Hao Cheng turned around and looked at Chen Qiyue. He asked calmly, “What’s the matter?”
Chen Qiyue smiled and waved the closed book in his hand. “It’s like this, Teacher Hao. I’ve finished reading the book in my hand. Can you lend me a few books to read?”
Hao Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly. “How many books did you borrow? Have you finished reading them?”
“I borrowed eight books last night. I thought that I would change them in the library this afternoon, but I didn’t expect it to drag on until now, so…” Chen Qiyue said with embarrassment.
“Oh? How did you know that I would carry a book with me?” Hao Cheng looked at Chen Qiyue and asked calmly, “What if I don’t have a book?”
“No, you’re our teacher.” Chen Qiyue smiled and said, “Putting aside the fact that you definitely have the teaching materials for the class, you’re already a Level 7 Feeder of the base. You have time to wait outside.”
“You will definitely be able to arrange the time more reasonably than us. This way, you will definitely carry books with you, as well as blank notebooks and pens.”
“There should be some notes that you usually take. If you’re willing to show me your notes, that would be even better.”
Hearing Chen Qiyues words, Hao Cheng snorted and took out a book from his storage ring and handed it to Chen Qiyue.
“Nice try, kid. Notes are out of the question, but I can lend you this book.”
“I don’t know if you’ve read this book, but I don’t think you have a very good foundation. This book is still useful.”
Chen Qiyue took the book happily and thanked him excitedly. “Thank you!’
This book was thicker than the one Chen Qiyue had read before. It was the size of A4 paper, but it was as thick as two dictionaries.
This book was enough for Chen Qiyue to read for the rest of his time.
Seeing that Chen Qiyue was reading the book with relish without saying anything, Hao Cheng shook his head with a smile and returned to his seat.
Originally, when he punished those intern Feeders, he had prepared a lot of books to read. He did not expect this kid to figure it out.
If not for his curiosity about this kid today, he would have read a lot by now.
Since he had guessed it, Hao Cheng naturally took out another book and sat there to read.
While reading, Chen Qiyue took out compressed biscuits from his storage equipment and ate them.
He had almost forgotten his lunch.
Fortunately, this was not the library. Otherwise, he would not be allowed to eat.
Hao Cheng naturally brought food with him. He was already used to having three meals irregularly, and he was also used to bringing dry food with him.
Sometimes, when he was doing research, he did not have time to go out for dinner. He would just eat some biscuits to fill his stomach. At this moment, the other intern Feeders had already finished their punishment and left, leaving only Hao Cheng and Chen Qiyue.
“Cheng Qi, why did you come so late?” Hao Cheng sat on the podium and asked as he read.
Chen Qiyue smiled awkwardly and did not say anything.
After a while, Hao Cheng looked at the time on his phone and closed his book.
“Alright, it’s about time. You should still have a mission, right? The mission your teacher assigned is not easy to complete.”
As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, and the Pink Butterfly flying beside him lit up. Chen Qiyue floated up, turned upside down, and was steadily placed on the ground.
Chen Qiyue’s feet landed on the ground, but he swayed twice before stabilizing himself.
He only felt a little dizzy. After all, he had been hanging upside down for so long. Even though he had signed a contract with three Fantastic Beasts, his body was still a little dizzy.
“Alright, I’ll leave first. I’m looking forward to your performance tomorrow and the day after. By the way, there’s a practical class tomorrow. I hope you won’t be punished again.”
Chen Qiyue handed the book in his hand to Hao Cheng and smiled at him.
“Thank you, Teacher. I’ll work hard.”
After watching Hao Cheng leave, Chen Qiyue slowly walked out of the building.
Downstairs, a familiar car was parked in the parking lot. It was the car that Chen Qiyue had driven earlier.
Looking at the empty parking space, Chen Qiyue was a little glad.
Previously, when he came, there were many cars parked here. Now, none of them were left.
Fortunately, he listened to Fourth Senior Sister and did not pay the bill with his card after turning off the engine. Otherwise, his car would probably have been driven away.
Chen Qiyue took out his card. After paying the bill, he swiped the card again and drove to Library No. 10.
Elder Huang was leaning lazily on a chair and reading a book. When he heard the commotion at the door, he looked up and saw Chen Qiyue getting out of the car.
“Yo, kid, you’re so late today?”
Chen Qiyue smiled awkwardly. “I went to class in the morning and was punished. I only came now.”
Elder Huang sized up Chen Qiyue gloatingly. “Tsk, you can be punished too?
Whose class is this?”
“Today is Teacher Hao Cheng’s class,” Chen Qiyue replied.
“Oh, that kid. He puts on a dead man’s face every day and thinks that someone owes him something. However, his strength is not bad. Kid, listen carefully,” Elder Huang yawned and said casually.
Chen Qiyue nodded and began to take out the eight books he had borrowed from the storage space and placed them on the table.
“I’ve finished reading these books. I’ve come to return them.”
Elder Huang paused and looked up at Chen Qiyue. “What time did you stop reading last night?”
Chen Qiyue was stunned for a moment before he understood what Elder Huang meant. He quickly waved his hand and smiled. “I didn’t read much last night. I only started reading this afternoon. Because I was punished to be hanged, I read for a while..”
