library
"Buzz~" The phone vibrated twice.
When Xu Feifei opened her phone and saw that Lin Yuan had replied, her worries dissipated considerably, and she felt relieved.
Originally intending to return to the dormitory, he turned around and went back to the library after receiving Lin Yuan's message.
The library is very large, with tables and chairs on each floor, providing places to study.
Xu Feifei and Lin Yuan had visited the library once before, but they only took a cursory look around and had no idea what types of books were there or where they were located.
This time she's going to take a good walk; it's time to absorb knowledge this weekend.
She wandered around and discovered that the library had a wide variety of books, including Chinese reading materials, English dictionaries, and math olympiad books...
She pulled out one of the books and looked at it, but the contents were all cryptic and incomprehensible to her. She didn't recognize it, and it didn't recognize her either. So she quickly put it back.
There were many books related to learning, of all kinds. Xu Feifei looked at the several shelves of textbooks and couldn't help but marvel at the sheer number of exercises. She wondered if they had textbooks and workbooks from all over the country!
She might sigh in admiration, but she would never stop looking at them because she couldn't understand them!
After browsing the first floor, I took the elevator to the second floor. There were even more books here, and of even more different types.
After wandering around for a while, Xu Feifei finally found the romance novels on the shelf. These are romance novels! Romance! Romance!
She walked over happily, her heart pounding and her hands trembling, and picked up a novel at random, opening it with great anticipation.
What's shocking is that the book is completely blank!
Xu Feifei couldn't believe it. She flipped through the pages, but they were still blank.
Puzzled, why is this blank? Did the librarian not notice when putting the book away? She put the book back, took out another book, opened it, and saw that it was also blank!
Xu Feifei was surprised to take out a few more books. Unsurprisingly, they were all blank, without a single word, except for the normal book covers.
What's going on?
Confused, she took the books to the registration desk on the second floor and asked, "Hello, I'd like to ask why these books are blank?"
The auntie at the registration desk picked up the book, flipped through it, looked at her with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Where is there a blank space here?"
"No, the whole book is blank!"
"No! These books are all printed," the aunt said, flipping through the book again.
Xu Feifei stared in astonishment at the woman in front of her, not understanding what was going on. So she took her book and walked over to her classmates who were studying.
Taking a deep breath to calm myself down, I said, "Excuse me, could I bother you for a moment?"
The students who were studying looked up at her and nodded.
"Take a look at this book, are there any words in it?" Xu Feifei handed the book to the classmate.
The student flipped through them and said, "Yes."
Xu Feifei was shocked and speechless, saying, "Thank you...thank you, classmate!" Incredulous, she asked several other people, and without exception, the answer was always yes.
Xu Feifei looked at the book in front of her and fell into deep thought.
This means that only she sees the books as blank, while everyone else sees words on them. How is this possible? Is the Mary Sue world currently experiencing a bug?
I remember reading a math Olympiad book before, and I could still see the contents. Why can't I see the romance novel section?
With that in mind, I started searching everywhere for books of all kinds.
It turned out to be true; only romance novels were unavailable, while all other books were accessible.
Xu Feifei racked her brains but couldn't figure out why. Frustrated, she returned to the area where romance novels were displayed, picked up a few books, and flipped through them, but they were still blank.
After pondering for a while, I still couldn't come up with anything.
I vaguely remember Lin Yuan telling her that she could borrow books from the library using her school card, up to ten books at a time.
Since she can't see anything now, maybe she will be able to figure it out later.
She'd borrow ten then; she refused to believe there wasn't a romance novel here she couldn't understand. If she couldn't understand math olympiads and physics, surely she could understand the bugs in this world?
Without hesitation, she grabbed five novels with covers she found interesting, along with five older ones. After registering, she laboriously carried the novels back to her dormitory.
She prayed to heaven that she would soon meet someone she knew who could share the burden of this knowledge.
After Xu Feifei returned to her dormitory and put the books away, she collapsed to the floor.
My mind was racing, thinking, "This doesn't make sense!" I hadn't run into a single acquaintance along the way. Normally, someone would always pop up on the street and call out, "Feifei, Feifei! What bad luck today!"
After she caught her breath, she picked up a book at random, flipped through it for a long time, and said in a puzzled tone, "What's going on? I can't see a single word!"
After a while, all the novels were scattered haphazardly on the floor.
Xu Feifei grabbed a book at random and checked it again, still not finding anything. Dejected, she covered her face with the book and quietly contemplated life.
"Knock knock knock"
Xu Feifei was awakened by the knocking on the door. The book that had been covering her face had fallen onto the sofa as she changed her sleeping position.
Another knocking sound rang out.
Xu Feifei got up groggily, asking as she walked, "Who is it?"
The knocking on the door gradually changed from regular to irregular, becoming a chaotic, loud, and increasingly intense sound.
Xu Feifei instantly tensed up, her scalp tingling. She grabbed the kettle beside her and hid around the corner, watching the door warily.
The knocking grew louder, and the door began to shake. Seeing that they were about to break down the door, Xu Feifei's breathing quickened, and her hands trembled uncontrollably. She picked up her phone to call the police.
After trembling, I dialed the emergency number and was about to press the call button when suddenly, there was a loud "bang" at the door—the door had broken open.
The phone was so startled that it fell to the ground, landing not far ahead.
Xu Feifei wanted to go there, but her limbs went weak and wouldn't obey her brain's commands, leaving her unable to move.
"Here it is!" A scornful laugh came from the side.
Upon hearing this, Xu Feifei felt a chill run down her spine. She gripped the water bottle tightly and threw it aside, closing her eyes and crying out, "Go to hell!"
She sobbed softly, "Go to hell!"
Then she slowly opened her eyes, only to find everything pitch black. Xu Feifei sat up in shock, the book slipping from her face and falling to the ground with a "thud".
Still shaken, I stared blankly at the book that had fallen to the ground. After a long while, it finally dawned on me—it was all a dream!
She raised her hand to touch her face and found it still wet with tears. She picked up a tissue from the table and wiped away her tears.
She was terrified by the dream she had just had; she thought the world of Mary Sue novels was about to turn into a suspense novel world.
"Knock knock knock!"
When Xu Feifei heard the knocking again, she immediately tensed up, looking warily at the door while clutching her phone tightly in her hand.
"Feifei, are you in the dorm?" Lin Yuan's voice came from outside the door.
Upon hearing Lin Yuan's voice, Xu Feifei relaxed completely, and her anxious heart returned to normal.
With a dry voice, he replied, "Yes!" and ran to the door to open it.
After seeing Xu Feifei, Lin Yuan asked, "What happened to your voice?"
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
"It sounds a bit hoarse."
"I just got up. I just dozed off on the sofa for a while."
Lin Yuan nodded, glanced at her a few more times to make sure she was alright, then changed her shoes and said, "I brought you some late-night snacks and sweet soup."
"Wow! I love you!" Xu Feifei excitedly took the sugar water from Lin Yuan and eagerly carried it to the table.
Seeing her happy, Lin Yuan couldn't help but smile as well.
Xu Feifei tidied up the scattered books and stacked them in the corner of the sofa. She opened the sweet soup and called out, "Come on, sit down! It's time to eat."
Untying the bag, she laid out the lunchboxes one by one, muttering, "Red bean double-skin milk, mango sago pudding, and seaweed and mung bean soup."
"I bought it from the old store; the classic style is their signature dish. I don't know if you like it."
"I'm happy as long as I have something to eat, I'm not picky! Hahaha!" Xu Feifei laughed.
"That's good!" Lin Yuan saw that Xu Feifei's smile hadn't faded, and the corners of her mouth curled up.
"Which one do you want to drink?" Xu Feifei asked, holding a spoon and looking at her with bright eyes.
"I'm fine with either."
"Hmm~ then you can have the double-skin milk pudding, I'll have the mango sago pudding, and we'll split the mung bean soup in half." Xu Feifei made the decision happily.
Xu Feifei took a sip. The milk flavor was rich and creamy, with a refreshing mango taste. The mango was very fresh, and the sago pearls were bouncy and chewy.
"Delicious! No wonder it's an old establishment!" Xu Feifei exclaimed.
"I'm glad you like it!" Lin Yuan looked at her with a smile in her eyes, her eyes full of doting affection.
Xu Feifei scooped up a full spoonful and held it to her lips, saying, "You should try it too!"
Lin Yuan stared blankly at the sugar water at her lips.
"What's wrong? Do you mind?" Xu Feifei saw that she was standing there motionless and assumed that she minded sharing the same food with someone else. Just as Lin Yuan was about to pull her outstretched hand back, she took a bite and ate it.
He smiled and said, "Delicious!"
Xu Feifei chimed in, "I think so too! I'll try your double-skin milk!" Without any hesitation, she scooped a large spoonful from Lin Yuan's bowl and ate it, adding, "This is delicious too!"
After eating and drinking her fill, Xu Feifei slumped contentedly on the sofa, patting her little belly and exclaiming, "The sweet soup was so delicious!"
Lin Yuan tidied up the takeout boxes on the table and sat down on the sofa. Just as she was about to recline, she bumped into something hard. Looking back, she saw that they were all books, romance novels.
Lin Yuan was taken aback. Looking at the novel covers and the number of novels, she took one out and flipped through its synopsis, asking in confusion, "Why are there so many novels?"
"Oh! I borrowed that from the library. By the way, Lin Yuan, do you think the printing quality of this book is clear?"
"Hmm?" Lin Yuan looked down and fiddled with the book for a bit, flipping through a few pages before saying, "This novel is very clear."
"Let me see." Xu Feifei reached out and took the novel, flipped through a few pages, but just like before, she couldn't see anything except the cover.
"Sigh!" Xu Feifei looked at the novel in her hand and sighed.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yuan looked at her, puzzled.
"It's nothing, it's nothing!" Xu Feifei quickly shook her head and said.
Lin Yuan frowned slightly and continued flipping through other novels. Her brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and the smile that had appeared after her late-night snack vanished as she turned the pages.
Then, somewhat seriously, he said, "Feifei, do you still remember our promise?"
"Huh? What agreement?" Xu Feifei looked at Lin Yuan with confusion.
"I will not date during high school."
"I remember now, it definitely won't happen, don't worry!" Xu Feifei said to Lin Yuan with great confidence.
Lin Yuan's brows finally relaxed a little, and then she asked, "Why did you borrow so many books?"
"Uh... I was bored, just browsing around!" Xu Feifei casually lied, she couldn't very well say that she was using it to analyze plot holes in the novel.
Lin Yuan nodded thoughtfully, "Then remember to finish your homework before looking at this, so as not to delay your studies."
"Absolutely!"
Lin Yuan glanced at the night outside the window, then checked the time on her watch. "I'll head back now! Get some sleep!"
"Okay, good night!" Xu Feifei saw Lin Yuan to the door and watched her return to her room.
Xu Feifei took a bath towel to the bathroom to wash up. On the edge of the books on the sofa, a bookmark, because it was not placed properly, slowly fell to the ground due to gravity.
