Jian Chi absently stared at the document on the screen. Half an hour ago, he wrote three lines, and half an hour later, he finally came to the fifth line.

Zhang Yang, who was sitting on the side reviewing literature, raised his head from the thick stack of books. He yawned listlessly, and lowered his voice considering that he was still in the library.

“Jian Chi, have you heard about the library?” Zhang Yang couldn’t continue his studies, and in the spirit that he couldn’t be the only one slacking, he came over and asked in a low voice.

Jian Chi pulled back to his senses and forced the image about Shao Hang to the back of his head, “What?”

“It seems that the library is going to be renovated and expanded and I will have to study in my room for the next few weeks.” Zhang Yang curled his lips, showing some disgust, “YC’s study room can be described as billowing smoke (foul atmosphere). If I study there, I won’t be surnamed Zhang.”

“Expansion?” Jian Chi couldn’t help but remember seeing a few men in suits in front of the library that day, “The library is already so big, why should it be expanded?”

“Who knows?”

Zhang Yang laid on the table and said weakly: “They can always find various reasons. All in all, I don’t want to go to the study room at all. I haven’t seen it for so long, I hope it won’t be changed into a recreation room by some people.”

Saintston had strictly divided study rooms, but they had always been false names.

Special enrollment often chose the more convenient library, while other students disliked the their self-study room being too rigid and lacking private space. Some may even buy an entire classroom and convert it into a private study room. These were all heard by Jian Chi from Zhang Yang, and some were seen on HS. Few people go to study rooms to actually study.

Jian Chi’s already heavy heart sank again after hearing the news. He hoped that the special enrollment study room will not be as bad as Zhang Yang said.

But reality will never be as good as the imagination.

The library will be temporarily closed after three days, and the study room for special enrollment was even smaller than the first floor of the library. Jian Chi originally wanted to occupy a corner, but the students came to fill up the entire study room one after another. Even if most of them kept their voices low, at a very close distance, their ears were still full of small page turnings, voices, and typing.

Jian Chi was used to sitting in a quiet corner, but even if he wore a headphone, he could still feel the crowded figures and unfamiliar atmosphere around him. The incompatibility of the encroachment of his private sphere made Jian Chi have to divert some of his attention.

If that’s the case, he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to bear it for three weeks. However, a few boys with two brooches came to the study room on the second day. The volume in Jian Chi’s earphones were almost turned up to the maximum, but it still could not cover up the occasional laughter. Some people looked over with resentful eyes, but no one came to stop it.

Jian Chi left the lounge early. There was an important economic exam next week. He couldn’t look on in such an environment. It may be better to go back to face Wei An than to feel the suffocation in the study room.

When passing by the student union, Jian Chi couldn’t help but think of the book that was taken away by Shao Hang. During this time, Ji Huaisi occasionally sent him messages, keeping the frequency of once every two days. At first, he did not dare to reply too much due to his concerns, but Ji Huaisi seemed to not care about his perfunctory. Slowly, Jian Chi also let go of the initial awkwardness.
