These categories weren't anything special, and Xu Fan didn't pay much attention to them.
Each section has three or four rows of bookshelves, and each row of bookshelves is further divided into categories and numbered. This is the proper configuration for a library, and it seems that every library is like this.
He walked forward, passing by row after row of bookshelves, when suddenly his gaze fell on a section of books on the shelf next to him that had no covers, which aroused his curiosity.
I walked over instinctively and looked through it.
The books without covers had similar contents, mostly about film shooting techniques and methods. Shaking his head, Xu Fan thought he was probably overthinking things and being curious about everything.
Seeing that no one was on the second floor, Xu Fan went up the stairs to the third floor.
If Chen Yuanyuan hadn't come out, she must be inside the library. He tried calling her name twice more, but there was still no response.
On the third floor, there were still rows of bookshelves.
Xu Fan finally heard the sound of pages turning, and his steps quickened unconsciously as he climbed the stairs.

===Chapter 347 Reunion with Chen Yuanyuan===
Crunch!
As the sound of the door opening rang out, Xu Fan's steps as he ascended to the third floor slowed slightly, because the sound came from the first floor below.
He looked up from the second-floor railing and saw a middle-aged man walking into the library. He was wearing a black suit and had a name tag pinned to his chest. Xu Fan couldn't make out the words on the tag, but he could clearly see the man's movements.
After the middle-aged man walked in, he casually picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
Xu Fan could clearly hear the sound of turning pages on the third floor, but he hesitated when he looked at the middle-aged man.
Just as he hesitated, the middle-aged man put down his teacup, looked up at Xu Fan, and said, "Come down!"
After a moment's thought, Xu Fan abandoned his plan to continue to the third floor and went back down the stairs.
There was a young girl sitting in front of a computer at the bar. The game character on the computer was already fighting the poison gas and moving into the safe zone, and she was carrying a 98k rifle on her back.
The key point is when the girl returned and when she went back to the bar. The girl saw a young, handsome man coming down from the second floor, and instinctively pressed the C key, causing her game character to instinctively lie down on the ground.
The young girl stood up and said gently and softly, "Sir, are you here to read a book?"
Xu Fan shook his head and said, "I want to find someone."
The little girl looked at Xu Fan with puzzled eyes and said, "Very few people have been coming to the library recently. Who are you looking for? Let me help you find out."
Xu Fan nodded, and the little girl, with a helpless expression, minimized the game.
Xu Fan couldn't bear to disappoint the girl, but finding Chen Yuanyuan was what he needed to do. So when he saw the girl open her library reading log, Xu Fan said, "You've been here for a few days now and haven't gone out yet."
The little girl nodded and said, "Okay, what's your friend's name?"
"Chen Yuanyuan".
These three words were not spoken by Xu Fan, but by a middle-aged man walking over from a short distance away.
After saying those three words, he turned to the little girl and said, "You play, I'll do it."
As he spoke, he turned on another computer next to him. The little girl happily said thank you and switched back to the game. Her character in the game was low on health, so she quickly pressed the medicine button, easily swallowed a bottle of painkiller, and then continued running.
Xu Fan ignored all of that and looked at the middle-aged man curiously, asking, "How do you know my friend's name?"
The middle-aged man refreshed the computer screen as he said, "I thought you'd be curious why there was no one here when you came in."
Xu Fan was taken aback, but still said, "I am indeed very curious."
The middle-aged man laughed heartily, while the young girl next to him, playing a game, said, "I just went to the toilet."
Xu Fan glanced at the little girl curiously. The little girl picked up the 98k and the enemy was instantly killed by a headshot.
I just arrived, and you just went to the restroom.
The key question is whether the middle-aged man also happened to be going out at the same time.
The middle-aged man's reply was: "Would you believe me if I went out?"
Xu Fan didn't want to get too involved in this issue, so he asked directly, "I'd rather know how you know my friend."
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Because in the Cobino Library, only one person has come in the past ten days, and they haven't left. That person's name is Chen Yuanyuan!"
Xu Fan was taken aback, but was overjoyed. This sentence meant that Chen Yuanyuan was indeed here.
He quickly asked, "You mean my friend is at the library? Where is she now?"
The middle-aged man said, "The sound of turning pages you just heard, wasn't that her?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Fan finally felt relieved and said excitedly, "Thank you."
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to go up the stairs. No matter what, he could only make a final determination by seeing it in person.
However, just as he turned around, the middle-aged man's voice came from behind him.
"I advise you, sir, not to go upstairs at this time."
Xu Fan frowned, not understanding the meaning of those words, and turned to look at the middle-aged man, asking, "What does this mean?"
The young girl playing the game was quite skilled; she managed a double kill with a single grenade in the building area. As if she had heard Xu Fan's question, before the middle-aged man could answer, she turned to Xu Fan and said, "Because she's busy right now."
Xu Fan shook his head and said, "I'm her friend."
The little girl nodded and said, "I know."
The middle-aged man said, "You can go up, but leave your phone behind."
Xu Fan looked at the middle-aged man with a puzzled expression, frowning as he asked, "Leave your phone?"
The middle-aged man said, "Yes, that's the rule of the Corbino Library."
The middle-aged man didn't reach out to ask for it. Instead, he glanced at a small box not far from the bar. The box wasn't big, and a cell phone was quietly placed there.
Xu Fan glanced at him, and the middle-aged man said, "That's right, it's your friend's."
Xu Fan asked, "Why is there such a rule?"
The middle-aged man seemed a little irritated, shook his head, and didn't explain the question. The young girl clapped her hands excitedly, seemingly because she had won a game, her face beaming. She turned to Xu Fan and said, "Because libraries are for reading books."
Xu Fan asked, "Do I need a contact person?"
The middle-aged man looked up impatiently and said, "There are many libraries in Gran City, why come to my Corbino Library?"
Xu Fan found this very reasonable and was also filled with curiosity. What was so different about this place that would attract so many people to read it?
Well, in essence, this place is sparsely populated, almost deserted.
Perhaps this is why most people don't come here.
Xu Fan took out his phone, put it back in, and stepped upstairs to check on Chen Yuanyuan.
Just then, the middle-aged man did something on the computer, and then picked up a card and placed it on the scanner next to the computer.
With a "ding," the middle-aged man took the card off and said, "Take it."
After saying that, he put the card on the bar and turned to walk towards the library lobby, presumably intending to continue drinking tea.
Xu Fan wanted to ask, "What is this?"
But in the end, he didn't say anything, turned around, picked up the card, and went upstairs.
The little girl's game had restarted. She glanced at the screen, then looked at Xu Fan's back and said, "She's on the third floor, don't go to the wrong place."
Xu Fan nodded and walked up to the second floor.
He frowned slightly. Through the second-floor railing, where had that middle-aged man in the lobby gone?
He instinctively felt something was wrong. He took a few steps downstairs and found that the game at the bar had started parachuting, but where had the little girl gone?
A peculiar atmosphere made Xu Fan frown, but the card in his hand proved that there really was someone downstairs just now.
He didn't think that seeing a ghost in broad daylight would happen, but he was a little curious. Could it be that the two of them went to the toilet again?
He shook his head and walked towards the third floor.
The stairs from the second to the third floor also had a turn. When he was halfway up, Xu Fan heard the sound of turning pages again.
Following the sound, Xu Fan arrived at the third floor. In addition to rows and rows of bookshelves, the third floor also had several elegant seats specifically for reading.
But the private room was empty. It seemed the middle-aged man was right; collecting cell phones was the rule, but with this rule in place, fewer people came to read.
However, upon closer reflection, it does seem to make some sense.
Libraries are places to read books, but 80% of people simply enjoy the quiet atmosphere of a library. Even in such a peaceful setting, they are still drawn to the myriad of apps on their phones.
Xu Fan followed the sound and walked along the bookshelf to the end.
There was a glass room there, and inside, a figure was looking down and reading a book.
There were several thick stacks of books next to her. When Xu Fan saw this figure from behind, he breathed a sigh of relief and was completely at ease, because who else could that figure be but Chen Yuanyuan?
The sound of turning pages could be heard from time to time. Now that he had found it, Xu Fan did not disturb him directly.
Instead, he stood outside the glass room, looking at Chen Yuanyuan.
Chen Yuanyuan was reading intently with her back to me, but why was she here to read, and why did she choose to put her phone down?
Most importantly, you've been reading here for several days, aren't you going to go out?
With these thoughts in mind, Xu Fan prepared to push open the door and enter.
But just then, whether it was the flickering shadow on the glass that Chen Yuanyuan saw, or for some other reason...
Anyway, Chen Yuanyuan suddenly turned around and looked at him.
Both of them were taken aback.
Xu Fan was surprised when Chen Yuanyuan suddenly turned around.
Chen Yuanyuan was surprised that Xu Fan would suddenly appear behind her.
Their eyes met, and Xu Fan smiled awkwardly and pointed to the door.
Chen Yuanyuan nodded, stood up, and Xu Fan pushed open the door and went in.
Chen Yuanyuan looked at Xu Fan and asked curiously in a low voice, "Why are you here?"
Xu Fan said, "Grandpa Zheng can't find you. He asked me to look for you, but I've been looking for a long time without any news of you. You're not answering your phone either. I was worried..."
Xu Fan couldn't help but smile and said, "It's good that you're alright."
Chen Yuanyuan felt a little embarrassed, shook her head and said, "Thank you."
