Su Xingwan couldn't help but complain about Shi Ling, but she also felt that Shi Ling had a point. "If the blue eucalyptus is really that poisonous, it would be best for the monkey to run as far away as possible."

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt Gu Xiuji glanced at her. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that Gu Xiuji's eyes were a little cold under his gold-framed glasses.

Gu Xiuji seemed a bit obsessed with this. He stared at Shi Ling and asked, "Shi Ling, what do you think is the relationship between the blue eucalyptus and the locust bird?"

Shi Ling was puzzled. "Huh? What's the connection between trees and birds?"

Yu Chen: "It's a relationship of reproductive isolation due to different species."

Luo Yuan, my deskmate who had just been diligently working on a biology question, looked over and enthusiastically replied, "I know! It's a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship! The eucalyptus globulus provides a habitat and breeding ground for the jaybirds. At the same time, the jaybirds pollinate the eucalyptus globulus by feeding on its flowers, which helps it reproduce and grow."

Shi Ling: "Ah yes, I think so too."

Gu Xiuji: “…”

He couldn't help but press his temples, looking at Shi Ling with a hint of helplessness. "I heard from Teacher Huang that you used to study liberal arts, didn't you? Why are you suddenly studying science?"

Shi Ling said seriously, "Because liberal arts taught me that science and technology are the primary productive forces."

Qin Zhan knew this: "Because my sister bought a whole set of comprehensive science questions for Sister Shi Ling. In order to avoid wasting money, since she couldn't get into university with a liberal arts degree, she simply chose to study science."

Gu Xiuji was silent for a moment, then said, "I have another strange thing."

Yu Chen said coldly: "Teacher Gu has encountered so many strange things."

Gu Xiuji smiled gently, "There are always things that science can't explain. Just like Yu Chen's silver hair and his strange condition that makes him sleepy all day long, isn't it?"

Shi Ling felt that the two of them were not on the same page and were about to get into a fight, so she hurriedly urged Gu Xiuji, "Teacher Gu, is there anything else strange?"

Gu Xiuji said, "The last time I went to Yuncheng Mental Hospital, I saw a potted plant in the ward. It seemed to be able to talk."

When everyone heard this, they were surprised and suspicious, and thought it was strange that the potted plant could talk.

Speaking of this, Shi Ling became excited. "Is it the succulent potted plant on the balcony of Ward 7? The nurse seemed to say it was called Jade Dew? I said it could talk, but the nurse insisted I was hallucinating. Teacher Gu, have you told them? You're a psychologist, too. They should believe what you say, right? What did they say?"

Gu Xiuji was silent for a moment, "Then they asked me to undergo a mental evaluation."

Shi Ling was a little disappointed: "...Ah, then what?"

"There's no problem with the identification. I also suspected that I might be too tired from work, so I had some auditory hallucinations, but later I rested well and went back to the mental hospital ward, and found that the potted plant could still talk. And..." At this point, Gu Xiuji looked at Shi Ling with a complicated look.

Shi Ling's interest was piqued, and she didn't even look at the thing that Yu Chen had dropped. She just stared at Gu Xiuji and urged, "And what?"

Yu Chen picked up the broken pen with an indifferent expression and stuffed it into the desk.

Gu Xiuji caught a glimpse of this and said to Shi Ling calmly, "Besides, that succulent mentioned you. It asked me, where is Shi Ling?"

Shi Ling was murderous: "How dare it mention me! Where is that succulent now? Is it still in the hospital? I'm going to pull it out."

Gu Xiuji shook his head. "I took that succulent away. I wasn't sure if it was a succulent, so I took it to the botanical garden and asked a professional. They told me it was a Peyote cactus, which has hallucinogenic properties." (End of this chapter)
