Chapter 127: Gradually Starting to Attract Attention

The furniture shopping trip originally planned for the next day was canceled outright.

It wasn’t that Nazha’s sister interfered; it was mainly because Nazha caught a cold... and her sister had to take leave to stay and take care of her.

The cold winter punishes everyone who doesn’t respect it equally.

However, even though Nazha was sick, she still had a question.

That was, why was Bai Liang suddenly downstairs at her place last night?

Hmm... it must be because he likes her, and their hearts are in sync!

Of course, the correct answer was actually: Bai Liang wanted to go get two pairs of his underwear.

He had originally planned to have Nazha sneak them to him, but the other party was too impulsive...

Once bitten, twice shy; he would never dare to keep all his clothes in one place again.

In the end, he didn’t get the underwear, and he was even "eaten" by a "bad woman."

A total loss!

Fortunately, Nazha turned around and gave him an expensive high-end suit. Hey, it didn’t seem like a loss anymore.

A few kisses, and he got a suit worth at least two hundred thousand.

Even Little Six, the host who was becoming increasingly successful in Japan, didn’t have this kind of efficiency.

Of course, the suit was actually a birthday gift.

Every New Year was the peak period for Bai Liang to receive gifts.

It was practically like receiving New Year’s goods.

There were many gifts, but Nazha’s was the most expensive, and she even clearly remembered Bai Liang’s clothing size.

He didn’t know when she had collected that information; Bai Liang had certainly never told her.

He was quite touched, so he casually asked her if she wanted to get a marriage certificate to celebrate.

The other party, of course, refused him without hesitation.

This heartless woman was truly quite resolute; unlike Sister Meng, she didn’t even give a reason.

After the New Year, Bai Liang, carrying the "expectations of his family," returned to Shanghai to start this year’s work.

His family really couldn’t stand being forced to watch the dramas he acted in anymore; even his grandmother, who loved him most, said: "I’ve almost memorized the lines, my dear grandson, go film something new."

Carrying a pile of red envelope money given by his elders, Bai Liang arrived at his studio’s location.

Starting this year, the Bai Liang Studio was finally no longer a "three-no" small workshop.

Previously, the studio’s registered address used a vacant storefront owned by Yanzi’s family in Shanghai; there was no office space at all.

Now there was, but the place looked very familiar, because the landlord was Old Zhou.

This was originally the office for his modeling agency business, which had been directly renovated into the Bai Liang Studio.

Looking at it this way, of the studio’s three giants, only Bai Liang didn’t have property in Shanghai.

Yanzi teased him directly about this: "Brother Xiaobai, actually, you don’t have to pay social security for five full years; if you want to buy, there are other ways."

Old Zhou also indicated that as a native Shanghainese, he could also help.

But Bai Liang shook his head, saying that although he didn’t have a house in Shanghai, he had a home.

Not only did he have a home, but he was also like a cunning rabbit with three burrows.

Meng Ziyi was already urging Sister Qian to buy a house in Shanghai; compared to Nazha’s hard work to earn money, our Sister Meng very shamelessly chose to rely on her parents.

Plus, Bai Liang had a mobile RV home; in this situation, it really wasn’t easy for those paparazzi to corner him.

That’s right, he had already started being targeted by paparazzi.

It wasn’t because of the shipping with Meng Ziyi—those paparazzi really didn’t know who Sister Meng was—but because of Dilireba.

Reba had specifically reminded him to be a little careful, not to go to strange places and get photographed.

This statement was ambiguous, as if Bai Liang might go to a massage parlor.

However, the paparazzi had indeed been following her for some time, seemingly very eager to photograph photos of her and Bai Liang meeting in secret.

The reason they chose to follow her was mainly because her itinerary was transparent.

In comparison, Bai Liang’s whereabouts were too mysterious.

Staring at one to squat on the other—naturally, they chose to squat on Dilireba.

Laughing to death, they couldn’t photograph anything at all.

On the contrary, her "death itinerary" almost exhausted those paparazzi to the point of vomiting blood.

The only content they photographed was this young lady running out of the hotel late at night to buy snacks...

"It’s so strange, I’ve had a few shipping pairings, why is it that only Reba makes me targeted by paparazzi? Is it because she’s the most popular?"

"There’s that reason, but more likely it’s because you two are too secretive," Yanzi analyzed calmly.

"Secretive?"

"Yeah, in the previous pairings, Brother Xiaobai, you were always open about the business; this actually makes people feel it’s just for drama promotion. But with Sister Reba, it was actually because you were secretly photographed, and there was no interaction afterward. People feel that because you two avoid suspicion like that, the probability of something going on is actually higher."

Got it! And honestly, that sounded quite reasonable.

Over the next two days, Bai Liang really discovered the traces of paparazzi.

Fortunately, he had just moved his things out of Nazha’s place, because that rental apartment had been returned by Nazha.

Although they didn’t get to go offline to pick out furniture together, they had managed to get these things done online during the New Year.

Now, various furniture items were being moved into the new home one after another, but it would take at least some time before they could officially move in.

Nazha was afraid the formaldehyde hadn’t dissipated completely.

He didn’t know when the next "living together" would be; there was no hope in the short term. As for the paparazzi following Bai Liang, they had gained a little something.

Unfortunately, it had nothing to do with female celebrities.

During these few days in Shanghai, besides finishing magazine shoots and other work, Bai Liang took time every day to go to the track to play with cars.

In Yanzi’s words: "It’s over, Brother Xiaobai has money, and he’s going to start squandering it again!"

The first installment of his salary for *Princess Agents*, which was about to start filming, had already been transferred, plus the money from endorsements, and the not-too-large salary deposit from *Eternal Love*—Bai Liang suddenly had several million in his hands.

Oh right, he also received over a hundred thousand in New Year’s red envelopes; that had to be added too.

With money, according to Bai Liang’s consumption habits, it couldn’t last long at all.

Fortunately, he still knew to leave a sum of money in the studio’s account to support various expenses.

As for the rest...

What a coincidence, playing with cars was a great option.

This thing burns money; it’s not enough to just spend a little bit—it’s truly a very expensive hobby.

At the same time, in the professional car-playing community in Shanghai, the fame of Bai Mouren also began to gradually rise.

"Damn, there’s a suicidal lunatic on the track..."

Red Bull: "You are gradually starting to attract my attention, young man!"

Thanks to the paparazzi; if they hadn’t helped "promote" it, this matter wouldn’t have "broken the circle" so easily.

However, Bai Liang also learned what "fan circle girls" were because of this.

Even such a small hobby could make it to the hot search, and then girls started frantically praising him under his Weibo...

They probably couldn’t tell the difference between F1 and rally racing, nor did they know that the cars Schumacher and Han Han drove were completely different things.

But they dared to praise!

Don’t ask; if you ask, it’s "Our brother is the best! No matter what field he’s in."

Fortunately, there was no target to step on for the time being, otherwise, they would definitely be spraying against the fans of some other celebrity.

But it did trigger some "mockery" from passersby: "Do you really treat your brother as a god?"

In terms of academics, most people really couldn’t spray Bai Liang, because he really had exam results; this thing couldn’t be faked.

But now wanting to play with martial arts was somewhat excessive.

Experienced netizens felt that Bai Liang was just creating topics for himself and crafting a new persona.

The previous "Xiao Nai who walked out of a book" was already outrageous enough; besides the reveling book fans, many people were actually skeptical.

A top student, a professional e-sports player, and a bunch of skills and specialties?

Who are you kidding!

But at that time, they couldn’t find a good reason to refute it; after all, the top student part seemed true, he was indeed quite good at playing games as a professional player, and for the other unverified things, Bai Liang didn’t jump out and say he could do them.

But now it was different.

A new angle appeared: Playing with cars? Can you even play it well!

One year after his debut, sprayers finally began to appear in batches under Bai Liang’s Weibo.

"Brother Xiaobai, think on the bright side; recently, many sports brands and functional drinks have started contacting me, maybe there will be car brands later."

Yanzi had a different view; she didn’t have the stereotypical experience of an agent, so she could use her imagination when looking at things.

Anyway, a lot of money had already been spent; maybe there could be some feedback and harvest.

And having some sprayers was actually a good thing.

This was something Yanzi summarized with great surprise; after studying it for a long time, she really felt that the sprayers seemed to have helped.

Previously, Bai Liang’s Weibo was too "Buddhist"; besides the daily praise and screen-licking from fan circle girls, it was just a group of students making wishes there.

Harmony was good, but the heat couldn’t really be raised.

It all relied on the traffic from drama broadcasts and shipping.

Not enough!

In the traffic era, only those with traffic can eat everything.

Look, after the sprayers came, Bai Liang’s traffic actually improved visibly, and his topic popularity on the internet was higher.

It almost made Yanzi wish for more sprayers.

Bai Liang didn’t pay much attention to this; he was researching what kind of motorcycle he could hang on his RV.

He liked playing with four wheels, but two wheels were actually more exciting!

Against this background, he officially joined the cast of *Princess Agents*.

His entrance was quite high-profile, mainly because of his RV.

A privately customized thing, made into an off-road style, with a rugged industrial aesthetic in its appearance, ferocious and domineering.

Driving this thing into the crew was too flashy.

The RVs of the male and female leads weren’t as eye-catching as his.

He didn’t know if this was the reason, but during the first script exchange with the cast, Bai Liang found that the female lead, Zhao Liying, didn’t seem to be into him.

Her attitude couldn’t be called bad, but it wasn’t very enthusiastic.

Her speech was a bit cold and indifferent, and the smile on her face was also very formulaic.

Although Bai Liang had been obsessed with playing with cars recently, he entered the acting state as soon as he arrived on set. He had originally wanted to chat more with the female lead, because they had scenes together.

He also wanted to see how powerful this up-and-coming star, the most driven of the 85-flowers, really was, but he was met with a cold shoulder.

Eh~ strange.

The capybara was puzzled.
