Borrowing books
Xu Feifei curiously peered at the book in Lin Yuan's hand. Lin Yuan noticed her gaze and showed her the book cover. "What's wrong?"
“Psychology and Life” and “Skills and Strategies of Psychological Counseling”. Xu Feifei looked at the book covers and read them quietly.
"Lin Yuan, do you want to study psychology?" Xu Feifei asked curiously.
"No, I was just looking around." After showing the book, Lin Yuan turned the cover back over.
Xu Feifei gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, "No wonder you're a top student! You can read books that I can't understand at all."
The top student can casually glance at textbooks, while she can casually glance at erotic novels like "The Domineering CEO Falls in Love with Me," "The Domineering School Prince Falls in Love with Me," and "The Domineering School Bully Falls in Love with Me," and so on—a whole series of domineering stories.
In short, as long as it's domineering, that's the vibe. Of course, these are novels I used to enjoy reading. Anyway, the era of "non-mainstream" is over, and the once wildly popular Mary Sue novels have slowly faded from everyone's view.
Xu Feifei rarely reads novels with Mary Sue themes these days, but she never expected that when she picked it up again, she would unexpectedly travel to the world of Mary Sue.
Life is truly unpredictable, like a large intestine enclosing a small intestine!
Although the themes of novels keep changing, her love for reading novels remains unchanged. Now she reads novels of all kinds, but romance novels are still the most common.
Lin Yuan, a top student, spends her free time reading professional books, which is why there is a gap between her and other top students.
"Feifei, what's that book you're holding?"
Xu Feifei's thoughts were immediately pulled back by Lin Yuan's voice.
"Oh, this is it!!" Xu Feifei showed the cover of the novel and was stunned when she saw it.
The cover is colorful and vibrant, reminiscent of the Mary Sue novels of yesteryear! The title is also the famous "The Domineering CEO's Substitute for His White Moonlight".
Lin Yuan frowned when she saw the book cover.
Xu Feifei quickly pulled up the novel below to cover it, but it didn't help much. It was titled "The Charming Prince Falls in Love with Me".
Pupils were shocked again, and hurriedly pulled out the last novel that had not yet been revealed, "My Love Affair with the Ice Prince".
Xu Feifei frantically covered the novel's cover with her hand, her face flushed and her expression full of embarrassment. Oh my god, this is practically a public, massive social disaster!
Lin Yuan frowned as she looked at the titles of the three novels, took a breath almost imperceptibly, and asked incredulously, "Feifei, you like this type of novel?"
"No, no, I took the wrong book! I'll go exchange it right now!" Xu Feifei denied it three times, eager to clear herself of any wrongdoing. After saying that, she turned and walked back.
Lin Yuan pulled her aside, her expression somewhat subtle, and said, "Feifei, you don't need to hide anything from me. It's nothing. Everyone has their own unique hobbies and attributes."
Xu Feifei felt wronged! This was really just a novel she picked up casually; she never expected that the library would have such an old-fashioned novel.
I was just thinking that I don't like reading this type of novel anymore, but unexpectedly, I picked up three of them in the blink of an eye.
We used to love each other to the point of life and death, but that's all in the past.
Actually, she could still accept it now. But she absolutely couldn't let Lin Yuan mistakenly believe that she still liked this type of novel; that would be too shameful!
"I really took the wrong one." Xu Feifei insisted on walking back, her embarrassment still lingering on her face. Forcing herself to calm down, she said to Lin Yuan with a serious expression, "I really don't like reading these kinds of novels, you have to believe me!"
Lin Yuan glanced at her, then hesitated before looking at the novel in her hand.
Seeing that she was staring at the book in her hand, Xu Feifei quickly covered it with her hand to prevent her from seeing it.
Then, Lin Yuan looked at her and nodded, indicating that she believed her.
Xu Feifei returned to the area where she had taken the three books, feeling embarrassed and shy. She looked at the novels in her hands and thought that physical copies of this type of novel had disappeared from the public eye. It seemed that she was wrong. This type of novel had always been around; she just hadn't paid attention to it.
She picked up one of the books and flipped through it casually, intending to put it back, but then noticed blurry ink marks on it. There seemed to be writing faintly visible. Looking at the remaining two books, she saw similar ink marks.
Xu Feifei's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at the three novels. She hurriedly pulled out other romance novels from the shelf, but they were all blank, with no blurry print. She flipped through many books, but still found nothing; only those three novels had them.
She stared intently at the three novels in her hands, trying to glean any useful information from them, but found nothing.
It seems we really have to borrow them this time.
"Feifei, what's wrong?" Lin Yuan had been waiting for Xu Feifei downstairs for a while, and when she saw that she hadn't come over yet, she came over to check on her.
"It's nothing." Xu Feifei covered the novel's cover completely and walked in front of Lin Yuan as if nothing was wrong.
"let's go!"
"Didn't you say you were going to exchange books?" Lin Yuan stood still.
Xu Feifei was greatly shocked, and embarrassment returned to her face. She stammered, "You, how did you know?"
"You didn't cover the spine of the book properly."
Xu Feifei glanced at it hastily, and exclaimed, "Oh no, it's not covered!" She quickly covered it up, trying to cover her ears and pretend that Lin Yuan hadn't seen it.
Lin Yuan stepped forward and said, "Feifei."
She hesitated for a moment, then finally sighed softly, "Let's go, let's register."
Xu Feifei could tell from Lin Yuan's expression that she had misunderstood, and quickly explained, "No, no, I really don't like watching it."
"The reason I kept it is because of its beautiful colors!" Xu Feifei glanced down at the cover of the novel, which was colorful and vibrant, reminiscent of the non-mainstream style of that era.
He hurriedly explained, "No, no, it's because its subject matter is novel."
Xu Feifei's words became increasingly absurd, filled with fabricated nonsense.
Lin Yuan then said, "Feifei, I've told you before, you never need to hide anything from me, it's nothing."
Xu Feifei knew it was a misunderstanding, but she couldn't explain it! Waaah!
Lin Yuan frowned, her lips were tightly pursed, and her expression was not very pleasant.
Xu Feifei sensed that Lin Yuan was unhappy, but she didn't know how to explain it to her, feeling that whatever she said would be wrong.
Fine, that's fine then! This is her favorite novel, sob sob!
"Su Huan, please register." Xu Feifei solicitously handed Lin Yuan's books over.
"Okay." Su Huan smiled shyly and accepted it.
While she was registering, Xu Feifei looked around and placed her novel on the desk, saying, "Please register me while you're at it, thank you."
After speaking, she pretended to tidy her hair, loosening the hair clipped to her ears, and then fiddling with her eyes and nose. Her whole demeanor exuded an air of guilt.
"You're welcome, it's my job." Su Huan took the book, and when she saw the novel's cover, her expression froze, and a strange glint flashed in her eyes. But it disappeared in an instant.
"Alright, I've registered your books."
Xu Feifei snatched the book with lightning speed, "Thank you!"
After getting the book, he took Lin Yuan's hand and walked out, saying, "Lin Yuan, let's go back to the dormitory." His tone was suggestive, but his actions left no room for negotiation.
Lin Yuan didn't say anything and just followed her. Just as they stepped out of the library, Xu Feifei was called back.
"Feifei".
Xu Feifei turned around and saw Zhang Jiayi smiling and waving at her. She then ran up to them and cheerfully asked, "What a coincidence! Are you here to borrow books?"
The moment Xu Feifei saw him, she quickly hid the book behind her back. Lin Yuan frowned slightly after this small action.
"Oh yeah, what a coincidence! Are you here to borrow books from the library too?" Xu Feifei said with a forced smile, wanting to get through this quickly and leave.
"No, I just finished playing ball and was just about to go buy a bottle of water!" Zhang Jiayi said with a smile and a shake of his head.
Xu Feifei noticed his hair was still wet; he really loved playing basketball, judging by how sweaty he was. Every time she ran into him, he was either on his way to or after playing basketball.
Suddenly, Xu Feifei's hand was empty; the book had been snatched away.
She hurriedly turned around and saw the male protagonist reading the book she had just borrowed. She tried to snatch the book back from him, but it was too late.
“The Domineering CEO’s Substitute for His White Moonlight,” “The Charming Prince Falls in Love with Me,” and “My Love Affair with the Ice Prince.” Nangong Ye read out the titles one by one.
Oh my god! This is a total social disaster, even more embarrassing and utterly mortifying than what happened in the library just now. Xu Feifei really wants to find a crack in the ground to crawl into and escape this planet. Happy Planet, where are you? She's coming right now.
"I didn't expect that you, Xu Feifei, would like to read this kind of novel?" Nangong Ye patted the book in his hand.
"However, no matter how much you see..."
"These are books I borrowed, so what?" Lin Yuan glanced coldly at Nangong Ye and asked in a way that brooked no argument.
Nangong Ye was immediately overwhelmed by Lin Yuan's aura. He stared at Lin Yuan with wide eyes in disbelief, then looked at the novel in his hand. His big eyes seemed to say, "This is impossible, absolutely impossible."
Xu Feifei and Zhang Jiayi looked at Lin Yuan in surprise, but for different reasons.
"No, that..." Xu Feifei tried to explain.
"Give it back to me," Lin Yuan said coldly.
Nangong Ye silently returned the book to Lin Yuan, then glanced at Xu Feifei. An awkward silence hung in the air for two seconds.
Xu Feifei broke the silence first, saying, "Um, we're going back to the dorm now. Bye!"
She waved her hand, said goodbye, and then took Lin Yuan with her.
Nangong Ye and Zhang Jiayi stood there for a moment, then said goodbye.
Zhang Jiayi also realized what was happening and happily ran off to buy water.
Only Nangong Ye remained, staring blankly at their departing figures.
