Brush Up Your Proficiency

And so, the two walked shoulder to shoulder, chatting idly as they ascended to the third floor.

Back in the office, Wang Hao, as usual, began his reading time.

However, Cheng Yufei, seeing Wang Hao about to immerse himself in his book again, initially intended not to disturb him, turning to return to her own office.

But when her gaze inadvertently swept over the old, yellowed book in Wang Hao's hand, filled with an antique charm, a strong sense of curiosity welled up in her heart.

Especially the lines of text on the book, mysterious and unpredictable like ancient ruins, made her even more surprised, as if only those old antiques who had experienced the vicissitudes of time would study such classics.

"Wang Hao, why do you like reading this kind of book? And what kind of book is this? Why does it look so old?" Cheng Yufei asked, her face full of suspicion.

Wang Hao carefully turned the yellowed pages in his hand, as if afraid of damaging the precious ancient book, and said softly:

"This ancient book was specially given to me by Li Nan's parents, it's really good! I'll lend it to you to appreciate it when I'm done reading it."

After several days of study, Wang Hao had already read more than half of the first volume of "Lao Zhuang".

As he read deeper, he more profoundly realized the vastness and profundity of the knowledge contained in the book, which was as breathtaking as an boundless ocean.

Those exquisite words were like dazzling pearls, the more he chewed them, the more he could appreciate their endless charm, even making him unable to stop, immersed in them and unable to extricate himself.

It seemed that the ancient sages had long discerned the myriad phenomena of the world, condensing the crystallization of wisdom and the inner feelings of that era into these vivid pictures, quietly waiting for future generations to explore and experience.

However, when Cheng Yufei heard Wang Hao's words, she unhesitatingly waved her hands repeatedly to refuse.

She thought to herself: What a joke! Such an ancient and difficult-to-understand classical Chinese book would give me a headache just by looking at a few lines, how could I possibly take the initiative to read it?

"Don't, my heart can't take such a shock, Wang Hao, are you even a normal person? You actually think this kind of ancient book is good-looking, and you even want me to read it."

Cheng Yufei muttered, while subconsciously lowering her head, her eyes falling on the simple and vigorous characters on the cover of the book.

Then, she continued to exclaim: "Oh my, it's actually a book like 'Lao Zhuang'! One word can have a hundred meanings! Please let me go!"

Cheng Yufei's voice was full of exaggeration and horror, as if the book had suddenly turned into a ferocious monster, baring its fangs and claws and pouncing on her.

While shouting, she flusteredly wanted to escape from this place, as if afraid of being caught up by the book.

Wang Hao watched Cheng Yufei run away like a frightened rabbit, and couldn't help but laugh.

He knew in his heart that he couldn't blame Cheng Yufei for overreacting.

After all, for most people, philosophical works like "Lao Zhuang" are indeed too profound and difficult to understand, simply a book from heaven.

Thinking back, if someone had asked him to read such a book in the past, he might have fled like Cheng Yufei.

Looking at the tightly closed door, Wang Hao smiled helplessly, then shook his head gently, and refocused his attention on the book in his hand.

At the same time, Cheng Yufei, who had walked out of the room, was hurrying towards her own office with light steps.

At this moment, Li Nan happened to walk towards her. When he noticed that Cheng Yufei, who had rushed out of Wang Hao's office, was in such a disheveled state, a strong curiosity arose in his heart.

Afterwards, Cheng Yufei picked up her water glass and took a few big gulps, and then told Li Nan the whole story from beginning to end.

After understanding the truth of the matter, Li Nan couldn't help but let out a crisp and melodious laughter, like a silver bell, while laughing, she teased:

"No wonder you showed such a terrified expression, Feifei. It turns out that Wang Hao has transformed into a Chinese teacher, hahaha."

You should know that Li Nan and Cheng Yufei are good girlfriends who have known each other since childhood and grew up together, and the two are inseparable in school.

Therefore, Li Nan is well aware of Cheng Yufei's fear of classical Chinese.

After listening to Cheng Yufei's narration, she immediately understood why Cheng Yufei had reacted that way.

"You're still laughing at me, I'll let you laugh, let you laugh." Seeing that Li Nan dared to laugh at her, Cheng Yufei started to tickle Li Nan.

The two played around for a while before calming down.

Through the conversation, Li Nan also told Cheng Yufei about the origin of this book, and after learning about the value of this book, Cheng Yufei sighed.

Recalling that Wang Hao had just picked up such a valuable book and started reading it, she thought that ignorance is really fearless, people usually treasure this kind of valuable books.

But Wang Hao was good, he just picked it up and started reading it, and brought it here and there, which made the carefree Cheng Yufei a little admired.

When Li Nan heard Cheng Yufei's sigh, she said indifferently: "What's the matter, books are meant to be read, and Wang Hao being able to like reading it so much is also considered to have found a good owner for these books."

Since Li Nan discovered that Wang Hao had a refined temperament, she guessed that he was a person who liked to read.

Later, after her parents gave the set of "Lao Zhuang" to Wang Hao, she didn't expect that Wang Hao would really like to read such books.

But judging from Cheng Yufei's performance just now, he obviously really got into it, which made her feel that Wang Hao was a person with inner depth, and even could understand such difficult books.

She has been studying for so many years, and she feels quite strenuous when reading "Lao Zhuang", and most of the time she only has a superficial understanding, and she can't generate much desire to continue reading.

But Wang Hao can read it, and he likes it very much. He has to read it during the time before starting business, which shows that he really loves it. From this point, Li Nan has a new level of respect for Wang Hao.
