Fang Songzhao suddenly realized: "So, you can hear it talking because it causes hallucinations? It's all an illusion?"

"impossible!"

Shi Ling said bitterly, "I don't believe it! No matter how hallucinogenic I am, there's no way I could hallucinate plants singing when I'm about to die! And the singing of those things is so devilish and out of tune!"

She asked Gu Xiuji murderously, "So where is that cactus that looks like a succulent? I want to kill it!"

Luo Yuan's eyes lit up: "I'll help you kill it!"

Whatever she raises will die!

Shi Ling nodded, "Okay!"

Gu Xiuji: "It's at my house, on the balcony. If you want it, I can bring it to you someday."

"No, I'll go with you to get it after school!" Shi Ling couldn't wait to kill it.

Another pen that Yu Chen was spinning between his fingers broke.

He looked at Shi Ling, slightly disapproving, but hesitated to speak.

He had no right to stop her.

Gu Xiuji curled his lips slightly, "Okay."

…

On Friday, as soon as get out of class was over, Shi Ling ran to the school clinic.

Yu Chen hesitated for a long time and was about to call her, but before he could open his mouth, she disappeared.

He crumpled up the draft paper in a slightly irritated manner. A person's name was written among the densely packed formulas, all of which were obsessions that he dared not express out loud.

He stuffed the paper ball into the corner of the table, which was already full of paper balls, and then chased after Shi Ling's back.

Psychological counseling room.

Gu Xiuji had just finished counseling the last student he had scheduled when he saw Shi Ling knocking on the door. He smiled brightly, "Shi Ling, you're here."

Shi Ling rubbed his hands, "Teacher Gu, let's go to your house to get some succulents."

"Okay." He chuckled and took Shi Ling to the parking lot.

But he saw Yu Chen standing next to him in the parking lot.

Gu Xiuji's smile gradually faded. "Why is Yu Chen here too?"

Yu Chen held his carriage, covered his lips with his hand, and coughed lightly. His face was as pale as snow, and he looked so sick and weak that it made people feel sorry for him.

He said softly, "Teacher Gu, my driver is out to pick up Grandpa. It's snowing heavily on the road, so I'd like to get a ride. Is that convenient?"

Gu Xiuji wanted to say it was inconvenient. But he was currently a psychology teacher at No. 1 Middle School. It was his duty to help his students.

Shi Ling looked at Yu Chen, the sickly beauty, and was afraid that he would die here. "Teacher Gu, why don't you take Yu Chen with you? My house is pretty close to his."

Gu Xiuji frowned slightly, "Very close? I remember you left home and lived on your own, didn't you?"

Yu Chen: "Shi Ling is now Mr. Jing's adopted granddaughter. Our two families are old friends."

Gu Xiuji's grip on the car keys suddenly tightened, and he chuckled inaudibly, "Old friends, huh?"

Yu Chen: "Yeah. We almost got married."

Gu Xiuji stared at Yu Chen with cold eyes.

Shi Ling looked up at Yu Chen in confusion, "Were you married to Jing Huanhuan before?"

Gu Xiuji burst out laughing.

Yu Chen explained to Shi Ling in a panic, "No! My mother and Elder Jing's daughter were almost arranged to be married, but it was called off because they were same-sex. I've never had any arranged marriages in my lifetime, and I've never spoken to her."

Shi Ling suddenly realized: "Oh."

Yu Chen stared at Shi Ling's face, trying to see some other emotions, but unfortunately there were none.

After a while, Shi Ling suddenly said, "Fortunately."

Gu Xiuji frowned slightly.

Yu Chen's cold eyes lit up slightly, he coughed lightly and asked, "Do you feel good?"

Shi Ling nodded without hesitation: "Yes. Otherwise, if you get a psychopath, you'll be in trouble too. Well, come to think of it, I'm a psychopath too."

Yu Chen: "You are different from her."

If that psychopath was Shi Ling, he would be willing to be tortured.
