Yi Yongdao said: “Stay home for dinner today, let your teacher’s wife make something delicious for you.”
Luo Yingbai laughed and said: “How could I refuse. Teacher… if you could cancel the two reading notes you punished me with last time, that would be even better.”
Yi Yong: “…”
He knew this kid was the type who would bloom with just a bit of sunshine, who would get cocky at the slightest opportunity.
Gritting his teeth, he didn’t dare to scold him and said reluctantly: “Do as you please!”
Luo Yingbai had escaped punishment and was instantly carefree and happy, feeling that life was wonderful. He followed the principal and teacher, eager to enjoy good food.
He had no idea that in just a few short hours, Weibo was already in an uproar.
Chapter 15: Topic
The origin of the Weibo dispute was a post by Ou Ziheng, the actor playing the male lead in the TV drama “Time Like the Sea”, which simply read: “Hehe, blind.”
Previously, the drama’s screenwriter Gai Xiao had commented that Luo Yingbai was more suitable to play the male lead Wen Langyu. Ou Ziheng screenshot this and added it below, his meaning self-evident.
It was no wonder Ou Ziheng was angry. Wen Langyu was clearly a character he was playing, but Gai Xiao, as the screenwriter, publicly said that someone who wasn’t even an actor was her ideal male lead. This was quite face-slapping.
Unlike most artists who are cautious when speaking, Ou Ziheng’s father was one of the drama’s investors. This time he didn’t hesitate to mock her back with a Weibo post.
His feud with Gai Xiao had never stopped since the drama’s start. Ou Ziheng thought that even if the media wasn’t on his side, his fans would at least curse a bit. Unexpectedly, due to his usual behavior, most comments under his post were actually criticizing him.
Pei Cong rolled his eyes, watching Zhao Qi open a game page. He thought there was no need to get upset over such a small matter. He swallowed his displeasure and didn’t stop him.
Zhao Qi was immersed in the game, with noisy music filling the entire office. Pei Cong put on his headphones. After a while, Zhao Qi secretly glanced at Pei Cong and, seeing him deeply engrossed in reading, minimized the game interface. Using the cover of the music, he found the folder labeled “Graduate Student Innovation Project Report.”
The files were named after students. Due to the high difficulty, not many people had signed up, and Zhao Qi immediately saw the three characters “Luo Yingbai.”
A cold smile crossed Zhao Qi’s face. He opened Luo Yingbai’s project paper, skimmed through it, changed the name and student number to his own, and clicked save.
Tomorrow is May 4th. When the teachers come to work, they will review these papers and submit them to the city. By the time Luo Yingbai finds out, it will be too late. Everything was seamless, and absolutely no one could provide evidence against him.
After completing this, he lost interest in gaming and said: “Not playing anymore! This damn computer is about to drive me crazy!”
Pei Cong looked up at Zhao Qi, saw him push away the chair and slam the door, couldn’t help but curl his lip, went over to shut down the computer, straightened the chair, and sat back to continue reading.
Zhao Qi came out of the office, and several male students gathered around him. One of them laughed and asked: “Zhao Ge, is it done? I’m really curious about how you’re going to deal with that guy. Tell us so we can see the excitement!”
Zhao Qi snorted: “Just wait and see when I make my move.”
The group laughed and walked out: “I’ve never seen Zhao Ge talk much to Sun Yue before. I just found out she’s your cousin… Zheng Ge really loves his sister, going to such lengths to help her get revenge.”
Zhao Qi’s family was indeed distantly related to Sun Yue, and he had conveniently used her as an excuse to say he was going to teach Luo Yingbai a lesson for Sun Yue. Hearing others mention this, he didn’t directly respond, only saying: “This isn’t over between us. Just wait.”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone said: “Hey, speak of the devil, isn’t Luo Yingbai right there?”
Zhao Qi looked up and indeed saw Luo Yingbai walking towards them, his eyes brightening: “Perfect timing, let’s go over.”
Luo Yingbai had just finished lunch at the Yi family and was personally driven back to school by Yi Yong.
After getting out of the car and thanking the teacher, he mechanically walked towards the dormitory.
There weren’t many people on campus, and the road was wide. But after walking a few steps, a group of people came towards him, and the leader directly and forcefully bumped into Luo Yingbai’s shoulder.
Luo Yingbai stood in place, looking at him stupidly, not yet reacting. Zhao Qi, who bumped into him, took several steps back and fell heavily to the ground.
Luo Yingbai looked down at him, feeling the person seemed familiar but unable to recall who he was. Knowing he had apparently bumped into someone, he looked adorably confused and said: “Sorry?”
One of Zhao Qi’s followers immediately became angry. They were originally planning to cause trouble anyway, and immediately pushed Luo Yingbai, shouting: “Looking for trouble?”
Then he also sat on the ground.
Chapter 16: Prophecy
A bewildered Luo Yingbai: “Hahaha.”
Luo Yingbai had no idea they were trying to pick a fight with him. Seeing two people sitting on the ground, he found it interesting.
After laughing, Luo Yingbai mimicked Zhao Qi and sat down on the ground, blinking and looking at him.
Zhao Qi was about to go crazy. Although he could smell the faint alcohol on Luo Yingbai and could see he was drunk, the guy’s stupid grin was just too punchable!
Zhao Qi got up from the ground, pointing at Luo Yingbai: “You motherf—”
“Hey, what’s going on here!”
Before he could finish, a shout came from nearby. Two male students carrying bags rushed over. One went to help Luo Yingbai, and the other restrained Zhao Qi: “What are you doing? Trying to fight?”
These two were Luo Yingbai’s dormmates who had just returned to campus. Seeing their friend seemingly being bullied, they rushed over to help.
“What the hell? Which eye of yours saw me touch him?” Zhao Qi was going mad. Although he had indeed come to cause trouble, he hadn’t even touched Luo Yingbai.
Before he could say more, what was the deal with these two newcomers? Were they trying to frame him?!
Hearing Zhao Qi still dare to lie, one of Luo Yingbai’s dormmates got angry: “You’re still saying you didn’t touch him?”
I saw from far away that Yingbai was sitting on the ground, and you were pointing at him with your finger. If you didn’t push him, how could he sit down by himself?”
Zhao Qi: “…He sat down by himself, damn it!!!
Deng Wanlin supported Luo Yingbai, frowning and said: “Are you spouting such nonsense? Do you think you’re an idiot, or do you think we are?”
He supported Luo Yingbai, able to smell the alcohol on him, wondering in his heart what had happened during his brief trip home for the May Day holiday. How could someone as harmless as Luo Yingbai get this drunk and be picked on?
Deng Wanlin grabbed a newly bought chilled mineral water bottle and poured a few sips into his mouth, patting Luo Yingbai’s face: “Yingbai, hey, wake up! Come back to your senses!”
Stimulated by the cold water, Luo Yingbai regained some clarity, looked up and saw his roommate, feeling quite happy: “Oh, Wanlin, you’re back!”
Deng Wanlin: “… Buddy, you’re driving me crazy. Why were you sitting on the ground just now?”
Zhao Qi strode over and grabbed Luo Yingbai’s arm: “Alright, no more playing dumb? Speak clearly, did I do anything to you?”
Luo Yingbai rubbed his temple, still not fully clear-headed, but recognized Zhao Qi in front of him: “I forgot… then probably not, right?”
