312 The librarian (1/2)

In the morning, Ren Xiaosu was doing some reading in the library. Meanwhile, An Yuqian was snoring loudly as he slept in his chair at the entrance.

When the sun shone onto An Yuqian's face from the outside, he would even cover his face with a book to shield himself from the light.

Every morning, when Ren Xiaosu arrived, he would automatically give ten yuan to An Yuqian. Moreover, there was no need for Ren Xiaosu to keep calling An Yuqian anymore as he would be waiting at the door every day at 8.30 AM sharp while yawning.

Gradually, An Yuqian found it extremely uncomfortable that he had to always sleep like that. He used to always play mahjong throughout the night before heading home to sleep well during the morning. But since Ren Xiaosu started coming to the library, he could only sleep while sitting in his chair at the library.

How could sleeping in a chair be more comfortable than sleeping in a bed?

As no one else was using the library, An Yuqian purposely observed what Ren Xiaosu was reading. However, he died laughing when he saw that Ren Xiaosu was actually reading the tenth grade textbooks for math, physics, and chemistry!

Ren Xiaosu's persistence in coming to the library for so many days finally made An Yuqian change his opinion of him. He had thought that for once, a studious kid had finally come to the library. But to his surprise, this studious kid could only read tenth grade textbooks.

Judging by Ren Xiaosu's age, shouldn't he be in 12th grade at the least? So it turned out he was just a weak student who was starting to study from scratch?

An Yuqian counted on his fingers and realized the college entrance exams were only three months away. How could he make it in time if he was still only studying the tenth grade curriculum?

Even though An Yuqian was pacing around him, Ren Xiaosu did not bother looking at him.

An Yuqian could not help saying, \”Isn't it a little too late to study now? The college entrance exams are only three months away!\”

Ren Xiaosu looked up at him. \”I'm not sitting for the entrance exams.\”

\”You're not sitting for the entrance exams? Then why are you studying tenth grade math, physics, and chemistry?\” An Yuqian asked in surprise. \”Shouldn't you start working at a factory after you graduate from high school? What's the point of learning all this stuff?\”

\”Knowledge will always be useful, and whatever I learn belongs to me,\” Ren Xiaosu said calmly.

An Yuqian shrugged and turned around. \”Just don't forget to pay for my breakfast every morning. If not for you, I wouldn't need to eat breakfast. This expenditure is incurred only because of you.\”

\”OK,\” Ren Xiaosu said.

However, An Yuqian suddenly realized that other than Ren Xiaosu, there was another group of students who came to study in the afternoon. There were over 20 male and female students, and they had been sitting in the library all afternoon for several days in a row.

Even though there were also others who came to study in the afternoon, it would not be so frequent and scheduled. Furthermore, their numbers were always the same. This group of students… actually sat next to Ren Xiaosu in an organized and disciplined manner.

After waking up in the afternoon, An Yuqian got closer to have a look and realized Wang Yuchi and the others were reading books related to mechanical engineering. This topic exceeded the syllabus of high school.

When the library was about to close, Wang Yuchi suddenly said to Ren Xiaosu, \”Monitor, should we go home now since it's closing time?\”

An Yuqian was stunned. The young man who paid for his breakfast every day was actually the class monitor of this group of students? These normal students were learning knowledge beyond their years while the monitor was still studying tenth grade textbooks? What sort of nonsensical crap was this.

Ren Xiaosu took a look at the sky and said, \”Y'all can head back first. I wanna read a little while longer.\”

\”Hey!\” An Yuqian could not sit still anymore. \”Dontcha know it's time for me to leave too?!\”

\”I'll give you 50 yuan,\” Ren Xiaosu said without even raising his head.

An Yuqian said unhappily, \”That won't do. I have to leave now to play mahjong. Who knows if I'll recover my losses tonight!\”

Ren Xiaosu quietly put the book back onto the bookshelf before turning to leave.

The first thing Ren Xiaosu said when he saw An Yuqian the next morning was, \”So did you recover your losses?\”

\”Kid, why are you so annoying?\” An Yuqian was upset. \”Should you even be asking something like that?\”

\”Then you must have lost.\” Ren Xiaosu slapped a ten-yuan bill into An Yuqian's hand. \”Go on, get your breakfast.\”
