After returning to the capital, Professor Zhang gave several students two days off to let them have a good rest.
Mi Yang did not return to school, but went directly to Bai Luochuan. After taking a hot bath, he slept soundly for more than ten hours. The exhibition alone was not tiring, but it was mainly because he had to take care of Bai Luochuan. He really consumed too much energy to serve Young Master Bai.
When I woke up, there were only a few text messages on my phone, sent by Bai Luochuan.
Mi Yang called him back while lying on the bed. Bai Luochuan picked up the phone quickly and asked, "Are you awake?"
Mi Yang called him with a nasal tone: "Brother Bai, what are you busy with?"
Bai Luochuan laughed over there and said, "I'm at work, taking care of you. Why are you so well behaved today? Before, it took me a long time to get you to call out to him." Someone came in from his side and whispered a few words to the other person, but he did not forget to tease Mi Yang.
Mi Yang's face felt hot and he turned over without saying a word.
Bai Luochuan was in no hurry to speak. After finishing his work, he whispered to him, "Are you angry again? I'm telling the truth. I'm so busy at work. Next time, you should be a little more obedient and call for help yourself, okay?"
Mi Yang smiled and called him again.
Bai Luochuan listened to it, and after a long while he sighed and said in a low voice: "You're yelling at me and I want to go back."
Mi Yang was more shameless than him, and whispered: "Is there someone coming over there? Go to work first, I'm hanging up."
Bai Luochuan said: "It's nothing, please chat with me for a while, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Mi Yang laughed and said, "Nonsense, it's only one night."
After chatting with him for a while, Bai Luochuan had a lot of things to do, so he had to hang up the phone before he left. Before leaving, he reminded Mi Yang, "Eat something for yourself. If you don't have enough money, go to the small drawer at the door and get some. I've taken out some change and put it here. Don't be lazy and go to school without eating anything. The cafeteria is closed at this time."
Mi Yang glanced at the time. It was already afternoon, and there was nothing to eat in the cafeteria at this time, so he nodded in response.
He brought back some specialties from Xinjiang, took out two boxes and put them aside. The long and thin box contained a rewap, which had a long and thin neck and was a bit like a three-stringed instrument. He was going to take it back to his grandfather Mi Hong in Shanhai Town. The other box was a square box, which he took directly and put in the small hall opposite. This was a gift for Mr. Bai, and it was not a valuable item. Mi Yang bought two pairs of leather gloves commonly used by local horse herders. They were made very characteristically, with a layer of fleece inside to keep warm, which was very suitable for older people like Mr. Bai, and more comfortable than the equestrian gloves bought in the mall.
Mr. Bai comes here for treatment every once in a while, and the time is almost here, so I put it here as a surprise for the old man.
He also brought back some food, including a lot of nuts and dried beef from Xinjiang. He packed them in his bag and prepared to share them with his roommates.
When she was about to go out, she remembered Bai Luochuan's words and grabbed a few bills from the small drawer and put them in her wallet. There were both small and large bills. A few hundred of them would be enough for her to use for a while.
Mi Yang parked his blue bicycle downstairs. He rode it to a restaurant they often went to for dinner. The owner was familiar with them. While serving the noodles, he asked, "Why isn't your classmate with you?"
Mi Yang said: "He went out of town and will be back in a few days."
He and Bai Luochuan were used to coming here together, and the boss knew them. There weren't many people here at the moment, so he gave Mi Yang a plate of side dishes and said to him, "It just so happens that the kimchi is ready these days. We didn't have it last time, so your classmate didn't have a bowl of noodles. Remember to tell him when you go back, we have kimchi now, as much as you can eat!"
Mi Yang nodded and said with a smile: "Okay."
After he had eaten, he rode his bike to school in a short while. As he approached the dormitory, he saw that it was quite lively downstairs. Mi Yang didn't care. He parked the bike and went back to the dormitory.
There was only one classmate in their dormitory at the moment, and that was the guy in the bunk below him. When Mi Yang came in, he was eating instant noodles and looking downstairs. When he saw Mi Yang, he immediately said, "Mi Yang, you just came back, come and see!"
Mi Yang put the things on the table and took a look: "What's wrong, who put up colored paper downstairs... You didn't eat lunch? I brought back a lot of beef jerky, you can take some and eat together."
The guy in the lower bunk asked him, "Didn't you take a look downstairs just now?"
Mi Yang shook his head and said, "No, I just went to put my bike away and came in through the side door. What's wrong?"
The brother was very happy and said to him, "Why do you park your bicycle? You don't know that a few days ago, a Ferrari sports car was parked downstairs of our dormitory. It was a very cool one, and the blue one was so beautiful. There were a lot of ribbons and balloons tied on it to spell out 'Happy Birthday'. It was said to be a birthday present, but there was no name on it, so I don't know who it was for."
Mi Yang suddenly had a bad feeling and asked, "Which number parked here?"
My roommate thought for a while and said, "The 23rd, I remember it very clearly. I just came back from the library that day. I've parked here for several days. I guess I'm an insider. I even got a temporary parking license from the security department. I just moved to the parking lot outside these two days. Oh, by the way, do you see the colored paper below? Those are all small arrows, pasted all the way to the parking lot." He took a piece of beef jerky and ate it with relish, and asked, "Hey, your book is about to expire, let's go back together later?"
Mi Yang said vaguely: "Go, wait for me, I'll call home."
The other person smiled and said, "Yes, I haven't been back to school for several days. When I come back, I have to report to my parents that I am safe. You go ahead. I just finished my noodles. There is no rush."
Mi Yang went to the balcony and called Bai Luochuan. When the other party picked up the phone, he lowered his voice and asked, "Did you ask someone to drive the car here?"
Bai Luochuan said frankly: "Yes, it's a gift for your birthday."
Mi Yang said: "I really don't need it normally."
Bai Luochuan said: "Why not? Just use it as a means of transportation."
Mi Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm just going to the library. It's a long way to park the car and go there. It's faster for me to walk there. My bicycle is enough for me." He thought for a while and said, "Besides, I haven't got a driver's license yet. You can let someone drive it away and leave it at the company or somewhere else. You can use it as you like."
Bai Luochuan: “…”
Bai Luochuan then remembered and said with a headache: "I forgot about the driver's license. The car keys are in the mailbox downstairs of your dormitory. You can go and get them yourself. I will ask my assistant to go there in the evening. You can drive home and leave them there first."
Mi Yang quickly agreed.
Bai Luochuan paused for a moment and asked him, "Xiaoguai, you don't like this?"
Mi Yang knew what Master Bai was going to say next when he heard the tone. For more than ten years, whenever he tried to say "I don't particularly like it", Master Bai would definitely send another one after he hung up the phone, which was more expensive and more ostentatious than this one. Mi Yang didn't dare to try this time, and whispered to him, "I like it, this car is pretty good... Oh, I haven't seen it yet, but I heard it's good, no no no, I particularly like this brand, let's take this one!" He rubbed the tip of his nose and said, "I'm just a little scared, this gift is too expensive."
Bai Luochuan laughed and said, "How can it be valuable? It's far inferior to you."
Mi Yang also laughed: "How can you compare? I'm not a gift."
Bai Luochuan said: "You are the best gift I have ever received in my life."
He had heard some very corny words before, but when this one came out of the blue, Mi Yang's ears turned red and he lowered his head for a long time before he recovered.
Bai Luochuan was busy with other things, so after confirming that Mi Yang received the gift and "liked it very much", Young Master Bai hung up the phone with satisfaction and went to work.
Mi Yang returned to the dormitory, just as his roommate had finished his instant noodles and was packing a few books in his bag, preparing to go out with him. When he saw him, he smiled and asked, "Shall we go? I borrowed these two books for a long time. If I delay any longer, my ID will be revoked."
Mi Yang also took his two books and followed him out. When he got downstairs, he took out the small box that had been sent by mail. It was wrapped in blue, with silver silk thread and tied with an exquisite satin bow.
The roommate was used to seeing Mi Yang's "parents" mailing him various things, so he just smiled and said, "Your family has sent you something again. They really love you."
Mi Yang stuffed the box into his schoolbag and said, "It's OK."
The roommate didn't ask any more questions and took Mi Yang to the library. Their dormitory was usually taken care of by Mi Yang's "parents". Although they hadn't met him yet, the dormitory expenses in recent years were all covered by Mi Yang's "parents" - but Mi Yang was also obedient. Not many people would ask their parents when they went out these days, and he would call them every night when he was in the dormitory!
If they hadn't known that it was the "parents" who came to check on them, they would have thought that Mi Yang was secretly dating behind everyone's back.
They got along well in the dormitory, and they all guessed that Mi Yang might be the easier one to get along with among the rich second generation. He was raised as a flower in a greenhouse, and his parents were afraid that he would not know how to get along with others, so they arranged everything for him. They ate and used other people's things, and Mi Yang had a good temper, so the people in the dormitory had a better impression of him. They would call Mi Yang to help them with anything and take good care of him.
The library of Imperial University of Peking is very famous throughout the country, but like all universities in the country, the borrowing rate of martial arts novels is the highest. In particular, the Chinese Department of Imperial University of Peking produced a talented woman two years ago who specializes in writing martial arts novels and won the Huang Yi Martial Arts Literature Award. Everyone's enthusiasm for martial arts has risen again. Some people like to write stories and submit them, and some like to borrow books. Among them, Jin Yong's books are the most borrowed. Even if the library specially prepares a few extra sets, the corners are always rolled up due to being flipped through.
The books that Mi Yang borrowed were more niche, about history. Professor Zhang made a list of books for them and asked them to read some good books regularly. After returning the book this time, he borrowed two new ones.
After returning the book to my roommate, I borrowed another book, The Legend of the Condor Heroes, in addition to the books I needed for my major.
Mi Yang glanced at the book in his hand, raised it and said with a smile: "I watched Hu Ge's Guo Jing some time ago, and I remembered it again. I still want to read the book again. This book is really worth reading over and over again."
Mi Yang nodded and said yes with a smile.
They returned to the dormitory, and just then the other two roommates also came back from get out of class, so they sat together and chatted for a while.
The students from the south were born with a knack for business. Xiao Sichuan took a look at the books they borrowed and immediately spotted a business opportunity: "Your books are all curled up."
The other party was stunned for a moment, and said, "Yes, I waited for several days to borrow this, what's wrong?"
Xiao Sichuan said, "That means many people borrowed it and read it." He flipped through the catalog and said with satisfaction, "This is a mainland edition. I think we can do some business in the dormitory, such as renting books. Martial arts books are so popular, so we can buy more martial arts books. Oh, and not just Jin Yong's books, but also Huang Yi's "A Step into the Qin". It would be best if we could get some Hong Kong editions. It is said that they have more content than those published in the mainland. When the time comes, let the word out that the content is guaranteed to be complete, and there will definitely be many people reading them!"
On the other side, a student from Suzhou who had gained a lot of weight in the school cafeteria said sadly: "Your idea is very dangerous, little comrade!"
Xiao Sichuan waved his hands and said, "I just did something insignificant. How did Mi Yang's classmate put it?"
Mi Yang leaned aside and imitated Bai Luochuan's tone and joked: "In a short period of time, relying on the accurate judgment of the book market, I quickly completed the original capital accumulation and gained some more business experience."
"Yes, yes! Real estate and futures, the same principle." Xiao Sichuan said happily, "Rounding off, I can be considered a boss for once!"
Students from Suzhou also expressed their own views on the debate: "Our debaters believe that going to the library to borrow books is not just about reading books, but about following the footsteps of predecessors."
Xiao Sichuan was as excited as a competitor, and asked with a burning gaze: "Excuse me, my opponent, there are so many books in the library, how do you find the truth among the chaotic footprints?"
Suzhou student said calmly, "It is because there are so many books that we have this opportunity. If you don't believe me, go to the library and borrow an unpopular book. You will often find that no one has touched it for many years. The oldest one is even half a century ago. If you look through its borrowing records carefully, you will find that it has been circulated in the hands of a celebrity." He adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, picked up a book on his desk and said sincerely, "Look, what is this?"
“… a copy of ‘The First Visit of the Dutch Envoy to China’?”
The Suzhou student said proudly: "Wrong! This is knowledge that has been touched by predecessors. The body temperature and fingerprints of the predecessors are still left on this book!"
Xiao Sichuan: "You are cheating. Let's debate. Why are you being so sensational? This is sophistry! I ask the referee to give you a red card!"
The Suzhou student said, "Hey! Not only do I want to be sentimental, I also want to recite a poem for the judges!" As he spoke, he held the book in his hands and choked up like an old minister, and said to Mi Yang in a trembling voice, "Even if we meet again, we won't recognize each other, with dust all over our faces and hair like frost!"
Mi Yang couldn't stop laughing and waved his hand to call it a draw.
Xiao Sichuan accepted the draw with a smile, turned on his phone and started reading a novel. He was recently obsessed with an online novel called "Joy of Life". He couldn't stop reading the updates every day and often posted discussions in the comment section.
Students from Suzhou protested against this outcome, "You called it a draw just because he said the Academy emphasized that. This is a shady deal! You appear to be helping him, but you're actually helping Bai Luochuan. You two are in the same group!"
Mi Yang imitated him and said seriously: "No, I am following the principle of fairness, justice and friendship first."
A classmate from Suzhou came over with a book in his hand, and wanted Mi Yang to touch the burning temperature left by the ancient philosophers on the book. Mi Yang laughed and joked with him for a while. There were many people in the dormitory, and the conversation was lively. They talked about everything under the sun, and everyone had their own reasons.
Mi Yang looked at the sky outside which was getting darker, so he picked up his backpack and was about to go out.
The people in the dormitory asked curiously: "Where are you going?"
Mi Yang said: "I'm going back to live today."
He didn't know if the ancient philosophers were still popular in the book. He just felt that the car keys in his bag were so hot that he had to drive home quickly before dark.
The author has something to say: Let me explain the extra chapters. I don’t know if you have noticed that the average daily update is about 4,000 to 5,000 words, a little more every day~
It’s the end of the month now, and I need some nutrient solution. It will expire soon if I don’t get it. Thanks!
