The dust has settled.
The award ceremony for Men's Dormitory 404 was officially launched.
First of all, the winner of the Best Original Score Award – Mr. Hao Zhangwen!
Lu Yibei picked up one of the four bottles of Coca-Cola on the table and handed it to Fatty Hao with a reverent expression.
Fatty Hao bowed to the left, then slightly bowed to the right:
"I am grateful to the organization for its great support and guidance, which is also inseparable from my own hard work..."
Secondly, the winner of the Best Art Award – Mr. Zhao Sun!
With three of the four bottles of cola remaining, Lu Yibei handed one of them to Sun'er.
With a warm smile, Zhao Xun delivered her acceptance speech in a polite and humble manner:
"Fuck you, you almost killed me with exhaustion. This reward is well-deserved... no, it's only right."
And then, the Best Actor award—Mr. Lu Yibei!
Zhao Xun and Hao Zhangwen each picked up a bottle of Coke and solemnly presented it to Lu Yibei.
Lu Yibei picked it up, raised his arms, and shouted:
"We are the champions!!"
Finally, the Best Logistics Award goes to Mr. Liu Jie!
When Lu Yibei handed the last bottle of Coke to Liu Jie, this damn guy felt like he understood the whole story... but not deeply enough.
“…No, I need a translator,” Liu Jie said.
Zhao Xun was truly exasperated with him: "Don't you ever check your WeChat Moments?"
"I'm not looking."
Liu Jie's eyes were sincere and clear: "Who watches that stuff? They're either V2EX merchants, showing off their wealth, or people who are depressed or showing off their love."
Zhao Xun: "You brat, you don't even follow Chen Dan's WeChat Moments?!"
Hao Zhangwen could understand: "Maybe they just don't like posting them."
Liu Jie shook his head: "Chen Dan does post on WeChat Moments quite often..."
"Then?" Zhao Xun asked.
"Why don't you just click on her profile picture?" Liu Jie said.
Zhao Sun said he was a farmer, and now he would introduce what beets are.
Moreover, Chen Dan's posts on WeChat Moments are usually things like "Share on WeChat Moments to receive a one-day unlimited trial card for WeChat Reading," which is not worth pondering.
However, having been reminded to this point, even a genius like Liu Jie should realize he needs to check his WeChat Moments, and specifically, he needs to check Lao Bei's.
Clicking in, he immediately saw the post by Lu Yibei:
"Holy crap! Do I already have a daughter-in-law? Who? Ji Qingqian?"
Lu Yibei, unusually, did not object to the term "daughter-in-law," and smiled at Liu Jie.
“It’s not Laobei, say something—is it really true?” Liu Jie said.
“Yes.” Lu Yibei nodded.
Liu Jie's first thought was, "You really managed to get the school beauty."
The first thing he looked at was the table where he had once boasted that if Lao Bei could get together with Ji, the school beauty, he would have to eat at.
He secretly swallowed, then immediately thought of this ridiculous awards ceremony. It all made sense now; he understood it all.
"You've been working your butt off like this all these days just for this?"
"You're talking nonsense."
Zhao Xun clicked her tongue and said, "What do you mean we're busy? Aren't you busy? When we're doing things, aren't you the one who brings us takeout, deliveries, meals, and soup? If it weren't for you, we would have starved to death in the dorm long ago—oh, of course, we can't just let it go that you stole my fried chicken nuggets."
"When I'm lacking inspiration, isn't it you, Brother Jie, who helps me rank up and improve my mood so I can balance work and rest?"
Hao Zhangwen also said, "...However, you swore you would carry me to victory in PUBG, but you always ended up dying outside the final circle, which was really embarrassing."
Liu Jie choked suddenly.
When Liu Jie realized that all three of them had been busy with this matter recently, he still felt a little uncomfortable, as if he was the only one excluded.
But in just a moment, he managed to adjust himself.
He knew he was usually loud and boisterous, and if Lao Bei had told him in advance, he might have been even more agitated than Lao Bei himself.
Who knows, one minute he might be criticizing Hao Zhangwen's music, and the next he might be commenting on Zhao Xun's paintings.
Everyone's been restless lately, unsure of how well they've done their work or what the quality is like. They might even make changes based on his superficial suggestions.
That's really bad news. Time was already tight, and then he messed things up...
Even Liu Jie himself felt scared.
Leave professional matters to professionals.
Liu Jie's greatest strength is his self-awareness; he never engages in internal strife.
Lu Yibei knew his personality, which is why she dared to keep it a secret from him alone until now.
"And Brother Jie, the car rental was paid for with the 100 yuan you transferred from me. If it weren't for your 100 yuan, I wouldn't even be able to leave Hangzhou," Lu Yibei said.
Liu Jie suddenly realized, and slapped his thigh:
"Damn, why did you suddenly ask to borrow a hundred dollars? I thought you weren't really that destitute."
"Give it back to you now?"
Liu Jie: ...
He remembered what Lu Yibei had said back then: "You'll be too embarrassed to accept it when it's returned to you"... So that's what it meant. He had to admit, he really was too embarrassed.
…It still has to be the northern prison.
Worried that she would feel bad for not being able to help, she deliberately came up with this clever little trick.
Sometimes, a good brother is someone who can help you, but a good brother is also someone who knows you can't help but still tries to get you involved in the fun.
"Best Logistics Award - Liu Jie!"
Lu Yibei repeated himself and handed over the cola.
Liu Jie didn't refuse; he immediately took the bottle, turned it upside down, and used the bottom as a microphone to begin his remarks:
"Of course I should! Of course I should! Although the host didn't explicitly say so, everyone who won an award together should have noticed that I, Liu Jie, deserve the most credit for this whole affair. I hope they'll be sensible enough to treat me to a meal sometime later—"
"Get out of here!"
"You think you're so great, huh?"
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Yibei and Zhao Xun pressed him down into a chair and gave him a good beating.
"Fatty! Play the music!" Lu Yibei called out.
"Understood!"
Fatty Hao picked up the guitar that Lu Yibei had returned, and then Liu Jie let out a cry of pain:
"Zhao Xun, my son!! Lao Bei was talking about playing music, not beating your father!!"
Fatty Hao's hand stroked the guitar, and a burst of cheerful music began to play.
Zhao Xun immediately released Liu Jie, then picked up the "trophy"—which was actually a can of cola—and put it to his mouth like a microphone.
Liu Jie was also ready.
The four of them sang together:
"Plump and chubby, yet holding my head high, I venture far away."
"Being cowardly is just a facade; in reality, you're incredibly brave!"
"A love for wild fantasies fuels my energy~"
"Ping ping, bang, battling the enemy, even pots and pans lose their bearings~ Brushing teeth, washing face, and drinking soda all win the battle~~"
"Upholding justice is my principle; the Fruit Warriors are beyond your imagination; wielding the divine sword, I hope to bloom perfectly!"
After singing this line.
The boys raised their carbonated sodas as if they were swords:
"cheers!!"
Then, with a satisfying twist, the bottle cap was turned off!
…I got a refreshing spray of soda.
404 Men's Dorm: ...
Grass.
