The Cliff of Eternal Sun

Chapter 8 Remembrance

In Ji Suian's memory, there have been many such scenes.

There are many sycamore trees planted on the campus of T University, the ones outside the library are especially lush and tall, stretching all the way to the window of the reading room on the fourth floor. At that time, Wei Mu often waited for him under those sycamore trees. The century-old tree is thin and thin, but the shadow is drawn very long by the street lamp next to it.At that time, the lights were also a mass of orange and yellow, as if the sunset glow was scattered and mixed into the night, it only felt gentle, not desolate and lonely.

And if he had to go back, the first time he noticed Wei Mu was also related to the sycamore trees outside the library.

Ji Suian had already completed some pre-university courses in high school, so the first two years of university were relatively easy. Apart from attending classes and doing experiments, he spent most of his time in the library, most often going to the reading room on the fourth floor A seat next to the window in the last row.

At that time, it was almost late autumn, and the leaves of the sycamore trees were golden yellow. Every morning, a large pile would fall on the ground. From time to time, some students would squat down to pick the most beautiful leaves.And the sunshine that afternoon was too good, the golden sycamore leaves were extremely eye-catching under the light, and a few birds kept chirping on the tree. Ji Suian was always concentrating on reading, but that day's attention was briefly blocked by the autumn light. Drag it out of the window.

Just as he retracted his gaze, his eyes glanced inadvertently, and happened to bump into a boy a few rows away.But in a very short moment, Ji Suian's sight should have been swept away, but the boy suddenly looked away as if he had been greatly frightened, and subconsciously moved back.

Behind him happened to be a girl who had just returned from receiving water. She was taken aback by his sudden movement, she lost her hand, and all the water in the cup spilled on the boy's back.

Fortunately, it wasn't hot water, but it was enough to embarrass people. He stood up in a panic, said sorry to the girl, and hurriedly wiped the water splashed on the tables and chairs. After apologizing, he trotted to the bathroom and took a mop out to mop up the water on the floor.

Ji Suian thought a little strangely, as if he caused this little accident, although he did nothing.Just when he was thinking this way, the boy glanced at him quickly again, seeing that Ji Suian was looking at him, he quickly lowered his head, and never raised it again, the sun shone on his red ears until He packed up his things and left, and the redness didn't fade away.

The reading room was quiet again, with only the slight sound of flipping books around. Ji Suian looked down at a few lines of text, and suddenly thought, the boy had been busy for so long just now, and even helped the girl get a glass of water at the end, but he never He didn't bother to wipe his own soaked clothes.

Perhaps it was the pair of eyes that met each other in the small sprinkler accident that made Ji Suian a little worried, especially the boy's flustered performance at the time seemed to be a little guilty. I paid attention to the boy.He basically comes to this reading room every day when there is no class, and he is in the same position every time. He looks very focused when he is buried in the book, and he basically doesn't do any idle movements or talk to the people around him. It was incredibly quiet.

Except, occasionally peeking at him.

Ji Suian has received a lot of attention since he was a child, and he has long been accustomed to the external sight, so he doesn't pay too much attention to it, but if he pays attention, he will also be keenly aware of the unusualness in those sights.

So, when the boy raised his head to look at him again, Ji Suian didn't dodge, and directly met his gaze. Sure enough, the person opposite was startled, blood came to his ears, and he quickly lowered his head. Never dared to lift it up again.

Ji Suian roughly guessed what the man was thinking, and felt a little bored.

At that time, he had never been in love, and because of Shu Xi and Ji Yan's bad marriage, he felt that it was the most stupid and unnecessary thing in the world.

Ji Suian didn't pay that boy any more attention, and the little interest in him caused by the watering incident that day gradually dissipated.Until a few days later, when he walked into the library in the morning, he saw the boy standing in front of the information desk in the lobby talking to the librarian, looking a little embarrassed, holding his schoolbag, his face slightly flushed , waved his hands again and again, and then went to the stairwell as if fleeing.

When Ji Suian walked over, he heard the conversation between the two administrators.One of the younger ones said to the other: "This is the first time I have encountered a student delivering books to the library since I came here. I should write down his name." The other said, "He doesn't want that. There is no other way," while neatly labeling the books and putting them into storage.

Ji Suian glanced at the book in her hand, and couldn't help being startled. It was the book he had consulted with the administrator two days ago, and the answer he got was that the book had just been published in China, and the library Not purchased yet.There is often a delay in the library, and Ji Suian just asked by the way, and after confirming that there is no one, he went back and bought the entire series by himself. After hearing about it, Shu Xi helped him buy an original English version abroad, and it is still on the way.

Ji Suian didn't look at the book that was newly placed on the library shelf until two days later, the boy walked towards him with the book in hand.

He looked very nervous, his eyes didn't know where to look, he just stared at his own hand, his clean voice was tense, and he stammered: "Student, classmate, I seem to have heard you looking for this book before. Book, I saw it on the bookshelf over there just now, I wonder if you still use it?"

After he finished speaking, he finally raised his eyes to look at Ji Suian, his pursed lips were slightly white, but the tips of his originally fair ears were red.The sunlight came in from the window, covering his upper body in the light, and every little nervous detail on his face clearly fell into Ji Suian's eyes.

Ji Suian looked at him for two seconds, before he looked like he was about to turn around and run away, he reached out to take the book and said, "Thank you." He smiled and said, "You're welcome."

Their conversation was very short, and it ended here. The man turned around, straightened his shoulders, and walked back together.

Ji Suian looked away from his back and landed on the book in his hand. He casually flipped through two pages, and suddenly looked at the dancing sunlight at the corner of the page and smiled slightly.

He recalled how nervous the man was stuttering just now, thinking, how could he behave like that?
