29 Chapter 29: You Must Be Sick! (1/2)
”Un?”
Shen Bi Ru, who is the Compendium Pavilion as well, hears the continuous sounds of footsteps and flipping of books. Initially, she didn't think much into but as time passed, she started to feel that something is amiss with the situation.
One would need to read a book slowly to comprehend its contents. How can it be possible for anyone to flip through it so quickly?
Bewildered, she couldn't resist walking over to take a look.
After which, she sees Zhang Xuan flipping the books from the first shelf. It is very apparent to see that he isn't reading through the contents of the books, but more like looking for something!
”Is this the reason why Elder Mo denied him entry?”
After watching for a moment, she realizes that the other party doesn't have the intention to stop. Gedeng, Shen Bi Ru's heart beats.
Previously, the reason why she couldn't resist speaking out to help him upon seeing the difference between the current him and his previous self is because she wants him to work hard so as to be freed from his current awkward position.
However, she would have never imagined that this fellow isn't here to study but to look for something!
This is the Compendium Pavilion. Every day, there are innumerable teachers who come in, so it is impossible for there to be anything valuable hidden here. Flipping through these books so casually is almost a blasphemy to this Compendium Pavilion.
How repulsive!
”Perhaps... He knew that I would be coming to the Compendium Pavilion today, so he intentionally waited outside then came in to make such a ruckus to capture my attention... Hmph, this would only provoke my ire!”
The image of the young man in Shen Bi Ru's heart falls to the pits.
Due to her beauty, many people have tried many ways to get on her good side, as well as to attract her attention. In her opinion, Zhang Xuan isn't even trying to look through the books. Rather, he is intentionally making those noises to change her opinion of him.
In reality, she hates it when people make up this kind of show.
After looking at her a moment longer, she ascertains her opinion.
If he is truly here to browse through the books, how could he possibly be reading books of all genres? Furthermore, to be flipping through them at such rapid speed, he is probably unable to even ascertain the name of the manual, needless to say, its contents.
”Hmph!”
With a darkened expression on her beautiful face, she walks over to Zhang Xuan, ”Zhang laoshi, what are you doing?”
”Reading books!”
Zhang Xuan doesn't realize that his actions have already been labeled as 'putting up a show' and replies casually without raising his head.
”Reading books? Hmph!” Shen Bi Ru harrumphs coldly. Coldness emanates from her jade-like face as she says, ”If you think that your actions are cool and would attract my attention, please retract those immature thoughts of yours. I, Shen Bi Ru, do not fall for such petty tricks. Furthermore, your actions will only incur my irritation!”
”Oh! Alright!”
Zhang Xuan continues flipping through his books.
He intends to imprint all of the manuals in the Compendium Pavilion onto the Library of Heaven's Path by today and time is a little tight for him, so he doesn't have the effort to spare to be chatting with others.
Besides, in his opinion, the other party is simply being too 'self-important'. What does business does she have to do with what he is doing?
You might be truly pretty, but it isn't like I have yet to meet a beautiful woman like you. In the previous world, in the era of information, there are all kinds of beauties stored in the hard disk. Furthermore, they are skilled in blowing, pulling, playing and singing... A cold beauty like you does not hold much interest to me!
I don't have the energy to think of ways to attract your attention.
”Since you understand it, please leave this Compendium Library. Stop wasting your effort here!” Seeing how the young man's head remains lowered, still putting on a show, Shen Bi Ru turns and gestures him to leave.
Deng deng deng deng!
The sound of the footsteps of the young man leaving.
”This is more like it...”
Seeing how he gives up readily, Shen Bi Ru nods her head in satisfaction. Just as she is about to continue to read her book, she hears the sound of the flipping of books echoing in the library once again.
Hualala! Hualalala!
Turning her head to take a look, she realizes that the young man had no intention to leave.
”You...”
Shen Bi Ru almost explodes from anger.
Are you done yet?
I have already said that doing this will just incur my irritation, yet you still persist in doing so. Is there a point to it?
At this point, her slim figure straightens and she walks up to Zhang Xuan once again, and disgust could be clearly seen in her pitch black pupils, ”Did you not hear my words? The more you behave like this, the more disgusted I would be with you! You won't earn my fancy like this!”
”Are you sick?”
Seeing the other party coming over to bother him again, Zhang Xuan is a little irritated. He stops in his actions and says, ”You read your own stuff while I'll read my own. If you are really bored, you can squat by a corner and draw circles. Don't bother me here!”
It is not like I have never met a beautiful lady in my life before, why are you acting so haughtily!
”You...”
She didn't expect the young man to speak like this. Shen Bi Ru feels her sight blurring and she almost dies from the overwhelming rage welling in her.
Who is she?
Hongtian Academy's number 1 beauty. Blessed with great talent and looks, almost all of the teachers and students in the academy regard her as a goddess. Before her, they would act respectfully, not daring to even speak loudly for fear of offending her.
