Chapter 301 A Plan Already in Place
Chapter 301 A Plan Already in Place
The next morning, before the sunlight of Shanghai had even shone into room 404, Jiang Bai was awakened by an extremely strong sense of oppression.
He opened his eyes groggily and was so frightened that he almost fell off the top bunk.
There stood Su Ze, Gu Dapeng, and Lin Le, these three beasts, lined up neatly by the bed, their six eyes fixed on his face like radar.
His eyes were filled with judgment, suspicion, and a hint of "you're dead meat."
"Third brother, are you awake?"
Su Ze spoke in a sinister tone, still waving his phone in his hand.
"Is the sea breeze pleasant in the Maldives? Are the beaches in Hawaii too hot to walk on?"
Jiang Bai's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, he had been discovered!
These guys may not be very smart, but they haven't completely become disabled yet.
Last night, when his face was revealed on "The Masked Singer," his "real face" was definitely shown on Jiangsu TV. How could he possibly still be snorkeling in the Maldives?
However, Jiang Bai was not intimidated.
He had long anticipated this moment and was already prepared to deal with it!
Jiang Bai took a deep breath, instantly adopting an expression of righteous indignation, even with a hint of grievance, and calmly sat up:
"What are you looking at? I was just putting out a smokescreen to protect Bai Zhi's privacy! Don't you know how crazy the paparazzi in Jiangnan Province are?"
Su Ze snorted coldly:
"A smokescreen? Then how do you explain that photo of a row of pigs you posted earlier, claiming it was us?"
Jiang Bai remained expressionless, let out a long sigh, and activated his [Advanced Acting Skills], his tone becoming extremely deep:
"Actually... when I was chatting with you guys, my sister Jiang Baizhi was also there."
"We talked a lot about school, especially... about you guys."
"Talking about us?!"
The three people who were just moments ago exuding murderous intent instantly transformed from a "mafia interrogation" to a "kindergarteners lining up for fruit" state after hearing the keywords "Jiang Baizhi" and "us".
Su Ze swallowed hard, his earlier accusatory tone vanishing instantly, and he nervously leaned closer.
"Bai Zhi... what did Bai Zhi talk about me about?"
Jiang Bai chuckled to himself; the fish had taken the bait!
He suppressed a laugh, adopted the air of a "brother-in-law," and said mysteriously:
"Bai Zhi told me that she had actually been paying attention to my dormitory life."
"She said that although Su Ze usually seems carefree, he is actually very thoughtful and has a 'dandy' look. He is a very charming boy."
Su Ze froze after hearing this.
His eyes were glazed over, and his facial muscles began to twitch wildly. After a long while, he finally managed to utter a sentence:
"Elegant...dandy? My goddess calls me an elegant dandy?"
"Holy crap! I'm going to iron that suit right now!!"
Jiang Bai then turned to look at Gu Dapeng, his eyes filled with loving "I have high hopes for you":
Bai Zhi also said that although Brother Dapeng doesn't talk much, his down-to-earth nature as a Northeasterner makes people feel very safe. He is a tough guy who can be entrusted with important tasks.
Gu Dapeng's usually dark red face now showed a hint of shyness.
He slammed his fist on his chest, the sound deafening:
"Entrust! It must be entrusted!"
"From now on, brother-in-law, your problems are my life!"
"If anyone dares to lay a finger on you, I'll smash their head in with a shot put!"
Finally, Jiang Bai looked at Lin Le, his tone gentle:
Bai Zhi praised Lin Le as the "intelligence expert" of our dormitory, saying that the kind of guy who can excel in both academics and gaming is the most attractive to an artsy girl like her.
Lin Le pushed up his glasses. Although he didn't say anything, the corners of his mouth, which were turned up so wide they almost reached behind his ears.
[Ding! Host, you've really mastered the art of "remote gratitude."]
Not only did you clear your name of the lie, you also inadvertently created a "die-hard fanatic" mentality in your three roommates.
[This system thinks that even if you transform yourself in public in your dorm room, they'll probably cover for you.]
"Brother-in-law!"
Su Ze grabbed Jiang Bai's hand, his eyes filled with the fervent desire of someone who would "never again hold court in the morning."
"We were ignorant before; we even suspected you of protecting Jiang Baizhi and wouldn't let us have any contact with her!"
"From now on, you are my biological brother-in-law!"
"I'll cover your meals at the cafeteria, and I'll wash your smelly socks while I'm at it!"
"I just hope that when Bai Zhi comes to school for the sports meet, she can interact with us more!!"
Gu Dapeng nodded vigorously:
"That's right! Third brother, from now on, if there's any heavy work, just ask us brothers to do it!"
"We, 404, are born members of the Jiang family, and we'll die members of the Jiang family!"
Jiang Bai looked at his three roommates, who were practically on the verge of ascending to immortality from his wits, and smiled slightly as he continued his act.
"Good brother, really a good brother!"
"To reward your progress, I've just decided that Bai Zhi will personally take a group photo with you all on the day of the school sports meet!"
"oh--!!!"
Cheers erupted in the dormitory.
However, after the revelry, Gu Dapeng suddenly seemed to remember something, scratched his head, and looked at Jiang Bai with a serious expression:
"By the way, brother-in-law."
"Although Bai Zhi praised me as a tough guy, I still have to ask... is that trending topic online real?"
"Are you really going to throw her eighteen meters away on the 13th?"
"Throw it 18 meters?!"
Jiang Bai's eye twitched violently.
He knew it! He was definitely not going to get past this "shot put hurdle"!
Jiang Bai looked at Gu Dapeng's serious eyes, his lips twitching as he explained:
"That's a complete rumor! It was for charity! Bai Zhi was going to perform on stage, not to be a shot putter! That's just what netizens made up!"
Gu Dapeng wiped his face, but didn't believe it. Instead, he looked at Jiang Bai with admiration.
"Brother-in-law, don't explain anymore."
"Although we're all reluctant to see Bai Zhi fly that far, if you can really throw her eighteen meters without hurting her, it means your strength has reached an extraordinary level!"
"When the time comes, I'll organize our Angelica fan club to order an inflatable crash mat, so you can throw it away without worry!"
Jiang Bai: "......"
Su Ze echoed:
"Yes, third brother, my dad just called too."
"He said he trusts your strength, but he told you to be careful of the wind direction when you throw it, so you don't throw Bai Zhi into the river outside the school..."
Jiang Bai closed his eyes, feeling a buzzing in his head.
"Go, go, go! Get to class now!"
