I'm in Love Apartment, and the system is making me cultivate immortality.

Meanwhile, in the dormitory.

Cao Guang was unaware of this.

The sentiment on the campus forums has begun to shift, thanks to the efforts of Ziqiao's online supporters and the school's official announcement.

His attention is now entirely focused on the chat box on the computer screen.

Fine beads of cold sweat appeared on Cao Guang's forehead.

"Senior, I have something terrible to tell you!"

Have you checked the forums?

"That Gu Yifan is the roommate I mentioned before, my older brother."

"That post was absolutely outrageous; it was constantly smearing him!"

"Damn it! My roommate has a congenital heart condition, and she fainted right after seeing the post! I was so scared, I'm still in the hospital!"

That's right, the girl with the Hello Kitty avatar and the name 'Happy' is Zhao Erxi.

It's very simple.

Cao Guang had created a fake account to make it easier to find out information about Xinling.

Using the pretext of recruiting new members, Erxi was added to the group.

This carefree and somewhat naive girl easily believed Cao Guang's excuse.

Under Cao Guang's deliberate guidance, the two chatted quite enthusiastically during this period.

Cao Guang also learned from Erxi's occasional anecdotes about their dormitory that Xia Xingchen liked Gu Yifan.

However, Erxi was somewhat cautious in this regard and never mentioned his real name.

When discussing certain sensitive topics, they were only briefly mentioned.

But Cao Guang had come prepared and naturally knew who Erxi's roommates were.

Looking at the messages in the chat box, Cao Guang, the instigator, felt a mix of emotions.

They even felt somewhat guilty and flustered.

He didn't know that Cyndi had a congenital heart condition!

All I know is that Cyndi Wang is in poor health.

Out of concern for her orphan status and privacy, her counselor never mentioned it.

Now, upon learning that his post almost indirectly caused Xinling's death and led to irreversible consequences, Cao Guang's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

This isn't even the most unsettling thing.

News of Erxi has surfaced again.

"But it's okay, my roommate's brother is amazing! His friend is already investigating who that bastard who posted that message is! Once we find him, hmph, he'll definitely teach him a lesson!"

Upon seeing this sentence, Cao Guang's already bewildered mood sank even further.

He thought he had done something flawless.

He posted anonymously, so no one could find his real identity.

But what if?
What if the investigation leads back to him...

The consequences... Cao Guang didn't even dare to think about them.

How to do?
Now how to do?
Should I reveal my identity, delete the post, and apologize?
But this thought was quickly suppressed by Cao Guang's pride.

He can apologize to Xinling and Xia Xingchen.

He simply couldn't bring himself to apologize to Gu Yifan!
Cao Guang was caught in a dilemma, struggling with his conscience.

Another message notification tone sounded.

Cao Guang looked over instinctively.

"Check the forum right now!"

Cao Guang, who was still struggling, was stunned when he saw the message.

An ominous premonition arose.

Cao Guang frantically opened the deliberately forgotten campus forum.

Forum Page
The number of replies in the upper right corner has changed from "no reading" to "99+".
Meanwhile, a post that had recently held the top spot on the forum has fallen to fifth place.

Cao Guang, his hands trembling, clicked on one of the posts with the mouse.

Scroll down the page.

Photos and descriptions came into view one after another.

Evidence that Gu Yifan and Hu Yifei knew each other before the start of the semester, as well as photos of gatherings and daily life in the apartment.

"This, how is this possible?" Cao Guang stared blankly, muttering to himself.

He instinctively didn't want to believe it.

But these photos shattered all his previous sordid speculations.

Cao Guang swallowed hard and continued reading.

Comment area.

All the previous barrage of criticism has now disappeared.

Instead, there was questioning of his anonymous posts.

Many people said they never believed this nonsense from the beginning, and it was obviously just a ploy to stir up trouble.

Cao Guang felt dizzy and quickly closed the post.

But a strong sense of unease, coupled with a sliver of curiosity, drove Cao Guang to click on several other posts.
The truths that were previously unknown are gradually revealed.

The bond between Gu Yifan and Xinling stems from the pure connection for saving each other's lives twice.

Gu Yifan's real girlfriend is actually the heiress of Lin's International Bank, a true princess.

Gu Yifan's so-called privilege was based on a real program cooperation with Shanghai TV station, which was approved by the department and the school, and was perfectly reasonable.

Furthermore, Gu Yifan owns two companies that have a significant influence among college students.

Under One Person, Three Kingdoms Kill, and Werewolf are all works familiar to college students.

They were all made by Gu Yifan.

The campus forum has completely exploded again.

Countless students discussed this matter, and the more they investigated, the more they realized that this person was an incredibly talented individual.

Some students even found a video of Gu Yifan participating in the Super Boy competition, where he publicly stated that he was singing for his girlfriend.

For a time, many people talked about this with great interest.

After reading all the posts, Cao Guang was at a loss.

He slumped into his chair, staring blankly at the screen.

So that's the truth.

This reminds me of how Cyndi Wang suffered a heart attack and was rushed to the hospital because of her own post.

Cao Guang's last bit of resentment stemming from jealousy was overwhelmed by regret and self-reproach.
What has he done?!

This is not over yet.

More posts are still popping up. It's not just Ziqiao's paid trolls.

Lin Xiangyu, Guan Chao, Xie Xun, and others also rallied their classmates to post messages in support of Gu Yifan.

The tone of the comments section has also completely changed.

"Handsome, kind-hearted, capable, and with such a beautiful girlfriend, what a perfect life template!"

"Good heavens, what's the point of going to school? It's a waste of time."

"So this is what the world of true geniuses is like?"

"I heard that Gu Yifan originally planned to drop out of school, but the school leaders didn't want him to drop out and took the initiative to let him not attend classes."

"I'm not jealous at all now, really."

Cao Guang knew without a doubt that his anonymous post had become nothing more than a fabrication by a jealous, incompetent, and furious monster.

Cao Guang opened his own post and scrolled to the comments section.

as expected
Those comments that echoed his sentiments have long been buried.

Instead, there was questioning and mockery.

"Dude, are you jealous?"

"You understand news."

"The clown, the number one clown at Tongji University has appeared."

"Dare to reveal which department and class you're in? I bet you're not Gu Yifan's classmate, are you?"

These sarcastic comments, densely packed, stung Cao Guang's eyes.

"It's over..."

Cao Guang seemed to have exhausted all his strength, collapsing into a chair, his face ashen.

I dare not read the comments anymore, and I dare not even think about what would happen if my identity were revealed.

How should I face my classmates, Xinling, and Gu Yifan?

Just when Cao Guang completely broke down.

The phone rang suddenly!

Cao Guang's body trembled. He looked at the contact name on his phone and saw it was his counselor!
Cao Guang dared not accept it.

But the bell kept ringing, over and over again.

In the end, Cao Guang answered the phone with trembling fingers.

"Hello, teacher."

Cao Guang tried his best to make his voice sound normal.

"I'm in my dorm room. I just fell asleep, and my phone is on vibrate."

The teacher didn't say anything, but just asked Cao Guang to go to the office, saying that he needed to talk to him.

What was supposed to come still came.
After hanging up the phone, Cao Guang closed his eyes in anguish.
There are mixed feelings in my heart.

There was fear, self-blame, guilt, and panic.

Cao Guang had to admit that he might have lost to Gu Yifan from the very beginning.

He suffered a crushing defeat. After an unknown amount of time, Cao Guang, his eyes dim, closed the forum page.

Just as I was about to shut down the computer.

Cao Guang's gaze fell once again on the chat box with Zhao Erxi.

After hesitating.

Cao Guang's fingers hovered over the keyboard for a moment before he quickly typed a line of text.

"sorry"

Click Send.

Then, Cao Guang immediately shut down the computer, not daring to look at Erxi's response.

Dragging his heavy body, Cao Guang stood up, picked up his coat, and walked unsteadily toward the door.

At that moment, the door was pushed open from the outside.

The three roommates walked in, talking amongst themselves.

One of Cao Guang's roommates was taken aback when he saw Cao Guang's distraught appearance and asked him casually.

"Cao Guang, are you going out?"

Cao Guang forced a smile. "Yes, my advisor wants to see me."

After saying that, Cao Guang lowered his head and hurriedly brushed past his roommate.

The three roommates were left standing at the door, looking at each other blankly.

He shrugged, not taking it too seriously.

hospital.

Seeing that Xinling's condition had stabilized, Miss Lin might still have some minor emotional issues.

He took Su Weiwei back to the company first.

Only Gu Yifan, Erxi, and Xia Xingchen remained at the hospital.

Gu Yifan had just hung up the phone call from Ziqiao bringing good news.

Ziqiao's mission was successfully completed.

Public opinion has completely reversed.

The truth came out.

To be fair, Gu Yifan wasn't angry at first.

The parts about him in that anonymous post, well, in a way, weren't exactly fabrications.

But Gu Yifan would never admit it!

As for the identity of the poster, it can be basically confirmed that it is Cao Guang, the class monitor of Xinling's class.

The motive behind Cao Guang's actions is obvious even to a fool.

It's nothing more than this kid having feelings for Xinling, but being unable to get her, he's driven by jealousy and hatred, resorting to these underhanded tactics.

All I can say is that they were too young and too naive.

Do you really think that being anonymous means you can leave no trace?

Little did he know that even without Zhanbo's help, Gu Yifan had suspected Cao Guang from the very beginning.

Originally, given Gu Yifan's mindset from two lifetimes, he wouldn't bother arguing with a freshman.

Hand it over to the school, handle it according to regulations, give them a demerit, and make them apologize if necessary, and that's it.

After all, strictly speaking, Cao Guang's analysis makes a lot of sense.

but!

Who told Cao Guang to almost get Xinling into trouble!

This crossed Gu Yifan's bottom line, so he couldn't let Cao Guang off easily.

This incident also served as a reminder to Gu Yifan.

The bigger the tree, the more the wind will blow against it; he will indeed need to be more cautious in his actions in the future.

You never know when you might be targeted.

Cao Guang was just the beginning, but certainly not the end.

So now, what should we do with Cao Guang? Should we wait for Xinling to wake up and ask her?

Just as Gu Yifan was stroking his chin in thought.

Erxi, who was sitting on a chair next to him playing on his phone, made a sound of surprise, looking somewhat confused.

While Gu Yifan was thinking, Xia Xingchen secretly glanced at his profile.

Even though she knew it was wrong, she couldn't help but feel a ripple in her heart.

Suddenly, Erxi gently nudged Xia Xingchen with his elbow, and she snapped back to reality, whispering in a flustered voice.

"what happened?"

Erxi didn't say anything, but handed the phone to Xia Xingchen.

Xia Xingchen looked over in confusion, and after seeing the message clearly, she quickly browsed through the previous chat history.

The thoughtful and intelligent girl was taken aback at first, then her expression changed slightly as she realized something.

Xia Xingchen pulled Erxi along and walked up to Gu Yifan.

"Brother Yifan."

"Hmm?" Gu Yifan looked up.

"Look at this."

"what happened?"

Gu Yifan took the phone.

Erxi nervously explained in a low voice, "This person is a senior I added a while ago. He said he was recruiting for a club, so I've been chatting with him."

Gu Yifan glanced at the chat history, paused for a moment, and then understood.

His expression became playful and strange.

If Gu Yifan remembers correctly.

In the storyline of "Love O2O", Zhao Erxi and Cao Guang seem to have a similar plot?

Cao Guang mistakenly took Erxi for Bei Weiwei.

However, this was clearly a fake account that Cao Guang deliberately created, probably to get close to Erxi and gather information.

Tsk, that little bit of cleverness would be so much better used for something else.

"It's alright, Erxi doesn't blame you." Gu Yifan handed the phone back to Erxi and comforted her gently.

Anyway, he already knows who it is.

It seems Cao Guang knows he can't hide it any longer. Is he preparing to repent in advance? Or is he indirectly exposing himself?
"Brother Yifan, do you know who it is?" Erxi asked, feeling guilty and a little angry.

Just then, Gu Yifan's phone rang.

It was Ms. Hu who called.

"Hold on."

Gu Yifan stood up and went outside to answer the phone.

"Hey?"

On the other end of the phone, Ms. Hu's voice came through, suppressing her anger.

"The kid who spread rumors about me has been caught. I just received a call from the accounting major's first-year student counselor. It's Cao Guang, the class monitor of Class 1."

"Oh, he admitted it himself?" Gu Yifan asked curiously.

"Yeah, his counselor said that he originally wanted the class monitor to visit Xinling in the hospital, but the little bastard admitted it himself."

"I'm going over there right now, let's see how I deal with him."

One can imagine what would happen to Cao Guang if he fell into the hands of the hot-tempered Ms. Hu.

hang up the phone.

Gu Yifan walked back, looked at Erxi and Xia Xingchen, hesitated for a moment, and then said simply.

"The person has been found."

"Who is it?" Xia Xingchen and Erxi asked in unison.

"It's Cao Guang, a classmate of yours."

When they heard Cao Guang's name, both of them were stunned and found it hard to believe.

But then Xia Xingchen realized, "I saw Cao Guang after class and greeted him. He must have seen the route I took to leave."

"Also, after I finished eating with you, Yifan, on my way back to school, I ran into Cao Guang at the school gate!"

Xia Xingchen's tone was very angry.

She had considered who was behind it all.

Could it be a classmate? But unexpectedly, the class monitor, who always had good interpersonal relationships, turned out to be the real culprit who smeared and spread rumors about them.

Erxi was so angry that she started to cry.

How could he do this!

He actually deceived her and used her to inquire about Xingchen and Xinling.

Erxi felt even more guilty because she had been so foolish as to believe it.

"Alright, it's nothing serious, don't take it to heart."

Gu Yifan comforted the two women before entering the ward.

They discovered that Xinling was already awake, her serene and pretty face looking this way.

"Brother, have you found out who it is?"

Gu Yifan nodded, stepped forward, helped Xinling sit up, and brushed aside the stray hairs falling across her face with his fingers.

"He's your class monitor."

Gu Yifan thought for a moment and then asked.

"Xinling, what do you think we should do to handle this?" (End of Chapter)
