I am just an ordinary person! Why do you like me?

Shi Chenchen was observing the cover of the book that Yi Xingchen was currently reading. It seemed to contain some hypotheses about whether there were aliens in the universe.

She suddenly wanted to stand up and borrow a book to read, just to relax herself a little.

After all, she had already completed today's tasks, and she had originally planned to write the remaining test papers tonight and tomorrow.

Shi Chenchen stood up and saw Bai Chulan beside her, asking her where she was going with his eyes.

Shi Chenchen whispered, "I'm going to borrow a book and read it."

Bai Chulan nodded in understanding, and saw Shi Chenchen go to the bookshelf to look for a book, then lowered his head to continue doing his homework.

Shi Chenchen came to the bookshelf. This was the largest library in Y City. The number of books in this room alone was countless.

The books on this floor are all related to humanities, universe, and geography, which is exactly what Shi Chenchen is interested in.

Shi Chenchen was walking between the layers of bookshelves, and he saw the book that Yi Xingchen borrowed. There was an empty space in this row of similar books.

It is probably the book that Yi Xingchen just borrowed.

Shi Chenchen took out the book curiously, opened it and took a look.

It turns out that the whole book tells several hypotheses about aliens.

First of all, this book begins with an introduction to the topic of aliens.

Several famous hypotheses are introduced.

For example, there is the "Rare Earth Hypothesis", and Shi Chenchen took a quick look at it.

The theory is that the Earth is a lucky one in the universe, with precious water resources and a suitable climate, which allow life to take root and sprout again. The environments of other planets are all bad, so there are almost no other alien civilizations outside the Earth.

There is also a very famous hypothesis, the "Black Forest Hypothesis".

This theory holds that there are many civilizations in the universe, but some advanced civilizations choose to hide themselves and not be discovered by others, so we cannot discover alien civilizations.

The book also introduces many hypotheses, such as the "Great Silence Hypothesis", the "Great Filter Hypothesis", etc.

Shi Chenchen didn't check it carefully. She just glanced at it briefly and put the book back to its original place.

She continued walking slowly forward until she reached the back of the bookshelf and saw a book high up on it.

This book has a particularly attractive title - "Computer Simulated Universe"

Shi Chenchen suddenly became a little interested in this book.

But the book was on the top shelf of the bookshelf, and Shi Chenchen couldn't reach the book even if he stood on tiptoe.

Shi Chenchen was trying to stand on tiptoe and reach the book.

But she could only barely reach the shelves on the upper levels, but it was impossible to go any higher, let alone take the book down.

She turned around and saw a foot-operated rack for books placed by the window, and her eyes lit up.

She moved the shelf over and stood on it, and finally she got the book.

But the floor of the library seemed to have just been cleaned by the cleaning lady, and the floor still had the shine of water stains.

Shi Chenchen wanted to turn around and walk down the shelf, but the shelf didn't seem to be very non-slip.

Then the whole shelf slipped, taking her with it and tilting to one side.

Just when she thought she was going to fall to the floor, a pair of hands caught her.

Looking at this familiar coat, she recognized it immediately——

The person behind him was Yi Xingchen.

After Yi Xingchen let her go, he picked up the book she dropped from the ground and said softly:

"Are you okay?"

...

Yi Xingchen reads very quickly. In less than two hours, he finished the book in his hand.

Although he had read the theories many times, it was still useful to kill time.

He picked up the book and went to the bookshelf where it had originally been. There was a gap there, where the book he was holding in his hand had originally been placed.

Now he was going to stuff the book back into its place again.

But when he stuffed the book back, Yi Xingchen saw Shi Chenchen on the other side of the bookshelf through the gap.

The afternoon sun was shining brightly, and the wind blew through the slightly opened window, gently blowing up the moon-white curtains.

It also blew away the loose hair on the girl's forehead. When she was seen outside the library, her hair was still loose.

Maybe because she wanted to concentrate on writing the test paper, she tied up all her hair and made it into a bun.

The hair on her forehead fluttered in the wind, forming a very beautiful arc in the air, and the sunlight from the side outlined the girl's delicate and beautiful profile.

She stood with her back straight, her jaw smooth and delicate, like the fair and delicate skin of a white gentian flower.

Through a small vertical slit, he saw the girl opposite him quietly choosing the books she wanted to read.

In an instant, Yi Xingchen slowed down his breathing, and between the interweaving of light and shadow, it seemed that even time slowed down.

Her slender, soft white fingers ran across the spines of the books, and then she stopped.

She looked up, seemed to have selected a book, and stood on tiptoe, but still could not reach the book.

Yi Xingchen couldn't help but wonder in his heart, why is she so petite, as if he could pick her up with just one hand.

It was the same thing last time in the infirmary, when her arm was injured and she couldn't raise it high to get the bandage.

This time, the book was too high for her to reach.

The look on her face as she held the book seriously made people feel that she really needed help and protection at this moment.

Looking at the girl opposite who was struggling to get the book on the bookshelf, she then tilted her head as if she discovered something.

But Yi Xingchen walked around the bookshelf and stood at the end of it and found that there was another shelf next to the window.

The girl's figure was dimmed in the sunlight. She carefully put the shelf on the ground, then stood on it and finally took the book.

There was also a happy smile on her face.

But just as she was about to turn around and slide down the shelf, the shelf became unstable and she was about to fall down with it.

As the hair fell, it curved upwards due to inertia, appearing particularly hazy in the sunlight, and the girl's stunned face appeared in his sight.

As if she wanted to grab something, she still held the book tightly in her hand and refused to let go.

Finally, Yi Xingchen, at the moment she fell,

He caught her steadily.
