Chapter 59 The bell for the end of class is a long, monotonous electronic sound, dragging out a long tail in the empty lecture hall.The professor on the podium closed the lesson plan and announced that class was over.The originally stagnant air was instantly broken. The sound of chairs being dragged, books being closed, and the students whispering and talking were all heard together, and the crowd began to surge toward the door. Ye Qiulan almost immediately wanted to take off his windbreaker and give it…-

Chapter 58 It started raining in the middle of the night.It's not the hearty torrential rain of summer, but the unique, continuous cold rain of autumn.Pattering, tapping on the glass window, the sound is thin and stubborn, like countless cold needles, constantly piercing into the quiet darkness.By early morning, the rain had not abated at all, and the sky was a uniform, heavy leaden gray, pressing very low, as if it would never light up again.The cold and humid air penetrates everywhere, and even if you…

Chapter 57 The closing bell of the library sounded longer and harsher than usual, like some kind of belated and futile attempt to save people.The last ray of the setting sun has long since withdrawn from the long oak table, leaving only the cold and pale fluorescent lamp, which evenly sprinkles every inch of the air, illuminating the suspended dust and making people's faces turn blue. After that dry "sorry", time seemed to be poured into thick glue, and the flow was extremely difficult.Ling Xueqing did…

Chapter 56 The air in the Library's Ancient Book Restoration Department is always heavier and quieter than elsewhere.Time seems to be frozen here by the sticky smell of old paper and fine dust, flowing extremely slowly.The thin sunlight in the afternoon shines through the high windows, cut into regular gratings by the window lattice, and casts diagonally on the long dark brown oak table, illuminating the slowly flying dust in the air as fine as gold powder. Ye Qiulan was sitting in his usual seat, with…

Chapter 55 Ling Xueqing finished the last mouthful of porridge and gently put the porcelain bowl back on the bedside table.The bottom of the bowl made contact with the wooden tabletop, making a very slight "click".She leaned against the head of the bed, her gaze lowered, falling on her well-jointed fingers resting on the thin gray quilt.The morning light moved another inch, making her fingertips almost transparent, and the light blue blood vessels under the skin could be seen.The air in the room seemed to…

Chapter 54 The morning light is not the kind that bursts out in a sudden burst, but very slowly and carefully, seeping out bit by bit from behind the stubborn lead-gray clouds on the eastern skyline.First it was a very light, almost invisible gray, then smudged with a faint fish belly white, and finally a few wisps of thin, almost transparent golden light leaked out, silently climbing up the window sill of the high-rise dormitory of the graduate apartment, climbing over the edge of the plain curtains, and…

Chapter 53 Ling Xueqing's breathing gradually became long and even, and the painful wrinkles between her eyebrows were finally smoothed away by sleep.The cold edge of the antipyretic patch on my forehead glowed with a moist glow under the warm yellow light of the bedside lamp.Her cheeks were still sickly red, but her sleeping face showed a rare and unguarded softness, and her thick eyelashes cast quiet fan-shaped shadows under her eyes. Ye Qiulan sat on the chair beside the bed, not daring to move for…

Chapter 52 On Friday evening, the rain stopped, but the sky did not clear up. Thick, leaden-gray clouds were still piled up, weighing heavily on the skyline.The coolness left after the rain washed away in the air was mixed with the moist and fishy smell evaporating from the soil and vegetation. It was stuffy and not refreshing. Ye Qiulan came out of the library, holding a few professional books he had just borrowed in his arms.In the afternoon in the library, she tried to sort out the ideas for her paper…

Chapter 51 As a result of the physical education course selection system, Ye Qiulan and Ling Xueqing were assigned to the same section - badminton on the second floor of the gymnasium on Thursday afternoon in the third and fourth sections. When the notification email was sent to his mobile phone, Ye Qiulan was sitting in his usual place in the library, staring at a paper on the computer screen about local temples in the Tang Dynasty.When she saw the words "Ling Xuaqing" listed alongside her own name in…

Chapter 50 The high-speed train returning to school temporarily pulled into the station at the beginning of dusk.The sky was a turbid dark purple, the clouds were low, the air was humid and muggy, brewing for a seemingly never-ending late summer thunderstorm.Ye Qiulan carried a heavier backpack than when she returned home - stuffed with a few thick clothes that her mother had forced on her, as well as some home-made snacks that were not perishable - and followed the flow of people out of the carriage.The…
