Chapter 28: 28 Brother, which one do I look good in?
In the office, several people gather around Ji Xingchuan, pointing and urging.
"Brother Ji, Fang Zhiran is in a bad mood today, don't be harsh." Gan Wanhe said, "His experimental path has just begun, and he's encountered a stumbling block."
"Poor Fang Zhiran," said Pan Xu, "I saw him leaning against the window, his black hair in front of his forehead, his crow-feathered eyelashes lowered, the corners of his mouth pressed flat, his expression dark, and his clear pupils sad."
Jiang Feng also said, "Ah yes, yes, yes, he's not happy."
This language, why is it suddenly so barren?
"Yes?" Ji Xingchuan asked coldly.
"Fake one for ten." Jiang Feng said.
The office door is pushed open a little and Fang Zhiran enters.
The office was silent.
With his head down, the boy went to the window, picked up his book bag, and flung it violently over his shoulder.
"Bye bye senior brother, bye bye senior sister." Fang Zhiran said.
"Little Brother, that's my bag." Pan Xu reminded, "There are thirty books in it, don't you think it's heavy?"
Fang Zhiran : "Okay, haha."
Fang Zhiran smiled gently and changed into his own book bag.
"Hand me a copy of the cutting-edge literature review at night, and then give me the analysis report of the failed experiment." Ji Xingchuan opened his mouth, "Other than that, again ...... who kicked me?"
Gan Wanhe pulls back and throws Pan Xu's legs to the front.
"On top of that, write an English introduction for Lao Guo." Ji Xingchuan finished all the requests under the horrified gazes of a few of his fellow disciples, "May I?"
"Little Master suddenly looked up with incredulity in his eyes." Pan Xu said, "He ......"
"Ha ha." Fang Zhiran says, "Yeah, yeah, yeah."
Pan Xu: "?"
"Is that all there is to do?" Fang Zhiran asked, "Just a little more, haha."
Pan Xu: "......"
"No more, let's go." Ji Xingchuan said.
"Ha ha." Fang Zhiran turned backward, "Bye bye, Sister Pan Xu, bye bye, Brother Gan Wanhe."
The boys circled out the office door in some sort of snakeskin walk.
"Fang Zhiran has a sweet mouth." Gan Wanhe said, "It just feels like something is wrong."
Pan Xu : "Well, I'm a little scared."

On the way back to the dormitory, Fang Zhiran rewatched the news of Shogetsu's culture every hundred meters.
There's a comment at the bottom of the tweet-
@ShogunmoonCulture: Hahahahaha I didn't realize that there are so many babies who want to see our winter teacher on the spot, please don't worry, we've already put the winter teacher's meeting into priority planning, and will open up the purchase of tickets in the near future, so please be patient Oh! Funny.jpg
It's true, it's not a dream, Mr. Winter is really going to be at the meet.
You can see the winter teacher entity now and record two live, lossless voices.
Uh, wait a minute.
Fang Zhiran poked this tweet and it's currently at 6734 retweets and 2w likes.
So many competitors, Fang Zhiran's eyes lit up with the fury of rolling up everyone, just kidding, never underestimate the speed of a dead nerd's hand in grabbing the perimeter.
Now I'm just waiting for the ticket to open, hopefully I can pick a weekend and a nice day when he's not busy.
While passing by the bakery, Fang Zhiran stopped by and bought the same bread as today's elder brother.
At that time at noon he watched his senior brother eat quite well, with a mysterious smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Student, your bread, please take it." The clerk said.
"Thanks." Fang Zhiran took the bread, found a seat by the window of the bakery, and shaved Su Jia from the list.
[F]: Sima Linghan, come out.
[ Su Jia ]: Ah ah ah ah ah ah don't call big names.
[ Su Jia ]: I just saw that your family's winter teacher is having a meet and greet, why is he so active lately like he's come back to life?
[F]: Is there anything to prepare for going to a meetup?
[ Su Jia ]: You're a frequent attendee of Comic-Con and an official cosplayer, so you shouldn't need to ask me this question.
Makes sense, Fang Zhiran goes on the big one, clicks on the homepage of one of his big fans, and refreshes.
[Yesterday 18:09:00]
@Waiting for a snow (同好互关): I've seen Snowflakes' recent itinerary and have prepared this elk hair band [图片], so I'll let Snowflakes wear it on his head.
Fang Zhiran: "?"
No, it doesn't apply.
He refreshes again.
[Just now]
@WaitingForSnow (fellow shut-in): @WinterSmall Snowflakes, why are you interviewing me?
Fang Zhiran: "......"
What? Visitor logs as real-time surveillance swipes ah.
After eating the indescribably awful bread and returning from the bakery to the dormitory, Fang Zhiran spent the evening trolling through Big Fan's Twitter feed, finding nothing to copy for the giveaway except flowers.
23:44:03
[ Su Jia ]: How?
[F]: All bad ideas. Forget it, the opening time is not even set, take your time to prepare, there's no rush.
[F]: It's just a meet and greet, I'm too much of an adult in my 20's to be so excited that I can't sleep.
03:45:23
[F]: Hey, I'm too excited to sleep.

Next day.
U of A Master's and Doctoral Programs Forum - School of Physics Section
[Hasn't double eleven passed? Why are there so many couriers at the courier station.]
1L (Acknowledgements are good at thanking yourself): Shallow look, the recipients are all little cumin from our physics school.
2L (Sheng Jiang): Little Ziran? Fang Zhiran?
3L (entering Qian Men to pick up money): I saw that too, is Fang Zhiran going to open a supermarket?
4L (Lifelike): borrowed a cart and carried it all back for Master! Cow and horse wiping sweat.jpg
Lao Guo's office, Fang Zhiran used the empty space in front of the mirror as a catwalk.
The crowd was very supportive, giving him applause and cheers.
"The set just now is cool, this one is fresh." Pan Xu shook the textbook in his hand, "I vote for this set."
"I like that one." Gan Wanhe said, "Our Fang Zhiran in black is just like a schoolboy."
The two men argued about each other.
The door handle of the office was twisted and Ji Xingchuan appeared in the doorway.
Ji Xingchuan: "......"
"I now, every time I turn this doorknob." Ji Xingchuan says, "It's like changing the channel on the TV remote control, never knowing what new program you guys can come up with for me."
"Right." Gan Wanhe says, "Fang Zhiran, you can ask Brother Ji, he's pretty good at aesthetics."
"Indeed." Pan Xu's eyes lit up, "Didn't he dress up every day a while ago? Sucked in a big wave of pre-candidates for us Guo Men."
Fang Zhiran: "!!!"
"Senior Xing Chuan!" He stepped forward.
Fang Zhiran invites you to join the game and wonder.
"Why did you suddenly buy so many clothes?" Ji Xingchuan asked.
"Because ......" Fang Zhiran twisted, "I have to accompany a friend to meet a pretty important friend."
Gotta look good in it.
Can't let Mr. Winter see him as the dirt dog he usually is as a researcher.
He, the winter teacher's radio administrator, had to dress to impress.
Ji Xingchuan stared at him for a moment and said, "Actually, you can ...... just wear it."
"No." Fang Zhiran shook his head, "Not casually."
Mr. Snowflakes is going to be the hottest boy at the winter meet.
The lab wasn't busy at the moment, so Ji Xingchuan couldn't persuade him, so he stayed in the office for a while and helped him pick out a set of clothes.
"Does it really look good?" Fang Zhiran spins at high speed in front of the mirror in his office, looking at the front and the back.
"Enough." Ji Xingchuan's head got big, "I think it's already pretty!"
Fang Zhiran: "......"
Oh ......
Brother Xing Chuan cannot represent Mr. Winter, he can only be a reference first, he has to ask Mr. Winter's opinion again.
In the late afternoon, Ji Xingchuan had just saved a document and was about to find a place to take a nap when he received a new message on Weibo.
[Winter's Little Snowflakes]: Winter Sensei, excuse me, would you quickly give me a reference as to which of the following outfits would be more flattering to my temperament.
Ji Xingchuan: "......"
[Voice Actor - Winter]: The fifth set is nice, but the seventh set definitely suits you better and flatters your temperament.
[ Winter's Little Snowflakes ]: Good!
Fang Zhiran, kinda strict.
[Winter's Little Snowflakes]: [Photo] x20, Teacher, please, you see, which of the following bouquets looks more beautiful with the color scheme.
Fresh issues, like Ji Xingchuan.
[Voice Actor - Winter]: 9th one looks good with a fresh color scheme, and the 20th one is good too, with a nice wrap and a good moral.
[Winter's Little Snowflakes]: Well, I believe in your vision.
The corners of Ji Xingchuan's mouth curved as he picked up the cup of water on the table and sipped his tea comfortably.
The next second, the office door slammed open.
Fang Zhiran lined up the twenty printed photos in his hand on his senior's desk.
"Xing Chuan." Fang Zhiran said, "Use your excellent aesthetics to help me decide which bouquet of flowers would be more elegant and delightful to send out."
Ji Xingchuan: "......"
"The twentieth one looks good, the way it's wrapped is unusual, the flowers are well chosen, and the floral phrases are all quite auspicious." He said.
"Good! Thank you, Senior." Fang Zhiran rolled the photos on the table into his book bag with a huff and slammed the door and left again.
Right behind him, Pan Xu pushes the door open.
"Hey? What's wrong with you, Elder Brother Ji?" Pan Xu asked, "What are you doing holding your head?"
Ji Xingchuan : "...... is fine."
It's just that talking twice every day with his youngest brother's is draining him.
"Ji Xingchuan, in or out?" Mr. Qian pushed the door in, "Lao Guo, do you have a backup of the experimental data from last April?"
Ji Xingchuan and Pan Xu were furious.
Mr. Qian: "Don't be shocked, I told him it's a reference, nothing else ...... ouch."
The old wooden door to the office swung twice and banged to the floor.
Mr. Qian looked at the only door knob left in his hand, and decided to ask Lao Guo to pay more money for the moral damage.

Over the course of a week, Fang Zhiran worked with multiple references and bounced between two reliable adults, Mr. Winter and Xing Chuan, to come up with a plan for the meetup.
He has organized everything from what to wear and give as a gift to what to say in greeting.
[F]: [Winter Meet and Greet Program]
[ Su Jia ]: Suggest that will be the month of media HR recruit you on the job, their internal planning may not be as detailed as you this.
[F]: Everything is ready to go.
[F]: Now it's just a matter of waiting for Will Moon to announce the opening of the ticket.
[ Su Jia ]: Do you need me to rob it for you?
[F]: No, no, no, that hand speed of yours only adds a little engagement.
[F]: Little Snowflakes can't be beat in a ticket contest.
From what he knew about the company, Will Moon Media, the first week after the reveal, Will Moon would release the time to grab the tickets, which was now.
Gotta give these Sounders a taste of the Snowflakes dad shock.
Fang Zhiran sits at his desk, reverently facing his cell phone, waiting for the good news.
20pm.
[A new development has been posted by your special interest @GeneralMoonMedia.]
Here it comes, Good News as expected.
Fang Zhiran clicked Dynamic.
[@Shogetsu Media: We've been waiting for you, and in accordance with the company's "Voice Actor Meet and Greet Program," we've set the opening time for Mr. Winter's meet and greet for this Saturday night at 18:00].
Yeah, Fang Zhiran jumped up.
Now just wait until Saturday and I'll have my tickets.
The next second, a new message popped up in the college group-
[Graduate Students' Association of the School of Physics]: Receiving the notice from the college, an academic meeting will be held in Room 101 of the School of Physics at 2:00 p.m. on this Saturday, please arrive on time for all students and teachers attending the meeting.
[Institute of Physics Research]: Please do a good job of welcoming teachers and students from outside schools at that time, and make sure to show the excellent style of our physics students.
[Graduate Student Association of the School of Physics]: It is expected that each person will have 10 minutes for reporting and 15 minutes for Q&A, and the preliminary estimate of the end time is 18:00 p.m. Please report carefully and answer questions carefully.
Fang Zhiran: "?"
Meanwhile, two text messages came in -
[Unknown number]: Airfare bought, papers prepared, Saturday afternoon, showdown at the top of physics.
[Unknown number]: Fang Zhiran, come with me for an overtime debate on physics. Whoever wusses out is a grandson.
[F]: Sun Tzu, you need overtime to deal with you?
[Unknown number]: Just keep your mouth shut.
The timing of this, how did it all collide? He also happened to be the last to report.
Fang Zhiran cos the ants on the hot pan, spinning in the dormitory.
In the middle of the day, he tapped on Su Jia's chat screen.
[F]: I will commit to your hands.
[ Su Jia ]: ......
