Qi Lin: This Scoop Is Guaranteed Ripe—Seriously! (Seeking Investment, Seeking Votes~)

The peaceful Shadu Kingdom—a temple standing amid a desolate desert—welcomed a group of unusual visitors today.

At the same time, at Giant Gorge City Super God Academy, Qi Lin and He Wei Lan had arrived early as well.

And when you arrived early, you were bound to catch a different kind of show.

For example...

They ran into Ge Xiaolun!

The three of them chatted as they followed behind Rose.

Ge Xiaolun looked at the two women in surprise. "What, you two police officers came here too?"

"What? Just because you're allowed to have superpowers doesn't mean we aren't~"

Qi Lin looked at Ge Xiaolun playfully.

Qi Lin had a fairly good impression of Ge Xiaolun.

Although he looked a little like a loser, his sense of justice and willingness to stand up for others made Qi Lin think highly of him.

"No, no, no..."

Ge Xiaolun waved his hands repeatedly and said awkwardly, "That's not what I meant. I was just surprised, that's all..."

Wanting to move past the awkward topic as quickly as possible, Ge Xiaolun asked again, "Um... that guy who beat the crap out of us that day, he's your boyfriend, right? Does he know who you are now?"

Qi Lin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered that Ge Xiaolun and Liu Chuang still had not received compensation for their medical bills.

Moreover, Mo Xing had handed this money over to Qi Lin a long time ago. There had simply been too much going on lately, and she had forgotten about it.

Only after Ge Xiaolun brought it up did Qi Lin suddenly remember.

After nodding, Qi Lin explained, "About him hitting you that day, I'd like to apologize to you here."

"He'd only just finished up with work that day, and the two of us were on a date. Because of what happened with you, we were called to the scene at the last minute, so..."

Ge Xiaolun felt awkward after hearing that, but he also understood why Mo Xing had started pounding on the two of them the moment he met them. It turned out they had interrupted the couple's date...

"Hehe, it's nothing, it's nothing..."

Ge Xiaolun shook his head awkwardly and said understandingly, "Although he hit pretty hard that day, they were only superficial injuries. After the two of us awakened our superpowers, we recovered quickly."

Qi Lin continued with a smile, "Thank you for understanding. But after hitting you that day, he also said he wanted to compensate the two of you. After all, hitting people is wrong."

"And I had the money with me already, but because of these past few days..."

She looked at Ge Xiaolun apologetically. "You know how it is, so I forgot."

Ge Xiaolun nodded understandingly. "Me too. These past few days really have been a bit overwhelming..."

"But..."

Just as Ge Xiaolun was about to refuse Qi Lin's compensation, he saw her casually pull a thick stack of Red Notes from her bag. Ge Xiaolun swallowed hard before he could stop himself.

After all, back in 2013 or 2014, ten thousand RMB was no small amount!

What was more, Ge Xiaolun was only a college student—a college student who had never entered society.

"Pfft~"

Seeing Ge Xiaolun's reaction, Qi Lin could not help laughing.

"Hehe~ Sorry, sorry..."

As she spoke, Qi Lin handed the ten thousand yuan in her hand to Ge Xiaolun.

Ge Xiaolun accepted the money with a flushed face.

It was not that he did not want to refuse it—it was just that ten thousand yuan really was a lot!

Before long, Rose led them to the dormitory arranged for Ge Xiaolun.

After pushing open the door, Rose pointed at the room and said to Ge Xiaolun, "There, this is your dorm."

Ge Xiaolun looked at the empty dormitory and asked curiously, "Do you live here too?"

Rose froze for a moment, then retorted, "Of course I don't live here!"

Ge Xiaolun immediately became anxious. "But didn't that person say that you and I would be roommates?"

The moment those words came out, the two policewomen beside them instantly became interested. Their eyes widened as they eagerly waited for the gossip.

"Who?"

"That... what was his name again? That man in black, wearing sunglasses! A guy!"

"A Jie!" Qi Lin, determined to make sure this gossip was fully ripe, promptly reminded him.

"Yes, yes, yes! That was what the guy named A Jie said!"

Ge Xiaolun spoke excitedly to Rose, then cast Qi Lin a grateful look.

Qi Lin smiled mischievously and returned the look, signaling that there was no need to thank her—they should continue.

Although Qi Lin had made sure this melon was ripe, Rose was having none of it.

"Listen, girl. Even if your husband is strong and can fight, there are some things he can't just say recklessly!"

Rose had never been interested in a loser like Ge Xiaolun to begin with. On top of that, he usually acted all meek and submissive, which made Rose, with her military background, dislike him even more.

Although A Jie had agreed to Ge Xiaolun's request, Rose herself, as the person involved, had never explicitly refused.

That left two possible interpretations.

First: she had tacitly agreed!

Second: she had ignored it!

Obviously, Ge Xiaolun believed Rose had tacitly agreed back then. If she wanted to refuse now, that meant she was going back on her word.

She had played him, Ge Xiaolun, for a fool!

Yet from beginning to end, Rose had maintained only one attitude: ignore him!

So when it came to sharing a dorm room with Ge Xiaolun, she had never taken it seriously at all!

But now, Ge Xiaolun had suddenly brought it up.

That alone would have been one thing!

Rose had originally thought that since A Jie had not revealed her name to Ge Xiaolun, she could make an issue out of the fact that he did not know A Jie's name.

But Qi Lin, this melon-eating bystander, had given Ge Xiaolun some off-field support!

After hearing Rose say that, Qi Lin stuck out her tongue and smiled apologetically at Rose.

Still, she intended to keep eating this melon.

Just as Qi Lin was about to continue enjoying the show, Ge Xiaolun, in order to "thank" her for her off-field support, had already begun his performance.

"No, are you that guy's shill or something?!"

That made Rose extremely unhappy. With a Micro Wormhole transport, she directly moved a knife over; it skimmed past Ge Xiaolun's hair and stabbed into the dorm door!

Seeing that, Ge Xiaolun stopped pressing the matter and eagerly changed the subject himself.

"Is that divine power?!!! Will I be able to do that someday too?"

Rose smiled faintly. "No. Yours is something else."

"What?"

Seeing Ge Xiaolun's adorably dumb expression, Rose gave him a mischievous smile. "Getting beaten!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a volleyball appeared from the door and repeatedly slammed into Ge Xiaolun's head.

Amid Ge Xiaolun's cries of "Ow!", he collapsed onto the floor.

Rose looked at Ge Xiaolun and said unhappily, "Honestly, I don't really want to know you!"

Looking up at those legs beneath her jeans—the kind one could admire for years—Ge Xiaolun asked innocently, "Why?"

"Why? What are you even here for? Is this where you're supposed to be?"

Rose's barrage of questions left Ge Xiaolun completely bewildered.

Ge Xiaolun, lying on the floor, got to his feet along Rose's legs.

And Rose did not miss the way Ge Xiaolun wanted to look but did not dare to.

"Looking? You're still looking!"

"Why are you staring at my legs? What does that have to do with you?"

"Didn't you people make me come here?"

"Did I make you come? If you don't want to be here, then get lost!"

"Then I'm leaving!"

This time, Ge Xiaolun got angry too. He grabbed his suitcase, turned around, and prepared to leave.

Rose immediately gave in.

"Hey, hey, hey~ You win. Stay!"

"You told me to leave!"

"If I tell you to leave, you leave? Did you come here for me, and are you leaving because of me?"

The exchange between the two left Qi Lin and He Wei Lan watching with deeply satisfied expressions. "This melon really is ripe!"
