Volume I, Chapter 13

Lauren pulled Yu You to a closed fence-like copper gate and stopped, looking through the fence on the door, Yu You also looked in with Lauren's gaze, only to see that there was a large space inside, with a lot of wooden bookshelves, just ten meters away from the door, was a huge glass display case, which contained a book with a leather cover. The book was spread out, much larger than a tabletop, occupying an entire glass display case, and the yellowed pages were filled with illustrations in illustrable letters, mottled with ink that had been blurred by the years.

Yu Yu asked, "What kind of book is this?" So big. ”

Lauren looked at the book with interest and said, "I guess it's a magic book, we all call it 'The Big Book', it seems to be a very precious edition, no one has ever touched it, I always wanted to see what was written in it." You see, the paper is different from what we use now, it looks brittle, and maybe it turns to ashes when you touch it. ”

At this moment, a soft call suddenly came from behind: "Lauren ......" It was a pleasant male voice, the empty corridor amplified the sound, and the tail echoed, sounding like the call of God full of magic.

In the empty, cold, gloomy stone corridor, there was such a voice from Leng Buding, and both girls were startled. They all turned back in unison, and saw a tall, pale man standing in the shadow at the end of the corridor.

Yu You was a little scared in his heart, and asked Lauren with a trembling voice: "Who is it?" ”

Lauren whispered to Yu You with a look of horror, "Have you watched The Vampire Diaries?" I've heard that we have vampires living in this library......"

Yu You immediately felt the hairs on his body stand up, and he let out an exclamation of "ah", and suddenly threw himself into Lauren's arms. Lauren couldn't hold back anymore when he hugged Yuyou, and laughed.

At this time, the man came from the shadows and said to Lauren, "It's all ten years, and you still like to play pranks so much, what should you do if you freak out the freshmen?" ”

Before she could fully recover herself, she cautiously lifted her head from Lauren's arms and peeked at the boy in front of her. It's no wonder that Lauren jokes that he is a vampire, his impeccable handsome appearance and slightly pale complexion really bear a high resemblance to the vampires in the movie. Only the thick brown-red hair, like a small flame of fire, added vitality and a little affinity to this noble and arrogant appearance.

The boy was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was very classic-looking, and if he were not dressed in modern attire, it would have been doubted that he had traveled from the Middle Ages. He was slender and sturdy, and a plain dark blue T-shirt was casually worn by him with an otherworldly taste, revealing a graceful bearing peculiar to the well-bred aristocratic children of New England, eternally friendly and detached, perceptive, and unfazed.

At this moment, he lowered his eyes to observe the good-looking mixed-race girl beside Lauren, her dark brown eyes flashed behind her long and thick eyelashes, exuding light, as if she had discovered a rare treasure.

Lauren smiled and asked Yu You, who was clinging to him, "Did you scare you?" ”

Yu You shook his head in embarrassment, only to find that he was subconsciously holding Lauren, and for a while, his pink and delicate cheeks were stained with a faint rose color, and he looked very cute.

The young man stepped forward, generously stretched out his marble-white and wide palm, and said to Yu You, "Hello! My name is William, and it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

I don't know if it's because of the frightening or because the temperature here is too low, Yu You's outstretched hand trembled slightly, she tried to calm down, and whispered, "I...... Call...... Cynthia. The voice was choppy and disjointed.

The boy politely held Yu Yu's hand and showed her a frank smile, Yu Yu immediately felt the nostalgic warmth in the boy's palm, she raised her eyes, and found that this "vampire" not only had deep and charming eyes, a straight and arrogant nose, full and sexy lips, and such a polite and elegant demeanor.

William said thoughtfully: "Your hands are so cold, is the temperature in the library area too low?" It's a constant temperature and humidity, so let's go to the reading area. ”

The three of them walked out, and Lauren said to Yu You: "It's okay to come to School A, you can't know him, he is a well-known figure in our school, not only the president of the student union, the president of the drama club, but also the sports star of the two school teams." Oh, by the way, didn't I just say that we have a chess master in our school? It's him, and you can have time to compete with him. ”

William, who was sturdy, smiled silently, and always took a few steps forward, opening the heavy doors that were closed in front of the two girls.

Lauren asked, "William, what are you doing in the library alone?" ”

"On Sunday, I had a talk in the chapel, and I came to write it, what about you?" William replied.

"I'm bringing new students to visit, if you're not busy, can you join us and introduce our library to the new students by the way?"

William stole a glance at Yu You, who was walking with her head down, in such a large and empty space, her figure seemed even more petite, her skin was delicate and smooth, her facial features were delicate and delicate, perfect and fragile like a silk doll, and a desire to protect her rose in his heart. "Willing to help." William smiled in response to Lauren's question.

The three of them walked out of the library area, and William began to dutifully introduce the new students: "Our school library has millions of books, some of which are very rare, and some of which are even unique In addition to this, there are a large number of precious manuscripts and notes......

Yu You has always loved to read, and when he heard William say this, he tilted his head and asked, "Can those unique books and manuscripts also be borrowed?" ”

Lauren grinned and said, "Of course you can." All but the "big book" in our library can be borrowed, even the precious notes and manuscripts from hundreds of years ago, right, William? ”

William gave a casual "um" and answered, his eyes occasionally passing over Lauren, who was walking in the middle, and looking at Yu You.

He patiently explained, while paying close attention to see if Yu You was listening to him: "Our library is not only those old antiques, but also a considerable number of film, television and audio-visual materials, and the library's online platform is also connected to 21 authoritative academic information databases. Ensuring that students can find all the materials they need is a mission of our library. ”

Yu Yu nodded earnestly, his long soft chestnut-colored hair flowing with a faint sheen.

William added to Yu You with concern: "Cynthia, if you don't know how to search the academic information database, I can find a time to give you a detailed guide, if you are interested in movies, I can also recommend a few ...... I like for you."

Lauren said angrily: "William, when I first came to school last year, why didn't anyone provide me with these help and guidance? ”

The corners of William's lips curved into a beautiful arc, smiled slyly, and said, "Eleventh grade is my busiest time, if I neglect you, I really want to say sorry." Fortunately...... There's Daniel to make up for last year's mistakes......"

Yu Yu guessed who Daniel William was talking about, and smiled lightly.

While talking, the three of them have already arrived at the reading area, where there are large glass windows with good lighting, giving Yu Yu the illusion of returning to the real world from the illusory world.

William took Yu You around the reading area, pulled her to the window again, pointed to one after another desks designed with gabled wooden walls, and said to her: "This is where I often come to, I like this kind of semi-enclosed booth-style independent space, where I can write homework and check information, and I will never be disturbed...... and then asked carefully and softly: "It's not cold now, is it?" ”

"It's better." Yu Yu said.

William pointed to the open space with rows of wooden tables not far away, and said, "There is a reading area over there, which is usually quieter, if you just want to surf the Internet, or do some light reading, you can go over there, there are open shelves of newspapers and magazines and some bestsellers." ”

Lauren stood not far away, casually flipping through a new fashion magazine, and from time to time, looking up at William and Yuyou, she found that the president of the student union, who usually spoke concisely and vigorously, was a completely different person at this time.
