[Mind reading + lighthearted comedy + mistaken assumptions + one heroine]
Jiang Chen unexpectedly awakens the ability to read minds, but he can only hear the thoughts of the aloof campus beauty, Su Qingge.
He thinks this is the beginning of a sweet romance, only to discover that beneath her icy exterior, the campus beauty is a severe paranoid delusion sufferer?
The campus beauty’s thoughts: The foundation of the school’s clock tower has a box of jewels buried under it by a warlord a hundred years ago. The weight is about to crack the foundation, and the tower will collapse in a few days and crush someone. I have to find a way to deal with it...
Jiang Chen: “Jewels? There’s no saving that delusion. I’ll pry up a brick and take a look. If it’s fake, I’ll mock her in front of the whole school!”
Half an hour later, the municipal cultural relics bureau and an archaeological team cordon off the clock tower and dig a whole box of jadeite, once bestowed by the former dynasty, out of the foundation!
The campus beauty’s thoughts: There are leftover World War II poison gas shells buried under the school athletic field. We have to find a way to deal with them...
Jiang Chen: “Seriously? I’ll dig a couple of shovelfuls and see. If it’s fake, I’ll mock her to her face!”
An hour later, the air-raid sirens sound across campus, and a chemical defense unit drops into the athletic field.
From then on, guided by the campus beauty’s paranoid delusions, Jiang Chen sets out on a path of uncovering the world’s secrets.
Su Qingge: “He must have approached me to protect the world’s secrets! He’s so gentle, I’m crying!”
Everyone else: “Jiang Chen has made his move again. He must be playing some grand game!”
Jiang Chen: “I really wasn’t thinking that hard. I was just a little curious... Also, can I have half that box of jadeite?”
Netizens: “Um... Campus beauty, forget it. If you keep imagining things, he’ll dig right through the Earth!”
