128 Invitation from the Counselor
After finishing the hot pot lunch, the first thing Wang Heng did upon returning to school was to go back to the dormitory to find the hamster.
However, this time, before he could pick up the cage and go to the rooftop, the counselor arrived first.
According to the school rules, pets were not allowed in the dormitory. Although almost no one checked seriously, it was obviously not good to show off the cat and mouse in the dormitory in front of the counselor.
To avoid exposing the two little pets, before opening the door, Tang Hexing hurriedly hugged his little white cat and shrank onto the bed, covering the cat and his lower body with the quilt, pretending to be engrossed in playing with his phone. Wang Heng hid the hamster cage under the desk and blocked it with a chair.
So when the counselor came in, he didn’t see anything unusual. Fu Hanwen was playing on the computer, Tang Hexing was playing on his phone, Wang Ke was reading manga, and as for Wang Heng… Wang Heng opened the door and was standing in front of it to welcome the counselor.
“Hello, Teacher Liu. Is something wrong?” Wang Heng asked with a smile.
Teacher Liu put his hands behind his back, swept his gaze around, and stopped on the student in front of him. “I’m looking for you for something. Recently, our school and NetEase will have a research activity, starting after the final exams. The main force of this research should be graduate students, but to be closer to young students, some undergraduates will also be recruited to participate.”
Wang Heng understood a little. “You mean, you hope I will participate?”
Teacher Liu nodded. “It should be a good opportunity for you. In principle, the undergraduates they recruit are mainly sophomores and juniors. Freshmen may not meet the standards in terms of ability. But Student Wang Heng, you are different. You have interned at Penguin Company. After I mentioned this, they were very interested and hoped you could participate. So I came to ask if you are interested…”
NetEase was also a top giant in the domestic internet industry. Although not as huge as Penguin Company, it was not to be underestimated. Participating in research hosted by such a company seemed quite interesting?
And the people at NetEase were also interesting. Hearing that a student had interned at Penguin, they immediately issued an invitation through the counselor—this operation showed quite keen awareness.
After a little thought, Wang Heng nodded in agreement. “No problem, but I have a question. How long will this research take? Will it take up the Spring Festival?”
Teacher Liu replied, “That won’t happen. Our school’s final exams are relatively early. The research will start after the exams, and it should be halfway through by the time the winter vacation officially starts. They said it should be finished before the Spring Festival. Anyway, it definitely won’t delay everyone going home for the New Year.”
“Okay, then I have no problem.”
After getting a satisfactory answer, Teacher Liu scanned the room again. Only when he saw Tang Hexing did he frown slightly.
Then Teacher Liu left.
After the dormitory door closed, Fu Hanwen suddenly stood up, jumped to Tang Hexing’s bed in two steps, and lifted his quilt.
Thus, the posture of Tang Hexing and his kitten at this moment was revealed to the roommates—the little white cat was curled up between his legs, squinting, looking like it was enjoying itself. And Tang Hexing held his phone in his right hand, while his left hand was still petting the cat.
Fu Hanwen couldn’t help but complain, “I was watching you before Old Liu left just now. Holy crap! You held your phone in your right hand, and your left hand was moving back and forth under the quilt. Do you know… how misleading that posture was! Old Liu must have thought you were entertaining yourself!”
“Entertaining myself?” Tang Hexing looked innocent. “But I was clearly petting the cat.”
“Alright, Little Tang, we understand you,” Wang Heng sighed. “You’re not petting a cat, you’re petting loneliness.”
Tang Hexing: “…”
Wang Heng took the hamster cage out from under the desk and walked out of the dormitory.
Fu Hanwen couldn’t help but ask, “Are you walking the hamster again?”
“Yeah, this little thing needs to get some fresh air often, otherwise it will get depression.”
After saying this, Wang Heng carried the cage out of the dormitory.
Fu Hanwen looked at Tang Hexing again and saw the little cat twisting its body and rubbing against his thigh, as if it were… acting coquettishly? And Tang Hexing looked down at the cat with indescribable tenderness in his eyes.
Fu Hanwen looked at Wang Ke again. He saw this handsome roommate holding a paper manga book, emitting a wretched “hehehe” laugh. The cover of the manga book was a very cute 2D little girl image, with three big characters in the title—Ro-Kyu-Bu!.(Japanese light novel)
“Aiya, it’s really great…” Wang Ke sighed, feeling the harmony of the world amidst the overwhelming moe points.
Fu Hanwen held his head and lay on the keyboard. “Holy shit, what kind of people are in this room? Am I the only normal one!”

Arriving on the rooftop, Wang Heng placed the cage on the ground. Before he could open the cage door, the small door was impatiently lifted by the hamster.
Then, the hamster rushed out of the cage, ran around happily on the rooftop, and then returned to Wang Heng, climbing onto the railing and sitting down. During this process, Wang Heng put his hands in his pockets and silently watched it vent.
When the hamster finally stopped, he said, “I suddenly feel that I should have filmed you with my phone just now. Maybe it would go viral online.”
“It’s one thing to blame me randomly, but are you finally going to start persecution without reason?” The little hamster immediately became alert.
Wang Heng waved his hand. “Alright, no joking, let’s talk business. There shouldn’t be any danger with these two things today, right?”
The hamster: “Two things? What are you talking about?”
Wang Heng held up two fingers. “First, using Han Yixuan as a shield this weekend to deal with Pei Ningle. Second, the research activity of NetEase.”
The hamster asked back, “What danger do you think there could be?”
Wang Heng thought for a moment and probed, “Han Yixuan shouldn’t take this opportunity to make any dangerous moves, right?”
The hamster looked up at the sky and thought for a while, then looked at him and said in a very certain tone, “Han Yixuan has a sense of propriety. She won’t pester you endlessly.”
Wang Heng asked again, “Then, what about NetEase?”
The hamster asked back, “It’s just a research activity. What danger do you think there could be?”
Looking at it this way, there should be no problem… but he still had to give a preventive shot.
Wang Heng: “Let me say this first. If I find anything wrong with these two things, I’ll buy you a little skirt. At that time, a cross-dressing hamster will definitely become popular online.”
The hamster was instantly shocked. “How can you be so vicious!”
Wang Heng: “It’s just an avatar. Does Mr. Administrator care so much?”
The hamster: “My consciousness is living in it now. Administrators have dignity too, okay!”
“That’s good,” Wang Heng sneered. “You just need to know that if the owner is uncomfortable, the little pet will definitely not be comfortable either.”
The hamster slapped the railing angrily, filled with righteous indignation. “Demon!”
