After Odasaku came to Yokohama, Xie Shuyi's mental state obviously improved a lot.

Within half a day, not only was he able to get out of bed, but he was also able to go to school and eat without any delay. He didn't look like someone who had just recovered from a serious illness at all.

Xiao Shuyi is in high spirits every day, even more energetic than before.

The atmosphere of the detective agency gradually returned to its former state. The only difference was that the little follower behind Dazai disappeared.

The teenager who had been hiding in the corner of the conference room to steal snacks for years was no longer seen, and Ranpo could no longer find snacks in the old place. The cabinets were covered with a layer of dust, and it seemed that no one had restocked them for a long time.

Ranpo would often lie where Jie Shuyi was, holding a small cake in his hand, in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Jie Shuyi used to stay in the detective agency when he didn't have classes. After Odasaku came, he seemed to want to make up for the time they didn't spend together. When he didn't have classes, he would take Odasaku out shopping and eating.

Even Odasaku felt a little exhausted after several days.

Today is Friday and Xie Shuyi has no classes in the afternoon.

Odasaku was standing at the school gate. Thanks to Jie Shuyi who always liked to report his daily life, Odasaku roughly knew when his get out of class would be over.

Oda Sakusada went to the curry restaurant that Hejie Shuyi had mentioned. These days, the child had been taking him around to eat and walk around, and he also wanted to give the child a surprise and take him to eat curry.

Odasaku was waiting at the school gate early.

As time passed, the time on the watch moved from 11:30 to 1:30 in the afternoon. The child finished class at 12 o'clock and it was already very late.

Odasaku found a stone pillar to sit on and looked towards the school with some worry.

Will colleges also give detentions?

As Odasaku was looking around, a student spotted him. He had just finished his morning class and had lunch in the cafeteria.

"Uncle, who are you looking for?"

Odasaku retracted his gaze, glanced at the medical book in the student's hand, and asked tentatively, "Do you know Jie Shuyi?"

The boy glanced at him strangely and scratched his head, "Uncle, don't you know? Senior Xie was asked to drop out of school."

Odasaku paused for a moment, "What?"

"Senior Xie's case has caused a lot of uproar in the school. His academic performance is very good, and the school originally planned to focus on training him. But it is said that Senior Shi Yu, who became his partner, has disappeared, and Senior Xie is already a big suspect. He also publicly hurt himself in the laboratory and even poured sulfuric acid on himself. The other seniors in the laboratory were all shocked, and the school believed that he had a mental illness. They wanted to take him to the hospital, but Senior Xie disagreed and continued to hurt himself in the laboratory. The school believed that this behavior had endangered others, so they persuaded him to leave."

"This matter has caused a lot of uproar, and you didn't even know about it?"

Just then, Odasaku received a text message from the child on his mobile phone.

[Uncle, get out of class is over~ Where did you go? Why didn’t I find you in the hotel (? ? ?? )~]

Xie Shuyi lay on the table and waited for a long time. He looked at his phone for a long time but did not receive any reply. His bright eyes gradually dimmed.

He switched the page on his phone to the tracker page.

Looking at the flashing red dot above, which stopped at the entrance of RB University, Xie Shuyi's expression remained unchanged. He lowered his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

He stood up, stretched lazily, and left the hotel while yawning.

He called a taxi and rushed to RB University. The uncle was waiting at the school gate like a fool. No matter Xie Shuyi sent messages or called, the uncle did not answer.

Along the way, Xie Shuyi looked at the scenery outside the window, felt the cool breeze on his face, was stunned for a while, then took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a number.

"Hey?"

"Why did you think of calling me, Xiao Yi-chan?" Dazai closed the book, put down his crossed legs from the table, and spoke in a lazy tone full of smiles.

"I seem to have made the uncle angry. Please help me, Mr. Dazai." He spoke in a coquettish tone, and one could guess from the tone of his voice that Jie Shuyi had a smile on his face at the moment.

Only the driver looked at the rearview mirror curiously, with a hint of panic in his eyes.

He saw with his own eyes that the boy in the back seat reached his hand out of the window countless times despite his attempts to stop him. The driver clearly emphasized that he would get hurt, but the boy became even more excited after hearing the words "he would get hurt".

It was as if he was expecting his hand to be broken.

And just now, the boy made a sound with a forced smile, like a doll making mechanical sounds. When the task was completed, he put away his phone, continued to maintain his previous state, and stretched his hand out of the window.

When we arrived at the destination, the driver stepped on the accelerator almost non-stop, not wanting to stay here for a moment.

Xie Shuyi watched him leave and curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

When he turned around, he saw the uncle sitting on the wooden stake at the school gate.

Xie Shuyi skipped over and said, "Uncle, why don't you reply to my message?"

Odasaku raised his head when he heard the voice. He seemed to have not yet sorted out his emotions. When he saw Jie Shuyi, he opened his mouth, with countless words in his mind, but he couldn't say anything.

Xie Shuyi seemed to be unaware of it and put his arm around the uncle.

"Mr. Dazai said there's a detective agency dinner today, and he wants me to invite you to join us. You won't refuse, right?"

Odasaku was pulled up by him and looked into the boy's bright smiling face. Finally, he reached out and touched Shuyi's head.

"it is good."
