Crane nine sat by the window, his right hand holding his cheek. The French window is in front of her, and cabbage butterflies are flying around the window, as if they want to come in and enjoy the cool. The angle of the light is inclined, as if it were falling. A flock of sparrows suddenly flew under the window, leaving no trace under the light blue sky. "Alas, summer." Crane nine sighed in a low voice and turned the page back.
The librarian pushed the car past and the wheels rumbled. He Jiu looked up at the librarian who was walking forward and watched her turn into one or two bookshelves. She put down the book in her hand and crept over.
Jane Shi Qi is restoring a book to its original position. She tiptoed and pushed the book in carefully.
"Poof", Crane Nine smiled calmly. She stared at Jane and looked at her.
"What are you doing?" She heard Qiqi ask her in an angry voice. She walked up to her and said, "Come and help, and I'll help you put Gao Ben back."
"I can reach it." Jane's cheeks are a little red.
"Hey, I just want to help you put the book away quickly. You see, you have been busy all morning, and my ass is numb. By the way, exercise. " He Jiu said while doing stretching exercises.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I thought there would be fewer books returned these days, so I asked you to accompany me. I didn't expect so much. You've been waiting for a long time. I'll be ready soon. " Jane turned to push the car and walked quickly forward.
He Jiu ran lightly to the trolley and took out some books. "I asked you to help you."
"Keep your voice down, I'm disturbing others to read. "
"Ok, I see." He Jiu smiled and said helplessly, "It will be ready soon!" Say that finish, disappeared. Jane stared at the two books on the cart, sighed, shook her head and walked on with a smile.
Jane put the cart back, said goodbye to the staff on duty and went out of the reading room. She saw sitting on the stairs playing with her mobile phone, so she walked up to her.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, aunt." Crane nine looked up and smiled at her "no, no"
"Thank you."
"Little things." Crane nine stood up and patted his ass. "
So what are you going to do now? "Asked Jane pick up pure.
"I don't know, it's too much weather, Qiqi. Do you want to go somewhere to play?" Crane nine stand stand hand.
Jane looked out of the library, and the sun embraced the bare earth with all its enthusiasm without reservation. Crane nine looked out along her eyes and gave her another look.
"Why don't we just stay here?"
"Why don't we just stay here?"
They also said. He Jiu smiled. "That I take a book, let's go outside to see. We can't talk in the reading room. " "Ok, but remember to return it in the end."
"Well, dear manager." Crane nine helped and got into rows of bookshelves. Jane watched her run in, smiled again, sat on the steps where she had just sat, and looked at the neat rows of bookshelves with her chin cupped.
After a while, Hejiu came out with a book. She sat down next to Jane. "What books do you have?" "Dangdang!" Sandbox library "! I think we can read a more suitable book together. "He Jiu ostentatiously waving books. "I have always liked Otsuichi's books. No matter what style, I feel that I have entered another world every time. " Jane smiled at her and asked, "What's the style of Otsuichi this time? It won't be dark. " "nonono, this time it's white Otsuichi, a collection of short stories, warm and healing." Crane nine hey hey smiled and spread the book on his leg.
"Tell the first story first."
"Hey, Qi, I think you are just like the tide in the mountains in the book." After reading half the story, He Jiu touched Jane with his arm.
"Where there is!"
"It's all bookish! You see, didn't Yin Chao finally become a librarian? " "But I'm not as crazy about books as she is. I always hold the pages when I roll down the stairs. "
"Ha ha, but also about the same. You just often forget the time. You should get used to this kind of thing. " "No, you really are." Jane picked Qi up, smiled, and replied to He Jiu with her elbow.
"Seven, haven't you ever thought about writing a novel? You like literature so much and write so well. "
"Just because I like literature doesn't necessarily mean that I will create it myself. The focus of my life is not all literature. But maybe, as you said, I will try one day, and maybe what the people in the book just said will happen: the self in the work will let me know what I should do and whether it is necessary. " Jane raised her head and looked out of the window. The sun sank to rest behind the hill.
"What else is the ideal ending, right?"
"yes." Jane picked up Qi and looked back. She smiled when she saw the crane looking at her with its head tilted.
"So is there anything you always wanted to do but didn't do? You need to rely on the characters in the story to give yourself courage one day. "
"Maybe." Jane looked up at her shoes, her toes burning each other.
"What is what? Tell me. Maybe I can help you now. " Crane nine took Jane's arm and staggered. "Don't." Jane refused without hesitation, and her voice was a little stiff. But subconsciously, she softened her tone: "If I need your help, I will come back to you and you will help me, won't you, A Jiu?" "Of course, anytime! But say yes, when your novel is finished, I will be your first reader! "
"OK, I'll show it to you as soon as possible, OK?" Jane picked up Qi, smiled helplessly and looked at He Jiu.
"Shall we continue reading?"
"ok!" Crane nine leaned close to Jane, and she opened the book on their intimate lap. Open a new story. "Dear readers, please be very kind. This story is called fairyland. "
They smiled at each other. The air conditioner overhead makes a cool hum,
Summer afternoons should be like this, shouldn't they?
