School has been open for a long time.

Sheen sat alone in his dorm after class.

The working hours of the Pharmacy Department and the Ministry of Magic are slightly different:

Sean is a person who gets up early and comes home early, while Eric is a person who gets up late and comes home late.

At night, Sheen had plenty of time to rest.

Sean sat at the coffee table and thought carefully about Eric's lifestyle in the past few days and the way they greeted each other:

Although they lived in the same dormitory, on the upper and lower floors, every time Eric came back he would go straight upstairs, as if the lower floor was occupied by a tenant.

Sheen couldn't help but think of the way he lived in Haines before (when he was 13 years old) - even eating was a way of chatting.

Eric often eats alone at his seat in the cafeteria, and even when others greet him, he acts indifferent.

And, it seems like these days...

"Eric seemed to be avoiding me, as if he regarded me as an enemy..."

Sheen expressed frustration:

"Is the way Impers get along with each other so cold?"

This won't do.

How about throwing a bait over there?

The next day at noon, during library time, Sheen met Eric's classmates in the library (from the logo, it can be seen that they are freshmen in the School of Pharmacy).

"Hi, Danny."

Coincidentally, Sheen knew this guy a little bit - he helped out when he borrowed a book.

"It's Sheen."

Danny moved his eyes from the bookshelf to Sean. He saw that Sean was holding two newly borrowed books in his hands (if he didn't hold some books, people would be suspicious).

"It's been a long time since we last met..."

Danny smiled widely.

"Yes, it is,"

Sean smiled and handed Danny a note.

"I heard that you and Eric have Potions class at the same time this afternoon. Could you please pass this on to Eric for me?"

"Huh? Aren't you and Eric roommates..."

Danny just finished speaking when he suddenly realized something.

"Oh, maybe it's because you, Sheen, are Haines's people, so he is a little wary of you, right?"

Danny's muttered words caught Sheen's attention.

"What?" Sheen was a little confused, his hand holding the note hanging in the air.

Danny looked at Sheen with a puzzled look on his face:

"Oh, I remember. Sheen, you don't live in Haines..."

"Then let me tell you..." Danny blurted out,

"The management stance of Haines and Impress is 'respect but not agreement'. In addition, the Duke of Impress killed many people with royal blood to secure his title. And Haines is close to the royal family..."

The implication is——

Although Haines and Impes are two major families blessed by the oracle, their respective governance models are displeasing to each other.

(The key word is 'unpleasant to the eye')

Sheen’s inner thoughts: I understand this because I have read the book.

......

Danny pointed with his left hand at the note Sean handed him:

"Well, what did you write on it?"

Xien regained consciousness and answered truthfully:

(Smile)

"Eric has been very busy lately. I brought some tea that can make people feel comfortable, and I thought of inviting him to my private lounge on Saturday..."

As he was talking, Sheen stuffed the note into Danny's hand:

"I don't mean anything, really...

"I just want to get along well with him."

"Please, Eric, you must agree to this!"

This Saturday.

Students are allowed to move freely on Saturdays and Sundays. Of course, the place where they go on vacation is usually the college’s own beach: the beaches in the north are relatively cooler and the ultraviolet rays are not too strong.

You don’t need to wear school uniform when playing in this place, but you still need to pay attention to safety.

The villa that Arthur bought for Sean is on this coast (a gift for Sean’s 16th birthday).

(Humming a tune)

The villa is not big, but very cozy:

It is a three-story white house with a private beach in the front yard and an open-air garden in the back yard.

Not far away is the "shuttle bus area" from the college to the coast. This arrangement is very convenient.

The surrounding scenery is all wooden structures with a pastoral style, without any solemnity created by decoration.

"It is confirmed that this is the decoration style that Arthur likes..."

Since it is next to the sea, you can even swim in the sea in the summer.

It is autumn now, and taking a walk in the evening or having a barbecue by the sea are both good choices.

On the third floor of the villa lived a very kind old lady, who was the housekeeper who had previously served Arthur. After Arthur's "death", she followed Arthur and left the Duke's Mansion, and lived here after retirement.

Of course she was happy that Sean came to stay here for a while, and she even prepared a lot of delicious snacks for Sean.

(Sheen is flattered)

......

Sheen, dressed in casual uniform, sits in the villa tea room.

As Sean was standing by the window happily admiring the coastal scenery, he heard a knock on the door.

Knock knock knock...

The system took a look through the peephole at the door, then flew to Sheen:

"That's Eric outside the door. He actually accepted the invitation."

“He’s coming!!”

Sheen immediately became wary - after all, this time he was dealing with a character that didn't even exist in the novel!

Da da da...

Sheen put on his coat, walked to the door immediately and opened it himself.

Just as the system said, Eric, wearing a light blue windbreaker, stood at the door. When he saw Sheen open the door, he took off the gray hat on his head.

You can see that Eric still has a stern face: he is still wary of Sheen.

Sheen had anticipated this response.

But he didn't panic.

Sincerity is always a must-win.

"You're welcome to take some time out of your busy schedule, Eric Impes."

Sheen, with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face, welcomed Eric into his leisure hut.

Then close the door immediately.

While Eric was hanging his windbreaker on the floor rack that Sean had specially prepared by the door, Sean ran to the table to prepare tea:

"Would you like some tea?"

(Don't look Eric in the eye, don't look Eric in the eye!)

"no thank you."

After Eric hung up his windbreaker, he sat down across from Sheen.

After confirming that there was no one around, Eric immediately asked:

"You insulted me, why?"

......

Eric's expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book - it turned out that under his seemingly enthusiastic face, he was so wary of Sheen.

His sky-blue eyes, which seemed clear and charming on the surface, were now filled with murderous intent.

Sheen thought:

Fortunately, I have read "The Game of Mediation"...

"It looks like my note got to you safely, Eric,"

Out of courtesy, Sean pushed the tea in his hand to Eric.

"But I didn't insult you."

The atmosphere was still very gloomy, and it was obvious that Eric was still highly wary of Sheen.

Eric looked down at the color of the tea and tried to smell it.

After confirming that the tea was non-toxic, he continued to look Sheen in the face.

Eric half-opened his eyes, his sky-blue pupils full of vigilance:

"Are you sure that note you wrote to me wasn't an insult to me?"
