On the 14th day of the first month, the sky was clear and there was a refreshing breeze.

Early in the morning, a voice coming from the ground floor balcony woke Mu Chenghe up. It was the aunt who worked as a babysitter in Professor Wang's house, she had a rather robust body and a voice capable of breaking glass. Originally, Mu Chenghe was hard of hearing, but he is a light sleeper, and the aunt's voice on the phone was loud.

Since he was still sleepy, he didn't get up right away, but stared at the ceiling light in the room for a while.

"Xue Tong," he called out in a low voice.

"What's the matter?" Xue Tong poked her head in when she heard him call out to her

"What's the matter?" Xue Tong poked her head in when she heard him call out to her.

"Come," he said.

Xue Tong smiled, threw herself on the bed and kissed his face, "get up Slacker!"

After breakfast, Xue Tong curled up on the sofa to read a book. She was so moved by the reading that she couldn't stop sighing.

Mu Chenghe was still wearing his glasses, and hearing her sigh, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"She loves him so much, how can he be so ruthless to break her heart like that?"

After a while, she clenched her teeth and exclaimed again, "Heartless man! Traitor!" Mu Chenghe couldn't help but take off his glasses, raise his head, and ask, "What are you reading?"

Xue Tong smiled innocently, hurriedly covered the cover of the book, and replied, "Nothing, nothing. I borrowed it from the library, I wanted something to pass the time, while I'm off work.

Talking about book loans, Mu Chenghe recalled that the night before he had requested some information, for which he needed to go to the library for some books. So he put on his coat and told Xue Tong that he would go to campus and come back with the shopping done.

Xue Tong continued to be so engrossed in reading it that she didn't even flinch from raising her head, just waved her hand and said, "Come back early."

It takes a long time to leave the faculty building and cross the street, to reach the East gate of University A. Although classes only start on the 16th day of the first lunar month, many students have been returning to campus one after another, and the departments of logistics have been busy since very early.

The books that Mu Chenghe usually looked for were found on the fifth floor, so he checked the ISBN and went inside to look for the books.

There are several reading rooms on the first and second floors of the University A library, and the third floor is for comprehensive literature in the social sciences and humanities. Generally, it is in that place that students often borrow pink novels and light reading.

Mu Chenghe almost always goes to the sixth floor to look for specialized books, but before being borrowed, all the books have to be scanned at the third floor entrance.

Therefore, the secretary who works at the loan office on the third floor is a recently graduated girl named Xiao Ma. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and start calling her Ma laoshi as well. Quite the contrary, Wei laoshi in his forties calls him as the vast majority do "Xiao Mu", which makes him feel much more comfortable.

On the other side of one of the bookshelves, there are several graduate students from the Physics Department, although he didn't teach them, acquaintances will appreciate. .

Mu Chenghe exchanged a few words with them and walked out after finding the book from him.

Xiao Ma scanned the book's isbn on the computer and said blankly: "Mu laoshi, your card has already reached the limit of loans."

Mu Chenghe was stunned: "Impossible."

It was not his intention to refute anything, and although he said it lightly, as if he was talking to himself, but when this word reached Xiao Ma's ears, the girl's face turned red

It was not his intention to refute anything, and although he said it lightly, as if he was talking to himself, but when this word reached Xiao Ma's ears, the girl's face turned red.

"Did Xiao Ma make a mistake?" Wei laoshi stopped reading his newspaper and walked over.

To confirm this, Wei laoshi took Mu Chenghe's card and swiped it again: "That's right, you reached the loan limit the day before yesterday!"

"Oh" Mu Chenghe nodded, suddenly remembering that a few days ago Xue Tong had used his card to borrow some books.

Master Wei shook his head again, "Xiao Liu and the others were on duty the day before yesterday. How could they make such a mistake? They are so careless when it comes to working. I should talk to them. How could Xiao Mu borrow this kind of rose novels?

Mu Chenghe hurriedly cleared his throat and said, "Yes, I did borrow them." Or at least his girlfriend did.

Master Wei said: "Impossible. What kind of books are these?" Then, to test his point of view, he looked at the computer screen and read the titles one by one: "Cold President and Pretty Mistress"; "Blind Man, I love you"; "The Fierce Girl", "The Stunning Prince..."

Although Wei Laoshi's voice is not as loud as that of the nanny downstairs, in a nearly empty library, his voice rang out loud and clear. But Mu Chenghe's almost automatic reply "I borrowed them" resounded much louder than the teacher's. Causing Mu Chenghe's face to turn from crimson red to frightening blue.

The three students who were still in the room stared at him. And for the first time in his life he experienced firsthand what it means to want to dig a hole and disappear.

The guilty, Xue Tong, was at home in a *sneezing fit.

*It is said that if you start sneezing out of nowhere, it's because someone is talking bad about you.
