Guan Jinghua was a little worried. "It's dark outside. Can we go look for it tomorrow?"
"I'll go and take a look. It will be easier to find it today." Xu Mei insisted.
Thinking that this place was not far from the bookstore, Guan Jinghua did not refuse again, but just told her to come back quickly.
Xu Mei hurried towards the bookstore. The dark environment seemed like a beast lurking in the dark, waiting to devour people. She finally reached the door of the bookstore, but it was locked.
She was a little annoyed and stared at the door of the bookstore without moving. At this moment, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Are you back here looking for something?"
After hearing the voice, Xu Mei didn't turn around for a long time.
Qin Dongling behind him frowned. He was the last customer before Xinhua Bookstore closed. After walking for a while with a few books in his arms, he found a thick notebook at the bottom.
He thought he must have accidentally taken someone else's things, so he waited outside the store for such a long time, and finally saw someone coming, but the person didn't even turn back.
Anyone who doesn't like reading but learns that cadres are required to take the lead in supporting literacy and have to borrow textbooks and dictionaries even during vacations will be in a bad mood.
Just as he was about to ask another question, the man finally turned around.
The girl in front of him was so beautiful that her eyes and nose were a little red. It was no exaggeration to say that all of Qin Dongling's negative emotions were suppressed by this one look.
The two stood face to face, and for a moment, no one said a word.
The young Qin Dongling has dark pupils and prominent brow bones. Wearing a military uniform, he looks sharp and indifferent.
He quickly handed the notebook forward.
"…It's mine." Xu Mei glanced at him quickly, "Thank you."
Her voice was clear and melodious, just like her, impeccable.
When he took the notebook, perhaps accidentally, the pair of fair hands touched his hand. The soft touch made Qin Dongling stiffen all over.
As if there was an electric shock, I lost my grip on the notebook and it fell to the ground.
He quickly picked up the notebook and handed it to Xu Mei, "Sorry, I didn't hold it firmly."
"It's okay," the latter patted it and put it in his arms, with some confusion in his eyes, "How did it get into your hands?"
Qin Dongling gave a brief explanation.
"Thank you." Xu Mei raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and when she saw the dictionary in his arms, her smile deepened.
Although it was not quite the same as the acquaintance in his memory, as long as Qin Dongling appeared, everything was back on track.
On the other side, looking at this pair of beautiful eyes, Qin Dongling also felt that it should be a match just now.
Why would she touch her own hand?
Qin Dongling secretly breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to talk about going home, but he saw that Xu Mei's eyes were fixed on another place.
Following her gaze, they saw a few men standing not far away. They seemed to have their backs to them, but they would glance at them from time to time.
He changed his tone and said, "It's not safe this late. I'll take you home."
Xu Mei hugged the notebook tightly and looked at him with some gratitude.
Looking at her grateful eyes, the regret in Qin Dongling's heart gradually subsided.
The two of them walked silently on the dark road until they reached Xu Mei's house, without saying another word.
"Thank you for taking me back." Xu Mei looked at the door of her home which was just a stone's throw away. For the first time, she felt that her home was too close to the bookstore.
"It's okay." Qin Dongling said, "Don't come out so late next time."
Xu Mei nodded and said, "You must be careful when you go back... Are you going to the bookstore tomorrow?" As she spoke, she raised her eyes, and her facial features looked extremely delicate.
Qin Dongling thought he was not a nosy person or someone who didn't understand privacy, but for some reason, when he looked at those beautiful eyes, many things became uncontrollable.
