CHAPTER 17: GETTING KILLED
Zhang Yang entered into the school’s library as he
remembered the last time he came to the library was 2 years ago.
There were only few people in the library, still same as
before, the old woman wearing gla.s.ses was still sitting in front of the desk arranging
the worn out books just like two years ago and her att.i.tude was completely
focused on the work like before. The surface of the desk was filled with some
glue, scissors and such other tools. She was the administrator of the library.
They used to say that she was single, unmarried and had been working there for
some years.
As ZhangYang entered the library, she didn’t even lift her
head.
Zhang Yang directly headed towards the section of mathematics
books and periodicals, where there was a teacher looking at the bookshelves
above. Zhang Yang did not feel like talking to him, as he was not very familiar
with the teachers in the school except from his own department.
Zhang Yang picked up the first book and immediately after he
investing into it, the numeral’s world once again let him indulge in the rich
nature of the book. Xiao Yiran’s book was nothing compared to this one.
Time pa.s.sed gradually…
Zhang Yang did not know that his actions had already
attracted the attention of the teacher on the side.
The old man was teaching mathematics at the school. He didn’t
notice Zhang Yang at the beginning but when ZhangYang was constantly switching
the books and reading, exchanging and reading again, it soon attracted his
attention.
The feeling provided by this young man was too strange, as
he arrived less than two hours before and had actually changed four books
already. He sat down from the start to the end of a book, changed the book and
go to the back to read, he was too lazy to even sit down that he was reading in
a standing position, exchange and read immediately …
At first, the old man thought that Zhang Yang was trying to
find a book that he likes but soon he realized he was wrong, because, Zhang
yang picked up the book and read without missing almost a single page, just
that, his speed of reading was a little outrageous.
If Zhang Yang wasn’t fully invested in the book, then the
old man believed that Zhang yang was just putting on a show. The old man was
intending to leave but he was really interested on Zhang Yang so he found a
book and sat down near to his side frequently taking a quick glance at Zhang Yang.
Time pa.s.sed second by second, when people are extremely absorbed
into something, time appears to be very fast and Zhang Yang was currently into
this phenomenon. He had been reading here for full for hours. He did not know
how many books he read, but as long as the book placed in front of him was a
math book, he could not refrain from looking at it. The books were easy to read
and understand quickly.
Zhang Yang stretched himself as he was tired from standing
for four hours, depressed and hungry. He looked at the bookshelf to try to find
a book to take it back to the dormitory to read.
“How about this?” The old man went near to the side of Zhang
Yang and handed a book.
“Oh, … Thank You … The principle of computational fluid
mechanics …..” Zhang Yang could not lift his eyes from it, immediately, he was
attracted by this book. It was a very famous mathematics book, written by Weisi
Lin from Netherlands.
The old man smiled and did not say a word, he was observing.
He believed in his instincts that the boy wasn’t just putting on a show, but he
really liked this book. Zhang Yang’s focused expression reminded him of his
youth when he was a fanatic of calculation.
“It’s pretty good …”
Once again, the feeling of hunger pulled Zhang Yang out of
the book. At present hunger was the only way to get Zhang Yang’s attention.
“Why aren’t you reading …?” The old man was surprised for a
moment. He clearly saw a bit of reluctant expression on Zhang Yang’s face and
he was a little confused. Since he liked the book, why not take a look.
“That … I’ll come tomorrow, my library card is gone…”
The old man nodded and did not say anything. He just watched
Zhang yang go out of the library and the expression of his deep thoughts
appeared on his face.
…………….
Zhang Yang ran around to the Chinese department from the
library but did not see the girl and he went back to the dormitory with a
depressed look on his face, what is this society … ah? Now that everybody is
living a relatively comfortable life, why is it that I’m still busy running
around to have three meals a day?
It seemed that the only way is to find his roommates first
to get his dinner. Zhang Yang touched his growling stomach, he did not know that
he’d touched his belly several times already. The more you get hungry, the more
you want to touch it.
Zhang Yang could feel his body changing, especially it easy
for him to starve, and he couldn’t imagine this happening in the past.
Zhang Yang naturally did not thought that this kind of
dedicated mental work cope with the consumption of nutrition calories in no way
inferior to the dry weight of physical labor. Of course, the cause of Zhang
Yangs such strong sense of hunger is not only from some mental work, there are
variety of reasons. The countless thoughts of the elites inside Zhang Yang’s
brain is also one of the reasons.
“Zhang Yang, someone’s waiting for you in the dormitory ..”
“Oh …”
Zhang Yang just walked to the dormitory downstairs and take
a look at the dormitory’s door which suddenly startled the old man to get up
from his couch. Zhang Yang was immediately overjoyed as there are not many
people who try to find him so he was 99 percent sure that it was Liu Biao.
Recently, there has been no news from that guy for some period and now he has
come just in time ah!
Zhang Yang didn’t want to hear the old man’s nonsense so he
hurriedly climbed towards the fifth floor. He had already secretly decided to
himself to run outside of the school today to a luxurious restaurant and have a
lavish meal.
“Zhang Yang, someone is looking for you … …”
“Zhang Yang, quick, someone is waiting for you back in the
dormitory for a long time!”
“Zhang Yang, you finally came …”
……….
Straightaway, Zhang Yang felt that something is wrong. Every
person he encountered on the staircase would tell him that someone was waiting
for him, and one by one with a mysterious expression on their face. Of course,
to describe it in Zhang Yang’s words, that was a s.h.i.+tty expression.
Who is it?
Zhang Yang could not help but slow down his pace, his head
was basically operating like a computer but he couldn’t think of anyone besides
Liu Biao to come to the dormitory to find him.
Ahh!
Zhang Yang’s heart tightened, is it Xiao Yiran that came to
kill me ?
Zhang Yang felt his heart bounce “Bang bang”, but he had to
go back, even if he’d be killed, he had to get back. He cannot avoid someone
for a year and it is impossible now to go back to the dormitory to sleep too.
A man cannot be humiliated!
Zhang yang cheered himself inside, his movement was getting
slow more and more and wished that these floor would take eight to ten years to
climb ….
