Time manager

"I want to return the book." The little girl said blankly.

Lian Ping, like other colleagues, subconsciously performed routine operations after receiving the book.

Shi Jing was watching secretly, and suddenly heard a colleague beside him sigh softly: "It's her again..."

Shi Jing: "What?"

"This little girl came here yesterday. She secretly hid the pet cat in her schoolbag and brought in a blank book on purpose, pretending to be a book from our library. , just that one."

"This is not from our library, little sister, did you take it by mistake? Is this your own notebook?" Lian Ping flipped through it and returned it to her.

After he knew that Shi Jing liked to collect notebooks, he would help to keep an eye on them from time to time, and he also had some eyes for notebooks, so he couldn't be fooled by just putting a label on them.However, he had a different opinion from his colleagues. He didn't think that the little girl was playing a prank. Most likely, she just picked it up by mistake. It's not uncommon for him to return his own book in a borrowed book.

The little girl didn't speak, took the book back, glanced at the borrowing desk, and silently moved to Shi Jing's side again.

Shi Jing noticed that she was carrying a big schoolbag, but the zipper was closed, and there was no cat or anything.When it was her turn to return the book, she was still very calm, without the slightest disappointment and frustration after being failed to return the book many times.

Shi Jing looked at the book, and sure enough, as his colleague said, the barcode on the label on the spine of the book was wrong.However, when he opened it, what he saw was not a blank page, but lines of neat handwriting.

Lian Ping really hit the spot!Here is this notebook!

Moreover, it looks like it should be a little girl's diary, and the contents are all in date format.The title page reads:

A memory that cannot be seen, a secret that cannot be told.

——Chu Xiluo

The handwriting is neat, and the font is regular script, as if it has been practiced, but it is not as sophisticated as an adult's handwriting.

Chu Xiluo must be the little girl in front of her.Shi Jing thought to himself, he just found the words pleasing to the eye, so he glanced at them casually, and found that two cats were mentioned in it.

He looked up and looked at the girl's eyes blindfolded by the timeline, and he was even more sure that this was the person he was looking for.

As for why no one else could see the words in the notes, Shi Jing probably guessed.He has a view of God.

If the girl was a close relative of the manager, it would not seem surprising that the writing would hide this fact.

It's just that for some reason, the girl didn't seem to want to communicate with him, she just waited quietly and observed.

Shi Jing said, "Are you sure you want to pay it back?"

The little girl, or Chu Xiluo, finally showed a different expression, as if relieved, and said with certainty: "Yes."

"My father is gone, I'll return the books for him."

She said this in a light tone, but to others, there was an indescribable sadness.

Shi Jing confirmed it even more.

Chu Xiluo's father is the manager of the black cat!

"He will be back." Shi Jing said, making a show and going through the operation process, and returned the borrowing card to her. "By the way, your cat..."

But before he finished speaking, Chu Xiluo turned around and walked out of the library quickly, as if she didn't want to talk to him at all.

The colleague on the side was puzzled and said: "Mr. Shi, you are not so good, this little girl probably has a mental disorder without her father, so she has such a strange behavior, but you can't take other people's books."

Shi Jing put away the book. "If that's the case, then the book is her obsession. Only when she puts it down can she live a good life. I'm just cooperating with it for the time being and putting it away. One day she will figure it out, and when she comes back, I will return it to her."

Colleagues don't say anything anymore.

Shi Jing waited until no one came to borrow, and called up the information of the borrowing card just now.He noticed just now that the little girl didn't use his own library card, it should be her father's.

Name, Chuhe.

The profile photo on the profile is of a very handsome man. He looks a little arrogant and has the aura of a person in power. A passport photo also shows the aura of looking down on all living beings.

Shi Jing silently wrote down the information and made a decision.

He called Boss Yang and learned that Chu Xiluo had indeed gone to the thrift store again, so he said, "You find a way to hold her back, and don't let her go."

He didn't know why the girl wanted to find him but didn't directly mention his name. He just took a book and kept looking for it. After finding it, he didn't want to communicate with him.It's as if... She didn't want others to know that she found him.

Shi Jing wondered if someone was following her.After all, although Chuhe disappeared, the black cat didn't seem to restart the master recognition mode, but was still looking for the master instead.Then, those who are eyeing the manager's tool can only subdue it by finding the password of the tool.

The administrator is missing, and the password is probably only known to those closest to him...

Shi Jing felt that it was still necessary to talk to the little girl.Of course, he will take a safer approach.

So at noon, Shi Jing went to the noodle shop to pack three servings, and then went to the thrift store.

The black cat suddenly jumped out from the flower bed by the side of the road and trotted after him.

"Where have you been? Have you met your master?" Shi Jing asked.During the morning run, the black cat wandered away by itself.Shi Jing was used to its disappearance, so he didn't care.Thinking about it now, it should be meeting up with the little master.

The black cat nodded, looking very happy.

Shi Jing was also happy for it.

"It's just right, you have finished eating the cat food I bought last time, so follow your master back today."

The black cat stopped abruptly and looked at him in disbelief.

"Why, you're still not happy, are you not thinking about leaving?" Shi Jing said helplessly, he was in a hurry, so he had to pick up the black cat.

But the cat scratched his paw angrily, jumped off the ground suddenly, and ran away angrily, jumped onto a van, through the windshield, bared its teeth and clawed at the driver inside, scaring the well-parked van Had to leave the shadow.

The black cat was probably relieved, and returned to Shi Jing's feet, following reluctantly.

Shi Jing said, "Are you angry?"

The black cat turned his face indifferently, but followed closely.

"..." It seemed that he was really angry.

Shi Jing thought to himself.He really didn't know how to coax pets, so he had to wait until the thrift store.

He greeted Lao Yang, and the little girl was still there when he entered.

Boss Yang happily took the noodles and ate by himself, leaving room for the two of them by the way.

Shi Jing liked this old man, he had a special wink.

So he put it down, took out the pen in his pocket, stabbed it at himself, and heard the reminder of the note as he wished——

[Time stands still. 】

Shi Jing put away the pen in satisfaction, walked towards the stunned little girl Chu Xiluo, and patted her on the shoulder lightly.
