Chapter 165: Even Ah Ken has to wear a bikini?
There is no wall without cracks, no wolf without lust. There is no woman who can keep a secret, nor is there a labyrinth that can never be unraveled.
Perhaps outsiders could hardly understand or imagine that the disruption caused by T4 fans at the Butterfly group's concert was actually a bitter flesh trick played by Tang Chong.
However, Bai Su, Lin Huiyin, and Zhang Hepburn were all people close to Tang Chong, and none of them lacked intelligence. Naturally, they could catch some clues from certain details or Tang Chong's reactions.
Of course, they only suspected and could not be certain. Therefore, they needed Tang Chong to give them the answer himself.
"Confess what?" Tang Chong asked. Then, with a sudden realization, he said, "Is it about the time I went to the women's restroom during the intermission and met a female staff member?"
"Who cares whether you went to the men's restroom or the women's restroom?" Bai Su pinched Tang Chong's arm hard and said with feigned anger, "We are asking about the concert. What on earth did you do during this concert?"
"Glow sticks?" Tang Chong laughed. "Didn't you all know about placing those glow sticks? Besides, those were all arranged by you. Why are you asking me now?"
Indeed, placing glow sticks under tens of thousands of seats was Bai Su's arrangement.
Because of the precedent where people from Boyi sneaked into the Huanglong Gymnasium to secretly record rehearsal videos, Bai Su, Tang Chong, and the others began to ponder: since Boyi harbored such deep hatred toward them, what methods would they ultimately use to bring them down?
Thus, they began to think about the problem from Boyi's perspective, and then discussed countermeasures from their own standpoint—
Power outage.
A power outage was the trump card most likely to be used against them. Given Guo Yunzong's status, causing a blackout in the Huanglong Gymnasium area for a few minutes, or just cutting power to the Huanglong Gymnasium itself, was something that could be accomplished with a single phone call.
However, such a simple yet vicious trick had immense destructive power. If there was no electricity during the concert, eyes couldn't see and ears couldn't hear, were the fans just supposed to sit there stupidly waiting for the power to return?
Consequently, everyone discussed countermeasures and finally came up with this response of placing glow sticks.
Sure enough, the effect was remarkable.
Although they couldn't see the facial expression of Boyi's boss when he saw this scene, it must have been very dramatic.
Seeing that Tang Chong was still playing dumb, Zhang Hepburn said angrily, "Who is asking you about that? We already know about this, alright? The idea was even my invention. We are asking about those T4 fans—were they arranged by you?"
"How is that possible?" Tang Chong cried out defensively. "How could I possibly do such a thing?"
"You certainly would," Bai Su and Zhang Hepburn accused in unison.
Helpless, Tang Chong said, "Since you are unwilling to believe what I say, why are you still asking me?"
"We want to hear the truth," Bai Su said. The more Tang Chong denied it, the more certain she was that he was the one behind it. According to his personality, if he hadn't done it, he would have tried to drag the mastermind out into the open rather than rushing to distance himself from the matter. This little man wanted to play games with her, but he was still a bit too naive.
"What I said is the truth. Believe it or not," Tang Chong stubbornly insisted. "Besides, we are teammates. How can you pin this on me? I'm just an ordinary college student; how could I think of such a vicious scheme? Furthermore, I don't even know where to find so many people to help—"
"You would," Lin Huiyin suddenly chimed in to support them.
After Lin Huiyin spoke, both Bai Su and Zhang Hepburn stared at her in astonishment.
She never normally participated in discussions like this; what was wrong with her today?
Seeing their quirky expressions, Lin Huiyin repeated, "He would."
She lowered her head to drink her water and said no more.
Bai Su chuckled and said, "Keep pretending. Let's see how much longer you can keep up the act. Even Huiyin's temperament couldn't stand it anymore, and you're still arguing with us. Confess. We're not planning to criticize you. On the contrary, we're planning to praise you greatly."
Seeing that Tang Chong just smiled without responding, Bai Su continued, "I have to admit, this move was simply marvelous. Those people jumping out to cause trouble was equivalent to tearing open the conflict between T4 and Butterfly, instantly nailing T4 to the pillar of shame. No matter how they try to explain later, no matter what problems arise in our concerts from now on, people will suspect they did it."
"And because of their stupidity, people will think Boyi is controlled by a bunch of idiots. It even drags T4 down, making people mock them for being big-breasted and brainless—though T4 suffered a power outage later too. Did you know about that?"
"I just saw it online," Tang Chong said. "Why did they lose power too? Did someone find them obnoxious? Or, just like the netizens' comments say, did they suffer retribution from the heavens?"
"Tang Chong," Bai Su looked seriously into Tang Chong's eyes, which looked exceptionally handsome and lively without his glasses, and said, "As long as you tell us the truth, when we go to Sanya for vacation next month, I'll let Benben and Huiyin wear bikinis for you to see. You might not know yet, but the company has a rule: any artist who finishes a concert can choose a place to go on vacation. It's winter now, so of course we choose to go to Sanya."
Tang Chong's eyes lit up, and a flame in his lower abdomen shot straight to the top of his head.
Imagining Zhang Hepburn in a pink, cute bikini with her magnificent chest exposed to him, and then thinking of Lin Huiyin's slender, beautiful legs, and how she—ice-cold and aloof like an iceberg—would look wearing a bikini...
"What about you?" Tang Chong swallowed hard and asked.
Bai Su gave a charming smile, licked her rosy lips, and said, "If you don't mind older Sister Bai being old, I can wear one for you to see too."
Oh heavens, oh earth, Guan Yin Bodhisattva, Tathagata Buddha—
Tang Chong wished he could shout it out loud.
For the first time, he felt how great and wise the bearded man was for kicking him into this female group.
"Actually, it's not that I'm unwilling to tell you the truth—" Tang Chong said with a blushing, embarrassed look. He had just denied doing it, but now he was changing his tune for the sake of a few bikinis. He really wasn't a good man after all.
"It's just that I didn't want you to imagine me as too bad, thinking I'm some kind of sinister villain... I did it for the company, for the team, and for you."
"Right, right. For the company. For the team. For us," Bai Su echoed. "We can all understand. But why didn't you give me a heads-up in advance?"
"It's a surprise," Tang Chong laughed heartily. "Whom did I hear it from? Don't women love the feeling of surprise?"
"What a real surprise," Zhang Hepburn said with a grin. "Were those slogans your idea too?"
"They weren't very good. Just cobbled together." Tang Chong indirectly admitted it.
Consequently, Zhang Hepburn's expression changed. She gritted her teeth, glared at Tang Chong, and said, "Then tell me—what did 'Butterflies cannot fly across the沧海 (sea), because they are flat-chested with no milk' mean?"
"——" Tang Chong wore a bewildered look and asked, "Was there a phrase like that?"
Women really hold grudges.
Others had plotted against her so maliciously, yet she didn't think about how to take revenge on them. She had simply harbored a grudge against him because of a wrong slogan he came up with.
"I heard it loud and clear," Zhang Hepburn said, making a motion to pounce on him.
Tang Chong shifted his hips backward and said, "This has nothing to do with me—maybe they chanted the wrong thing?"
"If it has nothing to do with you, who does it have to do with? What gives you the right to say we're flat-chested with no milk? Have you seen it? Have you touched it? You—"
"Benben, Benben," Bai Su hurriedly pulled Zhang Hepburn back, sweating profusely, and said, "Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive."
"Exactly. I haven't seen it and I haven't touched it, how would I know whether your breasts are big or small—that slogan definitely wasn't my idea," Tang Chong argued. He glanced at Zhang Hepburn's chest, thinking to himself: how on earth did he come up with that slogan in the first place?
Given the fullness of Zhang Hepburn's breasts, even if she were sent into T4, they could immediately rename themselves X5—the Fierce-Breasted Combination.
"Don't be impulsive? Then make him tell me, who is flat-chested?" Zhang Hepburn stared at Tang Chong and demanded.
Bai Su winked at Tang Chong, signaling him to make up some excuse to appease Zhang Hepburn.
Thus, Tang Chong pointed at his own chest and said, "I'm flat-chested."
"Hmph. I hate dishonest men the most," Zhang Hepburn glared fiercely at Tang Chong before finally looking satisfied.
"Right, right. I apologize," Tang Chong's attitude in admitting fault was exemplary. "Next time we chant slogans, I will definitely respect the facts. It would be even better if you could provide more detailed data and information—"
Ah Ken walked downstairs carrying champagne and a corkscrew. Seeing the few of them chatting and laughing, he asked, "What are you discussing? It's so lively?"
"We're talking about taking Tang Chong to Sanya for a vacation next month to look at bikinis," Bai Su said with a smile.
"Oh my goodness—" Ah Ken grew excited. "This is great. I want to go too, I want to go too. Susu, can I go too, please?"
"Alright, we'll take you along. Ah Ken has been working hard lately too," Bai Su said with a smile.
"Susu is so nice," Ah Ken said happily. "Let me tell you, when I went to the United States this time, I happened to buy a set of bikinis. When the time comes, I'll wear them for you to see. You'll definitely think it's very SEXY."
"——" Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
Ah Ken wanted to wear a bikini too?
Ah Ken was still excitedly waiting for everyone to echo and praise him, but after he finished speaking, he noticed that everyone maintained silence, looking at him as if he were insane. Only then did he realize what was going on.
He stomped his foot in anger and said, "I was talking about men's bikinis. Men's! Hmph, I'm not talking to you anymore. You guys are mean, simply too mean."
