In the morning, the basement storage of the City Library once again welcomed its guest.
The Professor looked as hefty as usual. When Ai Qing arrived, he appeared to be reading something interesting, occasionally emitting a laugh.
"You're quite early," he said, closing his book upon seeing Ai Qing. "Did you not sleep? It seems last night's incident in the warehouse was indeed troublesome. I thought you would come in the afternoon."
"Too many trifles."
Ai Qing, who had not slept all night, looked even paler, but her expression remained calm. "It's better to solve it sooner rather than later."
"Coffee? Tea?"
"Coffee, double sugar, no milk."
"What a coincidence, I just got some good beans yesterday." The Professor happily took out his apparatus, and soon the aroma of coffee began to waft from the drip pot.
Shortly, a cup of coffee was placed in front of Ai Qing.
"Please enjoy."
