Chapter 363 Misplacement
Meanwhile, near the finish line on the playground.
Su Ze, Gu Dapeng, and Lin Le were sitting in a circle.
Su Ze was sighing to Gu Dapeng:
"The third brother's stamina is really impressive. He ran a kilometer and still had time for official business?"
"I reckon Bai Zhi will be here soon, and she might be sad if she doesn't see Lao San."
Just as he was marveling at it, Su Ze's eyes suddenly widened, and he almost dropped his phone into a crack in the plastic track.
"Holy crap... Look over there!!"
Everyone turned their heads in unison.
On the steps leading to the racetrack, a dazzling light pink figure resembled a startled fawn, hurriedly weaving through the crowd.
A pair of long legs encased in white stockings swayed alluringly in the sunlight.
Especially those white fox ears, which twitched rapidly with the rhythm of running, clearly showing their anxiety.
"It's Bai Zhi, my little sister! I didn't expect her to be back!"
The surrounding crowd also noticed Jiang Bai, and immediately erupted in excitement.
Jiang Bai ignored the reactions of passersby and pretended to see his roommates, heading straight for their location.
"Brother Dapeng... Brother Aze..."
Jiang Bai ran up to the group and took small breaths.
Thanks to his 14 points of stamina control, he accurately simulated the frail feeling of "running too fast, causing unsteady breathing, and flushed cheeks."
"I...I just came back from signing some papers at the office."
Jiang Bai looked around, his once bright eyes instantly misting over with tears as he searched in vain.
"Where's my brother? The men's 1000-meter race seems to be over... Am I too late?"
Her panicked and pitiful appearance, coupled with the allure of her pink lace dress, made her even more captivating.
It made them gasp for breath.
Su Ze felt as if his heart was being gripped tightly by a small hand called "Jiang Baizhi," and the pain made him want to drag Jiang Baizhi out of the broadcasting room and beat him up right there.
"Oh dear! Sister Baizhi, don't be in such a hurry!"
Su Ze quickly reached out, then froze in mid-air, not daring to touch it, his tone so gentle it could melt hearts:
"Brother-in-law... no, the third brother just finished running!"
"You didn't see it! His explosive power got him fifth place in the men's 1000-meter race!"
"But Sister Baizhi, you're late. Your brother just went to the Literature and Art Department to take care of something and left less than ten minutes ago."
Upon hearing this...
Jiang Bai lowered his head in disappointment, the bottle of mineral water in his hand trembling slightly, his fox ears drooping limply in his hair.
"You've finished running..."
He pointed to the red ribbon tied to the bottle of mineral water, his voice tinged with a heartbreaking regret:
"This is the water I specially prepared beforehand... I was thinking of handing it to my brother myself."
"Go brother! Congratulations!"
"However, I didn't expect that something would come up and I wouldn't be able to make it..."
Seeing Jiang Bai's regretful expression, everyone clenched their fists.
Ugh—!
Gu Dapeng let out a roar that sounded like a lament. He looked at the bottle of water in the goddess's hand, which was radiating a loving aura, and then thought of Jiang Bai, who was busy with his work in the broadcasting room.
"Jiang Bai, you deserve to die!!!"
"Couldn't you have stayed a little longer?!"
Gu Dapeng roared inwardly, then turned to Jiang Bai and said kindly:
"Don't be sad, little sister! Third brother... he was serving the people!"
"You have no idea, he was still talking about you before he left."
"Brother Dapeng, I'll hold this water for you!"
"Once the third brother is done with his work, I promise I'll make sure he drinks every last drop!"
Su Ze quickly chimed in, adopting the stance of "I'm the brother-in-law's closest comrade-in-arms."
"Yes, yes, yes! Bai Zhi, you've been working hard all afternoon, hurry up and go into the shade to rest."
"Don't worry about Jiang Bai. He's just destined to work hard. The best support we can give him is to treat him well!"
Jiang Bai sniffed and forced a smile:
"Then... I'll listen to my brothers."
"If my brother comes back, you must tell him... I'm so proud of him."
As Jiang Bai spoke, the rough-and-tumble man in his heart was already laughing so hard he was practically rolling on the floor.
"It's done! It's completely done!"
"Old Zhang has already taken the blame, and Su Ze has firmly established the belief that 'Jiang Bai is busy.' Right now, I'm still holding onto the water I bought for Jiang Bai..."
"Who in the world, besides the system, could possibly see through this perfect misalignment?!"
