Wulan is a student in Seika Matsumoto's class. This girl is always sick and takes sick leave every three days. The longest one is the time before the summer vacation. She even fails to take the final exam. She was going to drop out of school, Seika Matsumoto was not surprised at all, but Seika Matsumoto was very cautious, "I need to call Wulan to confirm."

She went to the drawer to look through the address book in the class, but Hikaru Ogata called out a number from the phone earlier, and passed the phone to Seika Matsumoto across the table, "Mr. He, I have a number here, use this."

Seika Matsumoto hesitated for a moment, then reached out to pick up the mobile phone, and looked at his hand, it was very clean, with slender knuckles, much like the hands of a scholar. The doubts and fears in her heart were reduced again, she took the mobile phone from his palm, and dialed the number on the mobile phone.

The ringtone came from the mobile phone, and the waiting time was not too long. Wulan answered the phone over there, and her answer was roughly the same as that of Hikaru Ogata. The little girl just seemed a little nervous, and her voice sounded a little tense. Fear of the teacher is a problem many students have. It has been developed since childhood, and it will not get rid of it even after entering university.

Seika Matsumoto took it for granted, briefly asked about her condition, and comforted her a few words in a gentle voice before hanging up the phone. When she looked up, Hikaru Ogata was standing opposite her and looked at her with a half-smile, that face still made her feel fearful, she pursed her lips slightly, and handed back the phone to him, "Mr. Fu, come with me to the department to get it." Check out the application form."

She took him to get the application form for suspension of schooling, and told him what other materials needed to be prepared, "...the hospital provides diagnosis opinions and suggestions for suspension of schooling, and the application form must be signed by Wulan himself. When the time comes, you will bring these things together with the application form. Bring it back to me, and I will take you to the leader of the courtyard."

Hikaru Ogata nodded slightly, and asked her again: "Mr. He, can I leave your mobile phone number?"

Seika Matsumoto hesitated, and said, "You can call my office."

Hikaru Ogata smiled and didn't insist anymore.

Out of politeness, she sent him out of the office, but before parting, he suddenly asked: "May I ask, do I look a lot like another person?"

She was taken aback by his question, and he continued to ask: "You are very afraid of that man, aren't you? Has he hurt you? "

Seika Matsumoto is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and has always had a good temperament, but at this moment, she couldn't help but want to say back to him viciously, "Fuck you!" But her self-cultivation did not allow her to do so, so she only slightly raised her eyebrows, Pretend not to hear what he said, and asked him, "Huh? What did you say?"

Hikaru Ogata smiled with his lips curled up, and reached out to shake hands with her, "I say goodbye, Mr. He."

Seika Matsumoto still had an instinctive fear of the man in front of her. She put her hand on his palm, and immediately pulled it away as soon as she touched it, "Goodbye."

He smiled, but didn't say anything, just turned and left.

She was a little restless all afternoon. Furkan made several phone calls to ask about her situation, and even drove to the school to pick her up when she was about to get off work. The sense of happiness overwhelmed the unknown fear in Seika Matsumoto heart. She carried her purse When I went downstairs, I couldn't help but act like a baby to my husband when I got in the car: "What about my car?"

"Stay at school."Furkan replied.

She knowingly asked again: "Then how can I go to work tomorrow?"

Furkan imitated her emphasis: "I will send you to work tomorrow."

Both the husband and wife couldn't help laughing. After laughing, she was silent for a while, then suddenly said without thinking: "Furkan, I want to study for a Ph. D., and I don't want to be a counselor all the time."

She only has a master's degree. To be a university lecturer, she must at least finish her Ph.D.

Furkan was supportive of all her choices, and said, "Okay, which school do you want to go to? Do you want me to contact your tutor for you?"

Seika Matsumoto shook her head, "I'd better go back to my alma mater and continue studying with my teacher."

Since she had this thought, she called the teacher the next day to ask for advice. The teacher was very happy to hear that she was willing to study for a Ph. D., and directly asked her to take the entrance exam next spring. It was mid-September at this time, and the registration time was in October. Suddenly, there were a lot of materials to prepare, and she suddenly felt overwhelmed, so she had to ask Furkan for help.

The husband and wife rolled up their sleeves and went to battle together. When he was sorting out the materials at night, he suddenly said to her seriously: "Yanyan, let's work harder and get pregnant quickly, so that when you take the entrance exam next year, you can take the baby with you." Let our children go together, this is also prenatal education!"

She was stunned for a moment, but she felt that this idea was really good. The husband and wife immediately dropped the materials in hand, and climbed into bed with great interest to create a human.

A week later, she received that call. She was studying for a Ph.D. at her alma mater. The caller ID was an unfamiliar number. She was afraid that something might happen to the students in the class, so she answered it in a hurry.

"Hello, Teacher He."

It was a man's deep voice, with a rare coolness in summer, Seika Matsumoto scalp tightened a bit, and her voice was unconsciously stiff, "Hello, Mr. Fu."

"You remember my voice, Teacher He."Hikaru Ogata said.

Seika Matsumoto had no intention of chatting with him, and only said: "Mr. Fu, when will Wulan's materials be handed in? There are regulations in the school that the application for suspension of school must be submitted within two weeks of the start of school."

"I just left your office, Mr. He, your colleague said they didn't know when you would come back, so I had to call you on the mobile phone."Hikaru Ogata said, paused, and explained: "The mobile phone number is from Wulan is coming."

According to school regulations, counselors are required to sit in class, but counselors often run around because of student affairs, and the school is not very strict, so Seika Matsumoto often sneaks out to do private affairs without asking for leave. She discussed with him: "I'm sorry, I'm outside right now. How about this, can you leave the materials in my office first?"

"Not very good." He refused very simply.

Seika Matsumoto choked for a moment.

He added: "I'm going on a business trip tomorrow, and I won't be in Nanzhao in the near future. Mr. He, can you come back now, I'll wait for you at school."

What he said was a bit blunt, but Seika Matsumoto didn't want to argue with the parents of the students easily, and she didn't take it seriously, so she thought about it and said: "Then wait for me for half an hour , I will go back now."

She drove back, and when she parked the car behind the hospital office building, it was exactly half an hour past. As soon as she got out of the car, a strong man in a black suit came out of a black car on the side of the road, held the car door and called her, "Mr. Fu is waiting for you here."

The car was worth a lot of money at first glance, plus that strong man who looked like a bodyguard, his posture didn't look like an ordinary person no matter what. She froze for a moment, then walked forward hesitantly, the rear window of the car slowly fell down, revealing a handsome face, Hikaru Ogata nodded slightly to her: "Mr. He, hello, you are very punctual. "

Seika Matsumoto looked at him warily, and when she looked carefully, he didn't look exactly the same as that murderer. His face was more refined, with clear features, peaceful eyes, and a kind of indifference brought about by a good background in the corners of his eyes and brows. , without the slightest hint of ruthlessness.

"I'm sorry to call you back, but I'm going abroad tomorrow and I won't be able to come back in a short time, so I want to finish the formalities with Wulan today."Hikaru Ogata said, motioning to the assistant to give the file bag to Seika Matsumoto, "Please see if What's missing."

She checked the materials in the file bag, "You have to follow me to the head of the school to sign, and then you can send it to the Academic Affairs Office for approval."

Hikaru Ogata nodded, and his assistant hurriedly stepped forward to open the door for him. It was only then that she noticed that he was dressed very formally today, with a neat suit and a dignified demeanor, much like those financial tycoons who can be on the front page of magazines. As if noticing her scrutiny, he explained casually: "I just finished a meeting."

He went to the hospital office with her, walked beside her, and chatted casually: "Ms. He looks very young, did you just graduate from university?"

In fact, she is already twenty-seven years old, she studied early, and has graduated from graduate school for more than four years. But she was not interested in chatting with him, so she only politely pulled the corner of her lower lip, showing a smile that couldn't be more faint, and replied: "No."

She walked very fast, even half a body faster than him who was tall and long-legged, and even faster when going upstairs, almost turning into a trot. It wasn't until she reached the corner of the stairs that she realized that he hadn't followed, and she couldn't help turning around to look at him in surprise.

He was still standing under the stairs, looking up at her indifferently: "Mr. He, I'm not in such a hurry."

Seika Matsumoto was a little embarrassed, and felt that she had gone too far, but she was really afraid of him. Even though she knew that this person had nothing to do with the murderer, as long as she heard his voice and saw him, she couldn't control her. live in fear. She was able to have a normal conversation with him, not to scream or run away, this was the result of her hard work.

She didn't speak, just stood around the corner and waited for him.

He walked up unhurriedly, and said suddenly when he walked past her: "I'm really curious, why are you so afraid of me."

"You misunderstood." She lowered her head not to look at him, paused and explained: "I have something to do urgently, so I can't help being a little anxious."

"Oh, so." He nodded slightly, and said again: "I'm sorry, Mr. He, I told you to leave your own affairs and come back."

She forced herself to smile, "It should, this is my job."

Things went smoothly, the hospital leader happened to be at home, and Hikaru Ogata prepared all the materials. The hospital leader signed his name with a swipe of a pen, and Seika Matsumoto led Hikaru Ogata out of the hospital leader's office, "Send the application form to Go to the school's Academic Affairs Office and wait for the approval of the Academic Affairs Office."

When the two walked outside the building, Hikaru Ogata's car was already waiting by the side of the road. He turned to look at her and asked politely, "Is the Academic Affairs Office far away? Shouldn't the car be faster?"

The school's academic affairs office is indeed some distance away from the courtyard office, but she doesn't want to walk side by side with him like this, and she doesn't want to sit in the same car with him. She pursed her lips and came up with a good idea, "Get in the car, go straight along this road, and turn left after two intersections is the school's academic affairs building, which is very eye-catching. You wait for me at the entrance, I went to drive my own car and went to work after handing in the form, which saved time."

Hikaru Ogata did not object. Seika Matsumoto went to the building and drove. When he arrived at the school's Academic Affairs Office, Hikaru Ogata was already standing at the bottom of the steps outside the building and waiting. His tall and tall appearance attracted the attention of many students. She hurried over and greeted softly: "Let's go, Mr. Fu."

With her leading, things went smoothly. The young female teacher in the Academic Affairs Office almost got her eyes glued to Hikaru Ogata, and took advantage of his time to go through the formalities, and took He Seika Matsumoto aside to secretly ask: "Who is this man?" ? He looks so handsome!"

Hikaru Ogata seemed to have noticed something, glanced at them, and slightly hooked the corner of his lower lip. This charming smile caused the female teacher next to her to want to pounce on her knees and lick her, and she held Seika Matsumoto's arm tightly and refused to let go, "Quick, do you have a contact method? Give me his phone number!"

Seika Matsumoto was a little dumbfounded. She took Hikaru Ogata call, so she naturally had his mobile phone number. However, it seemed inappropriate to tell strangers the number like this without his permission.

The colleague shook her arm and begged: "Miss He, please, you already have a husband, and you must leave this opportunity to single dogs like us!"

"This is the student's cousin. I don't know him either. Go over and ask yourself." As she spoke, her heart suddenly moved, and she secretly suggested to her colleagues, "Why don't you leave his contact information for personal gain and wait for the application If it is approved, you can call him directly and ask him to come and pick it up, and I don’t need to teach you the rest, right?”

According to the usual practice, after the application is approved, it must be returned to the college first, and then the counselor will contact the student. The colleague was a little shy and asked her, "Is it suitable?"

She pursed her lips and smiled, and lightly bumped her colleague with her shoulder, "What's wrong with that? Just think of it as working for me!"

Over there, Hikaru Ogata had completed the relevant procedures, and turned around to look at Seika Matsumoto. She asked the colleagues around her solemnly: "Is there anything else?"

The colleague cleared his throat, "Uh, please leave the client's contact information."

Hikaru Ogata smiled, wrote down the mobile phone number on the paper, and handed it over.
