Chapter 153: Want to see something exciting

~17 min read 3,223 words

What does it feel like to become an overnight sensation?

Dilireba has a lot to say about this; she has started suffering from insomnia.

At first, it was excitement. She felt her heart pounding violently, as if she'd downed several cups of coffee, and her head felt a bit dizzy.

That phase is when a person is most hyper; she would scroll through news about herself online over and over again.

Seeing praise would make her incredibly happy—the kind of happy that makes you roll around on the bed.

Occasionally, seeing a negative comment would make her face drop instantly; it felt as if her entire heart were being controlled by her emotions.

Afterward, she naturally began to feel anxious about gains and losses.

It was much more severe than the previous time.

It even reached the point of insomnia.

Normally, this situation would gradually improve after a few days, but Dilireba "recovered" quite quickly.

By the second day after the insomnia started, she began to return to normal.

There was no other way; there was a capybara in the crew who remained as calm as ever.

When she sat down next to Bai Liang with dark circles under her eyes, she didn't even have to say anything; just one look at each other, and she could inexplicably calm down.

At that moment, Dilireba was surprised to find that he seemed completely untroubled by this overwhelming traffic.

Even though he was now a level more famous than her, with topics about him on the internet reaching tens of billions in traffic, he still sat there muttering about what to eat for dinner.

It seemed as if nothing could be more important than that.

Of course, just staying with Bai Liang could indeed alleviate some of her inner anxiety and fear of loss, but to be truly "cured," she needed a different method.

Zhu Xudan: What kind of sin did I commit?

She felt that this woman, Dilireba, was being less than human.

Not to mention the reckless behavior at the hotel entrance earlier, she and her assistant had been forced to help cover for her.

This time was even worse.

She had been perfectly fine outside, having just finished a scene, and was planning to eat some fruit Bai Liang had bought.

As a result, she was grabbed by the hand by Dilireba, who sincerely invited her to sit in the RV.

At that moment, Zhu Xudan didn't think anything was wrong; going to a guy's RV as a girl was indeed not ideal, as it would lead to gossip.

She often went to Bai Liang's RV, and had even played on his computer.

The others in the crew were used to the girls hanging out in Bai Liang's RV, so they wouldn't say anything if they saw it.

So, Zhu Xudan went up as soon as Dilireba called, looking forward to some snacks.

Well, there were indeed snacks.

Absolutely fresh dog food!

Damn it, this is outrageous!

As soon as she got on the RV, Zhu Xudan had only just managed to greet Bai Liang when Dilireba closed the door and, right in front of her, dove straight into Bai Liang's arms.

Petrified on the spot!

It was as if she had looked into the eyes of Medusa—Zhu Xudan's greeting was only halfway out, her mouth still open, and now she couldn't even close it.

Watching Dilireba sitting in Bai Liang's arms like that, rubbing against his face and touching his ears with an expression of enjoyment, she felt her head buzzing.

"Wait... why did you call me up here?" Zhu Xudan's voice sounded like she was on the verge of tears. You can't just shove dog food down someone's throat like this; it's too bullying!

"I didn't dare close the door by myself."

"You're quite righteous about it, but what about me?"

"Um... should I give you an eye mask?"

Dilireba also felt a bit embarrassed; she was secretly cuddling with a boy and making her best friend watch the show from less than two meters away.

No, this distance was more than just watching a show; if she got any closer, she could practically join in.

It was indeed a bit much.

But she really couldn't help it; she couldn't resist, so she had to resort to this desperate measure.

If she had gone to the RV alone, she reckoned someone would come knocking soon; the company definitely had people watching.

So, she had to wrong her best friend a little~

And by the way, let this little girl who was always eyeing Bai Liang's pure cotton T-shirts see the reality.

Recently, Bai Liang had started wearing shirts just because Zhu Xudan kept nagging him about it and even made him hold his hat in his hand.

That request was too strange; Bai Liang would satisfy her occasionally, but he couldn't keep it up forever.

"No, I'm going down, I can't take it anymore."

"Don't~"

Hearing this, Dilireba got anxious and grabbed a piece of clothing from the bed, throwing it at Zhu Xudan.

"What is this?"

"A gift for you," Dilireba said solemnly.

"Um~" Bai Liang raised his hand, wanting to speak, "That's my shirt. Shouldn't you ask for my opinion first?"

*Smack!

Dilireba kissed him directly on the face and then smiled.

Ah, this~

Bai Liang: "Alright then."

He felt that this girl was also in a strange state right now; he had just felt her cheeks burning.

Maybe she had been too hyper lately.

After receiving Bai Liang's pure cotton white T-shirt, Zhu Xudan sat there obediently, looking like it was truly unfortunate to have her as a best friend.

She even pretended to cover her eyes with her hands, "Hurry up! No taking off clothes, and don't do anything too weird!"

That would be nonsense; the two of them wouldn't go so far as to have a full-blown battle while there were still other people in the car.

Not to mention Dilireba, even Bai Liang would be too embarrassed to do such a thing.

The two of them were just cuddling.

Bai Liang could also feel Dilireba's restlessness.

At this moment, he was like someone soothing a kitten, gently stroking her back and letting her bury her head in his chest.

His hands were very well-behaved at this time, at least not reaching inside the girl's clothes.

Even Zhu Xudan, who was pretending to cover her eyes, peeked through her fingers and saw this scene, feeling... it didn't seem as passionate as she had imagined. Why was it so warm and fuzzy?

It made her subconsciously break into a silly smile.

Fortunately, her good friend Reba didn't let her down!

Want to see something exciting?

I'll satisfy you, sister!

Because she was soon no longer satisfied with just spiritual comfort. The female fans online were right; this man was sexy as hell!

She knew this all too well, having felt it countless times in the pool before.

When her hand reached inside Bai Liang's shirt and touched his abs, Bai Liang hadn't even done anything yet, but Dilireba felt goosebumps rising behind her ears.

At the same time, she looked up, her big eyes staring straight at him, her gaze lingering~

Done for, the sound of kissing!

After Zhu Xudan peeked twice, she was truly too embarrassed to keep watching. These two were too much... shoving tons of dog food into her mouth!

Then, after a while, Bai Liang suddenly said, "Actually, I designed a partition for this car."

A partition?

Watching Bai Liang open the bathroom door and perform a series of flashy operations, he really did divide the RV into two spaces.

The front had seats and a table, and the back was a bed.

Zhu Xudan screamed internally like a groundhog: They went to bed?!

However, she didn't hear anything... too outrageous.

Like *puchi puchi* or something~

About half an hour, maybe ten minutes?

Dilireba came out, her face redder than the Fuji apples Bai Liang had bought today, which Zhu Xudan was currently eating.

The two girls looked at each other, and Dilireba lowered her head, pretending to tidy up her clothes.

"Did... did you just take your clothes off?"

"No, no!"

"Then why are you tidying up?"

"... t's a bit messy."

"You definitely took them off! Where did he kiss you?"

"Oh, stop it!"

Dilireba felt that Zhu Xudan had been corrupted by Yang Mi; why was she starting to say such wild things now?

After saying this, she took a bottle of ice water from the fridge and pressed it against her face, seemingly wanting to cool down her state and make her face look less red.

But a flush seemed to be glued to her cheeks, and no matter what, it wouldn't go away.

This added a touch of charm to her still-baby-fat cheeks.

She subconsciously licked her lips, and just that action made Zhu Xudan, also a girl, subconsciously swallow her saliva.

Honestly, she suddenly admired Bai Liang a little.

With such a stunner, he could cuddle for so long without taking her right there; he really had self-control.

Brother Xiaobai, a true gentleman!

As a final step, Dilireba rinsed her mouth... but still didn't seem satisfied, so she stopped pretending and started using the toothbrush Bai Liang had left in the car. This left Zhu Xudan confused.

It was just a kiss, what are you doing? Could someone smell Bai Liang's scent on your mouth from half a meter away?

Weird~

Then... she dragged Zhu Xudan off the RV the same way she had pulled her up.

Under the guise of: We can't stay too long, or people will gossip.

Oh right, she also confiscated the exclusive pure cotton white T-shirt of Bai Liang's that she had just thrown to her.

"You're even taking that back?!" Zhu Xudan said, dumbfounded.

"I'll buy you ten new ones later."

"Is that the same? I want this one!"

"That won't do, this one... this one is dirty. I'll buy you new ones, be good~"

Zhu Xudan: I kind of want to curse, but I don't know many swear words.

Having such a good best friend is truly her blessing.

Leaving already?

After both girls got off the car, Bai Liang finally poked his head out and got out of bed.

How should I put it? When a girl gets impulsive, she really is impulsive, and her courage grows significantly along with it.

Not just courage, but also their boundaries...

But from any angle, he didn't seem to be losing out~

At this moment, Yanzi happened to call:

"Brother Xiaobai, I've contacted the production team of *Grade One*. We'll head over as soon as *Three Lives, Three Worlds* wraps up. After that, we'll go shoot commercials and fashion magazines, and then see when we can join the crew for *Wolf Warrior 2*."

"Got it~"

Yanzi was becoming more and more seasoned, her professional skills rising straight up, and she had arranged everything for Bai Liang clearly.

He liked this feeling of not having to think too much; otherwise, using his "super brain" at every turn would be a waste of talent.

"Oh right, we agreed a bit late, so we might have to go with other guest stars."

"That's fine, whatever works."

"But the guests are also acquaintances, both of them."

Hearing this, Bai Liang paused, "Such a coincidence? Who are they?"

"One is Sister Zhao Liying, and the other is Hu Ge."

"Wait a second, I'm indeed very familiar with the former, but Hu Ge... I've never even met him, let alone being acquaintances."

"Huh? You've never met Hu Ge?"

Yanzi indicated that she might have made a subjective assumption. When she started following Bai Liang, he was already doing well at Tang Ren.

Even without an agent, he could get roles in two of their projects, and he had good relationships with many artists at Tang Ren.

So Yanzi naturally assumed that Hu Ge should be no exception~

At this moment, she suddenly paused, "Then what about Liu Shishi?"

"Don't know her either, haven't met her."

"That's great..." Yanzi on the other end of the phone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Huh?"

"Nothing!"

The call ended. Bai Liang always felt that this little girl Yanzi was definitely gossiping about him behind his back; he would deduct a hundred yuan from her salary!

And he always felt this situation had a sense of déjà vu, as if someone had said it before...

Why do people always think he would have some story with Liu Shishi? She's already married.

Bai Liang stated that he was definitely not that kind of Cao Cao-type person!

Since Yanzi had already arranged the follow-up work, Bai Liang also began to prepare for the roles in the next two movies.

However, the specific situation for the role in *Wolf Warrior 2* was still unknown. Wu Jing said he wanted to make some modifications based on his personal characteristics and add some scenes.

This guy was actually quite honest after "empty-gloving" Bai Liang; he felt that his little brother had agreed to appear while drinking, and then suddenly became a hit.

It meant Wu Jing had picked up a rising, soon-to-be top-tier young idol for free.

The guy was honest, specifically calling to say that the profit-sharing ratio could be increased, and the scenes would be expanded to make the character fuller.

It made Bai Liang feel a bit embarrassed; was he just sending him money like this?

However, this also meant that the role wasn't fully finalized yet, so he could only study the male lead's second-in-command role in *Duckweed* first.

Han Han hadn't lied to him; the scenes for the second male lead, Xu Zhengtai, were quite heavy. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a dual-male lead.

For Bai Liang, issues like character settings weren't a big deal; he could handle them with a little time, but there was one thing that was quite troublesome.

The character Xu Zhengtai smoked, but Bai Liang had never smoked in his life, not in either of his two lifetimes.

In the only modern drama he had acted in so far, *Love O2O*, Xiao Nai was an all-around campus god; it was impossible for him to pull out a cigarette and light it.

Should he practice first?

He found someone to help buy a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. Bai Liang originally wanted to practice a bit in his room.

But then he saw the "No Smoking" sign on the bedside table. Given his level of "law-abiding," he definitely couldn't do such a thing.

So he ran all the way to the hotel rooftop, preparing to strike a few melancholic smoking-man poses there.

The rooftop was a good place; many Hong Kong movies liked to have negotiations on rooftops.

Sorry, I want to be a good person~

Today's Yang Mi was a bit melancholic because of a divorce agreement.

She was too lazy to ponder right or wrong, because from the moment she resolutely chose to fight for her career last year, this marriage had already begun to reach its end.

However, she wouldn't let others see her occasional vulnerable side. Even if she finally signed the divorce papers, it would be at least a year before it was made public.

Before that, she would still be that enviable big heroine of the entertainment industry with a happy family and a successful career.

She had liked staying on the rooftop for the past two nights, blowing in the wind to relax and take away some mental fatigue.

But she's acting strange today—how is it that you, kid, are everywhere?!

In her line of sight, this guy Bai Liang crawled out from some corner like a little mouse.

The moment she saw him, Yang Mi almost laughed out loud.

No special reason, she just wanted to laugh~

She didn't make a sound, wanting to see what this kid wanted to do.

As a result, she found him shrinking his head, sneaking around and digging into his pockets as if he were doing something bad.

She took two quiet steps forward, feeling a bit speechless. You come to the rooftop just to smoke?

However, she really hadn't expected Bai Liang to have a smoking habit. Having been in contact with him on set for so long, she had never smelled smoke on him, and there were no traces of smoking on his teeth or fingers.

It was basically that very comfortable scent, similar to the smell of clothes dried in the sun.

He definitely belonged to the type of clean, big boy that would make people feel good from every angle.

Hiding it so well?

Yang Mi felt he probably didn't want people to know, which was also reasonable. For a young idol in his rising phase, it really wasn't a good thing if fans knew he smoked.

But it wasn't that bad of a thing either~

At least Yang Mi wouldn't have a bad opinion of Bai Liang because of this.

Huh? Strange!

Before Bai Liang came up, he had tested the lighter; it could light a flame, so why wasn't it working now?

He had the cigarette in his mouth, and he had struck a cool pose, but it wouldn't light... he just felt awkward standing there.

"It's windy on the rooftop, of course your lighter won't light."

A familiar voice came from his ear.

The next second, Yang Mi rolled her eyes at him, unbuttoned the coat draped over her shoulders... and leaned forward, seemingly to help Bai Liang block the wind.

Facing this scene, Bai Liang paused, and the cigarette in his mouth accidentally fell to the ground.

Five yuan gone; this was a hundred-yuan pack of Golden Leaf.

But he didn't have time to dwell on that, because he didn't quite understand...

The principles of a real man made him step back very properly.

Then he raised his hand to indicate refusal: "No thanks, sister, I'm not hungry right now."

Yang Mi:???

What the hell are you talking about, kid?

At this moment, a chill made her shiver suddenly. Seeming to remember something, she looked down!

Damn... she hadn't changed her clothes when she came out, thinking she was dressed neatly underneath, but it was actually just a silk pajama set, the kind with cutouts.

Now that the trench coat was open, large areas of snow-white and deep cleavage showed how rich and generous she was.

Actually, it wasn't too revealing; some evening gowns showed about as much.

But the nature of pajamas is different!

It's like the difference between a swimsuit and underwear.

The former can be shown off generously, even if it has less fabric than underwear.

She quickly wrapped her coat, but Yang Mi wasn't in a hurry to be shy; instead, she was a bit annoyed.

Have I reached the age where I'm no longer attractive?

The half-step Bai Liang just took was a bit heartbreaking!

"Wait, what did you just say, kid? Not hungry?!"
