“Do you want me to bring you all supper?” I asked.

Liu Fei quickly waved his hand and said, “No, no, Brother Luo. I’m full. I’m full. Besides, you know that I hate midnight snacks.”

The other two also hurriedly refused, as if they were afraid that I would bring them supper, which made me very confused.

After that, the three of them urged me to go for supper. I didn’t know what they were up to.

Alright, then I’ll beat them at their own game.

“Alright, I’ll go out for supper then.”

I intentionally shouted in the dormitory so that everyone would know that I had gone out.

“Go, go.” The few of them urged.

I smiled, picked up my coat, and walked out of the dorm room.

I slammed the door shut and leaned against the door to listen for any movements inside.

I’d like to see what these kids are up to.

“Has he left?” It seemed to be Liu Fei’s voice as he asked the other two in the room.

I was puzzled. Why are they all hoping that I’ll leave?

I thought about it. Today isn’t my birthday. Then I thought about it again. None of them have their birthday today. Why are they being so mysterious?

Just as I was thinking, the other two replied.

“Let’s go, let’s go.”

Then, I heard the sound of chairs being moved. It seemed that they had all stood up.

I stood still and continued to listen to the movement in the dorm room.

“I saw Brother Luo sitting on the computer for a long time just now. At first, I thought he was playing games, but then I realized that he doesn’t usually play games. Could he be chatting with a girl?” Liu Fei asked curiously.

“But I don’t think Brother Luo usually contacts girls. How would he have that kind of leisure time?” The other person was also puzzled.

“Hehe, I think he’s definitely hitting on girls online. Forget it, we’ll know when Brother Luo isn’t here.” Liu Fei smiled slyly.

Hearing this, I laughed in my heart. So this is what these kids are thinking. But I didn’t care. If they wanted to read it, then so be it. Writing a thesis wasn’t a big secret.

I leaned against the door and continued to listen. I looked through the peephole.

“What? Brother Luo is chatting with a girl?” The boss could not believe Liu Fei’s words.

“That’s impossible!”

“If you don’t believe me, you can come over and take a look.” Liu Fei said with confidence.

“Alright, let’s hurry over and take a look.” The other two said excitedly.

Then, Liu Fei took the lead and walked to the computer desk. He looked at the computer screen and said, “Brother Luo seems to be writing something.”

The other two people were stunned for a moment, then walked over.

When the two of them looked at the computer, their expressions suddenly became strange. They looked at each other, and the boss said, “It’s only a dozen pages. Don’t tell me that Lin Luo is writing some web novel behind our back?”

At this moment, the other two people questioned.

“In this day and age, only a fool would write web novels. Those guys are bald and bitter, and don’t earn any money. They’re not even as good as a bricklayer. Brother Luo is definitely not that stupid.” Liu Fei said with certainty.

I cursed him in my heart. I’m writing a thesis! How can this be a web novel? How could I be so stupid?

After that, I saw boss move closer to the computer, pick up the mouse, and casually move it. “Take a look for yourself. These are more than ten pages. If this isn’t a web novel, what is it? I say, Lin Luo, this kid, is there something wrong with his brain? Why would he write a web novel for no reason?” His tone was filled with contempt and disdain.

I was listening from outside the door and was speechless. Your brain is the one with water in it! No matter what I do, I won’t write a web novel.

Liu Fei was the closest to me, so he retorted unhappily, “What’s wrong with writing web novels? There’s a way to earn money from web novels, and it’s even more profitable than traditional novels. Why don’t we write web novels with Brother Luo? Maybe we can really make money?”

I was listening outside the door, and my head was going numb. Can you guys take a closer look at what I wrote? Besides, this Liu Fei is certain that I’m writing a web novel. He’s really rubbing it in.

I really wanted to drag him out and beat him up. This kid really deserved a beating.

Boss snorted and said, “Stop dreaming. There are only so many ways to earn money from online novels these days. It’s not as simple as you think. Even if they can really make money, those senior authors will keep it for themselves. How can they let us newbies pick up the scraps? Just give up on that idea. Besides, what do you think writing is? ”

Liu Fei pouted. “Sweet Silkworm Potato[1] became a god as soon as he wrote an online novel. I’m still reading his Soybean Meal Sky. Maybe I’ll be the same as him and become a god as soon as I write it.”

I almost burst out laughing when I heard this. The boss did not want to spoil Liu Fei, so he said, “You want to become a God with your looks? Stop joking.”

Hearing his boss’s unreserved ridicule, Liu Fei was not convinced, “Why can’t I?”

“You’re not good at anything. Let me tell you, don’t think about making a fortune by writing novels. By the time you’re good at it, I’ll have retired long ago. Do you still expect me to take care of you then?” The boss looked at Liu Fei with a mocking expression.

I couldn’t help but laugh when I heard this, but I didn’t dare to make a sound for fear of being discovered.

I didn’t care about the fight between boss and Liu Fei. Boss had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He usually took care of us. He was just afraid that we’d have unrealistic dreams and be deceived.

“That’s enough, stop arguing. Come over and take a closer look. Brother Luo doesn’t seem to be writing a web novel.” The other roommate who had not participated in the fight between the two spoke.

The boss and Liu Fei also stopped quarreling and went to the computer desk.

“Eh? I think Brother Luo is writing a thesis.” Liu Fei touched his chin and said, “I think this is a good opportunity. We should learn from him. Maybe we can write a thesis too.”

I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. You two young masters must be drunk. A thesis? do you think a thesis is that easy to write?

“Thesis? Why is Lin Luo writing a thesis?” The boss asked while scratching the back of his head.

“How would I know? People like brother Luo are always unpredictable.” Liu Fei shook his head.

I thought to myself, These two buffoons are really of the highest quality.

“Damn, why is this paper about HIV?” Liu Fei exclaimed when he noticed the title of the thesis.
