Chapter 330 Goddess Bai Zhi Invites Me to Dinner?
Shanghai Theatre Academy, Second Canteen.
The midday sun streamed through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows onto the tiled floor, and the air was filled with the rich aroma of food.
Jiang Bai, dressed casually with his baseball cap pulled low, was standing in front of the braised pork window, his eyes gleaming with a green light that could almost melt the stainless steel dish.
"Auntie, three servings of braised pork belly, two servings of lion's head meatballs, and one dish of braised prawns in oil, plus two bowls of rice, make sure it's packed tightly!"
The lady serving the vegetables trembled and instinctively tried to use her "Parkinson's technique" to flip two pieces of meat.
As a result, he met Jiang Bai's eyes, which appeared extremely sharp due to extreme hunger.
For some inexplicable reason, he felt a chill and insisted on giving Jiang Bai two more pieces of the essence, which were a mix of fat and lean meat.
After serving the rice.
Jiang Bai had just found a secluded corner and sat down, his bottom barely warm, when a familiar voice, laced with a strong sense of teasing, rang in his ear:
"Hey, Jiang Bai, this food is pretty good... Are you planning to make up for a week's worth of fat in one meal?"
Jiang Bai looked up.
Old Zhang was carrying a plate of light stir-fry, with his smiling wife beside him. The elderly couple were staring mischievously at the mountain of braised pork piled on his tray.
"Teacher Zhang... Teacher Zhang's wife."
Jiang Bai awkwardly swallowed the lion's head meatball in his mouth and cleared his throat.
"Well, I had a lot of work this morning, so I'm a bit hungry."
Old Zhang slowly sat down opposite Jiang Bai, glanced at Jiang Bai's still slightly damp mouth, then at that handsome yet incredibly voracious face, and turned to his wife beside him, saying:
"Wife, look."
"I knew it. This kid fooled those idiots and ran off to find some peace and quiet here."
"What do you mean by 'urgently needing to pee and going to the toilet'? I think he's 'leveling up like crazy at the braised pork window' instead."
My wife chuckled, her eyes filled with that knowing, all-knowing kindness.
"Jiang Bai has it tough. He plays two roles all morning and is surrounded by those boys. I would have eaten three bowls of rice to calm my nerves if I were him."
Jiang Bai chewed on the braised pork in his mouth, somewhat stunned.
"What do you mean, 'I need to pee urgently'..."
"It's what you just said."
Old Zhang's expression suddenly turned strange. He moved closer to Jiang Bai, his tone revealing a hint of schadenfreude:
"I just passed by our class's stall and saw Su Ze and his few guys standing guard under the awning like a row of posts."
Jiang Bai paused, his chopsticks still in his hand.
"They...haven't left yet?"
"Walk?"
Old Zhang smiled, his eyes filled with the sighs of an old father for his unfilial son.
"Not only did they not leave, but they also joined us with my son."
"Su Ze said you went to the bathroom and haven't come back yet, so my son is waiting there."
"Several people were glaring at each other, none of them willing to take the first step, afraid of missing a single glimpse of the goddess."
Cough cough...
Old Zhang's son was also waiting for me there?
Jiang Bai glanced hesitantly at the cafeteria entrance:
"Well... should we call them over to eat with us? I'm worried they might get low blood sugar if we wait any longer."
"No need to call."
Old Zhang slammed his hand on the table, his eyes widening. "Let that unfilial son of his stand there and let him catch a whiff of the wind! Let him wake up!"
"Wasn't he going to wait? Wasn't he going to Thailand for love?"
"Today I'll show him what 'love that can't be waited for' really means!"
Old Zhang's wife covered her mouth and laughed:
"Look at you, you're such a terrible father."
"But Jiang Bai, why don't you send a message to Su Ze and the others, and invite them over for dinner?"
Jiang Bai shrugged:
"Master's wife, you don't understand Su Ze and the others."
"If I texted him right now saying I was showing off my braised pork in the cafeteria, he would immediately ask me where Bai Zhi was eating."
"I plan to tell them later."
"......"
While Jiang Bai and Lao Zhang were eating and chatting...
At this moment, in front of the charity sale stall of Class 6, Acting Department.
The autumn wind was bleak, swirling up a few withered yellow leaves that landed on Su Ze's shiny leather shoes and then slid down Gu Dapeng's slightly trembling tiger-skin vest.
Under the shade of the pavilion, the atmosphere had gradually shifted from initial fervor to a desolate "Waiting-for-Wife Stone" exhibition scene.
Su Ze, Gu Dapeng, Lin Le, plus Zhang Cheng, who looked a little unsteady from standing for too long.
The four people were arranged in a fan shape, their eyes fixed on the only way to the exit of the women's restroom.
"Su... Su Ze, right?"
Zhang Cheng's voice was somewhat weak, yet it conveyed a sense of determination.
"Junior Sister Bai Zhi...you've been inside for about half an hour, haven't you?"
"It looks like they didn't just go to the toilet; they probably touched up their makeup or something in there."
"Are all girls this slow at touching up their makeup?"
Su Ze was leaning against the cardboard cutout, drinking water in large gulps as he replied:
"Is that a fairy touching up her makeup? That's a resurrection of her golden body!"
"Exquisite craftsmanship requires time to refine."
"Bai Zhi must have been startled by the crowd just now, and she's calming down inside by herself right now."
Zhang Cheng nodded and adjusted his glasses:
"That's right, great works of art are often born during the longest wait."
"I believe in Miss Bai Zhi. She's worth my lifelong devotion, let alone just thirty minutes!"
Just as these "stone statues" were about to be physically hardened by the autumn wind.
"Ding-dong!"
A series of urgent WeChat notification sounds were particularly jarring under the shade of the canopy.
Su Ze's hand trembled violently, almost dropping his phone. He stared wide-eyed at the screen, as if he'd been injected with ten liters of chicken blood, and jumped up with a roar:
"Holy crap!! The third brother sent a message!!"
"What?!"
Gu Dapeng didn't even bother to drink water, and Lin Le immediately pressed the power button on the camera.
The three people, plus Zhang Cheng who joined them, instantly piled their heads together like a skewer of candied hawthorns, staring intently at the screen, which was less than seven inches in size.
"My sister is treating you all to a meal at the cafeteria!"
Gu Dapeng only caught those three words, and he immediately became so excited that he spun around on the spot and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"My goodness, Bai Zhi is actually inviting us to lunch at the cafeteria!!"
Zhang Cheng's breathing also became heavy.
He had even started planning in his mind which angle to use to showcase his profile as a designer when he sat opposite Miss Baizhi later.
However.......
As Su Ze slid his trembling finger down to read the entire passage, the temperature in the entire shaded area instantly dropped to minus eighty degrees Celsius.
On the screen, Jiang Baifa displayed an extremely concise statement:
Jiang Bai: [@All members, please don't wait any longer. My sister had something to do and left first. She left in a hurry and didn't want to disturb everyone, so she asked me to apologize to everyone on her behalf.]
Jiang Bai: [By the way, to make up for your hard work this morning, I'm treating you guys to lunch. Come to the second floor of the cafeteria right away! Dad's waiting for you here!]
