Chapter 10 Gratitude and Thanksgiving
"Huh?"
A soft sigh interrupted Chen Mo's train of thought.
Since Chen Mo sorted out the library, the number of people who came to borrow books had obviously increased, but most of the students only looked for some materials for a short time, and then left quietly, not staying here for too long.
Chen Mo, who was reading "Application Skills of E-level Skills", was disturbed by others and couldn't help but raise his head.
However, when he saw the comer, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then showed surprise and hurriedly got up from his seat.
"Mentor."
The person who came was none other than Qinghong.
"I heard Loulan say that she hired an administrator to be in charge of the situation here, she hasn't been here for a while, but the changes here are not small, is it you who said in her mouth?"
She looked Chen Mo up and down.
Chen Mo was a little embarrassed.
It has been more than a month since he came to the academy, he has already understood the habits of the disaster world, and gradually adapted to the life of this world.
After Chen Mo nodded, he said respectfully: "What books do you need, I'll help you." ”
"Hehe, no need, I'll just take a look at it."
Mentor Qinghong waved his hand and went into the depths of the library to take a look.
At least judging from her expression, there doesn't seem to be discrimination against Chen Mo's job as a librarian.
But at this moment, Chen Mo's heart is like an ant on a hot pot.
It's not that he's afraid of this mentor.
Although the mentor is sometimes very strict, most of the time he is on a case-by-case basis.
It is probably because she has taught too many hungry ghost students, and she has seen through all kinds of life, and this temporary employment relationship of the academy, in the opinion of this tutor, is still within the acceptable range, after all, it is just a group of hungry ghosts begging for a living.
Aside from his deep hatred for moths, the mentor did not show any obvious likes or dislikes for the time being.
What really made Chen Mo sit on pins and needles at this moment was that he realized that this would probably be an opportunity for him, an opportunity to really get close to his mentor and change his fate.
He didn't have the bribes of those adult starving ghosts.
Although after more than a month of accumulation, Chen Mo has accumulated 28 natural disaster contribution points in his hands, and he can't help but consume a few points in the middle, but these contribution points are probably still not worth mentioning in the eyes of the mentor.
Wanting to bribe is not qualifying.
As for trying to get closer, if you are too rash, it is easy to be self-defeating.
I don't know how many starving ghost students she brought out in her hands, but she changes them every 100 days, and she doesn't know how many slippery heads want to try to get closer to each other.
But for Chen Mo personally, now may be the only chance to change his fate during his time in the academy.
This time, it was the mentor who took the initiative to come over to say hello, not trying to get close to it himself.
This objectively created an opportunity for Chen Mo.
The difference is similar to the first meeting between a man and a woman, under the same conditions, the man tries to get close to the woman through various means, and meets the two parties by chance, and the latter will undoubtedly greatly dispel the woman's vigilance.
If you can seize this opportunity and get closer to the relationship between the two, your situation in the academy in the future may become completely different.
And this completely different result is likely to be the difference between life and death in the end.
It was precisely because this opportunity was so precious that Chen Mo was restless and did not dare to speak rashly.
He had to find an appropriate excuse, an excuse that the mentor couldn't refuse.
Chen Mo has never been as anxious as he is now.
It was said in a book.
In a person's life, there are often only a few opportunities, but successful people only need to seize one or two of these opportunities, whether they can seize the opportunity, in addition to personal choice, there is also providence.
If you seize the opportunity, it is the road to heaven, and if you can't seize the opportunity, you will be unknown.
Mentor Qinghong didn't know Chen Mo's complex psychology at this moment.
After searching the back shelves for a while, she finally found the book she was interested in.
She was about to put these books away and take them back to the office to read them slowly, and found that the environment of the library had been greatly improved after Chen Mo's tidying up these days.
I remember that every time I came over, the bookshelves were messy, the borrowing desks were shabby, and I always heard the shaking sound of the students, which made people feel irritated, and there were no drinking water facilities.
This made her look at Chen Mo more.
I remember when I was a starving ghost, I often came here to read and prepare for the future trials of the starving ghost......
Then she sat down at the desk in the borrowing office and began to read.
"Whew."
Seeing this, Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he seemed to have made a decision.
After quietly leaving the library, Chen Mo ran quickly to the cafeteria and came to the window of the consumption area.
This is a light brain device, facing the various recipe menus on the light curtain, Chen Mo finally gritted his teeth fiercely, and actually opened the intermediate recipe option.
"A cup of sugar-free fresh milk coffee, a high-quality nut pastry, a total of 12 contributions, please ask you (yes/no) to confirm."
"Yes."
Even though his heart was like a knife, Chen Mo still agreed.
You must know that the few contribution points he has spent this month have only bought a few junior ingredients when he can't help it.
But Chen Mo did not regret it.
He remembered that when he was a sophomore in high school, his friend Wu Huiteng was pursuing a girl, and he once told him that the same hundred yuan chasing his girlfriend, a lunch and two Häagen-Dazs snowballs would be two completely different effects.
A woman is a sensual animal, and she thinks very differently from men.
Contrast with the moment.
With only 12 points, used to bribe Mentor Qinghong, I am afraid that there is only a sneer in response to Chen Mo, but if it is a cup of high-quality coffee and a piece of exquisite pastry, the effect will be completely different.
Of course, this is only the first step to success.
Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief.
Mentor Qinghong must also understand this, if there is no suitable reason, it is likely to be self-defeating, Chen Mo must also have an excuse that the other party can't refuse.
A moment later.
A cup of fragrant milk coffee with a kitten motif drawn on the coffee, and a fluffy praline pastry with an enticing aroma.
Fortunately, it's not mealtime, otherwise I'm afraid it would have attracted a lot of attention.
After all, it is too luxurious for a starving ghost to buy food at this level.
Chen Mo took the pastries and coffee and ran quickly towards the library.
He had never been as nervous as he was now, both afraid that he was too slow and that his mentor had left, and that he was too fast and had accidentally wasted these precious ingredients.
Finally.
When Chen Mo, who was terrified all the way, returned to the library and saw that familiar figure, he breathed a sigh of relief and tried to calm his breathing.
He slowly walked over to Mentor Qinghong and placed coffee and pastries in front of her.
"Tutor, your coffee and pastry."
The aroma of coffee and pastry caught the attention of the green and red tutors.
Frowning slightly.
She looked away from the book, looked at Chen Mo in surprise, and looked up and down for a while, revealing a thoughtful expression.
"This kind of thing, it shouldn't be something you can afford, you're really generous."
Then she sneered.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Seeing the other party's expression, Chen Mo would not doubt at all that this would be the last calm before the storm, and it was the same when she drove Du Qingqing out of the classroom.
If it's self-defeating, you'll be miserable.
Mentor Qinghong sneered inwardly.
This little guy, would he be naïve to think that this little favor can impress him?
Can't you see his thoughts?
He was so naïve.
"Mentor, have you forgotten that day?"
"Huh?"
Qinghong was a little surprised, and the situation was a little different from what he imagined.
Qinghong had already made up his mind that no matter what this guy wanted to ask of him, he would fight back in the most severe way, like a storm, and then spill the coffee fiercely, making him completely give up those unrealistic fantasies.
Unexpectedly, the other party revealed mixed emotions of remembrance and gratitude.
This made her a little confused.
Quietly, Qinghong raised her eyebrows.
"What did I forget?"
Chen Mo made an effort to smile.
"For you, it may be just a trivial matter, just the first day of school, giving a starving ghost student a small packet of biscuits, but for me, it is a lifesaver."
Belch?
After Chen Mo reminded her like this, she remembered it.
At that time, because I was curious about his attributes, I did give him a small packet of leftover biscuits.
"When I was very young, my mother taught me to give me papaya, repay me with Qiongju, repay the bandits, and repay the favor of people with a drop of water, and repay me with a spring. Yes, it is true that this food is not something I can afford now, and it is half a month's salary for me here, but I do not expect to repay you for it, but I only do my best to show my heart. ”
The small packet of biscuits at the beginning really made Chen Mo remember it in his heart, and his gratitude to Mentor Qinghong at this time was also sincere, from the bottom of his heart, he did think about how to repay it, but he never thought that it would be this situation.
Hearing this, Qinghong lowered her head.
"I see."
The suspicion I just had just formed a strong contrast with the other party's intention to repay the favor.
After wronging a good person, she couldn't help but feel guilty.
This kind of guilt is somewhat similar to the guilt of pleading.
After the end of the Michi meeting, Lin Xiangru worked hard and made great achievements, and was named the secretary of Zhao State, ranking above Lian Po.
Lian Po was not convinced, and threatened to humiliate Lin Xiangru in person, Lin Xiangru learned about it, tried to avoid tolerance, did not conflict with Lian Po, Lian Po was proud, thinking that Lin Xiangru would only play lip service, and he had a false name, but Erer, so he was arrogant.
The doorman thought that Lin Xiangru was afraid of Lian Po, and Lin Xiangru replied: Qin did not dare to offend Zhao, because of me and General Lian, I avoided and tolerated General Lian because Zhao Guo was in front and the individual was behind.
After Lian Po learned about it, he was ashamed, and only then did he have the story of pleading guilty.
Qinghong picked up his coffee with both hands.
"Vote for me with papaya, repay it with Qiongju, and repay the bandits."
When the milk coffee entered between her lips and teeth, she never imagined that it was so delicious and sweet, so that her rock-solid heart couldn't help but be inexplicably touched.
"Mentor, if you want to call me again?"
Chen Mo left at the right time.
Qinghong's heart is like numbness.
One is the guilt of wronging a good person, if it is just a bystander, or if it happens to an "NPC" in the mission world, as a natural disaster, it will not be like this.
But it happened to the world of disaster, and it happened to herself, which made her feel like she was in turmoil.
The second is the other party's gratitude.
I threw away the leftover biscuits, and even forgot about it, but the other party was willing to repay himself with half a month's labor income, which is even more precious in the disaster world, a place that pays attention to the interests of the world and the strong is king.
Time passes.
6 p.m. is the library's closing time.
Before Chen Mo could speak, Qinghong took the initiative to get up, and when she passed by Chen Mo's side, she said casually: "I remember that you have a talent for stone skin, right?" ”
"Yes."
Chen Mo responded.
"Hmm."
Qinghong nodded.
"Since you have talent, it's a pity to waste it like this, don't just focus on mental development, you also have to develop your physique, and only if you survive can you be qualified to become stronger, come to my office in the evening, if I have time, I will guide you individually on cultivation skills."
After speaking, without waiting for Chen Mo to respond, she strode out of the library.
"Thank you, mentor."
Chen Mo muttered in a low voice, his mood equally complicated.
Like Mentor Qinghong, he is also ashamed of his previous filthy heart, and uses his interests to calculate the gains and losses of his gratitude.
But I am also glad that I seized this opportunity and seized this opportunity to change my fate.
"The husband walks in troubled times, when he is above board, even in adversity, he should bend down and guard his part, and when the time comes, he must not fight against his fate."
After Chen Mo checked the library, he locked the doors and windows and left.
