The huge study room is not very large inside, so running around in it is not a problem.
On the left and right sides of the study room, there are still large bookshelves standing against the wall, filled with all kinds of books.
These books cover a wide range of categories, including books of all categories. It is almost like a small library.
When Charlotte saw this study room for the first time, she felt very friendly.
In the interstellar age, since the advent of optical computers, the storage and carrying of books has become very simple and convenient.
Although paper books are still used by people, they are no longer people’s only choice.
Electronic books have more functions: you can choose the voice reading function, you can also put it in three-dimensional mode, intelligently mark key contents as required, and even have some 3D real-life displays and explanations.
In short, there are all kinds of functions.
These interactive supporting functions based on text reading provide a deeper and wider interpretation of the text.
The development of science and technology in the interstellar era has made reading more interesting, thus being able to cater to the different reading requirements of different groups of people.
Many people prefer the colorful reading method on the optical brain, and the experience it brings is great.
In particular, paper books are not convenient to carry, so many people prefer electronic books on optical computers instead of purchasing too many paper books.
In this way, Qin Shaoheng's full collection of books clearly shows his reading preference.
Like Charlotte, he prefers reading paper books.
Open every page in the book, every word, line, and page. It all relies on your own eyes to take the initiative to see it, and it all relies on your own brain to take the initiative to think about it.
This traditional way of reading has its own irreplaceable beauty.
With the support of technology, people can use high-tech equipment to conduct in-depth exploration of texts and present high-tech images.
But in essence, readers' independent reading behavior is very weak, and many times they are led by the nose.
How it is presented on the brain is how the reader will accept it.
The sensory impact caused by those sounds, lights, and images will repeatedly interrupt the construction of thinking images in the brain, making it lack coherence.
Reading has become passive, fragmented, and even a bit "couch potato".
In contrast, with traditional paper book reading, all text information needs to be refined by yourself.
How to internalize the text and construct thoughts in the brain depends entirely on the reader himself.
This kind of reading is a great exercise for the brain's thinking ability.
And Charlotte felt that during the reading process, her heart calmed down more easily.
She and Qin Shaoheng have the same preferences in reading.
In the middle of the study room, there is still the simple solid wood desk, which is simple and elegant, and matches his temperament very well.
"Sit down." Qin Shaoheng pointed to the sofa reception area not far away.
It was a set of Western-style solid wood carved leather sofas, which looked very elegant and had a low-key sense of magnificence.
The sofa is divided into 4 pieces in total, with a matching warm brown solid wood coffee table in the middle.
There is a five-seater sofa on the north and south sides of the coffee table.
On the east and west sides of the coffee table, there is a three-seater sofa.
Western-style sofas are inherently larger in size and are very sturdy.
Such a 4-piece sofa set, paired with the thick large coffee table, takes up a lot of space just by looking at it.
If it weren't for the huge area of the study room, I'm afraid that just this set of sofas would make it feel cramped and small.
But now, with such a huge set of sofas inside, not only does it not feel crowded at all, but it also has plenty of space.
When he heard the other party calling him to take a seat, Charlotte couldn't help but think of the situation a year ago.
When she came to this study for the first time, Qin Shaoheng did not invite her to sit down.
Of course, at that time, their relationship was not familiar enough to sit down and talk casually.
Charlotte didn't insist on standing. She followed Qin Shaoheng's instructions and sat on the three-seater sofa on the side.
Qin Shangheng also sat down with her. Although he did not sit on the same sofa as Xia Luo, they were still relatively close to each other.
After Charlotte sat down, she first expressed her apology: "Sorry, I came to disturb your rest so late at night."
Qin Shaoheng smiled and said: "It's not an interruption, I just have to come to the study to do something."
Knowing that he always spoke politely, Charlotte didn't mean to waste time. She directly took out the gift prepared for him.
The small long box has fresh and artistic wrapping paper on the outside and a delicate little latte art on the side.
"I don't know your preferences, so... I can only choose this gift based on my feeling." Charlotte said as she handed the small gift box to him.
Since they were not sitting on the same sofa, Charlotte leaned slightly towards him.
Similarly, Qin Shaoheng also leaned towards her, and then successfully took the gift.
The size and weight of the gift box all told Qin Shaoheng that this gift should be quite small.
With this shape, he couldn't help but guess what it could be?
necklace? Bracelet? watch? Or something else?
Obviously he receives so many expensive birthday gifts every year, but Qin Shaoheng, who has never cared about other gifts except those from his family, became very interested in someone's gift for the first time.
The curiosity in his heart drove him to immediately want to know what Charlotte sent.
However, Qin Shaoheng still asked politely: "Can you take it apart and take a look?"
Charlotte replied calmly: "Of course, please do so."
The gifts have already been given out, so naturally it all depends on the other party.
Since the other party wants to open the gift now, then go ahead and open it, there is nothing wrong with it.
Anyway, she didn't send anything strange.
Qin Shaoheng moved his fingers slightly and quickly unpacked the gift box.
Unlike the fresh and artistic wrapping paper on the outside, the original box of the item is black.
Opening the box, the contents immediately came into view.
His curiosity was satisfied, and Qin Shaoheng finally knew that what she had given him was a pen.
The black pen has gold trim on the top, tail, clip, and edge of the cap opening.
There is also a small dark green gemstone inlaid on the pen clip.
The design is very simple, but it still has a sense of luxury. It is low-key and exuding a sense of grandeur. It is very suitable for mature men.
Qin Shaoheng admired the pen carefully and did not comment immediately.
Charlotte waited quietly beside him, but also paid attention to his facial expression.
"The Major General, like me, reads paper books on weekdays, so I guess you must have the opportunity to use a pen." Charlotte explained the reason why she chose this gift, "Moreover, the Major General often needs to work, so pens also need to be used. Indispensable office supplies.”
