Chapter 204: Chapter 203: Headline News

Damn, this bunch of people skipped morning study just to gape at scandals about female celebrities in the entertainment industry. Even more exaggerated is that the girls are also spectating, led by the class leader himself. Could this female celebrity be that famous? Sadly, her face was obscured by the damn mosaic, so it’s impossible to tell who it is.

"Brother Tian, it’s not that, you got it wrong." Fatty Huang was painfully embarrassed, wishing there was a crack in the ground he could squeeze into, only, it would have to be a pretty large crack to fit him.

Class Leader He’s face also flushed. If others misunderstood that he led the gossip about the female celebrity, the authoritative image of the class leader would be completely ruined. He quickly corrected, "Lin Tian, what you are looking at is the subsidiary page, it should be the main page there, take a look."

"Class leader, you should have said so earlier. Like me, an honest person, why would I care about that stuff, right? But I guess it’s fine to indulge a little sometimes to cultivate sentiments." Lin Tian shamelessly took the newspaper and continued reading, leaving his male peers agape. Could he really be so blatant?

This time Lin Tian did not get it wrong. The front page of the newspaper indeed carried a significant piece of news.

"Zhonghai City’s Gambling Stone Festival has successfully concluded, this edition of the Gambling Stone Festival witnessed a sky-high priced jadeite..." Lin Tian read a bit and realized that the news was talking about his own experience; it had actually made the headlines.

"Brother Tian, keep reading, see if there’s anything special about the name of the person who found the sky-high priced jadeite," Fatty Huang urged.

Lin Tian found it strange that they were so gossipy but continued reading regardless.

"Damn, who put my name up there?" Lin Tian saw the content introducing the cutting process of the No.1 and No.2 raw materials in great detail, and his own name was mentioned there, marked as the owner of the No.1 sky-high priced jadeite.

Luckily, there was no photo attached, or the fame would have been a bit too much for him. There was a picture though, right in the middle was the stone cutting scene, and among the many people there, one young man’s back looked oddly familiar. Lin Tian looked more closely at the clothes and figure; wasn’t that his own back?

I’m on the headlines, Lin Tian thought first, then felt relieved that a frontal photo hadn’t been exposed. He owed this to Ou Qinglan’s good fortune, as no photography was allowed wherever she was, and that’s why few people recognized her.

"Brother Tian, that person in the article shares your name; it couldn’t possibly be you, could it?" Fatty Huang was practically shining his eyes, staring intently at Lin Tian.

The others were also visibly excited, and the girls stopped talking, all ears tuned to what was happening here while Lin Tian saw everyone wearing gossipy expressions, which left him speechless.

"So what if it is? So what if it isn’t?" Lin Tian said helplessly.

"What do you mean, so what? If it is you, then you’re a billionaire, and just like the news said, you are a master level figure too. Brother Tian, don’t forget your little brother, begging to be kept!" Fatty Huang yelled exaggeratedly, clinging to Lin Tian’s arm.

Lin Tian immediately felt his arm sink into a mass of fat, and what made it even more awkward was that it was a man’s. Even knowing Fatty Huang was joking, Lin Tian’s heart still shuddered. While others kept mistresses in golden houses, if he had to keep a plump man, he’d probably have nightmares at night.

He quickly pulled his arm away, denying, "Brother Fatty, no, if I were to keep anyone, it’d be a beauty. Besides, that Lin Tian is just a namesake, I don’t have that kind of money to keep someone, I’m the one who needs keeping!"

"I don’t buy it, look at the picture of that young guy cutting the stone, doesn’t the silhouette resemble you, carrying that movie-like gambler’s flair? You guys think it looks like him, right?" Fatty Huang grabbed the newspaper, pointing at the image, seeking validation from the onlooking students.

"Yes, it really does!"

"Cut, have you all gone blind? I think it doesn’t look like him at all!"

Someone burst out with a dissenting opinion, and all the students, regardless of gender, glared angrily at him.

"Uh, let me finish guys." He flinched and quickly added, "It’s not that he looks like him, I think that actually is Brother Tian."

"Lucky you spoke up fast, or else I’d have to dispatch you in the name of the Moon." A girl struck a classic Sailor Moon pose and glared at him.

"Exactly, dare to talk about Lin Tian like that, beware I might judge you in the name of Goddess Athena!" another girl coolly said.

Oh man, what the heck, I already denied it, and they still insist it’s me. Lin Tian, standing in the crowd, really wanted to howl in frustration. Whoever took that photo, come forward, I swear I won’t kill you!

"Dear classmates, I’m not any master. Let’s not get too excited, okay? Class is about to start, hurry back to your seats, or Teacher Fang might punish you to clean the bathrooms." Lin Tian had to raise his hands in surrender — at this rate, autograph hunters would emerge.

"Cough, cough..." A few coughs resonated at the classroom door. Lin Tian turned around and saw that Teacher Fang Ming had appeared at the door, holding a Chinese language textbook.

"Is someone looking forward to cleaning the bathrooms?" Teacher Fang Ming looked at Lin Tian with a smirk.

Oh no, Teacher Fang Ming isn’t actually going to punish me to clean the bathrooms, is she? But why is she only staring at me? Lin Tian’s heart sank, and then he felt puzzled.

He turned around and looked around; God, the group that had surrounded him had vanished, each one back at their seat pretending to be engrossed in their books.

What kind of speed is this? I turn around, and everyone’s gone, totally inhumane. Leaving me all alone, I seriously despise you guys, Lin Tian thought about flipping them off but remembered the timing wasn’t right.

Wait a minute, why are there still two people around the table?

"Hehe, Fatty Huang, Chen Herun, it’s good to see you guys didn’t desert me." Lin Tian whispered to Fatty Huang.

"Brother Tian, I wanted to run too, but with my size and you blocking half the passage, I couldn’t get through." Fatty Huang said with a gloomy face and a look of grievance in his eyes.

"Man, what’s with that look, Fatty? I’m a victim too. Look at Chen Herun here, how loyal, staying back to keep us company." Lin Tian commended Chen Herun.

"Brother Tian, it’s not that, I was doing some calculations just now and didn’t notice, so I didn’t run." Chen Herun honestly said.

"Calculations? What are you calculating all of a sudden?" Lin Tian was fed up with this whiz kid.

Chen Herun thought for a moment, then said, "The picture in the newspaper, didn’t it give the length, width, and height of that raw material? I used those dimensions and the shadow of that stone-cutting youth, applying the method of equal lengths to calculate the youth’s height to be the same as yours."

Man, that actually works? The power of knowledge is too strong. Lin Tian knew better than anyone who that youth was, but Chen Herun had nearly uncovered the truth based solely on some data.

"What are you guys chatting about so intently that you didn’t hear what I said?" Teacher Fang Ming suddenly came down, having been ignored by the few.

She picked up the newspaper from the table, and the tabloid star suddenly appeared before all the students.
