To others, hacking the school database might be big news. But to Lu Benlai and Xia Shangzhou, who knew Lin Jiage well, it was no different from a perfectly ordinary sentence, similar to 'What do you want to eat tonight?'.
So, Lu Benlai replied with a casual "Oh" before carrying out Lin Jiage's orders.
Very soon, Lu Benlai received a notification that his thread had cleared inspection and was posted.
He quickly refreshed the school forum webpage, and he noticed that along with his 'Shi Yao PK Qin Yiran, Who Is the Ultimate Victor', another post had surfaced —'Look At Shi Yao's Plain Photo' .
Lu Benlai noted that the OP went by the username [Pan-fried Dumplings Xiaolongbao Lobster Ramen Barbecue].
Wasn't this the Little Junior who was rumored to be with their boss?
His thread was posted at 21:47 whereas her thread was posted at 21:48...
Noticing this detail, Lu Benlai couldn't help but remark, "Boss, your Little Junior is pretty impressive. A minute after I posted my thread, she posted a new thread as well, and her topic is amazingly similar to yours…"
"What? What?" Hearing those words, Xia Shangzhou immediately went on the school forum again. Upon seeing the two threads which Lu Benlai was referring to, he exclaimed in astonishment, "Is there some kind of telepathic connection between the two of you? Little Junior wasn't callous enough to use an ID photo, but instead, she chose to post a plain photo which just looks like it was taken secretly by her roommates. That's a really smart move!"
In the instant that Lu Benlai saw the thread posted by Shi Yao, Lin Jiage noticed it as well.
Hearing Lu Benlai's and Xia Shangzhou's compliments, he replied with a seemingly nonchalant "She's quite smart", but couldn't conceal the irritating smugness between his brows.
"I suddenly pity Qin Yiran. It's one thing for her to have provoked a devil like Little Junior, but even our boss, the great devil, is shooting daggers from the back. Tsk tsk tsk, under the perfect harmony of these two, it's little wonder that Qin Yiran will end up crushed!" Lu Benlai shook his head and sighed.
Xia Shangzhou: "Crushed is an understatement, she's been utterly devastated that there's barely anything left of her anymore. But I do find it hard to believe that our boss didn't contact Little Junior about this. One side attacking beautifully, and the other side supporting perfectly, such seamless teamwork can only appear between couples who know each other well! Hai, how pitiful is Qin Yiran…"
Lin Jiage cleared his throat. It was a sound not too soft nor too loud.
But, the duo who had been sighing in lamentation for Qin Yiran immediately shuddered, and they quickly changed their words.
"Qin Yiran deserves this for everything she did. We're already going easy on her here!"
"I should prepare another two more threads to flame her, or else I'll never be able to calm my anger from her misdeeds!"
A moment later, Lu Benlai suddenly thought of something, and he halted for a moment to ask, "Wait a moment. If Qin Yiran's username is [Slaughter Lü Bu Bang Diao Chan], does that mean that Little Junior is Lü Bu and our boss is Diao Chan?"
Xia Shangzhou made an orchid finger gesture 1 and paired it with one of Diao Chan's lines from Wangzhe Rongyao 2 in a coy tone, "If you stare at me so candidly, I'll be embarrassed."
Lu Benlai casually grabbed a tissue paper and waved it seductively as if it were a handkerchief. Shooting a seductive glance at Xia Shangzhou, he followed through with another one of Diao Chan's lines, "Receiving too many love letters is troublesome too!"
These two lunatics!
Lin Jiage couldn't stand his weirdo roommates any longer, so after seeing that the situation in the forum was settled, he stood up, grabbed a towel and his pajamas, and headed to the bathroom to wash up.
Orchid finger gesture (direct translation) is a gesture which consists of placing the middle finger with the thumb lightly. It's often done in Chinese opera and dances by women, and it's commonly recognized to be a symbol of a beauty. Wangzhe Rongyao is a popular mobile game in China that is reminiscent of DotA and League of Legends. A handful of its characters are modeled after historical characters such as Wu Zetian, Qin Shihuang, Diao Chan, etc.
