Chapter 350 The Goddess's Longing
"Third brother, look!"
Su Ze noticed Jiang Bai's gaze, abruptly looked up, his bloodshot eyes filled with smugness and deep affection:
"See this? These are the blind boxes your sister personally delivered to us brothers today!"
"What's this called? This is called—'The Goddess's Longing'!"
Gu Dapeng hugged the cloth bag tightly, his thick chest muscles squeezing the bag into a slight deformity. He added with a simple and honest expression:
"That's right! When Bai Zhi took these three bags out of the box, her eyes were full of tenderness, like she was saying, 'Even though my brother isn't here, I still treat you like my own brothers.'"
"Third brother, you're so busy you're rarely seen, but your little sister Baizhi is always thinking about us in room 404!"
Lin Le pushed up his glasses, which had slipped down to the tip of his nose, and spoke in an extremely solemn tone:
"Every fiber in this blind box carries the deep affection that junior Bai Zhi has for our dormitory."
"It's far more important than the brotherhood you showed us!"
Jiang Bai: "......"
Jiang Bai stared at the three ordinary charity sale bags, feeling so embarrassed he almost wanted to tear the Forbidden City out of his skin.
"Thinking of you? Deep affection? Sincere intentions?!"
"That's because this morning I saw that big bunch of dark-skinned PE students trying to overturn the stall, and I was afraid you three would spend the whole morning carrying bricks and end up with nothing, so I just shoved it at you in the chaos, okay?!"
What he was thinking at the time was:
Take it away, take it away, don't get in the way here, so I don't have to listen to your mourning when I get back to the dorm.
How did it get to this point?
The free gift I casually tossed away became a love token that transcends time and space?!
But he maintained that sour expression of "I'm so envious but I can't say it," and cleared his throat, saying:
"Cough...Really? She actually left some for you?"
"Tsk, I'm so busy as the older brother. I didn't even get a single poster fragment all day."
"That's completely different!"
Su Ze looked at Jiang Bai with a sympathetic expression, but his tone was full of boasting.
"Brother-in-law, I'm not trying to be mean, but..."
"You were working like a dog in the Literature and Art Department today, which is commendable, but you really missed the most glorious moment of our Bai Zhi's life!"
"that is!"
Gu Dapeng slapped his thigh and began to talk animatedly about what happened that afternoon:
"Third brother, you have no idea how 'sacred' Bai Zhi looks when she's writing in the afternoon!"
"It was quite hot on the playground at the time, but the moment Bai Zhi sat down and picked up her pen, I felt like the air around me froze... no, it was a refreshing coolness that put my heart and soul to rest!"
"She's like a literary genius who fell from the sky; with a single stroke of her pen, even a big shot like Old Wu would have to stand by and carry her shoes!"
Lin Le added from the side:
"Dapeng's statement is still too conservative."
"When Bai Zhi was writing 'Instant Success' this afternoon, I saw through the camera that there seemed to be a faint golden light behind her."
"That's not an illusion; it's a resonance of art!"
As Jiang Bai listened to the people's animated descriptions, he appeared shocked, but inwardly he was filled with a torrent of complaints.
What golden light?
That's the light reflecting off my cold sweat in the setting sun!
What is sacred?
Lao Tzu was just trying to hold his pee, and that stiffness was the result of forcibly keeping his body still!
These people have all exaggerated it!
"And, third brother, do you know how much money our class raised for charity today?"
of course I know.
The system had already told him about this.
However, he couldn't show that he knew, after all, he was a busy bum in the Literature and Art Department and had nothing to do with Jiang Baizhi at the charity sale stall!
Jiang Bai feigned ignorance, saying, "I just got off work and I don't know anything," and randomly gave a number:
"How much? Twenty thousand? Thirty thousand?"
"Thirty thousand? Are you trying to fetch a beggar?!"
Su Ze screamed and made an extremely exaggerated gesture:
"A full 1.7 million!! And that doesn't even include the money from the blind box charity sale this morning!!"
One million seven hundred thousand?
To be precise, it is 1,776,850 yuan!
Jiang Bai cooperated by exclaiming in shock, his pupils dilating in disbelief.
"One million seven hundred thousand?! Holy crap, is my sister robbing a bank?"
Robbing a bank? That's too narrow-minded!
Gu Dapeng looked ecstatic.
"Those elderly folks almost came to blows just trying to get a 'good fortune' character from the stalls, especially towards the end when they were packing up!!"
"Yes! You didn't see the scene where Old Wu paid 100,000 yuan for just one character!"
"......"
Listening to his three sons praising him in turn, Jiang Bai felt a little shy and blushed, almost unable to bear it.
But what Jiang Bai found most unbearable was what Su Ze said next.
Su Ze leaned closer to Jiang Bai and said mysteriously:
"Third brother, I've noticed another detail."
"Although Sister Baizhi has been very aloof all day, her fox ears twitch slightly whenever someone mentions your name."
"That sense of dependence, like that of an elder brother who is like a father, is truly heartwarming."
Jiang Bai: "......"
"That's not dependence, that's my ears twitching from anger when I'm cursing you guys in my head!"
Lin Le also replied with a serious expression:
"Also, the look in Bai Zhi's eyes when she looked at that life-size cardboard cutout in front of the stall today was full of complex emotions."
"I think it's a kind of indifference towards one's own appearance and a silent tribute to one's brother's hard work."
"At that moment, I felt that she wasn't looking at the brand, but at your soul."
Jiang Bai covered his face, feeling like he was about to suffocate.
These people's ability to fill in the blanks is beyond what someone who has studied in Hollywood could achieve.
This is practically creating a "Jiang Baizhi Cult" directly within the will of the universe!
[Ding! Detected that the host's roommate's imagination has exceeded 200%. The host's level of embarrassment has been converted into a tangible popularity score of +100!]
[System Notification: Due to the host's overly successful performance as a "Saintess" for the day, the entire school has automatically bestowed the "Brother of Saints" buff upon your main account, "Jiang Bai."]
Tomorrow, as you walk across the playground, everyone's attention will shift from "my brother-in-law" to "the brother-in-law we're determined to protect at all costs."
"I don't need protection, I just need them to stay away from me."
Jiang Bai was both amused and exasperated.
Looking down at her three sons, who were seriously discussing "how to imagine a goddess's ascension to godhood based on Bai Zhi's every move."
Jiang Bai shook his head helplessly, lay down, and continued to simulate the "deceptive" process for tomorrow in his mind over and over again.
