Chapter Six(1/2)

The school bell rang at night, and Jian Xing was not in a hurry to pack up and went to the toilet first.

Xu Lu accompanied her and said casually: "How long have you been going to the toilet twice?"

Jian Xing paused to wash his hands and responded vaguely: "I drank too much water."

Xu Lu didn't care much about this matter, but just sighed with some worry: "I don't know where to fill in the school. I grow up so old, I only know Tsinghua and Peking University."

"Let's dig from the national university rankings." Jian Xing said.

"Hey? Yes!" Xu Lu was excited, then lost, "But we don't know the ranking."

"Or why go to the old book stall to see if there is any application guide for the previous class of students?" Jian Xing said.

Xu Lu's eyes lit up, "Is there any? Is it OK?"

Jane Xing said: "It should be, I'll walk and take a look."

There are two doors in Hezhong. There are many bookstores near the main gate, but there is nothing in the small gate. Xu Lu has to go home from the small gate, so she had to say to Jian Xing: "Then you find it and buy one directly. I won't go. You bring it here tomorrow, let's go."

"No," used books are usually cheap, two or three dollars, Jane Xing said, "I'll buy one and read it together."

"Wow, thank you!"

Jane Xing smiled and said it was okay.

When he went back, Jian Xing wanted to go directly to the old book stall. When he walked out of the teaching building, he suddenly saw a few people walking in the opposite direction. While walking, he said something about a batch of new books from Xinhua Bookstore. Jian Xing thought about the bookstore that was 100 square meters in size and followed.

There was indeed a batch of new books in the bookstore, and before I even had time to put them on the bookshelf, several large boxes were placed next to them.

However, there are only a few people in the store now, and a few boxes do not seem crowded, but instead adds a bit of a lifelike atmosphere.

Jian Xing felt that it was still early, so he went in and walked around.

The bookstore did not resolutely eliminate romance novels just because it was opened in high school campuses. It was only relatively few. The few people who just came together went straight to the novel area. Jian Xing was not interested in these things, so he chose a foreign literature area to stay.

She casually read a few well-known novels, and the sample books contain many annotations with different handwritings, which is a special tradition of Hezhong Bookstore.

Sometimes reading annotations is more interesting than reading books, because some people will have various strange conversations under the annotations, such as this paragraph:

Black handwriting: Please be brave once within the bottom line.

Red handwriting: So "Do you want to fall in love with me?"

Jane Xing smiled and put the book back to its original position.

The time is almost over. Although Jian Ru ignored her these days, she has been very cautious in time. Jian Xing quickly made a quick turn and walked through the counter when she left. She suddenly remembered the application guide and stopped.

There was a man at the counter with a chair that was very upturned. He lay there lazyly, with a hat on his face.

Jian Xing hesitated for a while, walked over, knocked on the counter and asked, "Hello?"

The man at the counter shook his legs, then slowly took off his hat with his face.

As soon as he took it down, Jian Xing saw that the man had long hair, not particularly long, and he still had a buzz cut on both sides, but his head was quite long and he had a short ponytail.

Perhaps because of being disturbed by Qingmeng, his face was obviously unhappy and asked in a hoarse voice: "What's wrong?"

Jian Xing was very sorry, but he had already woken up the person, so he asked: "Is there any application guide?"

"Application Guide?" The man looked Jian Xing up and down, "Senior High School?"

"No," said Jane Xing, "a first year of high school."

"Oh, why do you want this thing in your first year of high school? Be burdened with your long high school life in advance?"

...This person seems a bit unreasonable.

Jian Xing couldn't help but look around and began to wonder if this person was a staff member of the bookstore.

However, this man talked a lot and still bent down and found a book from somewhere. He was still lazy and threw it directly on the counter, "Check it out next to you, remember to return it on time."

Jane Xun said: "Oh, OK."

She opened the registration book and saw that most of them were high school students. After the simple registration, Jian Xing couldn't help but turn two pages forward. Suddenly, she caught a familiar handwriting on running scripts.

Register: Xu Zhengqing

Class: Class 1 (1)

Book: 1984

(Borrow) Time: August 23, 2009

(Replace) Time: August 31, 2009

today.

Jian Xing paused and put down the registration book and pen. Her hands were a little trembling, as if she was secretly happy and excited, but her tone was still casual, "Do you have "1984"?"

The inappropriate counter staff pointed in a direction.

Jian Xing turned around and was anxious, but also anxious when he walked over. His heart was hanging in the air, afraid that the bookstore would only have one book "1984" and that someone would have borrowed it before this second.

She was in a mess very suddenly. She didn't even remember to look through the registration list below if anyone else borrowed this book again.

After searching for a while, I finally found it in the corner, but it was not opened.

Jane Xing quickly turned around and walked back to the counter. Her voice was uncontrollable, "Hello, has that "1984" not been opened?"

The counter staff was stunned and said, "Will you have it if you demolish it?"

Jian Xing was also stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that the books in Hezhong could be removed at will. She paused and pursed her lips.

She can be removed.

But she wanted more than this book.

"Forget it," Jane Xing whispered, "not in a hurry to see."

She wanted to leave, but thinking about the return time on it, she asked unwillingly: "Does this book have to be returned on time?"

The counter staff glanced at her, "It's usually true."

"Oh," Jane Xun asked again, "Will you register again when you return?"

"No, just call the right number after the return time."

Only then did Jian Xing remember that there was a place to match the correct number in the last column of the registration form, but she didn't pay attention to whether Xu Zhengqing's book was called.

Jian Xing hesitated for a while, and then he bit the bullet and opened the registration book again in front of the counter staff.

Sure enough, there is no sign.

He hasn't paid it back yet.

Jian Xing breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and his movements of closing the registration book became much lighter.

After Jian Xing left, the counter staff slowly withdrew their gaze, raised their hand and adjusted the registration book in a direction, flipped it around, and saw that the latest registered name was: Jian Xing, Class 1 (3) of Grade 1.

As if he was very casual, he turned over another page, glanced at one of the columns, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Jian Xing didn't take the application guide home, so she went back to the class first. At this time, there was no one in the class, the lights were turned off, and the door was locked. Jian Xing smeared and opened the window and threw the application guide on Lin Youle's desk. Just as she was about to close the window, she suddenly saw a large black figure falling from behind her, and a fluorescent light was floating in the air. Jian Xing was startled and couldn't help but scream.

Her scream seemed to scare the other party.

Jian Xing vaguely heard a swear word, she was stunned and looked over in disbelief.

The person who came was indeed a large figure, because the fluorescent light in the air was the light from the mobile phone screen. The light and shadow depicted his facial features. Jian Xing finally realized that it was Xu Zhengqing after seeing it clearly.

She thought she had heard it wrong.

After calming down, and thinking about the scream just now, Jian Xing simply wanted to find a hole to crawl into it.

She was glad that the entire floor was dark at this time, and perhaps Xu Zhengqing could not recognize who she was.

But he had a cell phone in his hand.

Xu Zhengqing must have been scared, so she illuminated her face with her cell phone. After seeing it clearly, she was a little surprised, "Jian Xing?"

Although he was surprised, his voice was still not high, low and heavy without any aggression.

Because of these two words, Jian Xing blushed in the darkness, and his heartbeats a little abnormally. He was obviously full of wind everywhere, but he was so nervous that he could not breathe.

Her hand pressed against the window frame on her back, and the rough cement wall made her fingertips hurt slightly, but she only felt the burning sensation after the pain.

He reached the throat with hot all the way, Jian Xing couldn't help swallowing his throat, "Hmm" and said, "It's me."

Xu Zhengqing only took his mobile phone to take a photo of Jian Xing, then he realized that he was not polite and shook it away. He put the phone in his pocket. He looked at Jian Xing standing next to the window, and looked in confusion, "Why haven't you left yet? Is there anything wrong?"

Jane Xun said quickly: "Put something."

"Oh," Xu Zhengqing didn't continue to inquire, probably not interested. He glanced outside and said, "Are you leaving?"

Jian Xing's heartbeat frequency reached its highest in this second. She always felt that she was a very casual person, even as rough as grandma said, but in front of Xu Zhengqing, she even controlled the height and tone of her voice differently than usual.

She tried to suppress her voice naturally and calmly, and said, "Go, let's go."

"Let's go together." Xu Zhengqing said as he took out his cell phone again.

The light of the mobile phone was very weak, even worse than the moonlight at the beginning, but when Xu Zhengqing shone the light in front of Jian Xing, Jian Xing's heart, which had been in a daze all night, suddenly became full.

This light was lent to her by him.

She doesn't want to pay it back.
