Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 298 - 194, I will accompany you to fulfill all your wishes (2 more 2)

Shi Nian was momentarily indecisive, undoubtedly both saying "forget it" and "get lost" alone seemed inappropriate. She gave a wry smile: "Forget it, I’ll just get lost myself."

She picked up the books she borrowed: "Sorry sir, I really have something urgent to do, I’m pressed for time, so I need to leave now."

The library’s tables and chairs were all old long tables and benches, Huangfu Huazhang leisurely leaned sideways, blocking the aisle, preventing Shi Nian from leaving.

Shi Nian was taken aback and laughed: "Sir, what are you doing?"

Looking at her stack of thick books, he coolly remarked, "Given you’re pressed for time, yet have so many books to read? So, how much time are you planning to spend on these books?"

As he spoke, his gaze swept over the book spines nonchalantly: "And they are all specialized psychology books. Nian, you’re not even in this field, you wouldn’t understand these books at all."

Shi Nian blushed furiously.

She looked at him and awkwardly said, "I plan to...finish them tonight. I know these are specialized psychology books, I also know I won’t understand them at first glance, but tonight I’ll skim through them, and later I’ll spend more time studying thoroughly."

Huangfu Huazhang chuckled: "Even if you skim through them tonight, you won’t finish. If it’s for writing an article and you’re using them as references, I’d say forget it. If you want to read these books, you won’t have time to write tonight."

Shi Nian bit her lip, feeling caught in a dilemma.

He then smiled again, reaching out to tug at her sleeve: "Sit down, I’ll help you."

Shi Nian was surprised: "How can you help me? Is your major psychology?"

"No," he pressed her to sit down: "But I’ve read all the books in Kangchuan University’s library. You can directly ask me for any information you need; I can at least summarize the book contents for you, saving you from aimlessly flipping through entire thick volumes."

Shi Nian’s eyes widened: "...You’ve read all the books in this library? And you can recite them?"

Huangfu Huazhang showed no self-satisfaction on his face, instead, a faint but profound sentiment emerged quietly.

"You know about my leg situation, so ever since I was young, I’ve been best at sitting and reading. After coming here, due to my status, I have access to the library’s entire catalog, allowing me to browse at will, so I read them one by one in alphabetical order." He said, shaking his head: "For me, time used to be a vast void, and the only way to fill it was through extensive reading. Whether useful or not, once read, it stays in my mind."

He lifted his eyes to look at her, the loneliness in them gradually coalescing into a light, passionately directed at her: "I never thought one day it could actually help you, and suddenly it feels like nothing was wasted."

Shi Nian couldn’t help but recall the nine large screens in front of Guan Liang at the police station. Guan Liang could freely traverse the online world, but the data he could simultaneous pull up was just those nine screens; whereas the person sitting before her could very well be a human database, with almost limitless potential for information retrieval. Especially given the historical depth of Kangchuan University’s library, many books are ancient and cannot be found in the modern internet universe, making it a perfect supplement to what Guan Liang’s side lacked.

Especially with the "Four Centuries" clue that still lingered in her mind, Guan Liang’s search capability fell short, but perhaps Huangfu Huazhang could assist her.

She then calmed down and nodded to Huangfu Huazhang: "There’s no charge, right? Otherwise, I can’t afford your worth."

Huangfu Huazhang laughed joyfully: "The price I charge, you can afford—as long as you promise not to be mad at me any more."

Shi Nian nodded with a faint smile: "Alright."

Shi Nian took out the note she had previously put away and spread it out on the table.

"I’m investigating Rosa’s car accident. These lines I drew are all clues related to the case; those with question marks are things I can’t figure out and can’t yet get answers from the parties involved or the police. And these all fall into the realm of psychology, which is why I’m looking up psychology-related reference books."

Huangfu Huazhang squinted at them, then pointed to one of the lines: "Tell me about this one, what don’t you understand?"

The situation regarding this line was: "Sudden inspiration—three years—psychologist."

Shi Nian then briefly explained Rosa’s situation: "...Mrs. Luo said that after Rosa came back, she often cried at night and called out for a clown. To help their daughter escape her nightmare, the couple took Rosa to a psychologist for three years. It was through the psychologist’s treatment that Rosa began to gradually forget the events of that year."
