The hearing will be held in three days.

Andrew was now hiding from the hospitable old rogue.

In the apartment, Gu Chen carefully buttoned his shirt, and a new day began.

Today he is going to undergo a psychological evaluation. It is a course unique to him as a 'spirit' holder, and is conducted by his old friend Masashi Toyama.

In a sunny room with simple furnishings and a comfortable bench, Masashi Toyama in a white coat is sitting behind his desk, taking a pen to record something.

Gu Chen knocked on the door and went in. The old friend's original solemn expression suddenly melted away, revealing a very friendly smile.

"I've been back for a few days and I've been waiting for you."

"I've been busy with the investigation team lately." Gu Chen consciously found his place on the recliner.

Masashi Toyama shrugged, "If you can participate in the school board's decisions as a teacher, your promotion to professor will be a sure thing."

"Envy?"

"To be honest, a little bit."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

After Gu Chen lay down, he naturally put his hands in front of him, looked at the snow-white ceiling for a while, and then closed his eyes.

"How have you been feeling during this summer vacation, including recently?" Masashi Toyama kicked off the floor, sat in a chair and slid out from behind his desk.

"It's okay." Gu Chen said.

"You have to be more specific." Masashi Toyama said helplessly, "Just like we communicated a few times before."

Gu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Eat well, drink well, and be calm."

"I heard that you participated in an emergency mission?"

"Near miss but no danger."

"Did you use your word spirit?"

"No." Gu Chen added: "In fact, I have been paddling. Chu Zihang completed the task alone, with the help of people from the school engineering department."

"I can probably guess it." Masashi Toyama was not surprised.

Gu Chen opened her eyes. The old man was making a cup of jasmine tea. He smiled and said, "Close your eyes to help you concentrate."

"It's also good for sleeping." Gu Chen yawned.

"It sounds like you haven't been sleeping well lately?" Toyama Masashi blew the rising tea foam, and the rich jasmine fragrance quickly dissipated.

"You put in a little too much tea." Gu Chen said casually, "I sometimes suffer from insomnia."

"Why?" Toyama Masashi paused while sipping the tea.

In the past, Gu Chun had suffered from insomnia, but it was only for one or two nights, never 'occasionally'.

This was an unexpected phenomenon. Toyama Masashi tapped his finger lightly on the table, looked at the record file at hand, and pondered for a moment, but still nothing was written.

Gu Chen was also thinking about the reason for his insomnia. It seemed that it started from that night in the Chicago hotel. It wasn't that he would have random thoughts while lying in bed, but that he couldn't fall asleep even if he closed his eyes.

"It seems you have found the reason." Masashi Toyama said.

Gu Chen shook his head.

"What about your love life?" Masashi Toyama asked.

"You've never asked this before." Gu Chen said in surprise.

"Because some classmates reported that you are very close to a beautiful freshman and often have meals together." Masashi Toyama touched his chin with an expression that he wanted to hide but could not hide his gossip, "Love is an invisible killer.

It affects your judgment and spirit."

"Stop it, stop it." Gu Chen opened his eyes and said angrily: "The more you talk, the more distorted it becomes."

"I hope so." Masashi Toyama smiled and wrote today's date on the record file, "Mission accomplished."

Gu Chen was still lying there and didn't get up.

"Aren't you going?" Toyama Masashi asked doubtfully, "Usually you should just run away."

"I want to rest for a while." Gu Chen looked at the ceiling, which was brightly illuminated by the sun, "I suspect that you had a hypnotic drug in your tea."

Masashi Toyama looked at the figure who was breathing steadily, closing his eyes and gradually falling asleep, carefully closed the record file, put it in the drawer, and then walked out of the office quietly.

…

Gu Chen was woken up by the phone. It was already noon, and Xia Mi asked him to have dinner.

As soon as I left the teaching building, I saw a slender figure sitting on a bench on the roadside.

The warm sun was shining on her body, and the sweet-scented osmanthus was in full bloom. She was wearing a white shirt and a school uniform skirt, looking down at her mobile phone. Her long chestnut hair hung down by her ears, giving her a demure and gentle look that has passed through time.

Gu Chen walked over there and said hello, "What are you looking at?"

Xia Mi raised his head and smiled calmly, "I saw that the forums on the school network are saying that Caesar proposed to Chen Motong."

"Really?" Gu Chen was startled, but this can be regarded as a matter of course. When a boyfriend and girlfriend develop into friends, it is common for them to propose marriage.

"What a talented man and beautiful woman." Xia Mi pressed her skirt, stood up and said, "Please help Lu Mingfei's psychological shadow at this moment."

Gu Chen was stunned: "How do you know Lu Mingfei likes Nono?"

It's understandable that a veteran who has been hanging around forums all year round would notice clues. How could a freshman who had just entered school a few days into the school spy on such a big gossip?

"Nono? That sounds so kind." Xia Mi grabbed his thin white wrist behind his back and raised his chin, "I am very popular among the freshmen, and there are always some people who are naturally keen on news and gossip, and there are also

Seniors who are good teachers, so you know."

As she spoke, she looked at the people around her with a smile, "A girl like Nuonuo with long legs, thin waist, and cheerful personality should be liked by many people, right?"

"That's right." Gu Chen still agreed.

Xia Mi's smile suddenly faded.

Gu Chen hadn't noticed yet and was still continuing the topic, "I think Lu Mingfei will not be in a good mood. He may not even be able to eat."

Xia Mi curled his lips, then suddenly saw something, and exclaimed, "Is that him?"

Not far away, two figures with arms around their backs were striding into the cafeteria. They were Lu Mingfei and Fingel.

"In a bad mood, no appetite?" Xia Mi smiled, "But it looks like he is going to eat up the canteen!"

"Turning grief and anger into appetite?" Gu Chen was also unsure.

"We'll find out if we go over and take a look." Xia Mi patted his arm and walked briskly ahead.

The gentle breeze blew, and the sweet-scented osmanthus blossoms rose and fell on both sides of the Yong Road. Gu Chen watched the girl with long flowing hair walking farther and farther with her hands behind her back. She couldn't help but slow down her steps, and her eyes were a little lost in thought.

"Why are you in a daze?" Xia Mi looked back at him.

"No." Gu Chen scratched his head, "I'm thinking about what to eat later."

"Ramen, rice bowl, dumplings?" Xia Mi sighed old-fashionedly, "You've always been the third child, so there's nothing to worry about."

"I want to taste your taste today." Gu Chen said.

Xia Mi's eyes lit up, "Are you sure?"

"Yeah." Gu Chen also wanted to change something.

"Then listen to me." Xia Mi waved to him and ran to the cafeteria impatiently. Then seeing that he was still so slow, he hesitated in small steps whether to go directly and grab his hand.

Fortunately, Gu Chen trotted over.

"I will order something super spicy, can you handle it?" Xia Mi finally asked.

"Try it." Gu Chen was fearless.
