Chapter 14: An Unforgettable Scene
Walking alone on a quiet campus, Qin Ran always had an indescribable sense of steadiness in his heart.
He thinks back to the trajectory of his life, and basically spent it on campus, so it's no wonder that he has a special affection for school. In the last time and space, Qin Ran studied hard all the way for more than 20 years, and the main battlefield of his life was on campus, but when he left school to join the society, he encountered a flying disaster and fell short. I am fortunate to have another chance last day, but I still have to spend half of my time on campus, and I really have an indissoluble bond with it.
Qin Ran found a good place for him to spend his extra time on campus. The teacher's reading room in the library, quiet and spacious, was originally a place for him and Wang Yaxuan to tutor, but now it has become a paradise for him to read when he is alone. The earlier pass was still valid, and the teacher in charge of the library had already seen Qin Ran and allowed him to go to the teacher's reading room alone to read books. Because every time this young male student would clean the reading room, it indirectly saved her time and energy.
Walking up the stairs, he was about to turn into the corridor of the reading room of the classroom, when Qin Ran ran ran into an acquaintance.
"Hey, why are you here?"
Ye Linghan, who had short hair, asked in surprise as he was holding a few books that had just been borrowed from the library.
"Just like you, read a book."
For this girl who transferred from Tianjing Middle School, Qin Ran's first impression of her was still very good. What's more, the two also had a seat "neighbor" relationship for a while, so compared with the other girls in the class, the two are quite familiar.
"How are you going to walk over there, doesn't it say 'Student Stop'?"
Ye Linghan kindly pointed to the warning sign above the stairs.
"Well, that's an exception for me."
Qin Ran was embarrassed to say that he had a pass, so he had to play haha with the short-haired girl and continue to walk to the teacher's reading room.
"Hey, take me, I want to see it too!"
For the short-haired girl's invisible appearance, Qin Ran was a little helpless but embarrassed to refuse. When she came to Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School, Ye Linghan seemed to be far from the indifferent girl she saw at the Hong Kong Friendship Club, especially when she was alone with herself, it was like a different person, Qin Ran sometimes wondered if she had a twin sister.
"Hello teacher—"
Just as he was about to say hello to the library teacher, Qin Ran wanted to say a few good words in order to take Ye Linghan in, but saw that the other party just waved his hand to signal Tong Guò and then continued to bury his head in knitting sweaters. Don't look for trouble if you have nothing to do, Qin Ran swallowed the words that came to his mouth immediately, and hurriedly took the short-haired girl to the door of the teacher's reading room.
Pushing open the door of the reading room, Ye Linghan's eyes lit up, under the transparent glass window was a neat and orderly wide desk, different from the crowded student reading room, this is simply a VIP level treatment.
"No wonder, you're really enjoying it!"
The short-haired girl glanced at Qin and said.
"It's a coincidence, isn't it? The school teachers rarely came, so I was cheaper. ”
Qin Ran no longer covered it up, and told the truth.
Next, of course, Ye Linghan had to ask how to come to the teacher's reading room openly, and Qin Ran had no choice but to hand her the pass in his hand.
"So that's it? As long as you have it, will you be able to come back more often? ”
Holding the pass, Ye Linghan asked.
"As far as I know, yes."
While taking out the book, Qin Ran replied.
Qin Ran came to the place where he usually sits, and then pushed the schoolbag to the desk space corresponding to the seat opposite, that position is where Wang Yaxuan often sits when he comes, and he subconsciously doesn't want this short-haired girl to sit there. Therefore, he deliberately made a small move and used his schoolbag to squeeze the space on the stage, leaving no trace, so Ye Linghan had to choose the position by the window on the side of the square table.
Originally, the short-haired girl really wanted to sit opposite Qin Ran, but saw that he unconsciously pushed the schoolbag in front of him and squeezed the desktop in that position. Ye Linghan was embarrassed to let Qin Ran take away his schoolbag, so he had to retreat and choose the seat by the window at a 90-degree angle on Qin Ran's right hand.
"Whew-"
Seeing that things were happening as he expected, Qin Ran couldn't help but sigh in his heart. I didn't think that my heart would be soft for a while, and let this new transfer student follow, Qin Ran regretted it a little. If the other students knew, especially the girl who had tutored for herself, it didn't seem to end so well.
Now that the wood is in the boat, Qin Ran gathered his mind and didn't think too much, and after signaling to Ye Linghan, he entered his own reading world. Originally, he thought that he had made small achievements by relying on his intelligence, but with the expansion of the company's scale and the deepening of his efforts in society, Qin Ran felt that he was still a little immature and needed to further improve himself.
Life requires experience to mature, which is why successful men in their forties and fifties always have a unique charm. When he was in his twenties, he may have been just a young and impulsive young man, but after the ups and downs of life and the precipitation of the years, like ore in the hands of craftsmen to carefully polish and remove impurities and edges and corners into an unpretentious jade, the hairy young man has finally become a calm and capable successful person who is trusted by others.
Reading books to expand the scope of knowledge, of course, will not make people mature immediately and calmly deal with all kinds of complex problems. Life is not science fiction, people are not computers, and it is just whimsical to be able to work immediately after typing in a number of jùs. But at least in the face of difficulties, it can provide more ideas for people to choose, so as to have an extra chance of turning the tables, Qin Ran's current thoughts are like this.
"Thick Black Studies" - Mr. Li Zongwu's famous work, he preached that people's skin should be as thick as the city wall, and the heart should be as black as coal, so as to become a hero.
Qin Ran opened the pages of the book and began to study carefully, Mr. Li Zongwu's thoughts can be discussed, but the book is another way of dealing with the world when the Chinese pursue the golden mean. People will have different opinions on the same thing, let alone the same book, and everyone will get different spiritual food from it. In the past, when I was studying in college, it was a feeling, but now Qin Ran's re-reading experience is a different flavor, especially combined with his practical experience in the past one or two years.
The teacher's reading room quickly quieted down, and the short-haired girl also took out a book and began to study, and the sound of turning the pages came from time to time in Qin Ran's ears. No, it seemed that there was also a smell coming from his nose, which made Qin Ran secretly look towards its birthplace.
Observing the short-haired girl sitting on the side reading a book out of the corner of his eye, Qin Ran couldn't help but think of what had happened in this room with another long-haired girl before. Especially the scene of the two hiding behind the bookshelf, as if it happened yesterday, Qin Ran's nose moved vigorously, as if he wanted to recreate the moment with his sense of smell.
The air was indeed filled with the fragrance of girls, but it was not the familiar smell in Qin Ran's brain, but the new smell of the short-haired girl next to him.
"It's lighter than the taste of brain memory!"
Qin Ran secretly inhaled again, carefully felt the difference, and said silently in his heart.
Just finished the comparison, but found that Ye Linghan was staring at him intently, as if he had found something. Qin Ran immediately felt a burst of heat on his face, feeling like he was caught red-handed as a thief.
"The gardenia downstairs is so fragrant, I didn't expect to smell it here."
In order to cover up his actions just now, the thick-skinned Qin Ran hurriedly came up with a lame excuse.
"yes, how come I can't smell it?"
Ye Linghan seemed to ignore Qin Ran's abnormality just now, and said after smelling the air.
"Everyone's nose sensitivity is different, just like a dog's nose has 250 million olfactory cells, which is more than 10,000 times that of a human's sense of smell, so it's normal to have a slight difference."
Using the professional knowledge obtained from reading books as a cover, Qin Ran wanted to expose this embarrassing scene in a foolish way.
"Yes, so the scent of flowers that the human nose can't smell, the dog's nose can smell. Don't you say? ”
With a sly smile on his face, Ye Linghan said otherwise.
"Yes...... That's weird! ”
Qin Ran was about to come down, and the word "yes" had already been exported, but after thinking about it, he found that the other party had dug a pit and waited for him. If you answer yes, isn't it equivalent to admitting that you are a dog's nose? So he hurriedly changed his words to make amends.
"Haha-
Although the plan did not succeed, Ye Linghan still laughed happily. For a boy as powerful as Qin Ran, it is already a very good achievement to be able to let him step into his trap with half a foot, which is why the short-haired girl is so happy.
Mainly because of his small actions, Qin Ran fell into an instantaneous chaos, otherwise it would not be so easy for Ye Linghan to rectify him.
Wang Yaxuan studied by herself in the classroom, opened the workbook and did a few questions, but she always felt uncertain. She wasn't sure what was going on, so she glanced around the corner behind her and saw that the place by the back door was empty. Close your eyes and prepare to recuperate for a while, so that your irritable mood can calm down, but after 30 silent recitations in your heart, it is still the same.
When she opened her eyes, the girl looked out the window, and just through the branches and leaves, she saw that the teacher's reading room in the library seemed to be open.
"Smack-"
The girl closed the pencil case, then packed up the exercise book, put on her school bag and decided to go to the library.
"Wow-"
There was a sound of footsteps at the door of the teacher's reading room, and Qin Ran felt familiar when he heard the sound.
Soon a familiar figure flashed out of the window, and then he saw the long-haired girl he had just secretly remembered appear in front of him as he wished.
"It's so lively, I didn't bother you, did I?"
At first glance, Qin Ran was happy in his heart, but at the second glance, he found that Ye Linghan's happiness was quickly replaced by unhappiness, Wang Yaxuan felt that this was probably the feeling of joy and sorrow. However, as a famous family, Wang Yaxuan was still able to control her feelings and do her best to say the above words with a smile. But her stiff tone suggests that her true thoughts are not as calm as they seem.
"Of course not. The two of us met downstairs and took her in for a visit. ”
Seeing that Wang Yaxuan was unhappy, Qin Ran was a little weak-hearted, and subconsciously said something with an explanatory taste.
"I can't think of another world here, really...... It is suitable for reading and studying. ”
Ye Linghan was also surprised when he saw Wang Yaxuan suddenly standing at the door, and his first reaction was to cooperate with Qin Ran's words, and then picked up the book in his hand and raised his voice.
Wang Yaxuan didn't answer, just looked back and forth on Qin Ran and Ye Linghan.
Obviously, there was nothing between the three of them, but it was like being caught stealing-love, and the atmosphere was embarrassing for a while. The scene also fell silent, neither girl spoke, and time seemed to freeze. Originally, Ye Linghan was a little weak-hearted, but when she saw Wang Yaxuan looking at her with a provocative look, she didn't do anything wrong, she was not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, and she was also stiff, and she met the eyes of the girl at the door without giving in.
The already tense reading room seems to have added another fire, and it only takes one spark to land to cause a big explosion.
What's next?
