Chapter 331 is available online, urgently!
Dead silence.
A deathly silence that lasted for ten seconds.
Su Ze's old face, which had been full of expectation, suddenly collapsed like a deflated balloon.
He stiffly raised his head and stared at the empty entrance to the women's restroom.
The emptiness caused by the "shattered hope" almost made him burst into tears on the spot.
"Gone? Just like that... gone?"
Gu Dapeng was also dumbfounded.
"I still have lunch plans with Bai Zhi!"
Zhang Cheng was even more devastated, never expecting that he still wouldn't be able to see his junior, Bai Zhi.
"Fate... Is this what Dad meant by 'Don't force things'?"
Zhang Cheng muttered to himself, his eyes filled with the desolation that comes after profound enlightenment.
However, amidst this gloomy and desolate atmosphere...
Lin Le suddenly pushed up his glasses, a glint of wisdom flashing in his eyes:
"Brothers, don't be upset yet."
"Think about it from a different perspective."
The three of them turned to look at Lin Le.
"Although Sister Baizhi has left, she left without saying goodbye to anyone!"
Lin Le calmly analyzed the situation.
"What does this mean?"
"This means that none of the three of us in our dorm, plus this...this designer Zhang, managed to get a date with Bai Zhi for dinner alone!"
Su Ze was taken aback, and his previously dull fox-like eyes instantly lit up with a cunning glint:
"Yeah! I was just worried that if Bai Zhi came out later, you guys would snatch her away."
"Now that's great, nobody got a date, that's what you call 'absolute fairness'!"
Gu Dapeng also realized what was happening, and suddenly grinned widely:
"Hey! Fourth Brother is right!"
"As long as I haven't lost, that's a win!"
"Everyone waited in vain, isn't this the perfect ending?!"
Listening to the logic of these college students, Zhang Cheng inexplicably felt much more at ease.
That's right!
Unless it's a loss to a specific competitor, then it's a draw due to "force majeure".
"Let's go! To the cafeteria!!"
Su Ze suddenly waved his hand, his tone becoming arrogant again:
"Since the goddess is busy, let's go treat her brother-in-law to a meal!"
"The third brother is usually incredibly stingy, but he actually offered to treat us today! We have to eat our fill!"
The four men, who were originally in dire straits, reached a strange reconciliation in that instant.
They walked arm in arm toward the cafeteria with light steps, even humming "Gently Tell You" softly.
.......
The second floor of the Shanghai Theatre Academy's second canteen is busiest during mealtimes.
The sweet aroma of braised pork and the savory flavor of braised prawns, combined with the vibrant hormones of the young students, created a lively and bustling atmosphere in the hall.
"Bai Zhi just sent me a text message; she's going to prepare items for the charity sale this afternoon."
"I left in such a hurry that I didn't even have time to say goodbye."
The group remained silent, only sighing repeatedly.
"Bai Zhi specifically told me this before she left."
Jiang Bai softened his tone.
She said that she felt really bad because her brothers had been working so hard all morning, getting nosebleeds and shielding her from the sun.
"So, she just secretly transferred some money to me as 'food money,' telling me to treat you guys to a good meal as an apology on her behalf."
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere around the group instantly shifted 180 degrees.
"An apology? The goddess actually said she wanted to apologize to us?!"
Gu Dapeng's beady eyes suddenly blazed with an unprecedented light, and even his bulky body trembled with excitement:
"Did you hear that, third brother? Our sister cares about us! She's worried we'll go hungry!"
Su Ze instantly revived, wrapped his arms around Jiang Bai's neck, and beamed with pride.
"Since it's Sister Baizhi's order, we must carry it out properly!"
"Absolutely."
"Hey guys, go all out! Swipe my card today, nobody's leaving until it's maxed out!"
"Braised pork, braised prawns, lion's head meatballs—eat as much as you want, until you're full!"
Jiang Bai patted his meal card with an air of arrogance, his posture resembling that of a low-key rich second-generation who had just inherited billions in assets.
In fact, he knew very well that this "big" treat was a must.
After all, the "Jiang Baizhi" persona had made a hasty escape to the bathroom earlier. In order to cover up the lie and to appease these "rebellious sons" who had been starving all morning and had almost turned into stone statues while guarding the entrance to the women's restroom, this braised pork meal had to be arranged.
"Wow—!! Long live my brother-in-law! Long live Goddess Baizhi!!"
The three sons instantly transformed into wolves, howling as they charged toward the various food serving windows.
With that speed, he could probably win first place in a sprint.
Jiang Bai watched the three people's backs as they walked away, and was just about to breathe a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, a gaze that felt like a thorn in his back made him freeze.
That gaze was filled with inquiry, fervor, and a kind of "adoration" that sent chills down Jiang Bai's spine.
He turned his head instinctively.
A man dressed in a smart suit, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and with his hair perfectly styled, was staring intently at him.
Jiang Bai:? ? ?
Before Jiang Bai could react, Zhang Cheng took a deep breath.
As if she had made some momentous life decision, she walked with extremely solemn steps straight up to Jiang Bai.
Zhang Cheng adjusted his glasses, and under Jiang Bai's gaze, he became somewhat uneasy and nervous.
He bowed sharply, his voice, strained with nervousness, becoming extremely high-pitched and instantly echoing throughout most of the cafeteria.
"Brother-in-law!! Hello!! Nice to meet you, please take care of me!!"
Quiet.
The once bustling second floor of the cafeteria seemed to have been put on pause.
The meat in the ladle of the lady serving the food fell out, and the student in line almost dropped his phone.
Gu Dapeng, who had just grabbed a chicken leg, dropped the meat from his mouth onto the tray with a "plop".
Jiang Bai was completely stunned.
He guessed the person's identity in a second.
Old Zhang's son, Zhang Cheng.
Jiang Bai looked at the twenty-eight-year-old man in front of him, who was almost ten years older than him, with extremely complicated eyes.
He remembered what had happened a few nights ago, outside the classroom.
Old Zhang held his hand, tears streaming down his face, and confessed:
"Jiang Bai, if my unfilial son goes to school, you must avoid him!"
Jiang Bai's mind raced.
He's wearing men's clothing now, and it's a plus size.
Old Zhang told him to avoid Zhang Cheng because he was afraid Zhang Cheng would fall in love with him!
So, should he turn around and leave, or should he punch him out of the second-floor window?
I need help urgently!!
