"How is Kevin doing in the library?" Arthur asked Krell who was standing aside after finishing the business at hand.

"Mr. Kevin is very serious about his work," Krell replied sternly, "It seems that Mr. Kevin likes this job very much."

"Yes, that's good." Upon hearing this answer, Arthur expressed his satisfaction.

One night a few days ago, after Arthur returned home, Ogden reported to him the family affairs as usual. After the report, Ogden did not leave, but stood behind Arthur with a hesitant expression.

"What's wrong?" Arthur asked.

Ogden hesitated, and finally said, "It's about Mr. Kevin."

"Kevin?" Arthur froze for a moment, then continued to ask, "What's wrong with Kevin?"

"Mr. Kevin asked me today where there are jobs available," Ogden replied.

"Work?" Arthur frowned.

"Yes," Ogden nodded, "Mr. Kevin expressed that he wanted to find a job. According to my observation, from the very beginning, Mr. Kevin was a little uneasy about living here."

"Really..." Arthur asked after thinking about it, "Is Kevin sleeping now?"

"Not yet," Ogden replied, glancing at the hourglass, "Mr. Kevin has never gone to bed so early."

Arthur nodded when he got the answer, raised his hand and waved, "I see, you go down first."

"Yes, Master." Ogden bowed and stepped back.

Arthur sat in the study and thought for a while, then got up and walked out of the room.

Tuk duk duk, Kevin, who was making the bed, suddenly heard a knock on the door, which made him stop what he was doing and asked with some doubts, "Who?"

Hearing Kevin's voice, the knocking on the door stopped, replaced by Arthur's voice, "It's me, Arthur."

Hearing that it was Arthur, Kevin's face became more suspicious. He didn't know why Arthur came to him at night, but he opened the door anyway, "Hello, Mr. Arthur."

"Hello, Kevin," Arthur smiled when he saw Kevin's questioning face, "Have you rested yet?"

"Oh, no, not yet," Kevin shook his head, "Is Mr. Arthur coming to see me for something?"

"Well, it's nothing, but it's not too late to see the time, so I want to chat with you," Arthur said, gestured to the room with his chin, "won't you invite me in and sit down?"

"Oh, of course, please come in." Hearing what Arthur said, Kevin hurriedly gestured sideways.

Not a moment after Arthur entered the room, the attendants brought tea and snacks.

Arthur picked up the teacup and took a sip, then looked at Kevin with a smile and asked, "Are you feeling bored recently?"

"Huh?" Kevin was about to drink the teacup, but stopped because of Arthur's question, and looked at Arthur for no reason.

"I heard from Ogden that you want to find a job," Arthur continued to explain, "I wonder if you think it's too boring to be here every day. If you feel bored, wait a few days when I'm free. I can take you out and around..."

"No," Kevin interrupted Arthur before he finished speaking, "It's not like that, Mr. Arthur."

"Huh?" Seeing Kevin's serious expression, Arthur raised his eyebrows.

"I'm not looking for a job because I'm bored," Kevin said, putting the teacup back on the table, looking directly at Arthur, "I'm not looking for a job because I'm bored, but because I'm already here for nothing Have had enough."

"I don't mind you staying with me," Arthur thought it was Kevin who had heard some rumors, and asked tentatively, "Did someone else say something?"

"Of course not," Kevin immediately denied, expressing his thoughts word by word, "I know you are very good to me, and I am also grateful to you for saving me and giving me a place to live so that I don't have to suffer from Japan. The people here are also very friendly and caring to me. But you see, I am still young and my hands and feet are sound. Do I have to spend my whole life doing nothing like this? My mother told me since I was a child. Self-reliant, don't take help from others for granted..."

After expressing his thoughts seriously and sincerely, Kevin finally reiterated his firm belief that he wants to work, "So, I want to work and I want to support myself."

Looking at the eloquent Kevin, Arthur felt that he had never seen such a look on anyone's face, full of vitality, confidence and hope for the future, Arthur found that, compared to those fragile females, although Kevin He looks so vulnerable on the outside, but his tough and independent character makes him want to get closer.

After Kevin finished speaking, Arthur asked, "You want to find a job and move out?"

"Yes," Kevin nodded. Although he felt a little bit reluctant, he still said, "It's very good that you and I are willing to take me in because we are not related. I don't..."

Before Kevin finished speaking, Arthur interrupted him, "You don't know anyone or anything here, how can you find a job?"

"This..." Kevin was speechless.

"I'll let Ogden keep an eye on you," Arthur continued, "As for moving out, let's forget it for now. Do you think it's easy and safe for a single female to live outside?" Kevin opened his mouth What to say, Arthur waved his hand, "Don't insist on such useless self-esteem, I never mind you living here, if you feel bad, you can use your wages to pay Ogden some after work, as a loan The cost of living is good."

After hearing what Arthur said, Kevin thought about it, and nodded embarrassedly with the mentality of taking advantage of Arthur, "Then I will trouble you."

Arthur smiled and rubbed Kevin's head.

As soon as Arthur spoke, Ogden naturally completed the matter as quickly as possible, and within two days he found a job for Kevin—going to the library to sort out and transcribe books and documents.This job is leisurely and stress-free, and it can pass the time. Arthur is very satisfied with the job that Ogden has done.

Kevin, who got the news on the other side, was also very happy, and when Ogden came to him and told him to take him to see the place where he worked, he immediately nodded and agreed.

It is called the library, but Kevin thinks it is more appropriate to call it the library. The European architectural style is full of documents and books neatly placed inside. Kevin fell in love with this place as soon as he opened the door. The thick color Bookshelves, yellowed books and parchment, sunlight refracted in through the glass windows, the whole room is filled with a quiet atmosphere.

"It seems that you like this place very much." Ogden looked at Kevin who was looking around with sparkling eyes, and asked with a smile.

"Yes." Facing Ogden's smiling face, Kevin's eyes also rolled up, "I like books."

"It seems that this time I found you a job that suits your taste." Kevin spoke with sincerity, and Ogden also felt that he had done a good job this time.

"Thank you, Mr. Ogden." Kevin thanked sincerely.

"You're welcome," Ogden said as he led Kevin inside, explaining to him what he was about to start and what he needed to pay attention to.Kevin listened very carefully, and occasionally took out a small notebook he made to record when he heard more complicated things. His attitude made Ogden nod secretly in his heart.

Kevin's job is to organize some books, and then copy some damaged documents with paper, and finally use a special plant juice to smear the copied paper on the paper to dry and then bind it into a volume. Arrange them in categories and you're done.There is no deadline for these jobs, and it is all up to the people who do these things to plan themselves. You can do as much as you like every day, and no one will supervise and urge you.

After the introduction, Ogden gave a few more instructions and left, leaving Kevin alone in this place where he will work in the future.

Kevin turned around to face the room full of books, and clenched his fists confidently, "Be sure to be a qualified librarian!"

The next day, Kevin officially started working. It didn't take much time from the initial unfamiliarity to the later proficiency. Kevin also liked this quiet but not boring job more and more. What made Kevin even more happy was that this job Working not only allows him to earn money to support himself, but also to understand the world that he has never touched from those words. Kevin loves reading and also loves to understand the wider world.

Every day, after Kevin has copied and sorted out a certain amount of damaged documents, he sits with a book in his arms and reads quietly in a brightly lit place until it’s time to get off work.

When Arthur came to see Kevin that day, he hadn't finished his copying work. Arthur stood not far away and watched Kevin copy those documents stroke by stroke with his head lowered intently. Maybe he would subconsciously bite his lips in places that were relatively jerky and unintelligible. The early spring sunshine hit Kevin's face, as if it had been coated with a layer of soft gold, so peaceful and beautiful.

At this moment, Arthur felt his heart beat twice.

Standing there watching Kevin for a while, Arthur was about to step up to call Kevin, but Kevin's attention was taken away by another unexpected visitor.

"Duanzi?" Kevin, who was copying the document quietly, suddenly felt as if something was hugging his calf. He was startled and looked down, only to find that it was Nat who hadn't seen him for several days. I don't know where it came out, and it's hugging its own leg and acting like a baby.

"Chirp..." Nat learned a new voice, but the grievance in his tone could be felt even by Kevin who couldn't understand what it said.

Kevin put down his pen, hugged Nat into his arms, and scratched his two little ears, "What's wrong? Who bullied you?"

"Tweet, chirp, chirp, chirp..." Nat kept pushing his head towards Kevin's chest.

"Hey, hey," Kevin laughed straight at Nat, "Why are you acting like a little drill? What's the matter, huh?"

"Chirp..." Nat continued to hum and chirp. It also knew that Kevin couldn't understand what he said, so he had to use actions to express his grievances. Originally, Kevin could play with Nat every day. But suddenly Kevin didn't show up a few days ago. He went out early and returned late, which made Nat's dark circles a little heavier. Finally, today Nat couldn't wait any longer and found this place with his sensitive nose. .

Kevin didn't know that Nat's depression was because of himself. Looking at the grass clippings on Nat's body, he felt wronged when Nat fell on his back while playing, so he picked up a piece of snack from the side plate and sent it to Nat. Te said, "Okay, don't be sad, let's have a snack, you ran out alone, does your father know?"

"Jiujiu..." Seeing that there was something delicious to eat, Nat immediately threw those resentments aside, stretched out two fleshy palms to hold the snack and ate it.

Nat's eating has always made others feel hungry. Kevin smiled and handed Nat snacks one by one, and sometimes he didn't forget to feed him two sips of water, and occasionally patted off the food crumbs on Nat's body.

Arthur looked at the one person and one panda who got along happily, smiled, turned and left.

"Jiujiu?" Nat was having a good meal when he suddenly realized that Kevin hadn't continued to hand him the snacks. He looked up and found that Kevin was looking out the window and didn't know what he was looking at. Nat, who was ignored, was dissatisfied. He stretched his short neck and pushed Kevin's chin with his nose, humming twice.

"Ah, what's the matter?" Kevin looked down and asked Nat who was pushing his chin vigorously.

"Jiujiu..." Nat pointed his paws at the plate of snacks.

"Do you want more? You can't eat so many snacks." Although Kevin said so, his hands didn't stop.

Seeing that Nat continued to lower his head and started to eat snacks, Kevin's eyes turned out of the window involuntarily. Was it an illusion just now?Why do I feel as if I see a black and white striped tail flashing by?

After watching for a while and still not seeing anything, Kevin refocused his attention on Nat, and Nat began to doze off on top of Kevin after eating a full stomach.

Kevin looked at the curled up little fur ball, feeling a little helpless, "Eat, eat and sleep, like a little pig."
