Returning to university, starting with confessing to his ex-wife, his counselor.

Yang Shuxi was shocked.

He subconsciously moved his chair to the side and stammered.

"No way! I don't even have enough for myself, how can I give it to you... Ugh, wait, I'm your teacher, Liang Chao! We can't do this!"

"Is there a school rule that teachers can't give students money to spend?"

Liang Chao was initially bewildered, but then a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

"This is a bit tricky!"

"Huh? Well... there's no such rule!" Yang Shuxi didn't quite catch up with Liang Chao's train of thought for a moment and answered casually.

Then, he immediately realized what was happening, blushed, and shouted loudly.

"No, no! I...I won't agree to that, and I won't give you any money. Forget about it!"

"oh."

Liang Chao looked slightly disappointed and simply said "Oh".

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"Then I won't spend my sister's money, and I'll just date her, okay?"

"no!!!"

"Then I'll date my sister and give her money to spend, is that okay?"

"That won't work either!!"

Yang Shuxi was on the verge of a breakdown and couldn't even be bothered to correct him when he called her "sister".

"Liang Chao, why do you have to... you know what? Can't you even show some respect for your teacher?"

At this point, Liang Chao finally fell silent, and after a long while, he finally spoke, "So... if I show you a lot of respect, teacher, can I then date you?"

Yang Shuxi: "..."

Yang Shuxi froze, her eyes becoming blank.

For the first time, I began to doubt my own ability to "educate people morally."

Liang Chao, however, straightened his expression and said solemnly:

"Teacher, there's a reason why I really want to date you!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Shuxi turned her head away blankly.

In a low voice, Liang Chao began to make up... oops~ to reminisce about the past.

"Actually, teacher, you don't know, I used to be rich, not much, just a hundred or two hundred million! So I could still afford to date."

"As for where the money came from, it all started in the summer of 19. You had just divorced me not long before, and I was in great pain..."

"Wait! What marriage did you say? Who's lost their mind?"

Yang Shuxi was a little dizzy and subconsciously asked a question, but shut up after Liang Chao glared at her.

"Don't interrupt, let me finish!"

......

Ten minutes later, Liang Chao picked up the thermos on the table, took a sip of water, and said with a sigh of relief.

"Okay, I'm done talking. Do you have any questions, sister?"

Yang Shuxi stared at the thermos and opened her mouth.

I wanted to say, "That's my cup, how can you drink my water?" But I was afraid that if I said that, the person wouldn't feel ashamed; instead, they would become even more excited.

She forcefully shook off the chaotic thoughts and took a deep breath.

"Liang Chao, you said you were reborn, reborn to the night of your first class dinner in college?"

"That's right!"

"You're saying, teacher, that I... will marry you in the future? That we'll rent a run-down house together, where it's hot in the summer and there's no air conditioning, and I'll buy mung bean ice to deliberately wake you up from your afternoon nap?"

"I can't help it, teacher, you're just too naughty!"

"..."

"You also said that on winter nights, when I go to the bathroom and come back feeling freezing, I run into your arms, and you hug me tightly even though you seem annoyed?"

"I can't help it, teacher, you're just too clingy!"

"..."

After the female guest's question-and-answer session ended, the room fell silent.

Inside the office, Yang Shuxi tensed up, looking at the serious-looking student opposite her, and swallowed hard.

Like an enemy!

After a while, she suddenly grabbed her phone and quickly dialed three numbers.

"Hey~ Is this 110? Yes, I need to call the police! I'm a teacher at Sichuan University, and I suspect my student has gone insane. The situation is critical!"

"What? No, no, no! He was very polite and didn't molest me!"

"What did he do? He...he confessed his feelings to me, and even said he had a hundred or two hundred million and wanted to give me money to spend...No! No! I wasn't showing off...Oh dear~beep beep—"

The call was disconnected. Yang Shuxi's pink lips trembled as she slowly turned her head.

But then they saw Liang Chao's lips slowly part into a strange smile.

"Ah! Ah—don't come any closer! I'll beat you to death! I'll beat you to death!"

A scream rang out, and Yang Shuxi, with her eyes closed, immediately grabbed the cushion behind her and threw it into the air.

Regardless of whether they actually hit the target, the main purpose was to provide psychological comfort.

Seeing this, Liang Chao was speechless for a moment, thinking to himself that he was being treated like a lunatic just for telling the truth.

"Alright, Ms. Yang, I was just kidding. I didn't get reborn, and I didn't divorce you."

He snatched the cushion and sat down opposite Ms. Yang to prevent her from being stressed again.

Upon hearing this, Yang Shuxi indeed opened her eyes, secretly stared at Liang Chao for a while, and then forced herself to sit up straight.

"Then what did you mean by all that you just made up?"

She grumbled feigning dissatisfaction, but her little hand, hidden under the table, quickly typed a line into the search engine.

—Urgent! What should I do if I encounter a student with delusions?

"It doesn't mean anything, I just wanted to trick the teacher into dating me."

Upon hearing these candid words, Yang Shuxi paused in her typing.

No, he actually admitted it without any shame?

She looked up in horror, her face filled with disbelief.

She then pursed her lips and said seriously, "No! I don't like boys who lie!"

"Oh~ what if what I just said was true? What if you really marry me someday, teacher?"

"Ha~ How is that possible? Unless you go buy a lottery ticket right now and win hundreds of thousands, the teacher won't believe you."

Yang Shuxi smiled nonchalantly.

Liang Chao pondered for a moment, then suddenly said something.

"Is 500,000 okay?"

"Huh?" Yang Shuxi was stunned.

"How about we make a bet?"

Liang Chao looked at Yang Shuxi with a serious expression.

"I'm going to buy a lottery ticket later. If I really win 500,000, then Mr. Yang, will you be my girlfriend for a day? How about it?"

"No...uh..."

Yang Shuxi instinctively wanted to refuse, but after glancing at her phone, she stopped herself from speaking.

Delusions are a student's subjective "reality." Directly denying them can make students feel isolated and attacked, and may even exacerbate their paranoia, leading them to have thoughts of self-harm or harming others...

The correct approach is to respond in a neutral, accepting tone...

Upon seeing the text on her phone, Yang Shuxi's palms sweated with nervousness, but she still forced a smile and spoke gently.

"What if there isn't one?"

"If not, then I won't date you!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Shuxi's lips began to curve upwards, but then, as if remembering something, she stopped herself and added a sentence.

"And you're not allowed to date other girls... No, I mean, if you lose, you're going to focus entirely on your studies from now on, and you're not allowed to think about anything else!"

"Can!"

Yang Shuxi smiled with relief.

[The odds of winning 500,000 in the lottery are less than one in a million, there's no reason for me to lose! According to what's said above, as long as Liang Chao can actively face reality, the chances of recovery are very high!]

Liang Chao also smiled.

[The lottery ticket was given by the system, which said it was a 100% winning ticket, so there's no reason for me to lose!]

[Well, if the system messes with me, it's okay if I lose. I only promised not to date older women, not that I wouldn't marry one!]

The conversation ended with both parties satisfied.

The bell had rung for quite some time, and Liang Chao glanced at the time; it was already 12:30. He then suggested that they go to the cafeteria for lunch together.

Yang Shuxi's body stiffened instantly.

Before this conversation, the two were completely innocent, and Liang Chao had not shown any signs of "illness," so she was naturally not afraid. But now...

No, I'm completely innocent now!

Besides, Xiao Liang's emotions are quite stable, so I don't need to be afraid at all~

"No need, I'm not hungry, you can go by yourself."

Yang Shuxi smiled kindly and waved her hand to politely decline.

Yeah, I chickened out!

Seeing this, Liang Chao smiled and stopped pressing the matter, then got up to leave.

The bet has been made, and he will have plenty of opportunities to spend time alone with the older sister later, so there's no need to rush.

Thinking of this, Liang Chao's lips began to curl upwards on one side.

But the moment the door opened, his slightly upturned lips froze.

"Class...Class monitor!!??"
