They only said that Luo Yingbai was taken away by a teacher during the exam for cheating, didn’t finish his paper, and despite previously being praised as a talented campus heartthrob who made headlines for a rescue, was now exposed as a poser.
Once the Weibo post appeared, many people started commenting and criticizing.
The forum was noisy with all kinds of discussions, but Luo Yingbai knew nothing about it, as he was in the office listening to Dean Wang.
After Zou Ying brought Luo Yingbai and Zhao Qi to Dean Wang, she originally wanted to explain the situation, but was called out by a phone call before she could finish. Dean Wang, on the other hand, was friendly and trying to communicate with Luo Yingbai.
“Luo Yingbai, right?” Dean Wang smiled and said, “I’ve more or less understood what happened just now. Although you’re still students, you’re already in your early twenties. I can’t educate you like children. Let’s discuss things, and I have a thought I’d like to share with you.”
Luo Yingbai smiled and said, “Please go ahead, Dean.”
Seeing Luo Yingbai’s good attitude, Dean Wang felt more at ease and said, “Zhao Qi is my nephew, and I know him quite well. He’s been a good student since childhood and has never had such an incident in any exam. I believe he wouldn’t plagiarize. Besides, you’ve seen the handwriting on the cheat sheet – how similar it is to yours. I think we should handle it this way. It’s not easy to prepare for graduate school, and you’ll be a pillar of the nation in the future. The teachers will try to help you navigate this. This time, it’ll just be a verbal warning, no disciplinary record. What do you think?”
Dean Wang had instigated Zhao Qi to trouble Luo Yingbai but didn’t expect the matter to escalate like this. Now, his words sounded nice, but the actual meaning was to tell Luo Yingbai that he would definitely side with Zhao Qi and that Luo Yingbai should take the blame while he would try not to let him suffer too much.
Luo Yingbai said, “Dean, I understand. I know Zhao Qi is an excellent student, and he certainly wouldn’t need to cheat on such a simple exam.”
