Chapter 310 The Excited Crowd
October 13th, Friday.
At seven o'clock in the morning, while the rest of Shanghai was still waking up, room 404 of the Shanghai Theatre Academy felt as if a stun grenade had been thrown into it.
"Third brother! Wake up!"
"Brother-in-law! The sun's shining on Baizhi's eyelashes! How can you still be sleeping?!"
Before Jiang Bai even opened his eyes, he felt his bed being subjected to some kind of high-frequency physical vibration.
Su Ze's signature voice, now overly excited, produced a sharp, crowing quality, like that of a rooster.
Jiang Bai groggily poked his head out from under the covers and yawned sleepily.
Before I could even see who they were, the sight of these three guys jolted me halfway to my senses.
"Holy crap... Are you guys going to Paris Fashion Week, or are you planning to storm the execution ground?"
All I could see was Su Ze constantly rummaging through the tufts of short hair on his head.
She even wore a fitted suit, something she never did before.
With two buttons undone on his shirt, he exuded a flamboyant air of "elegance even while sitting on the playground!"
"What do you mean by 'rescue from the execution ground'? Are you trying to rescue Bai Zhi?"
"Today is the day Bai Zhi is making a surprise appearance! We, 404, must be at our best!"
Gu Dapeng, on the other hand, went to the other extreme.
He was wearing a vest with a "Siberian tiger skin" that had been sent from his hometown, and his muscular physique was so prominently displayed that it seemed about to burst out.
At that moment, he was frantically applying antiperspirant in front of the mirror, shouting excitedly.
"Third brother, look! My muscles are in amazing shape today. I'm sure I'll leave Bai Zhi with a first impression of being a 'reliable tough guy'!"
As for Lin Le, he had three DSLR cameras with different focal lengths hanging around his neck, and he was also tightly clutching a drone remote control in his hand. He pushed up his thick glasses and said in a deep voice:
"Third brother, I've already adjusted the filter to be the best for shooting 'goddess-like beauty'."
"Today, I'm going to make the campus network only have the legend of Sister Baizhi."
Oh my god.
He finally saw what excitement looked like from a troop of monkeys!
While Jiang Bai was stunned, Su Ze grabbed the corner of Jiang Bai's blanket, his eyes burning with fervor.
"Third brother, tell me quickly! When will Bai Zhi arrive? At the school gate or the back gate?"
"We need to go pick up the bride early... I mean, to welcome the emperor!"
Jiang Bai slapped his hand away speechlessly and rolled her eyes:
"What's the rush? It's only seven o'clock, bro."
"The school sports meet opening ceremony doesn't start until 8:30."
"According to the procedure, the whole school has to first march in formation and then listen to the principal spout nonsense."
"Family members will gradually enter the venue after the opening ceremony is completely over."
Even if she arrives now, she'll have to wait at the door for the cold wind to blow on her.
Jiang Bai paused, his tone carrying a hint of "I'm helpless too" in his perfunctory manner:
"And some family members might not come until tomorrow or the day after."
"Who are you all trying to impress by striking those poses so early in the morning? Are you trying to impress Old Zhang?"
Upon hearing that "they won't arrive for the next few days," the three roommates' faces instantly fell, faster than the system calculated popularity points.
"What?! The next few days?!"
Gu Dapeng was so anxious he almost tore his vest off.
"Brother-in-law, don't scare me!"
"This tiger-skin vest of mine doesn't have a long shelf life. If Bai Zhi isn't here until the day after tomorrow, my body odor will scare her away!"
Su Ze panicked and grabbed Jiang Bai's shoulders, shaking him frantically.
"Third brother! Give me a straight answer! What day is it for Bai Zhi?"
"Is it because you didn't reimburse her for her taxi fare? I'll call my dad right now and have him send someone to pick her up!"
Jiang Bai's head throbbed from the shaking, and he sighed.
If I don't show up today, I won't have time to complete the one million charity sale and get the god-level reward on the last day.
"Alright, alright, stop shaking."
Jiang Bai put on an expression that said, "I can't stand you guys."
"She'll be here today."
"She said she wanted to see how her brother 'dominates' the field, and also wanted to stay at our class's charity sale booth for a few more days to support charities in mountainous areas. Are you satisfied now?"
boom!
A cheer erupted from room 404, loud enough to shatter the motion-activated lights.
"Come today! Come today!!"
Su Ze started spinning around the dormitory like a madman, slapping Jiang Bai's clothes on him as he went:
"Third brother, what are you still doing lying in bed? Hurry up and put on your clothes!"
"Hurry up and march in formation! Hurry up and let the principal finish his nonsense!"
"As soon as the opening ceremony ends, we'll be able to see the living goddess!!"
Gu Dapeng rushed up and grabbed Jiang Bai's clothes, shoving them into his arms.
"Brother-in-law, I'm begging you, please run faster when we're marching in formation later!"
"Ideally, I could do a backflip as I pass the podium, so the principal will quickly announce 'The competition begins!'"
Jiang Bai: "......"
Resistance was futile; his roommates continued to pull at his blankets and shake his bed.
Jiang Bai's eyes twitched. Helpless, he could only nimbly climb out of bed, grab his clothes, and slip into the bathroom.
The moment he locked the door, he heard Su Ze outside frantically practicing the "Welcome Bai Zhi" chant, and he felt utterly helpless.
"Tongzi, did you see that?"
"The opening ceremony hasn't even started yet, and I'm already practically being led to the execution ground."
.......
The teachers' apartment, Old Zhang's house.
The morning sunlight peeked through the gaps in the curtains into the room. It should have been a time to enjoy the tranquility of the morning, but instead, a strong scent of cologne wafted from Old Zhang's house.
In the bathroom, Zhang Cheng was frantically fidgeting in front of the mirror.
This 28-year-old elite architect was just like a high school student on his first date.
One moment he'd be using hair wax to comb his hair so slicked back that even a fly would slip on it, and the next he'd be using a razor to repeatedly rub the stubble on his chin.
"Is this silk shirt too formal?"
"Should I change into something more casual, to make me seem more approachable?"
Zhang Cheng muttered to himself as he went to the bedroom and pulled out a fifth piece of clothing.
In the living room, Old Zhang, who was already dressed neatly, looked at his son's "showy" appearance and his old face was as bitter as if he had eaten three pounds of bitter herbs.
"Zhang Cheng, that's enough!"
Old Zhang roared in anguish.
"Are you a peacock migrating from its home?"
"Look at this room! The cologne is practically making my red arowana's eyes roll back in its head!"
Is this still the same son who only knows how to draw blueprints all day long and is as calm as a compass?
I just got back from a "business trip" to Thailand yesterday, and I hadn't even unpacked my suitcase yet. I got up at four o'clock this morning to take a shower.
Anyone who didn't know better would think he was going to participate in some international architecture competition.
Who would have thought that this guy went to school to see a "cross-dressing" monster?
