Chapter 19: Inside the Library

The entrance of the first library in Beihai City.

Huo Long got out of the black car and said to Tong Xiaowu, "I'll go in by myself." You go to check what is going on in the courtyard of the Huo family, and after finding out, come back and pick me up. ”

"Okay, Brother Long. I'll do it right away. Tong Xiaowu responded happily, and the car disappeared as soon as the smoke slipped away.

Ten years ago, when the Huo family's business was booming, Huo Xiaotian bought a piece of land in the suburbs of Beihai and built a courtyard house, all of which were designed in a traditional style.

"Dad, everyone builds villas, why do we build courtyards? Moreover, the style is too old-fashioned, right? ”

"Long'er, dad is looking forward to you finding a good daughter-in-law in the future, giving birth to a few more sons, and having children and grandchildren full of happiness."

Recalling his father's kind words, Huo Long walked into the library.

This is the largest library in Beihai City, with a rich collection of books, including astronomy and geography. Huo Long walked into the borrowing room with a familiar car, the lights were as bright as day, there were not many people reading books, and there were a few male and female college students, sitting together, reading books, and communicating in a whisper.

Huo Long's eyes fell on a corner that was once all too familiar, ten years ago, he and Miao Ruolan often came here to read books after dinner.

It's this corner, the two of them are close to each other, what a sweet and beautiful time it was.

"Sir, what book would you like to read? I'm here for you. The librarian walked over to Huo Long, who was sitting in the corner, and said politely.

"Oh,"

Huo Long retracted his thoughts, smiled and nodded, "I want to read "Beihai Historical Chronicles", please help me find it." ”

"Okay, please wait."

Soon, a brand-new "Beihai Historical Chronicles" was placed in front of Huo Long.

After a quick glance at the catalog, Huo Long frowned slightly. What he was looking for was not recorded in the annals.

Five hundred years ago, when a tsunami struck the North Sea and flooded the entire city, after the sea receded, a huge stone weighing about several tons was found in the ruins with a strange sheen. Later, experts identified that this was a meteorite from outside space.

Huo Long learned about this matter from his master's mouth.

When he returned to Beihai this time, in addition to revenge, he also had a mission, which was to find out the whereabouts of the meteorite and find it.

"Huo Long, no matter what, you have to try to find that meteorite, and once you find it, you must tell Master as soon as possible." When I came down the mountain, Master's majestic and expectant words were still in my ears.

After going through the catalog again and carefully looking through the contents, Huo Long opened his mouth and asked, "Is there an old version?" The longer the better. ”

"Nope." The librarian replied affirmatively, "Only this edition, the most up-to-date and complete." The old version has long been eliminated, and even if there is, the content is not as detailed as this. ”

Horronton was disappointed.

He once thought of the possibility that the discovery of the meteorite after the tsunami should be very secretive, and it is inconvenient to publicize it to the public, and perhaps it will not be recorded in the historical records.

Unexpectedly, his guess was confirmed.

Where to find clues?

When Huo Long was groaning, a woman in a short purple skirt walked in from outside.

Her jet-black hair rests naturally on her shoulders, and her short blue shawl coat perfectly shows off her slender figure, her eyes are bright and penetrating, and her body exudes a charming smell.

"Ruolan..."

Huo Long was stunned, he passed by her in the cemetery during the day, and he didn't expect to meet again in the library where the two were once very familiar at night.

A stream of heat rushed up to his chest, his eyes trembling slightly, and his heart tried to control his excitement.

And, when Miao Ruolan walked towards the corner, she also saw Huo Long at a glance. Suddenly, she froze again.

At this moment, they looked at each other, their eyes met, and the figures of both sides were shocked. In each other's eyes, each other's shadows are reflected.

"Ruolan, ten years have passed, and you are still as beautiful as before, no, more beautiful than before. In addition to beauty, there is more mature temperament of a woman. Huo Long muttered softly in his heart.

"No, he's not Huo Long. It's just that they look similar. Looking at Huo Long, who had a cold temperament, Miao Ruolan thought to herself while thinking of the person in her heart, and there was a trace of helpless sadness in her eyes.

"Excuse me, is there anyone in this place?" Miao Ruolan, who had already walked over, smiled politely at Huo Long.

"Oh, no one." Huo Long got up and smiled back, "If there is someone, it can be reserved for you." ”

"You, what a humor. Thank you. Miao Ruolan responded with a smile, and after sitting down, she took out two books from the bag she was carrying, one in front of herself, and the other was gently placed next to her: "International Trade Studies".

The cover of the book is slightly yellowed, and it is clear that the book is a long time ago.

A wave of heat hit Huo Long's heart, and in an instant, his eyes moistened.

It's been ten years, she hasn't changed her mind, and I'm still in her heart.

"Long Long, this is the book I bought for you, you have to read it carefully, manage the Huo family's family business in the future, and don't let your father down."

"Ruolan, don't worry, I will."

In the past ten years, she still comes to the library to read books, and she always carries this book of "International Trade" in her bag...

I, for her, was always in her heart, and I didn't leave a single step.

With a rare tenderness and desire to speak in his eyes, unconsciously, Huo Long stretched out his hand and gently touched Miao Ruolan's head. This was a habitual move when getting along with each other ten years ago.

"You..." the latter froze, she stared at Huo Long with wide eyes, with incredulity in her eyes, a long-sealed memory appeared in her mind.

"Oh, I'm sorry, you're kind of like a friend of mine from before." After discovering that he was rude, Huo Long hurriedly apologized, and his hand quickly retracted.

Miao Ruolan did not answer.

At this moment, a sense of déjà vu rose up, and she couldn't help but be stunned, even if the book slipped from her hand and fell to the ground, she didn't even realize it.

Huo Long shook his head slightly, and said softly in his heart, "The habitual action of touching her head just now must have made her a little suspicious." ”

"Ruolan, I'm sorry, it's not the time to recognize each other. I'll explain it to you later. ”

There is a saying that iron-blooded men are gentle and affectionate, no matter how heroic they are, they can't escape the level of beauty, probably so.

Miao Ruolan, who suddenly came back to her senses, smiled a little embarrassedly, and when she wanted to lower her head and pick up the book that fell to the ground, Huo Long had already picked it up for her and handed it to her.

"Thank you." Her face was slightly red, and after softly thanking her, she smiled slightly, "You said I was like a friend of yours?" Coincidentally, I think you're so much like a person, and I... It's been a long time since I've seen him. ”

"Ah, there are really people in the world who look very similar, perhaps, this is the so-called destined person." Huo Long responded vaguely, and he closed the "Beihai Historical Chronicles".

He had to leave quickly, he had too much to do, and if he stayed a little longer, he might be uncontrollably touching the other person's head.

"Chronicles of the North Sea?"

After seeing the words on the cover at a glance, Miao Ruolan raised her head, flashed her good-looking eyes, and asked understandingly, "Do you want to leave now?" Didn't find what you were looking for? ”

"Yes, this is the latest version. However, there are some things that are not recorded. ”

"I have an original copy of the Beihai Historical Chronicles, which should be more complete than this, at home. If you need it, I can show you. ”

When she said this, Miao Ruolan had a sparkle in her eyes.

"Do you have the original?" Huo Long was overjoyed, "Thank you so much, oh, I'll leave the phone to you..."

As he spoke, he pulled out a golden card with a lifelike black dragon depicted on it. On the other side of the card, there is a seal shaped like a unicorn, and under the seal, there is a line of seventeen-digit numbers.

"It's... Is it your business card? Miao Ruolan took the card, looked through it a few times, and asked curiously.

If it's a business card, it's too strange, it doesn't have a name on it, just a dragon and a seal. However, the mobile phone number actually has seventeen digits.

"Yes." Huo Long smiled slightly and nodded. Then, he whispered to himself in his heart, "Come on, after I take revenge, I won't hide it from you." ”

With that, he turned and left.

The majestic and tall figure disappeared from Miao Ruolan's sight.

Looking at the other party's departing back, her figure trembled slightly, this, this scene is so similar to ten years ago, but, however, the person in front of her is not him.

Yes, it shouldn't be... He.
