The four of them walked to the nearby library.
From its exterior, the building strongly resembled a national museum. The marble floors, the solemn and open atmosphere, coupled with the quiet ambiance, gave the entire space a serene and substantial feel.
Students and teachers with books to return. People waiting for the elevator to borrow books. And students who'd just come down the broad staircase, chatting quietly.
Everyone unconsciously kept their voices low.
Large signs forbidding smoking and loud noises hung on the walls.
On the left side of the main hall, there was a glass cabinet section that contained information about the library's floors, showing clearly what each floor was designated for, along with opening hours and various notices.
Du Xiaosheng and his group first went to the counter on the left to return their books before heading directly to the elevator on the right to wait with others for the next available ride.
