This must be old news from an age long past; I turned on the computer to look it up.
According to the content of the article, I found the year, date, and archival number of the newspaper, and based on the number, I located the newspaper on the second level of the fifth bookshelf.
I handed the newspaper to him, then made a registration.
Jiayang took it from me and looked at me as he searched for the right words to speak, "How is it, are you busy?"
"You can see for yourself," I said, "I was actually planning to take a nap and have a siesta."
"Okay then, thank you, I'll be leaving first," he said.
"Oh, no problem."
Just as Jiayang left, I received a call from the Translation Office, summoning me over. I asked the senior translator for leave; he was busy cutting newspapers with a pair of scissors and, without lifting his head, said to me, "Go and come back early. If someone comes to borrow the newspapers, I won't be able to find them."
