A private, nonprofit library called "Zhi Jian" opened.
From then on, I would often see the owner at the library.
She had seen many worlds, witnessed all kinds of breathtaking sights, and met all sorts of people. She had spent twelve years seeing the world, yet her eyes were still clear and bright as she looked straight at me and said, "My dream is to open a library in my hometown."
London Library, United Kingdom, 2018
A handsome Chinese man sat at a desk in the library's Section C, Table 2, staring at the computer screen, where lines of code flickered.
After working for two hours, he finally sighed and shut down the computer.
Suddenly, a girl appeared in front of him. She wore a simple, elegant white dress, her face bare of makeup but bright with youthful energy. She handed him a card with a message written on it:
"I want to build a library with you."
"I say nothing about fate, but I know life."
"You may say I'm putting on an act, but this is who I am, my truest self."
The full manuscript is currently being drafted.
I promise I won't abandon this one. Feel free to add it to your reading list.
