Without a doubt, the new internet sensation was definitely Mist City Arts and Science University’s Book Ship Library. Luo Peng and Su Beilin had seen many pictures of it online.
Now they finally had the chance to witness this famed library in person.
"Yep, exactly." An Yujia nodded and, knowing that Luo Peng and Su Beilin wanted to visit the Book Ship Library, took them in that direction.
Along the way, An Yujia leaned closer to Luo Peng and whispered, "Xiao Peng, you coming alone would have been fine, but you even brought someone along."
"Eh? Sister Jia? You can’t really be unwelcoming, can you?" Luo Peng froze.
An Yujia burst into laughter and, covering her mouth, smiled, "How could I be? Principal Ding would be thrilled, thank you, Xiao Peng. It’s like getting two for the price of one."
Soon they reached the plaza in front of the Book Ship Library.
Seeing such a grand and majestic library, both Luo Peng and Su Beilin could not resist taking out their phones to take pictures. They took photos of the Book Ship Library and then selfies, even asking An Yujia to help take some for them.
This was the internet sensation, the Book Ship Library. They had to take photos, ’check in’ and leave a memory of it.
"Xiao Peng, once you guys start working at Feiyue Group, your work location will be around this campus. That means you guys can visit the Book Ship Library anytime you want."
An Yujia explained their situation to Luo Peng and Su Beilin. Why take so many photos now? An Yujia found it puzzling.
"Sister Jia, that’s because you’re out of touch." Luo Peng laughed, "Ha-ha-ha, ’checking in’ has to be done as soon as possible."
"You young people...sigh," An Yujia shook her head.
An Yujia was in her thirties, while Luo Peng and Su Beilin were still in their late twenties. They were indeed young from An Yujia’s perspective.
After taking pictures on the plaza, An Yujia took Luo Peng and Su Beilin towards the entrance of the Book Ship Library.
After showing her credentials to the library staff at the entrance, she introduced Luo Peng and Su Beilin to them.
The library staff nodded and agreed to let An Yujia bring Luo Peng and Su Beilin into the Book Ship Library.
Generally, the Book Ship Library was reserved exclusively for students of Mist City Arts and Science University. Outsiders who wanted to enter the library needed to apply in advance, and they were unlikely to be allowed in without prior permission.
The Book Ship Library, despite having over 10,000 seats, was very competitive for the university’s over 30,000 students.
If tourists ’checking in’ for pictures were also allowed in, wouldn’t that mean a certain proportion of library resources intended for students would be seized?
After all, this was Mist City Arts and Science University’s library, not a city or provincial library open to the general public.
"Brother Peng, this library seems to be of a higher grade than our Qinghua University’s library. And there are so many people!"
After entering the Book Ship Library, Su Beilin looked around and noticed that the first floor was crowded. Everyone was reading, either leaning against a bookshelf or sitting at a reading desk.
Even the three of them entering the library hardly attracted any attention.
Su Beilin believed his looks were quite decent, but it seemed that these younger students were more interested in their books!
"I’ve been to the Book Ship Library to read a few times. Frankly, it’s the one with the most conducive reading environment I’ve ever seen,"
An Yujia whispered to Luo Peng and Su Beilin beside her.
Since they were inside the Book Ship Library, even though they hadn’t reached the bookshelf area up ahead, An Yujia had already lowered her voice so as not to disturb anyone in the library.
