Chapter 295 How could she be so charming...
"Qin Kun! Come on, we don't have classes this afternoon, wanna play some pool?"
"Uh... I, I'm not going, I have something to do."
Inside the dormitory, Qin Kun waved his hand in refusal. He was carrying a bag, as if he was about to go out.
"What could you possibly want? Going on a date? With whom?"
"It wasn't a date... I just... wanted to try something new..."
After Qin Kun finished speaking, he walked out the door, picked up his bag, and left the dormitory.
He took out his phone and checked the time, looking quite hurried, muttering to himself:
"She should be there at this time..."
He jogged all the way to the school library...
The moment he stepped into the library, he began looking around, as if searching for someone...
Finally, his eyes lit up; in a corner, he saw a figure from behind...
It was as if she had hidden herself away there; it was a remote but safe place, and unsurprisingly, she was all alone.
This person is Shen Linyi. Her life basically consists of going to class, going to the library, and going back to her dormitory to sleep.
Only when I'm with Yin Mengran and the others do I feel truly fulfilled...
Qin Kun walked over quietly and went straight to the empty seat next to her!
"Hi, may I sit here?"
Before Shen Linyi even noticed Qin Kun's presence, Qin Kun greeted her and then sat down next to her!
This was quite a shock to Shen Linyi's heart!
She shuddered and almost fell off the stool!
"Hey, watch out..."
Qin Kun instinctively reached out and supported Shen Linyi's arm to prevent her from falling...
However, this physical contact made Shen Linyi very uncomfortable!
The next second, she forcefully shook off Qin Kun's hand!
The feeling was like utter disgust, a desire to fling Qin Kun's hand away...
If it were anyone else, they would have been provoked by Shen Linyi's attitude and would have left immediately...
But Qin Kun didn't. Ever since he tested Shen Linyi yesterday, he had come to a conclusion: he knew Shen Linyi wasn't what others imagined...
Therefore, he understood that Shen Linyi's behavior was merely self-protection, not a sign of genuine dislike for him...
Shen Linyi didn't say anything more, but lowered her head and stared at the book in her hands...
"Don't sit so close, it's bad for your eyes..."
Qin Kun spoke again, offering gentle advice.
Shen Linyi didn't answer, but she slowly raised her head slightly...
Qin Kun was pleasantly surprised to see that Shen Linyi had actually listened to him... His bold actions hadn't caused any problems?!
Then, Qin Kun opened his backpack, took out many books, placed them on the table, and said:
"Why don't you try these? They're all pretty good... I highly recommend them."
He knew Shen Linyi loved reading, so he carefully selected many books he thought she would enjoy...
This is called... catering to their preferences!
Shen Linyi tilted her head slightly, glanced at the books in Qin Kun's hand, and whispered:
"I've seen all of these..."
"Eh?"
Qin Kun blinked, his gaze fixed, stunned...
These? I have seven or eight of them myself! Popular ones and lesser-known ones!
You've seen them all?! How could that be?!
"Wow...you're so amazing! You've seen all of these! I need to...learn from you. Actually...uh, I haven't seen any of these yet, hehe..."
Qin Kun scratched his head awkwardly. In reality, he hadn't read any of those books at all; the so-called recommendations were just a way to find topics to talk about...
Upon hearing that Shen Linyi had already seen it, he stopped pretending; he was afraid he'd be exposed later...
Just then... Shen Linyi suddenly extended a finger and touched Qin Kun's desk...
Then, I gently tapped one of the books...
"This is beautiful."
"Oh?! Really?! Okay, okay, I'll watch it now!"
Qin Kun was extremely excited. Shen Linyi had actually spoken to him first! And she even recommended a book to him!
This already proves that I have been very successful so far!
Qin Kun quickly opened the book and began to read...
Five minutes later, Qin Kun came to a conclusion...
That means he's really not suited for reading...
He can read a passage three times in a row, and he doesn't know why; it's as if he can't concentrate.
I recognize all the words, but when I read them aloud, I can't visualize the scene in my mind; I can't enter that world.
So he had to read it three times before he understood...
During those five minutes, he would occasionally glance at Shen Linyi for one minute...
As a result, Shen Linyi was so focused that you could only see her eyes moving little by little as she read line by line...
"Om..."
Qin Kun's phone vibrated. He took it out and saw a picture sent by a friend...
His friends play various sports, including billiards, basketball, and badminton...
Many people invited him, urging him to come over and join in the fun...
He stared down at the invitation from his friend, bit his lip, then looked up at Shen Linyi beside him...
"No, you guys play."
Qin Kun declined all invitations, silenced his phone, put it in his pocket, and focused his mind on reading...
During the process, Qin Kun didn't say another word to Shen Linyi, because he knew she was there to study in peace and quiet.
I can't keep bothering her just to talk to her; that will only annoy her...
He set his expectations very low. Before coming here, he had already decided that as long as he could say one word to Shen Linyi, he would consider it a success, even if he couldn't sit next to her...
As a result, they not only sat together, but even talked, and Shen Linyi even recommended a book to him...
This was already a great success, and he wasn't greedy, so he spent the rest of his time reading attentively without disturbing Shen Linyi.
About two hours later, Shen Linyi seemed to be leaving. She closed her book and packed her things...
Seeing that Shen Linyi was about to leave, Qin Kun didn't continue. He also packed his things and prepared to leave.
"Um... thank you for today."
Qin Kun whispered to Shen Linyi.
Shen Linyi stood there, stunned for a moment. Clearly, she was wondering why Qin Kun was thanking her...
However, she didn't ask any further questions, simply shook her head slightly, then slung her bag over her shoulder and walked out.
As she passed by Qin Kun, the delicate fragrance of her hair wafted into his nostrils...
He watched Shen Linyi leave the library...
"How can she be so captivating..."
