The library in the afternoon is indeed a place filled with tranquility and an atmosphere of learning. Sunlight streams in through the tall windows, casting a warm and gentle glow on the dusty shelves filled with knowledge. Gu Pan carries a stack of books, weaving through the shelves, her eyes quickly scanning the titles of each book, searching for the information she needs, with a hint of unwavering determination on her face. 0
 
Meanwhile, Zhou Ziheng appears relaxed and content, sitting in a corner of the library, holding a leisure magazine. He seems to be reading, but in reality, his gaze occasionally lingers on Gu Pan, showing a subtle and curious interest in her busyness. 0
 
 
"Brother, can't you help me find the books? I'm doing all the work by myself." Gu Pan Holding a few heavy reference books, she looked at Zhou Ziheng with a bit of annoyance. 0
 
Zhou Ziheng lazily raised his head, a playful smile on his lips. "I'm studying here by reading, isn't that considered learning? Besides, aren't you better at this, Xiao Tauzi?" His tone carried a hint of mockery, yet remained affectionate. 0
 
 
Gu Pan pouted and muttered as she sat down in an empty seat, beginning to flip through books. Her focused appearance clearly indicated that she had already put Zhou Ziheng's mockery out of her mind. 0
 
Time in the library always seemed to fly by, and Gu Pan soon became immersed in the sea of books, occasionally furrowing her brow to take notes. Her facial expressions alternated between concentration and confusion, evidently pondering some profound questions. Meanwhile, Zhou Ziheng set aside the magazine in his hand and leaned over to take a look at her notebook. 0
 
 
"This question will be easier to solve using this method," he lightly tapped the question with his fingertips and began to patiently explain, his voice carrying an imperceptible hint of concern. 0
 
Gu Pan Listening to Zhou Ziheng's explanation, her eyes gradually lit up, as if she had found a glimmer of hope in the darkness. "I see, I've been stuck here all this time. Thank you, big brother," her voice was filled with sincere gratitude. 0
 
 
Zhou Ziheng Looking at her, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes: "It's nothing, silly, just ask me directly next time you have a problem." His tone was relaxed, yet still superior, showing his confidence in his knowledge. 0
 
In the quiet of the library, the two of them helped each other, solving their respective learning difficulties. In this process, they not only deepened their understanding of knowledge, but also deepened their understanding of each other in an intangible way. 0
 
 
On this quiet afternoon in the library, Gu Pan and Zhou Ziheng are sitting at a long table surrounded by books piled up like small mountains. Gu Pan furrows her brows slightly, holding a pencil in her hand, jotting down point after point in her notebook. Meanwhile, Zhou Ziheng is half-leaning on the back of his chair, one hand supporting his head, seemingly not particularly interested in the books in front of him. 0
 
Suddenly, a low whisper catches Gu Pan's attention. She tilts her head slightly towards the source of the sound, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes. Gu Pan's lips curl into a mischievous smile as she says to Zhou Ziheng, "Brother, look, what are they doing over there? Are they gossiping about something mysterious?" 0
 
 
Zhou Ziheng glanced at her lazily and replied, " Xiao Tauzi, your curiosity is too much. What does their gossip have to do with us? We are here to study, it's not good to be distracted like this." 0
 
Gu Pan pouted and responded discontentedly, "Hmph, with your attitude, how can you discover the joy in life?" 0
 
 
At this moment, the murmuring grew louder and even began to draw disapproving glances from the surrounding students. Seeing this, Zhou Ziheng seemed to be affected in some way. He lazily stood up, stretched, and walked towards those classmates. 0
 
Watching Zhou Ziheng approach, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. This proactive behavior was quite rare for him, who was usually lazy. As Zhou Ziheng reached the group of classmates, his usual indifferent expression softened. He calmly said, "You are speaking so loudly, disturbing others. The library is a place for studying, not for making noise." 0
 
 
Those classmates felt a little awkward when they saw Zhou Ziheng walking over, and immediately lowered their heads to apologize: "Sorry, we didn't notice." 0
 
Zhou Ziheng nodded, gesturing for them to pay attention to the volume, and then slowly walked back to Gu Pan's side. His attitude seemed indifferent, but his eyes revealed a hint of seriousness that could not be ignored. 0
 
 
Zhou Ziheng had just returned to his seat when Gu Pan eagerly approached, his eyes shining with curiosity: "Brother, were they just discussing school matters? How did you come back so quickly?" 0
 
Zhou Ziheng smiled slightly, seemingly amused by Gu Pan's curiosity. He leaned comfortably against the back of the chair and lazily replied, "Yes, little silly, just some details about school activities. What else did you think it could be, state secrets?" 0
 
 
Gu Pan He gave him a glare and grumbled discontentedly, "Brother, you're always like this, never serious at all." 0
 
Zhou Ziheng shook his head, opened a book, and said with a serious tone, "Panpan, we are in the library. We should maintain quiet and focus on studying, not play detective." 0
 
 
Gu Pan Although unwilling, she had to sit down obediently and refocus on the book in her hand. However, her eyes would occasionally drift towards that corner, showing her lingering curiosity. 0
 
Meanwhile, Zhou Ziheng squinted his eyes, seemingly engrossed in reading, but a faint almost imperceptible smile would occasionally appear at the corner of his mouth. He actually enjoyed interacting with Gu Pan, finding it warm and amusing. 0
 
 
Before long, Gu Pan immersed herself in her studies once again. The library regained its former tranquility, with only the occasional sound of pages turning and the gentle breeze outside. In this environment, both Gu Pan and Zhou Ziheng appeared more focused, continuously adding new notes to their notebooks and displaying a more tacit understanding in their collaboration. 0
 
The evening sunlight streamed through the tall windows of the library, casting warm and comfortable atmospheres in every corner. After a day of studying, Gu Pan felt a hint of fatigue. She stretched with a big yawn, her eyes shining with a sense of accomplishment. She turned to Zhou Ziheng with a bright smile on her face and said, "Brother, today was really productive. With your help, the efficiency of our study was so high." 0
 
 
Zhou Ziheng Looking at her, with a faint smile in his eyes, he maintained his lazy attitude, but his tone revealed a hint of casual satisfaction: "Studying with you makes time fly by. Little sister, I'm sure you'll do well on this exam." His voice carried a playful tone, yet it didn't lack concern. 0
 
Gu Pan She showed a happy smile, quickly tidied up her books, and put them back into her bag one by one. Her movements were swift and powerful, showing her vitality and determination: "We should study together at the library next time, big brother." Her voice was filled with anticipation. 0
 
 
Zhou Ziheng stood up and stretched lazily, his expression carrying a hint of playfulness: "Of course, as long as it doesn't affect my magazine reading time." His words carried a hint of jest, but his eyes revealed encouragement for Gu Pan. 0
 
As they walked out of the library, the lingering glow of the sunset dyed the sky a brilliant orange-red. Gu Pan tugged at Zhou Ziheng's sleeve, looking expectantly and said, "Brother, let's go have dinner. I want fast food!" 0
 
 
Zhou Ziheng stretched lazily and half-jokingly said, "Fast food again? Xiao Tauzi, are you trying to sabotage my healthy lifestyle plan?" 0
 
Gu Pan pouted and playfully retorted, "Brother, indulge occasionally, and after working so hard today, we should reward ourselves." 0
 
 
Zhou Ziheng looked at Gu Pan with that cute look and couldn't help but smile: "Alright, today I'll let you have your way, Xiao Tauzi. But tomorrow you have to accompany me for a run, to get rid of the greasiness." 0
 
The two of them chatted and laughed all the way to a nearby fast food restaurant. Gu Pan excitedly ordered several items of their favorite food, while Zhou Ziheng casually ordered some light snacks. 0
 
 
While waiting for the meal, I suddenly thought of the whispers I heard at the library today, and curiously asked Zhou Ziheng, "Brother, what do you think those classmates were discussing about the secret plan?" 0
 
Zhou Ziheng casually replied as he tidied up the tableware, "It could be a major event organized by the student union, or a secret party for a certain class. Let's not be too curious about these things." 0
 
 
Gu Pan Pouting: "Hmph, brother, you're so boring. I really want to know." 0
 
As they chatted, the waiter at the fast food restaurant brought their food. Gu Pan eyes lit up and she couldn't wait to start eating. Zhou Ziheng looked at her eating appearance, couldn't help but shake his head gently, but his eyes were full of indulgence. 0
 
 
After dinner, Gu Pan patted his stomach with satisfaction and said with a hint of regret, "Brother, I think I ate too much. I really need to go for a run tomorrow to digest it." 0
 
Zhou Ziheng responded with a smile, "Of course, I will supervise you. But seeing you enjoy your meal so much, I think it's worth it too." 0
 
 
Gu Pan He smirked and pretended to be coquettish: "Brother, are you mocking me?" 0
 
Zhou Ziheng reached out and gently ruffled her hair: "Of course not, Xiao Tauzi. I just feel that being with you is always fun every day." 0
 
 
Two people left the fast food restaurant and strolled in the night, casting long shadows under the streetlights. The gentle night breeze carried away the hustle and bustle of the day, leaving behind warmth and relaxation between the two of them. 0
