After returning from sea fishing, I spent a few days peacefully.
The University of Hong Kong is very large, and the distance between the School of Architecture and the School of Economics is longer than the distance He Tianran used to travel from a rental house to attend classes at the Film School. Ever since that day, he and Cao Aiqing met in the lead-washing pond, and they never met again. Contact, even if you want to meet on campus, the probability is very slim.
But that's fine. He Tianran often thought that if he really met Ai Qing on the road, he would just nod and pass by.
Not disturbing other people's lives is the only thing he can do now.
I don't know if he has experienced too many twists and turns, but He Tianran has become much more "calm" than ever before. He is no longer disturbed by some daily trivial matters. If something interesting happens around him, he will He would also laugh along with him. Occasionally, he would watch some old movies and be affected by some sad plots. When playing basketball with his friends, he still maintained his desire to attack.
He still has feelings, but they are more like the right thing to do under normal circumstances and in the right environment.
He Tianran has always been good at this, hasn't he?
He Panshan calls his son's state of "growing up."
But He Tianran feels that this is more like "aging".
Over the past half month, the evaluation of He Tianran by his classmates has changed a lot. Shyness has been replaced by warmth, and reticence has been replaced by gentleness. He has gradually broken away from the image of a rich second-generation otaku and turned into a person praised by his classmates. "Gentleman".
It's funny to say that the only stain on this gentleman may be the quarrel he had with Cao Aiqing not long ago.
The word "gentleman" is actually not a good word in the eyes of people who study finance. This industry emphasizes wolf nature, the law of the jungle, ambition, and desire, so sometimes being modest becomes a weakness, He Panshan The comment on this was that he was "easy-going", and the teacher in their finance department commented on He Tianran, saying that he did not have the "hungry" of their financial people.
Of course, judging from the scoring situation, as far as He Tianran's own family background is concerned, his state is also an advantage. On the contrary, his younger brother He Yuanchong, that guy is really a little wolf, who can do anything anytime, anywhere. They both have the words "do their part" written on their faces. The personalities of these two brothers are really two extremes.
The complex process of reincarnation has gone through one round after another. Even the numbers on the calendar have experienced progress and regression personally, so the thunder, lightning, wind and rain in the world will not frighten He Tianran.
He began to become as transparent and silent as the world, but at the same time, he also had his own entanglements and confusions.
…
…
One day, HKU Library, staff office.
"Student He, why do you want to come to the library to help? Your junior year finance course should be quite heavy."
Opposite He Tianran, sat a middle-aged woman wearing glasses. Her tone was soothing, her face was kind, and she looked gentle.
Right now, an interview is going on.
"Although the schoolwork is heavy, I still have free time. The reason why I come to the library to work is because... I have recently felt confused about my life. I can't describe it in detail in words. This It may need to settle, so I want to find a quiet place and think slowly for a while."
He Tianran answered honestly.
The middle-aged woman smiled and said: "Classmate He, if you just want to think quietly or find answers in books, then you can come to the library at any time. There is no need to work here."
He Tianran answered fluently: "Teacher, what I need is not only solitude, I also need communication and observation. The confusion about life is always light on paper. I prefer to integrate into the atmosphere of the library to find answers." "
"What's the atmosphere?"
"In my opinion, the library is a place where it is easy for people to see what 'desire' is. In this era, most people have forgotten how eager we were for knowledge in the past. If something is easily available, it will be difficult to let it go. People cherish. For example, a few days ago, my father wanted to reward me with something, but I couldn't think of anything I wanted. This made me suddenly realize that I need to calm down and observe other people's views on the world and their views on the world. Knowledge, that desire for the future, that’s important to me.”
He Tianran spoke eloquently. After listening quietly, the interviewing teacher adjusted his glasses and asked:
"So, Mr. He, can I understand this, that is, you hope that through reading and this practical work, you can become more 'profound' than you are now?"
The man lowered his eyebrows and pondered. The interview teacher did not interfere with his thoughts. After waiting quietly, He Tianran finally shook his head.
"The word 'profound' is not quite right. I don't want to be such a profound person..."
He first corrected the sentence carefully, and then said to himself: "I want to be a... comprehensive person."
He seemed to have found something he was lacking, raised his head, emphasized his tone, and repeated it again.
"Yes, thoughtful. I want to be a more thoughtful person than I am now."
…
…
Since then, there has been an additional student administrator in the library.
The library of the University of Hong Kong is not brightly lit 24 hours a day as popularly rumored, and it is filled with students studying for self-study at all times. In fact, it closes at ten o'clock every night, but the overall learning atmosphere of the University of Hong Kong students is indeed It is something that can only be felt in such a top university.
The job of a librarian is not as leisurely as imagined. On the first day after He Tianran successfully interviewed, the teacher gave him a copy of "Chinese Library Classification" and asked him to study it first and check the classification according to the vocabulary list. Check whether the books in the area are placed correctly, and arrange the books neatly along the edge of the bookshelf.
If some students "kindly" insert a book into the bookshelf, He Tianran needs to check the entire bookshelf, find the randomly placed book, and then put it in the correct position.
And every night after the library is closed, he has to sort the books returned by students during the day into categories according to their numbers and relocate them to the corresponding bookshelf positions so that students who have checked the numbers online can find them accurately.
This sorting process will probably take about an hour. If there are more books returned during holidays, this time will be relatively longer, but fortunately, he is not the only one doing this work.
Boring mechanical labor and constant repetition have left only three among the latest batch of student administrators recruited into the library.
He Tianran was the only person who did not make any mistakes during his internship.
He works really carefully.
This is something you can put on your resume.
After all, the HKU Library recruits very few student administrators. Among the total twenty-five administrators in the library, only a few places are reserved for undergraduates. When they graduate, if they wish, they can stay directly in the library. Work, a monthly salary of 6,000 yuan, three insurances and one fund, including food and accommodation.
Of course, student administrators do not have such benefits. After all, they have to attend classes and cannot be available at all times.
But for now, He Tianran is indeed suitable for this job.
He really wants to make himself considerate.
Even if others don't fully understand what his comprehensive plan is.
This version of Brother Tianran should be only one step away from the old monk who can interpret spirits on the mountain. Yesterday I was lamenting to a reader that I don’t know when I will be able to use the word "younger" again to describe today. He Tianran.
