Chapter 168

Shi Cheng thought he had misheard; he thought he heard the anchor say something about the dormitory.

He rubbed his ears and asked again, his voice trembling, "What did you say, anchor?"

Qin Su patiently repeated, "I said that it's really fate that you two can live in the same dormitory."

"One...one dorm room?" Shi Cheng stammered, unwilling to delve deeper into Qin Su's words. "What do you mean by 'one dorm room'? I...I live in an all-male dorm room, four people are all guys, and I...I'm a guy too..."

As if to prove his point, he hurriedly stood up, held up his phone, and spun around, saying, "Our dorm only has four beds, and each one is occupied by a guy who is over 180cm tall. There are absolutely no girls."

Qin Su glanced at his phone's camera in the direction it was rotating and said, "Wait a minute, stop."

Shi Cheng stopped instinctively.

Qin Su raised her chin: "Turn around and look at the upper bunk behind you."

Shi Cheng turned around stiffly.

Qin Su asked, "Are you familiar with this person?"

Shi Cheng's head was buzzing, knowing he was probably only one step away from some horrifying truth: "...It's...it's alright, we all get along well in the dorm, he...he..."

"It's him." Qin Su confirmed his guess. "He understands you very well, he's your soulmate and the object of your ambiguous relationship."

Shi Cheng: "..."

Viewers in the live stream: ...

What?! Did I hear that right?!

Wait, my mind's a bit muddled. So, the person this guy was flirting with online was his roommate?

Will all brothers in the world eventually become husband and wife?

[Okay, let me break it down for you. This guy playing online games said he met a female friend online, and they got along really well. They'd been flirting for a long time, but she never agreed to date him. However, he kept in touch and sent her gifts. Now, the streamer has figured out that this female friend's real identity is his roommate. It seems the female friend is his roommate using an alias to scam him. Over.]

[Holy crap, is this for real? The streamer didn't make a mistake, did they?]

[It might not be a scam; maybe it's true love, lol emoji]

If it were true love, they would have agreed to be together already.

【No way, you guys just believed that? What evidence do you have to prove the streamer is telling the truth? This is outrageous!】

Shi Cheng was stunned for a long time before the barrage of comments brought him back to his senses.

His mind raced through his various conversations with the "female online friend," and he recalled the words and actions of his roommate on the upper bunk behind him. Sweat beaded on his forehead.

He already had the answer in his heart, but he still asked, unwilling to give up, "Could it be a miscalculation? How can we be sure it was him?"

Qin Su glanced at his brow and said, "That's easy, but I need to tell you in advance that if I help you confirm the other party's identity, you'll have to pay extra."

"Is it expensive?" This was a question that Shi Cheng cared about a lot. Although he was financially well-off, he was only spending money on students.

Qin Su held up one finger.

Shi Cheng blurted out, "Ten thousand?"

He figured he could come up with 10,000 yuan; it was within his budget.

Qin Su glanced at him and shook her fingertip: "No, one thousand."

According to Shi Cheng's fortune, even if she doesn't intervene, Shi Cheng won't lose too much money on this person in the future.

Qin Su calculated the divination fee fairly based on the potential losses the other party might suffer.

Shi Cheng was surprised by the price and immediately nodded, "No problem."

Thinking of the magical arts performed by masters in movies and novels, Shi Cheng felt both apprehensive and expectant: "So what do I need to do now?"

Qin Su said, "Change your shoes and take your phone with you when you go out."

Shi Cheng was bewildered: "Huh?"

Qin Su estimated: "It will take about ten minutes to walk. Just follow my directions."

This was different from what Shi Cheng had imagined. He was in a daze for a moment, but still decided to listen to the anchor and change his shoes before going out.

As Qin Su pointed him in the right direction, she reached for the cup, wanting to take a sip of water, only to find it was empty.

She frowned, pushed the cup behind the computer where the camera couldn't capture it, and tapped the table with her finger. The button on the water dispenser in the distance was automatically pressed without anyone touching it, and water shot up into the air, forming a jet that landed precisely in the cup.

Qin Su took a satisfied sip of warm water, thinking that this world wasn't bad either. She could unleash her power a little more freely, without the restrictions on her actions that plagued purely technological worlds.

After Qin Su finished drinking the water, Shi Cheng arrived at the place Qin Su had asked him to go.

He looked up at the golden lettering hanging on the tall building—Library.

"..."

I never imagined my destination would be such a sacred place.

Does this mean someone is in the library?

[Seeing the library, I was shocked to realize it was my alma mater; the victim turned out to be a junior from R University!]

Qin Su: "Study room number 3 on the fourth floor, southeast direction."

Shi Cheng took a deep breath, put on his headphones, silenced his phone, and silently walked to the door of study room number 3, as Qin Su had instructed.

He didn't rush in; he peeked inside first.

My roommate's familiar figure was sitting there.

Shi Chengxin felt disheartened.

Qin Su said, "Now send a message to your female online friend, and then check his phone screen."

Shi Cheng nodded heavily.

He slowly walked inside, his eyes fixed on his roommate, his hand quickly tapping the pinned contact on the chat page and sending a message: Are you there? I have a gift I want to give you.

At the same time the message was successfully sent, he saw his roommate's phone screen light up two steps away.

Shi Cheng took another step forward, holding up his phone. Along with all the viewers in the live stream, they saw his roommate open his phone and expertly reply to the message he had just sent: "How could I accept this? What gift is it? ~ *cute emoji*"

【！！！】

Holy crap, it really is!!

[The streamer is amazing! He even found this!]

[I want to hear confirmation from the person involved, Brave Stone, is this your roommate?]

[No way? My online girlfriend turned out to be my roommate? What a tragedy!]

[How disgusting! Isn't this just treating people like idiots? If this happened to me, I would definitely want to kill someone.]

[Thinking back to this handsome guy saying that the other person understood him perfectly, I can't help but sigh, that's what it means for men to understand men best.]

【Or you could just give in to him, hahaha, true love knows no gender.】

[Does anyone remember this guy who said he gave the other person a lot of gifts? If the amount was significant, wouldn't that be considered fraud?]

Shi Cheng didn't bother to read the comments. He gripped his phone tightly, using all his strength to control himself from going up and beating the other person. He gritted his teeth and left the study room.

After leaving the library, he didn't say much. He went straight to the recharge page, recharged two thousand yuan in one go, and started sending gifts to Qin Su in a flurry.

The revenue sharing mechanism of the live streaming platform is 70/30. Even after deducting taxes, the amount Shi Cheng paid was more than agreed upon.

But he didn't care about any of that right now; anger was raging so much that his hands were trembling.

After giving out all the gifts, Shi Cheng forced a smile at Qin Su and said, "Thank you, streamer, for keeping me from continuing to be a fool. Now that I've finished giving out the gifts, I'll go take care of my personal matters."

Qin Su didn't ask him how to handle it, and simply nodded.

Shi Cheng ended the online game without hesitation.

[Huh? It's over already? We haven't even said how we're going to handle this guy.]

【Don't go, Stone! Are you planning to settle this privately, or do you want to tell us something?】

[What a dramatic and convoluted plot, what a complicated and chaotic dormitory relationship...]

[The guy looked scared when he hung up the game. I hope nothing serious happened.]

[Waiting for someone to say, "We're together now."]

[Can the streamer predict what will happen next? I'm dying of curiosity!]

I'm completely baffled. Is this acting or real? Is it scripted?

[Same question. I came here to see the beautiful anchorwoman, but ended up being bombarded with juicy gossip.]

The number of comments asking whether it was scripted or based on real events surged, showing that many people still had doubts about today's live stream content.

Qin Su thought for a moment and said, "As for what happens next, we can keep an eye on the local news media."

In her opinion, Shi Cheng was not the type to swallow his anger; things would most likely escalate.

Such news, with its touch of the bizarre, has always been a favorite subject of some media outlets.

The viewers in the live chat were even more confused and surprised, and kept asking questions.

Qin Su ignored her and waved her hand dismissively: "Alright, that's the end of today's live stream. See you in three days."
