We ordinary people also need to fall in love.

Ring ring—ring ring…

In order to register for classes at 9:00 AM on Saturday, Li Mubai set an alarm for 8:55 AM.

He logged into the smart campus system and waited for it to refresh at nine o'clock.

As the clock struck zero, Li Mubai's heart tightened. He quickly clicked the course selection button, and the page refreshed.

Page is loading...

Have you enrolled in the calligraphy class?

Too many people are viewing this page right now, please try again later…

Li Mubai was ejected from the system. Can't the school fix this broken system?

Solitudo: "Did you manage to book a calligraphy class?"

Li Bubai: "No, the system is still under maintenance."

Solitudo: "Me too."

Li Mubai kept trying to refresh the webpage, and it finally returned to normal after five minutes. He hurriedly informed Xie Shu of the news.

Li Bubai: "The webpage is back up."

Solitudo: "Okay, hurry up and choose."

He logged back in, went to the course selection page, and clicked on the course selection after the calligraphy class.

Sorry, the course is currently full.

Wow, that fast?

Li Mubai quickly switched to the traditional Chinese painting class following the calligraphy class.

You have successfully selected your course.

Li Bubai: "Class monitor, I didn't get a spot in the calligraphy class, so I chose traditional Chinese painting instead."

Solitudo: "Hmm."

Solitudo: "I didn't manage to get one either, so I chose a traditional Chinese painting."

That's quite a coincidence, or rather, someone else's hand speed was just too fast.

Li Bubai: "By the way, class monitor, do we need to bring our own painting tools for traditional Chinese painting class?"

Solitudo: "No need, there will be some in the classrooms."

Li Bubai: "Okay."

I wonder what Chen Qiuhe's reaction will be when she finds out they chose traditional Chinese painting class.

Ding dong.

Qinghe: "Did you manage to register for the class?"

Li Bubai: "I've already made my choice."

Qinghe: "Tsk tsk, keep it up!"

Since New Year's Day, Chen Qiuhe has rarely joked with him and Xie Shu, and Li Mubai still doesn't like people stirring things up.

On Sunday, Li Mubai made up an excuse that he needed to go to school early, so he didn't ask his father to drive him home. Instead, he went home alone and took the opportunity to visit a bookstore along the way.

"Sister Shen," he called out from the shop entrance.

"Ha, the missing person has returned. What are you going to buy today?" Shen Nian'an was still the same as always, brewing tea and reading a book.

"Let's just take a look around." Li Mubai automatically ignored the previous sentence.

He hadn't been here for a long time. He decided to come and visit after finishing the book he was reading. I remember the last time he came was the last time.

Walking into the bookshelf, Li Mubai casually picked out a few books, glanced at them, and then put them back.

"Sister." A clear female voice suddenly came from the shop entrance.

A guest? Or Sister Shen's sister? This was the first thought that popped into Li Mubai's head.

Actually, he never knew Sister Shen's real name; the other party only told him to call her Sister Shen.

Li Mubai thought about it for a moment and then stopped worrying about it, continuing to search for the books he wanted.

He pulled out a relatively new book from his old books—"Three Hundred Tang Poems." Most books are quite thick, but this one was almost as thin as a notebook.

He glanced through it; it was a traditional Chinese version, without lengthy annotations, and the content was fairly clean.

Stepping out of the bookshelf, what came into view was a girl in a school uniform sitting next to Shen Nian'an, chatting with her.

"Brother, come quick!" Shen Nian'an called out.

Li Mubai walked over unhurriedly. He glanced at the girl and the school badge on her school uniform—Pingyang No. 3 Middle School.

The other person glanced at him, then looked away.

"Hey bro, let me introduce you. This is my sister, Shen Nianning. You two should both be in your second year of high school."

Shen Nian'an then looked at Shen Nianning and said:

"Hey sis, this is a student who comes to my shop often, his name is... uh, bro, you introduce him yourself."

Not only did he not know Shen Nian'an's name, but the other party also did not know his name.

"Hello, my name is Li Mubai." Li Mubai nodded to the girl.

"Hello," Shen Nianning replied, her tone indifferent.

"Li Mubai is such a good name! No wonder you love literature and history so much. You must be Li Bai reincarnated." Shen Nian'an clapped her hands, suddenly realizing.

……

Forget it, the name Li Mubai has been misunderstood too many times. He no longer cares and won't waste his breath explaining it.

Shen Nianning, the younger sister, sighed and rubbed her forehead. Her older sister's whimsical personality was still the same as ever. But aren't people who are good at humanities able to think divergently? If their thinking is rigid, they probably won't be able to do good research.

Li Mubai was about to leave after paying the bill; he didn't want to be a third wheel since his sisters were having a get-together.

"Eight yuan," Shen Nian'an said, glancing at the book.

So cheap?!

Li Mubai took out ten yuan from his wallet and gave it to her.

"Wow, so classy, ​​it even has... the Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion printed on it?" Shen Nian'an teased.

Li Mubai ordered this wallet online during winter break. Before, when he put loose change in his pocket, it would get all crumpled when he took it out, so he bought a wallet that could also hold his meal card, water card, and other things.

Li Mubai chuckled a few times, then said:

"Well, Sister Shen, I'll be going now."

"Alright, alright, I won't see you off." Shen Nian'an waved.

It's as if I gave it to him before.

"Sis, I'm going back to school too." After Li Mubai left, Shen Nianning was about to leave as well.

"Don't rush, let's chat some more, you and I."

"No, I'm not like you, with nothing to do all day, just lying around all day after opening a bookstore," Shen Nianning said, waving her hand.

"How can you say that? I call it 'worldly affairs are fleeting and not worth asking about, better to lie down and have a good meal.' My dear sister, you are like the sun at eight or nine in the morning, while I am like the moon at eight or nine in the evening."

laugh……

Shen Nianning chuckled, then waved her hand, leaving her back to him, and said:

"I'm leaving now, goodbye, sister."

"Sigh, this girl is really something. I was going to give you a workbook to take back to school to do."

Shen Nian'an returned to her seat, leisurely brewing tea and reading a book.

Pingyang No. 3 Middle School is also located in the suburbs and is not accessible by subway. Shen Nianning arrived at the bus stop with her schoolbag and saw the boy she had just met.

"Li Mu Bai?"

The other person turned around and looked at her, and was also taken aback, as if they hadn't expected her to greet them.

"Hello, what can I do for you?" He didn't call her by her name, which made it seem a bit distant, and that was to be expected.

"Are you from No. 6 Middle School?" Shen Nianning asked.

"Yes."

Li Mubai nodded, not hiding anything, since the school badge on his school uniform had already given away the fact.

"Oh, I'm from No. 3 Middle School. Last semester, we took the joint final exam with No. 6 Middle School."

"Are you also a liberal arts student?" Li Mubai asked.

"Yes, you probably are too, right? My sister just told me."

"Um."

Which bus are you taking? I'm taking the 256.

Li Mubai felt a strange sense of relief and pleasure. Having to chat with unfamiliar people while traveling together would have been torture for him.

"76".

Shen Nianning seemed much more relaxed after hearing the answer.

"Route 76 is here." She pointed to the swaying bus approaching from a distance.

"Your eyesight is really good," Li Mubai thought to himself, "I can only see a bus slowly approaching..."

"Route 256 has arrived," Li Mubai said.

"Oh, I misread it."

Shen Nianning quickly got into the car, sat down by the window, rolled down the window, and suddenly said to Li Mubai outside the car:

"Li Mubai, Xie Shu from your No. 6 Middle School is pretty impressive. Goodbye."

The bus started moving, and the No. 256 bus gradually disappeared at the end of the road.

Xie Shu? Shen Nianning?

Li Mubai suddenly remembered that the person ranked ahead of Xie Shu in the final exam was named Shen Nianning.

Well, he doesn't care about anything else, he only cares about how many points the person ahead of him has, and some familiar people.

I remember that Xie Shu and Shen Nianning were only one point apart at the time.
