      by — Chapter 35 The tip of the dark blue umbrella hung on the hook behind the dormitory door, dripping with water.The water droplets gathered on the ground below, spreading out a small trace of darker color, and the edge spread slowly and stubbornly to all sides.Ye Qiulan squatted on the ground, holding a rag in his hand, staring at the water stains, but did not wipe it away.The rough fibers of the fabric touched the palms of my hands, and the coolness penetrated through my skin. Her canvas bag was thrown at…

      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. It was no longer as clear-cut and sharp as the previous few days.The shadow of the camphor tree has also faded, and is vaguely printed on the oak tabletop, almost blending into the wood grain.There was a dullness in the air before a rainstorm, and the smell of old books and papers became heavy. 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…

      by — Chapter 3 They didn't really leave the library. Just when Ye Qiulan stepped onto the courtyard path and Ling Xueqing was about to follow, the metal buckle of the constant humidity book box in Ye Qiulan's arms suddenly made a slight but clear enough "click" sound - it came loose.The lid of the book box popped up and opened a gap, and a corner of the newly repaired ancient book inside slipped out. They both stopped at the same time. Ye Qiulan let out a low "Ah" and hurriedly tried to stuff the book back…

      by — Chapter 29 The incandescent light from the window of the pharmacy in the school hospital was particularly dazzling in the afternoon, illuminating the pharmacist's serious face and Ling Xue's cold silhouette somewhat distortedly.The smell of disinfectant in the air stubbornly penetrated into the nasal cavity, mixed with the vaguely bitter medicinal aroma wafting from the corridor.Ye Qiulan stood half a step behind Ling Xueqing, looking at her straight back and her smooth negotiation with the slightly…

      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…
