“Jiang Biyun, are you an idiot?

It’s clearly specified that it’s a gift for He Zhilan.

Could someone who gives such an expensive gift be a stranger who doesn’t know He Zhilan?

I think He Zhilan doesn’t want to tell you, and you shouldn’t keep naively asking.

This is He Zhilan’s personal matter.

Why are you meddling so much?

Do you understand the concept of privacy?”
Gu En who hadn’t spoken up until then suddenly chimed in.

After finishing her piece, she nonchalantly turned her back to everyone.

Jiang Biyun was left at a loss for words by Gu En’s blunt remarks.

In the end, she just rolled her eyes at Gu En’s retreating figure, then gave He Zhilan a reassuring pat on the shoulder, silently telling her that she believed her.

This incident left He Zhilan feeling uneasy the whole night, unable to comprehend who would give her such a lavish gift.

The library didn’t make He Zhilan wait long for the part-time job.

The next day, they called, asking her to start working there after she finishes her military training.

This news thrilled He Zhilan.

He Zhilan took the call in her dormitory, where everyone but Gu En was present.

Knowing that He Zhilan had finally found part-time work, and that too in such a nice place like the library, Jiang Biyun and Chen Xiting were both happy for her.

“I reckon, given your love for reading, this job in the library is perfect for you!” Jiang Biyun laughed, “You’ll always be dealing with books, you can conveniently read whatever you want, and you can read books whenever the library is empty.

With your love for books, you will never get bored!”
“The key is that the library is clean, the environment is good, it’s hygienic and has air conditioning.

It’s warm in winter and cool in summer.

Unlike working in the school canteen, which is hot and stuffy.

Washing plates, collecting plates, it’s all so tiring!” Chen Xiting paused, then added, “Also, near the water tower first gets the moon!”
“What do you mean by near the water tower first gets the moon?” Jiang Biyun and He Zhilan asked in unison.

“You dummies!

The library has lots of high-quality senior students!” Chen Xiting shot them a ‘you’re idiots’ kind of look.

“High-quality senior students are in the sports field, okay?” Jiang Biyun replied with a disdainful look.

“The library is full of nerds, skinny, vulnerable to the elements, weak scholars, it’s nauseating just looking at them!”
“What do you know~” Chen Xiting quickly retorted, “The ones in the sports field are simply animals with developed limbs and simple brains!

They’re all sweaty, the library is a place filled with the fragrance of books, the people in the library are definitely elegant and sunlit youths!”
Then, Chen Xiting and Jiang Biyun launched into a heated debate on this subject.

They seemed intent on not backing down until they’d put the other in their place.

“Alright, alright, stop arguing.

The sports field has its high-quality seniors like the vibrant youth Tan Heqian, and the library has its high-quality seniors, elegant, and charming.” After listening for a few minutes and worrying about a possible brawl between the two, He Zhilan quickly stepped in to play the peacemaker.

“Well said!

Let’s go, to celebrate your getting this job, I’m going to treat you to some barbecued skewers!” Jiang Biyun laughed, made a ‘cut it out’ gesture to indicate she was done debating with Chen Xiting, then, arm in arm with He Zhilan, headed out.
