Somewhere only we know / Exclusive Memory

Chapter 2

It always rains in city A in November.

I took the book and walked out of the dormitory building. After walking a few steps, I found that the rain was much more than I thought. Even after a few trots, I went to shelter under the eucalyptus trees outside the girls' courtyard. When I was wondering if I was going back home, an umbrella was propped on my head.

I looked back and saw Liu Qi.

"It's a coincidence." I said

"Yeah, I just passed by."

I smiled sloppyly with him.

"I go to the library to study by myself."

"Me too." He raised the book in Yang's hand.

"Do you look *CET-6?"

"Yeah, job hunting is very competitive now. I will try it last next year. I can ask you by the way."

My head hangs down, still feeling his scorching gaze. He certainly didn't just pass by, nor did he try hard to think about level six. Maybe he's been waiting for me here, maybe Bai Lin told the news.

I think of what Bai Lin said: give him a chance, that is, give myself a chance.

I moved my steps, then turned my gaze to the distance, pretending to say inadvertently: "Okay, but please ask me to be a tutor. I have to charge for the hour."

He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became happy.

"We are so familiar, can we get a discount?" he asked.

"No. And it's more expensive than tutoring high school students."

"why?"

"Because you are a college student. Didn't you see that college teachers are paid more than high school teachers?"

"Is there? I think the income is about the same."

"You're not sincere. If you've been so chirping, I'll introduce another teacher who is willing to discount." I said viciously.

"..." This trick was very effective, and he fell silent immediately.

We just walked on the boulevard to the library. Liu Qi held an umbrella for me, and then walked through the sidewalk beside the administration building. I have always felt that this place is very similar to the road downstairs of the Sijiao in the West District, probably because there are plane trees.

I glanced back.

Liu Qi asked: "Are there any acquaintances?"

In the twilight, I answered no, but my eyes remained fixed for several seconds before moving away.

I seem to see another myself in that place, and Mu Chenghe next to him.

The girl squatted on the ground looking for contact lenses for him, and he stood there holding an umbrella for her, covering the falling snow. Finally, he said to the girl: "You are really a child."

Such a scene seems like a world away.

Gradually, it became natural for two people to go to study together and go to the library together.
