      When The Snow Falls In Autumn Chapter 34 Cover
      by — Chapter 34 The air under the corridor was filled with the smell of rainwater and mud washed away.The dripping water from the corners of the eaves formed intermittent bead curtains, hitting the depressions paved with bluestones below, splashing away fine cold water droplets.Ye Qiulan stood motionless, his eyes still fixed on the white rain curtain where Ling Xueqing's figure disappeared, as if the dark blue umbrella shadow and the wet shoulder line still left burning marks on his retinas. The sound of…

      When The Snow Falls In Autumn Chapter 33 Cover
      by — Chapter 33 In the afternoon at the west window of the library, the light was filtered by the thick clouds, making it appear thin and even.

Ye Qiulan arrived ten minutes early.The table by the window was empty.She…

      When The Snow Falls In Autumn Chapter 31 Cover
      by — Chapter 31 The sound of the paper roll being unrolled was very soft, like autumn leaves being blown by the wind, dry and pliable.The last golden-red ray of the setting sun slanted in through the window, covering the piece of paper gradually revealed on Ling Xueqing's lap. Every ink line was outlined extremely clearly, and you could even see the tiny burrs left by the pen tip when it scratched the fiber. Ye Qiulan held his breath. That's no ordinary map.There is no regular grid of longitude and latitude,…

      When The Snow Falls In Autumn Chapter 30 Cover
      by — Chapter 30 The tree-lined avenue leading to the East End graduate apartments seemed longer and quieter than usual.The dense canopy of the camphor tree filters the afternoon sunshine into fine pieces, casting bright and flickering light spots on the clean concrete pavement.The chirping of cicadas weaves a dense, intoxicating sound net overhead, and the hustle and bustle of the basketball court in the distance is filtered by layers of greenery, leaving only vague, intermittent echoes. Ling Xueqing walked…

      When The Snow Falls In Autumn Chapter 28 Cover
      by — Chapter 28 At the end of the corridor of the East End graduate student apartment, when the door closed behind him, it made a slight but definite "click" sound, like a gate that blocked out all the light, sound, and breath from the outside world, as well as the memory of that morning full of old papers, accidents, and silence.Ling Xueqing stood with her back against the cold door panel for a moment. There are no lights on indoors.Dusk seeped in through the only window, turning the neat and almost empty…

      When The Snow Falls In Autumn Chapter 27 Cover
      by — Chapter 27 The corridor on the side of the ancient books department is deeper than the main reading area. The light shines in from the narrow transom at the top and is cut into gratings by the stacked bookshelves. A stronger mixed smell of aged paper, ink and insect repellent floats in the air. It is so quiet that you can hear the sound of dust slowly settling.Ling Xueqing hugged the constant humidity book box, and her footsteps landed on the old but smooth terrazzo floor, making steady and slight knocks,…

Like a calm dotted line with a set trajectory, she neatly cut off the…

      When The Snow Falls In Autumn Chapter 25 Cover
      by — Chapter 25 The tip of the brush steadily scratched the last edge of the paper that needed to be reinforced. Even traces of liquid penetrated into the fibers, leaving a subtle sheen that quickly became transparent in the air.Ye Qiulan put down his pen and placed the penholder on the celadon pen rest, making a very light "ding" sound.She slowly let out a breath that had been held in her chest for a long time, and her shoulders relaxed almost imperceptibly. On the opposite side, Ling Xueqing also completed…
