Turns out it really is Ling Yiyi.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Xian felt an inexplicable sense of annoyance and typed: How come you're with her?

Zhang Mengyao replied: I heard Mr. Qin was sick, so Xiao Xue and I went to visit her, and we happened to run into Senior Sister Ling.

Let me tell you, Senior Sister Ling is truly charming, and she looks so young and stylish. Qin Shi fell ill?

Lin Xian was momentarily stunned and typed: Mr. Qin is sick? Is it serious?

Very quickly, Zhang Mengyao replied: Not too bad, I heard it's due to overwork and stress, leading to insomnia. Insomnia?

Lin Xian immediately realized that things might not be that simple, so he asked casually: How long has Mr. Qin been sick? I was planning to audit her class today! Zhang Mengyao answered honestly: I heard it started during National Day and has been going on until now. The department has given Mr. Qin a month's leave to rest well, so you probably won't be able to audit any classes this month.

Since National Day?

Calculating the time, it's almost ten days already!

It seems...

Qin Shi is indeed in trouble, and very seriously so!

Zhang Mengyao might not be aware, but Lin Xian, who possesses master-level knowledge in applied psychology, is well aware that for someone like Qin Shi, an applied psychology professor, so-called stress and insomnia are quite laughable.

Because at their level, there are countless ways to solve this problem. Whether it's psychological suggestion, self-hypnosis, or other mental relaxation methods, they can easily alleviate stress.

But when it truly comes to this point, it indicates a very serious problem, one beyond self-control.

Even an applied psychology professor cannot control the problem, so it must be quite serious!

The key issue is that Qin Shi's case is complex and unique; she possesses two coexisting personalities.

Honestly, her situation is incredibly bizarre.

Even with master-level knowledge in applied psychology, Lin Xian still can't understand how she manages to have two personalities coexist simultaneously without interfering with each other.

This is just not scientific.

Could it be she really got possessed by a transmigrant?

While pondering, Zhang Mengyao sent another message: Darling, are you free for lunch?

Senior Sister Ling wants to treat us to a meal! Ling Yiyi wants to treat them to a meal?

Lin Xian thought for a few seconds, then smiled and said: Sure, I'll come to Jin University to find you at noon.

While thinking about Qin Shi's matter, Lin Xian chatted casually with Zhang Mengyao.

An hour and a half later

When the class bell rang, Teacher Gu Hai hugged his teaching materials and quickly walked out of the classroom. Lin Xian stood up and said to Ling Youyu beside him, "I have some matters to attend to at noon, you're going to the cafeteria by yourself, right?"

Mm-hmm!

The little girl nodded obediently.

Thinking about it, Lin Xian realized he might not come back in the afternoon, so he said, "Let's go, it's time for our daily hypnosis."

Speaking of hypnosis, Ling Youyu's little face instantly blushed again. The two of them, hand in hand, once again went to the small pavilion by the artificial lake, where Lin Xian began to hypnotize her and construct a new dreamscape.

When Ling Youyu opened her eyes, it was already close to 11:30. Even though she had experienced it twice, the little girl still found it incredibly magical.

This feeling of outside time flying by, while only a few seconds seemed to have passed for herself, was really something. Lin Xian rubbed her little head affectionately, saying, "I'm leaving first, you behave yourself at school, okay?"

Mm-hmm. Ling Youyu looked slightly dazed, as if still savoring the hypnotic experience, cute as ever. Seeing her in such an adorable state, Lin Xian's heart skipped a beat, and he leaned down to peck her cheek.

Her slightly chubby cheeks were unbelievably comfortable, both soft and elastic.

After the kiss, Lin Xian regretted it a little.

He nervously watched the little girl, afraid she would faint at any moment. However, Ling Youyu's reaction surprised Lin Xian.

Her little face flushed instantly, like a ripe cherry, even her earlobes had a faint blush. But despite the blushing, the little girl did not show signs of fainting like before, and her breathing remained calm.

Very good.

It seems the psychological suggestion and Dream Healing Method are starting to take effect.

As long as the treatment is continued, the effect should become obvious in about a month. Thinking of this, he reminded her: "Same as last time, take a hot bath and drink a cup of warm milk before bed, understand?"

Un…under…stood…

The little girl mustered up the courage and looked up to reply.

Not bad!

Lin Xian, pleased, pinched her cheek and said with a smile, "Go eat, I'm off!" Looking at his departing figure, Ling Youyu touched the spot where he had just kissed with a silly grin.

On his way to the parking lot, his phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

When he took out his phone, he saw it was Uncle Zhong?

Lin Xian answered the call, asking: "Hey, Uncle Zhong, what's up?"

On the other end of the line, Uncle Zhong's booming voice came through: "Lin Shen, the ten million you gave me last time has been used up." This fast?

Lin Xian was a bit surprised, thinking it took just over ten days to spend ten million? Damn.

The spending was faster than even him.

Uncle Zhong chuckled, "Luckily, we found some satisfactory ingredients these past few days."

"Alright, I'll transfer another ten million to you later," Lin Xian said casually. Hearing him say ten million so easily, Uncle Zhong quickly explained, "Lin Shen, there's no need for that much! We've already procured most of the main ingredients during this period. The remaining side ingredients won't cost much, five million at most will do."

Lin Xian insisted, "No worries, if there's any leftover, we'll deal with it then!"

This twenty million was meant for activities, and he couldn't use it all himself, so it would just sit idly by if not spent.

Moreover, the ingredients bought with this money would eventually become delicious food for him to eat. Uncle Zhong fell silent for a moment, obviously shocked by his generosity.

After a few seconds, Uncle Zhong said, "Alright then! Lin Shen, just send me an address, and I'll mail you the invoices for the ingredient purchases."

Lin Xian chuckled and said, "It's not necessary, Uncle Zhong!"

If someone would bet with an ancestral recipe worth billions, why would they care about this bit of money? Believe it or not, if this twenty million wasn't enough, Uncle Zhong would probably sell his house and convenience store to buy the ingredients himself.

After a few more polite exchanges, they finally ended the call. It was only ten days before the start date of the Imperial Banquet.

The thought of soon tasting an authentic Imperial Banquet made Lin Xian a little excited.

Such an experience cannot be bought with money alone; it also requires a bit of luck.

However, as soon as the call ended, his phone rang again.

Wang Hongmei!

Seeing the caller display, Lin Xian felt a bit puzzled and answered his mom's call. As soon as he picked up, Wang Hongmei's concerned voice came through: "Son, how's everything at school?"

Pretty good.

Lin Xian raised an eyebrow. He had just been at school for a few days since leaving home, and now his mom was calling to check in on him—definitely not normal.

Absolutely.

After a few pleasantries, Wang Hongmei got straight to the point, asking, "Son, that currency you bought for me last time, did it go up in price?"

Lin Xian couldn't help but smile wryly: "Mom, it's only been a few days since we bought it. Even if there's any profit, it wouldn't be much!"

Wang Hongmei pressed, "Don't beat around the bush, just tell me whether it went up or down."

Although the family was reasonably well-off, fifty thousand was no small amount for Wang Hongmei—it equaled the entire yearly income of their family-run restaurant!

Alright, I'll take a look!

With no choice, Lin Xian had to open his trading app.

After checking, he replied: "It's gone up, but not by much, just 2.809 US Dollars." Up? That's great!

On the phone, Wang Hongmei was thrilled, and then she asked, "So, son, how much have I earned?"
