"Students, this time we are going to talk about the problem of inversion of visual field... For the brain, the abstract up and down is meaningless... Long-term visual field inversion, the scenery you see is upside down, but when you touch and carry things The limbs have also been corrected." [Note: This dialogue comes from the afternoon appointment between Lian and Xu Mo, the content of Xu Mo's lecture]

A familiar and gentle voice came from a certain classroom on the first floor of the teaching building. Miyano Shiho was outside the teaching building, with his hands folded in front of his chest, his legs crossed leaning against the wall by the window of that classroom, and his eyes looking straight ahead An empty basketball court.There are still many students sweating on the basketball court, and there are bursts of cheers from time to time, not noisy, but enthusiastic.

None of these seemed to be able to enter Miyano Shiho's eardrums. All she heard was the magnetic and pleasant voice continuing to explain professional knowledge.

"Although your field of vision has not changed, your cognition of up and down will be adjusted to be consistent with the adaptive environment. This is the effect brought about by the plasticity of the brain. The world you see may not be like this. Get rid of the chaff and save the chaff, and use it to adapt to the environment. Retire." [Note: This dialogue comes from the afternoon appointment between Lian and Xu Mo, the content of Xu Mo's lecture]

At this time, the person who was standing on the classroom podium and talking about these things did not realize that there was an unexpected guest outside his classroom. He just raised his eyes and glanced at the rows of seats below while talking about the subject, Step into the aisle of the classroom and stand in the center of the classroom.

His eyes fell directly on the window seat in the corner of the back row. There was a girl sitting in that seat. She just lowered her head and looked at the textbook thoughtfully, observing every detail even though it was the first class he taught. , he can always tell at a glance who is paying attention to the class and who is wandering away.

Unfortunately, Tao Youran was the first inattentive person targeted by this new teacher.Then, Xu Mo just smiled helplessly, shook his head slightly, then turned and walked towards the podium.

He didn't know which demon he had fallen into because of the fire. When he went to the office of his colleague Professor Wang, when he saw the name on the notebook of love language university papers on his desk, he whispered it out of nowhere. out.

"Tao Youran..."

"What? You know him?"

"Your student?"

"Oh, not really, Lao Zhang's friend's daughter told me to take a look. I hope I can give some advice on some academic problems. Well, in fact, the major is not right for me. I don't know what to give advice. It's just that my old friend doesn't know Good to refuse."

"Oh."

"Speaking of which, I have a public class on vision and brain response in two days, and I seem to have that child on the registration list. There are many research reports that have not been completed. I really don't want to go to start the class. I haven't been home on time for several days."

"Oh, it's hard work." Xu Mo pondered for a while, then pulled the corner of his mouth suddenly, and smiled evilly, but only for a moment, "Professor Wang, can you let me try?"

"What?"

"Public class."

"Huh? Xiao Xu, you haven't given a class before, have you?"

"No."

"What about... the lecture?"

"Well, no."

"This……"

"There is always a first time for everything. I was a little tired from the recent experiment, and I want to change my brain."

Professor Wang stared at Xu Mo for a while, then glanced sideways at the small A4 paper on the table, and suddenly smiled as if understanding, "That's fine, the group of inconspicuous old men like me I'm afraid the young man doesn't want to watch it, so if he changes to a handsome guy, it might have an extraordinary effect."

As Professor Wang speculated, the moment Xu Mo stepped into the classroom and stood on the podium, the atmosphere changed.The classroom, where there were still a few laughter mixed with a few small whispers, suddenly became quiet, as if everyone began to hold their breath, curious and looking forward to this airborne lecturer, especially the girls.

However, except for that one, from the very beginning, Xu Mo looked around and noticed that Tao Youran, who was different from others, although he was in this class, his mind was never integrated into it for a moment, instead of turning his head to look at I was in a daze outside the window, just staring down at the textbook and meditating.

The atmosphere in the classroom is very good, and the sunlight is also very good. It shines warmly through the glass window on the desk at the far end, but for Xu Mo, there is only one corner that exudes a faint brilliance, which attracts his attention. It always made him keep looking over there, even though to the students below, the new teacher had a nice voice, and his lectures were lively, focused, and very attractive.

"Okay, get out of class is over. I hope that my arrival today will not disgust you."

"No, no, absolutely not..."

"No, how come, teacher, you speak very well."

"Mr. Xu, will you come again?"

……

He was asking Xu Mo all kinds of questions in a hurry. At this time, he saw Tao Youran finally raised his head, looked back and looked ahead, and was suddenly startled, his eyes widened, with a look of surprise on his face.

At this moment, Xu Mo was only two or three rows away from her. He met her eyes, smiled, a little ambiguously, and suddenly became dazed. Only then could he clearly look at Tao Youran's face.Her complexion was very ugly, but such pretty eyes were full of sadness, pointing directly at Xu Mo's heart in an instant, if he read correctly, there were still traces of tears on her delicate face, and she couldn't help but feel a bit of grief, My heart hurts a little.

The surrounding students who wanted to ask questions gradually dispersed, leaving only a few female students who were particularly curious about the new teacher standing by, shy and unwilling to leave.Tao Youran looked around, feeling a little hot on her face, then lowered her head and packed up her books, stood up and walked out of the classroom.

Seeing this, Xu Mo also signaled to the students next to him that they could come to him next time, and then left leisurely.

He followed Tao Youran towards the library, and there was a short distance between the two of them all the way.Xu Mo didn't know what was wrong, he could leave right there, or he could follow up and talk to You Ran, but it seemed that there was something between him and he didn't want to get close easily.The two people who are clearly acquaintances, just like this, one in front of the other, as if they are just strangers on the same road.

Followed all the way to the library of Love Language University.

He saw Tao Youran shuttle between several bookshelves, as if looking for something, suddenly stopped in front of the bookshelf by the window, looked up at the bookshelf which was about two heads high from her, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Which one is it?"

Hearing Xu Mo's question, Tao Youran looked back and found that Xu Mo had stood beside her at some point.She didn't speak, just pointed to the top.

"little Prince?"

"Ah."

"Are you still watching these?"

Xu Mo asked a little funny as he took the book down for her.

"I used to have one too, and it was an out-of-print version. I'm afraid it was only available in the comic book store I used to go to when I was a child. Now these are not, I just..."

"what happened?"

Xu Mo handed the book "The Little Prince" to Tao Youran. It had a very common cover design, and the book was still brand new. Maybe there were only a few people who read it in college, and not many people would borrow it.

"Did you think of your father?"

"Well. I like the story of "The Little Prince". When I was a child, my father often read it to me. His favorite sentence to me was: "Maybe there are five thousand flowers in the world that are exactly like you, but only you are me." A unique rose'."

"Your father loves you very much, and you are irreplaceable in your father's heart."

"Well, but so is he, he is the brightest star in my world, or, it may be the entire starry sky."

"Youran..."

This was the first time I heard him call my name, and I was a little surprised.She has long been used to her own name, which is a very common but easy-to-pronounce name, but for the first time, she feels that her name is also pretty nice, and it is especially beautiful when it comes out of the voice of a man who makes her feel different.

She looked at him, the difference in height forced her to look up at him slightly, as if it was the first time she saw him so close, Xu Mo's eyes were really deep and special.However, she couldn't see it through, or rather, she couldn't see it. She thought Xu Mo must be a man with a story, but his eyes told her that this man had no story, and even no emotions.

Suddenly, she felt a sense of drowsiness spread to her brain. Is she too tired recently?Why do I feel so sleepy, I just want to sleep.As soon as this thought came to her, she closed her eyes unconsciously. Xu Mo quickly put his arms around Tao Youran who was about to fall, gently wrapped her arms around her shoulders, and then gently put her on the chair, and then Let her lie down on the table.

"Sleep, you are too tired..."

Xu Mo whispered this sentence to You Ran who was already asleep, then straightened up and walked to the back of the row of bookshelves.

On the other side of the aisle, Miyano Shiho was leaning against the window. The dazzling sunlight in the afternoon shone on her completely, but it seemed that she couldn't blend into the icy barrier that radiated from Miyano's body.

At that moment, Xu Mo felt that this row of bookshelves separated two worlds, even though they were nourished by the same piece of sunshine, one side was the most pleasant warm sun in the spring afternoon, warm and not too hot, making people want to step into it; On the other hand, the word "sunshine" seems to be incompatible with it, just like the scene in Xu Mo's eyes now, it is gray and white with faint light, insignificant.

It seems that this is the world I should go to.

"Our judgment and cognition of the world is not what it really is. In other words, we don't really know ourselves and others, they are all reflections of the world on our brains."

When Xu Mo walked slowly and stood in front of Miyano Shiho, he heard Miyano say something like this.This... This is the theory I just repeated in class, but...

"What?" What he didn't understand was why Miyano said this sentence.

"So, Professor Xu, do you know your real self?"

"Heh..." Xu Mo smiled without answering, and then changed the subject naturally, "You went to my class? Why didn't you see you?"

"Of course, your thoughts are all on that young lady over there."

"Ha... If Dr. Miyano comes to my class, then I will definitely pay attention to you. But, you should just be eavesdropping outside the classroom..."

"It's not important." Miyano turned his head away, instead of looking at Xu Mo, he looked sideways at the world outside the window.

The sunshine in the spring afternoon is warm, and it is very comfortable to shine on her body, but her heart cannot feel a trace of warmth and peace of mind from the beginning to the end. The sun, for her who spends her days walking in the dark, It's really too extravagant.

"Then what's important, Dr. Miyano?"

"Ares..."

Xu Mo was taken aback by the English characters he heard suddenly. He was not surprised that this name appeared in Dr. Miyano's mouth, but he was just surprised that it was suddenly revealed at this time.He unconsciously glanced sideways, trying to look at the sleeping girl through the gaps in the unfulfilled bookshelf. Miyano followed his line of sight and smiled secretly, without being noticed.

"Don't you believe in yourself? She won't wake up yet."

"I don't doubt that."

"If you want to bond with people, you risk tears."

"Ok?"

"Isn't there a saying in "The Little Prince" that says that? Professor Xu, kindly remind you not to get too close to her. It's a good thing for you and her."

Hearing this, Xu Mo lost his mind for a moment, and immediately regained his clarity. His eyes were also unusually cold and perverted, like a ball of fire, stronger than this piece of warm sun, as if activated in an instant, and suddenly cracked Kailai's emotions are called ruthless.Miyano couldn't help but tremble, this feeling was only experienced at GIN.

The difference is that she is afraid of GIN, but she is not afraid of this one in front of her.

"I'm not malicious, on the contrary, we might be partners, it's just..."

"I know exactly what I'm doing."

"I hope!" Miyano also looked at the girl across the bookshelf, who was sleeping so peacefully, and sighed, "Let's talk about it another day."

Miyano Shiho left the library, while Xu Mo stood in front of the window and watched Miyano's leaving figure coldly.Looking back at the girl lying on the table who knew nothing about what happened just now, she stretched out her hand, stroked her hair gently, and then gently stroked her face with her backhand, her eyes were no longer the same as before Frightening, but gentle as usual, as if full of pity.

After a while, he was not willing to wake up the girl, so he left alone.

On the other side, Miyano got into the private car arranged by GIN and let the driver drive all the way back to the hotel. She leaned against the window and ignored the passing scenery, as indifferent as before.She hasn't figured out how to take the next step. Over the years, she has only mechanically completed the tasks assigned by the organization. In all fairness, there is nothing wrong with the organization's treatment of her. Her current achievements and status are also cultivated by the organization. Who is to blame?Should I blame myself for being selected by the organization because of the high IQ I was born with?

Perhaps, she can take a gamble and rely on the man named Xu Mo, the person named Ares on the organization's cooperation list, even though she still doesn't understand what's going on there.

When the car passed the Lianyu City TV Station, she suddenly saw a figure—she couldn't see it clearly, but saw a pair of long black hair floating by, a small beige coat, and a mint green scarf around her neck. She sat up straight.

"parking!"

"Sherry, no parking here."

"Then drive to a nearby place and stop."

"This……"

"This is an order, do you hear me?"

Thanks to her, although she has to obey GIN in the organization, although this driver is also GIN's eyeliner, her status cannot be ignored by these unknown little guys, the driver still obediently turned a corner and stopped the car .

Miyano opened the door and immediately ran to the entrance of the TV station, but was suddenly stopped by an arm.

"Shibao."

"Zhu Xingda, get out of the way."

"You don't have a good rest in the hotel, what are you doing here?"

"I should ask you that, I just saw Mingmei."

"You read it wrong."

"Zhu Xingda, I'm not a three-year-old child..."

"Sherry! Listen to me and go back."

"Why? Tell me, why?"

Miyano Shiho raised his head and looked at the cold and flamboyant man in front of him. It was the first time he couldn't hold back his emotions in front of outsiders. There were tears in his eyes, but he tried his best to restrain himself and asked,

"Rye, do you know something? Tell me, does that have anything to do with Minmei?"

"Sherry, go back. If you don't want Mingmei to have something to do!"

——If you want to create bonds with people, you have to bear the risk of crying. She remembers another half sentence like this: The older you get, the fewer and fewer important people, and the more and more important the remaining people.

Without if, she has never been able to choose the most important tie to her in this world. Akemi Miyano was born as her older sister.Her parents had passed away unexpectedly when she was young, as if there were still so many people in her life who had intersected, bonded, and had feelings, but they all left more or less because of herself, leaving behind The next one, no, the only one left, probably only Minmei, her sister.

So, it was so important that she couldn't afford to lose it again.

Miyano Shiho ignored Moro Hoshida, but turned around and left. She didn't want to call the driver back, but walked towards the intersection in the opposite direction, paused, and reached out to stop a taxi.

Zhu Hoshi raised his head to look at the building of the TV station, and looked at the leaving figure of Miyano Shiho indifferently, muttering to himself,

"Sorry, it's not time yet."
