Chapter 207

"Champagne? Give me an address, and I'll have someone send you a few cases. I have an endorsement deal for it."

Hearing this from Bai Liang, Li Yitong couldn't quite keep a straight face. "A few cases? What would I do with that many? Pour them into the bathtub for a soak?"

"That works too."

"Pfft! Don't be like that, you know what I mean." Li Yitong gave Bai Liang a lingering look, her eyes seemingly thick with unspoken intent.

They were moist, as if a bottle of champagne had already been spilled.

Bai Liang naturally wouldn't pretend not to understand, but...

"But I might not be free tonight."

"Huh? What do you mean? Is someone asking you out?" Li Yitong almost performed a vanishing act with her smile.

After all, Bai Liang's words were such a buzzkill. It was rare for her to be in such high spirits.

"I'm not sure yet. I took leave to come here, but it seems the leading lady of my drama has come to catch me."

Bai Liang looked toward Jing Tian, feeling as if she had come to "arrest" him and bring him to justice.

"Who are you filming with? Are they crazy?" Li Yitong couldn't help but blurt out.

"Jing Tian."

"Dear~ pretend I said nothing."

She had also seen Jing Tian, and then she inwardly scorned Bai Liang; the young lady was clearly just here to show support.

Jing Tian was smiling so happily; she was hardly here to catch anyone.

Stinky man, always knowing how to alarm people.

"I don't care, send me the hotel address and room number tonight, and have the champagne ready."

For some time now, for Li Yitong, it had truly been a case of being in pain while being happy.

While suffering from cyberbullying, her exposure rate had also shot up significantly.

It wasn't exactly "black-red" fame; she hadn't done anything truly bad. The shipping wars really had nothing to do with being black-red; it was just that the intensity of the fan circles in this regard was indeed a bit high.

At this moment, she felt a bit of admiration for Guli Nazha; she was truly impressive to be able to endure it for so long.

Oh right, because the *Princess Agents* production team released a double poster of Li Yitong and Bai Liang, the two of them now even had an on-screen ship.

Although in the drama, Yuan Chun and Yan Xun didn't have a good ending, the characters they played both had that "beautiful, strong, and tragic" vibe.

Li Yitong's team felt they could amplify and hype up this specific trait.

A "beautiful, strong, and tragic" ship really did fit her current situation.

And so what if they didn't end up together in the drama?

Sometimes, mutual support really can't compare to the intensity of loving and killing each other.

It's just a pity that the setting of the drama was a female-led one, and everyone loved the female lead~

Otherwise, Li Yitong could have really stood tall.

Because she truly played Yuan Chun extremely well!

It's just a pity that the drama had only just started airing, and the Yuan Chun played by Li Yitong was still just an innocent, naive, and cute princess, not yet having undergone her gorgeous transformation into the sinister and selfish princess of a chaotic world.

Similarly, the Yan Xun played by Bai Liang was still the brightest youth in Changancheng.

He hadn't yet experienced the dark transformation of the Nine Nether Terrace.

After the drama started airing, he followed the usual routine and surpassed Lin Gengxin to reach the top of the trending searches.

A bunch of people were asking underneath: which one of you is the male lead?

It's hard to say these people weren't doing it on purpose, because Lin Gengxin's name was written right before Bai Liang's, and even Bai Liang's fans knew their idol was the second male lead.

The fans didn't complain either, because they knew when this drama was filmed; *Love O2O* hadn't even aired back then.

At that time, it was very reasonable for Bai Liang to play a supporting role for Lin Gengxin.

Moreover, his fans certainly wouldn't go to Lin Gengxin's Weibo to cause trouble; everyone knew the two had a good relationship. At the end of last year, these two guys even joined forces on Weibo to scold anti-fans; their combat power was simply terrifying.

The reason even this could cause a stir was mainly because the opening performance of *Princess Agents* was very high-profile.

The viewership ratings broke 1 across four networks and topped the national rankings for the same time slot.

Clearly, this was another hit drama.

Zhao Liying's peak years were truly terrifyingly fierce.

This year's *Eternal Love* and *Princess Agents* could be considered lucky, having a top-tier celebrity appear out of thin air to play a supporting role.

The key was that Bai Liang didn't slack off on the roles in either drama; his interpretation was spot on.

With such a "green leaf" to set them off, aside from the risk of the male lead being overshadowed, it was basically all positive gains.

Just the traffic and topic engagement alone were immeasurable.

As for the two "unlucky guys."

Mark Chao was definitely convinced at the time; no matter how hard he, the male lead, tried, he simply couldn't beat the popularity of the Donghua Dijun played by Bai Liang.

It was fortunate that Bai Liang was already a top-tier celebrity; otherwise, he would have definitely replicated Dilraba's performance in *Diamond Lover*.

A supporting actor stepping on the lead to rise.

Fortunately, fortunately, Bai Liang didn't need to rise; Mark Chao breathed a sigh of relief.

Being suppressed by a top-tier celebrity wasn't too embarrassing; if anyone complained, they could just say, "If you're so good, you do it~"

As for Lin Gengxin, he was used to it.

But for Bai Liang himself, it was just another well-known supporting male role.

To use Yanzi's words: the bonus is just like that~ the effect is there, but there's no need to market anything extra.

Times are different now!

Her Bai Liang isn't some fresh meat without acting skills, desperate to market a breakout role to death.

It's not like the *Wu Xin: The Monster Killer* days, where a single Zhang Xianzong could make Bai Liang's name shoot up instantly.

Yanzi even felt that Bai Liang might be able to mass-produce such roles in the future.

Being a top-tier celebrity and still marketing a second male lead role felt a bit strange.

Regarding this, Bai Liang's own opinion was: wait until *Wolf Warrior 2* is released, and let's see if you, Yanzi, still look down on second male lead roles.

Just wait and see the fun~

After the photo-taking and stage appearance segment ended, Bai Liang walked off the stage and was naturally blocked by Jing Tian.

"Not doing your proper job~ not filming well and running out to do these things."

"I just felt you were too tense, and thought it would be good to let you relax a little."

This sentence seemed to hit a nerve, making Jing Tian's speech suddenly dry up, stammering...

Fortunately, there were many people at the event today, and others soon gathered around, which saved her.

Li Yitong, who was passing by, sized Jing Tian up, looking thoughtful~

There were truly more than just one familiar face today.

Because for this kind of high-end luxury brand launch, many celebrities came to show support.

The current atmosphere in the entertainment industry is like this: some artists whose status or prestige might not be enough yet need to take the initiative to show favor to big brands.

After all, sometimes if you want to borrow clothes or jewelry, you have to help them stand on stage.

At the same time, there were others who wanted to compete for endorsements, so they would also frequently show up.

Everyone said they liked the brand, and some would even spend money to buy... oh right, Li Yitong had a moment of impulse and spent a fortune before she became a brand friend.

But she was influenced by the environment back then; the socialites around her were all spending money, and if she didn't pay a cent, she felt she didn't fit in. Fortunately, that money was well spent!

She could be considered a typical example of someone who licked until they had everything, and perhaps she even set an example for other artists.

If she can do it, we can too!

And so, at today's launch event, there were truly many second and third-tier female artists.

They were all trying hard to get close to Bai Liang, each of them practically having their intention to replicate that famous, sensational vanity fair photo written on their faces.

That photo is still pinned on the official Bvlgari Weibo to this day, and you can even see it directly when you click into the official website.

But today, Bai Liang didn't drop any jewelry into a champagne glass.

That kind of operation is fine as a flash of inspiration once.

Doing it every time would be too deliberate.

However, other female artists were one thing, but Li Yitong appearing here was still a bit too strange...

"Little kitten, don't hide, I know it's you!"

"Hehe, you found me? You have such good eyes~"

Li Yitong had an awkward smile on her face. How to put it... even though they were all looking for an opportunity to rub off on him, she was different from the other unrelated female artists.

(Content skipped due to repetitive/garbled text)

She felt quite ashamed, because her relationship with Bai Liang was different.

Sometimes people are like this; it's precisely when they are more intimate that they want to keep a distance in certain settings.

Their minds start thinking about some strange things.

And so, she acted like she wanted to hide from Bai Liang even though she had already arrived.

Extremely conflicted.

It was useless; Bai Liang had actually discovered her long ago and came over to catch her~

At the same time, he saw through her little thoughts, and after thinking for a moment, he actually called Li Yitong over.

After whispering a few words.

Li Yitong looked at Li Yitong with complex eyes, then looked at Bai Liang, and then nodded helplessly. "Since you've said so... can I still refuse you?"

She was a little hesitant at first, but soon figured it out.

Anyway, she was also rubbing off on him, so adding one more wasn't impossible.

Besides, she really wanted to remind Li Yitong: Sister, you only saw the eating, you didn't see the beating~

Like rubbing off on him? When the time comes, you'll get a share of the scolding too.

This refers to being scolded online.

Li Yitong: Huh?!

Your relationship is not right...

Just from the tone of Li Yitong's voice and that resentful vibe, she felt something strange when she heard it.

In fact, she and Li Yitong could be considered "spiritual friends for a long time." Although the two hadn't met in person, they had video chatted.

As a result, this first "meeting in reality" was so awkward.

So Li Yitong quietly lowered her voice and "warned" Bai Liang: "Male fox, let me tell you... even if you helped me... don't even think about certain things!"

Bai Liang:???

"What things?"

"Still pretending, still pretending!" Li Yitong pursed her lips and looked at Li Yitong again. The similarities in their looks must be very stimulating for a man!

Moreover, what a coincidence; besides looking alike, Li Yitong and Li Yitong were the same age, had the same surname, and were even born in the same month.

Oh right, Li Yitong is a stage name; her original name was Li Xue.

Damn it! Now even the name format is similar; it's like a twin sister vibe.

Putting herself in his shoes, she felt that if she were Bai Liang, she would definitely imagine some strange things.

How could that be allowed! How could that be permitted!

Li Yitong:... ister, I'm thinking the same thing~

How could she not think of what Li Yitong could think of.

However... although Li Yitong was also resistant, it wasn't as intense as Li Yitong's.

At least she didn't say anything.

Of course, this didn't mean she liked it, it's just that the situation today was special.

She had already taken the initiative to talk to Bai Liang about champagne... the state she was in was also very obvious.

Li Yitong even didn't know if Bai Liang really made that kind of rude request, and if that sister from the same family was also shameless, could she decisively refuse...

So after the event ended, Bai Liang "very obediently" sent his hotel address and room number, making Li Yitong feel a bit numb.

Dead mouth, why are you acting so flirtatious~

Now it's fine, should I go or not?

What if I go and see Li Yitong in the room?

Should I turn around and leave, or slap Bai Liang and then leave, or go over and bend over together...

The effect of Li Yitong rubbing off on the endorsement was excellent~

Just by taking a photo and getting on a trending search, she received news that Bvlgari wanted to make her a brand friend...

It stunned her. Huh? Is the effect that good?

It comes just like that?

It feels like this brand friend title is being wholesaled; Li Yitong goes to rub off on them and gets one, she goes to rub off on them and also gets one.

If I had known, I would have called Meng and the others to go together and rub off on them as a group.

And here it is, Jin Cheng's scolding, though late, arrived.

"Sister, you didn't call me for something like this? Are you even human?"

"I didn't know, I was confused myself."

"Your explanation is very exaggerated, remember to turn off your private messages."

Li Yitong was a bit confused. "What do you mean?"

Jin Cheng was a bit gloating now. "I've already seen people online scolding you and Li Yitong as shameless flirtatious sisters. Do you want me to read a few more?"

"No! Get lost!"

"What are you afraid of? If I were you, I'd team up with Li Yitong and pin Bai Liang to the bed... this stinky guy is really good to you two, endorsements can be played like this too. Wait... you wouldn't be with Li Yitong right now, would you? Open a video, I want to see!"

For this crazy woman Jin Cheng, Li Yitong had no choice.

She could only video chat to prove her innocence.

As a result, Jin Cheng actually looked regretful, as if she really wanted to see that exciting scene.

In the end, she was naturally scolded by Li Yitong, and it ended with her being called a female hooligan.

But Li Yitong was still affected a little, and couldn't help but imagine: What is Li Yitong thinking?

Li Yitong: I'm conflicted to death, sister!

Her car had been circling around Bai Liang's hotel for almost half an hour, and she still hadn't decided whether to drive in.

Just to see if there was anyone else in the room...

And while Li Yitong was still hesitating there, there really was someone else in Bai Liang's room!

It was Jing Tian.

However, the door was open as usual, and he was watching *Princess Agents* with Jing Tian.

Ever since they watched variety shows together the first two times, plus Su Lun's instigation, this activity had become a fixed daily routine for him and Jing Tian.

The other party would come over to visit from time to time to find some interesting programs to watch together.

Now that *Princess Agents* was airing, Jing Tian was also quite interested in this drama that became a hit as soon as it aired, so she naturally came over openly.

Anyway, the door was open, so there was nothing to fear about avoiding suspicion.

After all, if someone wanted to talk nonsense, whether this happened or not wouldn't stop those people's mouths.

Who told Jing Tian to have that moment of being unable to control herself while filming before...

It's just that Jing Tian now was indeed a bit different from before.

This is easy to judge.

Because she was leaning a bit too close—
