Su Cheng Wants to Find the Source

"Thud~"

Their collision sent the book tumbling to the ground.

Li Guanqi?

Upon recognizing the girl, Su Cheng immediately bent down to pick up the book and apologetically said, "Sorry."

However, just as he bent down and saw the book's title, he suddenly jerked his head up.

"Campus Strategy System"

By (Anime Is The Best)

He stared at the person in front of him with bewilderment and asked, "You?"

His eyes were filled with intense shock and disbelief.

How could this literary girl be reading such trashy, mindless books!

And it's even male-oriented fiction.

Something felt off no matter how he looked at it!

"Classmate Su Cheng."

Li Guanqi picked up the book, holding it close, and spoke expressionlessly, "Is there something you need?"

Su Cheng quickly regained his composure and asked the girl before him, "You read web novels too?"

"I came across it by chance," Li Guanqi said coolly. "If you have time, we could discuss it together."

At that moment, Su Cheng felt his sense of alertness suddenly tighten, warning bells ringing in his ears!

"May I ask how you got this book?"

Su Cheng inquired.

He wanted to extract the information from Li Guanqi.

Nobody at school would read this kind of thing, especially not in physical form.

The library wouldn't stock such books either, so he was very curious.

He absolutely couldn't allow this kind of thing to become popular at school.

If this book became popular, his previous strange behavior might catch the attention of the school's chunibyou and weirdos, and then he'd really be in trouble.

Better safe than sorry, so he had to take measures.

"The library."

Li Guanqi coolly uttered these three words.

Su Cheng's pupils constricted.

The library...

These words hit his heart like a massive boulder.

He was completely stunned!

The library... what was going on?

How could the library have such things?

This couldn't be happening!

"What a coincidence, I've been quite bored lately and haven't seen these kinds of books in a while. I'll go to the library to borrow one too."

Su Cheng quickly spoke up, appearing eager.

He pretended to be an enthusiastic web novel fan.

"Does Classmate Su Cheng like system novels too?"

Li Guanqi's eyes flickered slightly, then she opened the book and pointed to the system interface description inside, saying, "Like these stories where you get rewards for pursuing school beauties?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Cheng's expression instantly froze, because he had confessed to Li Guanqi before.

And she had also overheard him talking to himself.

If she made the connection, she might become suspicious of him.

Though the possibility might be small, it wasn't zero.

"I used to like reading them in elementary school, but haven't read much since starting high school because I've been focused on studying."

Su Cheng continued to explain, "But lately schoolwork has been lighter, so I can pick it up again."

"I see."

Li Guanqi said coolly, a glint flashing in her eyes as she nodded and slowly said, "Looks like we'll have something in common to talk about."

Hearing this, Su Cheng felt his hair stand on end, goosebumps rising all over.

As someone who actually had a system, discussing system novels with others felt... somewhat abnormal?

"Alright."

Su Cheng nodded in agreement.

"Then I'll head home now, see you tomorrow."

Seeing Su Cheng's agreement, Li Guanqi gave a slight nod and turned to leave.

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

Su Cheng responded.

Watching the girl's slender retreating figure, he inwardly sighed.

People's understanding is limited to their own scope of cognition, and now that Li Guanqi had read system novels, it meant she was aware of the existence of systems.

Although such things only existed in web novels, as the saying goes, better safe than sorry.

Especially since Li Guanqi possessed some strange invisibility ability, if one day her curiosity was piqued and she followed him.

She would definitely discover his special abilities.

Spatial powers - it seemed he couldn't use them at school anymore.

Su Cheng made this decision internally, then headed straight for the library.

However, what he didn't know was that around the corner, Li Guanqi was leaning against the wall holding her book, lips pressed together, eyes revealing deep thought.

Then, she too walked toward the library.

In the library.

As soon as he entered, he began observing everyone inside.

His gaze swept through once, not finding any strange bunny girls, so he turned his attention to the rows of bookshelves.

Fifteen minutes passed

He hadn't found a single web novel.

His expression grew increasingly grave as he seemed to be pondering something.

Li Guanqi had no reason to lie to him.

So he needed to ask the library staff.

During this time, his gaze continuously swept over all the library workers.

There were 11 staff members in total.

The elderly ones weren't in his consideration.

Because older staff had likely worked there for many years.

Web novels had never circulated in the school before.

So he needed to ask the new employees.

Thus, he stepped toward the circulation desk manager.

This was a woman, not over thirty.

Importantly, she was quite attractive, with her librarian uniform outlining perfect curves, and she wore a smile on her face.

But just as he was about to approach, he noticed two figures suddenly appear in the doorway.

His footsteps halted, and he grabbed a random book from the shelf to pretend to read, while his eyes remained fixed on the three people.

Zhao Yan, Xuan Ying, and the staff member.

They know each other?

His brows furrowed as he pricked up his ears to carefully listen to their conversation.

"Sister Qin, how did you end up working as a librarian at our school?"

Xuan Ying asked with delight in her voice.

"Yesterday while I was driving, I heard on the radio they were recruiting library staff, so I came over."

The staff member replied with a smile, "If I'd known the benefits were so good here, why would I have been driving a taxi!"

Zhao Yan also chimed in, "Are you used to it? Isn't it quite boring?"

The staff member smiled even more brightly: "This is much more comfortable than driving! When there's nothing to do, I just read novels. It's leisurely and pleasant, I don't mind this work at all!"

"Ah, so that's where the problem lies!"

Su Cheng, pretending to read nearby, gripped his book tighter, feeling somewhat displeased, but he continued eavesdropping on their conversation.

"Sister Qin, Sister Qin~"

Xuan Ying whined coquettishly, tugging at the other's arm.

The one called Sister Qin smiled and replied, "What is it, run into some trouble?"

"Well, I recently encountered this woman who can casually pull off dirty tricks without batting an eye!"

Xuan Ying said angrily.

"Really?"

Sister Qin's expression turned serious, curiosity blazing in her eyes: "Tell me more about it?"

Xuan Ying immediately leaned close to Sister Qin's ear and began chattering away.
