Chapter 18 Libraries

At the beginning of the new semester, we were not only greeted by familiar faces, the vigorous atmosphere of the campus, but also piles of homework. The amount of them added up could almost drown me in it.

Why is there always so much homework at the end of each vacation?

This caused me to hold a book and read it almost every day on the way to class. There were so many things to remember. I was really afraid that I would forget the knowledge points I just memorized when I turned around.

But there is one gratifying thing. It has been a long time since the Justin Fenliery incident, and nothing similar has happened. Quidditch training has also temporarily resumed, but the game still has not been played.

I can occasionally run into Cedric in the hallway, but mostly when I'm in a hurry to get back to my dorm to work on my dissertation, so at most it's just a nod and hello, but I always feel like he has something to say to me , but it is also possible that I left too hastily and made a mistake. In short, there is not much intersection.

"Tilly!" Qiu pulled me for fear that I would bump into the pillar in front of him, "You've been working too hard recently, and you're not in such a hurry with these homework."

"I'm fine, Qiu." I was reading a new book borrowed from the library, "The homework is just for us to consolidate the content of the course, but it is far from enough for the knowledge we need..."

"Honestly, Tilly, there is something wrong with you." After returning to the lounge, Qiu stopped and faced me, "You have been very abnormal since Christmas, I mean you also like to read books, but Never... so desperately, you make me feel like you're going to eat all these books, did something happen?"

"No, Qiu, everything is fine." I said, "Okay, if there is nothing else, I will go back to the dormitory first."

Before Qiu could reply, I hurried away with the book in my arms.

After I went back to the room and closed the door, I slowly let go of the hand holding the book tightly.

What Qiu said is absolutely right, I am very wrong.

And all that was wrong was because I discovered my own little thought—a ridiculous little thought.

It makes me feel light without a sherbet drink, and makes me happy without strawberry shortcake.

I hate to admit it, but it's taking over my entire brain, and it's making me stop thinking, and even do things that are... not like what I normally do, which is weird and I don't really like it.

I used to try to accept it, but it just seemed to sink me deeper and deeper, no matter how hard I struggled, it was of no use, it was like I fell into a swamp with no rope.

I didn't tell Marietta or even Qiu about my thoughts, because I thought that after a long time, I might not think about it so frequently.

But the facts tell me that this kind of thinking is wrong, it has not weakened at all, but has become stronger.

In the Muggle novel Qiu gave me, it was written that Earl Narcissus was rejected by the person he loved, so he used wine instead of water, let himself get drunk every day, and did other things to divert his attention. Forget about that person, he didn't think about her every day.

I can't drink, but I can find other ways to divert my attention.

So I buried my head in the pile of books, and I wrote a lot of papers every day to fill my free time. When I was working hard to read and study, I didn't have the mind to think about anything else, anything, and it worked.

Tilly, are you running from something?Qiu is very sensitive. She discovered the reason why I was so unusual, but I put it off with the excuse of being stressed, and I told her that she would gradually get better.

...

Because of the temporary peace, I was able to go to the library again.

On weekends, I wake up when the sun just shone in through the cracks in the curtains, and lately I always wake up early.

Anyway, I can’t fall asleep, so why don’t I just go to the library and read a book, I sat up thinking about it, Qiu was still fast asleep, I tiptoedly packed my things so as not to wake her up.

Even though it was early in the morning, several people in the library had already sat down to study. I found my usual sitting position, put down my things, and walked between the bookshelves to find the books I needed.

The rows of books in front of me dazzled me, and it took me a while to find the book I was looking for.

But it was placed on the top shelf of the bookshelf.

I think I have grown a lot taller than last semester, at least those old clothes before have been shortened a lot, but it seems that I still have great potential.

I stood on tiptoe trying to make myself a little higher so that I could reach the upper floor, but I could only reach the bottom of it, so I gave up several times, and I finally decided to use the Levitation Charm-I originally wanted to get it by myself. down.

As soon as the soles of my feet hit the ground, the light above my head suddenly disappeared. The library was so quiet that I didn't even notice when there was someone behind me.

Although I didn't turn my head back, I could feel that he was very close to me. A few strands of my hair might have touched his clothes and made a slight rubbing sound. I didn't dare to move at all. I didn't know what he was going to do. .

Immediately afterwards, a book was placed in front of me.

"Is this the book you were looking for?"

The person behind him spoke, and when he uttered the first word, I already guessed his identity.

"...Thank you." I took the book and didn't look back, I wanted to just walk away with the book in my arms.

A hand across my face blocked my way.

"...Are you hiding from me?" The aisle between the bookshelves is very narrow, and the distance between me and him is only a few centimeters. Although I didn't see his face, I could feel that his tone was different from before. Her voice was hoarse, "I don't understand, Terelia."

"I didn't." I felt my mind was blank, I swallowed, feeling that the oxygen in this small space was almost running out.

"Then why don't you look up at me?"

I raised my head, and those eyes, which have appeared countless times in my dreams, came into my eyes. We are very close, as long as he lowers his head slightly, or I stand on tiptoe, our noses can touch each other. Together.

"...I can't walk, Cedric."

"Did I do something wrong?"

"No."

His eyes indicated that he would not give up until he got an answer, I sighed, it was impossible for me to tell him so bluntly that I was really avoiding him.

"I'm sorry, there are too many homework recently." I pointed to the book in my hand, "You know, Lockhart can't teach us anything useful at all, I can only learn by myself, Lian Qiu I recently Not at all with her."

As if he believed me, his left arm dropped, and he was the Cedric I knew again.

"Sorry, I was thinking too much." He smiled a little embarrassedly, "As compensation, why don't we study together? You can ask me if you don't understand... I am more confident in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. "

Uh... by studying together, does that mean he wants to sit with me?

It took me a long time to stop thinking about it, but a small move from him brought me back again.

The moment I saw him, I knew I had failed.

I never thought I would be so possessive, I wish he could just smile at me, I wish he could just look at me.

But this is simply impossible.

Reject him, Tilly, once you agree, everything will come to naught, but if I really refuse, doesn't it mean that I admit the fact that I am avoiding him?

"Did I embarrass you again? Sorry, I think as a friend at this time, I should help you write something. Those papers are really a headache."

friend?

Yes, as friends.

I can still stand by his side as a friend.

What's more...he said that I can stand by his side, although he may only mean as a friend.

At least I can see his smile.

"Thank you, Cedric, for helping me so much."

Cedric really knows a lot, and he can explain to me in a concise way what I don't understand in books. In less than one morning, I have finished writing three papers. My efficiency has never been so high before. .

"Sorry for keeping you with me for so long, you should have homework..."

"Don't say that, I'm a little unfamiliar with some of the content, so I'll just review it again." He packed everything into the bag for me, "However, you have already started studying the Patronus since you were only in the third grade. cursed?"

"Oh, I'm just interested," I said, "I figured a good paper would earn me extra credit."

"They're right, you're really learning all the time."

"them…"

"Some irrelevant personnel, you don't have to care so much." He picked up the things, "Then let's go?"

I followed Cedric out of the library, and we were going in two directions.

I feel amazing that something I've been trying to avoid for so long has changed my mind in just one morning.

I want to... spend more time with him.

"That's right." When he turned around, he suddenly stopped me, "If you have time next time, let's study together again?"

"But, you are unilaterally tutoring me..."

"Don't say that, you know a lot of knowledge that I don't." He pointed to one of the books I was carrying, "That book... I remember it was a textbook that was only needed in the fourth grade, right?"

I blushed, and I realized that Cedric had helped me carry the books all the way to the door, and I quickly took them, trying to hide the book away.

"Of, of course, let's learn together next time." I said hurriedly, causing me to stutter, "Then see you next time, Cedric."

After I finished speaking, I hurried away with my book in my arms. If I stayed any longer, I felt that I would not want to leave.

But, I know, I will no longer think about continuing to escape.
