1179 Now of All Times
After that day, Shen Li had indeed reined in her thoughts and spent more time in the library.
– Preparation for the mid-term exam.
Someone posted a photo on the school forum.
The morning sun was streaming in through the huge floor-to-ceiling window. The girl sitting by the window was wearing a black sweater with her hair tied up in a bun. The fine hair of her fringe fell over her forehead. She was resting her cheek on one hand with a pen between the fingers of her other hand. She was reading a book with her head lowered.
The sun shone on her, showing off her soft and lustrous black hair. Her skin was so fair and clear, that it almost seemed translucent. Her thick and curly eyelashes cast two small shadows under her eyes.
She was so focused and calm that she looked almost like a scene frozen in time in an oil painting.
[ Op: I’m so torn. Even this god of learning is so hardworking. What right do I have to lie down and do nothing? ]
The comments below also grew rapidly.
[ F*ck! Is this Shen Li? She’s studying in the library? ]
[ Student god! Did you make a mistake? With your grades, do you really have to do this just for a mid-term exam? ]
[ Stop scrolling! Stop scrolling! Please save the children! ]
[ Tsk, when I first entered the school, I knew that she was a freshman in the Physics Department. Imagine how many other departments’ hearts were hurt? Now it seemed that the heavens were really watching over them. It’s a good thing that such a god-like student didn’t come to my department at this university. Otherwise, this group of old men would really be too ashamed to continue working. [ smile ]
[ I agree! Even my big computer can’t handle it! The school belle is a common sight in school anyway. It’s fine as long as we don’t have to compare our report cards with hers. ]
[ Actually, my Mathematics Department can fight her, but the school belle only has astronomy in her heart, so let’s just leave it to the Physics Department! ]
[ By the way, there are so many comments on this post. Why haven’t I seen anyone from the Physics Department come out to speak? ]
[ They’ve probably gone to study. ]
[ The commenter above is very reasonable.+1. ]
[ The person above. +2 ]
…
As Shen Li casually browsed the forum, she soon received a message from Yan Qiu.
[ Little Junior Sister! Thank you! Now that you’ve shown such a good example by studying for the mid-term exam, we’re in a good state! This will be the first exam since I became a lecturer! Thank you again! [ Thank you! ]
Shen Li took a sip of her milk tea.
[ Senior Brother, you’re welcome. The milk tea is delicious. ]
After sending this message, she looked at the time, put away her phone, and put the spherical astronomy book that was on the table into her backpack. She got up and left.
As a teacher, there were a lot of things to worry about.
…
On Friday afternoon, Shen Li finished her last exam.
The next morning, she packed up and flew to Hong Kong City.
After having lunch with Old Master Gu and Old Madam Gu, she took some time to visit Dutian Racecourse in the afternoon.
Qingfeng had not seen her in a long time and obviously missed her. He kept rubbing his furry head on her shoulder.
Shen Li rubbed its ears and smiled.
“Would you like to go out and run two laps?”
Qingfeng pawed the ground with his hooves.
Shen Li did not ask the horse tamer for help, choosing to lead it out by herself.
Just as they were about to reach the horse track, the neighing of a horse could be heard.
She turned her head and saw a few staff members surrounding a white horse and a horse truck that was parked beside it.
The tamer was leading the white horse to the truck, but the white horse was not very cooperative and kept struggling to retreat.
Shen Li lifted her chin and asked, “What’s going on?”
The horse tamer beside her quickly said, “Miss Li, please wait a moment. I’ll go ask.”
He jogged over and said something to those people, after which, they glanced over at Shen Li.
Very quickly, the horse tamer returned and explained, “Miss Ah Li, that horse is about to be transported away today. Perhaps because it has stayed here for too long, it’s unwilling to leave and its reaction is a little big.
“Transported away?”
“Yes, that horse has an owner,” the tamer said, “I heard that it was successfully auctioned off that the horse race event in August, but it seems that its owner was too busy before and was not able to come for it till now. ”
This was actually normal.
There was a large number of horses that were traded at the horse race event every year. A considerable number of the new owners would choose to leave the horses here for various reasons and task Dutian Racecourse with continuing to help raise them.
Shen Li looked at it for a while and said, “This horse is pretty.”
“That’s right!” The horse tamer laughed. “White horses are rare, to begin with, and this one looks extra beautiful. Otherwise, Mr. Shi Yang wouldn’t have bought it at such a high price.”
Shen Li’s eyebrows twitched.
“Who did you say it was?”
“Mr. Shi Yang!” The tamer said.
Shen Li suddenly remembered that Shi Yang had indeed come here and picked a white horse during the horse race event.
So, it had been this horse.
It’s just that, she wondered why he would suddenly want to take the horse away at this time.
Shen Li asked, “Has Shi Yang been here again?”
The horse tamer was stunned.
“I… I don’t believe so. Ever since he bought the horse, he’s been keeping it in a special stable. As for Teacher Shi Yang, he hasn’t been here at all. I guess he’s been too busy.”
Shen Li stared at the horse, “So, he’s preparing to transport the horse back to the Capital?”
“Yes.”
Shen Li frowned.
It was understandable if Shi Yang was too busy to have the time to take care of the horse.
But…
He should be at his busiest around this time, right?
The white horse neighed again, but with the combined efforts of a few people, they finally got it in the truck.
This was a mobile stable that was specially equipped for such a purpose. Of course, it was actually a relatively closed small space with fodder and so on.
The tamer closed the door.
Qingfeng gently nudged her shoulder.
Shen Li withdrew her gaze and touched it. Her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled and said, “Alright, alright, stop rushing me. I’ll go with you now.”
As she spoke, she stepped on the stirrup and nimbly mounted the horse!
The horse tamer immediately stepped back and made way for them.
She shook the reins, and Qingfeng happily began to run.
The wind lifted her hair, as she turned to look back again.
The truck that was carrying the white horse had already left.
She frowned slightly and finally looked away.
…
Qingfeng ran a few laps around the race track.
By the time Shen Li got off the horse, her forehead was already covered in a thin layer of sweat.
Qingfeng moved closer to her again to pester her again.
“Miss Ah Li.”
The horse tamer quickly walked over.
“Third Master just called and asked if you would like to take a look at the art gallery after you’re done here.”
Shen Li was stunned, “Third Uncle?”
“Yes, Third Master said that he happened to be nearby and heard that you were at the horse track, so he thought to ask you.”
The gallery was not far from Dutian Racecourse, and Gu Tingyun had mentioned it before, so Shen Li agreed to his suggestion after some thought.
“Alright. I’ll talk to Third Uncle personally.”
…
Gu Tingyun’s car arrived quickly.
“Ah Li.”
“Third Uncle,”
Shen Li greeted him and got into the back of the car.
Gu Tingyun smiled and looked at her closely.
“Did you have fun this afternoon?”
Shen Li nodded.
“I haven’t seen Qingfeng in a long time, so I had some fun with it for a while.”
Gu Tingyun looked at her lively eyes, and the shallow dimples that appeared on her cheeks as the smile in the corners of her eyes deepened.
“I hope you’ll like the gallery too.”
