Romance in the Library (Part I)

The female librarian reprimanded in a low voice while picking up a hardcover book and wiping it with dust. "Look at it, this new book of more than 100 yuan has just hit the shelves, but you have broken the corner. What do you think of this?"

"I'm sorry Administrator, teacher! It's all because I'm flustered and careless. If you accidentally touch the corner, you will be compensated according to the price. I apologized with a low heart, and took out a hundred yuan bill from my pocket and handed it over with my "student ID". "You can keep the 100 yuan first, and I'll go to the dormitory to get it later, and the student ID card will be temporarily kept here." ”

But before the administrator could reach out to take it, a white hand in front of him pushed my hand holding the money aside, and sneered kindly: "Ho, your classmate is probably from a wealthy family in the city, and the money for you at home is not exhausted, so you want to find a place to be charitable? You didn't touch the book on purpose, and you apologized. The corners of the book are folded and it doesn't affect the reading, why do you have to pay them money?" Seeing that someone was helping me to relieve the siege, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and thanked the other party and took back the money.

Seeing that the purpose of the fine was not achieved, the administrator glared at the nosy girl and muttered: "It's really a dog with a mouse to meddle in things." Then he departed.

"Don't touch, don't know each other. Let's get to know each other again. When the two extracurricular activities ended and the next hall bell rang, Zheng Renjun and the girl who had just helped him talk, with the flow of people out of the hall, walked outside the gate, immediately walked and generously stretched out their hands and said. "College of Letters, Chinese Department '12, Class 5' female student Ouyang Lin. ”

"In the same school and department's '13, class 6', boy Zhong Jingliang. I also walked immediately, flattered and reached out to shake the other party's hand and introduced myself. "Yes. In all fairness. It is a pleasure to meet you in the Treasure House of Knowledge, and to have your great help in saving me face in public without losing money. To celebrate our acquaintance and thank you for your help, don't go to the cafeteria tonight. I held a banquet in the tavern outside the school to express my gratitude. Don't save face. ”

"Okay, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate. I have been eating a big pot of cabbage since school started. It just so happens that the gluttonous insects in my stomach are scratching. Ouyang Lin replied briskly. "But there is one thing: it's okay to drink and chat and celebrate your acquaintance, but don't mention anything that doesn't help. When the road is uneven, they should help each other, and the classmates are still standing together, and the same school and the same department are classmates. If I am deceived the next day, you will definitely help you. ”

"Good. Only talk about eating and drinking, only talk about friendship, and don't mention the topic of thanks. I immediately nodded in agreement. So, these two classmates of the opposite sex, who originally didn't know each other, first had an unexpected encounter in the library, and then reunited in the tavern outside the school, a casual banquet, and a heart-to-heart conversation, and the bento was about to bring the relationship closer - "Senior Brother Zhong, I was one year earlier, so you call it so, are you not wary?" Ouyang Lin asked with a deep expression.

"Unwary, unwary. The academic world is all over the world, regardless of age. I immediately hugged my fists and said very well. "Ouyang Jun should have called you senior sister when he entered the Dao!"

"Hey, hey, Brother Zhong, I was in the library in the morning, although I was trying to solve the siege, but I was also offended by my words. At that time, in order to prevent you from losing money, I deliberately ridiculed your rich children in the city, and the money provided was not spent, so he engaged in charity. Ouyang Lin said lightly. "You tell me the truth: Are you really from a rich family in the city?"

"Ha, ha, until now the senior sister is still laughing at me? look at my arms and legs and these facial features, or do you gesture and talk, which point has the sign of a rich cub?" I said as I lifted the bottle and poured wine into the glass in front of them. "Let me tell you the truth, I am a native of the countryside, the son of a farmer, and because of the thin land in my hometown, I have not yet been lifted out of poverty. If you don't believe me, I'll take you to the archives to look at my student records. ”

"Hey, hee, I deliberately teased you just now, why take it seriously. Ouyang Lin tried her best to stop laughing. "In fact, as early as in the library stack, seeing that you are so honest and kind, I guessed that you were from a rural area. Although it is said that 'people should not be disguised', the rich and the poor in the cities and villages can still be recognized at a glance. It's all branded as its own class. For example, the superiority of the official eunuch cub, the flaunting of wealth and the display of wealth by the rich boy, etc. ”

"So, sister, are you?" I asked curiously. "Is it a rich family in the city, or a child of an official eunuch?"

"I'll not tell you what to guess. Ouyang Lin squinted and said. "Take the opportunity to examine your eyesight, too. ”

"Well, look at me, with your fine skin and tender flesh and weak appearance, but you have an elegant temperament. I said carefully to the other party. From this alone, it can be inferred that you are neither a rural nor a rich child. By the way, it must be from an intellectual family in the city. Did I guess right?"

"Wrong. Nature is not all wrong. To be precise, right and wrong are half right. Ouyang Lin said with a calm smile. "Because I originally grew up in the countryside, I am also a farmer's daughter. But from the age of 11 or 12, he went to the city to live with his aunt and uncle, and for the whole six years of middle school, he stayed at his aunt's house in the county seat. My aunt and parents were both teachers, my aunt taught elementary school, and my uncle taught high school. ”

"Oh, I see?" I said. "I say, you have retained the kindness and solidity of the countrymen, and the wisdom of the intellectuals, but you do not have the intolerance, selfishness, and vulgarity of the small citizens. ”

"Xie Lu, thank you for your compliment!" Ouyang Lin said with a satisfied smile. "In that case, we are all born and share the same fate—"

"Yes, if we can work together with each other, we may be able to improve together. I immediately clapped my hands and praised.

"It depends on each other's fate and sincerity. Ouyang Lin glanced at the other party meaningfully and said.

"Two male and female students who were originally strangers read separately and had nothing to do with each other. But one person went wrong, and the other stood up and spoke out. Although they have known each other for a very short time, they have revealed their hearts to each other. Can you say that this is not fate?" I analyzed affectionately. "As for sincerity and effort, it originally came from the hearts of each other. It is precisely because of the same afternoon that Arlene and I got together twice: once because of an adventure, and once intentionally arranged to reveal each other's hearts, so that two men and women with the same background, similar fate, and like-minded interests suddenly became closer; from the uninterrupted contact in the future, finally from ordinary friends, to "lovers". That's for later.

The romance in the library (below) is close to Arlene, two people from the same background and fate, two male and female students who are strikingly similar in their goals except for their very different personalities, and after they acquiesce to each other in their hearts as their confidants and friends, although they have not yet reached the level of longing for each other, they have not yet reached the level of "not seeing each other for a day", but the frequency of their mutual contact has been greatly strengthened. But these are two special people, and even the place and way of meeting each other are more ingenious than others. Others mostly hesitate under the moon on the riverside of the park after dusk on holidays, or go to the shade of the willows to lean on each other and lean on the weeping willows; endless "you love me", and the endless pain of lovesickness. Maybe it's because they are focused on "Qingqing and me" that they have no intention of learning knowledge. Therefore, in the long run, it is strange that academic performance does not plummet! Some people delay their studies because of romance and love, or even get the severity of failing professional examinations and eventually failing to complete their studies -- and since Zheng Renjun and Liao Ruolin became close friends, the first thing they thought about was that they must not repeat the mistakes of others. Although they also frequently "dated", as the so-called first acquaintance was in the library, they met because of "books", and they became "friends" because of "books"; so they agreed at that time: we must let "books", a "big red medium", witness our love, and can only be a mentor and friend who can promote each other's common improvement and progress, and cannot become a burden that weakens the fighting spirit. Imagine that in the past few years, while the relationship between each other has grown, they have also gained knowledge and academic complementarity. To achieve this, they also agreed on a special "date" method: that is, they read in the library every day during extracurricular activities, and when they left the library after class, they would write a note in advance and clip it into the pages of the book to be exchanged.

This is just after the bell rings for extracurricular activities in the teaching building of the Faculty of Arts, in the "Class 1, 35" classroom of the Department of Chinese. When the students heard the bell, they immediately poured out of the classroom. A group of three and five will meet to go to their respective hobby activity places.

"Classmate Jingliang, can we go to the playground to play ball?" classmate Zhang Jia walked to Renjun's seat to discuss. "After sitting in the classroom for a day, my arms and legs were numb. Go to the playground to grab a ball, and you can move your limbs!"

"Ah? Xie Lu, Xie Zhang, and classmates reminded in time. I really want to go to the playground and get my muscles and bones. I was sorting out my class notes, so I immediately stretched out and said with deep gratitude, but I subconsciously looked at my watch, but I regretted: "Ah, it's just too unfortunate." I'm still a little urgent at this point. I'm sorry, but I can't accompany you. I can only play with the two of you the next day. ”

"Hey, you-" Zhang Jia still wanted to continue mobilizing, but Li Yi threw a look at him and said: "Hey, I said old Zhang, why don't you know how to do it? People want to accompany their girlfriends to the library and swim in the ocean of knowledge! Otherwise, it will be too late, and the venue will be occupied by others again. As he spoke, he took the other party's arm and walked away quickly towards me.

Watching the two leave, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his wrist again and looked at his watch, and then quietly left. Very punctual. When I trotted to the door of the library, I happened to meet Ouyang Lin, who had just arrived. So, they didn't say much to each other, just nodded to each other, and casually went to the library reading room together. And immediately find a suitable seat for each to sit down. Started another period of wandering in the sea of books. Experienced people know that reading books is very similar to a monk meditating and chanting, and it is very important to talk about "patience" and "sitting gong". And in a quiet environment where you can hear the sound of even throwing a needle on the ground, if you can sit here for an hour or two, and keep an eye on the contents of the book, you will be considered successful in your practice. After nearly a semester of self-training and self-practice, it can be said that today's Zheng Renjun and Liao Ruolin should be regarded as successful teachers - soon they will go to extracurricular activities and the library will be closed. The two of them wrote a reading list for the same time the next day in advance, and a note for the appointment time was sandwiched in the book. So, after exchanging the books in their hands, they went out of the library again with the flow of readers—and they were very different from others to test the degree of friendship and the way they developed their feelings. That is, for each book read, each other will pick up the pages of the book and pass it to each other for answering, which can also be regarded as an exam! This is another afternoon of extracurricular activities. By the time some of the readers arrived in a panic, the huge library reading room was already full. Zheng Renjun and Liao Ruolin had already sat down in their respective positions. However, they did not seize the time to choose a book to read, but from the books exchanged by the other party, they easily turned out the test paper of the other party to test their "reading difficulties"; and hurried to review the questions and answer them—when they finished the test papers, they put them into the book again and exchanged them. Soon two hours passed, and it was time for the end of the class for extracurricular activities and the closing time of the library, and the two of them naturally hurried out of the library with the flow of people after class.

In the long run, the two students, who were originally hungry and thirsty for new knowledge, not only enriched and accumulated knowledge but also deepened their friendship through mutual help and mutual encouragement, and also implemented the trust agreement of "improving together and working together" at the beginning. In this way, after a whole semester, although they are also like other lovers in love, they have not made appointments with each other, and they have not been less in love, but not only has it not affected their respective studies, but they have made faster progress than those classmates who study hard alone. When some of his classmates asked him for advice with a sense of ridicule, they replied kindly and humorously: "This is a 'secret' that we have kept for each other, and it is patentable; Of course, "people have seven emotions and six desires"; they are not monks, they are also called men and women; when they fall in love, they will inevitably have ** hungry and thirsty times, and from time to time they need each other to care for each other. Classes during the day, sleep at night, and extracurricular activities in the library are all collective occasions, and there is no opportunity for individual contact, let alone mutual affection and affection? So, is there really no chance? In those years of college life, when they graduate and go out of school, what happens to those pairs? Despite the limited conditions, each of them has supernatural abilities. Zheng Liao and the others are not stupid than anyone else, and they have their own tricks to get along alone and solve their hunger and thirst - therefore, those classmates who pay attention to the development of their love and love find that this pair of "nerdy" lovers will also walk out of school hand in hand in their spare time, like other lovers, and come to the shade of the willows on the embankment on the bank of the Qishui River; After a whole day of continuous lectures in the classroom, extracurricular activities and reading in the library, in order to relieve physical and mental fatigue, the two met to sneak out of the school gate and return to the Qishui River. Listen to the breeze of this early autumn night while strolling; listen carefully to the "crickets" of the branches of the trees under the moonlight; enjoy the night scene in this situation! The ancient saying says "touch the scene and give birth to love"; how many famous sentences in the ancient poems and texts praise love and love? Xue Lin and I are both high-achieving students of the Chinese Department of the College of Letters; I have been intoxicated with library reading and exhibition books for more than a year; I am familiar with many famous poems and sentences-"'The cold cicada is poignant, the long pavilion is late, and the shower is at the beginning of the break. There is no continuation of the Dumen tent, Fang is nostalgic, and Lan Zhou is light. I immediately stood on a high place, raised my head and stretched out my hand, like a Lang manga poet, touching the scene, and couldn't help but chant the famous poem "Yulin Ling, Autumn Farewell" by Liu Yong, a great poet of the Song Dynasty. Holding hands and looking at each other's teary eyes, they were speechless and choked. Thinking of going to a thousand miles of smoke and waves, the twilight is heavy and the sky is wide. Affectionate parting since ancient times, even more Nakan, snubbing the Qingqiu Festival. Where will I wake up tonight? On the willow bank, the wind and the waning moon! This past year should be a good day and a good time. Even though there are a thousand kinds of customs, who can you talk to?'"

"Bah, bah, bah, go!" Arlene hurriedly ran over, and immediately covered my mouth and said dissatisfiedly. "The two of us are walking in the shade of the willows on the causeway in the moonlight tonight, and we are talking about love. If you know how to use the scene to express lyricism, you can also chant it, if you don't understand, don't use it indiscriminately. Song Liuyong, a merry and talented man, does not do his job all day long, but he moans without illness in the group of singers. Hmph, what 'holding hands and looking at each other's teary eyes, but speechless and choking', and what 'amorous parting since ancient times, even more so Kan, snubbing the Qingqiu Festival'-listen, these are all unlucky sentences. As soon as we fell in love, did you start to worry about 'hurting parting' and 'snubbing the Thousand Autumn Festival' in the future?"

"Hey, hey, I said dear Ouyang Xuelin, are you too nervous? Are you too nervous?" Listening to the other party's point-to-point point, I immediately felt a sigh of relief, knowing that it was inappropriate to quote this word at this time, but I was vain and loved face, and I was unwilling to admit my mistake immediately, but understated and emphasized objectivity. "I'm just a little metaphysical. Because he saw that the moonlight was good tonight, and it happened to be under the shade of the willows on the causeway, he thought of Liu Yong's poem casually. As for bad luck, I didn't think about it that much for a while. That being said, forget it, and let it blow away. Let's just chant the auspicious ones. In the shadow of the moon, I immediately smiled secretly and said, casually with ulterior motives and thoughtful: "Ha, there is a saying that 'when the flowers bloom, you only need to fold, don't let the gold bottle be empty to the moon'." Come, my dear, I want to be in love with you at this good time—"

As he spoke, he took the other party into his arms and hugged him tightly, and while kissing Arlene passionately, my hands were not idle, anxiously unbuttoning each other's shirts, and eagerly reaching into each other's corsets, and immediately and accurately grasping the two soft peaks - just like that, the two first met in the library, and they became "bounded" by "books" Because of their similar origins and fates, and because of their like-mindedness, their feelings have warmed up rapidly in a short period of time. So much so that the two of us have privately agreed many times: when Arlene graduates in the first year, find a fixed job, and lay a good foundation for life; and then when I graduate, I will insist on "marrying a wife and following a wife"; and work together to create a happy future that belongs to me alone-every time I discuss to a proud place, as long as I am away from the eyes and ears of the crowd, I can't help but be passionate, and I can't help but embrace her beloved into my arms and caress her with affection - alas, but the things in this world will always be "woe and blessing rely on, and blessing and misfortune lurk in the world"! Just when the two of us were in the eyes of our classmates, the love and happiness were enviable, and the couple who were also full of consciousness in their hearts were immersed in the beautiful vision of the future and life, and they were unprepared and unexpected, and disasters and injuries were quietly coming to us. And this calamity and harm come from the so-called leaders and teachers who are always familiar with us and seem to care for themselves.

It is also the so-called elder teacher who is sanctimonious, in order to finally get Ouyang Lin, conspiring and tricking to set a trap, and the incident that wants to break us up is about to happen; after obtaining information from some reliable channels in advance, in order to test my true attitude and discuss countermeasures with me, after another autumn dinner, Arlene specially invited me to the willow forest on the embankment on the Qishui River outside the school.

"What's the matter, Arlene? What happened?" After the two of us met on time in the old place deep in the willow forest as promised, I naturally couldn't help but hug each other into my arms immediately, and kissed them naturally, but after being gently pushed away by the other party, I asked in deep astonishment. "Who provoked you?" But after asking for a long time, the other party did not say a word, which aroused my vigilance, when in the faint sunset, I vaguely saw her red and swollen eyes, and both gloomy and painful expression, I asked more and more puzzled: "Don't say anything to relieve me, deliberately said that nothing happened." Your obviously weeping, swollen eyes and the expression of pain you can't hide are clear evidence of a sudden accident. Only if you tell me the truth, can you give you ideas and discuss countermeasures. ”

"My good Ah Liang, alas, the development of life, may be mistaken by your chanting of Liu Yongci that night. Has our epiphany-like love come to an end? It's time to 'hurt and part' and 'snub the Qingqiu Festival'?" Arlene said worriedly while subconsciously avoiding my gaze. "Do you know the way? Someone has put a bar between us. ”

"What the hell is going on? Who dares to interfere with the legitimate love between us?" I immediately became anxious when Arlene said this, and I asked as quickly as I raised my eyebrows. "Tell me quickly, or you're going to die." Seeing my serious attitude and anxious expression, Arlene probably put my heart at the beginning of the first place, and also got some comfort, and then calmed down temporarily, and under my repeated urging, finally told the ins and outs of the matter sadly-
