Chapter 7

There will be a mobile book fair soon, would you like to go and take a look? It is said that many mobile book vendors have come.

Lin Sheng wanted to say, I am not interested at all

Ancient Guren script. As long as one conducts targeted searches online, translation is not very difficult. It may be challenging for an ordinary person, but for someone like me, who has been engaged in the study of ancient languages for five to six years, it is truly not a problem

Lin Sheng took a moment to compose himself and carefully folded the paper before putting it away.

He is now more interested in translating that piece of text, but saying such a thing might dampen Shen Yan's enthusiasm

Lin Sheng stood by the school gate, listlessly holding his backpack

Lin Sheng lay silently in the quilt, opening his eyes with a calm expression. Yet, there lingered a trace of regret in his pupils

Interesting..." Lin Sheng pressed his lips together

That amount of money will last a long time

"Let's go together, maybe we can buy some odds and ends." Shen Yan warmly invited, her attitude enthusiastic. It was evident that she wanted to go.

Lin Sheng lifted the blanket, got out of bed, opened the drawer, and took out paper and a pen

In his previous life, he was engaged in a profession that was exceptionally sensitive to words. Now, once again confronted with unfamiliar characters, a long-lost passion gradually ignited within him

The alley is only two hundred meters away from the school, filled with various book stalls.

The girl tied her hair into a ponytail, which swayed back and forth at the back of her head. Her eyes carried a hint of lewd amusement as she glanced around.

Lin Sheng understood what she was saying

He intends to try translating it

After finishing breakfast at home, he changed into his school uniform, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and leisurely stepped out the door. He then took a slow bus and made his way to school in a rather uneventful manner

"Did you not just receive over a hundred in pocket money? I saw it yesterday; you had change in your pocket." Shen Yan snickered coldly

Lin Sheng had a blank expression

Upon thinking of this, Lin Sheng became somewhat interested

Groups of students dressed in blue and white uniforms streamed out of the open school gates after classes ended

In fact, they are a group of book vendors who both collect and sell used books. They can be considered as secondary book dealers. In this era of underdeveloped internet, searching for books has become one of the few hobbies for students.

She is not shy; rather, she is aware that there are boys present and feels embarrassed to come over at all

I specifically brought a dark cloth bag today, so we can buy more then

Lin Sheng carefully tucked the paper away and got up to start dressing

I never expected that the ancient Guren script in my dreams could actually be recorded, and quite accurately at that

As soon as school was over, Shen Yan turned around and asked softly

Nothing particularly special happened until the afternoon when school was dismissed

Although she is a girl, Shen Yan has never considered herself as one. In class, her relationship with Lin Sheng is like that of buddies

After speaking, she turned her head and began to pack her things

Where can you find girls pulling boys to buy erotic books

If it weren't for the gradually rising breasts and hips constantly reminding others that she is female, Lin Sheng really wouldn't have regarded her as a girl

I truly have no money

... ... not interested. Lin Sheng fell silent for a moment, forcing out a sentence.

Once you pass this village, there will be no more shops. Are you really not going? You might find some good books at a low price.

Soon after tidying up the books and exam papers, two students from other classes came to ask Shen Yan for her study notes. Shen Yan asked Lin Sheng to wait for her at the entrance.

Lin Sheng stood on one side of the iron gate, involuntarily taking a deep breath. The temperature, neither cold nor hot, made him feel as if the oxygen was penetrating deep into his lungs, completely expelling all the waste gases from within.

The so-called few dollars each refers to the most popular small white notebooks among students, which are also known as small yellow books

A line of ancient Guren script

He paused for a moment but still managed to hold back his voice

Lin Sheng focused on reviewing materials in preparation for the upcoming weekly test. Only during his leisure time did he have the opportunity to open that ancient Guren text note, breaking down each phrase, intending to look them up online first

Lin Sheng knows Ali, who is also Shen Yan's close friend and the only best friend in the class.

Lin Sheng was left speechless; this matter was unique even in a past life, let alone in the present

No disturbances, class, break, lunch, continue class, break

How about it? When the time comes, it will be considered our joint property. I will take a look for a week first and get back to you. After that, it can also be rented out for 0.5 yuan a day, " Shen Yan said mysteriously.

This is the first time in my life that I have formally encountered this kind of writing, and I did not expect it to be in a dream. I hope it does not translate into a bunch of garbled text

It appears fragmented, which is the most typical characteristic of the ancient Guren script. This is also the key reason why Lin Sheng can easily recognize its features.

He is very curious about what this ancient Guren script, remembered in his dream, will translate to after being deciphered

Mobile Book Fair? Lin Sheng pondered for a moment, recalling what this thing actually was

Hehe. Shen Yan smiled at him and said, "It's settled then, let's meet at the school gate in a while"

These types of beginner books are generally sold at a uniform price of 4 yuan each, but the content varies. Although Shen Yan is a girl, she particularly enjoys secretly purchasing these small books

A day's routine is about to begin

The shouts of students playing football after school occasionally drift over from the nearby playground

Lin Sheng carefully stared at the line of text he had transcribed, which was the cover of the book he had just memorized from his dream along with a line of handwriting

No! He suddenly woke up, quickly straightened up, and sat up from the bed

He has the intention to refuse, but now all his thoughts are focused on the words he has memorized in that dream

She has a carefree and easygoing personality, and gets along well with boys. She gives the impression of being an ordinary boy

Swish

However, the relationship with him is average

The two did not speak much, quickly walking along the roadside, turning around two street corners, and soon found an alley in a somewhat old neighborhood.

A trace of curiosity drove him to translate that passage as quickly as possible

I originally intended to pull Ali along, but unfortunately, she is too shy said Shen Yan in a low voice

"How much is it per book? At that time, you take one and I take one, and we will share the cost together," Shen Yan said in a lowered voice, leaning closer.

The morning sunlight slants in through the window, falling onto the desk and casting a pale yellow reflection.

The black ancient Guren script on the white paper resembles a line of fine metallic fragments, sharp and scattered, yet arranged in an orderly line.

However, it would be nice to go for a stroll. I remember seeing a pirated dictionary of ancient Greek characters at the second-hand book stall before. It's a cheap item, and buying it to take a look should also serve as a decent sample

"He has left!" Shen Yan suddenly appeared from nowhere and patted him on the shoulder

Touching his chin, Lin Sheng fell back into his old habits again

The cover features a variety of handsome men and beautiful women, while the contents are mostly filled with various exhilarating and taboo subjects.

"I won't be going for the time being, as I have no money," Lin Sheng said calmly

As the setting sun descends in the west, it casts a faint red hue upon the figures of each student

After a rustling sound, a clear line of writing was recorded on the white paper he placed on the table

Students continued to ride their bicycles, ringing their bells as they passed by
