Chapter 9: Elo
The notebook in his hand was full of pages, and when Sharan put down the last book, he put down the pen, stretched, and pinched the bridge of his nose a little tiredly.
At this time, Shalan realized that the sky outside the window had completely darkened, and the Howard Library, which seemed a little empty, had been lit on the ceiling by the electric lights since I don't know when, and the large number of electric lights made the entire library seem like day even at night.
Looking up at a huge wall clock on the wall of the library, the time on which pointed to 8:27 p.m., made Sharan a little surprised, he felt that it might have been an hour at most, but he never thought that he had read a book for more than five hours at once.
"Isn't it surprising that time flies?"
Turning his head, Sha Lan looked at the person who spoke, slightly stunned, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated by three points.
This is a girl who laughs very well, not big or small with a curve on her mouth, showing white teeth, with three points playful, three parts intellectual, with a high nose bridge supporting a pair of round glasses, but it does not affect the beauty of her green eyes like a lake in the slightest, although her hair is tied casually with a black ribbon behind her head, and even a few strands of hair hang down from her forehead, but it does not make people feel sloppy and loose.
This is a perfect girl, Sharan said inwardly.
"Excuse me, what did you just say?" Sha Lan's face was slightly red, he was a lot of people with women in his previous life, but he had never met such a person who made him tempted, that kind of inner throbbing was a feeling that Sha Lan had never encountered in his previous life and this life, "You also know that I just read a book for a long time just now, so I was in a trance." ”
Hearing Sha Lan's second half of the sentence, which could almost be regarded as a cover-up, the girl just smiled slightly, and said again: "I just said, are you surprised that time flies quickly?"
Taking a deep breath to calm down, Sharan nodded in response, "That's right, I was indeed a little surprised by the passage of time just now. ”
"Knowledge and books have such magic, but unfortunately we are closing soon, and if you want to continue your research on the Mansme language, I suggest you come back tomorrow. ”
"You also know the Mansme language system?"
With a chuckle, the girl said: "Of course, the Mansme language system is a language system produced at the end of the Silver Age, but it is not well known, and this language system was eventually widely spread in the Bronze Age, so in general, many people think that it is the language system of the Bronze Age, but in fact it is not, specifically the Mansme language system originated from the end of the Silver Age." ”
When Sharan heard this, his face turned overjoyed, and he said, "In this way, you are also a scholar who has studied the Mansme language system very well?"
If you really want to learn this language, I suggest that you read "The Mansmei Language and History" written by the historian Ronald ten years ago, and "The Mansmei Language System and the Modern Lingua Franca" written by the linguist Winston a hundred and twenty years ago. ”
After speaking, the girl put away the books on Shalan's desk and began to tidy up the bookshelves, seeing the other party's appearance, Shalan also knew that this was a send-off, so she stood up and took her notebook and schoolbag to leave.
But at this time, Sharan pursed her lips with her schoolbag, suddenly turned her head, looked at the girl, and asked, "Nei, my name is Shalan-Wehrman, what is your name?"
The girl turned her head, she looked at Shalan, and said with a smile: "Isn't it a bit presumptuous to ask a girl's name so rashly?"
Stunned for a moment, Sha Lan scratched his head a little embarrassed, nodded and said, "It's indeed a bit presumptuous, but you helped me, so I think I should know your name somewhat." ”
Hearing Sha Lan's words, Yi Wen looked at Sha Lan, shook his head and said with a smile: "Okay, your reason convinced me, my name is Yi Wen, Yi Wen Grant." ”
"Elo, that's a good name. ”
"I think so too. ”
Looking at each other and smiling, Sha Lan exhaled a breath and said, "It's not too early, I won't bother you, and I'm leaving." ”
"Goodbye. ”
Nodding, Sharan left the Howard Library with his belongings and came to the car on the side of the road in the library, where the driver was already asleep.
With a slight knock on the window, Sharan got into the car and headed back to the Wynman estate.
By this time the dinner at the Weynman Manor had ended, and when Sharan returned to the mansion, he immediately got the butler who had been waiting here to convey the message that Rohr should see him when he returned.
"Grandpa Berman, the driver has been waiting for me for a long time, and he probably hasn't eaten yet, so please prepare some food for the driver. ”
When the butler heard Sha Lan's words, he nodded in surprise, and then smiled and whispered to Sha Lan: "Young Master Sha Lan, Lord Earl is a little dissatisfied with the fact that you didn't rush back to attend dinner. ”
"Thank you Grandpa Berman, I'm a little fascinated by reading in the Howard Library, so I'm coming back late, so I'm going to talk to my father. ”
"Oh, if it's a book, I think the Earl wouldn't be angry if he knew. ”
When the words fell, the housekeeper Old Berman looked at Shalan who turned around and walked towards the earl's study, and his face showed a look of surprise, he could feel that Shalan was a little different from before, he would never think about a driver before, and things like reading books had nothing to do with him, but this change was good after all, and Old Berman was still willing to see all the children of the Wirmman family become talents.
Carrying his schoolbag to Rohr's study, Sharan knocked lightly on the door of the study, and when he heard the sound of Rohr letting him in, he screwed the door handle and walked in.
Seeing that it was Sha Lan who returned, Luo Er put down the documents in his hand, frowned slightly and said, "Sha Lan, why didn't you come back for dinner today, I should have told you a long time ago that you must come back for dinner." ”
"Dad, I'm sorry, I looked up materials in the Howard Library after school, and I was a little fascinated by it, so I forgot the time, and I won't be next time. Taking out the notebook from his bag and placing it in front of Rohr, Sharan continued: "This is the note I wrote when I was reading, and my father can read it if he doesn't believe it." ”
