Before his hand could touch the doorknob, the door was kicked open. Several police officers rushed in. In the chaos, Wang Diao’s phone flew out, landing on the floor. The last unread reply was accidentally displayed, the bright screen facing the ceiling.
“White Brother’s fortune-telling”: “Police officers are at the door. Please be prepared. No need to thank me.”
Unexpectedly, Wang Diao was a serial tomb raider. With rich experience, he had discovered several ancient tombs even before archaeologists. This investigation had unexpectedly uncovered numerous precious cultural relics.
Days later, the city’s public security bureau’s official Weibo specially tagged the anonymous blogger “White Brother’s fortune-telling”, expressing gratitude.
” Chapter 18: Difficulty Waking Up When the official Weibo made an announcement, gaining followers was just a matter of minutes. However, when reporting the incident, Luo Yinbai had not yet foreseen the subsequent effects.
After reporting the situation, he began browsing other friends’ Weibos.
He happened to see a new Weibo post by Xia Jianning, posted last night, with just a simple round smiley face.
Luo Yinbai burst out laughing.
This small account was unknown to others. He had accidentally discovered it while playing with the other’s phone years ago. To avoid being beaten to death, Luo Yinbai had never mentioned it to Xia Jianning. But this guy actually posts on Weibo – how surprising!
The small, round face was adorned with two faint blushes, looking extremely happy, with a cute and adorable feeling that seemed strangely out of sync with Xia Jianning’s temperament. Luo Yingbai laughed and pounded the bed, almost suspecting he had been hacked.
Just then, a gentle knock came from outside the dormitory.
Luo Yingbai quickly tidied up his messy clothes: “Come in.”
The person who entered was a bespectacled male student, in his twenties, thin and pale-skinned, wearing clothes neatly pressed, giving an immediate impression of a young scholar heading to the imperial examinations in ancient times.
He was carrying several bags, his gaze vacant as if looking into the distant starry sea. “
After entering, he smiled shyly and asked towards the empty bed next to Tang Yuebo, “Excuse me, is Luo Yingbai in this dormitory?”
Luo Yingbai said, “…Classmate, speaking to that side makes me feel a bit uneasy. Turn around.”
The male student bewilderedly turned his head, finally noticing the living person, and apologized embarrassedly: “Sorry, I accidentally wore my nearsighted glasses as plain glasses. I’m Qiu Ziping from the directing major, a third-year graduate student. I’m the brother of the girl who was almost hit downstairs at the teaching building. This is something my sister bought and couldn’t bring into the male dormitory, so she asked me to deliver it to you.”
He put down the items and continued, “Thank you so much for that incident. It’s nothing expensive, so please don’t mind it. If you need any help in the future, just let me know.”
Luo Yingbai actually felt a bit guilty because if he hadn’t tried to save Tang Yuebo by pulling him away, that girl would have been in no danger at all. Strictly speaking, he was the one who caused the girl to be frightened and lose a bicycle.
Luo Yingbai quickly said, “No need, I should have done that. Please take your things back.”
Qiu Ziping naturally disagreed, and they tussled for a bit before Luo Yingbai reluctantly accepted the items. Qiu Ziping seemed reluctant to leave and curiously asked, “Luo, do you really know how to read fortunes and physiognomy?”
“
Luo Yingbai, who had only discussed this with Tang Yuebo, knew his friend would never casually mention it to others. He smiled and asked, “Who told you about this?”
Only after the two of them had finished washing up, packed their books, and started eating the bread they had bought the day before did Luo Yingbai slowly sit up under their repeated attempts, looking aggrieved: “It’s Sunday and we don’t have classes today! Are you guys crazy?”
He sat cross-legged on the bed, wrapped in a blanket, wearing short-sleeved pajamas. His not-yet-awake expression on his delicate face paradoxically gave him a lazy, attractive look.
“
Fang Wei glanced at him while eating bread, speaking coldly: “Don’t keep acting cute just because you’re good-looking. We don’t have classes today, but there’s an elective course’s final exam. If you dare to miss the exam by oversleeping again, you’ll have to try seducing Mona Lisa!”
Luo Yingbai instantly became alert, jumping up from the bed: “No way, she’s married! I can’t be a mistress!”
Deng Wanlin was drinking milk and playing with his phone. When he heard this, he almost choked.
“What the hell!”
Luo Yingbai and Fang Wei were startled and looked over in confusion.
Deng Wanlin held up his phone to them: “Come and look at this! Am I seeing things? Why is Zhao Qi’s name on this project?”
Luo Yingbai took his phone and saw the school’s official website displaying the “National Graduate Student Innovation Project List”. Originally, only Luo Yingbai from their grade had submitted a project, but after the selection, Luo Yingbai’s name was absent from the list, and instead Zhao Qi’s name appeared.
Of course, the possibility that Luo Yingbai was eliminated and Zhao Qi submitted later existed, but Deng Wanlin and Fang Wei had previously seen Luo Yingbai’s project topic – and Zhao Qi’s version hadn’t changed a single word!
Fang Wei, looking over Luo Yingbai’s shoulder, cursed: “Zhao Qi is too shameless! Absolutely despicable! We’re not letting this go!
Deng Wanlin, having calmed down from his initial anger, said solemnly: “Wait. Zhao Qi definitely secretly replaced Yingbai’s project with his own name. Now that it’s already been published, even if we want to report this to the teachers, we need evidence.”
Fang Wei responded: “How can we prove something like this! It’s not handwritten, and we can’t verify the handwriting. Are we supposed to expect the teachers to listen to them debate? He definitely planned this precisely because of that. Damn it!”
Zhao Qi was instantly furious, but at that moment, Zou Ying, who was distributing exam papers, walked in. He could only sit angrily across from Luo Yingbai, recalling the previous awkward encounter in the office, losing even the joy of successfully claiming the research topic.
“Just you wait,” he thought resentfully, “I’ll get back at you soon!”
Luo Yingbai poked the back of a female student in front of him and whispered, “Sister Qian, can I borrow your glasses for the exam?”
The girl turned and looked at him in surprise, “What are you up to? We’re taking an essay exam, and the desks are so far apart. Even with my discounted 8.5 prescription glasses, you couldn’t cheat even with a telescope.”
Luo Yingbai said, “Oh, I’m just trying to create a psychological impression of being cultured to get a good grade. Come on, lend them to me, and I’ll buy you breakfast tomorrow!”
By then, Zou Ying had started unsealing the exam papers. The girl laughed and handed over her glasses case, slapping it into Luo Yingbai’s hand.
Her prescription wasn’t strong, and Luo Yingbai didn’t feel dizzy wearing them. About an hour into the exam, he caught a glimpse of Zhao Qi secretly reaching into his pocket and pulling out a crumpled piece of paper.
Luo Yingbai quickly stood up before Zhao Qi could drop the paper by his feet and loudly announced, “Teacher, Zhao Qi is cheating!”
A stone creates a thousand waves, and the class erupted in chaos. Zhao Qi was stunned.
His first instinct was to throw the paper away, but for some reason, he seemed frozen, unable to move. Classmates turned to look at Zhao Qi, and the sharp-eyed ones could already see the paper in his hand.
