Educating children is clearly not a simple matter.

Especially given that Carol seems to be "corrupting" the usually well-behaved Rekaya.

After giving the two girls a lecture.

Gu Xinghe finally had a moment to drink some tea again and savor the abundant tea snacks on the table.

Noticing that Gu Xinghe's tea cup was almost empty, Eiffel promptly refilled it with black tea.

Seeing this, Gu Xinghe looked up and smiled at Eiffel to express his amusement.

However, after performing this action, he turned his head again to look at Gu Xinghe on the round table.

However, they found that the atmosphere among the group had changed completely.

Several girls seemed to particularly enjoy watching Gu Xinghe being somewhat helplessly clung to by the youngest girls, Carol and Rekaya.

It feels somewhat like being a wife watching her husband interact with their daughters.

Therefore, until just now, everyone present was undoubtedly enjoying the interaction between Gu Xinghe, Carol, and Rekaya.

But now, just after Gu Xinghe turned his head slightly and then turned back again, things seemed to have changed drastically.

The girls sitting around the same round table no longer seemed to be looking at Gu Xinghe.

Instead, they started chatting with each other in pairs.

Even Lekaya, who tends to be rather introverted in front of strangers.

At this moment, he seemed to blend into the atmosphere of the crowd very naturally.

Although this seems to be the scene that a normal tea party should be like.

Moreover, Gu Xinghe was naturally very happy that everyone was able to get along so well and harmoniously.

But after all that had just happened, he felt that there seemed to be a "trap" somewhere in the scene and atmosphere before him.

So, Gu Xinghe began to observe the conversation pairs formed by the six girls in front of him.

The first pair to chat is Chris and Theresa, who don't seem like they'll get along at all.

Chris was imprisoned and sealed in the basement, a result of the Thorn Cult.

However, Teresa was the saint of the Thorn Cult.

However, the relationship between Theresa and Chris is not as strained and hostile as most people would expect.

As Gu Xinghe's companions, the two had actually spent a considerable amount of time together in their previous lives.

While Teresa appears to be a saint, she herself, who proposed the new doctrine, was also a victim of the Thorn Cult's actions.

The two are now discussing nothing but the overthrow of the Thorn Cult.

Therefore, Chris and Theresa, who were chatting at this moment, actually had the air of career queens.

Therefore, Gu Xinghe secretly referred to the chat group of these two people as the "career group".

If we consider the first group as the "career group," where everyone is diligently working on their careers even during a relaxing tea party...

The second pair was the "free-spirited" troublemaker group, which seemed to be the complete opposite of Chris and Theresa.

The members of this chat group are Sylph and Carol.

The main topic of the chat was how to tease Gu Xinghe and further intensify the "battleground".

Upon hearing this, Gu Xinghe raised an eyebrow.

In fact, if the consciousness currently in control of the body were not Mia.

The group might also include Mia, who is naturally free-spirited and adventurous.

The last two equally gentle and quiet girls, Lekaya and Mia, formed the [Art Group].

The two girls in the Art Group—Lekaya and Mia—clearly both love drawing.

Mia is a professional painter, and Rekaya has also painted promotional posters for Dawn Boarding School.

Gu Xinghe still remembered his first meeting with Rekaya, although her behavior was undoubtedly very dangerous—

She is a fragile yet terrifying being who whispers to other players, "Can my little bear eat you?"

But at this moment, she actually blended in quite well into the atmosphere of the conversation.

Perhaps it was because the subject she was discussing with Mia was precisely the subject of her painting, which she was most skilled at and confident in.

Or perhaps it's because she knows that the people sitting here are all very close to Gu Xinghe.

So now she finds that Mia, her idol, is completely different from how she acted just now, as if she has "returned to normal".

She also had a pleasant conversation with the other party.

However, every now and then, Rekaya also noticed Mia talking to her.

The words he speaks are somewhat different from the personality he displays.

During this process, Mia and Mia jumped back and forth between the "troublemaking group" and the "art group".

Six girls, three groups, two people in each group, a very even distribution.

But looking at the six girls in front of him who had already begun a pleasant conversation, Gu Xinghe felt—

Who am I? Where am I? Why am I here?

The next second, Gu Xinghe, somewhat belatedly realizing, discovered that he seemed to have been cruelly abandoned.

He lowered his head and touched the two dolls that Carol and Rekaya had just put in his arms.

I feel strangely like someone who's eating hot pot alone, with only a doll for company.

But thankfully, Eiffel still exists.

Gu Xinghe turned his head back and looked at Eiffel, feeling somewhat comforted.

In retrospect, everyone at this tea party had done their job quite well.

Gu Xinghe was in charge of "tea," the other girls were in charge of "talking," and Eiffel, who didn't join the conversation, was in charge of "meeting."

"Tea" refers to Gu Xinghe, who seems to be "excluded" from the conversations between pairs, and can only calmly drink tea.

"Talk" naturally refers to the very harmonious chats and conversations that the girls had in pairs.

The final "meeting" actually refers to Eiffel's skill in always finding the right moment to refill everyone's teacups or serve them refreshments.

Gu Xinghe, who was calmly sipping his tea, also had a somewhat helpless expression on his face.

He had expected to face an even more intense battle at this tea party, but instead he was met with the current "tragic abandonment".

Meanwhile, everyone looked at the somewhat helpless and aggrieved expression on Gu Xinghe's face.

The mood was even more pleasant and light when chatting with people in pairs.

After all, there's more than one way to create a chaotic battlefield.

Seeing Gu Xinghe's contrasting expression after all this teasing and flirting, isn't that proof of their success?

In reality, Gu Xinghe, who possesses the ability to read minds, has always known the real reason why the others have been teasing him from time to time since they gathered together.

But it was precisely because he knew this reason that he felt helpless.

Rather, he simply couldn't withstand the onslaught of so many people on his own.
