The bookstore is located in a rather bustling section, although it is in the middle of the city, it is quiet in the middle of the noisy, which makes people linger extraordinarily.

It's been a very cold day, but there aren't many people reading books, which makes the bookstore look even quieter and more empty.

It's cold outside, but it's warm inside, and the yellow and white lights are shining, making people feel sleepy.

The rich aroma of coffee came, and on the left side of the bookstore was the drink area, Yan Qing saw that many people had a cup of coffee in front of them, and then spread out the book and read it carefully. Yan Qing burst out laughing when he saw this scene, as if he was embarrassed to say that he was here to read a book without a cup of coffee. There are also passers-by who took books and hurriedly checked out, and did not come to enjoy this great afternoon tea time carefully, and hurriedly walked into a certain office building.

"The book is here." Observing the reader on the left, Takato came over and whispered something in her ear.

Yan Qing turned her head and looked at the books on the right, the covers of red, red, green and green colors were carefully classified and arranged in a neat and orderly manner, and when she saw these, she attracted her attention. She glanced at Takato and hurried to the books with joy.

I didn't feel sleepy for a while, and I looked at this book and flipped through that one, each one was exquisite, and just looking at the cover, I knew that there must be good content in it. Unlike the books she had seen in the library all her day, the books in the library were dead columns lying in the library, waiting for the students to glance at them inadvertently and take them back to turn a few pages. And the books here are completely different, they are alive and alive, as if every book is saying, "Look at me, look at me, flip through me, I'm good-looking."

Yan Qing also had no idea for a while, and he didn't know what book to pick up to read, but he was attracted by this one when he opened it, but Gao Yuan was not attracted by the dazzling number of books, and he was standing in one place. I've been looking at it with only a book in my hand. She leaned over to look curiously, only to see that he was holding a book that seemed to be about war, and Yan Qing lightly touched the cover - "Chinese Expeditionary Force".

He was fascinated, Yan Qing looked at him, and couldn't help but believe a little more in what he said before, he really likes history, even in the era of peace, he has not forgotten the history of the motherland when he is abroad, and he has not forgotten the history of the motherland, as for whether it is because of Ruoling or because of more reasons for interest, she really doesn't know, she guesses that it is because of Ruoling.

The surroundings were quiet, only occasionally hearing the sound of someone turning a book, Yan Qing lowered his voice and whispered: "I don't know what book to read." ”

Gao Yuan didn't seem to pay attention for a while, looked at her and asked, "What books do you usually read?" ”

"Read novels, masterpieces."

"Then go find a famous book to read? Over there. He pointed his finger diagonally forward, as if he was familiar with the place.

Yan Qing looked in the direction of his finger and asked, "Do you have any good books to recommend to me?" ”

"Masterpieces?" He closed the book in his hand and thought, "Ordinary world. ”

"Yes."

"Yu Hua's "Alive" and "Brothers"

"I've seen it too."

"Border City", "Siege"

Yan Qing thought for a while and said, "Do you have any good foreign masterpieces to recommend to me?" I've seen a lot of them in China, but I haven't seen them much abroad. ”

Gao Yuan walked to the bookshelf in front of him contemplatively, lowered his head and savored them one by one. Yan Qing followed behind him, and also followed his example and examined the books in front of him.

He stopped abruptly, picked up a book, and before he could see what it was called, he took a second book and covered it over the first. Yan Qing thought that he was going to turn around and give her the book in his hand, so he took a few more steps forward and took the third and fourth books.

He turned his head to look at Yan Qing and said to her, 'You go over there and find a seat first, and I'll order two cups of coffee.' As he spoke, he handed her the book in his hand.

Yan Qing quickly glanced at the five books in his hand, except for the one he just read "Chinese Expeditionary Force", the other four books were "The Old Man and the Sea", "Norwegian Forest", "Old Man Gao", and "One Hundred Years of Solitude".

Among them, "The Old Man and the Sea" was read by her in elementary school, and it was one of the books that the school required students to read, and she didn't understand why he would recommend this elementary school student's book to her, she wanted to put the book on the shelf, but when she thought that since he took it, maybe he wanted to read it himself? So I went to the left and found a bright place to sit down.

Gao Yuan ordered coffee and came back, Yan Qing gave him the book "Chinese Expeditionary Force" he took, and he whispered: "These books are all famous books from different countries." ”

Yan Qing wanted to speak, but it was quiet around her, and she nodded so she didn't want to disturb the people who were reading with all her heart. Pick up the top one and open it.

When the coffee came, Gao Yuandu gave her a cup and read the book to herself. Yan Qing looked back at him from time to time, but he was very serious, not like pretending at all, Yan Qing felt a little ashamed, at first he said that he wanted to read a book, but at this time it was not good to read well, just staring at others, so he returned to his mind and read seriously.

Relaxed and pleasant times always pass quickly, and you don't know when your stomach growls in the blink of an eye.

Gao Yuan glanced at Yanqing, looked at his watch again, and asked in a low voice, "Are these books okay?" ”

Yan Qing replied casually. And he said, "Give me the book." ”

Yan Qing handed him a copy of "Old Man Gao" that he was holding.

"All."

After a pause, he pointed to the rest of the books. She understood at once and handed him the remaining three books. He asked, "Are there any other books you'd like to buy?" ”

"Nope."

He walked towards the cashier with the book in his hand, Yan Qing saw that he seemed to want to buy a few books to buy, and hurriedly followed him and pulled him and said, "I have read "The Old Man and the Sea", and I have read it since I was a child. ”

He smiled and didn't speak, just continued to let the boss settle the bill. I was puzzled, and I thought to myself, why buy it after reading it?

As soon as he got out of the bookstore, Yan Qing couldn't wait to ask: "Have you read all these books?" ”

"Yes." He replied with a smile on his lips.

"How do you recommend these books to me?"

"These four books are American, French, Japanese and Latin American, and they are from different eras, so there will be different experiences."

Yan Qing nodded, and asked again: "Why did you still buy "The Old Man and the Sea", haven't you watched it?" ”

He stopped and asked, "Do you remember the story of "The Old Man and the Sea"?" ”

"Roughly remember, an old man fishing." To put it simply.

"What else?"

Yan Qing was about to make a tirade, and he immediately said, "What is the meaning?" ”

"Learn the spirit of the old man fishing."

"What spirit?"

"Be strong and brave."

"What else?"

"Persistence and perseverance."

He looked into Yanqing's eyes and said, "There is also a yearning for beautiful things. ”

Yan Qing also looked at his eyes, and kept repeating this sentence in her heart, she wanted to ask more, but she didn't know what to ask again. The other books, she thinks, will always make her understand some truth, not for no reason to stuff her books.

When the two were eating, and on the way back to see her off, the two chatted about Ba Jin, Lao She, Zhang Ailing, these authors, and discussed some topics such as history and war.

When the conversation and laughter stopped, Yan Qing looked at him and thought that he really didn't love the wrong person, he was not a noble son who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, and he looked like a young man of literature and art today, but he didn't show it easily, and he couldn't help but smile at the corners of his eyes.

At this time, Yan Qing felt that he was so close to her, as if he was within reach, but when he got out of the car and watched him drive away, he felt that the distance between the two was so far.

Wearing the gloves he had to let her wear when he just got out of the car, his heart was warm at this moment, carrying a heavy book, thinking about the future...... Don't think about it in the future, why bother with it.

Stretching out her umbrella and walking towards the dormitory, although the rain was not heavy, she walked very fast because of the cold.

Just past the library, a faint voice called her from behind.

Slowing down, the sound seemed to be gone again, and she thought she had misheard, and walked again.

"Su Yanqing." There was a sound of running up.

She turned her head, it was Liu Wei.

Liu Wei was out of breath for a while, and said, "It's really you." ”

"What's the matter, what's so urgent?" Yan Qing asked.

Liu Wei stopped, breathed a sigh of relief, and said clearly: "Slow down, slow down." ”

He slowly took out a gray thermos cup with a girl pattern from his schoolbag and said, "Here you go." ”

Yan Qing took it and looked at it, he liked the cup very much, and asked with a smile, "For me?" ”

"Yes, I saw that you didn't bring a thermos cup yesterday, and I happened to have a spare useless, so I specially brought it to you."

This gift was very much to her liking, and she just happened to have a thermos cup, and then looked at the gloves on her hands, and thought that today was really lucky, they were all very good and very good to me.

Liu Wei looked at Yan Qing and smiled, and said, "When did you leave yesterday, I waited for you from half past nine to the library until ten o'clock, and I didn't see you come out." ”

"I saw Xu Jie in the library yesterday, so I came out early and talked for a while." I felt a little sorry after saying that.

"She didn't say anything to you, did she? ”

"Just told her about her family."

The two stood in the wind, and Liu Wei said with some words in mind: "Yanqing, I saw that you didn't have a cup to read in the library, so I gave you this cup, if you take out the cup in the library in the future." ”

"Why?" Yan Qing glanced at the cup in his hand and asked suspiciously.

He looked uncertain and said, "You also need a cup to read in the library, so you can put this cup in the library." In this way, you don't have to carry it with you when you run around every day, which saves trouble. ”

Yan Qing also felt that it made a lot of sense when he heard it, and it really saved a lot of trouble.

The library was in front of him, and Yan Qing said, "I'll put the cup in the library now." ”

Liu Wei breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Go with you." ”
