Chapter 187

"Quick, the phone."

"Sister, you don't need to worry. Brother Xiao Bai just contacted me; he asked you to wait a little while."

Hearing this, Nazha, who had rushed out in a hurry, let out a sigh of relief. She straightened her gown and then asked: "What did he say?"

"He said to wait a moment and not to rush off, as you still have a gift to collect." The little assistant giggled, seemingly even more expectant than Nazha herself about what the gift might be.

Nazha was happy at first, but her expression changed immediately: "Hmph! I still have to settle the score with him!"

"Sister~ let's not be stubborn; your lips are already pouting."

"Oh, you are so annoying!"

After bickering with the little assistant for a moment, Nazha added: "I've taken quite a bit of frustration today. If I'm not satisfied with the gift, I'm going to smash his trophy!"

"Alright, alright~"

The little assistant coaxed Nazha as if she were a child, but seeing how Nazha treasured the trophy, she knew there was no way she would actually smash it.

At this time, Bai Liang was searching everywhere for Yanzi while on the phone with Reba.

"You're already on your way to the airport?"

"Yeah, Dabai. I'm so tired. I can't spend the New Year with my family again this year."

Over the phone, Reba lost the high spirits she had just shown at the Weibo Night venue, and all the fatigue and grievances in her words poured out at once.

She was actually quite sensitive in this regard.

She had previously asked Bai Liang if he would be annoyed by her dumping negative emotions on him like this.

After all, she had put herself in his shoes; if someone were always complaining to her about the frustrations and exhaustion in their life, she definitely wouldn't be able to stand it.

Fortunately, Bai Liang was a "capybara immune to all laws"; mere negative emotions were nothing to him.

"It's okay. When I go home for the New Year's Eve dinner, I'll take a few more photos for you."

"You're so bad!"

Reba laughed and scolded him, then suddenly said in a gentle tone: "Thank you for today. I really didn't expect you to do that. When I saw you walking over on stage, do you know how fast my heart was beating?"

"I was quite nervous too. If you had ignored me back then, I would have become a clown on the spot."

In fact, Bai Liang had only just thought of that possibility himself.

Just thinking about it was embarrassing; it would have been social death!

"How could I possibly ignore you!"

"You ignored me when I was talking to Nazha."

"You're actually feeling aggrieved?!"

"Yeah~"

Listening to Bai Liang's matter-of-fact tone, Reba was silent for two seconds, as if making a promise: "I will never ignore you, no matter when!"

"Get some good sleep on the plane. Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

Putting down the phone, Bai Liang wondered why he was so busy tonight.

Because Yanzi was rushing toward him: "Brother Xiao Bai, I've been looking for you for ages. I've been busy to death tonight."

"Where's the stuff?"

"Right here." Yanzi showed him the box in her hand and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

While Bai Liang was "enjoying" the Shura field at Weibo Night, Yanzi was also busy flying around outside.

First, she rushed to pick out a gift for Yang Mi according to Bai Liang's instructions.

At the time, Yanzi was cursing while she shopped; her own Brother Xiao Bai was just too kind-hearted. Why bother with the sentimentality of an old woman? She was quite wicked!

Cursing was one thing, but she still completed Bai Liang's request.

Afterward, she hurried to another place to "make contact" for Bai Liang and got the thing in her hand.

Yanjing City was just too big! Most of the time was spent on the road.

Ten minutes later, in the car.

Nazha reached out her little hand to Bai Liang righteously: "Where's the gift~ I'm telling you, if I'm not satisfied, you can forget about keeping the trophy!"

"If you like it, I can give it to you."

Yanzi:???

Wasn't it agreed that it would be placed in the studio as a decoration? She had been displeased with that flowerpot for a long time and was just waiting to replace it with the trophy.

Just at this moment.

"Meow~"

"My god!" Nazha screamed out loud.

Seeing that the gift could no longer be hidden, Bai Liang lifted his clothes, revealing the little kitten hidden in his arms.

This was the gift Yanzi had traveled through the night to retrieve.

It wasn't bought; it was something Master Yu had lost in a bet on the set of *Wolf Warrior 2*.

Nazha couldn't wait to hold the little kitten carefully in her arms, the surprise in her big eyes overflowing.

"Where did you hide it? Have you been carrying it with you the whole time?"

"Uh, I don't have the ability to hide this little thing for a whole night."

Yanzi couldn't hold it in anymore: "Sister Nazha, is there a possibility that it was with me?"

Nazha stuck out her little tongue, feeling like she was being silly.

She leaned directly into Bai Liang's arms, holding the little kitten in her own, and suddenly felt that it would be great if they were at home right now.

Just thinking about this scene was blissful!

At this moment, Bai Liang, whose name was called by the host, was finally "liberated."

Moreover, in her view, this kitten was raised by her and Bai Liang together, so it was the same no matter who had it.

"You have to take good care of it~"

Before leaving, Nazha said with lingering attachment.

Just now, she had kissed the kitten more times than she had kissed Bai Liang.

"Don't worry, I can keep anything alive," Bai Liang said very confidently.

"Just keeping it alive isn't enough; you have to raise it well. Next time I see it, it must be chubby, with a round face..."

Bai Liang looked at the kitten: "Did you hear that? Grow just like she said."

Kitten:???

Watching Nazha's car drive away, Yanzi finally let out a sigh of relief: "Brother Xiao Bai, is tonight over yet?"

"Ah, not yet..."

"Not yet?!"

"I have two more dates..." Bai Liang looked at the message on his phone, feeling like something was not quite right.

Why was the hotel name Li Qin sent him the same as the one for Meng Meng?

So he changed his words: "One date."

Yanzi also breathed a sigh of relief and signaled the driver to set off.

However, she was actually quite curious; before Bai Liang came out, she had run into Lin Gengxin.

According to him, the situation for her Brother Xiao Bai inside should have been very... perilous.

But now it seemed like nothing had happened at all~

He was just a little busier.

Originally, Yanzi had prepared for the worst, which was that all the girls related to her Brother Xiao Bai would gather together and start a war off-camera.

They might even pull hair and tear at each other's clothes; that's how girls fight.

She had even thought about who she should help.

As Bai Liang's manager, she had good relationships with all those sisters.

Nazha, Reba, Meng Meng, including Li Qin and Chen Yao, had all given her gifts and treated her to meals.

Yanzi had added all of them on her phone, and she liked every one of their social media posts.

If she really had to help one of them, she would feel sorry for the others.

Fortunately, this didn't happen at all.

Even though they were sitting together, they ended up coming out one by one.

Her Brother Xiao Bai even had time to "defeat them one by one"; it was too outrageous!

It felt as if these girls were deliberately cooperating with him... but how could that be?!

Yanzi was too lazy to ask Bai Liang, because she knew the answer she would get would be: "Did you hear that? The echo of strong luck."

Using luck in this area was truly a waste.

"Good heavens, you actually came?! It's like seeing a ghost..."

Li Qin, who was already preparing to sleep, had an expression on her face like she had seen a ghost when she opened the door and saw Bai Liang.

She even circled him twice, as if trying to see a slap mark on him.

"Hey? Strange, did no one beat you up?"

Bai Liang was even more confused: "Why would anyone beat me up?"

"It would be a ghost if they didn't! I don't believe you were just doing it to hype up a CP. You coaxed Dilraba like that; wouldn't you spend a wonderful night together? And yet you could still come here..."

This young lady was analyzing it logically, but her expression was actually a bit sour.

So Bai Liang didn't tell her that Dilraba was very busy and her plane had probably already taken off.

"You sent me a message, so if I didn't come..."

"Afraid I'd be sad?" Li Qin didn't wait for Bai Liang to answer, reached out and patted his chest, and sighed, "You're not allowed to be like this!" "What's wrong?"

The young lady's eyes were particularly complex, "Girls are easily moved, even if I know you're a scumbag."

Li Qin felt her brain was really a bit messy.

She discovered that she was actually happy because Bai Liang didn't go to find other girls but came to her instead.

What the hell was there to be happy about? It was simply crazy!

The fact that he could go find other girls should be struck by lightning!

Scumbag, scumbag, scumbag, scumbag!

"Go take a shower, scumbag!"

The usually gentle Li Qin was truly a bit irritable today, and even raised her leg to kick Bai Liang's butt.

After he obediently went in to shower, Li Qin, who was pacing outside, couldn't help herself, took off her clothes, and slipped into the bathroom too.

Bai Liang criticized such behavior.

!. Read

Because on his way here, he had bought a bottle of champagne; how could hot water be as exciting as champagne?

Two hours later, Miss Li entered a baby-like sleep happily.

The sleep quality was so good that she couldn't be woken up even if called.

Bai Liang checked the time: 2: 0 AM.

The benefit of having abundant energy finally reflected its due value at this moment.

He suddenly had a feeling of sudden enlightenment; so this special trait wasn't just for him to lift weights and run every day...

He helped Li Qin cover the quilt, tidied up her somewhat messy hair, and even helped wipe away some unknown liquid.

Then he got up, put on his clothes, and went next door.

Meng Meng was young, after all, and could stay up later.

Respecting the old and loving the young, "respecting the old" comes first.

Even at 2: 0 AM, she had no sleepiness at all, her big eyes bright and alert!

"Little Hedgehog, you finally came~ I knew you would definitely come!"

Obviously, she was much more determined than the astonished Li Qin.

The younger the girl, the more she likes the feeling of someone crossing mountains and seas to be by her side.

Fortunately, Bai Liang had indeed managed it. If the hotels these two girls were staying in tonight had been further apart, he probably wouldn't have made it without the ability to teleport.

Praise good luck.

"Brother Xiao Bai, you're really awesome..."

"What's wrong?"

Bai Liang, who was teasing the kitten, looked at Yanzi. Why would she say that?

Yanzi hesitated: "How did you get Meng Meng and Li Qin to agree?"

"Ah? Agree to what?"

"Agree to be together... are they crazy?"

Bai Liang looked at Yanzi speechlessly: "I think you're the one who's crazy."

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not."

That's not right!

Yanzi couldn't figure it out. Today in the hotel lobby, she had seen Li Qin and Meng Meng leave one after the other with her own eyes.

They even both came to pet the kitten.

And both girls came out without makeup, but their complexions were so rosy, as if they had put on blush; one look and you could tell... they had been intimate in the morning too.

At the time, she was still muttering to herself that if her Brother Xiao Bai ever stacked Nazha and Reba together, that would be truly explosive!

However, being able to get those two to let him stack them would also be a terrifying thing.

Perhaps Li Yitong was right: male succubus, male fox.

Bai Liang: Three people or more is against the law; put away the strange thoughts in your head.

Besides, that would be too disrespectful to the girls; he wasn't involved in those strange circles.

Even Duan Zhengchun never did that.

However, it wasn't easy to explain this to Yanzi; "Time Management Master" wasn't exactly a good title either.

Bai Liang felt that he had changed; it was all the fault of the big dyeing vat of the entertainment industry!

Or rather, the culprit might have been Meng Meng wanting to get married directly at the beginning; otherwise, Bai Liang wouldn't have "opened up his perspective."

Now he really had changed his way of living, and it felt truly great!

Bai Liang, having gained the advantage, didn't act coy. The girls had temporarily disappeared from his world, so of course, he had to do some serious business.

Go home for the New Year.

*Cough cough*, no, it was to go home first to have a meal with his family and tell them he couldn't spend the New Year at home this year, at most just the New Year's Eve.

So it was very reasonable to collect all the red envelope money on New Year's Eve.

He even specifically ran to both sides: one to his grandparents' place, and one to his maternal grandparents' place.

However, even though he collected red envelope money until he was numb, Bai Liang didn't reveal to his younger siblings who he was dating.

He hadn't expected that his younger siblings were also CP fans.

They almost fought on New Year's Eve.

Just to argue about whether their eldest brother was with Reba or Nazha.

It was very strange; the younger brothers all liked Nazha, and the younger sisters all liked Reba.

In the end, the Reba party won everything because the sisters could beat up the brothers, but the boys didn't dare to fight back.

Once they fought back, they were easily suppressed ruthlessly from a higher dimension.

Oh right, there was a "heretic" among them who liked Meng Meng.

He really liked her!

Because this little bastard actually asked Bai Liang if he could give him her contact information if he wasn't dating Meng Meng... On New Year's Eve, Bai Liang taught this fifteen-year-old little bastard a lesson using the wrestling he had learned.

The method was very cruel; he never dared to think about Meng Meng again.

Of course, Bai Liang didn't forget the celebrity signed photos he had promised them last year.

He even specifically put them in the red envelopes.

Compared to the red envelope money, the younger siblings liked this stuff more.

But after Bai Liang left home, when they opened them, they found that they were all Bai Liang's own signed photos.

"Cousin is so bad; he must be dating both of them!"

Bai Liang couldn't hear the muttering of his younger siblings; he was already in Yanjing.

*Duckweed* would be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, joining the meat grinder of the Spring Festival film season.

Opponents included *Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back*, jointly created by Zhou Xingchi and Xu Ke.

The action-comedy film *Kung Fu Yoga* starring Big Brother Cheng.

Wang Baoqiang's new self-directed and starring work *Buddies in India*.

*The Village of No Return* starring Shu Qi and Wang Qianyuan.

The "New Year's Eve dinner" *Cook Up a Storm* jointly cooked by Uncle Ge and Xie Tingfeng.

Classmate Nazha's *The Game Changer*.

And the evergreen of the Spring Festival season, *Boonie Bears*.

Bai Liang felt that *Boonie Bears* should be the best-looking one, and he was even preparing to find time to support it.

Oh right, there was another strange thing about the Spring Festival movies this time.

Among the four returned stars that Bai Liang had "offended" before, except for Lu Han, who had no movie released during this Spring Festival, the other three would all appear.

*Journey to the West* had Wu Moufan, *Kung Fu Yoga* had Zhang Yixing, and *The Game Changer* had Huang Zitao.

And although Lu Han didn't have a movie, he was going to sing on the Spring Festival Gala this year, so he would probably participate in the subsequent hot search battle.

At first, Bai Liang hadn't thought of this; how would he pay attention to who was in these movies?

At most, he would pay attention to *The Game Changer* that Nazha participated in, although Nazha herself said it was destined to flop.

But Yanzi had done her homework well and was even prepared to fight a "defensive counterattack."

What if, she meant what if, these four suddenly teamed up to bully her Brother Xiao Bai?

Bai Liang was more open-minded: "It shouldn't come to that. We probably wouldn't be able to beat *Journey to the West* even if they didn't team up."

Wu Moufan definitely didn't have that ability, but the names of Zhou Xingchi and Xu Ke were still too resounding.

Yanzi expressed her refusal to accept it; whether they could beat them or not, they would only know after fighting!

What if Han Han's movie suddenly hit a box office of one or two billion and suppressed them all~

Bai Liang hadn't even expressed his stance yet, and Han Han was moved to tears.

You think so highly of me?

He felt that if the film could pass one billion, it would be burning high incense, and it would definitely be a super big success.

Yanzi opened her mouth and said at least over a billion... If that really happened, she would definitely give her a big red envelope.

Bai Liang was recalling; he couldn't quite remember what the original box office of *Duckweed* was.

It was different from TV series data; movie box office was more intuitive.

Even if there were some strange operations that could make articles about the box office, most of it could still be used as a reference.

He just wanted to know how big a storm he, this butterfly, could stir up.
