He said I was soft and nice

Why is the content in Xu Chen's notebook almost the same as Xu Zhou's paper?

Qi Ling had read Xu Zhou's paper many times before. He calmed down and thought about it carefully. The structure, direction, and even the ideas of that paper were exactly the same as those in Xu Chen's notebook!

Qi Ling only felt that the blood in his whole body was flowing backwards, but he was afraid that he was malicious towards Xu Zhou because of what happened just now, so he thought wrongly, so he forced himself to calm down.

He asked Xu Chen that this notebook was written during his college years, five years ago, when Xu Chen was a sophomore.

Xu Zhou's thesis was published in the first semester of his junior year, that is, in the second half of last year.

Did Xu Zhou follow Xu Chen's unfinished idea?Still, Xu Zhou plagiarized Xu Chen's thesis.

Qi Ling couldn't help feeling that the latter possibility was very absurd. How dare Xu Zhou plagiarize his thesis?If the school finds out about this, the school will cancel all Xu Zhou's previous grades, and in serious cases, he will be expelled from the school.

However, he thought of Xu Zhou's hesitant performance when he asked Xu Zhou a random question before, and felt that the latter possibility was the truth.

Xu Zhou didn't know what method he used to plagiarize the research results that should belong to Xu Chen, and published him, making it his own.

Students passing by around looked at Qi Ling's shortness of breath, clenched his hand hanging by his side into a fist, his strong knuckles turned white, and his face was very ugly. He couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "Student, are you Are you okay?"

Qi Ling said it was all right, packed up the leftover cat food and canned food on the lawn, and hurried back to Xu's house.

He wants to figure it out.

After returning, Qi Ling picked up Xu Chen's notebook and compared it carefully with the paper published by Xu Zhou. If he didn't know the inside story, he would subconsciously think that these two things belonged to the same person.

The thesis is completely extended according to the thoughts and ideas in Xu Chen's notebook, filling in the data, drawing conclusions, and all the details can be corresponded.

Qi Ling couldn't stop clenching the hand holding the notebook. Is there another volume for this notebook?Or, Xu Chen recorded his thesis elsewhere, and Xu Zhou saw it?

He walked back and forth in the room anxiously. He had sent a message to Xu Chen before, but the other party didn't reply, obviously he was busy.

He bit his lip, and the tingling pain on his lip made him sober up after comparing papers back and forth. Since he found out about this matter, he would not let it go. In the past, even if Xu Zhou was to be exposed, it would take time, and he also needed evidence, and this notebook alone was not enough.

Being alone in the room will only make him more anxious. When he went downstairs, he happened to meet Uncle Wang watering and pruning the flowers in the rose garden, so Qi Ling stepped forward to help, planning to pick some beautiful flowers and put them in Xu Chen's room .

Let's wait for Xu Chen to come back and ask about the thesis in detail.

He thought that these things would divert his attention, but he couldn't stop thinking about the thesis, and his inattention caused him to be pricked by rose thorns several times.

Seeing his absent-minded appearance, Uncle Wang couldn't help asking, "What happened? Can I help?"

Only then did Qi Ling realize that he seemed to have written all his thoughts on his face. He pursed his lips, feeling really annoyed, and couldn't help confiding to Uncle Wang: "Xu Zhou is really annoying. How much of Xu Chen's property has he taken?"

Whether Xu Zhou only borrowed ideas or plagiarized the whole thing, it is unforgivable.

When Xu Chen was forced to go abroad when he was a sophomore, did Xu Zhou not only occupy his home, but also his research results?

Seeing Qi Ling's resentment, Uncle Wang thought of something, and said in a deep voice, "Second Young Master indeed took a lot of things from Eldest Young Master."

Xu Zhou was not as innocent as he appeared on the surface. He immediately moved into Xu Chen's house after Xu Chen went abroad, and he also wanted to move to Xu Chen's bedroom, because it had the best sunlight and the largest space. See the rose garden, the best room on the second floor.

At that time, it was the wife who loved the young master and specially built it for him.

"I stopped him for a long time, but at the end of last year, Xu Zhou still moved in and packed up all the young master's things."

Qi Ling's eyes widened upon hearing this, "What?!"

Could it be that the paper was leaked at this time?

He only felt a burst of anger welling up, "Xu Zhou should be ashamed!"

Subconsciously, he wanted to throw away the tools in his hand and go to Xu Zhou to settle the score, but Uncle Wang stopped him and took the roses he just picked in his hand, so that Qi Ling would not stab his hand again in a fit of anger.

"That's all in the past. As soon as the young master returned home, he threw out all Xu Zhou's things in his room, and he threw them out in front of him."

"At that time Xu Zhou's face turned pale with anger, but he was stopped by the master and he was not allowed to make trouble."

When Qi Ling heard this, his complexion improved a lot. If he had been there, he might not be able to resist stepping on Xu Zhou's things!

But when he thought of something, he felt a little disobedient, "Xu Zhou must have moved into Xu Chen's room with his father's support, right? Then why did his father stop him?"

He didn't believe that Xu Hanhai was thinking about the father-son relationship with Xu Chen, and he could force his son to live abroad for so many years, so there is no family relationship to speak of.

"I was also surprised at the time." Uncle Wang thought for a while. At that time, Xu Hanhai and Xu Zhou seemed to have some scruples, especially Xu Zhou, who dared not speak out, "The young master seems to have caught them."

"Handle?" Qi Ling murmured, something flashed through his mind quickly, but he didn't catch it.

He and Uncle Wang were busy in the garden for several hours. Qi Ling picked a handful of flowers this time, and after greeting Uncle Wang, he wanted to go upstairs and put the flowers in Xu Chen's room.

But when he came out of the garden, he saw Xu Zhou who was about to enter.

Qi Ling suddenly had an evil thought in his heart, he wanted to slam the flower thorn in his hand onto Xu Zhou's face, and completely destroy this face similar to Xu Chen's.

He suppressed his thoughts, bypassed Xu Zhou and entered the door first.

Xu Zhou didn't notice Qi Ling's thoughts at all, and followed closely behind, looking at the rose in Qi Ling's hand, with a half-smile: "He actually let you into the flower garden? You're quite good at deceiving people."

In the past, only Uncle Wang could enter that place, and it was a forbidden place for everyone else. Not long ago, his mother just went in to pick a few flowers because she saw the beautiful flowers inside. After being discovered by Xu Chen, he directly held the roses in the vase in front of her. He crushed it and threw it into the trash can, and said with cold eyes, "You don't deserve it".

It wasn't flowers that Xu Chen stepped on, but their faces.

But Xu Hanhai wasn't there at the time, so they didn't dare to face Xu Chen head-on. The other party was like a lunatic, and no one would take it easy if he angered him.

Unexpectedly, Qi Ling would be allowed to go in and pick flowers casually now.

Feeling the cold gaze behind him, Qi Ling didn't leave, and turned around, "Xu Chen is not good at coaxing people, he is good at coaxing me, I am so happy to be coaxed by him all day long."

Looking at Xu Zhou's sinking face, he felt extremely happy in his heart, and even raised his lips,

"Do you think I'm going to have a candlelight dinner with him tonight? He promised me that he would come back early today, just think about it and look forward to it."

Seeing the light smile on Qi Ling's face, Xu Zhou felt it was extremely dazzling, "Qi Ling, don't provoke me on purpose."

Qi Ling blinked, "Stimulate you? I'm telling the truth! I was just about to call your brother, but I was blocked by flies."

Xu Zhou clenched his fists hanging by his side, he never knew that the well-behaved and polite Qi Ling would say such hurtful words, "Qi Ling, I know you are angry with me now, I won't take what you say to heart Up."

Xu Chen dotes on Qi Ling, and he is no exception, he will not argue with Qi Ling just because of such a trivial matter.

Xu Zhou kept comforting himself in his heart.

Qi Ling saw that Xu Zhou could bear it, and the smile on his mouth became sweeter. He tilted his head and looked at Xu Zhou curiously, "Actually, I'm curious about something, and I haven't had a chance to ask you."

Xu Zhou was dazzled by Qi Ling's smile, subconsciously relaxed his frowning brows, and even smiled along with him: "Ask."

A gentle look that as long as you ask, I will definitely answer.

But in the next second, his smile froze at the corner of his mouth.

"Xu Zhou, are you an illegitimate child? I heard that you were only recognized by the Xu family five years ago. Is it true?" Qi Ling's tone was innocent, as if he was really curious.

"Qi Ling." Xu Zhou's expression darkened instantly, and he called out to Qi Ling in warning.

As if he didn't see Xu Zhou's threat, Qi Ling put his hand in his pocket, put his fingertips on the phone, moved it, and then continued to say to himself: "It turns out that your brother Xu Chen is the serious child of the Xu family." , no wonder."

"You may not know that I was fascinated by your brother the first time I saw him. He is handsome and has an outstanding temperament. He is completely the darling of heaven. In comparison, you are really inferior."

Qi Ling looked at Xu Zhou with a little distaste, but after a while, he bent his lips again, "But I am still very grateful to you, if you hadn't forced me to go home with you, I might not have had the chance to know Xu Chen. "

He also thanked Xu Zhou very sincerely.

Xu Zhou clenched his fists tightly, stared at Qi Ling, and clenched his teeth. There were obvious marks on his powerful side face. It seemed that he was stabbed to the extreme by Qi Ling's words.

Seeing his gritted teeth, Qi Ling clicked his tongue: "Are you angry now? Actually, I haven't finished asking the question yet!"

He looked at Xu Zhou with a smile: "The paper published in the xx journal is not your own, is it? Is it shameful to steal your brother's things?"

Xu Zhou was furious when he heard this sentence suddenly, and subconsciously said, "How do you know!?"

After replying, I came to my senses and immediately changed my words: "I don't know what you're talking about!"

The smile on Qi Ling's face gradually disappeared, and he looked at Xu Zhou expressionlessly, "Sure enough, you stole Xu Chen's paper."

It was only then that Xu Zhou realized that he had been lied to by Qi Ling. He first used verbal provocations to make him angry and lost his mind, and finally he asked the last question coldly, and he admitted it before he had time to think about it.

From the beginning to the end, Qi Ling came here for the thesis.

Xu Zhou gritted his teeth, his eyes were bloodshot, and said in a hateful voice: "Qi Ling, you have started to use this kind of tricks on me?"

Hearing the hatred in his tone, Qi Ling took out the hand that was in his pocket all the time and touched the rose petals in his bosom, "Maybe you don't know, but I have always been very scheming."

"However, maybe you are stupid?"

Xu Zhou was trembling all over because of these words, and couldn't bear it anymore, he raised his hand and grabbed Qi Ling, wanting to teach him a lesson.

But Qi Ling seemed to have expected it a long time ago. He took a step back and blocked the rose forward. Xu Zhou immediately withdrew his hand in pain.

Qi Ling looked at the wound on Xu Zhou's hand that was obviously stabbed by the thorn, which was still oozing blood, and there were several long red marks on his arm from the leaves and thorns of the rose, and blinked: "I'm sorry, I just justifiable defense."

He said sorry, but there was no apology in his tone, and there was even a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth.

Xu Zhou was out of breath, and glared at Qi Ling viciously, but suddenly thought of something, and he suppressed the anger, "You just want to vent your anger on Xu Chen, don't you?"

He grinned grimly, "But you don't have evidence for the thesis, do you? It's useless to ask Xu Chen, all the original materials are with me."

Xu Zhou watched the smile disappear on Qi Ling's face, and most of the sullenness in his chest dissipated. He was even a little proud, "Do you think Xu Chen doesn't know about this? He already knew, but you can ask him if he dares to go." Expose me?"

"Why do you think he would return to China suddenly? It was my kindness that gave him this chance."

If he hadn't been caught by Xu Chen from abroad for stealing his thesis, Xu Hanhai wouldn't have let him go back, and he wouldn't have been forced to move out of the biggest bedroom.

Xu Zhou thought that Qi Ling would be shocked and desperate when he heard these words, but the other party didn't, and looked at him as if he was looking at garbage.

Facing Xu Zhou's complacent gaze, Qi Ling spoke slowly, with a clear and firm voice, "Even if Xu Chen won't expose you for some reason, I will."

Xu Chen had scruples, but he didn't. Whether it was public or private, he couldn't allow Xu Zhou to plagiarize and cheat other people's research results.

He will personally help Xu Chen take back what belongs to him.

Xu Zhou didn't expect Qi Ling to stand by Xu Chen's side so unconditionally, he became completely annoyed, ignored those sharp thorns, and leaned over to grab Qi Ling, this little rabbit really has sharp teeth, he couldn't believe it Can't cure him!

But as soon as he raised his hand, a strong force came from behind him. He staggered and failed to catch Qi Ling. Instead, the hand that was about to grab someone was severely folded behind his back, and his whole body was kneeled and pressed on the coffee table, his face slumped. The sharp edge of the coffee table hurt so much that he felt that he would be disfigured in the next second.

He struggled: "Let me go!"

But the people behind him clamped him tightly, and his struggle was useless.

Xu Chen looked at the person who ran to his side to hide, with rare sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice, "He bullied you?"

As soon as he entered the door after get off work, he saw the two confronting each other. The atmosphere was tense, and Xu Zhou was about to attack Qi Ling directly. He subdued him without even thinking about it.

Qi Ling looked at Xu Zhou, who was struggling like a dead dog, his eyes flickered, and he was no longer aggressive and sharp-tongued as before. He lowered his eyes, pursed his lips, and said in a low voice, "He seemed to want to hit me just now... "

As if a little scared, he grabbed Xu Chen's clothes, looking weak and pitiful.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "click", accompanied by a scream, and saw Xu Zhou's right hand hanging down weakly in a strange posture. Even if he was let go, he just curled up on the ground holding his hand and kept crying .

Qi Ling blinked, Xu Chen seemed to have twisted and dislocated Xu Zhou's hand.

He looked at Xu Zhou's miserable situation below, and the corners of his lips curved slightly——

Looks like it hurts?

Next, Xu Chen ignored Xu Zhou on the ground and pulled Qi Ling upstairs.

Qi Ling turned his head, saw the servant below hurriedly calling for an ambulance, raised his head and asked him: "Do we not care? Will he blackmail you?"

Xu Chen took him back to his room, looked Qi Ling up and down to make sure that he was fine, and then replied: "It's fine, he won't say anything."

His project is coming to an end, Xu Zhou is now trembling in the company, he can do whatever he is asked to do, obviously because he is afraid that Xu Chen will kick him out at this time, even if he beats him up now, he will not dare to fart put.

Only then did Qi Ling feel relieved, rubbed Xu Chen's palm, bent his lips and said, "That's good."

Xu Chen watched Qi Ling put the roses in his hand into a vase, put his suit jacket aside, loosened his collar, and asked, "Why did you quarrel with him? If there is no one around, you should take priority." Think about your own safety."

He didn't know what exactly Qi Ling said to make Xu Zhou, who had always been forbearing, angry like that. He was afraid that Qi Ling would suffer.

After Qi Ling arranged the flowers, looking at Xu Chen who was frowning again, he couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged the other person's waist, stroked between his brows, "Don't worry, I'm careful, Uncle Wang is outside in the garden Woolen cloth!"

"If I can't beat it, I will definitely call someone!"

And the rose in his hand is not for looking good, he wished that Xu Zhou would do it first, then he would have an excuse to ruin that unsightly face.

This is legitimate defense.

He lowered his eyes to cover the calculation in his eyes, stepped on his foot and kissed Xu Chen's lips, and smiled softly and obediently, "Don't be angry! I will definitely pay attention next time."

Xu Chen hummed lightly, not sure if he believed it or not.

Qi Ling rubbed his arms flatteringly, and explained: "I didn't want to talk to him at first, but Xu Zhou is so annoying that he threatened me with Professor Jiang's last seat!"

"Threatening you for what?"

Qi Ling told the story without hesitation, but concealed the matter of the thesis, "He actually wants to use this to make me leave you, is it possible! Of course it's impossible!"

He hugged Xu Chen's waist tightly, felt the other person's smell and body temperature, and felt that the irritability of the day had eased a lot. He couldn't help but muttered: "I won't leave you!"

Xu Chen paused, stroked the top of his hair, "Well, you did a great job."

He asked again, "Are you very concerned about Professor Jiang's quota?"

Qi Ling pursed her lips, "It's okay, anyway, I have done my best in my project report."

No regrets even if you lose.

Even if he said that, Xu Chen could still hear the faint hope in Qi Ling's words, "Well, I see."

In the next few days, Qi Ling stayed alone in Xu Chen's room, and there were two days before school started, so he asked his tutor for leave on the pretext of being busy with the start of school.

Xu Zhou's plagiarism came first, and he really didn't have the heart to do other things.

He took out his mobile phone, saved the recording in his mobile phone, and transferred it to a USB flash drive.

When he was confronting Xu Zhou yesterday, he was careful and turned on the phone to record, but this evidence is not enough, he needs to find more things to beat Xu Zhou's plagiarism to death.

Qi Ling dragged out a box in the corner. There were scattered things in it that Xu Chen wrote in college. He sat on the blanket on the floor and read a little bit.

Yesterday, he asked Xu Chen if there was a copy of that notebook, and said that he was very interested in the thesis that was only in its rudimentary form. Xu Chen took a deep look at him and gave him the cardboard box, saying that nothing specific about the thesis was missing. That's it, only some ideas and data are scattered in this box.

It took Qi Ling two full days to sort out the contents inside.

These things showed that Xu Chen had indeed made a complete experiment record, but the things inside were too fragmented. It took him two days to piece together the things that could be used, but only the things on three pages were usable.

But thanks to these things, he thoroughly studied Xu Chen's entire thesis, and he dug up all the cited documents. Except for the lack of specific data support, he thought clearly about Xu Chen's entire process.

Xu Chen spent a whole year preparing for these things. From scratch, building such a huge database, analyzing and calculating, was done by him from the beginning to the end, and the painstaking efforts he put into it were beyond his imagination.

But such an excellent paper was simply stolen by Xu Zhou.

He thought of Xu Zhou's ignorant attitude towards his questions, and a sneer flashed in his eyes. Maybe now, he knows more about the things behind this paper than Xu Zhou.

Xu Zhou does not deserve the authorship of this paper.

Qi Ling's eyes fell on the yellowed pages of paper in front of him, looking at the dense calculation process on it, he suddenly felt a little sad.

Xu Chen should have been enthusiastic about his major at that time, right?If he hadn't been forced to go abroad, Xu Chen might have inherited Professor Jiang's mantle and continued to shine in this field.

He rubbed his eyes, and his eyes suddenly fell on the last conclusion on that page, as if he felt something was wrong.

He carefully copied Xu Chen's previous deduction process again, and found that Xu Chen used the wrong data of a sample, and the final sum was also slightly different. He couldn't help but bend his lips. Made such a low-level mistake?

He was about to look away, and when he thought of something, he was shocked. He picked up the data and looked at it again and again. This data was not fully reflected in the paper published by Xu Zhou, but he made a shallow mention, indicating that it was indeed done. researched.

Qi Ling held the piece of paper tightly, almost crushing it with so much strength. After he realized it, he quickly let go of his hand, but the joy in his heart couldn't stop expanding.

Yes, what he wants is such a low-level mistake!

He took a deep breath and saw that his hands were trembling slightly. He lowered his hands and rubbed them hard on his trouser legs, trying to calm himself down. There must be more. As long as he looks carefully, he can find more flaw!

……

The start of school came unexpectedly, and Qi Ling also returned to his rented place ahead of time. Before going out, he sorted out all his things, and after making sure that there was nothing missing, he went directly to the Academic Committee of University A.

The Academic Committee of University A is the highest academic institution in the school, and Xu Zhou's paper was reviewed and submitted to the xx journal through their review.

It may be because the school has just started, there are quite a few teachers in the office, and Professor Jiang is one of them.

He was a little surprised when he saw Qi Ling coming over. He thought of something, and smiled, "Qi Ling? Are you here to submit a paper?"

Professor Jiang thought that Qi Ling had written something during the summer vacation and wanted to show them.

Qi Ling looked at Professor Jiang, shook his head and said, "No Professor."

As soon as he said this, all the teachers in the office looked at him, curious about his appearance.

The students at the door stood very straight, wearing white clothes and black trousers. Against the backdrop of the rising sun, they looked like poplars standing against the wind, handsome and upright.

I saw him meeting everyone's eyes, his brows were calm, and he spoke clearly,

"Hi teachers, I'm Qi Ling from class 019731 of the Department of Economics and Management, and now I'm reporting the plagiarism of Xu Zhou's thesis published in xx journals with my real name."

"Here's my evidence."
