Serene surrounded her, Book Fragrance lingering in the air.
In the spacious library, Shu Ran quietly walked through the aisles, her slender fingers wrapped around a book.
Bright sunlight poured in, enveloping her body in a hazy glow, intertwining with her hair. Shu Ran picked up the book and gently sat down on a wooden chair in the library.
What Jiang Yiwei saw as he ascended the stairs was this beautiful scene. She slightly lowered her head, her soft hair glistening with a faint golden hue under the sunlight, lazily cascading down to her chest.
She wore a floral dress, simple in color, complementing her unadorned face. Suddenly, he was reminded of a line from a poem: "The pure water brings forth the lotus, naturally unadorned."
A breeze gently swept through the window, stirring the loose strands of hair on her forehead. She raised her hand and lightly tucked her hair behind her ear, inadvertently revealing a delicate and fair ear.
A layer of desire gradually tinted Jiang Yiwei's eyes, and a sudden wave of heat surged within him.
He licked his slightly dry lips, the corners of his mouth curling up into an aggressive smile.
He was interested in this woman before him, with a strong interest.
He stepped forward slowly and saw that beside her pale and slender arm lay a book. She was lost in thought, seemingly blocking out everything around her.
Even when he stood right in front of her, she remained unaware until he pulled out the chair opposite her with a "creak." Only then did she seem to come back to reality, lifting her head in confusion.
How is it him again?
That was Shu Ran's first thought upon seeing Jiang Yiwei.
He waved a book in front of her and asked, "Do you mind if I sit here?"
He asked in such a way, but his actions showed no intention of inquiry as he pulled out a chair and sat directly across from her.
Inside, Shu Ran thought, well, actually I do mind.
However, she ultimately said nothing and buried her head back into her book.
Clearly, the person across from her was not going to let her read in peace.
As soon as he sat down, he asked, "Miss Shu, are you a student at this school?"
Shu Ran did not want to talk, but out of politeness, she replied, "No, I'm just here to take care of some matters."
He smiled and changed the subject. "Is Miss Shu a classmate of Meng Yihan?"
"No, just in the same class."
"I apologize for what happened last time; it's all Meng Yihan's fault for being spoiled by us."
"It's fine; it's already in the past."
Shu Ran replied lightly, her tone indicating that she had no intention of continuing the conversation.
But the colder she was, the more interested Jiang Yiwei became.
He focused intently on her, his gaze burning with an intense desire that radiated from the depths of his eyes.
Even though Shu Ran concentrated on her book, she could still feel his scorching gaze.
The gaze pierced her, making her feel uncomfortable, as if she were sitting on pins and needles, and all she wanted was to get up and leave.
Fortunately, Shu Mother happened to call at that moment.
Shu Ran answered the phone, finding an excuse to stand up. She casually grabbed the book from the table and nodded at Jiang Yiwei, saying, "I have something to attend to, so I’ll be leaving now."
Without waiting for his response, she hurriedly placed the book back in its original position while continuing her conversation with Shu Mother on the phone.
Jiang Yiwei smiled, focusing intently on her hurried figure as she walked away. His gaze was profound and meaningful, leaving one unable to decipher his thoughts.
By the time Shu Ran reached the Teaching Building, Shu Mother was already waiting by the flowerbed with a group of teachers to board the bus.
Shu Mother was chatting with her colleagues when she spotted Shu Ran rushing over from the direction of the library.
She smiled and apologized to her colleagues before walking over to wait for her.
As Shu Ran approached, Shu Mother took out a tissue to wipe her sweat. "Why are you running so fast?"
Shu Ran replied breathlessly, "I was afraid of being late and missing the bus."
Saying this, she took off her backpack and placed it in front of her, pulling out documents and identification to hand to Shu Mother.
After confirming everything was in order, Shu Mother reminded her, "Be careful on your way back later."
"I'm not going to be home for the next few days. You need to eat your meals on time and don’t rely too much on takeout, okay?"
"Your brother and sister-in-law should also be back in a couple of days. If you have time, help Mom tidy up the house."
Shu Ran nodded repeatedly in agreement.
"Hey, Teacher Su, who is this little girl? She looks so lovely."
(Shu Mother's original name is Su Xueyi, but I was too lazy to write it out and just used Shu Mother.)
A middle-aged woman approached, about the same age as Shu Mother, and began to inquire about her.
Shu Mother smiled and introduced, "This is my daughter Shu Ran, here to deliver some documents for me."
"This is my colleague, Teacher Xu."
"Hello, Auntie," Shu Ran greeted politely.
"Very nice to meet you," Teacher Xu replied with a smile, carefully observing Shu Ran, her eyes sparkling with interest.
After a moment of looking her over, she suddenly took Shu Mother's hand and leaned in to whisper, "Hey, Teacher Su, does your daughter have a boyfriend? If not, I would like to introduce my son to her."
Shu Mother laughed heartily, "I'm really sorry, but my daughter already has a boyfriend."
Teacher Xu expressed some regret, "Oh, I see." After a few seconds, she added, "But it makes sense; with a girl as beautiful as yours, how could she not have a boyfriend?"
Shu Mother smiled but didn't say anything further.
Meanwhile, all the teachers attending the seminar had arrived, and the bus had started. All the teachers began to board one after another.
Shu Mother also shouldered her bag and waved goodbye to Shu Ran, then slowly climbed onto the bus.
Shu Ran stood under the bus, looking up at the figure of Shu Mother as she walked through the aisle and took a seat by the window in the third-to-last row.
She saw Shu Ran and waved her hand, signaling her to go back. Shu Ran obediently nodded, waved goodbye, and slowly walked towards the parking lot.
On the way, her phone suddenly rang.
A strange number.
Shu Ran glanced at it; it wasn't Qin Xian's.
The number was quite attractive, ending with six eights.
Shu Ran couldn't recall anyone she knew whose number was so beautiful. She hesitantly answered the call, "Hello? Who is this?"
A steady male voice came from the other end, "Hello, is this Miss Shu?"
Shu Ran felt a bit confused, not understanding the situation, but she still replied, "Yes."
"Hello, I am Old Qin's secretary. Old Qin is hosting a grand birthday banquet tomorrow and has specifically invited you to attend. The invitation has already been sent to your residence; please check for it."
"Old Qin specifically instructed that you must come."
