Su Wenxiu looked forward to his sister opening more factories. That way, he could broaden his horizons. He felt he was too much of a country bumpkin in the past but had learned a lot by following Su Binglan.

The duo overheard many conversations as they walked around. They also gathered plenty of information by doing so.

“It’s the weekend tomorrow. Let’s visit the library and do some reading.”

“All right, let’s go in the morning. If we’re late, we won’t be able to borrow certain books.’

“Yeah, so many people visit the library during the weekend. I see plenty of books there that we can’t get elsewhere.”

“The library belongs to Miss Su. She has gathered many books there to make it convenient for us to read.’

“l finally read the books I’ve looked forward to. I can’t explain how excited I was.”

“l heard even Prince Ruozhu donated some books to the library. The books come from the Deceased Royal’s Mansion. We can borrow and read them for free.’

“Prince Ruozhu is so kind to his people. I want to repay His Highness’s kindness when 1 make some accomplishments in the future.”

“Me, too! I heard those who perform well and study hard might even get a chance to work for His Highness.”

“No wonder everyone at the academy studies so intensely. They’re competing to get first place.”

The academy students were excited as they discussed the library. Everyone was eager to read there during the weekends. The library had a special meeting room, but people would have to make an appointment to use it.

After booking the meeting room, people could debate and discuss their studies with like-minded students. Everyone enjoyed the library’s learning atmosphere.

Su Wenxiu excitedly asked, “Sister, have you finished setting up the library?”

Since he was busy with the medical school, he could not pay much attention to such things.

Su Binglan explained, “The library and medical school were the first to be built. I knew many students liked reading but couldn’t afford to buy books. That’s why I built the library. Now, everyone can read there for free.

“I’ve received many books from all around the world, but I’ve also obtained some before the library’s completion. I then put one of my subordinates in charge of printing a few more in the factory. That way, everyone can read at their leisure.’

Su Wenxiu praised, “That’s perfect! Now people won’t have to buy books. It’ll save them a lot of money.”

“You’re right. Even commoners who had learned to read often visited the library. Still, there are rules. For example, no one is allowed to cause a racket and must treat each book with the utmost respect.

“They can’t leave the books unattended or write on them. If they need to take notes, there’s a notebook beside them for that purpose.”

Su Wenxiu wanted to visit the library as he listened to his sister’s explanation. He was also curious about what the environment in the library was like.

‘Where would everyone read? Is it similar to the medical school’s lecture halls?’

Su Wenxiu muttered, “1 wonder what it looks like inside.’

Su Binglan pointed, saying, “Wenxiu, look there. That four-story building is the library. As for what it looks like inside, you’ll know soon enough.”

Su Wenxiu looked up and realized how big the building was. Most considered a four-story building a skyscraper in that era. People saw it as a landmark, even from afar. The library’s structure was also unique and spectacular.

“Sister, what is that four-story circular building for?” Su Wenxiu realized the circular building was twice the size of the library.

“That’s a shopping mall that sells clothes, shoes, and some refreshments. However, the things there are more expensive than the things you can get outside,” Su Binglan patiently explained, “It’s spacious and bright inside.

You’ll know what I mean when we visit next time.’

Su Wenxiu had been too busy studying medicine and researching herbs, so he had not noticed some of the changes that had occurred in Su Teng Village. Still, he knew his sister had built many things.

“l have to take a good look around when I have time.”

“I’ll bring you to the mall now, Wenxiu.”

“That sounds lovely, Sister.”

As the two were about to head toward the mall, a pleasant female voice sounded, “Professor Wenxiu.’

Su Wenxiu tensed when he heard the voice. He even thought he had hallucinated. Although he had been in Yang County for a month, he was still highly familiar with this voice as it had entered his mind countless times.

Zi Die!’

Su Wenxiu thought he had misheard the voice because she should have been in school at that time. Zi Die was out shopping for books with her classmates when she approached and said, “Professor, you’re back.”

Although the streets and shops near the academy were new, they had already become popular. Whether it was the Blue Mountain Academy students or medical school students, they enjoyed coming here to buy school supplies. The paper the shops sold came from the paper mill. The paper was white and smooth, which felt good to write on. It was not as thin as other paper, either. Most importantly, it was cheap. Some papers emitted a faint fragrance, so people liked coming here to buy them.

Although the medical school was strict with its students, they could leave and buy things during their lunch break. It was not mandatory to eat in the cafeteria.

Zi Die came from a well-off family, and her parents gave her plenty of money. That was why she could come out to eat sometimes. There were many factories in the area, as well as a food street with various delicacies.

A month ago, Zi Die had confessed her feelings toward Su Wenxiu before he left for Yang County. She felt a little depressed, so she went for walks in the afternoon. She had not expected to see Su Wenxiu there.

Zi Die was ecstatic as she looked at him with sparkling eyes. Su Binglan also heard the voice and turned around, only to see a girl who was about thirteen to fourteen years old.

Zi Die wore her school uniform, looking clean and tidy. She was beautiful and exuded a youthful glow. Su Binglan thought the girl’s pure eyes were impactful. She saw the sparkle in the girl’s eyes and understood everything at a glance.

Su Binglan smirked and said, “Wenxiu, aren’t you going to turn around and look at your student?”
