Gu Shi didn't expect to meet Li Hui here by chance. After being surprised, he shook his head and said, "No, I just know you."
Wang Feng pointed at Gu Shi and said with a smile, "Li Hui, didn't you just say you wanted to see him? This is Gu Shi."
"So you are Gu Shi!" Li Hui immediately smiled sincerely. "Everyone else told me what happened before. Thank you so much for helping me."
Gu Shi was a little confused. It seemed that he had not done anything to help Li Hui.
So Gu Shi quickly refused, "No, no, I just told Captain Wang about my encounter with you. Your safe return is all thanks to the school and the college."
Li Hui understood this, but he was still very grateful to Gu Shi. "If it weren't for you, the school wouldn't have noticed my abnormality so quickly. Maybe I would have disappeared without anyone noticing."
Although Li Hui had no memory of the period when he was controlled, this made him even more terrified.
In Li Hui's eyes, he had just had a normal sleep, but when he opened his eyes, he was suddenly told that he had skipped a long period of time.
This experience was truly horrible.
Gu Shi waved his hand, "It's not as serious as you say. Even if I wasn't there, someone else would definitely notice something was wrong."
Listening to Gu Shi and Li Hui's polite remarks in front of him, Wang Feng quickly became impatient. He waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Alright, alright, if you two keep doing this, get out. It's giving me a headache."
"Feel sorry."
"sorry."
Gu Shi and the other man apologized together.
Wang Feng looked at Li Hui and said, "I'm already clear about the matter you just mentioned. As for the result, I will inform you in seven days at the latest. Just go back and wait."
"Okay, thank you. I'll be leaving now."
After Li Hui finished speaking, he walked out of the office.
Wang Feng turned to look at Gu Shi again, "Okay, now it's your turn, tell me what you want to say."
"It's nothing, actually..."
Gu Shi and Wang Feng chatted briefly for a few words, then said goodbye and left.
After all, he had noticed a long time ago that there were a lot of documents on Wang Feng's desk today. He was probably very busy. Gu Shi didn't have anything important to say, so it was better not to disturb him.
After Gu Shi left the office, he was about to go back to his room in the residence, but he was stopped as soon as he walked out of the door.
"Student Gu Shi, please wait a moment."
A hand was placed in front of Gu Shi, blocking his way.
Gu Shi turned around and saw that the person who stopped him was Li Hui, whom he had just met in the office.
Gu Shi asked with some confusion: "What's the matter?"
"This is for you. It's my thank you gift."
Li Hui grabbed Gu Shi's hand and quickly stuffed something into his palm.
"Need not."
When Gu Shi heard him say this, he subconsciously wanted to hand the thing back. Li Hui noticed Gu Shi's action and immediately took a big step back.
Li Hui then explained, "Don't worry, this isn't something precious. I bought it by accident at a street stall. It only cost me three gold coins."
Gu Shi looked down and saw a round object the size of the bottom of a mineral water bottle lying in the palm of his hand. It was light gray in color, with many dark silver patterns on the surface, and a dark red pointer floating in the center.
This thing looks like a compass, but for some reason, its needle is spinning wildly in all directions with no intention of stopping.
Li Hui continued, "The boss I met said this pointer indicated a huge mysterious treasure. I thought it was quite interesting, so I bought it.
Later, I took it to the academy's appraisal office for identification. Although I didn't get any definitive information, the results showed that this pointer was indeed some kind of unusual keepsake."
Gu Shi frowned. "In that case, I can't accept it. Even though you only got this pointer for three gold coins, its actual value is far more than that. You should take it back."
As he spoke, Gu Shi handed over the pointer.
Li Hui still refused. He had already handed the things to Gu Shi, so there was naturally no reason to take them back.
“Even if it’s worth a fortune, it’s just a decoration that takes up space in my hands.
To be honest, ever since I got the appraisal result at the school appraisal institute, I spent a long time exploring the secret of this pointer, and I also had a daydream of successfully obtaining the treasure and reaching the pinnacle of life.
But the facts tell me that daydreams are just daydreams after all.
In order to search for this illusory treasure, I even delayed improving my strength, and ended up wasting a lot of time and still getting nothing."
“It wasn’t until my friend scolded me that I finally came to my senses.
From then on, I stopped searching for treasure and completely discarded the pointer. Now, it's just a beautiful decoration to me."
"You may feel that you didn't do anything for what happened before, but I sincerely want to thank you. After thinking about it, this is the only thing I have that is suitable as a thank-you gift.
Please accept it.
If this pointer stays with me, it will only continue to gather dust. Giving it to you is like finding a good place for it. Perhaps you, Gu Shi, are the destined recipient of that treasure?"
After listening to Li Hui's long and sincere persuasion, Gu Shi finally accepted the pointer according to his wishes.
"Since you say so, I'll take it. Thank you."
Li Hui shook his head and said, "I should be the one thanking you."
Then, he reminded: "Forgive me for saying so much, you know what I did before, but don't learn from me.
The illusory treasure is not worth your time and energy. I give you this pointer to thank you, not to harm you."
Gu Shi knew that Li Hui was worried about him, so he smiled and replied, "Don't worry, I understand."
"That's good."
Li Hui breathed a sigh of relief, then waved to Gu Shi, "Then I'll be leaving first, bye!"
"Well, bye."
After Li Hui left, Gu Shi lowered his head and looked at the pointer in his hand again.
Although this thing looks like a stone, it feels like a cool metal. It feels heavy in the hand, so its density must be quite high.
The pointer is about three or four centimeters thick, with a sunken round pit on the front, and a dark red pointer keeps rotating inside.
Gu Shi tried to press the pointer with his fingers and easily stopped it, but as soon as he let go, it started moving again.
