Bernard was stunned. He thought it was another brain teaser type question.

He thought for a while, then finally gave up and looked at Ryan with pleading eyes.

Ryan didn't speak immediately. He thought of an eccentric girl and his eyes were a little dazed.

"What do you think, senior?" he asked softly.

"I don't know the answer." Bernard shook his head.

Ryan smiled slightly: "For this kind of question with options, you just need to guess."

Bernard's eyes lit up: "Then I guess Phoenix."

There was no response from the knocker.

He nudged Cedric, signaling for another answer.

Cedric hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's fire."

But there was still no response from the door knocker.

"How is that possible? Is this question unsolvable?" Bernard shouted.

Cedric breathed a sigh of relief. He always felt that the trick he had just used was not fair enough. Fortunately, his answer was not correct and did not violate his creed.

Although he was not sure whether asking Ryan to help him answer the questions was considered a violation of his creed...

He turned his gaze back to Ryan. He was still very confident in Ryan.

"I think the answer is, in no particular order, phoenix and fire, it's a cycle." Lane said.

"It makes sense." Ying Huan's tone did not change at all.

"Can we pass?" Bernard pulled Cedric into the lounge.

"Wait a minute." Ryan stopped them, "If I remember correctly, Senior Sister Qiu's requirement for Senior Cedric is to answer the Eagle Ring question 'personally'."

Bernard's face fell, and Cedric couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Even if Ryan didn't say anything, they didn't notice this small detail.

"I think we'd better go back." Bernard sighed, "Don't be discouraged..."

"It's not that there is no way." Ryan knocked on the door knocker again, "I think there is still room for discussion on the issue just now."

The knocker looked at him quietly without making a sound.

Sure enough, it does have some intelligence, Ryan thought, not just a programmed machine.

"Cycle is not a rigorous answer." Ryan continued, "The Phoenix needs to rely on the flame to be reborn, but the flame does not need to rely on the Phoenix to generate. The flame is necessary for the Phoenix, but the Phoenix is ​​not necessary for the flame. The two things are not mutually exclusive. As a necessary and sufficient condition.

"So, logically, the flame should precede the phoenix."

Yinghuan was silent for a while before saying: "That makes sense."

Cedric breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to thank Ryan when he heard Eagle Ring ask:

"If his answer is 'Phoenix,' how would you argue?"

Ryan thought for a while and replied with a smile: "You ask which comes first, 'Phoenix' or 'Fire'. Of course, 'Phoenix' comes first."

Yinghuan was silent for another moment, and there seemed to be a hint of helplessness in his tone: "It makes sense."

Bernard felt that his brain was running out, and he glanced at Cedric.

Cedric lowered his voice, and his tone was a little helpless: "According to the meaning of the question, the eagle ring mentioned the phoenix first, so naturally the phoenix appeared first in the question. It is a tricky answer."

Bernard swallowed and said quietly after a long time: "Is the Sorting Hat broken?"

"It's possible. After all, it's an antique from a thousand years ago..." Cedric agreed deeply.

"Okay, now that all the obstacles ahead have been cleared, you don't need me to talk about what happens next, right?" Bernard pushed Cedric and asked him to go in and confess his love to Qiu Zhang.

Ryan stopped Cedric again.

"Senior, school rules." Ryan held his forehead, love really can improve your intelligence.

"But if you don't enter the lounge, how can you invite..."

"First, the senior sister's request only allows you to answer the questions in person, and does not say that you are invited in person." Ryan had no choice but to talk about it. He pointed at the little wizards around him, "The matter has been made public. If, senior, you enter the Wenclaw lounge is a blatant violation of school rules. I don’t think Senior Qiuchang wants you to be punished.”

"So, what should I do?" Cedric blushed and asked in a low voice.

"Second!" Ryan sighed and lowered his voice, "Most girls in the East are more reserved. I think confessing directly in front of her will make her quite distressed. I'm really curious about your discussion with Senior Bernard. How much homework has been done for so long, and you didn’t even investigate the other party’s cultural background?”

Cedric looked away, obviously feeling guilty.

"So, please do the same as before and entrust a girl to tell Senior Qiu Zhang that you want to invite her. Don't mention the confession. You can go to have afternoon tea, go to the library to discuss academics, or go to the Quidditch field to practice. , please proceed step by step..."

Cedric nodded repeatedly. He was about to find a girl when he was pulled back by Ryan.

Ryan felt tired. In his previous life, he was a single old straight man, but he had to endure the strong sour smell here and provide love guidance for others. The bitterness of it was unbearable for outsiders to explain.

"Third, don't leave such a private matter to someone you don't know well..." Ryan sighed again, "What you are looking for is a senior named Marietta. I think the senior should know her. I heard that she She is Qiu Zhang’s best friend.”

Cedric was already dizzy. He didn't care why Ryan knew who Qiu Zhang's best friend was. After all, this little wizard seemed to know everything. He only knew that he needed to be obedient.

He found Marietta in the crowd and hoped that she would tell Qiu Zhang when she could come out to have afternoon tea.

Marietta giggled, seeming to find everything that had just happened a lot of fun, and she even teased Cedric a few words, making him blush.

She walked into the lounge and came out after a while handing a note.

Cedric took the note and looked at it, almost suppressing the smile on his lips, and even breathing a little heavier.

Ryan tugged on his clothes and said in a cold tone: "Fourth, maintain a gentleman's attitude. Also, if you want to chase Qiu Zhang, please stay away from Marietta. It will be good for the three of you."

Cedric nodded quickly and decided to write down all the key points that Ryan said in his notebook and recite them three times a day.

Seeing that the fun was over, the young wizards around them dispersed in twos and threes, still discussing the feelings of their seniors.

Returning to the Hufflepuff common room, Cedric solemnly expressed his thanks.

"Thank you, Ryan, if it wasn't for you, I don't know what I would have done."

Ryan only felt like he had taken a bite of lemon, and he said quietly: "Fifth, please distinguish the time and occasion. I think, if the senior hadn't stopped a strange senior sister early in the morning, blocked the door of Ravenclaw and conveyed such a private message, Senior Sister Qiuzhang will not ask you to answer Ying Huan’s questions..."

Cedric froze.

Ryan pinched his throat and imitated the girl's unbelievable shame and anger:

"Early in the morning on the weekend, I was sleeping soundly. I was woken up by someone in a daze. I thought something big had happened... but it turned out that it was really big. A handsome guy who didn't understand the style blocked the door and wanted to confess to me. If everyone knows, what should I do..."

Cedric covered his face and squatted down.

Ryan's voice became cold again: "If I were that girl, I would definitely reject this imprudent boy severely. Not scolding is already considered very cultivated.

"Don't you understand? Senior Cedric and Senior Qiu Zhang also like you."

Cedric looked up, expecting to see teasing and teasing in Ryan's eyes.

However, the little wizard's brown eyes were so calm that there was no wave of emotion at all.

Cedric watched Ryan speak slowly, feeling a little palpitated for no reason.

"So senior, please don't live up to this relationship..."
