Within half an hour, the video had spread throughout the Beijing University, and the class group for Biological Sciences Class 2 was also discussing it enthusiastically.
[Wow, Zhao Yong, do you know Zhao Weifang? Is it really him?]
Zhao Yong immediately distanced himself, saying, "I've met you a few times at propaganda department events, but we're not close."
The assistant closely monitored the trending topics. Within half an hour, someone tried to remove the trending topic. It was one of the other men in the video. However, with Lu Lin's intervention, the trending topic was not removed and was instead pushed to the top of the trending list.
Public opinion escalated too quickly; before noon, Beijing University Weibo account issued a statement saying that the matter would be dealt with seriously and that Zhao Weifang would be expelled immediately upon verification.
Zhao Weifang was still sleeping soundly at the winery. When he got up in the afternoon and left the winery to retrieve his phone, his phone was ringing off the hook. When Zhao Weifang saw the messages, his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground. He quickly called Lu Muchi.
After a long time, Lu Muchi still didn't answer the phone. Zhao Weifang's eyes lit up. He thought of Yan Heqing. He had secretly asked Zhao Yong for his phone number. He found Yan Heqing's number and dialed it.
Beep, beep, beep...
Although only a few seconds had passed, Zhao Weifang felt as long as a year.
After an agonizing wait, the call finally went through. Zhao Weifang, his mouth full of blisters, cried out urgently, "Junior, only you can help me this time! You have to ask A-Chi to help me! I'm graduating soon and I can't be expelled. Otherwise, all these years of studying will have been for nothing, it'll be recorded in my file, and my future and my entire life will be ruined!"
He was so angry his teeth were chattering. "This is so unlucky! A reporter managed to sneak in last night! It's all those damn reporters' fault! And with so many people around, why did they have to take a picture of me?!"
A clear laugh came through the receiver.
No, you've misunderstood.
Zhao Weifang suddenly had a very strange feeling. He nervously swallowed, "Junior, what misunderstanding are you talking about?"
Yan Heqing carried the fish food to the fish tank. Both fish were a little plumper than when they first arrived. He freed one hand, scooped up a spoonful of fish food, sprinkled it into the tank, and said casually, "It's not a reporter, it's me."
"This is to thank you for taking care of me at school."
Chapter 117
Yan Heqing hung up the phone first.
He looked at the screen and didn't add Zhao Weifang to his blacklist.
There was a reason why he specifically revealed this to Zhao Weifang.
It's not hard to guess what a despicable person who schemes to get ahead will do when they're cornered and have nowhere else to turn.
If you value your life but also crave revenge, the best way is to use someone else to do the dirty work.
Zhao Weifang knew and recognized that the only "knife" he could find at this time was one that was capable and had a grudge against him.
Cheng Jian.
It was past two o'clock. All Yan Heqing had to do was wait. He got up and went back to his rented place to get his books.
During this period, he gradually moved some of his belongings to his house at Beijing University.
There wasn't much else, mostly his books.
On the way, he called Lu Lin. Last night, he went back to his place and waited for a while, but Lu Lin didn't come back, so he took a shower and went to bed.
I woke up at six in the morning. There were signs that Lu Lin had been in the kitchen. There was porridge cooking in the rice cooker, but Lu Lin was nowhere to be seen.
He called him and found out that Lu Ruchan wasn't feeling well, so Lu Lin rushed over.
Yan Heqing was about to go over when Lu Lin chuckled, "Don't worry, you just missed me. There are still some tableware missing at home. I'll come back this afternoon to pick you up and we can go shopping and have dinner together."
Yan Heqing asked him, "Is this a date?"
He rarely asked so directly, so Lu Lin lowered his voice, "Fine."
The call connected after a few seconds of silence. Lu Lin's deep, magnetic voice echoed the one from the morning's call, "On my way, almost there."
Yan Heqing's lips curled up slightly. "No rush, I'm on my way too."
Where did you go?
"Moving the books." Yan Heqing slowed his speech. "Someone gave me a set of Superhero comic books, and I want to take them home first."
Lu Lin spoke at the same pace, "Who sent it? It's so important."
Just then, Yan Heqing arrived at the apartment building. Seeing his car parked downstairs, he stopped, a smile still on his lips. "Just one important person."
"Drive slowly," he said again. "I'm here, I'll hang up now."
Putting his phone back in his pocket, Yan Heqing continued on his way.
As they entered the apartment building and went upstairs, nearing the third floor, it felt as if time had flowed back to six months ago. Lu Muchi leaning against his door, the ground littered with cigarette butts.
The narrow stairwell was filled with smoke, the thick, pungent smell of which was nauseating.
Lu Muchi slowly exhaled white smoke, a smile playing on his lips, "Come back, huh? That man's not exactly rich, is he? He won't even buy you an apartment?"
Yan Heqing looked at him coldly, "What are you doing here?"
"Catching them in the act." Lu Muchi pinched the filter tip, the cigarette still burning, and threw it on the ground, grinding it heavily with the tip of his shoe.
Lu Muchi suppressed his anger.
He received Yan Heqing's recent schedule, which consisted entirely of school and home. In the past, he would have believed it; Yan Heqing was a good student, so it was perfectly normal for him to spend so much time at school. But after last night, it was all bullshit!
His language was explicit and full of malice, "But it seems your lover isn't so considerate. He slept with you all night, and then just let you walk back like this?"
Yan Heqing was immune to it; he even smiled slightly. "Not everyone is like you, with only those filthy thoughts in their head. And," every word he spoke was incredibly powerful, "No matter how he treats me, I accept it willingly."
Lu Muchi angrily, "You'd better pray that I never find that bastard." His gaze deepened, "Trying to take someone from me? I'm afraid he won't have the luck."
Just then, a sudden ringing of the bell rang.
Lu Muchi's phone rang again.
Lu Muchi was about to hang up when he caught a glimpse of the incoming call, and his Adam's apple bobbed as he hesitated to hang up.
He stared intently at Yan Heqing for a while. He hadn't managed to catch anyone today, and Yan Heqing had stabbed him in the heart several times over. He decided to leave. Passing Yan Heqing on his way downstairs, he gritted his teeth, "If you dare to marry him, I guarantee you'll regret it."
