for Advance Chapter
Whether it was due to national conditions or personality, Lin Junyi had noticed a commonality in both his past and future lives: girls struggled more with physics than boys, spending more time and energy on it.
Looking at the rows of people before him, the graceful figures stood tall and graceful, slender and graceful like willow branches, enchanting and snowy like plum blossoms, their brilliance surpassing that of spring.
Lin Junyi secretly feared that if he forcefully penetrated them, wouldn't he be a single red flower among a sea of flowers
? Regardless, if there's an advantage to be had, then take it!
Lin Junyi, thoroughly enjoying the close contact with the women around him, all dressed in cool summer clothes, quickly settled on his destination. He was about to reach for something on the bookshelf, nearly two meters tall, when his gaze was caught by a book: "
A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes."
He'd heard of this book in college. It's a classic work on cosmology by Stephen William Hawking, the greatest physicist since Einstein, the founder of both the black hole and Big Bang theories, and Professor of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge. It's a popular science text that popularizes profound theoretical physics.
He bowed slightly and reached for it.
At that moment, a pair of slender, seemingly heavenly hands suddenly crossed his line of sight. Their five fingers, slender and well-proportioned, resembled tender bamboo shoots, their skin white as cream.
That hand, Lin Junyi's, grasped the same book simultaneously.
Lin Junyi turned curiously, and the next moment, he felt his heartbeat drift away from an unknown dimension. The world suddenly grew silent.
Beside him stood a breathtakingly beautiful girl. Though she appeared only in profile, her slightly pouty lips like two rose petals, delicate and captivating. Just that profile alone left Lin Junyi speechless.
Standing slightly on tiptoe, her aqua-blue jeans hugged her slender legs, shaping them into a graceful silhouette. The trousers were slightly cuffed, revealing her smooth, white ankles. As she touched the ground on tiptoe, she moved gracefully in the air.
A pale blue lace blouse outlined her exquisite figure, her slender waist, her slightly rounded breasts, faintly obscured by her flowing hair. Like a waterfall, she obscured the breathtaking mountain scenery, yet, in doing so, made it even more breathtaking.
Lin Junyi had imagined many times what it would be like to appear before Luo Qingyi, whether it would be grand, like a celestial soldier descending from the sky, or low-key and reserved.
But Lin Junyi had never imagined that they would meet like this now, so ordinary that there was no touching encounter worth writing about to reminisce about, nor was there any grand and unforgettable lingering love.
As calm as a pool of water, without a single ripple.
Standing on the second floor of the crowded book city, Luo Qingyi turned her head slightly and looked at the surprised Lin Junyi. She smiled suddenly, her lips parted, and she whispered softly, "I can't get it down."
Her voice was like a clear spring, the tinkling of music.
Luo Qingyi's whole body was bathed in the sunlight pouring in through the window, forming a faint light shone from the sky, and with the light behind her, she looked like a fairy, otherworldly.
Calming his inner turmoil, Lin Junyi turned, exerting a slight force with his right hand, and the beautifully bound book slid out from among the thousands of books, appearing before him.
With a faint smile, he handed
the book, "A Brief History of Time," to Luo Qingyi. She took the book, brought it to her lips, and blew gently on it. The girl with the flowing ponytail, who had danced in countless dreams of Lin Junyi, both in past and future lives, and disturbed countless boy's reverie, now solemnly handed the book back with both hands.
"Here you go!"
For a moment, Lin Junyi stared at Luo Qingyi's beautiful face, stunned: no matter what, he had not expected her to do this.
"No, it's yours!" Lin Junyi didn't take it. After a long silence, he turned to Luo Qingyi and said seriously, "I was just looking at it out of curiosity, not really intending to buy it!"
"Oh!" Luo Qingyi looked at Lin Junyi and nodded doubtfully. She put the book away and suddenly smiled, a smile that made all the flowers eclipse her.
"Even so, I still want to thank you! I've come back with a lot today, and it's time to go home. Your name is Lin Junyi, right? See you next week!..." He
stared blankly at Luo Qingyi's receding figure, his mind fixed on the stunning smile she had just turned around. He was overwhelmed with shock, his heart pounding until the slender figure of the ponytailed school beauty gradually disappeared in the bright sunshine...
When Lin Junyi emerged from the bookstore, holding the physics tutorial book that had given him the most satisfaction, he found that the sun was already high in the sky.
Hong Kong is naturally a subtropical region, and it was midday, with the temperature outside well over 40 degrees Celsius.
As Lin Junyi pushed open the door to the bookstore and stepped onto the street, he felt a searing heat wave. He couldn't adjust to the nearly 15-degree temperature difference between indoors and outdoors, and his mind went blank. If he hadn't quickly grabbed a streetlight, he would have nearly fainted.
Standing by the roadside, his eyes slightly closed, he silently channeled the mantras from the Yellow Emperor's Bible, breathing rhythmically to regulate his blood circulation. After about a minute, Lin Junyi felt his body and mind relax, his face no longer pale but flushed.
"Oh, right! I forgot about my sister! It's so hot, and she's still working. I have to go see her!"
Lin Junyi had barely recovered, but the thought of Lin Wanqing filled him with anxiety. He spun in a circle to get his bearings, then, ignoring the scorching sun overhead, he grabbed his book and sprinted towards Zhongyuan Mall, not even bothering to wipe the sweat from his face.
When Lin Junyi ran to the square in front of Zhongyuan Mall, sweating profusely, he was like he had just emerged from the water, his whole body drenched. Whether it was his clothes, hair, face, or neck, sweat was constantly pouring down.
However, Lin Junyi didn't care at all. Instead, he stretched his neck and kept looking around in the crowd, anxiously searching for Lin Wanqing's figure.
At this moment, Lin Junyi suddenly overheard a conversation between a couple next to him:
"Honey, the weather is too hot, look, I'm almost turning into a roasted sweet potato. There's a new product promotion in front, it's so lively, let's go over and buy a bottle each and see how it goes?"
