Qu Sen's plan was to find an empty seat in the library and put down Zhou Li and Li Ying's books. Then, he would find a quiet place to read. However, when he entered the library, he realized that he was overthinking things.
The first floor of the library was basically full. There seemed to be more people on the second floor than on the first floor. There were still some empty seats on the third floor, but they were all filled with people. Qu Sen wanted to find a place with fewer people so that he could concentrate on memorizing. When he saw the situation, he felt that it would be better to go back to the classroom.
After thinking about it, he decided that it was better this way. Lady Zhou wouldn't let him off easily. She couldn't blame him for not having a seat, right?
Just as he was about to turn around and leave the reading area to go downstairs, a student rushed in while panting. After greeting the floor manager in embarrassment, he shouted to a four-person table near the window, "Boss, Old Five, Old Six, the instructor asked us to help out."
When the three students who were reading heard this, they quickly packed up their books and ran to the stairs with the one who shouted.
Qu Sen stood in place and looked at the empty table for four. He hesitated for a moment.
Although it was already the end of September, autumn was still very powerful during the day. Thinking about the hot and noisy classroom and the good air quality in the library under the filtration of the fresh air system, Qu Sen walked over to the students sitting at the long table before any of them ran over to occupy the four-seater table.
"Not bad, you got such a good seat." Just like last time, Lady Zhou's voice rang out just as Qu Sen put all his attention into his book.
When he looked up and saw Zhou Li and Li Ying sitting across from him, Qu Sen sighed helplessly and whispered to Zhou Li, "We agreed last night that you couldn't disturb my self-study."
"What are you showing off for? Do you think I want to grind my teeth with you?" Zhou Li rolled her eyes at Qu Sen and opened the book she brought.
As for Li Ying, she completely ignored the two of them. As soon as he sat down, he opened his book without even lifting his head.
Although Zhou Li's words were unpleasant, Qu Sen was relieved. He stopped talking nonsense with Zhou Li and focused his attention on the book on the table.
In the following time, the three people at Qu Sen's table were just like the other students in the library, quietly reading their books. During this period, when the floor manager was patrolling, the three of them deliberately took a look.
Seeing that the three of them were focused on the teaching materials in their hands, as if they didn't know each other, they even nodded in satisfaction.
Then, he looked at the other students who were gathered together and whispering from time to time. He thought to himself, "It's really different to have a high-quality student with you. That skinny little girl, she was reading leisurely the last time she came, but now she knows how to work hard."
Half the morning passed in the blink of an eye. Qu Sen got up and went to the bathroom. When he came back, he found that his seat had been taken by someone else. The teaching materials on the table were also gone, and Zhou Li was holding a pen and drawing on a very "suspicious" book.
When Qu Sen walked a few steps closer, he could basically confirm that the book in Zhou Li's hand was his "Modern Military History."
"Big sister, what are you doing?" Qu Sen sat down in the empty seat of the four-person table and helplessly asked in a low voice.
Zhou Li used the water-based pen in her hand to draw a few lines that weren't very straight on the page. She also added a few lines under a few words. Then, she flipped the page and asked Qu Sen, "Hey, I say, are you memorizing the book or reading it like a storybook?"
Qu Sen saw that the male student who took his seat should know Zhou Li. He originally wanted to sit somewhere else, but he saw that Zhou Li was drawing the key points for him, so he didn't move. He picked up the advanced mathematics book on the side, found the place where he saw it last time, and continued to read.
The male student who took the seat in front of Qu Sen looked at Qu Sen, then looked at Zhou Li, who was drawing the key points for Qu Sen. He slightly moved his head in Zhou Li's direction and asked in a low voice, "Zhou Li, is this your friend?"
Zhou Li held a pen in her right hand and "drew" on Qu Sen's "Modern Military History". She didn't even raise her head as she stretched out her left hand and pointed at the "Keep Quiet" warning hanging on the wall.
The male student awkwardly moved his head back. It looked like he was hesitating between leaving and staying.
This male student was Zhao Feng, who brought Zhou Li endless trouble during her freshman year. Zhao Feng originally gave up on Zhou Li after he was assigned to a research institute in the northeastern region of China.
He didn't expect that when school started, he suddenly found out that one of the two new graduate students assigned by his supervisor, Professor Wu, was actually Zhou Li. At first, he was worried that it was someone with the same name. He tried to find a way to verify "Zhou Li"'s file. After he read it, he was completely relieved.
This "Zhou Li" was that Zhou Li!
Zhao Feng waited nervously and excitedly until the day of the graduate student registration. He took advantage of the time to walk around the graduate student dormitory a few times. He didn't see Zhou Li right away. However, God didn't disappoint him. He actually met Li Ying.
Not long after Li Ying started university, she became Zhou Li's best friend. Zhao Feng, who used to crazily pursue Zhou Li, obviously knew her. Therefore, he quickly chased after Zhou Li to find out more about Zhou Li.
After asking, he found out that Zhou Li was injured on the way to the university.
This caused Senior Martial Brother Zhao's heart to ache, and he wanted to visit her. However, the female dormitory guard didn't let him do that. After several attempts, Zhao Feng gave up the idea of "visiting" Zhou Li. He could only patiently wait for Zhou Li to recover.
After all, both of them were Professor Wu's students. Zhou Li would definitely report to Professor Wu as soon as he recovered.
Senior Brother Zhao had a good idea. However, before Zhou Li had fully recovered from her injuries, the school had already issued a notice stating that the new postgraduate students had to pass the various military examinations before they could participate in the project with their mentors.
After the announcement, Zhao Feng scolded the university leaders even more fiercely than the female students. He knew Zhou Li's physical fitness too well. If he expected her to pass the exam, she would have to train every day for the first two years.
Zhao Feng's judgment was very accurate. It had been almost half a month since the university started, but Zhou Li had only seen Professor Wu a few times.
Zhao Feng wanted to take the initiative to look for Zhou Li, but he was busy with Professor Wu's project. On the other hand, Miss Zhou was sly and cunning. No matter if he went to the dormitory to look for her or called her to ask her out, she was either not there or had something else to do and was very busy.
Although he knew that Zhou Li didn't want to give him a chance, Zhao Feng believed that it was because he was too reckless when he was young. He had left a shadow in the girl's heart.
He firmly believed that as long as he had a chance, he could let Zhou Li know about his current self. He would definitely find a way to capture her heart!
Perhaps Zhao Feng's infatuation had moved the heavens. He had not seen her for a long time, but today, when he came to the library to look for information, he suddenly saw her.
Senior Brother Zhao didn't check the information and sat directly opposite Miss Zhou.
Zhou Li wanted to run away as soon as she saw Zhao Feng. However, before she could do anything, Zhao Feng had already seen her. She could only sit there and pretend to be focused on reading.
Later, she felt that reading was not enough to show that she was busy. So, she took the book Qu Sen had thrown on the table and placed it in front of her. Then, she pretended to mark the important points.
Because she was just pretending, she didn't put much thought into it. Soon, she finished the book from beginning to end. Zhao Feng wanted to return the book to Qu Sen, but halfway through, the book changed direction in the air and landed directly next to Li Ying.
"Help me take a look and see if I missed anything. I can't remember the things that were tested two or three years ago," Zhou Li whispered.
Li Ying didn't refuse. She put her book aside and opened Modern Military. From the beginning, she found the places that Zhou Li "missed" and marked them all.
However, when he saw Li Ying's neatly marked lines and the highlighted words, names, and dates, and then looked at the things that Zhou Li "drew" on the same page, Qu Sen considered whether he should buy a new textbook.
If the old man who taught military history saw this, he would skin him alive.
Lady Zhou was not interested in Qu Sen's thoughts at all. She was now thinking about the person sitting opposite her. He's quite an adult, so how can he be so blind? Can't he see that I don't like him? Why are you still sitting here and dilly-dallying?
Qu Sen originally saw that Zhou Li had ruined all his textbooks, so he was about to take the book and leave. However, in the blink of an eye, the book went back to Li Ying.
He glanced at it and found that Li Ying was very nice. Not only did she put in a lot of effort, but she also carefully wrote down notes for him.
In this situation, Qu Sen could only sit there and continue to wait while holding the Advanced Mathematics textbook.
Brother Zhao sat there for a long time. He wanted to leave a few times, but he couldn't bear to. He was too embarrassed to talk to Zhou Li again, so he looked at Qu Sen next to him and asked, "Student, who are you?"
Qu Sen thought in his heart, "Who I am is none of your business." However, he couldn't really say it out loud, so he faintly replied, "Qu Sen."
Because he already knew that Qu Sen was reading undergraduate textbooks, Brother Zhao didn't think too much about it. He just felt awkward sitting there alone and wanted to find someone to talk to. When he heard Qu Sen say his name, he smiled and said, "Ah, Little Qu, you and Zhou …"
Qu Sen had already guessed the situation between this male student and Zhou Li. Although it had nothing to do with him, he hated this kind of indecisive man.
When he heard the other party call him "Little Qu", he thought, "Where did you get the courage to pretend to be a big shot in front of me?"
Therefore, without waiting for Brother Zhao to finish speaking, Qu Sen put a finger to his lips and pointed at the four words on the wall that Zhou Li had pointed at before: "Keep quiet."
