" Don't bother me usually. Don't make a scene in the yard at night. I'm going to plant flowers in the yard. You're not allowed to…" Ye Meng was ready to set a bunch of rules for Qi Lu.
"Ye Meng." Qi Lu interrupted her." Lord Zhang is waiting for you in the archives! We have plenty of time for these private matters."
Ye Meng finally remembered the important matter and decided not to argue with Qi Lu for now.
Looking at Ye Meng's back as she left, Qi Lu could not understand why he was so devoted to her! It was fine if she wasn't touched, but why did she hate him so much? Was it because he wasn't handsome enough, or because…she really hated him?
The answer was naturally no. Asking Ye Meng would only get him scolded. In just a few days, Qi Lu had learned Ye Meng's fiery temper. This was the real deal.
Of course, Ye Meng didn't know about this. She walked along the path into the archives room. It was a little cold but very dry inside. Because all the files were stored in paper, it was necessary to set fire to them. This was why there was a large water tank filled with water at the door.
Miss Ye, you're here." Lord Zhang stood in the hall and said.
Ye Meng nodded." Lord Zhang, you don't have to be so polite. Just call me Ye Meng."”
Lord Zhang stroked his beard and nodded."Do you blame me for not working as you wished?”
Ye Meng smiled openly." How can I complain? Lord Zhang, you trust me and are willing to give me a chance to earn money. I should be grateful."”
Out of habit, Lord Zhang wanted to pat his subordinate's shoulder, but because the other party was a woman, he retracted his hand that was suspended in mid-air and only said,"Someone once infiltrated the government office and wanted to take something away from here. Although he did not succeed, when he found out, the files here were already in a mess. Although he got someone to clean them up later, the order was messy.”
Ye Meng thought for a while. Usually, they would sort the files by type or by the first letter of the syllable. However, the syllable had only been invented in the modern era. It was not practical to use it in this era. The specific method could only be determined by looking at the contents of the files.
"Lord Zhang, don't worry." Ye Meng smiled confidently.
Lord Zhang saw that there was nothing much to tell him, so he left.
It was extremely quiet in the archives, and it was easy for Ye Meng to recall her life in the laboratory.
Although it was only a few days, Ye Meng hoped that it was just a long dream. When she woke up, she found herself sitting in the laboratory. It turned out that she had fallen asleep while waiting for the bacteria to grow in the petri dish. Even if the experiment failed, she would not be particularly sad because at least she still existed.
Ye Meng sat on the chair in silence for a moment. She didn't need to hide her weakness with her fiery temper here. Ye Meng wasn't invulnerable. She would be afraid of everything that was unfamiliar to her.
Ye Meng stood up and shook her head. She didn't dare to sit there and let her imagination run wild. These pessimistic emotions would swallow her up, and she couldn't collapse.
However, when she looked around, there were a total of twelve bookshelves in the archives, slowly piled up with all kinds of documents. This made Ye Meng feel a headache after a moment of confusion.
Money wasn't taken for nothing. This really required strength!
Ye Meng stayed in the archives for the whole day. It wasn't because she sacrificed her rest time for work, but because she was obsessed with the files.
She realized that there had been so many unsolved cases in the government in recent years. Even now, there were still unsolved cases. She could not help but doubt the government's ability to handle cases.
" It's a pity that I can't see the corpse, and its description isn't detailed enough..." Ye Meng muttered to herself as she flipped through the pages, but her brain refused to give up thinking.
"Let's put it aside for now.”Ye Meng thought so. Then, she sorted out the other files. She looked at them carefully and felt that it might be the best way to classify them according to the year.
After tidying up for the entire day, Qi Lu did not see the lights on the other side of the room even when it was dark. He did not even see her come out of the archives at noon. He really did not know what she was doing inside.
He had already finished work, but Ye Meng was still nowhere to be seen.
Qi Lu was restless for a long time before he decided to take a look at the archives.
In the blink of an eye, it was already dark. Qi Lu approached the archives and realized that the candle was still lit. Ye Meng had not left yet. Qi Lu wanted to go in and persuade Ye Meng to rest, but he thought about it and realized that Ye Meng would never listen to him.
Hence, he stopped for a moment and left.
In the room, Ye Meng had no idea. She just sat on the chair and stared blankly at the files of the pending cases. After a while, she suddenly heard footsteps and looked up to see Qi Lu.
"Let's eat the noodles first. I remember you said that this restaurant's noodles were delicious last time.”Qi Lu walked up to Ye Meng with a bowl of noodles in his hands.
Ye Meng was stunned. She sat on the chair and stared at Qi Lu blankly.
Qi Lu placed the bowl on the table and smiled.""No matter how busy you are, you have to eat, right? I'm just afraid that you'll be starving. I don't have any ulterior motives towards you.”
Ye Meng gritted her teeth and threw the file aside. She picked up her chopsticks and started eating her noodles. She had not eaten for a day and was so hungry that she could not feel her stomach. Now, she only felt the warmth in her stomach and her heart.
However, Ye Meng didn't show it on her face. She just ate her noodles without saying a word while Qi Lu just sat at the side and watched quietly.
Under the dim yellow light, this scene was particularly heartwarming.
"Why are you looking at me? How am I supposed to eat noodles!" Ye Meng finally couldn't take it anymore and yelled at Qi Lu, breaking the warm and fuzzy scene. In Qi Lu's eyes, the candle flame had turned a calm blue.
"Ah! Me? " I'm not looking at you. I'm waiting for the bowl…I'm going to return the bowl after you finish your noodles…" Qi Lu explained weakly. He tried his best to explain, but Ye Meng gave him a cold look and then ignored him. She lowered her head and continued eating her food.
Qi Lu didn't care whether Ye Meng was looking at him or not. He kept a smile on his face. He thought that if Ye Meng looked up and saw his elegant demeanor, she would change her mind. Wouldn't that be a good thing for him?
However, Qi Lu had neglected one thing. Ye Meng's heart and mind were not with him.
Ye Meng didn't know what he was thinking. She lowered her head and only focused on eating, and her mind was only thinking about the various cases in the file.
When she returned to her residence at night, Ye Meng felt that she had been too tired today as she lay in bed. However, she seemed to understand why Lord Zhang had arranged for her to stay in the archives. It was her first time handling a case independently, and she had been too rash and used too much strength. In the end, she had almost screwed up the case. She had to admit that she had relied on luck this time...
Ye Meng fell asleep as she thought about it.
The next morning, Ye Meng went to the streets with some silver. She hadn't received her monthly payment yet, so she borrowed some from Qi Lu. If she wanted to live here, two sets of clothes were far from enough.
Life required more necessities.
There was a commercial street in Ningzhou City. Ye Meng went to the street alone and bought some daily necessities and daily clothes. When she was about to leave, she was attracted by the antique shop at the corner of the street.
Although Ye Meng wasn't interested in history, she was still curious about antiques. She used to think that there were too many fake goods in this kind of shop. Now, she felt that even if the things in this shop were fake, they would become antiques in the future.
This was the effect of a person from the future looking down on history from a high place.
Since it was still early and Ye Meng wasn't tired, she went in to take a look.
There were many things in the shop, including all kinds of porcelain, jade, and ancient paintings. However, what caught Ye Meng's attention was a painting.
The paper was slightly yellow. It was indeed a little old, but it was not an antique.
There was a man in the painting. He was standing on a tall rock, wearing an elegant green-blue Daoist robe. He looked like an immortal, but he didn't look very old and was very good-looking.
"Who is drawn in this painting?”Ye Meng walked over and asked.
The owner of the antique shop was an old man with white hair and goosebumps. As he kept the accounts, he looked up at Ye Meng and said,""There are so many things in my shop that I can't even count them. Most of them are old objects. After I found them, I can only judge their age, material, and value, but I don't know the story inside.”
Ye Meng couldn't help but take another look and muttered to herself,""His looks are so good that they should only be in the sky. He should be an immortal from a mythical story!”
The boss put down the pen in his hand and smiled."Miss, you're wrong to think that way. I've appraised this painting. It's only been thirty years, so it can't be considered an antique. At most, it's an old object. The man in the painting should be from another country.”
Ye Meng took a look and saw that the man's eyes were bluish purple.
"Caucasian? Or perhaps they have their bloodline." Ye Meng muttered to herself as she folded her arms and looked at the painting.
"How much?" Ye Meng really liked this painting. She had bought a lot of posters of Western celebrities when she was in middle school. Now that she had finally found something that suited her, she naturally wanted to keep it for herself.
"If it was someone else, they would sell it for one tael of silver. Since you like it, take it for thirty wen!”the boss said straightforwardly.
Ye Meng paid the money without hesitation. Thinking about how empty her place was, it wouldn't be too much to hang a painting.
The morning shopping time was over. Ye Meng happily carried her " loot " back to her residence.
Perhaps because Ye Meng was walking too fast, she didn't see the person walking towards her. The two of them crashed into each other and fell to the ground.
"Don't you have eyes when you walk?" Ye Meng gritted her teeth and sat up. She opened her mouth to curse, but was shocked by the scene in front of her. The man who knocked her down was the man in the painting in her hand!
