"Professor Gu Xinghe, are you there? I am Amato, the president of the Mysticism Research Society."
However, just as Gu Xinghe and Field were discussing the occult research society...
Just then, they heard a knock on the door from its president, Amato.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe and Field exchanged a glance.
Gu Xinghe's eyes held a hint of doubt, but he also saw the disgust in Field's eyes.
Nodding to Field, Gu Xinghe stood up, walked over, and opened the dormitory door.
Standing before me was a young man who looked excessively thin.
The young man's face lit up with joy the moment he saw Gu Xinghe.
But this joy is not due to the polite smiles that students show to their teachers in ordinary teacher-student relationships.
On the contrary, Gu Xinghe, who knew what the other person was thinking, saw that the smile was quite "impolite".
Gu Xinghe could see that Amato's expression when he looked at him was a mixture of curiosity, determination, desire, and joy.
It's like the expression on a treasure hunter's face after overcoming numerous obstacles by following the clues on a treasure map and finally finding the treasure.
He seemed to realize that the expression he was showing was not the normal expression a student would have when meeting a teacher for the first time.
Amato lowered his head and scratched his nose with his index finger, avoiding eye contact with Gu Xinghe.
Even so, he was relieved that no one else present had noticed.
Amato, however, had been "inadvertently" observing Gu Xinghe.
He never restrained his blatant probing of Gu Xinghe in front of the two of them.
Moreover, this curiosity and exploration is not like when Gu Xinghe was being curiously observed by the students in the classroom before.
At that time, the students' curiosity about him stemmed more from the fact that it was their first meeting.
But now Amato is even more curious and wants to find out his origins and true nature.
From this perspective, it's clear from Amato's extremely conspicuous scrutiny that his composure is far inferior to Field's.
Before opening the door, Field's eyes were filled with disgust, and all he could think about was how to "get rid of" the other person.
But at this moment, Gu Xinghe could see that the disgust and dissatisfaction in Field's emerald green pupils were no longer there.
The smile on his face became even gentler.
His black hair, combined with his dark complexion, gave him the appearance of a composed scholar.
Just as Gu Xinghe had experienced before.
When outsiders were present, Field did not treat him in an overly special way.
They possess this ability to quickly disguise and impersonate themselves.
Gu Xinghe even felt that Field would be quite suitable to be a secret agent or spy.
The moment Gu Xinghe opened the door, he could see the different expressions on Field and Amato's faces.
Seeing this, Gu Xinghe looked at the scene before him with amusement.
In any case, of the two, he would naturally trust Field, with whom he had already laid his cards on the table.
Instead of visiting him immediately after he returned to his dormitory, Amato, who clearly had ulterior motives, did not.
Gu Xinghe welcomed Amato into the room and looked at him leisurely, as Amato had not yet explained his purpose.
But at this moment, Amato was distracted because his attention had been on Gu Xinghe.
He only now noticed that there was clearly another person in Gu Xinghe's room.
"Senior Field, are you here to visit Professor Gu Xinghe as well?"
Without explaining his purpose, Amato first inquired about Field's existence.
It was as if he had something to discuss with Gu Xinghe privately and wanted to get Field out of the way first.
"Yes, because there were some questions I didn't understand in class today, so the professor invited me to his dorm to explore them together."
"That's right, after all, Field is indeed a very studious and excellent student."
Looking at Gu Xinghe and Field, they seemed to have a harmonious teacher-student relationship.
The student respects the teacher, and the teacher also likes this excellent student in both character and academics; they appreciate each other.
However, the scene before him undoubtedly greatly agitated Amato.
Even without listening to his inner thoughts, Gu Xinghe could tell from Amato's face.
Amatona's face was filled with envy and disgust as he praised Field.
That is the jealousy and resentment of the excellent towards those who know they are incompetent but do not strive for improvement.
In retrospect, the relationship between Gu Xinghe, Field, and Amato is now incredibly complex.
Field and Amato were undoubtedly hostile to each other.
Amato was jealous of Field, who was not only academically excellent but also a popular "idol" on campus.
Field's words, on the other hand, seem to stem from a grudge against the occult research society.
But there is no doubt that both sides have shown their respect for Gu Xinghe.
Field, of course, needs no further explanation.
In Field's understanding, he and Gu Xinghe are now in a very close mentor-student relationship.
As for Amato, the look of delight in his eyes when he saw Gu Xinghe when he came in was absolutely genuine.
Thinking of this, Gu Xinghe suddenly paused.
Wait, what's with this intensely melodramatic love triangle in a soap opera?
Field and Amato are rivals in love, and now they are vying for his affections.
