Chapter 114: He Came at Just the Right Time

"Wrong!"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Meng Ziyi, who was shopping outside with Li Yitong, looked curious; why was she so startled?

Li Yitong smiled awkwardly. "Nothing, I was just scaring you."

"What's that about~" Meng Ziyi rolled her eyes, looking very pretentious.

If it were someone unfamiliar, they'd probably think she was a green tea, but fortunately, Li Yitong was used to it by now.

This little girl was just like that.

Not only did she not blame her, but she even felt some sympathy for her.

Watching Meng Ziyi, who was still enthusiastically picking out a belt for Bai Liang, Li Yitong felt that as a best friend, shouldn't she help out?

The two of them had even tried to think of ways to "slay men" together before.

But now it seemed that the one they were supposed to "slay" had some major issues!

When they returned, taking advantage of Meng Ziyi going back to her room to shower and change, Li Yitong strolled directly to Bai Liang's room.

The door wasn't even closed.

At this time, Bai Liang was lying on the sofa playing with the puppy, holding a small ball, throwing it for the puppy to fetch back.

After it was done, he would hold the puppy and pet its head, as if giving a reward.

The scene was incredibly harmonious.

Watching this, Li Yitong felt it was like a mother going out and a father staying home to take care of the child; he was quite patient.

She, who had originally been nervous about running into a male artist's room, suddenly felt her mindset relax quite a bit.

It felt just like coming home.

Bai Liang: I really have taken care of children before~

"You're here? Where's my belt?"

"The belt is with Sister Meng; she's hiding it like a treasure, she definitely wants to give it to you personally."

"Then this is... don't close the door, be careful of rumors." Bai Liang reminded her immediately upon seeing Li Yitong subconsciously reaching out to close the door.

"Wow, you're so protective of your male virtue?"

"I'm clearly thinking of you. What if people find out and you can't get married later?" Bai Liang said casually.

"If I can't get married, I'll just latch onto you~"

Li Yitong regretted saying this as soon as it left her mouth, but after hearing Bai Liang's answer, her regret turned into anger.

"Latch onto me? I don't want that, you're not doing well." Bai Liang said very honestly, implying that if two "poor ghosts" were together, the children wouldn't even be able to eat a hot meal.

Li Yitong was the "most miserable" female artist he had ever seen playing a female lead; she earned so little.

The few coins in her pocket were probably all spent on her face and body.

Then he remembered something. "Do you remember Li Qin?"

"Li Qin? What does she have to do with anything?"

"You two look so much alike, and she debuted a long time ago, but she's still not very popular. I'm worried you'll end up like her."

This remark made Li Yitong, who was about to have black lines appear on her head, really start to mutter.

It seemed... there was some truth to it.

When Jin Cheng said she and Li Yitong were classmates, Meng Ziyi was so surprised because Jin Cheng had debuted four years earlier.

But in reality, Li Qin, a senior who debuted in 2008, was actually younger than Li Yitong.

Not by much, twenty days.

Their birth dates were twenty days apart, but she was already a senior who had debuted for nearly eight years.

In the entertainment industry, they couldn't even be considered the same generation of actors; they were truly a generation apart.

And looking at Li Qin's resume, she wasn't in a situation where she lacked resources or support; she had played many female leads, but just didn't make a splash.

Li Yitong suddenly associated this with herself; although her debut time was short, she was also playing female leads.

A sense of panic inexplicably rose to her head; could it be that this look was just hard to make popular?

They say small popularity depends on support, big popularity depends on fate... did their faces lack the "popularity" element?

"Hey, what are you thinking about?"

Bai Liang picked up the puppy and handed it to Li Yitong. Feeling the warmth and wetness of the puppy licking her hand, Li Yitong suddenly "came alive."

She suddenly felt she was thinking too much; how could she scare herself like that?

At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door. "The door isn't closed, Great Immortal, I'm leaving too, thanks for yesterday."

The person who arrived was Han Dongjun. This guy seemed to have sobered up and felt a bit embarrassed coming to say goodbye. But after entering and seeing Li Yitong sitting next to Bai Liang, he was shocked.

Good, good, good! As expected of you!

I knew it, how could the Great Immortal only stir up trouble in their Tang Ren crew? He must be spreading the love everywhere.

Didn't he meet Nazha on the *God of War, Zhao Zilong* set?

And now this *Legend of the Condor Heroes* female lead?

Excuse me, brother, I really came at the wrong time.

No, he came at just the right time.

After seeing Han Dongjun, Li Yitong suddenly had an "epiphany."

Just look at this guy, listless, looking tired, his neck red... even his clothes were messy, looking flustered; he clearly "did something bad" last night.

At the same time, although Bai Liang had exploded the popularity a while ago, Han Dongjun and Jin Cheng were actually hyping a CP.

Thinking about it this way, Li Yitong suddenly felt she had "solved the case" again.

Please... you... bookmark 6...9...book....!

She immediately felt she had "wronged" Bai Liang; clearly, this guy even went out for a run this morning.

How could someone be so self-disciplined after playing around like that?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

"Your eyes tell me you seem to want to apologize to me for something?"

As soon as Bai Liang said this, Li Yitong felt ashamed, thinking, are you really a Great Immortal? You can even see this?

"I..."

"It's okay, no need to apologize." Bai Liang answered directly.

Although he didn't know what it was, he didn't care; since the girl knew she was wrong, there was no need to quibble.

Actually, he could "guess" it; at most, she just talked bad about him to Meng Ziyi.

A girl's best friend is a creature that often exists in a state of quantum superposition.

You never know what kind of stunts they can pull.

Including but not limited to: frantically urging a breakup, digging into the relationship, blocking happiness, and taking over the leftovers.

Watching the puppy struggling to break free from her arms and wanting to return to Bai Liang, Li Yitong felt guilty again.

Just like how people speak their hearts when they cry.

Once this guilt came up, she always wanted to do something to make up for it, even though she had already been "forgiven" by Bai Liang in advance.

"When I was shopping before, I picked out a tie, do you need one?"

Bai Liang's expression became inexplicably strange, and the puppy Chocolate, which had just climbed into his hands, seemed to understand and looked up at Li Yitong.

He pondered for a moment and said tactfully, "I think you should focus your energy on your career for now."

This sentence couldn't be pondered; once pondered, his face turned red.

Oh no, he wouldn't think I'm confessing, right?

Li Yitong quickly explained, "You misunderstood!"

Bai Liang smiled. Alright, he hoped he had misunderstood.

It was just that the tie Li Yitong gave him was a bit old-fashioned.

Who knows who this thing was originally bought for.

Since becoming an actor, the gifts Bai Liang received often had that strange attribute of "a daughter buying for her father."

Who knows if he intercepted it, or if the girls just used similar excuses.

But Bai Liang had a lot of experience in receiving gifts from girls.

He had no psychological pressure; if you dare to give, I dare to receive.

That afternoon, when they set off to record *Day Day Up*, the new LV belt and Dior tie appeared on Bai Liang.

Seeing this extra "equipment" on her Brother Bai Liang, Yan Zi felt her eyelids twitching.

Did he "go wild" and explode some equipment again?

The belt Jin Cheng gave him just broke, and now a new one... and two at once?

He learned the rhetorical device of "analogy" in middle school; he didn't expect to have another lesson today.

A broken belt symbolizes that a certain short-term relationship has also temporarily broken.

And when will the new belt and tie break?

Who knows how that Hermès belt broke; Yanzi found it hard to imagine how this thing could be used to break it.

Good things should be used with extra care; she had never seen anyone step on the gas so hard while driving a supercar.

Unless they really drove too much and got used to it.
