Chapter 132 Discovering the Program List, Jiang Bai Who Was Trying to Eat Alone?
At the same time.
Downstairs in the teachers' apartment building.
Counselor Zhang changed into a suit that he usually wouldn't wear. Although it was a bit tight, it was formal enough.
The woman holding his arm was his wife, who had specially put on light makeup.
"Old Zhang, you're really not lying to me?"
As his wife walked, she remained somewhat suspicious.
"Is that girl on TV who sings so incredibly well really the younger sister of one of your students?"
"And they'll be performing tonight?"
Old Zhang puffed out his chest, his face beaming with pride:
"Of course it's true!!"
"Let me tell you, this is the class I'm in charge of!"
"That Jiang Bai, he usually seems quiet and reserved, but I never expected him to be such a hidden talent with such a wonderful younger sister."
"You haven't heard it live!"
Old Zhang boasted with spittle flying everywhere:
"That day during rehearsal, the moment Jiang Baizhi stood on the stage and opened her mouth!"
"Good heavens! The whole audience was stunned!"
"That voice was ten times sweeter than on TV! And that typhoon was incredibly stable!"
"You know Department Head Yan, right? He's known for his stern face, but after watching the performance that day, he was all smiles, praising it nonstop!"
Old Zhang became more and more excited as he spoke:
"And tonight's show is the grand finale! The grand finale, you know? It's the best of the show!"
"You must listen carefully later!"
"This is a promising talent we've seen that's going to be a hit!"
The wife looked on expectantly after hearing what Lao Zhang said:
"Okay, okay, I brought my phone. I'll record a few more videos for her later and post them on WeChat Moments to show off!"
Mr. and Mrs. Zhang walked hand in hand, mingling in the crowd heading to the auditorium.
..........
5:10.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the steps in front of the auditorium, casting long shadows.
Squad leader Chen Jie stood at the very front of the line, holding the roll call list in his hand, his voice hoarse from shouting:
"Class 6 of Performing Arts! All of you, move over here! Don't run around! Stand in order of height!"
The entrance to the auditorium was a sea of people. Classes from various departments held up signs, like different colored puzzle pieces, completely blocking the entrance.
Amidst this commotion, the trio in room 404 seemed out of place... or rather, exceptionally flamboyant.
Su Ze was holding up a huge pink LED sign with the words "Bai Zhi, Fly Bravely" flashing brightly enough to blind anyone.
Gu Dapeng and Lin Le were not to be outdone, each holding up half a banner.
Among a group of freshmen dressed in casual clothes, this outfit was like a firefly in the dark or a beetle in the field; it was hard not to notice it.
"Hey buddy! What a coincidence!"
Just as Su Ze was fiddling with the light board, a few people suddenly gathered around him.
They were the same freshmen from the next class I met at the grilled fish restaurant yesterday.
They were also holding similar support items, though simpler, drawn on cardboard, but they still read "Goddess, look at me!"
"Oh! It's you guys!"
Su Ze felt as if he had met a long-lost relative. The two groups quickly met and exchanged glances of camaraderie.
"Is this our first gathering of the 'Angelica Guard'?" the boy at the grilled fish restaurant said excitedly.
"That's right!" Su Ze said smugly. "We'll find a chance to sit together later; the scene will definitely be spectacular!"
"Oh, right!"
The boy pointed to a huge iron display board standing at the entrance of the auditorium:
"The official performance list for tonight is posted over there! I just came back from looking at it, and our goddess's performance is the second to last! The grand finale!"
"The grand finale?!"
Su Ze's eyes lit up:
"Let's go! Let's go see! I'm going to take a picture of my goddess's name and post it on my WeChat Moments!"
The group squeezed through the crowd and arrived in front of the display board.
Su Ze tilted his head back, his eyes searching eagerly.
"Found it! The 18th one!"
"Original song and dance performance 'Love You'!"
Performer: Jiang Baizhi........
Upon seeing these three words, Su Ze looked utterly delighted:
"Look at this! That's the prestige! The name's placed first! Definitely the center position!"
Lin Le pushed up his glasses, his gaze sweeping across the list of names:
"Su Xiaoxiao, Wang Qiang, Li Gang, Zhao Lei........"
"These must be backup dancers, right? Their names are so ordinary."
Sudden.
Lin Le's voice trailed off.
His finger froze in mid-air, pointing to the last corner of the list.
"Holy crap?!"
Lin Le let out a startled exclamation, his tone changing completely:
"Look at this last name!"
Su Ze and Gu Dapeng looked in the direction the finger was pointing.
At the end of that list of backup dancers, there were two small but incredibly familiar words—
【Jiang Bai】.
The air suddenly fell silent.
The 404 trio were dumbfounded.
"Jiang... Jiang Bai?"
Gu Dapeng rubbed his eyes, unable to believe it:
"Is it our roommate, the third oldest?"
"Who else could it be but him?!"
Su Ze instantly bristled, his light stick trembling:
"Good! That traitor!"
"He said he'd come to the auditorium to participate in a program?"
"Participate in what kind of show?!"
"He's actually on the show with the goddess! And he's going to perform on stage with her!"
An anger called "betrayal" surged up instantly.
It's like everyone agreeing to be simps together, but when you look back, you're actually sitting in the passenger seat of the goddess!
"That's so disloyal!"
"They didn't even tell us they were with their goddess!"
"We treated him like a brother! And he ate all that food by himself!"
Su Ze was so angry that he took out his phone, opened the WeChat group, and started tagging Jiang Bai like crazy:
Su Ze: "@Jiang Bai, come out and face your death! Is this what you call putting on a show?!"
Su Ze: "I thought you were acting in something else! Explain yourself! Why is your name on the goddess's program list?!"
Su Ze: "Where are you?! Are you backstage getting cozy with the goddess?!"
Just as the trio, filled with righteous indignation, were about to storm into the auditorium and drag Jiang Bai out for severe torture.
"What are you all shouting about here?"
A majestic voice came from behind.
The three of them turned around and looked.
Counselor Zhang was walking over with his wife, arm in arm, all smiles.
"Teacher Zhang!"
Su Ze, as if seeing a savior, pointed at the display board and complained:
"Teacher, look! Jiang Bai is up to no good!"
"He lied to us saying he was there to work, but he secretly went to act in a show with his crush!"
"It's that Jiang Baizhi!"
Old Zhang looked at the three excited students, chuckled, and put on a profound expression that said, "You guys don't know this, do you?"
"Oh, that's what it is."
"I know."
"Didn't Jiang Bai tell you?"
Old Zhang pointed to "Jiang Baizhi" on the list, then to "Jiang Bai" after it, and casually dropped a bombshell:
"It's normal for them to be on the same show."
"Because of this Angelica dahurica..."
"She's Jiang Bai's younger sister! They're family!"
