Chapter 148: What Are You Two Trying to Do in the Car?

As for the new rumor, this time even Dilireba couldn't be bothered to care—who would believe such nonsense?

Making up rumors still takes a bit of skill; a rumor that's too outlandish has no market.

The melon-eating crowd loves hearing stories about Yang Mi keeping a fresh young stud, but they certainly wouldn't believe anyone could stack Yang Mi together with the female artists from her company.

Oh right, Yang Mi's feet don't stink.

Bai Liang helped her debunk the rumor—the other party had taken her shoes off several times on the RV, and he honestly hadn't smelled a thing.

He did, however, find himself marveling at the sheer variety of her stockings.

Fishnet, ombre, snakeskin, polka dot, pearlescent, two-tone patchwork, garter lace—you name it, she had it. He had no idea why she'd brought so many kinds of stockings with her to the set.

Just like showing off an arsenal.

Even when she was wearing costume most of the time, the moment the outfit was lifted, there were still stockings underneath.

Bai Liang actually enjoyed the view quite a bit, but Dilireba seemed to have just a tiny bit of a mood about it—hidden well, but still noticed.

Both Bai Liang and Yang Mi noticed.

Mm. Seems it wasn't hidden all that well after all.

Yang Mi, watching all this, actually seemed rather pleased with herself.

Little girl, you see that? Heh. Men.

No matter how good your acting skills are, no matter how heaven-sent your gift—even at times like these, only one trait gets magnified infinitely.

That is, the restless little boy inside.

Why don't you come right into sister's bowl already?

Big and white and bright~ that refers to three things.

However, Bai Liang's set life—which was like Tang Seng entering the Kingdom of Women—was soon interrupted by a rough, burly man.

In a sense, the guy was Sun Wukong.

He grabbed a staff, climbed the ranks to become the Bimawen, seemingly establishing his footing in this circle—but no one expected just how big a stir this monkey could cause!

And just how much of a shock that staff in his hand would bring to the "Heavenly Court."

"I'm Wu Jing—are you off set yet? Let's chat over a drink?"

Bai Liang glanced at him with mild curiosity, then nodded. "Sure~"

His style—no excessive pleasantries, no extra questions—made Wu Jing's eyes light up. "How's your drinking capacity?"

Bai Liang held up one finger.

"One jin? Not bad!"

"Drink straight through, until you lose consciousness."

"Awesome! Come on, let's try it! If you can drink me under the table, I'll call you impressive!"

Wu Jing's sudden "set visit" caused a much bigger stir than Han Han's previous visit to the set of *Princess Agents*.

After all, while this guy's style wasn't exactly flashy, it certainly wasn't low-key either.

Wearing sunglasses to look cool, he flashed his face at the crew staff outside, then swaggered right in.

And headed straight for Bai Liang.

Most of the crew knew he'd arrived.

But just as everyone was still wondering, and the director and Yang Mi hadn't even reacted yet, this guy had already dragged Bai Liang off.

"How did he get here?"

Yang Mi was a bit puzzled—she hadn't heard of any connection between Bai Liang and this guy~

They didn't even move in the same circles.

Although she knew Bai Liang had taken on a movie too, he was originally working the circle over in Shanghai, so it wasn't too strange that he could cross paths with Han Han.

But with Wu Jing, there really was no connection at all.

Forget Bai Liang—even Yang Mi, who also developed in Beijing and had gone into the Hong Kong circle just like Wu Jing, had no real connection with the guy.

Classic case of different circles—no way to force a merge.

Yang Mi instinctively glanced at Dilireba, only to find that she too looked somewhat bewildered and puzzled.

So she didn't think too much of it, planning to "interrogate" Bai Liang about it later.

But after returning to the hotel, Dilireba told her assistant to go buy some hangover medicine.

Although Bai Liang had been dragged off in an instant, he hadn't forgotten to send her a message, briefly explaining the situation.

He also asked if she wanted to come over.

This feeling must be called "being kept in someone's heart," right~

She hadn't eaten a single bite of watermelon today, yet her heart still felt sweet.

"Sis, should I deliver the hangover medicine, or are you going to deliver it?"

"Let's wait a bit longer. When men drink, it should take quite a while. In an hour and a half, we'll drive over and wait for him outside the restaurant."

The assistant clicked her tongue—unbelievable!

If you two say you're not dating, who would believe it?

But to be honest, as someone who'd been by Dilireba's side for a long time, she really hadn't seen Dilireba and Bai Liang do anything particularly over-the-line.

In any case, the two of them hadn't secretly kissed behind closed doors.

At most they pinched each other's ears—and while that was pretty flirtatious too, it just left people unable to tell whether they'd actually crossed that line.

As for nighttime? The two of them definitely hadn't slept together—that much was certain.

The assistant was crystal clear on that point.

That evening, when the time came, Dilireba took a shower, changed clothes, blew her hair dry, and set off with her assistant.

It was a bit furtive—they drove themselves, didn't even use the company driver.

Her assistant was still a little flustered inside, feeling that she was straying further and further down the path of defying the company's instructions. Before, she had just been turning a blind eye, but now she had directly become an "accomplice."

How thrilling!

The time Bai Liang and Wu Jing spent drinking clearly exceeded Dilireba's expectations.

The two of them had gone over to start drinking before five o'clock, and it was already ten at night, yet it still wasn't over.

Dilireba almost dozed off in the car, but just as she was getting drowsy, she heard the car door being opened.

A figure carrying a familiar scent along with the smell of alcohol sat down beside her.

The other party didn't make a sound, seemingly thinking she was asleep and not wanting to disturb her.

And Dilireba subconsciously reached out and hugged his waist, humming, "You smell stinky~ not as nice as before."

Although she said that, her hand didn't let go.

Even with the alcohol smell, it was still that big white guy whose hug felt so comfortable and relaxing~

Bai Liang said in a gentle tone, "Sorry about that, I just bought a toothbrush and toothpaste at the convenience store by the door to freshen up a bit, but we really drank a bit too long."

"Mm-hmm~ right, the hangover cure."

Now the assistant couldn't keep playing quail any longer, poked her head out from the driver's seat, and handed over the medicine and thermos. After Bai Liang took it, she slowly started the car and drove toward the hotel parking lot.

Along the way, the two in the back seat didn't say anything either, seemingly enjoying this somewhat quiet time.

After the car drove back, the assistant was in a bind again.

Sis, are we still getting out of the car?

"Lingling, go back and rest first."

Hearing this, the assistant first breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately got her scalp tingling again.

What are you two trying to do in the car?!

She instinctively turned her head to look, but met Bai Liang's gaze.

When he got in the car, the alcohol smell on him was quite strong, but at this moment his eyes were still clear.

The two exchanged a glance, and after Bai Liang gave her an affirming look, the assistant Lingling finally breathed a sigh of relief.

How to put it, she was a little worried Reba would act rashly, but she trusted Bai Liang a lot.

"Brother Dou Xiao Bai, I'm counting on you."

After the assistant vanished, only the two of them were left in the car.

Dilireba still didn't speak, she just nuzzled her head into Bai Liang's chest, and after smelling the alcohol she scrunched up her nose, "How much did you drink?"

"Just a little~"

"Liar, you guys drank for almost five hours, and the alcohol smell is still that strong."

"Then why are you still sticking this close?"

That sentence inexplicably made Dilireba flustered.

Having spent time together through two films, even though the interactions between them had grown increasingly intimate and ambiguous, some things had never been broken through.

Like self-deception, but sometimes it's really needed.

The complexity of human beings is fully displayed in this aspect.

Fooling oneself will never go out of style.

But what let her breathe a sigh of relief was that Bai Liang still wasn't planning to do it this time either.

Instead, he skipped past that topic, "You could have waited until after I finished eating to come pick me up, and I still have Yanzi."

"Yanzi?!" Dilireba exclaimed, "Did we leave her behind?"

"Cough cough, not really, she helped send Wu Jing back, that old bro drank so much he couldn't even stand steady." Bai Liang casually bragged about tonight's achievement.

That mere Wu Jing, taken down with ease.

"You're amazing!"

Look at that, even giving emotional value now~

Bai Liang couldn't help wanting to laugh, lowered his head to look at her, but accidentally smooched Dilireba's forehead.

"Your forehead is quite broad."

Miss didn't even bother with him, because she didn't know Bai Liang did it unintentionally, and thought it was some kind of signal from him.

She was torn.

But she couldn't help looking up at Bai Liang, the car was dark, but their eyes could see each other clearly.

The night is, at certain times, the best protective coloring.

Ambiguity sneaks within, as if it can wantonly spread and expand, making the two press closer and closer.

At this moment, Dilireba suddenly thought of a strange "knowledge point."

When Bai Liang got in the car, he seemed to have said: he specifically bought a toothbrush to brush his teeth?

Why brush his teeth?

Dilireba couldn't quite figure it out, but she felt inexplicably flustered, and instinctively asked, "What did you guys talk about today, for so long?"

"About his new movie, he's asking me to play a role."

"That's good news, congratulations."

"But he has no money."

"Then you didn't take it?"

"I took it, but I won't get a single cent."

"That's too much of a loss, it's easy to get impulsive when discussing things at the dinner table."

"It's alright I guess, the other party said they'd convert it into box office share for me."

"That still depends on whether his movie's box office does well. Hopefully the movie will be a huge hit."

Hearing this, Bai Liang thought for a moment. Well, barring any accidents, it would absolutely be a huge hit—the kind that could stun a whole crowd of people.

Thinking it through, when Wu Jing had worn an apologetic face and said he could only offer a share of the box office revenue, that embarrassed look on his face had actually been pretty amusing.

Of course, since Bai Liang had taken "such a big loss," the pay had to be bumped up too.

Sister Yanzi was a born haggler, especially with Wu Jing having drunk so much.

Bai Liang had already started thinking about how to spend all the money later on—this time it might be a little bit difficult.

"In a little while, it'll be your birthday, right?"

"You remembered~ But isn't that a bit too early?"

Not early, not early. There's a little fellow-townsman of yours, born in the same year and from the same place, whose birthday is just one month earlier than yours—very easy to remember.

And Bai Liang even added: "Actually, I meant next year's birthday. This year's money is all allocated already—I probably can't afford too expensive a gift."

"Huh? You're out of money? I still have some here, I can lend it to you."

"I said it's allocated, not spent. Of course, if you absolutely insist on giving it to me, thirty or fifty million—I can help you spend it too."

"Where would I get thirty or fifty million?"

"You definitely will later on~ You might even earn three or five hundred million." Bai Liang roughly calculated for her and felt it might be even more than that.

"That much—how could one person ever spend it all~"

Dilireba seemed to be sighing in wonder, but her voice was getting closer and closer to Bai Liang.

After the last word was spoken, Bai Liang suddenly felt his earlobe go wet.

Then a wave of warmth—

Oh my~

She really did love Bai Liang's ears—she had to kiss this side first.

It's just that people are always greedy.

Those slightly cool lips quickly swept across Bai Liang's cheek, coming to check whether he had actually brushed his teeth properly.

Under the night sky, inside the car, a girl with closed eyes was earnestly and clumsily taking what she wanted.

Extra proactive, as if seized by an urgency to grab every hard-won opportunity.
