Chapter 230 Drinking a Billion Sips of Water!
At Lin Le's home in a city in southern China.
Compared to the "grudges and feuds" of the Su family and the "turmoil in the forest" of the Gu family, the atmosphere of the Lin family is particularly...unique.
Lin Le sat upright on the sofa, staring intently at the television.
Behind him, in their gaming chairs, Mr. and Mrs. Lin each held a top-of-the-line gaming phone, their fingers frantically swiping across the screen, accompanied by rhythmic shouts:
"Old Lin, use your ultimate! Use your ultimate! The enemy jungler is coming!"
"Wait a minute, I've got this play all perfect, watch me take him down... Hey, why isn't the support following up?"
Amidst her busy schedule, Lin's mother took a moment to turn around, glanced at her son, and said with a face full of surprise:
"Lele, what's wrong with you tonight?"
"You're usually the one who asks us to help you rank up, what's wrong, are you changing your tune tonight?"
"That guy's been on TV three times already, what's so interesting about him?"
"Get online quickly, your dad's marksman is terrible, he desperately needs you to carry him!"
Lin Le didn't turn his head, his tone firm:
"Mom, not tonight. I want to watch Bai Zhi sing."
Mr. Lin curled his lip, making a sarcastic comment while manipulating his character's movements:
"What Bai Zhi sister? Aren't all these talent shows scripted these days? My 'five consecutive unparalleled victories' are much more real."
"Honey, don't worry about him. If he doesn't come, we'll find someone else. We have to reach the King rank tonight!"
"Okay! Let's find passersby!"
"But you're out of the question, you're too bad and will drag me down to the King rank."
"No, honey, please take me with you! Please, someone powerful, take me with you!"
"......"
Lin Le shook his head at his "improper" parents, silently took out his phone, and opened Weibo and Tieba.
At this point, half an hour had passed since the start of The Voice of China.
The online buzz is so intense it's almost burning out the servers.
"Why isn't Jiang Baizhi out yet? Ahhhhh!"
"Anyone want to go to Kyoto TV and complain to the director? The editing is too slow!"
"Am I the only one curious about what the goddess will sing tonight? A revolutionary song? That's not easy to compose."
Lin Le became increasingly eager to read it and finally couldn't resist opening the dormitory WeChat group.
He was just about to type a message to Jiang Bai when Su Ze's messages started popping up all over the screen.
Su Ze (Brother-in-law Reserve No. 1): [@Jiang Bai Brother-in-law! Where is he?]
[Come out and receive the imperial decree! The whole family is sitting in front of the TV waiting to see our sister!]
[Quickly give me a heads-up, what's the name of this song? I want to tell them in advance!]
Immediately afterwards, Gu Dapeng's profile picture also popped up.
Gu Dapeng (Brother-in-law's reserve number 2):
[@JiangBai's brother-in-law, stop playing dead!]
My dad even put out his beloved pipe while waiting for my sister!
My dog, Dahuang, just barked at the TV. I suspect it wants to call you "brother-in-law" too!
[Quickly tell me, is Bai Zhi singing "Love You"?]
If it were "Love You," my dad would probably do a backflip right there on the kang (heated brick bed) for you!
Seeing this, Lin Le quickly followed:
Lin Le (Brother-in-law, Reserve No. 3):
Third brother, I'm waiting too.
My parents are playing duo queue right now, but I've already turned the volume up all the way.
Everyone's talking about 'ten-minute original content' online. Can you give me a straight answer? Is it true? Has my sister secretly evolved behind your back?
……
At this moment, in Kyoto Film Studio.
A cold wind swept through the corridor, bringing with it a chilling atmosphere.
"Click! This one's saved!"
"Ten-minute break for everyone, then we'll move on to prepare for 'Northern Palace Snow Night'!"
Yu Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and stomped his feet excitedly.
Jiang Bai nodded and returned to his private lounge.
Upon entering, his upright "backbone of the Han Dynasty" instantly collapsed, and he slumped into a recliner as if he had no bones.
"Phew, I feel like my back is about to break."
Jiang Bai was resting when he casually took out his phone.
When he unlocked it, good heavens, the red number "99+" on the WeChat icon almost burned his phone.
Information about the three sons came out in rapid succession.
Jiang Bai stared at the repeated phrases "our sister," "brother-in-law," and "receive the imperial decree," his forehead veins throbbing.
"Tongzi, did you see that? This is what they call brotherhood."
Jiang Bai internally complained:
"Why aren't they this enthusiastic when they're usually trying to steal my snacks in the dorm?"
"Now they're staring at my 'face' and calling me 'wife,' and they expect me, their older brother, to give them information?"
[Host, if you tell them the truth, they will treat you with great enthusiasm, extremely so.]
"Ha, do you think I'm that stupid?"
"But enthusiasm is good too."
Seeing his three sons scratching their heads in frustration, Jiang Bai couldn't help but let out an extremely wicked smile.
"Want to know? Heh heh, I'm not telling you."
Jiang Bai slowly typed out a line of text:
I've been busy and haven't had a chance to check my phone.
My sister did mention it to me, but my throat is a bit dry right now.
Let me take a sip of water to moisten my throat before I tell you all about it.
After sending that message, Jiang Bai slammed his phone down on the table, picked up a bunch of grapes from the side, and slowly began to eat them.
"Tell me? You're kidding. By the time I finish drinking this billion sips of water, The Voice will probably be playing until the end credits."
Jiang Bai had calculated correctly. Based on the editing habits of that old director Wang Dazhong, Jiang Baizhi's appearance would take at least two more hours.
He's going to disappear without internet access for the next two hours!
Forget about telling them or not, Jiang Bai is just going to drive them crazy!
[Ding! Host, your mental fortitude, like your physical strength, has completely crossed the moral bottom line for humanity. It is recommended that you develop into a villainous character in the future.]
"Pah! I'm so honest and kind, don't slander me!"
"Life is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills."
"Besides, letting them rush things is also a way to strengthen their willpower."
Jiang Bai finished eating the grapes with a clear conscience, patted her bottom, and went out to work overtime again.
.......
Meanwhile, the roommates, who were scattered across three different locations, were completely outraged.
Five minutes passed.
Ten minutes have passed.
The lobby of Su Ze's villa.
Su Ze stared at his phone screen, his eyes practically bulging out of their sockets: "Where is he? He's been drinking that water for ten minutes! Is he drinking the Yangtze River with a straw?"
Su's father, standing nearby, frowned and asked, "Xiao Ze, has your buddy replied yet? What exactly is he singing?"
Su Ze replied through gritted teeth:
[@JiangBai's brother-in-law? Brother-in-law?]
[@Jiangbai Laosan?]
[@JiangBaiKao! Three! Did you drink holy water? It's been ten minutes! Did you fall into a well?]
Gu Dapeng, sitting on his heated brick bed in the Northeast forest region, was so angry he almost smashed his tobacco pipe.
[@JiangBai, I know you're watching!]
Where did you drink the water? Did you go to Qinghai Lake to fetch it fresh?
Lin Le even spammed the group chat with messages:
This is the fourth time this has been played! Based on data analysis, he must have gone to drink water from the Pacific Ocean!
[After drinking from the Pacific Ocean, they went to drink from the Atlantic Ocean!]
Tomorrow, the entire world may face a water crisis!
[@JiangBai, please reply quickly to protect the environment!!!]
