Chapter 133 So it was his brother-in-law!
Chapter 133 So it was his brother-in-law!
Boom!
Now, it wasn't just quiet.
Su Ze, Gu Dapeng, and Lin Le felt as if they had been struck by lightning and burned.
The three of them stared at each other, their eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.
"My...my own sister?!"
"That goddess who haunts our dreams... is the third brother's younger sister?!"
After a brief moment of shock.
The three men's expressions changed from "anger" to "even more anger," and then quickly transformed into an extremely comical "flattery."
"Damn it! That sixth brother!"
Su Ze gritted his teeth:
"She didn't even tell us about her own sister! Is she trying to keep us safe from thieves?!"
"No wonder! No wonder he said before that 'this goddess is just average-looking,' turns out it's his sister, he's just tired of looking at her!!"
"This kid's probably afraid we'll steal his sister! Damn siscon!"
But soon, Su Ze changed the subject, his expression becoming incredibly lewd and sincere.
He straightened his hair and held the light sign in his hand even higher:
"but........"
"Since she's my younger sister, our relationship is even closer!"
"This isn't a roommate at all!"
"That's clearly my brother-in-law!"
Gu Dapeng also realized what was happening and chuckled sheepishly:
"Yeah! I was wondering why it looked so familiar!"
"From now on, the third brother is my own brother! I'll be the first to object to anyone who dares to bully my brother-in-law!"
Lin Le pushed up his glasses, already calculating the bride price:
"Although the third brother's 'keeping the good stuff in the family' mentality is narrow-minded, from the perspective of having the advantage of proximity, our chances of winning have increased by 50%. I should be able to get the 20 dowry later!"
"Let's go, let's go!"
Su Ze waved his hand aggressively:
"Enter!"
"When you see the third brother later, no one is allowed to get angry!"
"Everyone must address me with utmost respect—'Hello, brother-in-law!'"
...........
In the shadows backstage.
My phone was vibrating incessantly, like it was having an epileptic seizure.
Jiang Bai secretly took it out and saw that it was full of messages from his roommates tagging him in the group chat, each word filled with anguish and accusations:
Su Ze: "@Jiang Bai Laosan! Explain yourself!"
Su Ze: "Why is your name at the very end of the program schedule?!"
Su Ze: "Didn't you say you were going to perform? How did you end up performing for the goddess's show?"
Lin Le: "You were right next to the goddess, why didn't you tell us?!"
Gu Dapeng: "Third brother, that's not fair! You're eating all by yourself!"
Three people: weeping bitterly.jpg
Jiang Bai stared at the screen, his heart skipped a beat, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.
"We're doomed!"
"How do you explain this?"
He explained that he was temporarily drafted to be a dance partner.
They'll definitely ask, "If you've already met your goddess, why don't you post photos?"
If I keep pretending not to know... then my name is already listed, isn't that treating my roommate like they're blind?
Jiang Bai's finger hovered above the screen, unsure whether to type or not.
Just when his mind went blank and he didn't know how to make up a lie.
Sudden.
The atmosphere in the group chat changed without warning!
One second it was a "three-way trial", the next it turned into a "large-scale family reunion".
Su Ze: "@Jiang Bai Holy crap! Third brother! Old Zhang just came over!"
Su Ze: "I was wrong! I was wrong, buddy!"
Su Ze: "Brother-in-law!!!"
Following suit, two other accounts also flooded the screen with similar posts:
Gu Dapeng: "Brother-in-law! I'm kneeling before you!"
Lin Le: "Brother-in-law, please accept my bow!"
Jiang Bai was stunned for a moment, looking at the screen full of "brother-in-law". His CPU spun a couple of times before he instantly realized what was going on.
"Besides the system, only our counselor, Mr. Zhang, knows about the 'Jiang Baizhi is my sister' setting regarding cross-dressing..."
"Now my roommate knows too..."
"Case solved! It must have been Old Zhang, that big mouth, who bumped into them at the door and casually mentioned it!"
Having figured this out, Jiang Bai's previously anxious heart instantly settled down.
Then a surge of elation, like surviving a catastrophe, rose within him, and he even wanted to kowtow to his counselor, Lao Zhang.
Now that we know, things are much easier!
"Since you all call me brother-in-law, I'll be a fiercely protective brother-in-law from now on!"
"Old Zhang, you're such a great wingman!"
"That's the perfect excuse!"
He was worried about how to explain that he and the "goddess" were on the same program list, but now he doesn't even need to make it up. Old Zhang has already filled in the logical chain for him—the brother is acting as his sister's bodyguard/errand boy/backup dancer backstage. That makes perfect sense, right?
As for why he didn't tell his roommate?
Jiang Bai's lips curled into a cold smile; he had already prepared an excuse in his mind:
"Nonsense! Do you think I'd tell you animals to let my sister walk into the lion's den?"
"I did this to protect my younger sister!"
"Strictly guard against it! We absolutely will not let pigs eat cabbages!"
"This is a brother's deep protective instinct towards his sister! It's very reasonable! Absolutely reasonable!"
"The 'sister-obsessed' persona needs to be established!"
Having figured this out, Jiang Bai decisively put his phone back in his pocket and stopped replying.
Maintaining aloofness and mystery at this time is the best interpretation of the identity of "brother-in-law".
Too much talk leads to mistakes, and it wouldn't be good if my roommates with their magnifying glasses found a flaw in my statement.
however.
Just as the weight was lifted from my heart, another crisis surged forth like a tidal wave.
"Splash—"
The noise outside grew louder and louder.
Jiang Bai secretly lifted a corner of the curtain and looked down at the audience.
The auditorium doors were wide open, and nearly a thousand new students, arranged in class formations, poured in like a tide, quickly filling all the seats.
The sea of heads was so dense it could trigger trypophobia.
What suffocated him the most was—
The seats for Class 6 of the Performing Arts Department were right in the center of the second largest section of the first-tier audience seating!
Although it can't compare to the largest piece of land, the "Emperor's Throne," it's still a "Eunuch's Throne"!
Both are excellent positions that are closest to the stage, offer the best view, and even allow you to see the false eyelashes of the actors on stage!
In that area.
My three roommates, each with an eye-catching bag, were holding up that blindingly bright pink light sign that read "Bai Zhi, Fly Bravely," and they were as excited as if they were on a roller coaster.
Su Ze even took out a professional SLR camera and was adjusting the telephoto lens there!
"Holy crap........"
Jiang Bai felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, his legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to his knees.
"A telephoto lens?"
"At such a close distance, plus the telephoto lens..."
"This isn't a performance, this is biological slide observation!"
"What if I didn't shave my leg hair clean...?"
"What if my clothes are see-through...?"
"What if my wig falls off...?"
"Under those high-definition lenses, every single one of my movements was crystal clear!"
fear.
Boundless fear.
Jiang Bai felt like a prisoner about to be led to the execution ground, while the audience below consisted entirely of forensic doctors holding magnifying glasses.
"No, no... I feel faint..."
"If I faint right now, would it be considered a work-related injury?"
Jiang Bai leaned against the wall, took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed the dizziness with his willpower.
"Don't faint!"
"Fainting would be even more troublesome! If they have to be carried off the bus, and the doctor examines them..."
"Huh? This female patient's body structure seems a bit strange?"
"Oh, so he's a little boy dressed as a girl!"
"Then I can really live on a different planet!"
"Stay calm! I have lucky white stockings! I have a charm halo! I have a system!"
