Section 4

The young girl opened the document and saw a lengthy script from a film or television drama. She couldn't help but glance at her a few more times, secretly sighing that it was no wonder this female guest was so beautiful; it turned out she was an actress. However, this face did not seem to have much exposure, so she probably was a newcomer

The young lady at the front desk, upon hearing her request, was quite polite and took the USB, saying: "May I ask which room you are in? Once it is printed, I will have the staff on the floor deliver it to you"

Considering the circumstances, this is still the first time they have spoken on the phone since they became acquainted with each other

However, looking at the "Exclusive Notes" pasted on the city notes, I still cannot help but think that he did not take these sticky notes, at least for his own convenience.

Shiyi knows that this must have been written by him long ago, and not for himself

Shiyi looked at him, wondering what kind of words he would say to comfort the graduate student beside him

Unexpectedly, Zhou Shengchen suddenly used his finger to turn a page of the book in her hand. It was only then that she realized, although Zhou Shengchen was accompanying them in playing cards, his gaze was fixed on the magazine.

I have always been curious about what a research institute is like," she said, mustering her courage, "Would it be convenient for you to show me around?

After sending the email, she opened the book and unexpectedly found that some pages had been affixed with white sticky notes. These notes simply marked differing viewpoints from those presented in the book. Perhaps individuals with a background in research tend to be meticulous; if it pertains to tourist attractions, they would also indicate whether entry is free, the ticket prices, and the hours of operation. If it concerns eateries, there would certainly be recommendations for signature dishes that are considered delicious.

It is appropriate to lower one's head to look at the envelope, which bears no writing: "Did he just leave?"

And they, being several meters apart, were unable to hail a taxi due to the large number of people.

"If you haven't taken Bus 400, you absolutely cannot understand what it means to be crammed on a bus," the cameraman Xiao Shuai said with a smile as he looked at Zhou Shengchen, "but we are pretty much in the same boat; we still don't know who will get to go back first"

I tried the weight and feel; it should be a book. City Notes?

The entire afternoon was thus spent, and by the time a few people exited the teahouse, it was already dark. The cameraman warmly invited everyone to dinner, but unexpectedly, Zhou Shengchen raised his wrist and glanced at his watch: "There is a meeting tonight." He Shan, his assistant in Xi'an for the past few months, despite his desire to dine, could only accompany him back to the research institute.

They were waiting for a taxi on the other side, across a road, and could see each other from a distance.

Amidst Xiaoyu's few words, another bus arrived at the station

Upon hearing the name Zhou Shengchen, she felt somewhat unsettled

Here is a book for you, brought by a gentleman just now, who hasn't had the chance to deliver it yet. The young girl picked up a large envelope made of kraft paper from the side and placed it on the counter. That gentleman's surname is Zhou, she added, and then, in a charming manner, murmured, This surname is quite strange.

Upon hearing the room number 1212, the young girl quickly inquired, "Miss Shi?"

Shiyi showed no impatience while waiting for the bus

Without any unnecessary words, there was only a string of numbers. Shiyi picked up the phone, entered the numbers, coughed twice to ensure his voice sounded its best, and finally dialed his number

Have you received the book

She felt that this was very good; not far away was Zhou Shengchen, and beside him, He Shan was complaining about something. A smile quickly appeared on his face as he spoke a couple of sentences, equally unhurried and calm

Zhou Shengchen stood behind a large, crowded group of people, waiting for the return of bus 400 to the research institute. This was peak time, and three or four buses arrived in succession, but they were all fully packed.

The next day, the cameraman took them to visit some famous places in Xi'an. As Shiyi looked at these historical sites among the throngs of tourists, she felt a sense of familiarity, yet she could no longer remember the details clearly

The handwriting is beautiful, but it is different from what I remember

She responded with a sound of agreement: "Alright, I will definitely read it carefully"

This is the first sentence of Zhou Shengchen

Hong Xiaoyu was still excitedly talking about "defectors" when he glanced at the cards he had thrown away and immediately wailed, "It's over, I've completely lost"

The young girl gazed at her face with admiration, thinking that if such a true beauty were to appear in the cinema, it would surely be a delightful sight

On the last day, the two of them were more exhausted than during work. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the cameraman went home to visit his parents, they both lay in the hotel, resting while organizing the work materials to take back.

Shiyi did not pay attention to the little girl's expression, but was lost in thought while looking at the envelope

This book was given to me by a colleague from the research institute; if you like it, you do not need to return it

She glanced at her inbox and had already received an email from Zhou Shengchen

Shall we call a car to give them a ride?" Shiyi immediately suggested

"We are still standing in the sea of people, and the future seems bleak," Xiaoyu was completely amused by her, leaning on her shoulder and whispering, "Shiyi, my beauty, since kindergarten, no matter who plays which prince or princess, you have always been that princess. So it is better to just be at ease as a princess. This person really doesn't seem to have much interest in you. What was that saying? You are not his cup of tea. So it is better to just be at ease as a princess. This person really doesn't seem to have much interest in you. What was that saying? You are not his cup of tea."

She returned to her room and continued to look at the note repeatedly. Unable to resist, she sent him an email asking whether there was a phone in the laboratory and if it was convenient to call.

She took the materials sent by the agent to the hotel front desk to print them

As time gradually passed from kindergarten to elementary school, and then to junior and senior high school, all related memories slowly faded away, and when recalled, they resembled a bizarre dream. If it were not for the many years she repeatedly told herself, "I want to see him," the memories of Zhou Shengchen would have inevitably vanished without a trace.

This book is quite well-written, unlike ordinary travelogues that are merely aimed at making money from publication, filled with lengthy and superficial personal sentiments. Fortunately, he did not leave any awkward pauses and naturally explained to her, "It is also unlike many city introductions, where half the page is filled with soft advertisements"

As soon as he hurriedly printed out the materials he needed and stepped into the elevator, he tore open the envelope. It was indeed the book he had mentioned at Qinglong Temple. The pages were not very new, and the corners of the cover showed some signs of wear, making it look like it was truly read by someone else. A blue sticky note was attached to the cover of the book:

In her impression, the memories of her past lives from her childhood were still as cherished as family heirlooms

Yes

Two people discussed how to squeeze onto bus 400 from the day before yesterday, talking about a one-day city tour from yesterday, and in the end, it was Zhou Shengchen who first suggested ending the conversation: "I think I need to start working now"

I got it, thank you. She just wanted to call Zhou Shengchen, but when the call connected, she didn't know what to say

Thank you, Room 1212," she said, then felt it was inappropriate, "Forget it, I will just wait here, do not copy it out, just print it directly.

"In about ten minutes," the young girl, holding a USB drive, signaled to those around her to help keep an eye on it, while she walked out from behind the counter. "If the documents are very important, the customer can operate the printing themselves. Miss Shi will be over here."

Zhou Shengchen and He Shan finally squeezed onto the bus, disappearing from Shiyi's sight. From beginning to end, Zhou Shengchen did not glance back here even once

Two groups of people separated, Zhou Shengchen took He Shan to take the bus

Zhou Shengchen

He finished reading the last few lines, withdrew his gaze to look at the cards in his hand, drew out two cards, and lightly tossed them onto the table
