Chapter 9 Yiwen
The notebook at hand was filled page by page. When Shalan put down the last book, he put down his pen, stretched, and pinched his nose bridge with a little fatigue.
At this time, Shallan realized that the sky outside the window had completely darkened, and the lights on the ceiling of the seemingly empty Howard Library had been turned on since someone had no idea. The large number of lights made the entire library look like daytime even at night.
Looking up at a huge clock on the wall of the library, the time on it clearly showed 8:27 in the evening, which surprised Shalan. In his feeling, only an hour had passed at most, but he never thought that he had read for more than five hours.
"Are you surprised how quickly time flies?"
Turning her head, Shalan looked at the person who was speaking, and was slightly stunned. Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated by three points.
This is a girl who has a beautiful smile. Her mouth is neither too big nor too small, with an arc on it, revealing her white teeth. She looks three parts playful and three parts intellectual. Her high nose bridge supports a pair of round glasses, but it does not affect the beauty of her eyes as green as lake water. Although her hair is casually tied behind her head with a black ribbon, and even a few strands of hair hang down from her forehead, it does not make people feel sloppy and unfocused.
This is a perfect girl, Shallan thought to herself.
"Excuse me, what did you just say?" Sha Lan's face was slightly red. He had been with many women in his previous life, but he had never met someone who moved him like this. The throbbing in his heart was a feeling Sha Lan had never experienced in his previous life or this life. "You know, I just read a book for a long time, so I was a little dazed."
Hearing the second half of Shalan's words, which were almost an attempt to cover up something, the girl just smiled and said again: "I just said, are you surprised that time flies by so quickly?"
Taking a deep breath to calm herself down, Shalan nodded and said, "Yes, I was indeed a little surprised at the passage of time."
"Knowledge and books have such magical power. Unfortunately, we are about to close. If you still want to continue studying the Mansmei language system, I suggest you come back tomorrow."
"You also know the Mansmer language system?"
The girl chuckled and said, "Of course, the Mansmer language system is a language system that originated at the end of the Silver Age, but it is not well known. This language system finally became widely known in the Bronze Age, so generally speaking, many people think it is a language system of the Bronze Age. In fact, it is not. Specifically, the Mansmer language system originated from the end of the Silver Age."
When Shalan heard this, her face lit up and she said, "So you are also a scholar who has studied the Mansmer language system?"
"I can't say I'm a scholar. I've only read some relevant books. If you really want to learn this language, I suggest you take a look at these two books tomorrow: Mansmer Language and History, written by historian Ronald ten years ago, and Mansmer Language System and Modern Common Language, written by linguist Winston one hundred and twenty years ago. These two books are in a very remote place. You can look for them carefully. I believe they will be of great help to you."
After saying that, the girl put away the books on Shalan's desk and began to tidy up the bookshelf. Seeing her expression, Shalan knew that she was seeing her off, so she stood up, took her notebook and schoolbag and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, Shallan pursed her lips while holding her schoolbag, suddenly turned her head, looked at the girl, and asked, "Hey, my name is Shallan Weinman, what's your name?"
The girl turned her head and looked at Shalan, saying with a half-smile, "Isn't it a bit presumptuous to ask a girl's name so rashly?"
After a pause, Shalan scratched her head a little embarrassedly, nodded and said, "It is indeed a bit presumptuous, but you helped me, so I think I should know your name to some extent."
Hearing what Shallan said, Yiwen looked at Shallan, shook her head and said with a smile: "Okay, your reason convinces me. My name is Yiwen, Yiwen Grant."
"Ywen? What a nice name."
"I think so too."
They smiled at each other, Shalan let out a breath and said, "It's getting late, I won't bother you anymore, goodbye."
"goodbye."
Nodding, Shallan took her things and left Howard Library, and came to the car on the side of the road near the library. At this time, the driver had fallen asleep in the car.
After a gentle tap on the car window, Shallan got in the car and returned to the Werman Manor.
At this time, dinner at the Werman Manor had ended. When Shalan returned to the mansion, the butler who had been waiting there immediately conveyed to him that Rawl had asked him to see him when he returned.
"Grandpa Berman, the driver has been waiting for me for a long time and probably hasn't eaten yet. Please prepare ."
When the housekeeper Old Berman heard what Shalan said, he nodded in surprise, then smiled and whispered to Shalan: "Master Shalan, the Earl is a little dissatisfied with the fact that you did not come back for dinner."
"Thank you, Grandpa Berman. I was so engrossed in reading in the Howard Library that I came back late. I'll go talk to my father now."
"Oh! If it's about reading a book, I think the Earl wouldn't be angry if he knew about it."
After he finished speaking, the butler, Old Berman, looked at Shallan who turned and walked towards the Earl's study, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face. He could feel that Shallan was a little different from before. In the past, he would never consider a driver, and things like reading were even more out of his reach. However, this change was ultimately a good thing, and Old Berman was still willing to see all the children of the Werman family become successful.
Before arriving at Luo'er's study room with her schoolbag on her back, Shallan knocked gently on the door. When she heard Luo'er's voice asking her to come in, she turned the doorknob and walked in.
Seeing that it was Shalan who had returned, Luo Er put down the documents in his hand, frowned slightly and said, "Shalan, why didn't you come back for dinner today? I should have told you a long time ago that you must come back for dinner."
"Father, I'm sorry. I was looking up information in Howard Library after school. I was so engrossed in reading that I forgot the time. I won't do that next time." She took out a notebook from her schoolbag and placed it in front of Luo Er. She continued, "This is the note I wrote while reading. If you don't believe me, you can take a look."
