Chapter 136 The two meet!
It's Lao Zhang's voice!
Jiang Bai instantly felt his blood freeze.
What the hell is this luck?
Even hiding here, I still managed to get spotted?!
"Oh no, we can't let Old Zhang see us!"
Jiang Bai was so scared he almost flew away.
He reacted extremely quickly, shoving the six deliverymen beside him behind the nearby bushes:
"Hide! Quick! Don't make a sound!"
The six men were well-trained and instantly concealed themselves.
Jiang Bai originally wanted to squeeze in as well, but the force of pushing people earlier was too great, and he was too conspicuous standing at the front in public.
Before he could even turn around...
"Hey? That one over there... isn't that Jiang Baizhi?"
Old Zhang's voice came through, tinged with surprise.
Jiang Bai froze.
With his back to Lao Zhang, his face was contorted into a mask of pain.
"It's over..."
"It's locked."
"This is the first time I've ever met my counselor face-to-face while dressed as a woman!"
"If there's even the slightest flaw in the voice, expression, or Adam's apple..."
"call--"
Jiang Bai took a deep breath and forcibly adjusted his facial expression.
"No, stay calm! I'm dressed as a woman right now! As long as I don't panic, Old Zhang won't be able to spot me!"

He slowly turned around, his face showing just the right amount of confusion and surprise, as he looked at the two people approaching:
"You are...."
Old Zhang, pulling his wife along, quickly walked over and introduced himself with a smile:
"Hello, hello! I'm your brother Jiang Bai's counselor, my surname is Zhang."
Nonsense, I'd recognize you even if you were ashes!
Jiang Bai glanced at his trench coat. Although it covered his white silk stockings, his makeup was still on, his wig was still on, and the pearl hair clip on his head was still sparkling.
Don't panic, hold on!
Looking at Old Zhang so close, Jiang Bai steadied his inner turmoil. On the surface, he immediately put on an expression of sudden realization and deep respect, and sweetly called out:
"Ah! So you're Teacher Zhang!"
"My brother often mentions you! He says you are his most respected and responsible teacher!"
"Hello, Teacher Zhang!"
This flattery made Old Zhang feel incredibly comfortable, and his face beamed with joy.
"Haha, this kid, he's been talking badly about me all this time, hasn't he? And now he calls himself respectful."
He was modest on the surface, but secretly he was very pleased with himself.
Immediately afterwards, Old Zhang pulled his wife over:
"This is my lover."
"We couldn't find you backstage, but we didn't expect to run into you here."
Before Jiang Bai could even greet her, his master's wife rushed up excitedly and grabbed his hand.
"Oh my! It really is you!"
"Jiang Baizhi! I watched 'The Voice of China'! You were the contestant who got four turns, right?"
"My God! She's a hundred times prettier in person than on TV!"
"That skin, those eyes, they're so beautiful!"
Faced with his master's wife's enthusiastic advances, Jiang Bai could only switch to his obedient mode, nodding and smiling sweetly:
"Auntie, you flatter me~"
"It's just good luck~"
His eyes were secretly glancing at the bushes beside him, afraid that the delivery guys might make some noise.
No, he has to take Lao Zhang and the others somewhere else.
As he spoke, Jiang Bai intentionally or unintentionally shifted his feet, indirectly leading Mr. and Mrs. Zhang away from there.
en route.
"Girl, can I get your autograph?"
As if by magic, the teacher's wife pulled out paper and pen from her bag, her face full of anticipation.
"sign?"
Jiang Bai was taken aback.
This is the first time someone has asked him to sign the name "Jiang Baizhi".
"Okay...okay."
He took the pen and instinctively reached to sign his name.
"River......."
"white......."
After writing those two words, Jiang Bai's hand suddenly stopped!
A cold sweat broke out instantly.
I'm used to it!
I'm getting into the flow!
If they signed it with "Jiang Bai" and handed it over, wouldn't that be tantamount to self-destruction?!
"Girl, what's wrong?" His teacher's wife looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"No, the pen isn't writing very well."
Jiang Bai steadied his hand and forcefully added the elegant character "芷" after the character "白".
Angelica dahurica.
"Here you go~"
Jiang Bai handed it over, letting out a long sigh of relief.
The teacher's wife was overjoyed, examining the autographed document repeatedly and praising it endlessly.
"Your handwriting reflects your personality! It's so bold and powerful! Like a boy's handwriting, full of strength!"
Jiang Bai: "......"
Thank you, this was written by a boy.
Just then, Old Zhang, who hadn't spoken until now, suddenly looked around and asked in confusion:
"Oh, right, Angelica dahurica."
"Where's your brother?"
"I clearly saw him backstage just now, how come he disappeared in the blink of an eye?"
Jiang Bai's heart tightened.
Here it comes! The killer question is here!
Without batting an eye, he began to speak:
"Oh, brother..."
"He just said his stomach hurt and went to the toilet."
"Maybe... he ate something bad. He'll probably have to sit for a while."
"The toilet?" Old Zhang frowned. "That kid messed up at the crucial moment. Luckily, the performance hasn't even started yet."
Before Old Zhang could delve deeper, he remembered something else and asked with a gossipy look:
"By the way, I heard you also acted in Yu Zheng's 'Beauty's Rival in Palace'?"
"Playing the Empress Zhang Yan?"
"This is a big production! Do you have a lot of screen time in it?"
"What role does your brother Jiang Bai play? Can you tell us?"
Jiang Bai felt his head was about to explode.
Why is Old Zhang checking my household registration like this?
Moreover, he was wearing a trench coat over a short skirt and white stockings, and standing there for a while made me feel chilly and extremely insecure.
"Hmm...it's alright, just a supporting role."
Jiang Bai gave a perfunctory reply, then quickly took the initiative:
"Teacher Zhang, you and Auntie came out here for...?"
"Oh, it's too stuffy in there, I came out for some fresh air," Old Zhang said.
Jiang Bai's eyes darted around, and he gave a "me too" look:
"Yeah, I also find it too boring."
"Actually, I want to go back."
"But there's nothing we can do, we still have to wait for the final performance."
The subtext of this statement is: Teacher Zhang, now that you've had some fresh air, you should hurry back to your apartment and rest. Don't linger here!
However, Lao Zhang didn't understand this meaning at all.
Instead, he comforted her with a concerned expression:
"It's okay, it's okay, hang in there."
"You're the final act, so you'll definitely have to wait until the very end."
"If you're tired, find a place to sit down, don't stand."
Jiang Bai was in despair.
This conversation just won't go on!
If they keep talking, and one of those "black fox spirits" from that bush suddenly jumps out, he'll be completely finished!
"Um... teacher, auntie."
Jiang Bai suddenly clutched his stomach, his brows furrowing slightly:
"I also need to go to the restroom."
"I might have eaten the same thing as my brother, which is why my stomach is upset."
"I'm off now! See you later!"
Done.
Jiang Bai didn't wait for the two to react. He grabbed the hem of his trench coat, turned around, and ran.
That speed was faster than a rabbit's.
Watching Jiang Bai's hurried departure.
Old Zhang stood there, scratched his head, and muttered to himself with a puzzled look:
"strangeness......."
"Why do these two siblings both have stomach problems?"
"Did you eat something bad yesterday?"
As he spoke, his gaze inadvertently swept over the feet of Jiang Bai as he walked away.
Those little white shoes that still shone brightly in the darkness.
Old Zhang smiled and said to his wife:
"Look at this girl, even though she's a big star, she's still quite down-to-earth."
"I wore these white sneakers on The Voice of China a few days ago."
