Now of All Times

After that day, Shen Li had indeed reined in her thoughts and spent more time in the library.

- Preparation for the mid-term exam.

Someone posted a photo on the school forum.

The morning sun was streaming in through the huge floor-to-ceiling window. The girl sitting by the window was wearing a black sweater with her hair tied up in a bun. The fine hair of her fringe fell over her forehead. She was resting her cheek on one hand with a pen between the fingers of her other hand. She was reading a book with her head lowered.

The sun shone on her, showing off her soft and lustrous black hair. Her skin was so fair and clear, that it almost seemed translucent. Her thick and curly eyelashes cast two small shadows under her eyes.

She was so focused and calm that she looked almost like a scene frozen in time in an oil painting.

[ Op: I'm so torn. Even this god of learning is so hardworking. What right do I have to lie down and do nothing? ]
