Chapter 13

The film crew is like a small society; it seems to have no hierarchy, but in reality, the class structure is distinct.

Just like the "unspoken rules" Guli Nazha previously explained to Bai Liang, some things are common knowledge.

Bai Liang barged into this unfamiliar world; he wasn't overbearing, yet he still appeared a bit too unique.

He had his own sense of boundaries and limits. For example, after knowing that Guli Nazha was often glued to her phone chatting with someone, he never even crossed the safe distance between a man and a woman, let alone had any physical contact with her outside of filming.

Even so, rumors still spread within the crew that they were together.

Simply because they were often seen together.

After gradually understanding the situation on set, Bai Liang didn't have many thoughts on it; he wasn't the type of person to change himself because of his environment.

As an "intruder," he wasn't overbearing, and he wouldn't go so far as to shout slogans like "My rules are the rules," but simply because he was different from others, he could still subtly change things.

In Guli Nazha's words: You kid have a strange aura!

She had just reminded Bai Liang of certain "unspoken rules," but after Bai Liang filmed a fight scene with Lin Gengxin, the two of them went off to play games together that very night.

Likewise, Nazha herself was significantly influenced, and the frequency with which she held her phone for no reason decreased more and more.

Bai Liang could already foresee that there was probably a guy on the other end of the phone starting to doubt his life.

And he would have to mutter: Where exactly did things go wrong?

It was unknown when he would realize that the wireless internet at home being fast one moment and slow the next was most likely because someone was leeching off the Wi-Fi.

Of course, if it were a trial, the connection speed might be even more congested.

In fact, Bai Liang once suspected that he wasn't just lucky, but rather a succubus...

He only solved the mystery after a trip to Las Vegas.

However, being able to potentially ruin someone's plans so quickly also had something to do with Guli Nazha possibly being a "love-brain."

Regarding the "love-brain" aspect, Bai Liang judged it from the fluctuations in her state while filming.

She was the only one in the entire crew with such volatile states; she would often go blank-eyed, and no one knew what she was thinking about.

Guli Nazha: Standing at a crossroads in life.

"What should I do..."

Her little assistant was shocked, mainly because she didn't expect Nazha to show her the chat logs on her phone.

As for the content... it was clearly a showdown after some ambiguous tug-of-war.

The guy had confessed!

The little assistant looked at Nazha with some surprise, "Sis, you're actually asking me?"

Guli Nazha buried her head in the bed, "I have no other choice..."

"Weren't you two chatting very well before? I thought you would just agree directly."

One sentence seemed to kill the game; Guli Nazha angrily reached out to grab her phone.

Seeing her "suddenly fall ill" and wanting to act on impulse, the little assistant had no intention of stopping her.

Even though she and the agent had previously tried to persuade Nazha that the man's ex-girlfriend was crazy, and his fans were crazy too, and that nothing good would come of getting involved with him!

But student Nazha seemed to be in a rebellious phase; she wasn't listening at the time anyway.

This great beauty from Xinjing really wanted to fall in love! Love was her top priority!

She even called it: just chatting, that's all.

Now that it was a showdown, the little assistant felt that... the certain "pond owner" on the other end of the phone probably wouldn't get a satisfactory answer.

Sure enough!

After getting the phone, Guli Nazha looked at her little assistant with resentment: You should have stopped me.

The little assistant looked at her nose and heart, pretending to be lost in thought.

In the end, Guli Nazha didn't reply to anything; instead, she got up and put on her clothes, "Let's go! Let's go out!"

"Where are we going?"

"To find Bai Liang!"

The little assistant was shocked, "Sis, you aren't going to confess, are you? So soon?!"

This made Guli Nazha stumble, almost falling over.

She turned her head and gritted her teeth:

"What are you talking about... He and I are friends. When I feel uncomfortable, I feel very relieved and relaxed just being with him... Let's treat him to a late-night snack and talk about life. Besides, don't look at him as being dull; he actually has a lot of twisted logic."

"Like that 'the meaning of life is to go to the pier and get some fries'?"

"Something like that~"

This explanation was absurd! But the little assistant believed it.

Because she had the same feeling, but she was just a little assistant, so she didn't dare to say it out loud.

Normally at this time, Bai Liang should be in the hotel gym; his lifestyle habits were quite regular.

Nazha had even advised him not to exercise so diligently; that guy who almost died of sudden cardiac arrest had left a psychological shadow on many people in the crew.

And so, Bai Liang almost had the small hotel gym to himself every day.

Cherish life, stay away from the gym.

People in this crew probably wouldn't recover for three to five months; they were scared to death.

Bai Liang thought it made sense, so he started going to the gym every other day, using the extra time to read books or learn some useful or useless knowledge.

Or...

"Ult him, ult him! He's dead for sure this wave!"

"Don't be anxious, I'm coming, I'm rushing."

"Done, I'm dead." Lin Gengxin slumped into his chair as if he had lost all his strength, turning his head to watch Bai Liang's operation.

Then he saw him controlling the mid-laner to eat the river crab.

Seeming to notice the "death stare" beside him, Bai Liang didn't even turn his head, "I'd be dead if I went too; the Darius has blood rage."

"How do you know if you don't come?"

"Then I'll come."

And so, two minutes later, the mid and top lanes coordinated, one died and one fed.

The two looked at each other, seeing their 0-6 record and Bai Liang's 7-1 record, Lin Gengxin seemed to recall some unpleasant memories.

His face went numb.

He seemed to think of a certain future 100% win-rate professional player.

Fortunately, Bai Liang didn't scold him, and even gave him a wave of minions to farm, which made this guy feel a bit unaccustomed.

This was perhaps the reason why he liked to play games with Bai Liang; he played well and didn't scold his teammates for being bad.

His emotions were too stable!

If he were a woman, he would even want to date him.

And that wasn't all.

When the teammates in the ranked match started venting their anger over the impending loss on Lin Gengxin, Bai Liang stepped in again!

In the second half of this game, Bai Liang chatted with his teammates for a long time.

Talking about parents, the past, the future, the present... until they were speechless.

As the saying goes:

Three lanes explode, a piano is set up, the canyon is better than Vienna.

The high ground collapses, the family tree is sealed, the fountain is comparable to the Martial Arts World.

[Due to negative behavior or inappropriate remarks, we have restricted your in-game chat...]

"Ah! I'm muted." Bai Liang scratched his head, saying goodbye in a hurry; there were still so many things he hadn't had time to say... and he hadn't said any dirty words either.

"Always taking from you, but never saying thank you..."

Bai Liang suddenly felt a phantom pain in his kidneys, looking at Lin Gengxin as if he were looking at a dog.

Be a human, it feels like my kidneys have already been stabbed by a Fangtian Halberd!

"Cough, cough." Lin Gengxin, in his embarrassment, chose to awkwardly flatter him to change the subject: "I feel like you could go pro."

Bai Liang shook his head helplessly: "Who could beat that fellow countryman of Im Yoona who practiced the boy-art~"

Triggered a keyword.

Lin Gengxin turned his head and started gossiping with Bai Liang secretly, "Let me tell you, you don't know how uncomfortable it is to film opposite someone when there's a language barrier! Sometimes I can't remember my lines and can only guess from her expressions, but I can't understand them at all. People who don't know would think she's heartbroken, even though that scene was a farewell..."

Bai Liang didn't indulge him this time, saying objectively: "I think you two act about the same."

No, buddy!

Have you been bewitched by that bad Korean woman?!

Lin Gengxin immediately started to argue, but Bai Liang said he had watched "Temptation of Wife."

You're not even close; Hong Shixian faced two women, one speaking Cantonese and one speaking Korean, and he couldn't understand either of them, yet he still acted like a pro.

Fortunately, Lin Gengxin was just rambling, and his argument failed... so he just accepted it.

Instead, he developed some other interests.

To be precise, he was suddenly a bit mischievous and wanted to be a jerk.

Very reasonable.

Dogs do indeed tease capybaras.

So he raised an eyebrow and gave a wicked smile, "You're about to film a kiss scene with Nazha, right? Looking forward to it?"

That's a good question.

Nazha, who had just arrived, also wanted to know.
