Emotionally stable, but continuing to go crazy

Wei Zhe'an slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying on the sofa in the lounge, covered with a slightly loose coat, which should have belonged to Xu Wenbin.

He felt a furry and warm touch on the side of his neck. When he turned around, he saw that it was the little guy Seventeen, sleeping soundly against his neck.

Wei Zhe'an sat up quietly, his mind gradually becoming clearer. He looked around, the lounge was empty, and the hands on the wall clock had quietly jumped past three o'clock.

Wei Zhe'an was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he had slept for so long. At this time, the assessment of his roommates should have been over.

He tidied up the messy sofa and looked at the lunch that his roommates had left for him on the coffee table. The food had lost its original temperature and became cold and tasteless. He didn't have much appetite, so he simply took a few bites and put down his chopsticks.

Wei Zhe'an rubbed Shiqi's head lovingly: "Wake up, little lazy cat, you sleep so soundly, do you really think you are a cat?"

Seventeen blinked dazedly and responded in a half-asleep state: "Just treat me as a cat. The system also needs to be charged."

Wei Zhe'an laughed out loud at Shiqi's naivety. He rubbed Shiqi's chin again and said with a smile, "Then go back to sleep. Otherwise, it would be weird for me to walk around holding a ball of air."

Seventeen responded vaguely, turned into a streak of light, and disappeared into the air.

Wei Zhe'an took his coat and came to the place where Xu Wenbin had been waiting for him in the morning, and successfully found his roommates.

"You two, have you completed the assessment successfully?" He greeted them with a relaxed smile.

Xu Wenbin nodded and responded: "Well, Yang Ma and I have finished the exam. Xiao Yi is taking the exam, and Cao Fei was called away for a private interview. We originally planned to go to you together after they finished."

Wei Zhe'an touched his nose a little embarrassedly, handed his coat to Xu Wenbin and said, "Thank you, Brother Bin. I came here by myself when I woke up. I didn't expect that I slept for so long."

Tong Yang looked him up and down and asked with concern: "How do you feel now? Seeing you look so pale this morning, it was really scary."

Wei Zhe'an felt a warm current in his heart and said gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Yang. I was really too nervous at that time. I feel much better after a good sleep."

Tong Yang waved his hand to indicate that you're welcome, then looked around the empty corridors and became serious: "The assessment time for Wen Bin and I has also changed, but it's not as sudden as yours."

"What?" Wei Zhe'an showed a surprised expression.

Tong Yang frowned and said, "It says 2:20 on my registration card, but the actual test time is 10:50. The same goes for Wen Bin. His test time is 11:00, but in Room B. Only Xiao Yi and A Fei's test times are consistent with the registration cards."

Wei Zhe'an frowned and asked, "Did your assessment go well? What's the difference between Room B and Room A?"

Xu Wenbin smiled gently and said comfortingly: "In fact, there are not too many twists and turns. It's just that your assessment came too suddenly, which caught us off guard. We were also mentally prepared for your assessment in advance, so we performed well and successfully avoided relegation."

"The main difference between Room B and Room A is that the grading teachers are different and the live broadcast channels are also different. I heard that there will be no footage of the instructors grading when Room B is broadcast. Other than that, there should be no other differences."

"That's good." Wei Zhe'an breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought it was a trick targeting me, but it seems like it's targeting the all-around class?"

He frowned and fell into deep thought, trying to guess who the beneficiary of this incident was in order to identify possible suspects.

Xu Wenbin put his arm around Tong Yang's shoulder, and the three of them looked at each other, with a serious look in their eyes.

Xu Wenbin asked doubtfully, "If it's targeting the all-round class, then only three of us were 'selected'. The probability of our dormitory seems a bit high?"

Tong Yang analyzed in a deep voice: "I don't think it's necessarily aimed at the all-around class, but more likely at the rankings."

Wei Zhe'an insisted on his hunch: "This incident may be directed at me, and you two may have been implicated by me."

He continued to ask despite the two people's disapproving looks: "Did you change the topic during the assessment? Was it the original topic you reported or did you write it randomly?"

Xu Wenbin understood instantly and replied: "Mine is the topic I applied for, what about you?" Then he turned his gaze to Tong Yang.

Tong Yang also understood what Wei Zhe'an meant and confirmed: "Mine is also the original question. It seems that only your question has been changed."

The three of them couldn't help but frown.

Xu Wenbin gently patted Tong Yang on the shoulder with his hand and made a guess: "Do you remember falling when you handed in your card? Could it be that someone tampered with it at that time?"

Tong Yang recalled the scene at that time: "There were indeed a lot of people at that time, but I was not the only one who fell. And my registration card was in my hand the whole time, and I handed it directly to the staff after I got up. It is unlikely that someone would take action at that time."

Wei Zhe'an thought of the live broadcast process of the program and mentioned: "If someone deliberately filled in our names on their registration card, then they will definitely choose to take the test during our original time period. So, did you notice anyone taking the test during this time period?"

Tong Yang and Xu Wenbin smiled at each other, and Xu Wenbin replied: "In fact, your mother Yang and I have been observing for a while. The expressions of the students who came to the assessment were very natural, and they did not show any abnormalities."

Tong Yang nodded and agreed, "That's true. The one who came at 2:20 was Li Ziqiu from the dance class, the one who came at 2:25 was Lin Muqi from the all-around class, and the one who came at 2:30 was Yu Chi from the all-around class. However, we didn't see Tao Yunshan."

Wei Zhe'an fell into deep thought: "Brother Yang brought back the dormitory registration cards all at once, and the time slots were all next to each other. Tao Yunshan didn't take the test during this time slot. Did he take the initiative to change the time slot with someone else, or was his registration card also tampered with?"

Both of them shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know. After they parted unhappily in the morning, they had not met Tao Yunshan again, so naturally they had no communication.

Wei Zhe'an frowned and asked a question: "I have always wondered about one thing. We submitted the registration card with the information clearly filled in, why didn't the program team check it? If there are two registration cards with the same name, won't they contact the students to confirm?

Tong Yang nodded in agreement: "If it was because of the tight schedule in the morning that there was no time to check all the registration cards, then after you had a problem, the program team should have asked for a check to avoid similar situations from happening again. But Wenbin and I still took the test in advance."

Xu Wenbin took over the conversation: "This is exactly the crux of the problem. The registration cards of the three of us have disappeared."

Wei Zhe'an showed a shocked expression: "Gone? Have you confirmed it with the staff?"

Xu Wenbin explained: "I guess so. I met Brother He after the assessment. He asked where we handed in our registration cards and checked with the staff. There were no duplicate names. In other words, the card that Yangyang handed in is not in the hands of the program team now."

This situation is indeed puzzling. Tong Yang submitted the registration cards of all five people together. Since there is no problem with the test time of Cao Fei and Zhou Hongyi, it means that the registration cards were indeed handed over to the program team. Then, their test time was changed. Did the program team also participate?
