After returning to the dorm, Xia Tian thought more and more that something was amiss. Qiu Mengyun had just started making moves, and there hadn't even been an official announcement yet, so how had Vice Dean Wang already known about it? He'd clearly kept it a secret, so where had he gotten the information?
It was understandable that his three roommates could guess who he was. After all, the four of them lived under the same roof every day, and they were all too familiar with him. It wasn't difficult to guess his identity from those photos. What's more, he hadn't deliberately concealed anything and had already told them about his relationship with Qiu Mengyun. But Vice Dean Wang was different. He wasn't even familiar with him, and they had only met a few times before. Before today, he didn't even know him, and he might not have known he existed in the school. If he said he recognized him based on those photos online that didn't show his face, Xia Tian would never believe it.
I wondered where the news leaked. Did Vice Dean Wang have a friend who knew Qiu Mengyun and got the information from her? Or was it me who leaked it? But I had only told a few close friends in the dorm, and they had all promised to keep it a secret. They wouldn't betray me so quickly, right? Besides, even if they wanted to, with their status, they wouldn't be able to talk to Vice Dean Wang. They couldn't be so bored as to go to Vice Dean Wang and gossip with him, right?
Just when Xia Tian was puzzled, the other three brothers in the dormitory returned together.
Seeing Xia Tian sitting there without saying a word, looking very sad, Chen Shaojie asked curiously, "Brother Tian, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so depressed?"
Xia Tian sighed, "Oh! I'm so unlucky today. I don't know how it happened, but the news that I'm Qiu Mengyun's boyfriend got out."
"Ah, ah? It can't be, how could what happened this morning leak out so quickly? Brother Tian, did someone ask you? Could it be a mistake? Or, it's not impossible that someone else recognized you through the photos on the Internet!" Hearing Xia Tian say that the news leaked out, Chen Shaojie responded with some guilt.
The other two also lowered their heads guiltily, took out their cell phones from their pockets and looked like they were concentrating on playing with them. They didn't dare to look up at Xia Tian at all.
Xia Tian shook his head. "Although I don't know how the news leaked, it definitely wasn't through recognition from a photo. The person who asked me this was Vice Dean Wang from our hospital. Do you think, with his status, how much attention and knowledge of me could he have had before? Since he wasn't recognized from a photo, someone must have told him the news."
Facing Xia Tian's questioning gaze, Chen Shaojie quickly shook his head and said, "Brother Tian, don't look at me. I definitely didn't say that. We've been brothers for so many years, don't you know me well? I don't have any other advantages, except for one thing: I'm very tight-lipped."
"Brother Tian, it wasn't me either. I didn't tell anyone about this."
"It's even more impossible for me. I've never been interested in these kinds of gossips, let alone actively discussing them with others. Besides, we promised you that we must keep it a secret!"
Seeing that his three roommates all shook their heads firmly in denial, Xia Tian didn't take it to heart: "Don't be nervous, I didn't say it was you who spread this. After all, you are just ordinary students like me. Even if you want to tell, you can't tell Vice Dean Wang!"
Hearing Xia Tian say this, the three brothers breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"Brother Tian, this is not a big deal! The school never interferes with students' love affairs. Even if Vice President Wang knows that your girlfriend is Qiu Mengyun, it should not have any impact on you, right? Why do you look so unhappy?" After temporarily getting rid of suspicion, Li Qingshan asked the question that was most puzzling to the three brothers.
Xia Tian said gloomily, "Originally, it wouldn't have had any impact, but it was because I missed an elective course to deliver something to Lin Wanqing, and I failed it. Today, Vice Dean Wang called me over and asked if I was Qiu Mengyun's boyfriend. After I denied it, he indirectly mentioned my failure to the course. He also hinted that if I couldn't invite Qiu Mengyun to the graduation ceremony in a week, I would have to take the make-up exam and fail again, and wouldn't be able to graduate."
"Fuck! Brother Tian, are you telling the truth?"
"This... this is too outrageous. He is a vice president after all. How could he do such a thing as taking advantage of others' misfortune?"
"This is a naked threat. Brother Tian, what are you going to do?"
After hearing Xia Tian’s complaints, the three brothers felt a little guilty and began to observe a moment of silence for Xia Tian.
Xia Tian said helplessly, "What else can I do? I'm about to graduate, and I can't give up halfway. I can only shamelessly ask Qiu Mengyun for help. I just don't know what kind of unequal treaty she'll make me sign this time."
"Brother Tian, don't be too depressed. Maybe Qiu Mengyun just wants to attend your graduation ceremony, and she will agree as soon as you ask her." Chen Shaojie comforted him with a smile.
"Haha, from what I know about her, if she could be so easy to talk to, she wouldn't be called Qiu Mengyun."
"It's a pity that the news leaked out too quickly. If it could have been leaked two days later, until the end of my make-up exam tomorrow, then nothing would matter. Humph! Don't let me know who stabbed me in the back, otherwise I will definitely not forgive him." Xia Tian said gritting his teeth.
Seeing Xia Tian's angry look, the other three couldn't help themselves and began to secretly send WeChat messages to the person who leaked the information to them to inquire.
