Chapter 171 Senior Zhou_1
"The library is teeming with people every day, so it’s possible that I didn’t notice you, Senior Zhou," He Zhilan said, but didn’t mention that apart from the people she knows, any stranger wouldn’t catch her attention. Her married status made her even less likely to pay extra attention to an unfamiliar man.
"You seem to enjoy reading a lot. I’ve seen you engrossed in books all in English a few times. I assume your English is quite good?"
At a small table near the stage on the first floor of the famous entertainment place in the capital - West Building, the lights flickered, and the clink of wine glasses never ceased. Astonishingly, He Zhilan and Zhou Hongjin began discussing their school studies in this atmosphere!
"Indeed, I do like reading original foreign books. It strengthens my reading ability and allows me to learn different expressions or phrases from these texts. Most of the time, working in the library is quite leisurely, therefore I have ample time for reading. As I am studying foreign languages, it’s useful to learn as much as possible," He Zhilan said, laughing shyly, "I’m counting on you, Senior Zhou not to tell the library manager that I’m slacking!"
Zhou Hongjin chuckled, his shoulders trembling with amusement at He Zhilan’s playful comment. He shook his head, "Don’t worry, I won’t. If I notice the manager approaching you, I’ll even warn you!"
"Thank you, Senior Zhou! Look, Zhou Chenyue and the others are coming over," He Zhilan said, her lips curled in a light laugh. In certain aspects, He Zhilan had an exceptional sensitivity. For instance, she picked up on the subtle hints in Zhou Hongjin’s speech and attitude that indicated his fondness for her.
However, Zhou Hongjin hadn’t said or done anything explicitly revealing, so He Zhilan could only pretend ignorance.
