I woke up to find I had gotten my marriage certificate with a female celebrity.

As soon as Qin Yi stepped out of the classroom, he could feel many unfriendly gazes directed at him.

At first, I thought it was just a misperception from not sleeping well, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

But when he sat down in the library, this feeling became even stronger.

"?"

"Did I hear the sound of a camera shutter?"

The library is quiet by nature, and there weren't many people there in the morning.

A crisp click sounded behind him, making Qin Yi realize that it was definitely not an illusion.

At first, he pretended not to hear and continued reading, but his attention was entirely focused on his ears.

When the clicking sound came again, Qin Yi suddenly turned around.

"Is this a ghost? There's nobody here!"

The seats behind me were completely empty, not a single person in sight.

His action attracted a lot of attention, and he looked a little embarrassed, so he quickly covered his face with a book.

"No way, I'm sure I didn't hear wrong."

"Could it really be a ghost?"

Qin Yi gripped the corner of the book and shook his head violently.

He's a materialist, he doesn't believe in this nonsense.

The drowsiness from lack of sleep vanished instantly, and I moved to a seat further away to continue reading.

"Click."

Another shutter clicked, and Qin Yi was absolutely certain he hadn't misheard.

He looked around for the source of the sound, examining the expressions on everyone's faces, but couldn't discern anything unusual.

Qin Yi was a little confused for a moment and continued to look down at his book.

Not long after, hurried footsteps sounded in my ears.

Suddenly, I felt a tap on my shoulder and saw a security guard standing next to me with a girl.

"It's him, acting suspiciously, always staring at girls."

Qin Yi was taken aback, and stood up as if to explain.

However, the security guard interpreted his action as an attempt to escape, and his wrist was immediately grabbed.

"Excuse me, could you please come with us? We need to discuss something with you."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qin Yi was taken to the office as a suspicious person.

The teacher first questioned the female student next to her, then turned a stern look to Qin Yi.

His tone was even more forceful and left no room for argument.

"This female student reported you for taking photos without permission. Take out your phone and let me check it."

A female teacher and a female student.

Upon seeing this pair of people, Qin Yi felt a wave of dizziness.

"Teacher, isn't this wrong?"

"My phone is my personal privacy, and you have no right to check it."

"Besides, the way you're talking makes it sound like you've confirmed I'm the culprit. I'd like to say that I was the one who was secretly photographed."

The teacher on duty slammed her hand on the table, her eyes looking as if she had confirmed that Qin Yi had been secretly filming.

"Someone's taking pictures of you without your consent? Are you some kind of celebrity?"

"All the other students were quietly reading, but you were the only one looking around, and you kept staring at the girls."

"Even the sound of the camera shutter was coming from the direction of your seat."

"Stop making excuses. Confess honestly, and maybe the punishment won't be so severe!"

Sleep deprivation makes people irritable, so if the teacher could persuade her gently, she would have shown the phone.

Hearing this tone now, Qin Yi had no desire to cooperate at all.

"Where's the evidence? Without proof that I secretly filmed you, why should I give you my phone?"

"A celebrity? I'm definitely a semi-celebrity."

"Furthermore, I have a lot of confidential information on my phone, which I cannot provide to you for viewing."

The two sides were deadlocked, and the tension gradually escalated.

The teacher on duty raised her voice higher and higher, and even with the door closed, her voice could be clearly heard outside.

"Give me your phone, now, immediately!"

Qin Yi didn't want to get entangled with her any longer, so he simply called his counselor to the scene.

Sun Guanting first glanced at his student, then turned and asked.

"Teacher Li, what happened?"

Before Qin Yi could explain, the other party pointed at Qin Yi's head and shouted.

"Professor Sun, a student in your department was secretly taking pictures of female students in the library. This behavior is extremely egregious."

"Now he's completely unrepentant and is even changing the subject by saying someone secretly filmed him."

"These students nowadays are really something else. They're even putting secrets on their phones now. Who do they think they are?"

"I want to check his phone right now. Make him give it to me immediately!"

Sun Guanting ignored her and turned directly to ask Qin Yi.

"Are you sure someone took pictures of you without your consent?"

Hearing this, Li Ling became even more agitated, even feeling that Sun Guanting was protecting students from his department.

"Sun Guanting, what do you mean?"

"He was secretly taking pictures of female classmates. Are all the guys in your department like this?"

Sun Guanting glared at him and said, "Teacher Li, calm down!"

"Is the matter settled now? Is there any evidence?"

"There's no evidence at all, how do you know it was Qin Yi who took the photos secretly?"

"Moreover, Qin Yi is indeed a public figure now, and he can sue you for making such unsubstantiated defamations."

"I don't want our Linhai University to end up in some entertainment newspaper because of this."

After calming the other person down, Qin Yi stepped forward and spoke.

"Teacher Sun, here's the situation."

"I was reading in the library when I heard the sound of a camera shutter clicking behind me."

"I've been getting a lot of negative press lately, and I often see suspicious people around my house."

"So I suspect that some paparazzi have infiltrated the school, or that some anti-fans are taking pictures without my knowledge."

"I wanted to avoid false clips or videos taken out of context circulating online, which is why I wanted to observe any suspicious traces around me."

"My actions just now were indeed a bit strange, but I assure you I didn't take any photos of anyone. You can check my phone."

"But you have to do it in front of me, and you can't open those business documents."

Sun Guanting nodded thoughtfully. After all, this was his student, and he was somewhat concerned about the online controversy.

He turned his head and spoke to Li Ling again.

"Teacher Li, now that the situation is clear, if you still want to check his phone, I can help you examine it."

"I'd also like to investigate the surveillance video."

"One reason is to prove the innocence of my department's students, and the other is that such things as secretly filming must never be allowed to happen on campus."

As he spoke, Sun Guanting's voice gradually turned colder.

"Teacher Li, if the surveillance footage proves Qin Yi is innocent, shouldn't you apologize to him for your actions just now?"

Li Ling snorted coldly, without mentioning the matter of apologizing.

"Investigate! Investigate right now!"

"What kind of pretentious contract is this? I think it's just an excuse!"

Sun Guanting's temper was also provoked. If it weren't for the sake of his colleague, he wouldn't be in such a good mood right now.

After obtaining Qin Yi's consent, he even displayed the photo album in front of the two of them.

"Teacher Li, and this student too."

"Now do you see clearly? There isn't a single candid photo in Qin Yi's album. It's full of commercial contracts."

"If you insist on checking, he can report you to the education bureau."

"Even a court summons could be at your doorstep tomorrow!"

Sun Guanting handed the phone back to Qin Yi, then angrily addressed the other two.

"Let's go to the monitoring room."

"You two come with me!"
