#166 - Chapter 166 (⓿_⓿)?
The handsome and rich man propped his forehead with his hand, smiled inscrutably, and shook his head from time to time, leaving the others completely confused.
“This… is Teacher Gao…” Zhu Lan looked at Bai Hong questioningly, while pointing to her own head with her finger.
Bai Hong said uncertainly, “He should… be alright, right?”
Chen Shan stretched his hand in front of Gao Fushuai, about to wave it, when Gao Fushuai suddenly raised his head with a “whoosh,” startling Chen Shan into a shiver.
“Holy crap!” Chen Shan quickly retracted his hand, looking at Gao Fushuai with lingering fear.
Gao Fushuai looked at Chen Shan in confusion: “What’s wrong?”
“Uh… nothing.” Chen Shan waved his hand with a smile.
Bai Hong tentatively asked from the side, “Are… are you okay? Are you sick or something?”
Gao Fushuai raised an eyebrow, his eyes full of surprise: “Sick? How could I be…”
Gao Fushuai’s words stopped abruptly, as if he had thought of something, and he raised his head and smiled helplessly.
If being overly intelligent was a disease, then I'm afraid I'm incurable…
Gao Fushuai came back to his senses, turned his head to look at Li Bai, and said in the other's puzzled gaze, “Dean Li, should I say it?”
Li Bai: ( ¯(∞)¯ )?
Several large question marks appeared above Li Bai’s head.
Whether you say it or not has nothing to do with this old man, why do you keep asking me?
Li Bai coughed lightly twice, speechless, “Say whatever you want, say whatever you should.”
As soon as these words came out, Gao Fushuai’s eyes narrowed instantly, and the light called “wisdom” flashed in his eyes again.
Why would Dean Li say these words to me? Is there some profound meaning?
Gao Fushuai propped his head with one hand, like a famous detective, and closed his eyes.
Why did Dean Li cough lightly twice before speaking?
Why did Dean Li put "say whatever you want" before "say whatever you should?"
“Want and should, want and should, want and should…” Gao Fushuai murmured in his heart.
After a few seconds of silence, Gao Fushuai suddenly widened his eyes, he understood!
The reason Dean Li coughed twice before speaking was not simply to cough, but to remind him that what he was about to say had two layers of meaning!
“Say whatever you want” is not simply “say whatever you want,” but to tell himself not to only say what he sees, but also what he guesses in his head.
“Say whatever you should” is not simply “say whatever you should.” His previous performance was too strange, and Dean Li was probably aware of his intelligence and knew that he had understood everything.
That's why he added "say whatever you should" after "say whatever you want," meaning to let himself grasp the measure and not say everything.
The others looked at Gao Fushuai, who had started giggling again, and fell into deep thought.
Li Bai frowned, beckoned to Bai Hong, and signaled the other party to put their ear closer.
Bai Hong immediately complied when he saw this, obediently stretching out his ear.
“Take this person to see a doctor when you get back. He seems to have injured his brain in the battle. Don’t let him teach in this state, he will mislead the students.” Li Bai instructed in a low voice.
Bai Hong nodded: “Understood.”
After speaking, he sat back again, and just as he was about to reach out and shake Gao Fushuai awake, the other party raised his head first.
“Dean Li, I understand.” Gao Fushuai said with a smile.
Li Bai looked at Gao Fushuai in confusion: “What do you understand?”
Seeing Li Bai showing this expression, Gao Fushuai naturally knew that the other party was deliberately pretending, and shook his head in cooperation: “I don’t understand anymore.”
Li Bai's face darkened.
He couldn't tell whether the other party was making fun of him or talking nonsense because his brain was broken.
Gao Fushuai didn't notice Li Bai's abnormality, turned his head to look at the others: “I changed my mind, I plan to tell everyone who was the one who seriously injured the Dream Calamity.”
As soon as these words came out, the people in the shed instantly perked up.
“Didn’t you say you couldn’t say it just now? Why did you suddenly change your mind?” Zhu Lan’s eyes were full of confusion.
“People are fickle, and so am I.” Gao Fushuai’s mouth curled up, and his fingers were crossed in front of his chest.
Chen Shan pricked up his ears and looked at Gao Fushuai seriously: “Then tell us quickly!”
Gao Fushuai smiled and asked, “Do you know under what circumstances that expert took action to seriously injure the Dream Calamity?”
The others were stunned when they heard this, and Bai Hong took the lead in saying: “Was it when you were about to be killed?”
“No, that expert only took action to seriously injure the other party when the Dream Calamity was about to kill Li Chenqiu. Only then did Li Chenqiu have a chance to kill the Dream Calamity.
Later, according to my understanding, that expert has been lurking in the dark, or rather, lurking around Li Chenqiu, silently protecting his safety, and only takes action when Li Chenqiu encounters life-threatening danger, and lurks in the dark at other times.”
Speaking of this, Gao Fushuai paused and looked at Bai Hong: “Teacher Bai, don’t you think that this kind of expert who lurks in the dark and is only responsible for protecting life is familiar?”
Bai Hong wasn’t stupid. After being reminded by Gao Fushuai, his eyes lit up instantly: “A Protector?!”
“Yes, that expert is Li Chenqiu’s Protector.” Gao Fushuai said firmly.
Hearing this, the faces of everyone in the shed except Li Bai showed surprised or shocked expressions.
“How could Li Chenqiu have a Protector? You must be joking!”
“Yeah, I’ve inquired about Li Chenqiu’s affairs. He’s just an ordinary child in City 11. How could he have a Protector?”
“Are you thinking too much or misunderstanding Li Chenqiu’s words?”
The three of them spoke up to question him, and no one believed Gao Fushuai’s words except for Li Bai.
A trace of clarity flashed in Li Bai’s turbid eyes, and he thoughtfully tugged at his white beard.
Same name format, also from City 11, and was adopted by Li Ji?
“If he is really a child adopted by Li Ji, then it makes sense that someone is protecting him.” Li Bai thought to himself.
At this moment, he suddenly became extremely curious about this Li Chenqiu, whom he had never met.
Hearing the doubts of the others, the corners of Gao Fushuai’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch.
Would his such intelligent brain misunderstand or overthink things?
What a joke!
“I know you have doubts in your hearts, but that expert is Li Chenqiu’s Protector. I saw it with my own eyes, heard it with my own ears, and felt it myself. Can it be fake?” Gao Fushuai looked at the three of them with firm eyes.
Chen Shan retorted in a deep voice: “Only the Federation’s six major consortia have the saying of Protectors. Li Chenqiu has been wandering since he was a child and was only adopted a few years ago. He has nothing to do with the six major consortia at all. How could he have a Protector?”
“Nothing to do with it?” Gao Fushuai raised a single eyebrow: “Who said there’s nothing to do with it? His surname is Li, and there’s a Li Consortium among the six major consortia.”
As he spoke, Gao Fushuai turned his head to look at Li Bai, and the others also moved their gazes with Gao Fushuai’s gaze.
For a time, the shed was extremely quiet, and four gazes were focused on Li Bai.
Li Bai: (⓿_⓿)?
