Chapter 29

Carried her schoolbag and walked to the library.

The morning sun was not hot and a light breeze blew, very comfortable.

When she arrived at the library, Xiaoqi continued to choose English originals to read, and picked up a copy of "Diana: Her True Story".

It was an introduction of Diana's life, with English translations and photos.

Because she was struggling a bit with New Concept English Book 3, even with a memory buff, she still had to read it over and over again many times without understanding the meaning, so she still couldn't memorize it.

She chose this book because she liked Diana. Once at her school library she came across Diana's biography and was amazed.

Diana was so beautiful.

In the eyes of the young girl Xiaoqi, Diana's beauty was unparalleled, far superior to other celebrities or anything like that.

Xiaoqi at this age still didn't quite appreciate sexy and glamorous beauty, she preferred Diana's charm, fascinating but not flamboyant, dignified and elegant.

Plus there was a difference in status, royalty and nobility, which naturally felt different.

Especially the young Diana wearing jeans, sweaters, kneeling on the grass, leading her own pony, with short hair and a smiling face bathed in sunshine.

Radiant like an angel.

The later Princess Diana was like a pure white flower bud slowly unfolding, more and more beautiful every time.

The English reading material, Xiaoqi felt, needed to be interesting enough for her to read on, so next to this book she also placed an English dictionary.

She was very happy that the seat she had sat in last time was still empty since she had come early.

She put the book on the table and took out her notebook and water bottle and started reading.

Facing the window, she could still see the top of a tree outside, looking up to catch a glimpse of green.

She read while referring to the translation, and whenever she encountered a word she didn't understand, wanting to grasp the deeper meaning, she would look it up in the dictionary.

Time flew by quickly.

Reading transported Xiaoqi into the scenes of Diana's life as described in this book.

She was so elegant, beautiful and articulate that even after divorcing the Prince, she was still the most beautiful Princess of the British Royal Family.

There was a photo of her sitting in a large chair wearing a pearl white ball gown, head lowered, fallen asleep.

Just looking at the photo made your heart beat faster and voice turn softer, afraid to wake the sleeping princess in the picture.

The book introduced Diana's early life, her marriage to Charles, her life after marriage, the events she participated in, as well as the scandals of the last period of her life.

Xiaoqi read it with some struggle.

Some of the sentence structures were a bit long and tiring to read.

But she copied them all down, reading and reciting aloud as she wrote.

She felt she had gained a lot.

Not only in English knowledge, but also having witnessed the life of a beautiful woman.

At a time when her own husband was infatuated with another woman, one even older and far less beautiful than herself, Diana did not feel inferior or desperate. She lived her life to the fullest to the end.

This point Xiaoqi still didn't quite understand, but also kind of did.

There was still some sense of injustice in her heart.

She remembered the first time she read Diana's story, she was so angry she was fuming, thinking Charles was a scumbag, married and still longing for someone else's wife, and an older, uglier old woman.

But now, sitting in this bright library, Su Xiaoqi found herself thinking that next time she could read Charles' biography, as well as Camilla's.

Different people would have different perspectives.

If she read the biographies of everyone involved in the incident, found the commonalities and differences, it would probably be very interesting too.

With this thought, Su Xiaoqi suddenly realized that her mind seemed a bit brighter.

Originally when reading books and gossip, she would just believe whatever she read or heard.

When had she started having such strange ideas?

It must have been yesterday's class gathering that impacted her.

Those who came were classmates she was not very familiar with, or those she thought she was familiar with.

Compared to Liu Shaowei having a girlfriend, she was actually more bothered that Xia Zhen already knew, and seemed to be good friends with Liu's girlfriend, yet had never mentioned anything to her, not even when she excitedly gave Xia Zhen her new phone number to save.

Su Xiaoqi suddenly realized that her simple little world was actually also a bit complicated.

After finishing this book, Xiaoqi returned the books and dictionary.

Then she planned to look for some professional books.

The admission letter she received stated Information Management and Information Technology.

Since she had decided not to repeat a grade, she thought that even if it was just an ordinary university, learning was still her own business, and the four years of college life were hers too. She should take responsibility for herself.

She planned to look for some related books to see exactly what the major was and whether it suited her.

Her university enrollment was an adjustment, and she was even more clueless about the major.

Without figuring anything out, she had no idea what information management and information technology were.

The books in the city library did not seem very comprehensive either. She looked for half a day and saw many new media and communications, network social dividends, search world, etc....still quite confusing.

Uh, feeling lost about her college life.

In the end she found a book that looked readable to her.

"WeChat - Brand New Social World".

She had just started using it recently and found it seemed indispensable already.

Everyone was on it.

Liang Lady's Moments were updated with one or two posts every day, posting moods, eating and drinking, work content. She used WeChat to pay Xiaoqi's salary.

And the student she taught, Liang Jiajia, who was only twelve, incredibly had seven or eight Moments updates a day.

She would get excited about a single ant she saw.

Sometimes just one sentence, unhappy or something.

Auntie had WeChat too but rarely posted on Moments, but she could already video call her daughter Feifei.

And Auntie's daughter Cheng Feifei's daily life was also very lively, basically maintaining a pace of three Moments posts a day.

Typically starting in the afternoon, more posts at night.

Her former elementary school classmate Zhang Juan whom she met when going back this time, seemed to have taken over her Moments feed these days, almost ten posts a day, mostly product ads, videos, transfer and shipping records, a few were her life photos. If Xiaoqi didn't know Zhang Juan, she would have thought this WeChat account belonged to a millionaire young female boss.

The life records were also hanging out in various cars, traveling, and luxury goods.

But Xiaoqi felt Zhang Juan probably wasn't actually as well off as she claimed. If she really was that good, she wouldn't have needed to ask the village driver Dayong to wait for her last time. She could have just taken a cab home directly. Although a cab home wouldn't be cheap, compared to her shoes and bags it was nothing.

Front desk classmate Li Changhai's Moments, were all food related, either found online food recommendations or check-ins of the different restaurants where he was eating, giving the impression he was a professional foodie.

The class leader's Moments was unexpectedly all curly hair selfies after another.

Her roommate Xia Zhen's Moments had a bit of an artistic flair, capturing flowers, articles, occasional side selfies, petting cats.

As for Liu Shaowei...she didn't add him on WeChat, nor looked.

She added Brother Lin Min but he never posted anything.

In short, just looking at Moments was very interesting, different people showed different statuses.

It should be a worthwhile research subject.

Xiaoqi got the book and sat back in her previous seat, not noticing someone had sat diagonally across.

And that person diagonally across was thrilled.

He was the one who had casually posted a Douyin video, and unexpectedly it got a little popular with over ten thousand likes. His other videos only had likes in the double digits.

These days he came every day trying his luck, and actually hadn't seen the campus belle.

Just now he came again, thinking his luck was still bad.

Unexpectedly, the other party had come early, it was he who had come late.

He was extremely excited, secretly hiding behind a book, phone mounted on a holder.

He had specially bought one.

Seeing the other reading professional books, he instantly grew even more respectful.

As soon as Xiaoqi sat down, she heard the mechanical sound beside her ear: "Host is reading seriously, learning to see a relationship through the perspective of an adult, rewarded with one random study card, use it now?"

Xiaoqi really liked this system, affirming her every behavior and little progress.

Moreover, it was actually study cards for the biography of Diana, Princess of Wales. She felt that learning anything about the Princess would benefit her for a lifetime.

"Use."

"Host, do you want to learn the long distance running ability of Hugh Whitewell, Princess Diana's riding coach?" the system asked.

"Learn."

Su Xiaoqi thought to herself, this riding coach was a character who appeared in the last scandalous rumors about Princess Diana's biography. It was said that he was one of Diana's lovers, but he shamelessly betrayed Diana and published the book "The Princess in Love", smearing Diana and threatening her for money...

A person like this... should be able to run fast, right? If not, probably everyone in the UK would want to catch up to him and give him a beating.
