Although Lu Jinsen sat at the side and did not say anything, he also searched for Meng Chuyuan’s Weibo account and silently clicked on it.
Meng Chuyuan had just registered for less than two minutes and she instantly attracted the attention of tens of thousands of fans. Some had even started to send her private messages.
Soon, the news of Meng Chuyuan opening Weibo became a trending topic. At the same time, it attracted the attention of many passersby and netizens.
“Why do I suddenly have so many followers?” Meng Chuyuan was stunned when she saw the screen filled with red dots.
Ting Jiu explained to her, “Because everyone likes you.”
“…” Meng Chuyuan glanced at the private messages and did not reply to any of them.
She felt that such crazy people should be relatively young. Moreover, she could not reply to so many messages. The fairest thing to do was not to reply, so as to prevent the audiences in front of the screen from forming distorted opinions.
The six guests had to record a vlog individually and upload it on Weibo. In order to preserve the mystery, the camera did not film the content of everyone’s recording in detail. It only filmed the back view of the audience from afar.
Half an hour later, the six guests finished their recordings and edited the video before posting it on social media.
After Lu Qianling finished the last class in the afternoon, she was in high spirits.
Ever since Meng Chuyuan rented a house nearby for her, Lu Qianling went to bed and woke up early every day. She was neither late nor absent from class.
Lu Qianling persevered for a few days. Today was the homeroom teacher’s class. Before class ended, the homeroom teacher even spent a few minutes praising her in front of the entire class.
Not only the form teacher, but the other teachers would also talk about this in class. Then, they would let everyone give Lu Qianling a round of applause and encourage her to continue working hard.
Perhaps it was because of this that some of the students felt uncomfortable.
After class, Lu Qianling and her deskmate Meng Meng went to the cafeteria to eat. Then, they returned to the classroom for evening self-study. Everything was quite normal in between. Nothing strange happened until Lu Qianling went to the toilet.
Other students liked to go to the toilet together, but Lu Qianling did not have this inclination.
She came out during self-study time. There was no one in the corridor. Everyone was in the classroom with their heads lowered and focused on their studies.
Lu Qianling subconsciously lightened her footsteps and walked past the other classrooms on the way to the washroom.
There was no one in the washroom, and it was especially quiet. Lu Qianling could hear the echo when she walked.
Not long after she closed the door, the lights in the bathroom suddenly went out, and darkness consumed her.
Lu Qianling was very calm and was not frightened by the sudden situation. She touched the smartwatch on her hand and turned on the weak flashlight. With the little light she had, she came out of the toilet.
She’d just heard the sound of the switch being flicked. Obviously, this wasn’t caused by a blackout or broken lights.
When Lu Qianling came out of the toilet, she even turned on the toilet light.
After returning to the classroom, Lu Qianling’s cold gaze swept across the sea of students before she slowly returned to her seat.
Meng Meng suddenly came over and looked at her. She asked softly, “Why were you in the toilet for so long?”
Lu Qianling took a tissue from the desk drawer to wipe her hands. In this quiet classroom, she did not deliberately lower her voice. Instead, she raised it. “I bumped into a ghost in the toilet just now.”
When the other students heard Lu Qianling’s words, they looked over curiously, as if they wanted to hear a story.
“…What are you talking about?” Meng Meng was confused by her words.
After Lu Qianling finished wiping her hands, she placed the tissue on the table. She leaned back on the chair, crossed her arms, and said calmly, “That ghost turned off the toilet light.”
The male classmate sitting in front of Lu Qianling turned to look at her and mocked, “I’ve heard the story of a ghost blowing out the light, but I’ve never heard of one turning off the light.”
Lu Qianling rolled her eyes at the boy and said to the whole class, “Did someone go to the toilet with me just now?”
She didn’t even get along with her classmates, let alone people from other classes. She didn’t even have any chance to form a grudge with anyone.
Lu Qianling felt that the classmate who turned off the lights should be in their class.
However, when everyone saw that she had suddenly changed the topic, they lost interest and retracted their gazes to continue doing the questions.
Seeing that no one made a sound, Lu Qianling sneered and said, “You dare to do it but don’t dare to admit it, right? Then you have to be careful. Don’t let me catch you.”
“Don’t tell me you’re going to report the person who did it to the teacher if you catch them?” The person in front of her was still mocking her.
“What are you laughing at? Shut up.” If it wasn’t for the fact that he was a boy, making it unlikely for him to have gone to the ladies’ room to play such a boring game, based on his previous sentence alone, Lu Qianling would’ve found him very suspicious..
