Chapter 82 Run! Run!
On the stage.
Jiang Baigang bowed, preparing to step down from the stage.
Out of the corner of his eye, he habitually glanced down at the audience.
This sweep almost caused him to lose his composure on the spot.
Then, in the first row, there was that familiar Mediterranean figure—counselor Zhang—who had actually left his seat and was hurrying towards the backstage area with a clear goal in mind!
Holy crap!
Jiang Bai felt a chill run down his spine, and alarm bells rang in his mind.
This old fox!
Why aren't you playing by the rules?
Why are you coming to the backstage at this time?
If he were to block him backstage and see him with this group of "errand runners" who hadn't even taken off their masks yet, and he hadn't even had a chance to change...
That would be like catching a turtle in a jar; they'd be completely finished!
"Quick! Retreat!"
As soon as Jiang Bai stepped down, she abandoned even the goddess image.
He grabbed the arm of the nearest deliveryman, his voice urgent:
Stop reminiscing about it!
"The Dean of Students is coming!"
"Remember what I just said! Ignore everyone else! Come with me!"
The six deliverymen were startled when they heard that the "Dean of Students" had arrived.
"Run! Run! Run!"
Led by Jiang Bai, the group, like a band of notorious thieves who had just committed a crime, bypassed the main passage and went straight into the side passage where the backstage was piled with miscellaneous items.
"This way! This door leads outside!"
Jiang Bai kicked open the half-closed fire door.
A night breeze blew by.
The taste of freedom!
A group of people rushed into the night and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
……
Two minutes later.
Old Zhang arrived at the backstage waiting area, panting heavily.
"Jiang Bai?"
"Um... Jiang Baizhi?"
He looked around.
The backstage area was still bustling with people moving props, touching up makeup, and chatting—it was a lively scene.
The only thing missing was the beautiful figure in the sailor uniform, and the strange men wearing fox masks.
"That's strange..."
Old Zhang scratched his head and grabbed a passing student council member:
"Hey, did you see those people who just performed 'Love You'?"
The clerk looked completely bewildered.
"Teacher Zhang? I've been looking for them too!"
"He disappeared the moment he stepped off the stage, like he could teleport! He didn't even sign anything!"
Old Zhang sighed helplessly.
"Are these two siblings born in the Year of the Rabbit? They run so fast!"
"I was going to give you a couple more words of advice..."
Old Zhang couldn't stop anyone, so there was nothing he could do.
But a huge weight was lifted off his shoulders.
Now that we've run away, there's no need to worry about running into the department head.
"Forget it, it's better that they ran away."
Old Zhang shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and walked out of the auditorium.
As I walked, the program I had just watched kept replaying in my mind.
"But then again..."
"This show is really good."
"Especially Jiang Baizhi, she sings sweetly, dances well, and is absolutely gorgeous."
"In our acting class this year, there really isn't anyone who can beat her."
"What a pity, why wasn't it someone from our class? It was someone's family member from the class instead?"
Old Zhang had just walked to the aisle of the audience seats, preparing to leave.
Then I heard a few audience members who hadn't left yet gathered together, excitedly discussing:
"That girl is amazing!"
"Yes, both her looks and her overall presence are better than many celebrities!"
"I feel like she'd be a huge star if she debuted!"
"She sings and dances exceptionally well; she's practically an all-around idol!"
"Have you guys noticed? She looks a bit like that guy... oh right! A bit like that ancient costume makeup photo that's been all over the internet lately!"
"Yes, yes, yes! I also think she looks familiar! It's that... that Empress Zhang Yan from Yu Zhengxin's drama!"
He does not mean that.
Old Zhang, who was about to step out the door, suddenly stopped in his tracks.
A bolt of lightning cleaved through the fog in his mind.
"etc!"
"Empress Zhang Yan?!"
"Yu Zheng's new drama?!"
"I remember now! I was wondering why Jiang Bai's face looked so familiar!"
Old Zhang's pupils dilated instantly.
He remembered!
Just two days ago!
He saw the promotional photos for Yu Zheng's new drama "Beauty's Rival in Palace" while browsing Weibo!
The new actress who stunned him for a long time, playing Empress Zhang Yan!
"I knew it looked familiar!"
"Zhang Yan... isn't she Jiang Bai's younger sister, Jiang Baizhi?!"
With trembling hands, Lao Zhang pulled out his phone and found Yu Zheng's previous promotional photos on Weibo.
Zhang Yan, dressed in red and crowned with a phoenix coronet, was stunningly beautiful.
Think back to Jiang Baizhi, who was wearing a sailor uniform and looked sweet and lovely on stage just now.
Although one is dressed in ancient costume with a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, the other is dressed in a modern sailor uniform.
Different makeup styles create different looks.
But those facial features, those eyes...
It's definitely the same person!
"hiss--"
Old Zhang gasped, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
"The case is solved!"
"The case is completely solved!"
"No wonder! No wonder Jiang Bai asked for leave to go to Kyoto!"
"No wonder he didn't dare tell the truth when he came back!"
"It turns out the one who was actually chosen wasn't him, but his younger sister—Jiang Baizhi!"
Old Zhang slapped his thigh, suddenly realizing what was going on.
"This kid must have accompanied his sister to the audition, and she became a big star while he lost. He feels ashamed, so he's trying to fool me!"
"Good heavens!"
"Our class has a really important family member now!"
Old Zhang looked at the photos on his phone, becoming more and more satisfied, his face beaming with joy.
"This is Yu Zheng's drama! If it becomes a hit, our acting department will benefit too!"
"No, we can't just let this go."
"I need to have a serious talk with that kid Jiang Bai."
"Why keep such a joyous occasion a secret! It makes your brother proud to have a famous sister!"
Old Zhang, beaming with satisfaction, hummed the tune of "Love You" as he walked out of the auditorium with his hands behind his back.
Back to room 404.
Once the door is closed, the world becomes quiet.
Jiang Bai leaned against the door, feeling as if all the bones in his body were melting.
"Safety!"
"Completely safe!"
"My heart was pounding more than when I was on a roller coaster that night."
Looking at his three roommates who were grinning foolishly at the video without a shred of suspicion about his identity, Jiang Bai knew that this "blind spot" maneuver had been a perfect success.
"As long as I don't self-destruct, the world will have one more goddess named Jiang Baizhi and one less socially bankrupt Jiang Bai."
"This is a win-win situation!"
Jiang Bai stuffed his schoolbag into the deepest part of the closet, climbed onto the bed, and prepared to enjoy this rare moment of peace.
however.
My bottom hasn't even warmed up yet.
"Buzz—"
The phone next to my pillow suddenly vibrated, emitting a piercing buzzing sound.
Jiang Bai picked it up and took a look.
Caller ID: [Counselor Lao Zhang]
Jiang Bai's hand trembled, and he almost threw his phone away.
"Holy crap?"
"Why is that old fox here again?"
"Could it be that he ran too fast backstage and left something behind that was discovered?"
Jiang Bai took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
connected.
"Feed? Teacher Zhang?"
