From Qin Qian's perspective, she had reason to believe that Cheng Ran came over after seeing her, but after coming over, he deliberately came to say hello. All of this was within Qin Qian's expectations.
However, what was beyond her expectation was that after saying hello, Cheng Ran really went aside to read a book and never looked at her again, which made her feel a little suspicious.
She was not so easily flustered, as she had experienced a lot before, and her mood soon calmed down. Anyway, there was a book in front of her to divert her attention, and she was immersed in the world of books again.
The two people were separated by several tables, and time passed by little by little. In the quiet library, there was only the occasional sound of turning pages, and then the shrill ringing of the bell.
There is an old-fashioned electric bell hanging outside the library, and the hammer keeps hitting the bell surface, vibrating the eardrum.
Then you can hear a rumbling sound coming from the teaching building, all over the building.
This was the last class of the morning, which meant it was time to get out of school at noon. Qin Qian moved her ears and saw that some people in the library were already impatiently packing up their books and leaving. They were originally reading to kill time, and some stayed for her, but after class, they thought it would be more tempting to fill their stomachs with a meal.
She took this opportunity to look in Cheng Ran's direction. In fact, sometimes people's eyes have peripheral vision.
When you sit there, at first glance, you are doing your own thing, not looking around, but in fact, only the person involved knows what is going on. Just like Qin Qian was just reading a book, but in fact, her peripheral vision could reach Cheng Ran's direction, and she could still grasp whether he looked up in the middle of the class. At this time, she took the opportunity to raise her head and look around when the school bell rang, and finally her eyes fell on Cheng Ran, but she remained calm and did not let him feel that she was deliberately paying attention to him.
However, Cheng Ran just raised his head and looked around, and saw her.
Qin Qian curled her lips slightly and did not move.
Cheng Ran looked up and then lowered his head again to continue reading. This time he was reading a book called "Principles of Mathematical Analysis", which was beyond the scope of high school. He opened his notebook and took notes, thinking that since there were many people going to the cafeteria at this time, it would not be too late to solve the problem at hand before going over.
So everyone in the library left one after another, but only Cheng Ran and Qin Qian did not move.
Qin Qian felt that the two of them were like knights on horseback fighting in the Middle Ages, each holding a lance, their spirits and momentum reaching their peak. Whoever lost his temper first would be at a disadvantage, and she could not afford to lose.
Time passed by bit by bit for more than ten minutes. Qin Qian only read one or two pages of the book and could not go on. She felt very confused and even wondered if he was a pervert and liked to keep watching over her like this.
The last people in the library gradually left, and the library became even quieter. In such silence, Qin Qian looked at Cheng Ran on the other side of the flying dust in the beam of light from the window, and then suddenly stood up. She wanted to go up to him and ask him what he wanted.
But when she put away the book and walked towards Cheng Ran, all the courage she had just accumulated seemed to flow out like a punctured ball with every step she took. At this moment, apart from trying her best to straighten her back and hold the book forward, she was actually completely timid.
Then, Cheng Ran raised his head.
When their eyes met, Qin Qian dodged a little, and felt that her heart rate was a bit slow, but after all, with many years of stage experience, Qin Qian's expression quickly calmed down. She concealed her slightly flustered look by looking down at the notebook in his hand, and then smiled, "Still reading?"
Cheng Ran nodded.
…
Just nodded.
No further news
This is very awkward and I'm in a dilemma, but I can't sit back down and I still have the book in my hand. If I don't put it in the cabinet and turn around to sit down, what kind of picture would that be... Wouldn't it mean that I'm here just to test you
By some strange coincidence, Qin Qian smiled and said, "Then I'll go to the cafeteria to eat first."
"Oh," Cheng Ran nodded, "Okay."
She was still in a pause, then moved over and put the book back into the cabinet. After tidying it up, she turned and left. After leaving the library, Qin Qian narrowed her eyes.
Until the very end, Cheng Ran never stood up and said let's go together, so was he really reading and doing exercises for such a long time
After Qin Qian walked out of the library, Cheng Ran withdrew his gaze. He always felt that something was strange, but after thinking about it, he was relieved. After all, she was working at Tianxingdao Hall, and he was the boss there. To use some unpleasant worldly words, she was somewhat dependent on others. A girl at this age, even a girl like Qin Qian, probably needs some time to adapt mentally.
Cheng Ran thought about it and felt that he was a little confused. How could a middle school student at this age do so many things? He must be an outlier.
This is really…
He shook his head, finished reading the book in his hand, closed it, stood up and put it back on the bookshelf. He felt a little hungry, so he went out to the cafeteria.
…
After Qin Qian left, she went to the classroom to get a water cup. In the classroom, she met Yuan Huiqun, who said that they could go together. When the two of them went to the cafeteria, Qin Qian's mind was still full of Cheng Ran holding a math book, reading it carefully and taking notes seriously. He was able to go from Shanhai to No. 10 Middle School, and then from the 108th place at the beginning of No. 10 Middle School to the 38th place in the last test. I'm afraid it was really this kind of hard work that few people can see...
So he didn't leave even after the bell rang. In fact, he had no plans to eat and worked on his homework without sleeping or eating. Was he preparing for the final exam
The final exams are over, and it’s winter break…
The two went downstairs, walked through the corridor and went to the cafeteria. On the way, Yuan Huiqun kept talking to Qin Qian, talking about things in various classes, and how so-and-so was, but Qin Qian didn't hear any of it.
Qin Qian suddenly stopped. Yuan Huiqun took two steps and turned back in surprise, "What's wrong with you?"
"I suddenly remembered that I'm on a diet... I'm not going to eat today, you go by yourself." Qin Qian smiled.
"Ah, you didn't tell me before... Why did you lose weight again?"
"My dance teacher will have a performance next month, so I need to get in shape and control myself for now."
Yuan Huiqun looked at her from head to toe, drooling, "Hey, hey, your legs are so thin that even us women can't help but salivate! Do you want to sculpt into a fairy? Okay, I'll go then. Do you want any fruit? I'll bring you some."
"No, I'll buy it myself."
Yuan Huiqun waved her hand and parted ways with her. Qin Qian went straight to the store, bought some bread and butter, then got some milk and a boiled egg, put it in her bag, turned around Banyan Tree-lined Avenue, stood at the door of the library for a while, and finally took a deep breath and walked in.
…
canteen.
Cheng Ran managed his time very well. The peak meal time had already passed. He ordered two dishes and a soup, then sat in a corner. When he put the plate on the table, he looked around the cafeteria.
He was a little confused. Qin Qian left only a few minutes earlier than him and said she was coming to the cafeteria to eat...but why was she nowhere to be seen
My stomach is growling and I don’t want to think too much.
Have a meal.
…
Before the afternoon class, Yuan Huiqun saw Qin Qian walking up the hallway with a somewhat cold expression on her face. Yuan Huiqun smiled and said, "Where have you been? After dinner, I hurried back to the classroom but couldn't find you. Look at you, you've lost weight, and your face has turned pale. Here's an apple for you!"
Qin Qian held the apple and looked back at the door of the classroom in the corner. She was overwhelmed with emotions. The only thing she could be sure of now was that she felt like she was about to faint from hunger.
That guy... is a psycho!
