Chapter 18

After happily reaching an agreement, Bai Liang could be considered one of the "signboards" of this gym.

The gym's female owner clearly had her eye on his face; that thing was far more effective than muscles.

As everyone knows, muscles that are too well-developed only attract men, while a face like his is a lethal weapon aimed at women.

However, Bai Liang's six well-defined abdominal muscles naturally played a certain role as well.

You certainly couldn't find some "little milk dog" with no signs of training for a gym's advertising poster.

He earned another five thousand yuan for shooting the poster.

This was clearly a bit too much, but considering it was a female owner in her thirties, with all those factors combined, five thousand yuan actually seemed a bit low.

Fortunately, she even refunded the small membership fee he had paid.

In the afternoon, Bai Liang happened to meet the gym's other "signboard."

Just as he was there pushing a barbell, a pair of hands suddenly rested gently on his barbell rod.

This behavior wasn't strange at all; in a gym, when performing risky exercises like pushing heavy barbells, there are always people willing to help out.

However, when Bai Liang finished his set and prepared to offer a word of thanks, he looked up and found that face somewhat familiar.

He only had time to say thanks, because the other person was quite "indifferent" and just nodded.

Isn't this Jiang Jinfu!

After recognizing the other person, Bai Liang just went back to his own training.

During a break, Nazha sent a harassing message, though it wasn't anything important.

Pure harassment.

The two had been in frequent contact these days, which reminded Bai Liang of Guli Nazha's state when she was on set before.

But back then, others were looking for her and she was busy replying; now it seemed a bit reversed.

After chatting for a bit, Nazha started complaining to him about her recent troubles.

For example, because a certain Mr. Jiang raised the banner of "rebellion," the drama she was supposed to join had been put on hold.

A certain Mr. Jiang?

Bai Liang: "Wait for me a sec~"

Just then, Jiang Jinfu had finished his set and was resting in the lounge area. Bai Liang walked straight over: "Can we take a photo together?"

Jiang Jinfu still nodded with an "indifferent" face, only managing to squeeze out a smile when the photo was taken.

After taking it, he asked: "Are you a fan of mine?"

Bai Liang waved his hand: "No~ I'm sending it to a girl to look at."

Jiang Jinfu, who had just become a bit more cheerful, was instantly knocked back into his "indifferent" state.

At the same time, the way he looked at Bai Liang became a bit strange; who takes photos of a handsome guy just to send them to a girl?

A strange thought popped into Jiang Jinfu's mind: Damn it, this kid isn't using me as a foil, is he?!

A normal person certainly wouldn't use a celebrity who relies on their looks as a foil, but after carefully looking at Bai Liang's face, Jiang Jinfu judged that he wasn't a "normal person."

The confidence he originally had in fighting the lawsuit against his company was suddenly dampened a little.

Damn it!

Now, any random "passerby" who pops up is better looking than him?

A sense of confusion about the future welled up in his heart; he thought to himself, maybe he should just quit the industry.

He felt the fitness business was pretty good~ and he happened to have some shares in this gym.

Make it big and strong?

After Bai Liang sent the photo to Nazha, it made her almost spit out her water.

Ignoring the fact that she was choking, she hurriedly typed away: "Why are you with Jiang Jinfu?"

"Ran into him at the gym, he trains really well!" Bai Liang evaluated honestly.

Nazha on the other end of the phone felt anxious, though she didn't know why she was anxious... She held back for two minutes before sending: "He's suing our company right now, it's quite troublesome." Bai Liang: Oh~

That had nothing to do with him anyway.

Watching Guli Nazha bombard him with several emojis, looking all worried, he didn't know what she was so anxious about.

In any case, he changed the subject first, and Bai Liang started talking about the house.

His plan was to look for a suitable house around this gym.

As a result, Guli Nazha suddenly became proactive, and at the same time misunderstood something: "You're buying a house?! I've been looking recently too!"

Regarding this point, she really wasn't talking nonsense.

Although she had debuted for several years, she still hadn't bought a house, and like Bai Liang, she was renting.

Because she was aiming for Beijing and Shanghai, houses in these two places were simply too expensive; she couldn't afford them when she first debuted.

But now she had saved up enough money, so she was thinking of buying a three-bedroom apartment.

A very simple little wish; she didn't even dare to think about large flats or villas.

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

"I'm not—"

"It just so happens that I'm resting these two days because the drama production is on hold, let's look together! The agent I know here is quite reliable!"

Huh~ usually agents sell houses and rent houses.

Bai Liang agreed immediately, feeling that his luck was still performing steadily; whatever he wanted, he got.

Oh right, and it wasn't just about renting!

The next afternoon, after arriving near the agreed-upon real estate agency on time, the two met up smoothly.

Nazha's outfit wasn't too special, and she was wearing sunglasses.

Regarding this disguise, Bai Liang gave his own opinion: "If you want to cover your face, a mask is better; people can still recognize you even if you wear sunglasses."

Nazha rolled her eyes at him through her sunglasses; how could she wear makeup if she wore a mask?

Why was this person's attention not on the lipstick she had carefully selected?

"Let's look at the houses first!"

"Sure~"

The agent Nazha found was indeed very reliable; the person came out to find them, and the confidentiality work was quite thorough.

It's just that the way the person looked at Nazha and Bai Liang was a bit off, muttering to themselves: They didn't say they were buying a wedding house...

"I've brought the information for several residential areas I recommend. Let's choose the location first. Once the area is confirmed, I'll introduce the good listings. If it goes well, I can take you to see them directly this afternoon."

"Oh right, today I brought small three-bedroom apartments. If there are children in the future, the space might not be enough, and it's the same if the elderly live with you..."

The mention of children truly made Nazha blush deeply; she hurriedly took the information and started reading.

She hadn't realized what it meant to look at houses with a young boy, but now that she reacted, her face felt burning hot.

She couldn't help but explain: "I'm living alone, the size of a small three-bedroom is enough."

The agent immediately realized they had said the wrong thing and hurriedly tried to make up for it while changing the subject: "What about you, sir?"

Bai Liang thought for a moment: "What kind of house is the cheapest?"

The agent was very professional and didn't think Bai Liang was poor; instead, they actually gave a suggestion: "Haunted houses, foreclosed homes, top floors, and north-facing units are all cheaper."

"Are there any small, north-facing, top-floor, foreclosed haunted houses?" Bai Liang asked with a serious face.

Pfft!

Nazha couldn't hold it in and laughed until she was shaking.

The agent didn't laugh; instead, they looked bitter.

Oh no! This guy is turning up the intensity on me! ——
