Shi Jing opened his eyes and recalled the dream of last night.

He was standing on the boat, surrounded by white liquid rippling, like thick soup, like milk, vast and boundless, looking around, like a milky white sea.

There is no sun in the blue sky over the sea, only one huge star, but it is as bright as day.The air is warm, and there are white mist and silk fluttering in the air. When you reach out and grab it, it turns into noodles again...

I dreamed about eating...

Shi Jing helped his forehead to get up, and decided to use exercise to dispel those strange images in his mind.By the way, if you meet Lian Ping in a while, tell him about the rent.

But today he miscalculated, Lian Ping didn't show up!

This guy...is he really hot for 3 minutes?Shi Jing thought helplessly.

But it doesn't matter, there are plenty of opportunities to talk to him at work.

Today's morning run was rare without any accidents, and he entered and exited the community without encountering high-altitude parabolic objects. He thought of another question and asked, "Hour, under what circumstances would a person's luck change?"

[World fluctuations. 】

The world fluctuations...are they referring to natural phenomena?

"So my bad luck these days is just a probability event?"

[So far, yes. 】

That being the case, Shi Jing didn't bother too much.Anyway, after all these years of bad luck, he has been able to cope with it.

8:30

Shi Jing glanced at the borrowing hall, all the colleagues had arrived, only Lian Ping's seat was still vacant.

Shi Jing frowned and made an internal call to Tian Lu. "Is Lian Ping asking for leave today?"

Tian Lu wondered: "No, he only hired for one day, why?"

Just as Shi Jing was about to answer, he saw Lian Ping rushing in panting from outside the library, and changed his words: "Nothing."

Then hung up the phone.

Lian Ping punched the card and said repeatedly: "Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm late."

Teacher Wang Xu on the side said sympathetically: "Mr. Lian Ping, you are sorry for yourself. You have lost full attendance this month."

Lian Ping echoed pitifully: "Yes, yes."

Then he leaned over to Shi Jing and said embarrassingly: "Mr. Shi, look, how can I afford the rent with this little salary? I didn't think about it before, so I won't rent the house for now. I'm sorry for making you busy... "

Shi Jing said, "Didn't Teacher Tian Lu say she would rent your house? She can pay your rent."

Then Lianping can exchange rent for rent.nothing wrong.

Lian Ping: "Uh..."

Shi Jing: "Come and see the house with me after get off work today."

Lian Ping looked distressed: "Why don't you just forget it..."

Shi Jing: "It's just below my floor. There are two bedrooms, one living room and a balcony. Although the area is not as big as yours..."

"What? Are you downstairs?" Lian Ping was taken aback suddenly, and became excited: "Go and go!"

"..." With this change, Shi Jing had an ominous omen.

Sure enough... Lian Ping said with a hippie smile: "Then, Teacher Shi, can I go to your house for a meal in the future?"

"I reject."

"Don't be so stingy, hey!"

"No time for your share."

"You don't have me!"

"I'm a picky eater."

"I will eat whatever Teacher Shi eats!"

"The curator is here."

"..."

Readers have just entered the library in the morning, and there is not much work at the lending desk.After Shi Jing finished his business, seeing no one was there, he took out the book he picked up yesterday and scanned it casually.

It turned out that the book was nearly a year overdue!

Shi Jing flipped through the book, this book is not thick, popular novel, should be able to finish it soon, why did I borrow it for a year...

Judging from the fact that the woman has been with her all the time, it doesn't look like she has forgotten it.

However, even if it expired, Shi Jing could not return the book on his own initiative without the borrower's card of the person concerned. He could only mark the abnormality and put it in the problem bookshelf first.

If the borrower has left contact information, such as leaving a mobile phone number or downloading an electronic terminal with the library, the system will automatically send a message reminder.One month later, if the person concerned has not come to deal with it, he will go back to the library through the process.

Shi Jing was going to be the next one, when Lian Ping suddenly said, "Hey! You have borrowed this book ten times, and each time it is a few days overdue...Are you sure you want to renew it?"

From the corner of Shi Jing's eyes, Shi Jing saw that it was a middle-aged woman who looked very kind. Although Lian Ping's loud voice attracted some surprised eyes from others, she looked a little embarrassed, and she was not angry. With a smile: "Yes, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Oh!" Lian Ping also realized his impoliteness, and hurriedly operated, while muttering: "I am a master chef, do you want a gourmet recipe?"

The woman smiled and said: "Yes, I'm not good at cooking and my memory is poor, so I always have to read recipes. Today I really want to make a dish I saw here before, but I couldn't remember it for a while, so I had to borrow it again. It is not easy to make a dish perfect, it takes a lot of time, and it was a few days overdue by accident, I will pay attention next time."

Lian Ping originally wanted to remind her that there is a document printing department in the library, which provides copies of some materials, so that she can make a separate copy of the recipe, but Shi Jing secretly kicked her, so she stopped talking and quickly handed over the book past.

"What's the matter, Teacher Shi?" Lian Ping asked quickly when there was no one else.

"Your voice is too loud." Shi Jing said nonchalantly.

Teacher Wang Xu on the other end smiled and said, "Mr. Lian Ping is making a fuss about overdue things. You just joined the job, and you may not know that the highest overdue record in our library is 50 years, and it hasn't been paid yet."

Lian Pingxin thought that what he cared about was that he had borrowed it ten times! Of course, it would be strange to overdue every time, so he was surprised: "Ah? Really, it's been so long!"

He calculated: "One dime a day overdue, although not much, but in 50 years..."

Then I was horrified: "The overdue fee is more than 1000! Why don't you just buy a copy and keep it for yourself?"

"Really." Teacher Wang Xu took a sip of tea, "Well, you can find out by asking Teacher Shi Jing. He discovered it back then, and it was a special project that he applied for with the curator later, and it was waived for borrowers. fine."

Lian Ping immediately turned his head curiously like a kitten: "Really, Teacher Shi?! Tell me about it?"

"..." Shi Jing didn't want to say.

Because he broke the library’s rule and didn’t abide by the return time, which seemed to touch the strange rule line of “unlucky if you don’t discipline yourself”. As a result, a fire broke out in the old man’s house and he almost died. Don't want to recall.

So he said four words coldly: "The curator is confidential."

Successfully and simply blocked Lian Ping's exuberant curiosity.

"Curator" is simply Lian Ping's nemesis, so easy to use.Shi Jing thought, hoping that the new curator will not lose this role in the future.
