My Psycho-Beautiful Professor Forced Me to Mark Her - Chapter 5

Medical students’ classes were almost all day, and evenings at the bar were the busiest. On weekends, the bar didn’t close until two or three in the morning. Qi Si didn’t have the face to knock on the dorm manager’s door in the middle of the night, so she would just stay at the bar after closing to study, then ride a shared bike back to the dorm to get some sleep when it was light out.

After a while, Qi Si’s energy was drained, and her biological clock was a mess. She couldn’t stop herself from dozing off in class during the day. Medical theory classes were particularly dry, and the teachers just read from the textbook. The class atmosphere was terrible; a large number of students were on their phones or sleeping. The only thing that got the students’ attention was roll call. And Qi Si’s name contained an uncommon character, so it was often intentionally skipped.

After a few of these, Qi Si learned to skip class. The first class she skipped was the one Su Mo Xiao taught on Wednesday afternoon.

Shen Yixuan was quite indignant about this. She messaged her several times to ask why and even came to the dorm to find her, but Qi Si was nowhere to be seen from morning to night, and her roommates had no idea where she was either.

It had only been half a month since the school year started, and freshmen were still in the exploration phase, busy joining clubs and making friends. Everyone was glued to their phones, and any gossip would spread like wildfire in the group chats.

This day, while Qi Si was working at the bar, she received several messages from high school classmates she hadn’t been in touch with for over a year.

Lai Gaoyuan: Link from A University forum. Title: [Regarding the difference between Goddess Mo Xiao’s body scent and pheromones, as her ex, I have more to say].

Lai Gaoyuan: Is this you? How can you be so disgusting?

Lai Gaoyuan: Let Mo Xiao go, and let yourself go. Why are you still holding on to her?

Lai Gaoyuan: Delete the post and apologize immediately!!! Or you’re dead!!!

Zhou Weihang: You’re fucking disgusting. Your whole family must be dead, and no one is looking after you, right? Doing something so immoral. I should’ve brought a knife and stabbed you, you disgusting piece of shit!

…

Qi Si frowned and clicked on the forum. She skimmed through the post, and her frown deepened.

The person who posted claimed to be Su Mo Xiao’s ex. At first, they just talked about unrelated things to get attention. When the post gained traction and people started questioning them, the original poster revealed so-called “relevant evidence”: including Su Mo Xiao’s high school and class, and a photo of her in the classroom.

The post got more and more popular, and the poster kept everyone on the hook. The post then became a place for people to vent. People made lewd jokes, made fun of the goddess, and said things like they’d seen her in heat or knew her body measurements. The comments became more and more explicit, and the original poster disappeared, watching the fire they started get bigger and bigger.

Qi Si was caught in the crossfire. She blocked those high school classmates, and then her phone received countless anonymous insults, buzzing non-stop.

Zhou Danqing came to the wine cabinet to get a bottle. Hearing the buzzing, she couldn’t help but laugh, “Xiao Qi, even busier than me?”

Qi Si turned on airplane mode and put her phone away. “Sorry.”

“I’m just joking,” Zhou Danqing took the most expensive bottle of Ace of Spades, picked out a polished wine glass, and kissed the rim with her red lips before placing it in front of Qi Si. “Room 101. Tell them it’s on me.”

The red lipstick mark on the glass was faint, but even more eye-catching was the boss’s sexy outfit.

Someone who could make a rich and beautiful boss lower herself to please… Qi Si was a little curious.

Was it that older Omega woman from last time? She hadn’t seen her in a long time.

Pushing open the door to private room 101, there was a man in his thirties inside, with a faint, unique Alpha scent.

Qi Si leaned over to pour the wine. From the corner of her eye, she saw the man frown slightly as he stared at the lipstick mark on the glass.

The scent of a male Alpha instinctively repulsed her. Qi Si did her job and didn’t show any undue curiosity. She closed the door and left.

So the boss likes this type? But he doesn’t seem easy to get along with.

As expected, when the man left the private room, the wine in his glass was untouched. Zhou Danqing smoked by the door for a long time and announced the bar was closing before 11 PM.

Qi Si went back to her dorm and washed the smell of alcohol off herself, bringing fried chicken she bought on the way for her two roommates.

Both of her roommates loved junk food. Waiting for Qi Si to come out of the bathroom, they excitedly told her the gossip: “Did you know, the school forum blew up tonight.”

Qi Si borrowed her roommate’s hairdryer. The roommate generously pointed to it and said, while gnawing on the fried chicken, “It’s so funny. I bet a lot of people are so mad they can’t sleep tonight!”

Qi Si: “What happened?”

“Someone in the forum started a fight. It was about a campus beauty from the medical school. The arguments were so heated, and a bunch of people reported it, but the administrators didn’t do anything. The post was up for three hours. In the end, those who reported it couldn’t take it anymore, and I heard they hacked the forum website. The website is still down now!”

Qi Si checked, and the previous post was indeed a 404 error.

…Hackers from the computer science department are truly amazing. They could even hack the famous A University forum.

Her two roommates talked about the matter happily. One of them was from the college of physical education and had just started dating. The other was a gaming enthusiast from the college of science who was in the same dorm because she had changed her major. She usually stayed away from groups and just saw school gossip as entertainment.

Qi Si, who was at the center of the controversy, didn’t care much about the matter. After blow-drying her hair, she picked up her computer science textbook and started studying.

After finishing the theory part, Qi Si encountered a problem she couldn’t solve at the moment—

She lacked the tools for practice, a computer.

How could she study computer science without a computer? Should she program in her head?

But with her current debt situation, her wages went directly to paying off loans. How could she afford a computer?

To make matters worse, Shen Yixuan came to find her the next day and asked her to join the class group discussion about the fall outing, which obviously meant she would have to spend money.

Qi Si: “I have to work this weekend, so I won’t be joining the fall outing.”

“No way. You’ve been skipping classes these past few days, and you don’t even participate in class or club activities. How can you go on like this? Stop thinking about working all the time. A student’s main duty is to study. You’re losing sight of what’s important and wasting your youth. In the end, you’ll have trouble even graduating!”

Qi Si felt like she’d been hit by an arrow in the knee. Her student life had been a mess for the past two years. Sometimes, she would dream that her old classmates were becoming successful while she was in a dark bar wiping the counter and bowing to serve people.

“…What can I do?” Qi Si asked in a low voice.

Shen Yixuan: “Your suggestion for the Teacher’s Day gift was great. I heard that senior Mo Xiao was very happy when she received it and put the flower arrangement in the lab. This time, there’s a vote for the fall outing in the group, and you haven’t voted yet, right? We’re missing a few crucial votes. See where you want to go and cast your vote. If you’re short on cash, I can lend it to you first.”

Qi Si opened the group chat she had muted. It was 11:50 PM, and the messages were still coming in. The excited college students were arguing fiercely over the destination for the fall outing.

Zhao Tao: Universal Studios! Universal Studios! Everyone vote for Universal Studios!

Zhao Tao: My aunt is a shareholder at Universal Studios. I can get discounted tickets for everyone, and the express pass to skip the lines is only 888 yuan. You’ll have a blast!

Li Qun: I’m tired of Universal Studios. Let’s check out the new Yaoxue Ski Resort next door. The equipment is all brand new! [Image] [Image]

Zhang Lingchun: Hahaha, what if we want to go to both? Can we have another fall outing next month and take turns?

Li Qun: I support this [heart] [heart]

Qi Si: “…”

Most of the students who could get into A University came from well-off families. Qi Si often saw students carrying luxury brand bags and wearing designer shoes on the road. These rich students were often ostentatious and cliquish. For instance, these few who made the class group chat their playground for a select few were showing off in every word—for example, the ski resort they recommended was very popular online recently, but to do all the activities, it would cost at least 2,000 yuan, which was not something an average college student could afford.

Despite their efforts to get votes, the final voting result was not what they wanted. Many silent lurkers voted for “hiking,” an activity that didn’t cost a lot.

Current results:

Universal Studios: 23 votes

Yaoxue Ski Resort: 19 votes

Hiking: 23 votes

Zhao Tao: @Everyone Has the voting been finalized? Is there anyone else who hasn’t voted?

Shen Yixuan typed back: Wait a moment, there’s one crucial vote left.

The group messages paused for a moment. Soon, a voting notification appeared on the blank screen: Qi Si has completed the vote.

The silent group won. Qi Si had chosen hiking. The rich kids were furious. They complained for a few minutes before calming down and handing over the group chat to others.

Shen Yixuan: [Thumbs up] [Thumbs up] A very crucial vote.

Ouyang Xia: Yes, saved half a month’s living expenses. Thank you, @Qi Si

At the same time, in an anonymous group with over a thousand people, “Qi Si’s” profile picture and name were screen-shotted and posted. The user “Juyuan” asked, “Who is this person? The name seems familiar.”

Anonymous users quickly replied:

A: Her? I know her.

B: That person’s ex. Haven’t seen her in a long time. Wait, wasn’t that post from yesterday by her?

A: She’s a complete idiot. She’s the reason why the forum is still down. What’s wrong with her?

C: Who is it? What are you guys talking about?

D: The ex-girlfriend? Is that her?

A: “Ex-girlfriend” is hilarious.

E: Oh my god, the goddess’s ex? The one who blew up the forum yesterday?

F: Which dorm is she in? I want to go beat her up and get revenge for senior Mo Xiao!

C: Has this person been doxxed? Any alumni from High School #1 want to tell us about her?

B: I was in the class next to her in high school. I don’t know the details. I only heard she applied to our school for college, maybe because she wanted to pester that person.

E: That’s so disgusting. Senior Mo Xiao is so pitiful. How could she have such a piece of trash for an ex?

G: Unrequited love turns into hatred. Oh my god, I’m so worried about the senior.

…

Overnight, the news that Qi Si was Su Mo Xiao’s ex exploded in the class group!

Qi Si’s high school, Jinghai High School #1, was a famous key high school. More than two-thirds of the students in a class could get into a TOP 10 university. Although A University’s School of Medicine was difficult to get into, the admission scores for other majors were lower. With its regional advantage, it was easy to run into high school alumni at A University. It was incredibly easy to doxx Qi Si.

Shen Yixuan was still in dorm 602 chatting with the physical education student when she was suddenly urgently called back by the pink-haired girl. She closed the dorm door and warned her seriously, “You can’t have anything to do with Yuan Lǚ from now on!”

Shen Yixuan: “Huh?”

The pink-haired girl showed her the messages from the class group. “She’s a piece of trash and is already famous. Look, her high school photos have already been found.”

Shen Yixuan zoomed in on the photo. “…She was already this good-looking in high school.”

“Dorm leader! This is a serious matter!”

“It is very serious, and considering how she’s always skipping class, there’s something very wrong with this person.”

“Exactly. It’s best not to be associated with her. You’ve been getting too close to her, and it’s a very bad influence. It’ll hurt our reputation as female Alphas.”

“You shouldn’t have asked her about the fall outing in the first place!” The pink-haired girl was the most emotional. “You can know a person’s face but not their heart. No wonder senior Mo Xiao’s attitude was so strange in class that day. It’s because of her! You need to be more careful. You’re making friends with everyone. She’s a piece of trash, and she even made a post insulting senior Mo Xiao!”

Shen Yixuan: “…But she did give a great suggestion. The gift thing…”

Pink-haired girl: “That gift thing was so strange! I thought it was weird then. How could she know what kind of flowers the senior liked? So that’s how it is! Ugh!”

Shen Yixuan looked like she was about to say something, her lips trembling. She scrolled through the chat history for a long time, and her face got worse and worse. Finally, she gritted her teeth, turned around, and pushed the door open.

“Hey, where are you… going…” The pink-haired girl didn’t finish her last word before she heard Shen Yixuan knocking on the door of dorm 602.

“Damn it! The dorm leader is too reckless…” The pink-haired girl was so angry she was jumping up and down. “Why is she going to see her again?!”

Ji Min: “Shhh—”

The two dorm doors were wide open, and their conversation was clear.

The girls from dorm 601 were leaning against the doorframe, listening to their dorm leader’s questioning voice: “Did you post in the forum yesterday?”

Qi Si: “No.”

Shen Yixuan let out a “ha,” which sounded like she was angry, but not because she suspected Qi Si was lying. “Someone impersonated you and posted in the forum. Do you know that?”

Qi Si: “Yes.”

Shen Yixuan: “You know, but you’re not doing anything about it?! Go and prove yourself!”

Qi Si’s reply was subtle. It sounded like a laugh, but her tone was not frivolous. She said, “It’s difficult to prove something I didn’t do. You can only prove the presence of something, not the absence of something. Proving myself is a trap in itself.”

Not long after, the A University forum was back online. The official administrator responded to the hot post, finding the poster’s IP address. They stated that the user was a senior architecture student who couldn’t find a job and had nothing to do with the “High School #1 ex” that was being spread online.

Despite this, the malice directed at Qi Si on the internet did not stop. Even Qi Si’s roommate from the physical education college said to her when she was about to go out, “Wear a mask, just in case some idiot tries to mess with you.”

On Thursday evening of the third week of school, Qi Si was practicing programming in the electronic reading room of the library.

She had a rare two-day break from working at the bar. She was using every minute to catch up on her homework and study until the library closed. Then she packed up her USB drive and left.

The elevator was packed. As an Alpha, Qi Si consciously chose to take the stairs.

Behind her, someone was following closely. The sound of “thump, thump” echoed in the dim stairwell. The steps were fast, but they would always stop oddly in the middle, as if they didn’t want to pass Qi Si, but were following her?!

When this thought came to mind, Qi Si stopped on a stair, took out her phone, and turned on the flashlight. She used the light to look at the person behind her.

A nimble, fat person walked quickly down the stairs. When he met Qi Si’s eyes, he didn’t stop. Instead, he sped up and slammed into her—

First came a strong stench. It was the smell of a fat person who sweated a lot in the summer. When he hit her, Qi Si felt his T-shirt was wet and greasy. It was like she’d been hit in the face with a pile of poop. She tried to dodge, but in her haste, she stumbled down a few steps, and her phone flew out of her hand!

“Thump, thump, thump.” The phone flew over the railing. The intervals between it hitting the ground got longer and longer. Her old phone, which had been with Qi Si through three years of high school and one year of college, was finally broken.

Qi Si didn’t care to pick it up. She stood up awkwardly and asked the fat man, “Did you do that on purpose?”

“How could I? I must’ve done it by accident,” the fat man laughed savagely. “Even if I did it on purpose, did I break the law?”

Qi Si looked at the surveillance camera in the stairwell. The fat man said, “What if the camera recorded it? Are you missing an arm or a leg? You broke your phone yourself, you idiot!”

Qi Si: “Why?”

“Why? Ask yourself. You did such immoral things. Do you still want to play the victim? I’m warning you, you better leave the medical school as soon as possible and never show your face in front of Su Mo Xiao again. You should hide as far away as possible like a cockroach. You better wear a mask when you go out so no one recognizes you, or you’ll have a hard time for the next four years of college. Today was just a warning. You might not be so lucky next time!”

Qi Si didn’t say a word. She watched as the fat man walked past her, full of himself, the stench making her feel nauseous. Qi Si suddenly kicked him hard in the back of his knee. The fat man tumbled down thirteen stairs, and his face was a bloody mess.
