Chapter 27 A Guy with a Weird Temper
Meng Shulan didn’t know where Gu Hansong was taking her, but she followed him anyway.
She was still very confident in his character and he would definitely not sell herself out.
The two walked around the front street and went to the alley behind the bookstore, and stopped in front of the back door of a small red brick courtyard.
Gu Hansong went forward and knocked on the door, but no one answered after waiting for a while.
He continued, still no response.
It seems that no one is inside.
Meng Shulan asked quietly: "Are there any books for sale here?"
According to their previous conversation, Gu Hansong must be taking her to buy books.
But there was no one.
Meng Shulan's face fell.
Gu Hansong glanced at her and asked, "Is it urgent?"
"That's for sure..."
Her tone was soft and gentle, with a sigh of helplessness.
How can she not be anxious? She has to make up for her math, learn English, and will take the college entrance exam next year. She doesn't have much time left.
Meng Shulan was just about to say why not wait here when she saw Gu Hansong walking towards a locust tree nearby. He looked around and saw that no one was passing by. He climbed up to the treetop, climbed over the red brick wall, and jumped down with a flutter.
Meng Shulan: “…”
What is this person doing? If they are not waiting for him, there is no need to climb over the wall! If they are seen by others, they will be sent to the police station.
Meng Shulan was extremely anxious. She immediately went to the door and whispered, "Gu Hansong, what are you doing? Come out quickly, or you'll be discovered!"
Meng Shulan was anxious and afraid. Seeing a crack on the wooden door, she leaned over to see what he was doing inside. But when she took a closer look, she saw nothing but a gray haze.
"?"
Meng Shulan didn't understand the situation, so she held on to the door with both hands to see more clearly, and then the door was suddenly opened from the inside.
It turned out that the piece of gray she just saw was Gu Hansong's clothes.
Meng Shulan was caught off guard, her foot sprained and her body tilted, and she was about to fall. Gu Hansong supported her, dodged to the side when she was about to fall, and put his arm around her shoulders.
The two had a brief physical contact, in a half-hug position, but it only lasted for a moment, and then Gu Hansong let go, and Meng Shulan's center of gravity was pulled back.
That was a close call! Meng Shulan calmed down and quickly closed the door. She looked around and saw that no one was there. She looked up and scolded him, "You are stupid! Why are you climbing over the wall? You'll be in trouble if someone sees you. Do you want to go to the police station? Really, you don't know the seriousness of your actions."
Gu Hansong said nothing. He turned sideways to face Meng Shulan, his handsome face slightly tilted up, revealing his perfect jaw and Adam's apple. He was looking at the sky in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.
Gu Hansong was tall, and Meng Shulan could only reach his shoulders. At this moment, he raised his head, so she could only look up at him, but even so she could not see his expression clearly.
Meng Shulan only knew that his breathing was a little rapid, his Adam's apple was rolling, and his ears were a little red.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
Meng Shulan felt strange, "Did he fall?"
The height of this wall shouldn't be that high! It can't be...
"Hey, don't be angry. I just said those things because I was too anxious. I was actually worried about you! I was in a hurry to buy books, but I didn't want anything to happen to you because of buying books. Okay, okay, I won't say anything about you. I know you did it for me. You know it all."
It turns out that he was so sensitive when he was young. He would get angry if you said a few words to him.
Meng Shulan thought he was angry with her, so she scolded him without caring about anything.
After all, they are doing this for themselves and have good intentions.
And now that things have come to this, what she should do is to find a way to avoid being discovered instead of complaining to him.
Meng Shulan: "I apologize to you and take back what I just said."
She was very sincere, but unfortunately Gu Hansong was unmoved and still maintained the same posture as before, as if he wanted to hold his anger to the end.
Meng Shulan: “???”
Not really!
She stretched out her hand, intending to pull him, but just as she grasped his sleeve, he shook it off as if he had been electrocuted.
Meng Shulan: “…”
He looked extremely disgusted.
"Hey, you, do you have to be so stingy?"
This made her so angry.
Really...
I don’t know how to put it, he doesn’t look like the Gu Hansong in his thirties at all, it’s so tiring to get along with him.
Last time he got himself covered in mud and didn't say a word or apologize, she didn't take it to heart and slowly got over her anger.
By chance these two days, the two of them always met each other. Although his face was cold, his attitude was still casual.
Now, he brought her here to find books again. Meng Shulan was quite happy, thinking that the relationship could slowly break the ice.
Is there something wrong with this person's brain? He gets angry at the slightest provocation.
It made her unhappy.
Really, although I always knew that he was a man of few words, his personality was so weird when he was young.
Meng Shulan pouted and turned to leave. The bad-tempered guy finally spoke, "The book is inside."
After saying that, he turned directly to the small warehouse not far away.
Meng Shulan looked back and jogged to catch up.
No matter how angry you are, you still have to buy the book.
The warehouse is just ahead, just a dozen steps away.
This place looked old. The door of the small warehouse was broken and one third of the space was empty.
Meng Shulan looked inside through the gap. It was dimly lit and she couldn't see clearly, but she could vaguely see that there were many, many books.
Meng Shulan said, "Is it okay to barge in like this? Whose territory is this? Will they cause trouble for us when they come back?"
She was still a little scared.
But Gu Hansong didn't listen to her advice at all and just pushed the door open.
As the door creaked, a smell of rotting paper wafted towards me.
Gu Hansong said, "They are all unwanted books. Go in and take a look."
Don’t want the book?
Meng Shulan walked in curiously, looked at the wooden boards and the books scattered on the shelves, and roughly understood what was going on with the books here.
These were things collected from various units and places in previous years, and were listed as prohibited at the time.
A lot of good stuff was destroyed and burned during those years.
I don’t know what’s going on here. They collected it but didn’t do anything with it.
Meng Shulan asked quietly, "Is this the bookstore's warehouse or the library's?"
The bookstore and library in front are next to each other, and the warehouse is just behind them. Meng Shulan is not quite sure.
Gu Hansong: "The library. They are all unwanted books. The old warehouse manager said that the warehouse will be burned down after cleaning out in a few days. Take whatever you want quickly."
My God, these are good books, and they are going to be burned.
After hearing what Gu Hansong said, Meng Shulan no longer felt any psychological burden.
Moreover, judging from the tone of his voice, he should know the warehouse manager.
"Then I'll choose. You can talk to the warehouse manager later. If I need money or something, you can help me pay for it first and ask me for it later."
"Um."
Now he is obedient.
Meng Shulan grinned, and the anger that had just arisen had disappeared, and she quickly went to look for a book on the rotten wooden shelf.
When Gu Hansong saw her happy expression, his heart, which had just been suppressed, began to beat uncontrollably again.
It’s Children’s Day. I wish all the babies who read books a happy holiday, happiness and health, and good fortune…
