Chapter 579
When ordinary young men pursue girls, when they give gifts, they often choose something related to the other party's preferences, at least so that they can use it, and let them feel that you are careful and caring.

But a literary youth like Lan Shengli would not do this.

After meeting Xiao Jing in the "Zangshu Pavilion", that is, the library, Lan Shengli wanted to recommend, or give Xiao Jing a book.

Although the matter was unsuccessful at the time, Lan Shengli did not let it sit for too long.

In the electronic reading room, Lan Shengli found an opportunity again and gave Xiao Jing the very delicately treasured "The Old Man and the Sea".

"The Old Man and the Sea~?! Just this book~?!"

"And it's all in English, are you sure I can understand~!?"

For this book, Xiaojing doesn't seem to be very interested.

"The original English version is more interesting to read, and it can also help you improve your English level. I think it will be absolutely fine at your level~!"

Lan Shengli said.

"You think too highly of me, I'm afraid I won't be interested in reading this book,,,"

Xiao Jing put the book on the table and pushed it in Lan Shengli's direction.

"No, Xiaojing, I think you should really read this book, especially when you feel lost and helpless, or when you feel helpless and lonely, or when you miss your hometown, you can read it, definitely I'll make you forget about those things~!"

Lan Shengli continued to strongly recommend it.

"Okay, then, then I will accept it, thank you~!"

Perhaps it was also because of the unfathomable hospitality, so Xiaojing put the book in her schoolbag.

Being able to successfully send out this book is already very successful for Lan Shengli. In this way, Lan Shengli has also got in touch with Xiaojing and has a topic to continue to communicate with.

"It's a good start, keep it up~!!!"

Lying on the bed in the dormitory, Lan Shengli secretly cheered himself up.

"Xiao Jing, the Mid-Autumn Festival will be in two days, don't forget to eat mooncakes~!"

"I see, mom, you also want to eat and watch the moon,"

"Hey, you're not at home, your dad and I are bored doing anything, especially when it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, I miss you~!!"

"I miss you too, Mom~!!!"

After all, Xiaojing has been studying in the United States for many years, and she has never been home during this period. Of course, she misses her parents who used to get along day and night.

Girls, in particular, will be more emotional about such a situation.

After all, it sounds glorious to be alone on the other side of the ocean, but it is actually very lonely and stressful.

Wiping the tears off her cheeks, Xiao Jing hung up the phone, her mind full of images of her parents.

"I think you should really read this book, especially when you feel lost and helpless, or when you feel helpless and lonely, or when you miss your hometown, you can read it. It will definitely make you forget those things. Things~!!"

At this moment, Xiao Jing, who was a little helpless, suddenly remembered what Lan Shengli had said to herself before.

This made Xiaojing suddenly turn over her bookshelf and find the "The Old Man and the Sea".

"Huh~?! Where did you put it~!? Why don't you have any memory~?!"

Xiaojing was puzzled and searched randomly.

Perhaps Xiao Jing didn't care much about the book when she took it home, so she probably just threw it away.

"Found it~!"

After all, the dormitory has limited space, so it is relatively easy to find a book.

Xiaojing flipped through the book "The Old Man and the Sea" and read it.

Although it was written in English, Xiao Jing read it attentively while looking up the dictionary.

"Hey, how's your reading going~?!"

Occasionally meeting each other on campus, Lan Shengli would immediately ask about Xiao Jing.

"It's okay, but after all, my English ability is limited, so it is really difficult to read. I can feel the beauty of some sentences, but the translation is not accurate, so sometimes I am very anxious~!!"

Xiao Jing responded.

"It would be great if there was a Chinese version,"

Xiao Jing continued talking.

Obviously, because of this book, Xiao Jing talked more.

"The Chinese version may be enough to find, but you can ask friends in China to buy a copy and mail it here,"

Lan Shengli suggested.

"Forget it, it's good to read like this, and my English level should really improve~!"

Xiao Jing responded.

"If there is a chance, maybe I can help you translate and help you understand~!!"

Lan Shengli said a little unconfidently.

After all, Xiao Jing refused too many invitations before.

"Okay, do you want to go to the "Zangshu Pavilion"~?!"

Xiaojing unexpectedly agreed, and also specified the location.

To have such a good thing, of course, Lan Shengli readily agreed.

"Zangshuge, Zangshuge, I hope you can really do what that sentence says: there is Yan Ruyu in the book~!!"

Lan Shengli sighed, and was also preparing for a date with Xiaojing's Zangshu Pavilion.

"Oh my God, I heard that I used to go on a coffee shop date, I went to a disco, I went to a movie theater, I went to an amusement park, I never heard of a book, oh no, I went to a library, it feels like a monk and a nun. We're here together, haha~!!!"

Hearing this, Dawei couldn't help laughing and jokingly said.

"Don't talk nonsense, we were discussing literature very purely at that time~!! Very holy~!!"

Lan Shengli responded.

"Well, you cultural people are hypocritical, and then~!?, where is the climax of this story~?!"

Dawei continued to ask.

"The climax is coming soon~!!!"

As Lan Shengli said, he lowered his head, looked at the circled words, and returned to ten years ago again.

After making an appointment, Lan Shengli and Xiao Jing showed up at Zangshuge on time.

Because verbal communication is needed, the two sat in a relatively secluded corner, even if they talked quietly, they would not disturb others.

"Actually, I don't quite understand one thing about this book, that is, the whole book is clearly describing the story of this old man and that big fish, so why is it called the old man and the sea~?!"

Xiao Jing asked.

"Could it be called The Old Man and the Fish~?! Maybe it sounds like a fable~!! Haha,"

Lan Shengli replied.

"Just kidding, in fact, when I read the Chinese version of your question before, I thought about why it is called The Old Man and the Sea instead of the Old Man and the Fish. Maybe it is The Old Man's Fishing Notes,,, maybe the writer Hemingway thought so,, "

As Lan Shengli said, Xiao Jing watched with a very devoted and focused expression.
