Chapter 46 Resignation
"Look, look, Xu Xi is back."

In the Baoan Road Public Library, a group of staff sitting in the office area began to whisper to each other when they saw Xu Xi walking in from outside.

"I guess he must be looking for that book-turner." The slender Tracy sat on the swivel chair with Erlang's legs crossed, and whispered to the director of the library who was drinking from a thermos cup on the side.

"It's still a guess, it must be." The director of the library lowered his head and took a sip of his tea, his eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses rolled, and he said in a low voice, "Xu Xi has been here for so long, only with that black man. Charcoal got along with this book-flipping madman, there must be something tricky in it."

"Tell me, will that black charcoal head start a mad fight over Xu Xi's flipping books?" Another male colleague working in the library joined the two of them excitedly.

Tracy touched his chin, sneaked a glance at Xu Xi, who walked directly to the book area after entering the door, lowered his voice, and analyzed in a serious manner: "Heitantou seems to be particularly domineering when he talks a few times, Xu Xi's temperament are you? I know, I don't have any temper at all, but I think Xu Xi and that book-turner might get along better, both of them are wood and can read books all the time."

"Hey, I heard the cleaning staff in the building say that the one who reads books every day also ate fast food with Xu Xi in the building." Another greasy middle-aged staff member added to the topic of several people.

……

"I never knew that your colleagues were so gossipy."

In front of a bookshelf in the book area, Yang Chu was flipping through a book titled "Posture Abnormalities and Musculoskeletal Dysfunction" in his hand, and said to Xu Xi who approached him without looking up.

"That's how ordinary people are."

Xu Xi stood beside Yang Chu, with a trademark shy smile on his face, and glanced at the book in Yang Chu's hand, "What has been learned has expanded into a new field?"

"I love the feeling of exploring the unknown so much."

Yang Chu turned the last page of the book in his hand, closed the book, and stood there with his eyes closed slightly.

Xu Xi looked at Yang Chu holding the book, stood there with her eyes closed, and didn't mean to disturb at all. She also walked to the bookshelf and slowly swiped her fingers across the books of different thicknesses, with a bit of complicated emotions in her tone. "These books have helped me a lot, but it's time for me to get out of here."

"What happened last night?"

Yang Chu slowly opened his eyes and put the book in his hand back on the bookshelf. In this short space, he had silently digested the contents of the book in his hand, and turned to look at Xu Xi who was stroking the books.

"Let's talk somewhere else."

Xu Xi retracted the fingers that rubbed the books, and suddenly took a breath, as if to clear up her emotions, and smiled at Yang Chu.

Yang Chu nodded, knowing that the library was not the place to talk.

After coming out of the book area with rows of bookshelves, Xu Xi gestured to Yang Chu again, "Wait for me."

Saying that, Xu Xi walked to the work area of ​​the library.

In the working area, several library staff members who were still whispering, after seeing Xu Xi coming, they all put on a busy work and pretended to be serious.

Xu Xi went straight to the director of the library wearing gold glasses, took out an envelope from the lining of his shirt, and handed it to the other party, "Director, this is my letter of resignation."

"Resignation letter?"

The middle-aged curator was obviously stunned for a moment. Before he could speak, the slender Tracy next to him stood up and exclaimed in surprise, "Xu Xi, you, are you going to resign?"

"Yes, Xu Xi, why are you suddenly resigning?" The director of the library was also puzzled and persuaded, "I told you that it is hard to find jobs on Hong Kong Island now."

"Xu Xi, our library has high labor and few things, which is rare."

"Yeah, why did you resign?"

Two other middle-aged male colleagues also gathered around, looking at Xu Xi and asking.

Their impression of Xu Xi is actually very good. They work with a good-natured man who has no temper. He is willing to help with any job, without fighting, robbing, or calculating. Such colleagues are really popular.

"Thank you for taking care of me all the time, and I wish you all the best in your future work!"

Xu Xi's face still had the shy smile of a good old man, but he did not delay at all. He placed the resignation letter on the library director's desk, waved to a few people, and turned and walked out.

"Xu Xi-"

The slender Tracy watched Xu Xi turn her head to leave, and suddenly couldn't help stamping her foot and shouting.

Xu Xi, who had already walked to the door of the library with Yang Chu, seemed to have heard the call, turned back and waved to several people, and left the door of the library.

"Tracy, do you like Xu Xi a little bit?"

After Xu Xi and Yang Chu left, the director of the library, holding the letter of resignation in his hand, looked at Tracy's appearance and asked in a low voice.

"I...I didn't."

The slender Tracy sat down with a bit of embarrassment in her voice, resting her hands on her chin and lying on the table.

"Let's go as soon as you go, and you have to put your eyes on the long-term."

"But you clearly put my feet on the ground..."

-

"Where?"

After coming out of the municipal building, Yang Chu asked Xu Xi as he looked at the busy scene outside the street.

Xu Xi glanced back at the floor of the Baoan Road Public Library upstairs in the municipal building, looked down at the only box of chess that was brought out in her hand, walked to the trash can on the street, threw it in, and then turned her head. To Yang Chu said:
"Go to where I live."

"Okay." Yang Chu agreed without hesitation.

The two came out of Baoan Road and walked all the way to the southeast.

Xu Xi's feet are very fast, and her physical energy is extremely abundant, and her walking speed is not inferior to that of professional race walkers.Yang Chu's physical fitness has also been greatly improved recently, so that he can keep up with each other.

Walking through the noisy or cramped streets, the two walked along Boundary Street and Wang Chiu Road to the old industrial area in Kwun Tong near the airport.

The ground is thick with coal ash and gravel, and the air is a bit more choking. High chimneys, thick steel pipes, messy scaffolding and iron frames can be seen everywhere.

In the sky, from time to time there is a loud noise from aircraft taking off and landing at Kai Tak Airport.

It seems that no one lives here. Except for the towering chimneys of a few distant factories, which are still smoking thick smoke, as if they have started construction, most of the factories are abandoned for no reason of relocation or closure.

Yang Chu doesn't feel much about the surrounding environment, but he can see that such a place is indeed a good hiding place for a person who may have a secret on his body.
