Yan Qing chuckled dryly a couple of times.
Whether to recommend or not was beside the point; he and Tan Ming both recognized Qi Qiuluo's talent for pulling them around in circles!
Ah, I almost forgot, you're still the roommate of a big star. Could it be that you’re graduating soon and, to save money, bought someone else's thesis plagiarism check quota? When they accidentally clicked on the computer while checking, the thesis turned out to have a 90% similarity rate? Fan Xiaonan teased him.
This was something Wang Chong, that big mouth, had mentioned in the dormitory, letting them hear it as a joke.
Upon hearing this, Tan Ming also looked at Yan Qing.
Such a rookie mistake didn’t seem like something a soon-to-be graduate should make.
"Not me! My thesis is fine!"
"That day, weren’t you in the library revising your thesis?" Tan Ming asked him.
"I was just looking for some references. A few of them weren’t right, so I was making some changes. It really wasn’t me. If it were Yan Qing, he might admit it; who knows if he could even survive this? What’s there to be ashamed of? It’s just a little embarrassing."
But it truly wasn’t him.
Fan Xiaonan clicked his tongue: "Maybe I heard wrong; Wang Chong might have been talking about a friend. I thought it was a roommate."
He murmured to himself but then realized Zhao Xiang was the only roommate he knew; he thought it was you but ended up misunderstanding.
Yan Qing was curious: "How do you know me? Did Zhao Xiang tell you?"
Fan Xiaonan smiled slightly: "I know Zhao Xiang, but he doesn’t know who I am. It’s my roommate who knows Zhao Xiang. As for you, who doesn’t know you at our school? You’re the campus beauty."
Upon hearing this, Qi Qiuluo looked at Yan Qing and stroked his chin.
Fortunately, Yan Qing hadn’t been drinking water; otherwise, he might have spat it out.
In truth, when it came to this topic, Yan Qing felt quite speechless.
Back in freshman year, someone had initiated a campus beauty contest thread. He didn’t know which kind-hearted person had put his photo up there and voted him first. If he ever found out who was voting, Yan Qing would definitely curse them out!
Because of that, Yan Qing felt embarrassed for quite a long time; whenever he walked around campus, people would stop and whisper about him.
At that time, Yan Qing felt completely uncomfortable.
His social media information had also been exposed; every day there were people from his school and neighboring schools messaging him—mostly guys.
Their self-introductions were all too consistent.
"Hello, I’m so-and-so. You look great! I’d love to get to know you better," followed by a picture of their abs.
During that time, Yan Qing was almost driven to frustration. What had started as a prank had turned into a mess. Eventually, the person who originally posted came to apologize, deleted the post, and issued an online apology, which gradually calmed things down.
However, Yan Qing still felt uneasy. Since that incident, he hardly spent any time at school. He rented a place outside and found a gig singing at a bar. Whenever he had free time, he traveled around since his university classes were sparse, leaving him with plenty of leisure time.
Yan Qing was not in a good mood. Fan Xiaonan still wanted to tease him, but Tan Ming shot him a deep glance, causing Fan Xiaonan to instinctively close his mouth. Yan Qing sighed and finally asked them, “Have you all seen that photo?”
Qi Qiuluo replied casually, “Yeah, I saw it. As soon as I realized it was a girl, I lost interest. But then I found out it was a guy, and the more I looked at it, the more curious I became. I almost went to your music class to confront you about it, but then I ran into someone even more handsome on the way and decided against it.”
The others remained silent; they had no recollection of it. Master Ban and Ke Jianping were unlikely to follow their school’s forum, Ling Xingyuan wasn’t from their school, and even if Zhang Liu had seen it, he would have forgotten by now.
Fortunately, among so many people, only Qi Qiuluo and Fan Xiaonan knew about it. Yan Qing felt relieved but noticed Tan Ming avoiding his gaze.
“Please tell me you didn’t see it too,” he thought in despair. “That would be mortifying!”
