modern classics, and most of them had been translated into English and introduced abroad, so it was normal for π to have read them before.

I like to read any kind of book π, whether it is travelogues, essays, poems, popular science works, or biographies, it all of them are read with relish. In order to satisfy its growing appetite, Zhang Zi'an dug out all kinds of reading materials from his childhood from the storage room, and borrowed some books from Wang Qian and Li Kun, and stacked them next to the hanging basket rattan chair so that it could be used at any time.

π cherishes physical books, handles them with care, and is careful when turning pages, but the reading speed is still unabated.

Soon, Zhang Zi'an's house and all the physical books he could borrow were all π read.

In addition to the daily operation of the pet store, Zhang Zi'an has one more task, which is to brush the e-commerce website in his spare time to see if there is any discount information on books, and buy a batch of preferential activities when he encounters them.

"Master, it's so heavy! You always have a courier these days!"

Wang Qian and Li Kun walked into the store with two heavy packing boxes and placed them next to Zhang Zi'an's recliner.

"Well, I bought some books. ”

Zhang Zi'an picked up a paper cutter and unpacked the packaging, which contained a complete set of books and periodicals - these periodicals were all from last year, and the price of buying them in packages was very affordable, and π was not picky about the release date anyway.

Wang Qian and Li Kun looked at the Abyssinian cat breeding manual in Zhang Zi'an's hand, and asked curiously: "But Master, you have bought so many books, we haven't seen you read them at all......

Zhang Zi'an glared at them, "I have to let you see my study? I bought it to pad the table legs? Don't talk nonsense, hurry back and prepare for the make-up exam!"

He didn't tell anyone about π coming to the pet store for the time being, especially Wang Qian and Li Kun, the two second goods, who were open-mouthed and always liked to brag everywhere.

"Yes, Master!" the two of them stuck out their tongues and ran back to school.

When they left, Zhang Zi'an picked up the books and periodicals and went to the second floor.

"π, it's a new book. ”

"Squeak!"

π jumped down from the hanging basket rattan chair, greeted him expectantly, looked at the spine of these books, and before Zhang Zi'an could stack the books, it couldn't wait to pull out a book and look through it greedily, swimming in the treasure house of knowledge.

Seeing its happy appearance, Zhang Zi'an was both relieved and a little worried.

A small mountain of books rose from the ground next to the hanging basket and rattan chair, and the original books, borrowed books, bought books and periodicals in his house were piled up into four hills of varying heights, the highest of which was almost one person high, and the shortest was waist-high.

Zhang Zi'an's speed of finding books is completely incomparable to the speed of π reading books, and if it goes on like this, these books will break through the ceiling in a few days.

Physical books are more expensive, not often discounted, and inconvenient to store. Books and periodicals are a kind of fast-moving consumer goods for π, and they have no long-term preservation value, after all, it has an all-encompassing collection of unknown books, and Chinese books are read only to understand the breadth and depth of Chinese.

π is very bored, lonely, and melancholy when there is no book to read, it knows that it can't just go downstairs and appear in front of the world, because it will cause trouble to Zhang Zi'an, and even if it goes downstairs, it has nothing to do, and it can't communicate with other elves, so it is better to stay on the second floor to type, but it is not interesting to type all the time, so it often sits on the windowsill in a daze.

Zhang Zi'an is very worried about the state of π, and so is the old tea who is proficient in traditional Chinese medicine. Lao Cha said that depression hurts the body, and if you are depressed for a long time, you π have to hold back your illness, especially in the winter when you are already depressed. Lao Cha's words are expressed in Western medicine as depression, long-term solitude, not communicating with the outside world, and low mood, which may lead to depression over time.

Man is a social animal, and so are monkeys, and π whose behavior and temperament are very close to monkeys is probably the same, but it is impossible for Zhang Zi'an to find a group of monkeys for him to play with.

Many studies have shown that negative emotions can affect physical health, such as causing acute and chronic diseases such as stomach ulcers, endocrine disorders, hair loss, etc.

Since physical books are difficult to satisfy π's appetite, after thinking about it, he decides to turn to the almighty network.

"π, do you want to try the Internet?"

He suggested to π.

"Squeak?"

π was sitting on a rattan chair reading a book, and was stunned when he heard the words.

Zhang Zi'an explained: "The Internet is a new form of reading that has emerged with the rise of the Internet, which is similar to the electronic version of the physical book you have read, but the difference is that the Internet was created from the beginning to be shared on the Internet. ”

"Squeak?"

π put down the book, picked up the laptop and typed: Is the Internet interesting?

"Some of them are okay, some of them are not interesting, but there are many types and quantities of the Internet, and you can always find something you like. Zhang Zi'an answered truthfully, in fact, he hadn't read a few books on the Internet, and he didn't have enough confidence when he said these words.

Literary and artistic aside, the biggest advantage of the Internet is that it is full of volume, and before he comes up with a solution, he temporarily fills the stomach of the π, so that it will not be depressed because of boredom.

"Squeak!"

π nodded and typed: I want to read it.

"Okay, I'll download some online reading apps for you. ”

Zhang Zi'an took the tablet, downloaded several well-known online reading apps in the application market, and then registered an account for the π and taught it how to find books.

π happily picked up the tablet and plunged headlong into the ocean of the web.
