He said I was soft and nice
Chapter 53
The post on the forum was full of uproar, and even Xu Zhou saw it.
He was shopping with Yu Chengcheng in the mall, and seeing that she was chatting with the shopping guide, he didn't have time to pay attention to him for a while, so he found a secluded place and quickly flipped through the posts.
The content is roughly that people in the school suspected that Qi Ling was being taken care of by a rich man and had bad conduct, and finally contacted him about being accepted as a student by Professor Jiang, and felt that he was unworthy.
Xu Zhou looked at the photo on the front page, and he could tell at a glance that the car belonged to Xu Chen.
In the past, he would have paid someone to get rid of this post without hesitation, and he might have directly stood up and said that the car belonged to his family to protect Qi Ling.
But now, he didn't want to do that. On the contrary, he even hoped that the water inside would be a little more mixed.
With Qi Ling's cautious nature, it is impossible for him to expose Xu Chen, but to cover up the relationship between the two of them. Last time at Xu's house, he didn't know what trick Xu Chen used to let Qi Ling take the initiative to report to Xu Chen. He exposed the ambiguity between the two, which also allowed him to confirm Qi Ling's sexuality.
Qi Ling is really gay.
In fact, he had a vague feeling before that Qi Ling was interested in him, but the other party hid it too well, and even resolutely drew a line with him after he had a girlfriend, which caught him off guard.
Now he is directly tearing himself apart, and even reporting himself to the Academic Committee of University A for Xu Chen, so that he dare not go back to school now, and even Chengcheng has opinions on him, he has to change every day Ways to coax people.
Xu Zhou's hand holding the phone was tight, his expression was gloomy, looking at this noisy post, a coldness crossed his lips, even the heavens are giving him a chance, isn't it?
"Xu Zhou, why did you come here?" Yu Chengcheng had just finished trying on clothes, but in a blink of an eye, Xu Zhou who was beside her came out of the store at some time.
Hearing the voice behind him, Xu Zhou quickly put away the coldness on his face, turned around and said, "Just now I felt a little stuffy inside, so I came out to get some air."
He glanced at the new dress on Yu Chengcheng, and smiled gently, "This dress suits you very well, it's pretty."
Yu Chengcheng blushed suddenly, "You know how to coax me recently..."
In fact, when she found out that Xu Zhou's thesis was plagiarized, she also had a lump in her heart. At first she took a fancy to Xu Zhou's talent and handsome appearance, coupled with the fact that the two family backgrounds were similar, so she had a lot of natural affection for Xu Zhou. Good impression.
But the incident of plagiarism shattered her filter on Xu Zhou.
I don't know if it was because she expressed her emotions too clearly, but Xu Zhou immediately admitted her mistake, saying that she was confused at the time, and wanted him to forgive him. Can't say anything else, completely immersed in the tenderness of the other party.
After shopping around the mall, it was getting late. Xu Zhou dutifully sent Yu Chengcheng home. After the other party's figure disappeared completely, the smile on his lips dissipated little by little——
It's so coaxing.
After Xu Zhou got in the car, he turned on his mobile phone and looked at the post on the forum. The smile on his lips was gentler than before, but it was a little strange.
He seemed to know what to do.
In the eighth class of the second day, Qi Ling came to the classroom very early. This class was a big class with several majors in their department. There were many people in the classroom, and the voice was a bit noisy.
But the moment he stepped into the door, everyone's eyes fell on him in unison, and the classroom was strangely quiet for a second, and the discussion became louder the next moment.
"The protagonist of yesterday's forum was Qi Ling, right? Didn't he explain it? Is this a default?"
"The ghost knows what he's thinking, I feel ashamed to go to class with him..."
"Afterwards, the trend in the post became more and more strange, but what the person said was so swearing, is it true?"
Listening to these remarks, Qi Ling's eyes obviously flashed with surprise. He fell asleep after tidying up his things yesterday. In his expectation, even if the post was very popular, it would not have such a big effect, but now he feels completely The eyes of everyone in the classroom fell on him vaguely.
This feeling of being spied on made Qi Ling's scalp tingle, and something in the deepest part of his heart was drawn out little by little under these gazes. He turned pale, and after finding a good place, he opened the thermos and took a sip of milk.
The warm liquid slid from his mouth all the way to his stomach, and the tip of his nose was filled with the sweet aroma of milk, which gradually calmed him down.
Xu Chen prepared this for him in the morning, but he didn't expect it to be able to soothe his nerves.
Chang Yongyi and Xie Kaiyu also came to class at this time. After sitting down beside him, Xie Kaiyu looked at him hesitantly, "Qi Ling, there are new comments in the post."
Qi Ling's eyes were fixed, he opened the forum, and went in to have a look.
The previous ones still said that he was kept in a luxury car, and suspected that there was something wrong with the report handed over to Professor Jiang. Later, the wind direction became more and more strange, saying that the owner of this car must be a man, and the topic continued to lead to his sexuality. .
Qi Ling's hand gripping the phone suddenly tightened, and his strong knuckles turned white.
He looked at the topics in the post that suspected his sexuality, and the veiled eyes that fell on him, and the nausea that hadn't appeared for a long time suddenly surged up.
"I'm going to the bathroom."
After leaving this sentence, he hurriedly left the classroom.
Qi Ling didn't go to the bathroom, but turned around and entered a safe corridor.
The voice-activated light inside turned on in response to the sound, and the slightly dim light illuminated the man squatting in the corner. He hugged his legs tightly, buried his head in his arms, and trembled slightly.
The lights in the corridor gradually went out, and the words [Emergency Access] by the wall glowed faintly, reflecting on the people next to them, but it did not bring any warmth.
Qi Ling scratched his hair in a bit of a breakdown. Even though there was no one in this place, he could still feel those gazes sticking firmly to his back like a gangrene.
There is curiosity, ridicule, contempt, sarcasm, and even disgust.
These gazes completely coincided with the eyes that watched him all the time in the back of his mind.
He still hasn't come out, he's still scared...
Qi Ling only felt that his body was getting colder and colder, he was so stiff that he couldn't move at all, and his consciousness was a little fuzzy.
He bit his lips tightly, and there was a tingling pain on his lips, which made him sober up a lot.
Xu Chen bit his lower lip yesterday, and it hurts a little now.
Thinking of Xu Chen, the chill in Qi Ling's heart suddenly eased.
He knew that he could not always be trapped in the shadow of the past, and he began to comfort himself. Most of the students in the classroom were just curious, and the malice was not that great. It was because he was too sensitive and amplified his emotions.
It can't go on like this.
He's out of that place and no one can hurt him anymore.
Qi Ling took a deep breath, his nails dug deep into the palm of his hand, and the sharp pain made him regain the initiative in his body. With trembling hands, he took out the phone from his pocket.
As soon as Xu Chen went out, he received a call from Qi Ling. He thought that the other party had forgotten something, "What's the matter? I'm still at the door of the house. I'll send you what I need?"
He is not in a hurry to go to work, but Qi Ling should be in class soon.
But when he asked, Qi Ling didn't respond for a long time, and there was only the sound of the other party's slightly heavy breathing on the phone.
"Qi Ling?" Xu Chen immediately sensed something was wrong, "Where are you now?"
If Qi Ling was in the classroom, it would be impossible for the surroundings to be so quiet.
"No." Qi Ling tried his best to make his voice look normal, "I've been out for a while."
"Xu Chen, talk to me..."
He found that the moment he heard Xu Chen's voice, the panic subsided like a tide, and the strong sense of surveillance behind him also eased a lot, as if someone was standing behind him, blocking those complicated eyes for him.
Xu Chen's heart ached when he heard Qi Ling's whispered words. Something must have happened to Qi Ling.
But his tone was still steady, "I just wanted to discuss with you what to have for dinner."
"Do you want to drink fish soup? The fish in the nearby supermarket is quite fresh. I will make it for you when I come back from get off work?"
As he spoke, he sent a message to Secretary Sun, [The morning meeting will be postponed for one hour, I will arrive later today. 】
Qi Ling squatted in the corner, raised his head subconsciously and thought seriously, "But didn't you also cook fish last night? But it was steamed. Are you going to make soup this time?"
"Well, crucian carp soup, I think you should like it, and I will pick out the thorns for you then."
"Let's make scrambled eggs with tomatoes. I found that you like to use it for bibimbap. Every time you have this dish, you will eat more."
Xu Chen's tone was very gentle, he was always full of patience with him, tolerated his petty temper, and liked to hold him in his arms, giving him a full sense of security.
Qi Ling's emotions were driven by Xu Chen, and he unconsciously raised his lips, "Then I want the eggs to be broken and the tomato juice to be more."
Xu Chen: "Okay, listen to you."
"Two dishes don't seem to be enough. Let's add another dish, let's make cold cucumber? It's been very hot these days. I know how to cook this dish. I'll make it for you."
Qi Ling's speech stopped shaking now, and his tone was a little light.
But as soon as he finished speaking, a low laugh came from the opposite side, "Well, my boyfriend is really good."
When Qi Ling heard the word "boyfriend", his face turned red. He covered his eyes with one hand, a little ashamed, but the curve of his lips couldn't be suppressed, "This dish is relatively simple. But it is also a dish, I suspect you are making fun of me..."
"I really think you are amazing, I don't even know how to do this." Xu Chen's tone was very serious, "I'm looking forward to this dish you cooked for me."
Qi Ling was amused by him, and his whole body relaxed. He let out a foul breath, stood up and patted the ashes on his legs, "Okay, it's settled, I won't talk to you! I'm going to class .”
It was time for him to go about his business.
After hanging up the phone, he pushed open the door of the stairwell, straightened his waist, and walked slowly towards the classroom.
A familiar figure stood at the door of the classroom. Seeing him, he smiled and said, "Hey, isn't this Professor Jiang's new student Qi Ling? Why, you hid in the toilet and cried?"
Ma Ziping's tone was as ambiguous as ever, "If you are really guilty, then you should go to the professor and make it clear to the professor. The popularity of the forum will naturally decrease, and you don't need to be judged."
If these words were put just now, Qi Ling might really be influenced by him, but now, he just glanced at Ma Ziping lightly, and a very shallow smile rose from the corner of his mouth, "Ma Ziping, what are you afraid of? "
Ma Ziping seemed to be poked in the center of his mind, and instantly became angry from embarrassment, "Qi Ling, are you scared to death now? The forum is so noisy, you are not worried at all? I also kindly remind you."
He sneered: "Oh, what am I afraid of?"
Qi Ling nodded, "Well, you're not afraid, I'm just worried about the poster of this post."
"There have been thousands of messages replied above, right? I can sue him for infringing on my right of reputation. The school administrator can get the landlord's information, and I will be sure when I sue. The school hates this kind of framing others out of thin air. student, he will not be punished lightly."
Qi Ling clicked his tongue, and looked at Ma Ziping with sympathy, "At that time, he will be listed on the school's official website, and he will probably be more famous than me."
Hearing this, Ma Ziping couldn't help but panic.
He actually didn't intend to confront Qi Ling head-on, but the trend of that post was too weird, he was not stupid, he could clearly see that someone was using his post to target Qi Ling, and if something went wrong, he would end up taking the blame It's all about him.
But Qi Ling's appearance of staying out of the matter suddenly aroused his competitive spirit, and the feeling of being overwhelmed in the past came back, he didn't even think about it, and directly admitted, "So what if I posted the post! I fabricated that picture? Qi Ling, aren’t you guilty? Let me tell you, I’ve seen it all.”
"Not only that, but I also took pictures."
If he hadn't left late at that time, maybe he still missed that scene.
The more Ma Ziping said, the more confident he became, "I only posted this photo because we are in the same school. I advise you to surrender yourself to the professor as soon as possible."
Qi Ling's eyes darkened suddenly, and Ma Ziping really followed him.
But his face remained unchanged, and he glanced at Ma Ziping, "Send all the photos if you have the ability."
Ma Ziping was choked, and hearing Qi Ling's reassuring tone, he glared at him angrily, but couldn't say a word of rebuttal.
The corners of Qi Ling's lips twitched, "Oh? You recognize his identity, don't you dare to provoke him?"
He has often seen related reports about Xu Chen on the financial news recently. The background is clear. Ma Ziping's family is also in City A. Maybe he will have some business ties with Xu Chen. Of course he dare not touch the local people. giant.
Ma Ziping couldn't hide his anger, "Qi Ling, what are you talking about? I don't dare to offend the Xu family, but how do you have the face? I checked, Xu Chen was a student of Professor Jiang before, maybe he did it for you. You have begged for mercy, the most outrageous thing is your project report, I don't believe that it is something you can write, the Xu family has a big business, and I don't know where to get the gunman."
"You're doubting Professor Jiang's character." Qi Ling's eyes turned cold, and he didn't have time to speak, "Whether I have any problems or not, Professor Jiang has been upright all his life. You shouldn't slander him like this."
Ma Ziping got stuck in an instant, and he dragged Professor Jiang into the water only for a moment of indiscretion.
"I admit that I was wrong, but I absolutely don't believe that you wrote that research report!"
He read that report, and compared with Qi Ling, his own was rubbish. He didn't believe that Qi Ling's level was so much higher than his!
Seeing Ma Ziping's unwillingness, Qi Ling put his arms around his shoulders and asked him, "Then do you want to bet with me?"
"If I can prove that I wrote this project report, you apologize to me in public and say that post is fabricated."
Ma Ziping gritted his teeth and looked at him, "What if you can't prove it?"
Qi Ling: "I took the initiative to tell Professor Jiang that I would withdraw from this competition."
Ma Ziping clenched his hands hanging by his sides, he knew that the game was actually fair.
His post was not fabricated at all, the photos were real shots, it's just that the netizens over-fermented it.
But he also has no evidence to prove that Qi Ling's project report is fake, it's just that it's popular on the Internet, and if it becomes popular, it's still nothing.
However, what if Qi Ling couldn't fully prove the authenticity of this report?Then Qi Ling will take the initiative to give up the quota he got.
The temptation was too great for me.
The balance in Ma Ziping's heart instantly tilted, "Okay, I'll bet with you."
After all, he just didn't believe that Qi Ling could be so much better than him.
The two walked into the classroom. Less than 10 minutes before the start of class, the teacher had already arrived and turned on the multimedia. Qi Ling stepped forward and said politely: "Teacher, can I borrow the projector to say something? It won't affect Attend class."
Seeing that it was Qi Ling, the teacher gave up his seat without even thinking about it, "No problem."
Qi Ling is an acquaintance of all the teachers. Not only does he have good grades, but he is also polite. A few days ago, he was accepted as a student by Professor Jiang. Of course, he has no reason not to be satisfied with such a trivial matter.
Ma Ziping looked at Qi Ling on the podium, snorted coldly, and raised his voice to the people below: "I think everyone saw the post on the forum last night, and now Qi Ling wants to prove his innocence, and there are only so many of us." Be a witness to him!"
He stood aside, watched Qi Ling plug in a USB flash drive, and taunted: "Qi Ling, with so many eyes watching, everyone will know at a glance whether your proof is strong, so don't try to fool anyone."
Qi Ling glanced at him, curled his lips lightly, and didn't return.
Seeing his calm look, Ma Ziping felt a little flustered for some reason. He tried his best to calm himself down, watched Qi Ling open a PPT in the USB flash drive, and pressed play.
The PPT is very simple. It contains a series of microblogs, each of which records the time point, throughout the entire summer vacation.
Every time Qi Ling turns a page, he will talk about his thinking at that time and the mistakes he made.
From conception, information search, document translation, writing, revision, to perfection, the voice is clean and eloquent.
This is actually a very enjoyable process.
Qi Ling clearly presented his entire writing process, step by step, in front of everyone.
At the end of the PPT is a photo, which is his messy notes. At a glance, it covers the entire screen, nearly a hundred pages.
"You must have seen my Weibo account just now. You can search it. All the key time nodes in my report are in it, and you can see my entire design idea."
After he finished speaking, there was no sound in the room. In the end, the teacher was the first to react, took the lead, and applauded.
For a while, there was thunderous applause.
The voices of questioning that had previously been faintly disappeared. After listening to Qi Ling's narration, it was as if they had written the whole report together with him. The ingenuity and painstaking efforts in it were admirable.
The teacher looked at Qi Ling on the stage, and was deeply touched, "I don't know what your post is about, but I read your PPT, and I was actually quite moved. Before Professor Jiang showed us your report, I It’s just that I’m amazed, and now that I’ve listened to it, I’ve deeply realized how much effort you’ve put in.”
More importantly, he could see Qi Ling's attitude, serious and full of love.
In the middle, Qi Ling obviously had a hard time studying together. There were several Weibo discussions around that point. As a teacher, he could feel that the knowledge in it was obscure, not to mention that Qi Ling was only an undergraduate. student.
But the other party didn't give up at all and persevered, only then did they have the splendor presented in front of them now, and they were also favored by Professor Jiang.
God rewards hard work.
Qi Ling pulled out the USB flash drive and thanked the teacher, "Thank you teacher for your approval."
He stepped off the stage and quietly looked at Ma Ziping who had been silent since he finished the ppt.
Ma Ziping didn't know what he meant, he raised his head blankly, his lips smacked twice, but he didn't know what to say.
In fact, among this batch of candidates, he was actually the one who posted the most recent research directions for Professor Jiang, but he didn't have the courage to choose this topic at all. He knew he couldn't handle it, and more importantly, he didn't want to push himself so hard tight.
But in the PPT just now, he saw that Qi Ling recorded many times at one or two o'clock in the morning, and this alone was enough to make him speechless.
His project report only took him half of the summer vacation, and he spent the rest of the time playing games, while Qi Ling spent the entire summer vacation writing the report.
He is not only talented, but also hardworking.
No wonder it can't compare to...
He closed his eyes, turned to face the students in the audience, and said in a hoarse voice: "I posted the post yesterday. I was jealous that Qi Ling got the last student of Professor Jiang, so I spread a lot of false remarks in it." , wanting to use this despicable method to force him to withdraw."
"I will apply to delete that post later, and I will voluntarily surrender to the school teacher."
After Ma Ziping finished speaking, he glanced at Qi Ling, his eyes showed resentment, frustration, but more of admiration. He bowed to Qi Ling and apologized solemnly, "I'm sorry."
Qi Ling hummed lightly, and he accepted Ma Ziping's apology.
The class bell rang, and the teacher went to class as usual.
As soon as Qi Ling returned to his seat, Chang Yongyi couldn't help but bumped him with his elbow, winked and said, "Little Ling, you are too good!!!"
"In this way, I will see who dares to question you!"
He, a scumbag in the audience, was stunned when he heard it. Even if he didn't understand most of it, he could feel the confidence and confidence of the people on the stage.
This is not the temperament that a person with a problematic work can show.
Qi Ling was confident in his report, and even more confident in himself.
"I recorded everything that happened just now, and I'll make up a shocking copy for you later, so that those idiots on the forum can take a good look at it!" Chang Yongyi buried his head and started typing after he finished speaking.
Xie Kaiyu also raised his phone and raised his eyebrows at Qi Ling, "Yes! I opened a Weibo secretly, and the number of fans is almost 20. Follow the boss decisively!"
After finishing speaking, he did not forget to remind Chang Yongyi, "I will add Qi Ling's Weibo later, it's a good opportunity for marketing."
There was also a smile between Qi Ling's brows and eyes. Seeing their excitement, he said helplessly: "Okay, stop making fun of me, and study hard."
Normal class order was restored in the classroom, and no one noticed a figure leaning on the outside of the classroom, as if standing for a long time.
After a while, he smiled lightly and walked away.
His boyfriend is really amazing.
He was shopping with Yu Chengcheng in the mall, and seeing that she was chatting with the shopping guide, he didn't have time to pay attention to him for a while, so he found a secluded place and quickly flipped through the posts.
The content is roughly that people in the school suspected that Qi Ling was being taken care of by a rich man and had bad conduct, and finally contacted him about being accepted as a student by Professor Jiang, and felt that he was unworthy.
Xu Zhou looked at the photo on the front page, and he could tell at a glance that the car belonged to Xu Chen.
In the past, he would have paid someone to get rid of this post without hesitation, and he might have directly stood up and said that the car belonged to his family to protect Qi Ling.

When Qi Ling heard the word "boyfriend", his face turned red. He covered his eyes with one hand, a little ashamed, but the curve of his lips couldn't be suppressed, "This dish is relatively simple. But it is also a dish, I suspect you are making fun of me..."
"I really think you are amazing, I don't even know how to do this." Xu Chen's tone was very serious, "I'm looking forward to this dish you cooked for me."
Qi Ling was amused by him, and his whole body relaxed. He let out a foul breath, stood up and patted the ashes on his legs, "Okay, it's settled, I won't talk to you! I'm going to class .”
It was time for him to go about his business.
After hanging up the phone, he pushed open the door of the stairwell, straightened his waist, and walked slowly towards the classroom.
A familiar figure stood at the door of the classroom. Seeing him, he smiled and said, "Hey, isn't this Professor Jiang's new student Qi Ling? Why, you hid in the toilet and cried?"
Ma Ziping's tone was as ambiguous as ever, "If you are really guilty, then you should go to the professor and make it clear to the professor. The popularity of the forum will naturally decrease, and you don't need to be judged."
If these words were put just now, Qi Ling might really be influenced by him, but now, he just glanced at Ma Ziping lightly, and a very shallow smile rose from the corner of his mouth, "Ma Ziping, what are you afraid of? "
Ma Ziping seemed to be poked in the center of his mind, and instantly became angry from embarrassment, "Qi Ling, are you scared to death now? The forum is so noisy, you are not worried at all? I also kindly remind you."
He sneered: "Oh, what am I afraid of?"
Qi Ling nodded, "Well, you're not afraid, I'm just worried about the poster of this post."
"There have been thousands of messages replied above, right? I can sue him for infringing on my right of reputation. The school administrator can get the landlord's information, and I will be sure when I sue. The school hates this kind of framing others out of thin air. student, he will not be punished lightly."
Qi Ling clicked his tongue, and looked at Ma Ziping with sympathy, "At that time, he will be listed on the school's official website, and he will probably be more famous than me."
Hearing this, Ma Ziping couldn't help but panic.
He actually didn't intend to confront Qi Ling head-on, but the trend of that post was too weird, he was not stupid, he could clearly see that someone was using his post to target Qi Ling, and if something went wrong, he would end up taking the blame It's all about him.
But Qi Ling's appearance of staying out of the matter suddenly aroused his competitive spirit, and the feeling of being overwhelmed in the past came back, he didn't even think about it, and directly admitted, "So what if I posted the post! I fabricated that picture? Qi Ling, aren’t you guilty? Let me tell you, I’ve seen it all.”
"Not only that, but I also took pictures."
If he hadn't left late at that time, maybe he still missed that scene.
The more Ma Ziping said, the more confident he became, "I only posted this photo because we are in the same school. I advise you to surrender yourself to the professor as soon as possible."
Qi Ling's eyes darkened suddenly, and Ma Ziping really followed him.
But his face remained unchanged, and he glanced at Ma Ziping, "Send all the photos if you have the ability."
Ma Ziping was choked, and hearing Qi Ling's reassuring tone, he glared at him angrily, but couldn't say a word of rebuttal.
The corners of Qi Ling's lips twitched, "Oh? You recognize his identity, don't you dare to provoke him?"
He has often seen related reports about Xu Chen on the financial news recently. The background is clear. Ma Ziping's family is also in City A. Maybe he will have some business ties with Xu Chen. Of course he dare not touch the local people. giant.
Ma Ziping couldn't hide his anger, "Qi Ling, what are you talking about? I don't dare to offend the Xu family, but how do you have the face? I checked, Xu Chen was a student of Professor Jiang before, maybe he did it for you. You have begged for mercy, the most outrageous thing is your project report, I don't believe that it is something you can write, the Xu family has a big business, and I don't know where to get the gunman."
"You're doubting Professor Jiang's character." Qi Ling's eyes turned cold, and he didn't have time to speak, "Whether I have any problems or not, Professor Jiang has been upright all his life. You shouldn't slander him like this."
Ma Ziping got stuck in an instant, and he dragged Professor Jiang into the water only for a moment of indiscretion.
"I admit that I was wrong, but I absolutely don't believe that you wrote that research report!"
He read that report, and compared with Qi Ling, his own was rubbish. He didn't believe that Qi Ling's level was so much higher than his!
Seeing Ma Ziping's unwillingness, Qi Ling put his arms around his shoulders and asked him, "Then do you want to bet with me?"
"If I can prove that I wrote this project report, you apologize to me in public and say that post is fabricated."
Ma Ziping gritted his teeth and looked at him, "What if you can't prove it?"
Qi Ling: "I took the initiative to tell Professor Jiang that I would withdraw from this competition."
Ma Ziping clenched his hands hanging by his sides, he knew that the game was actually fair.
His post was not fabricated at all, the photos were real shots, it's just that the netizens over-fermented it.
But he also has no evidence to prove that Qi Ling's project report is fake, it's just that it's popular on the Internet, and if it becomes popular, it's still nothing.
However, what if Qi Ling couldn't fully prove the authenticity of this report?Then Qi Ling will take the initiative to give up the quota he got.
The temptation was too great for me.
The balance in Ma Ziping's heart instantly tilted, "Okay, I'll bet with you."
After all, he just didn't believe that Qi Ling could be so much better than him.
The two walked into the classroom. Less than 10 minutes before the start of class, the teacher had already arrived and turned on the multimedia. Qi Ling stepped forward and said politely: "Teacher, can I borrow the projector to say something? It won't affect Attend class."
Seeing that it was Qi Ling, the teacher gave up his seat without even thinking about it, "No problem."
Qi Ling is an acquaintance of all the teachers. Not only does he have good grades, but he is also polite. A few days ago, he was accepted as a student by Professor Jiang. Of course, he has no reason not to be satisfied with such a trivial matter.
Ma Ziping looked at Qi Ling on the podium, snorted coldly, and raised his voice to the people below: "I think everyone saw the post on the forum last night, and now Qi Ling wants to prove his innocence, and there are only so many of us." Be a witness to him!"
He stood aside, watched Qi Ling plug in a USB flash drive, and taunted: "Qi Ling, with so many eyes watching, everyone will know at a glance whether your proof is strong, so don't try to fool anyone."
Qi Ling glanced at him, curled his lips lightly, and didn't return.
Seeing his calm look, Ma Ziping felt a little flustered for some reason. He tried his best to calm himself down, watched Qi Ling open a PPT in the USB flash drive, and pressed play.
The PPT is very simple. It contains a series of microblogs, each of which records the time point, throughout the entire summer vacation.
Every time Qi Ling turns a page, he will talk about his thinking at that time and the mistakes he made.
From conception, information search, document translation, writing, revision, to perfection, the voice is clean and eloquent.
This is actually a very enjoyable process.
Qi Ling clearly presented his entire writing process, step by step, in front of everyone.
At the end of the PPT is a photo, which is his messy notes. At a glance, it covers the entire screen, nearly a hundred pages.
"You must have seen my Weibo account just now. You can search it. All the key time nodes in my report are in it, and you can see my entire design idea."
After he finished speaking, there was no sound in the room. In the end, the teacher was the first to react, took the lead, and applauded.
For a while, there was thunderous applause.
The voices of questioning that had previously been faintly disappeared. After listening to Qi Ling's narration, it was as if they had written the whole report together with him. The ingenuity and painstaking efforts in it were admirable.
The teacher looked at Qi Ling on the stage, and was deeply touched, "I don't know what your post is about, but I read your PPT, and I was actually quite moved. Before Professor Jiang showed us your report, I It’s just that I’m amazed, and now that I’ve listened to it, I’ve deeply realized how much effort you’ve put in.”
More importantly, he could see Qi Ling's attitude, serious and full of love.
In the middle, Qi Ling obviously had a hard time studying together. There were several Weibo discussions around that point. As a teacher, he could feel that the knowledge in it was obscure, not to mention that Qi Ling was only an undergraduate. student.
But the other party didn't give up at all and persevered, only then did they have the splendor presented in front of them now, and they were also favored by Professor Jiang.
God rewards hard work.
Qi Ling pulled out the USB flash drive and thanked the teacher, "Thank you teacher for your approval."
He stepped off the stage and quietly looked at Ma Ziping who had been silent since he finished the ppt.
Ma Ziping didn't know what he meant, he raised his head blankly, his lips smacked twice, but he didn't know what to say.
In fact, among this batch of candidates, he was actually the one who posted the most recent research directions for Professor Jiang, but he didn't have the courage to choose this topic at all. He knew he couldn't handle it, and more importantly, he didn't want to push himself so hard tight.
But in the PPT just now, he saw that Qi Ling recorded many times at one or two o'clock in the morning, and this alone was enough to make him speechless.
His project report only took him half of the summer vacation, and he spent the rest of the time playing games, while Qi Ling spent the entire summer vacation writing the report.
He is not only talented, but also hardworking.
No wonder it can't compare to...
He closed his eyes, turned to face the students in the audience, and said in a hoarse voice: "I posted the post yesterday. I was jealous that Qi Ling got the last student of Professor Jiang, so I spread a lot of false remarks in it." , wanting to use this despicable method to force him to withdraw."
"I will apply to delete that post later, and I will voluntarily surrender to the school teacher."
After Ma Ziping finished speaking, he glanced at Qi Ling, his eyes showed resentment, frustration, but more of admiration. He bowed to Qi Ling and apologized solemnly, "I'm sorry."
Qi Ling hummed lightly, and he accepted Ma Ziping's apology.
The class bell rang, and the teacher went to class as usual.
As soon as Qi Ling returned to his seat, Chang Yongyi couldn't help but bumped him with his elbow, winked and said, "Little Ling, you are too good!!!"
"In this way, I will see who dares to question you!"
He, a scumbag in the audience, was stunned when he heard it. Even if he didn't understand most of it, he could feel the confidence and confidence of the people on the stage.
This is not the temperament that a person with a problematic work can show.
Qi Ling was confident in his report, and even more confident in himself.
"I recorded everything that happened just now, and I'll make up a shocking copy for you later, so that those idiots on the forum can take a good look at it!" Chang Yongyi buried his head and started typing after he finished speaking.
Xie Kaiyu also raised his phone and raised his eyebrows at Qi Ling, "Yes! I opened a Weibo secretly, and the number of fans is almost 20. Follow the boss decisively!"
After finishing speaking, he did not forget to remind Chang Yongyi, "I will add Qi Ling's Weibo later, it's a good opportunity for marketing."
There was also a smile between Qi Ling's brows and eyes. Seeing their excitement, he said helplessly: "Okay, stop making fun of me, and study hard."
Normal class order was restored in the classroom, and no one noticed a figure leaning on the outside of the classroom, as if standing for a long time.
After a while, he smiled lightly and walked away.
His boyfriend is really amazing.
