This story needs to start with the geographical distribution of the carving circle in China’s snowboarding community. As previously discussed by two passersby, due to the diversification of snowboarding styles and the lack of interaction between them, a strange phenomenon has emerged—
The top carving experts, led by Shan Chong, are mostly based in Chongli, where they focus on park terrain features.
Meanwhile, carving experts led by Jiang Ran, Li Xingnan, and others are concentrated in Jilin.
The two groups know of each other, but not very well. Except for those at the top of the pyramid, mentioning someone like Qiu Nian in Chongli would likely result in blank stares: “Huh? Who?”
There’s a lack of communication and a divergence in styles.
This has led to Chongli’s carving community resembling lone wolves, while those in Jilin jumping in terrain parks are like a group of little frogs chanting, “Gu gua gu gua (*lonely).”
But somehow, the lone wolves of Chongli gradually gained recognition in the carving community, often repeating the phrase:
“Jilin has Jiang Ran; Chongli has Beijiao.”
It created a vibe of East Heretic, West Poison.
However, today’s incident shattered the dreams of many who secretly thought, “Envy us Chongli’s multi-line development and all-around excellence, hehehe,” when Beijiao shouted “Master!” to someone at the A-cable car of Songbei Ski Resort in Jilin.
At that moment, various snowboarding groups showed their respect for this year’s first major snowboarding gossip, with almost every group going wild with messages—
Passerby A: Breaking news from Songbei Ski Resort today—the last hope of Chongli carving is actually a local Jilin kid, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! (IP: Jilin City, Jilin Province)
Passerby B: The schadenfreude upstairs is too obvious; now I’m feeling pretty bad=L= (IP: Chongli, Zhangjiakou)
Passerby C: How could this be! No way! Why! How could they be master and apprentice? How could they be a couple!
Passerby D: Any Songbei friends out there? I need a field reporter to interview on-site—I really can’t wrap my head around this. How did these two become master and apprentice? And how did they become a couple? If they’re master and apprentice, why did Beijiao spend nearly two snow seasons in Chongli? Did they even interact at all? Jiang Ran’s apprentice is Beijiao? I’m so confused, and then they became a couple?
Passerby E: Need a reporter +1.
Passerby F: Need a reporter +2.
Passerby G: Need a reporter +3.
…
For a moment, everyone’s disbelief peaked, thinking this must be an early April Fools’ joke.
And at this very moment.
In such a buzzing atmosphere, Beijiao, despite making such a big news splash today, remained humble and continued calling his students for today’s group lesson…
Then, before anyone could react, he led a group of students toward the cable car.
Before leaving, he didn’t forget to turn around and ask Jiang Ran: “Coming?”
Jiang Ran stood still.
So, as if the crowd wasn’t shocked enough, Beijiao repeated in a nasal tone that everyone thought they had time-traveled to a parallel universe: “Hmm? Come on.”
Everyone was still stunned when the students participating in today’s group lesson unexpectedly gained another industry legend—
In the gondola cabin Beijiao boarded, Jiang Ran, holding her board, emotionlessly followed in and sat beside him.
The students squeezed into the gondola with the two shoulder-to-shoulder legends, shocked and trembling.
Unable to contain themselves, they shouted in the group chat, as if the person sitting across from them in the gondola was actually Andy Lau and Maggie Cheung.
The group members were also very supportive. Upon learning that this lucky student had become the closest witness to the couple at the center of the gossip, they encouraged him to become the temporary field reporter.
The group was truly both timid and playful.
At once, the on-site reporter pulled out his phone, cleared his throat, and read aloud the most popular question from the group: “Ran Jie, this gossip lover has a few questions—not sure if I should ask—”
Jiang Ran moved her lips but said nothing.
Beijiao placed his hand on her shoulder, lifted a strand of her hair, and lazily said, “We’re in the middle of a regular argument. She’s not in a good mood right now, so if you ask her, nothing is off-limits.”
Field reporter Cha: “…”
[Songbei Ski Resort Chief Field Reporter: Help! I ate a mouthful of dog food right at the start of the interview!]
[Songbei Ski Resort Chief Field Reporter: …………Who changed my group nickname! Brilliant!]
The field reporter held his phone like a microphone and handed it to Jiang Ran: “May I ask when you became Master Beijiao’s master?”
Jiang Ran looked down at the phone with the recording button already pressed, thought for a moment, and said, “A few years ago, the first time he put on snow boots was when I helped him.”
The field reporter was quite surprised; his hand slipped, and the audio was “whooshed” out.
In the group, the gossipmongers started not only typing question marks but also digging through old posts, eventually unearthing a short video Jiang Ran had shared three or four years ago, introducing her beloved apprentice—a local stray dog.
(Note: “猹” is a term from Lu Xun’s “The True Story of Ah Q,” referring to nosy or gossipy individuals. Here, it’s translated as “gossipmongers” to convey the tone. The brackets in the original text indicate contextual clarification, so “a local mutt” is rendered naturally as “a local stray dog.”)
Although the person in the video had a different hairstyle and less advanced carving skills compared to Beijiao, full of youthful naivety, it didn’t stop everyone from instantly recognizing him: regardless of body shape or the blurry facial features in the video, he indeed looked a lot like their Beijiao.
Everyone tagged Beijiao, shocked by his stage name.
A relative watching the fun in the group, Big Head, suddenly enlightened everyone—
[Big Head: So that’s why we’ve always called him ‘Dog Brother.’ Didn’t anyone find it strange why we called him that?]
Prompted by Big Head, everyone’s archaeological timeline returned to the same year in Xinjiang, where they remembered an amateur competition at Jiangjun Mountain, where Jiang Ran’s apprentice, a local mutt, emerged as a rookie and swept the competition, winning a limited-edition BC sticker…
Later on, people said that the mutt back then was probably not himself but Jiang Ran in disguise, just to get the sticker.
So where’s the sticker?
[Big Head: «Picture»]
Big Head casually posted a recent screenshot from Beijiao’s short video app. In the picture, his red tree accompanied his jump, and the limited-edition BC sticker sparkled under the sunlight, emitting a rainbow sheen.
The group chat’s lively screen suddenly paused for a few seconds, and everyone started typing “…”.
Amid the shock of everyone’s jaws dropping, the field reporter bravely raised his phone again: “May I ask when the two of you got together?”
Jiang Ran: “Not long after getting the sticker.”
Field reporter Cha: “That doesn’t make sense! If you were together, why did you live separately for years as if you never met? Why did Brother Dog go to Chongli!”
Jiang Ran: “Take a look at Beijiao’s WeChat Moments background—”
Beijiao, surprised: “You noticed my WeChat Moments background!”
“Don’t talk, lovebird.” Jiang Ran stared straight at the field reporter without looking sideways, paused, and continued, “Beijiao’s first snow season after learning to snowboard was indeed at Songbei Ski Resort. His WeChat Moments background is a group photo taken in 2020 when Songbei Ski Resort closed early due to the pandemic.”
This voice message was sent out, and those in the group who were Beijiao’s WeChat friends began to frantically take screenshots.
The two people in the group photo that was separately cropped out from Beijiao’s Moments background.
Everyone was too busy being shocked by their own lack of insight to mock his old-fashioned and ridiculousness—
[So the blurry person in the photo that even their mom wouldn’t recognize is Jiang Ran! I’m so shocked I wouldn’t have guessed in a million years!]
[666666 wow?]
[It really is the top of Songbei A-cable!]
[I remember, I remember, I was there back then, but I completely forgot that Jiang Ran was always with her apprentice, Beijiao!]
[So why didn’t he stay in Jilin later? Hurry up, it’s like chasing a novel update and the author is really good at leaving a cliffhanger without updating twice, it’s so frustrating!]
Jiang Ran glanced at her phone screen: “We had a fight, temporarily broke up, I told him to get lost and not to show up in front of me for three years… so he went to Chongli. Strictly speaking, it hasn’t been three years yet.”
Group chat gossipers: …
Who in their right mind would have a “temporary breakup” that lasts three years!
Most people would have forgotten their ex’s name after three years, at most remembering their gender!
Unfortunately, the parties involved think it’s perfectly normal, even speaking in a calm tone.
Beijiao: “What three years… the Winter Olympics, Chongli was locked down, who could have predicted this—I was dealing with force majeure.”
Jiang Ran gave a slight scoff.
Beijiao sent a voice message to the group using his own phone: “When I got to Chongli, I kept learning from Ran’s… Jiang Ran’s instructional videos. When I did my first nollie 360°, I watched her video hundreds of times. Back then, I even dreamed of her voice.”
His voice carried a smile.
“So, the master is a genuine master. I learned to snowboard, never from anyone else.”
It’s rare for outsiders to see him like this, breaking his usual persona. From memory, he’s always been aloof and reserved, barely ever posting in groups, and when he does, it’s just text.
Some snow friends haven’t even heard him speak before, sighing: Gosh! His voice is so nice! And to find out on the day they announced their relationship—what a cruel twist of fate!
Sitting beside Beijiao, Jiang Ran felt a bit reflective at this moment—there had been rumors before that he learned flatland tricks by secretly watching her videos, after all, this dog is really good at analyzing videos. Now that he’s confirmed it in person, she mumbled vaguely: “Absurd.”
He scoffed, his fingers brushing along her temple, her long hair making a “rustling” sound.
Field reporter Cha: “So, what about your recent girlfriend that was reported—”
Beijiao: “We had just gotten back together then.”
Jiang Ran: “Occasionally doing some BaZi carving isn’t illegal, is it?”
Beijiao: “As for crying in the gondola because of snowboarding technique issues—”
Jiang Ran: “Purely a rumor.”
Beijiao nodded, generously saying: “Yeah, I did make her cry, but it had nothing to do with snowboarding skills. I don’t have that ability.”
In other words, he had other abilities, but no one dared to ask what those were.
By now, the questions that puzzled people were more or less explained.
Beijiao’s nickname “Dog Brother” became the hottest term of the day. Everyone started acting like Sherlock Holmes, switching from Jiang Ran’s short video app to Beijiao’s…
All in the name of chasing a piece of old gossip and looking for any hidden clues.
In the end, someone sighed: “It’s not even the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year yet, and the year is still going on. Isn’t it festive?”
…
The interview ended, and the gondola returned to a brief silence.
At this moment, the gondola was just passing the midpoint station, the door opened and closed again. Beijiao turned his face sideways, looking at the middle-aged staff member outside, and suddenly seemed to remember something, his lips curving slightly.
Jiang Ran lifted her eyelids slightly, knowing he was thinking about that incident a few months ago when he made her cry on the gondola. She clicked her tongue and tried to break free, but he firmly held her in place.
Beijiao lazily glanced at the few passersby in the gondola who were clearly waiting for more gossip.
With one hand holding his phone, he opened the notes app and typed a message to Jiang Ran: [Don’t be mad, weren’t you really cute that day?]
Jiang Ran’s eyelashes trembled. She grabbed the phone and typed back:
[Not mad at all, weren’t you really like a thug that day?]
He leaned close to her ear, whispering some messy, dirty words.
Beijiao stared at the phone screen without any rebuttal, his dark pupils shimmering, his thin lips always slightly curved: “I know I was wrong.”
Then he refused to change.
At this moment, staring at the two in front of them, one with a normal expression and the other with a somewhat sour face, the field reporter nervously raised his phone and asked: “After asking so many questions… well, may I take a photo of you two?”
Beijiao was indifferent, turning to look at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran pulled down her goggles and generously said: “Wait, let me put on some lipstick?”
A few minutes later, the two’s photo once again flooded the group chats—
In the photo, Jiang Ran was sitting with her arms crossed and one leg casually over the other, relaxed and cocky, facing the phone camera with a blank expression;
Beside her sat a tall black-haired young man who was even taller than her, his arm casually draped over her head, his long fingers entwining in her hair, letting the soft, curly strands wrap around his fingers. He wasn’t looking at the camera, but slightly turned his head, gazing down at the woman he had pulled into his arms.
Never had there been such a classic image of a perfect couple.
Who would dare say they don’t suit each other?
The photo received countless likes as soon as it was posted, and Beijiao took a look and was quite satisfied.
“At least we have a proper couple photo now.”
He mumbled, casually downloading the original image from a snowboarding group, and immediately changed his phone’s lock screen wallpaper to this couple photo.
Then he immediately updated his WeChat Moments background, changing it to a solo photo of Jiang Ran—
In the photo, Jiang Ran was well wrapped up, making it hard to tell who she was. However, the woman in the picture was riding a BC carving board, her long hair flying, looking heroic and vigorous. Even in a still image, the sense of power was fully displayed…
In China, there’s probably no other female snowboarder with such an aura.
Beijiao casually updated his WeChat profile as well, changing it from [↑ When can I post your solo photo] to [↑ Your solo photo is up].
People who had added Beijiao on WeChat found that upon refreshing, his WeChat name had changed from the bland 【Beijiao】 to 【My Duck】.
His profile picture had also changed from a generic emoji to a small frog holding a lotus leaf. The frog wore a tie, clearly indicating it was a male frog holding the lotus leaf.
He changed everything he could, except for the WeChat chat background set years ago—pictures of General Mountain at sunset and a secretly taken photo of Jiang Ran’s back.
In a certain group chat, Li Xingnan @’d Beijiao.
【Second Car: ?】
【Second Car: Wow, @Whose Ranran Duck @My Duck】
【Second Car: @My Duck, bro, redecorating your WeChat? You changed everything you could. Who are you?】
【My Duck: “Shy” “Shy” “Shy” “Shy”】
【Passerby Uncle: @My Duck I just recalled, a couple of months ago when you mentioned having a girlfriend, we ran into Li Xingnan and Jiang Ran at Tieguo Stew, didn’t we? Towards the end of the meal, you and Jiang Ran were sitting extremely close—your arms were almost touching.】
【My Duck: Yeah, so what?】
【Passerby Uncle: So back then, you two were…】
【My Duck: Yeah.】
【My Duck: We were secretly holding hands.】
The group chat was once again flooded with “……”.
Sitting next to Beijiao, Jiang Ran didn’t hesitate to take out her phone, chose to leave the group, refusing to endure the humiliation any longer.
…
After listening to gossip all the way, it was time for class once they reached the mountain top. It was primarily Beijiao’s session, while Jiang Ran, hands tucked in her pockets, crouched nearby like an old man keeping watch.
This time’s group lesson was still a basic carving class, consisting of newcomers who had just switched to regular stance and were preparing to get started.
The club owner chose Beijiao to teach, primarily because he was good-looking and popular, secondly because he skied well, and finally because Beijiao had previously expressed the desire to no longer teach beginner snowboarding exclusively—he was ready to start offering advanced lessons. Therefore, this free public group lesson was the perfect opportunity for him to gain experience.
Beijiao first explained the basic carving stance on flat ground—
Although he had little experience teaching carving, he taught them the same way he had taught Atuan.
“Open your shoulders and hips, bend your knees, and keep your core tight. Remember, in carving, touching the snow is merely a superficial result of high edge angle and low posture, not your ultimate goal.”
As he spoke, Beijiao crouched into a basic front-edge stance, “I follow the JSBA system, emphasizing stability at high speed, using your hips to control the board—”
Suddenly unsure if he was correct, he turned to look at Jiang Ran.
A bold student joked, “Ran Jie, Jiao Shen is asking for your opinion!”
Jiang Ran didn’t move, shrugging slightly, “Asking for my opinion? He learned exactly the same way I did. Whatever I taught him, he’s teaching you. If he’s wrong, it’s because I taught him wrong first.”
In her casual tone, Beijiao was slightly stunned for three seconds. Even now, she constantly criticized his skiing posture—
He was so used to hearing things like, “I should just cut off your back leg so it won’t flail,” “Is your waist broken? Why is your up-and-down movement so slow?” “Your core is all over the place,” and “What kind of skiing is that?” until his ears were calloused…
At this moment, she suddenly stopped criticizing him.
She gave him face like this.
He actually felt a bit unaccustomed.
Beijiao awkwardly scratched his face with one finger.
“Really? You two ski exactly the same?” a student asked, eyes wide.
Jiang Ran glanced over. It was the girl who had handed Beijiao candy earlier. She replied indifferently, “Yeah, you ski like whoever you learned from. That’s normal. JSBA can’t produce a disciple of SAJ. If you don’t believe me, go compare our skiing videos later.”
The student exclaimed, “Wow!”
Jiang Ran gave her a couple more glances.
But soon she realized the girl was simply admiring Beijiao’s technique—she was one of his rare female technical fans. Throughout the class, she asked the most questions—
Whenever Beijiao was helping others, she would turn to ask Jiang Ran, who would explain a bit if she was in a good mood. Moreover, the girl’s questions were indeed relevant to what Beijiao had taught…
The class atmosphere was great, and the students learned a lot. As class was wrapping up, everyone was cheerful.
Before heading down the mountain for the last run.
The girl who had asked many questions throughout raised her hand and asked Beijiao, “Jiao Shen, can you ski a proper run so I can record a video for future self-study?”
Beijiao had spent 80% of his time later watching Jiang Ran’s instructional videos, and he believed this was a good learning method. He immediately agreed.
The girl quickly ran to the lower half of the slope, knelt down by the edge, raised her phone, aimed it at the group on the upper slope, and waved.
Beijiao set off after securing his board. By now, it was already afternoon, and the snow on the slope was uneven, so Beijiao kept his center of gravity low.
His hand brushed the snow surface, his peripheral vision catching the swirling snowflakes dancing in the sunlight—
His skiing was stable. Even with many moguls on the slope, his board still cut through them decisively and sharply. From afar, he seemed unaffected by the poor snow conditions at all.
Every time he switched edges, the hand touching the ground would lift, along with snow stirred up by his glove, like the popular game of throwing water into ice, scattering snowflakes everywhere!
As Beijiao skied, he realized many students were filming, and suddenly had the urge to show off. So during a back-edge turn, he suddenly brushed his right hand across the ground and pushed hard!
Before everyone’s eyes, the young man with black hair, who had been skiing fast and steadily just a second ago, suddenly jumped high. He jumped quite high, and the red and black board bottom was clearly captured by the people filming from below!
Under the dazzling sunlight, his jump was decisive and powerful—
The high-speed skiing generated the jump, turning his nollie 540° into a direction perpendicular to the slope.
Amidst everyone’s admiration, his snowboard “pah” landed heavily—
At the same time, almost simultaneously, he heard another snowboard slam onto the ground behind him!
Shocked, after returning to the basic front-edge stance, he glanced back and found Jiang Ran following him.
At this moment, Jiang Ran was also maintaining the front-edge stance. When Beijiao rose to flip and switch edges, she also assumed the same stance.
Until, at high speed, the two maintained a steady distance, both gliding past the central camera position on the slope!
Beijiao suddenly braked and turned around, only to see Jiang Ran already sliding toward someone on her board, decisively squatting down beside her, “Send me the video.”
…
A few days later, Jiang Ran and Beijiao’s synchronized carving videos were being shared across various carving groups.
In the video, it was clear that the young man with black hair in front was completely unaware of someone following him, while Jiang Ran behind was clearly matching his rhythm—
Like a mirrored copy on the same slope.
【They really ski exactly the same, from the folding angle, to the pressing height, and finally, almost even the palm orientation angle and the small habitual hand-raising movement when switching edges!】
A line of commentary floated across the synchronized carving video currently playing.
In the comments, viewers could see Beijiao skiing very seriously in the video. The sudden initiation of the Nollie 540° was unexpected, perhaps a spontaneous decision—he just did it—
It was amazing that Jiang Ran immediately grasped his intention!
“When his body suddenly leaned forward toward the board’s tip during the turn exit and his hand tensed up, I knew exactly what he wanted.”
In the live stream on the short video app, Jiang Ran looked at the barrage of questions from fans asking, “How did you two coordinate the perfectly synchronized nollie 540°?” and answered calmly, “He can do a 540°, but a 720° is still far off. So I just joined him for a 540°.”
It turned out to be a form of overwhelming superiority.
At around four in the afternoon, it was already getting dark outside. Jiang Ran sat cross-legged on the living room carpet of the villa, live-streaming.
It wasn’t her idea to live-stream. The club owner had asked them to occasionally appear online to maintain visibility and promised gifts if club members streamed.
So Jiang Ran used Beijiao’s short video app account to start the live stream.
“This synchronized carving, I once recorded with Lin Shuang when her skiing was almost at graduation level. Now I’m recording it again.”
Actually, Jiang Ran wasn’t sure exactly when “Lin Shuang” suddenly stopped being a taboo. She could now mention the name calmly and recall the memories peacefully.
“It’s basically the same content, but your Dog Brother still falls a bit short compared to his senior sister.”
In the camera frame, the woman with her knees hugged smiled.
【How exactly did the master and apprentice end up skiing identically!】
“I’ve always said that skiing isn’t about right or wrong, it’s about style,” Jiang Ran said. “So don’t keep sending me private messages asking whether the instructor you found, who charges X amount per hour, is correct when they say this or that, and why it’s different from what I say…”
Jiang Ran continued, “Even within the JSBA system, some people prefer a racing style that requires both legs to bend, with the shin pressing against the front of the boot on the back edge. My style is more open, with the power applied to my back foot. Both are JSBA styles—there’s no right or wrong, just a matter of which skiing style you prefer.”
Jiang Ran paused, “Choosing a coach is the same. Not just for carving, but even for flatland tricks or park riding. When you reach the top, everyone has their own style. If you like someone’s style, learn from them.”
【What does it mean to be fully trained and graduate?】
“To be fully trained and graduate…”
Jiang Ran thought of the older guy she met at Sunac during summer. She immediately recognized him as her grand-student.
Thinking of this, she curled her lips slightly.
“When you’re on the slope and someone you don’t know at all asks you if you’re your teacher’s student—that’s when you’ve graduated!”
Just like Beijiao.
At least judging from the videos that had recently gone viral, his skiing style was now indistinguishable from Jiang Ran’s.
Now, if Jiang Ran wore the alias “A Local Dog” to competitions, or if “A Local Dog” wore a wig and used the alias “Jiang Ran” to indulge in free meals, no one might notice anything amiss.
【Ahhhhhhhh, she’s smiling.】
【Her lips can’t help but curl up when she mentions Jiao Shen!】
【Mom is so sweet, I want to fall in love!】
【Don’t ever say there’s no positive love stories in the snowboarding community. There’s Chong Ge and Dog Brother. Waaahhh, Chongli has such great people! It breeds only good men!】
The comments rolled in rapidly.
【So, where is my Dog Brother?】
While live-streaming on Beijiao’s account, Jiang Ran multitasked by using her own account to send Beijiao the most expensive gift in the live stream—a carnival.
The comments flooded with “66666666,” with someone jokingly suggesting: “Just give the money directly to Dog Brother instead of letting the platform middlemen profit.”
Jiang Ran ignored the comment and continued sending gifts until she became the top supporter and fan club leader in Beijiao’s live room.
The comments rolled even faster, exclaiming that Dog Brother missed the joy of being spoiled by a female boss, and asking where he went to cause trouble—
In short, everyone wanted to see the usually invisible Dog Brother in the live stream today!
From the stairs behind Jiang Ran, sounds emerged.
Beijiao, unaware of everything happening, came halfway down the stairs, carrying a pile of freshly collected clothes that were stacked like a small mountain and hadn’t been folded yet. He peeked out from the stairs, “Who are you talking to?”
Seeing Jiang Ran holding her phone, which displayed her own face, he slightly narrowed his eyes, “Who are you video calling?”
His voice suddenly became dangerous.
The comments screamed and rolled even more frantically, eager to see Dog Brother getting jealous, going crazy, or losing his composure—
In short, everyone wanted to see the usually calm Dog Brother in the live stream today!
Jiang Ran crouched with her knees hugged, chuckling to herself, thinking she wouldn’t let them see it.
By then, Beijiao had already rushed downstairs with the pile of clothes, muttering as he went, “I shouldn’t have been so nice to you. You bad woman, Uncle Jiang was right—nice guys are never appreciated by bad women. Knowing this, I still can’t help but throw myself at you. Guess what, I almost died falling while practicing 720s this afternoon. When I got home and saw that SF Express had delivered your team uniform, I was afraid you wouldn’t be used to the new clothes’ smell, so I immediately threw it into the washing machine. Now I’m diligently folding your clothes—”
As he spoke, he picked up one of the clothes from the pile.
It was a red-and-white Li-Ning brand shirt. On the sleeve he lifted, the embroidered five-star red flag gleamed clearly.
Jiang Ran watched helplessly as the comments in the live stream, which were joyfully flashing “Dog Brother” and “Hahahaha, the grumbling is so cute, help,” suddenly disappeared, as if everyone had fallen silent simultaneously for a few seconds.
Until someone typed 【……】.
Another person said, 【Well, I think that sleeve doesn’t seem to meet the standard specifications of the Heilongjiang team.】
Jiang Ran put down her phone and said to Beijiao, who was standing behind her, puzzled, “I’m live-streaming.”
Beijiao: “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
Jiang Ran: “It’s too late to start being tight-lipped now. Your little spoken essay might already be celebrated for generations to come.”
Beijiao: “…”
Beijiao: “You really are a bad woman.”
Jiang Ran, with a blank expression, picked up her phone and said to the people watching the live stream: “Yes, I’ve been recruited by the state. Remember that lunatic who was constantly at the bottom of the trending topics last month, the one who guarded the venue for the parallel conference of the Olympic Village in Chongli satellite venue? That was me, this bad woman.”
