early weekend morning.

Xue Shurong was sitting at the desk doing homework.After swiping down the formula on the paper, she pressed the pen to her chin, thinking about the next steps.

"This should be..."

She looked at it for a long time in distress, but still had no idea.Although the gradually added intelligence helped her a lot in learning and her memory was relatively enhanced, she was powerless when encountering more difficult problems.

"Dong dong dong."

The sound of knocking on the door sounded like a horn of liberation, and Xue Shurong hurriedly dropped his pen and trot to the door.Through the cat's eyes, she saw Dr. Hannibal standing outside the door smiling at herself in the small lens, as if she was certain that she was standing less than half a meter away at this moment.

With a click, the door opened.

"Mr. Hannibal? May I ask what you want?" Xue Shurong put one hand on the door and looked at him suspiciously.

It's not a cool summer morning, but Hannibal is still wearing a clean white shirt, black suit pants lining his slender and straight legs, and his dark brown hair is neatly combed like an otter Smooth, the whole person exudes a gentle and elegant atmosphere.

Hannibal should be about 1.8 meters tall. He looked down at Xue Shurong with a calm expression, so calm that he didn't look like a young man in his 20s.

"Your courier." He raised his hand slightly, holding a heavy-looking cardboard box.

Xue Shurong glanced at the other party's handsome face, then at his slender and clean fingers, and asked in surprise, "Are you working part-time?"

Hannibal froze for a moment, the corners of his lips curled up.

His calm and pleasant voice sounded slowly: "The courier sent the wrong delivery, Miss Misha."

"..."

So this is ah.

Xue Shurong's white cheeks were flushed, and her eyes blinked awkwardly.

"Sorry, I'm really sleepy, thank you for your help."

She quickly took the package and asked politely, "Come in and have a seat."

It was originally a casual courtesy, but Hannibal actually nodded and followed her into the room.Xue Shurong lamented that Westerners are not vain at all, and invited him to sit on the sofa and bring the washed fruits to the coffee table.

"What would you like to drink? Juice or soda?"

"Water will do."

Having lived here for several months, Xue Shurong knows almost nothing about this neighbor, except that he is a psychiatrist and seems to be very self-disciplined in his private life, but he has never had close contact.

Of course, Xue Shurong still remembers the first embarrassing scene in time travel.

Today, she tried her best to restrain the urge to tell cold jokes to ease the atmosphere.

"You look reserved, is it because of my question?" Hannibal clasped his fingertips together, as if he was having a friendly conversation with a friend.

"Ah... no, it's not..."

"I feel very anxious when I get along with strangers, even to the point of being restless and unbearable-this is a common problem that many people have." He raised his lips, and his voice was melodious and low, which made people relax unconsciously, "It's not a big problem , but you need a little help."

"What... help?"

There is no doubt that Hannibal knew the art of conversation.Xue Shurong enjoyed listening to his gentle voice. Even though the questions she asked were a little too deep, she didn't feel uncomfortable. Instead, she was happy to share the troubles that had lingered for many years with Hannibal.

Anxiety-like mild obsessive-compulsive disorder has affected her life, as evidenced by the games on her mobile phone.

"Can it be improved? I've heard of a method given by a Japanese pathologist before. I don't know if it works?"

"I don't suggest you use Morita therapy, Miss Misha. Your symptoms are very mild, and you just need to use proper techniques to overcome them, instead of treating it as a disease."

"I understand."

Unknowingly, the two chatted for a long time, from her social habits to pathology, and from pathology to some books and cases.Xue Shurong was very interested in Japanese reasoning writers such as Higashino Keigo and Edogawa Ranpo for a while, and she can occasionally put forward her own opinions when talking about these.

As expected, Hannibal lived up to her expectations. Not only did he have complicated theoretical knowledge, but he also seemed to be quite familiar with these criminal methods.

Seeing that it was already noon, Xue Shurong asked carefully, "If you don't mind, please stay and have a meal."

"I didn't prepare a gift, it's too rude."

"Let's talk about it next time." She shrugged and got up to go to the kitchen.

Hannibal's eyes followed Xue Shurong's back: "Do Chinese people eat a lot at lunch time?"

"Yes, sir."

Xue Shurong got up and took a pair of scissors to cut open the carton packaging, and took out the seasoning inside: "Eating too much dinner is not easy to digest, and it is harmful to the body. Please rest for a while!"

She took out some vegetables, chicken and beef, and started to prepare the ingredients first.

Considering the eating habits of Westerners, Xue Shurong plans to make it lighter.

"Do you use these spices?"

The sudden sound behind her made Xue Shurong's hands tremble in fright, and he almost dropped the soup spoon. Fortunately, Hannibal grabbed it firmly over her shoulder, so as to avoid the danger of being splashed by the soup.

The bodies of the two were close to each other by accident, like Hannibal hugging her from behind, and the warm breath gently blew past her ears, causing an uncomfortable shiver.

Xue Shurong smelled the faint scent of men's perfume, blushed and said in embarrassment: "Thank you."

Hannibal didn't feel the slightest bit of awkwardness, he put down the spoon and washed his hands, picked up the seasoning and glanced at it.

"Do you know Chinese?" Xue Shurong asked slightly surprised.

"I used to teach myself in the early years, but fortunately I still remember."

Hannibal's sleeves were rolled up twice, showing his strong wrists. He read the ingredients carefully, as if he was reviewing a thesis.Looking from Xue Shurong's angle, he has a tall, tall and handsome silhouette, with a well-defined profile.

What a beautiful, rich and talented single, rich and handsome!

If this was in the real world, Xue Shurong would not be able to control An Lushan's claws from reaching out to him.However, facing a high-quality single man who can only be seen for more than five years at most, she said that it is good to watch.

A lunch ended in a pleasant atmosphere.

These days, Xue Shurong's life is very regular.

Apart from attending classes, tutoring, and part-time jobs, she gradually had more contacts with Dr. Hannibal.Last week, Hannibal taught her how to use the shears to keep the lawn neater.Xue Shurong often met Perry when he took a walk in the evening, and the two walked through that section of the street together, occasionally chatting about what happened at school recently.On weekends, she and Penny went shopping together. Of course, most of the time it was Penny who went shopping and carried her bags.

The peaceful life gave her peace of mind, coupled with the suggestion made by Hannibal, Xue Shurong has restrained the urge to play with her mobile phone when she is anxious for a while.

This semester ended successfully, just ushered in a few days of cloudy and rainy days.

The system officially announces that the vacation function is activated.

Xue Shurong was very busy and didn't have any extra money for a vacation. After thinking about it, she decided to take this excellent opportunity to eat hot pot.

Penny is going to Hawaii with her boyfriend for vacation in two days, and the two of them are really bored to death.Xue Shurong called her in the morning, and Petunia, a veteran foodie, agreed without hesitation, and of course she didn't forget to bring her coquettish boyfriend.

She hesitated for a moment, planning to call and invite Perry over after shopping for groceries.

Seeing that Perry is always alone, she can't help but recall her self in another world, who is equally inarticulate and lonely.Therefore, Xue Shurong couldn't help but want to get in touch with Perry more, trying to make him open up.

"Miss, please put on your coat."

"Ok."

Xue Shurong put on a beige knitted cardigan sweater, rolled up the trouser legs of her skinny jeans, waterproof sneakers and an umbrella, so she was safe.

She teased her housekeeper with a smile: "Be good and wait at home, don't be afraid, I'll be back in a while."

Jarvis replied solemnly: "Please rest assured, miss."

Xue Shurong burst out laughing.

After coming out of the supermarket, there was a light rain outside, and the rainwater flowed down the sewer. The road surface was a little muddy, but it didn't hinder walking.

Xue Shurong carried the bag and decided to fight back.

The reserved taxi arrived quickly.

Holding the umbrella in one hand, she put the wet plastic bag in the car, put the umbrella away and sat in.After the vehicle drove steadily for a period of time, Xue Shurong looked out the window belatedly, and suddenly froze.

"Sorry," she patted the back of the driver's back seat, "I don't live here, you went the wrong way."

"It's here. The nearest road is under repair. Take a long way to avoid it." The driver of the middle-aged man replied flatly.

"..."

Something is wrong!

The uneasiness in Xue Shurong's heart became more and more intense, and she instantly thought of what Jarvis said——

So, is the taxi driver sitting in the front seat also a criminal? !

"Please stop here, I want to go to the bathroom."

The driver ignored her.

"Sir, did you hear that?"

The driver stepped on the accelerator, and the vehicle turned quickly. Xue Shurong was staggered by the inertia without paying attention, and his head hit the glass heavily.

"hiss……"

She sat up covering her head, and when she was about to fight back, the car stopped with a slamming sound, and she was caught off guard and her forehead hit the guardrail again.

It hurts!

The car door was opened suddenly.

The driver drove the car to a hidden warehouse, which was brightly lit, and rows of boxes of goods were neatly stacked. The huge place was empty, with only a few people standing.

"Miss Xue Shurong, I'm sorry to invite you here hastily."

The blond girl looked her up and down with an expression of interest.

"Younger and more beautiful than I imagined."

Xue Shurong got out of the car and stared warily at a group of people with unfriendly faces: "What are you going to do?"
