Chapter 149: No One Else in Sight, Everywhere Is You

What time is it?

It's ten-thirty. Should we go back?

Mmm~ Let's walk back holding hands.

Hearing this, Bai Liang was genuinely stunned—he wondered, is she planning to go public?

He had just been thinking about asking Dili Reba to reapply her lipstick

But he wouldn't refuse a girl's request like this—he first took her hand, then asked, "Aren't you afraid the paparazzi will snap photos, or that your coworkers will see?"

Dili Reba shook her head, a strange expression flickering across her face; paired with her slightly flushed cheeks, she looked almost fragile: "No one will see. And just this once."

She spoke those last words softly, but Bai Liang heard them clearly.

He felt a quiet sense of helplessness inside.

You girls from the entertainment industry—all of you are "unwilling to take responsibility"!

"Then let's go~"

As for whether anyone would see them, Reba's heart was full of wishful thinking—just gamble it.

They're still promoting their CP right now; there's no better chance than this.

After this phase ends, she won't even know how to find an excuse to see Bai Liang again.

To hell with it all!

Hope there aren't any "spectators"~

After all, Dili Reba felt she could achieve "No one else in sight, everywhere is you."

After leaving the parking lot, Reba's assistant clearly had no intention of going straight to sleep.

She was terrified!

She feared her sister might lose control and give in to passion right inside the car.

What if tomorrow's trending topic is "Car Shaking"?

Just thinking about it made her feel the sky was falling!

She wanted to go check on them, but dared not—and deep down, she didn't really want to interrupt either.

In the end, she wavered like a spinning top, pacing back and forth inside the hotel.

She'd run to Reba's room to check if she'd returned, then peek out the window in the hallway, and when she couldn't hold it anymore, she'd rush down to the hotel lobby.

"Hey, Lingling, what are you doing here? Where's Reba?"

Seeing Zhu Zhu Xudan's bunny-like face, Lingling had always liked it—but tonight, at this moment, seeing her triggered an unexpected stress response.

"Huh? Sister Reba's asleep. I'm just wandering."

"Then get some rest early~" Zhu Zhu Xudan stretched lazily and yawned, "I'm going to bed too—I'm sleepy."

Exactly! If you're sleepy, just go back to sleep already!

As Lingling grumbled inwardly, her eyes widened the next second.

Because the Dili Reba she'd been hoping would return soon had just come back—

And beside her was Bai Liang. The two were huddled in a corner by the hotel entrance, whispering and fumbling with each other.

And Lingling clearly saw her sister Reba tiptoeing to "bite" Bai Liang's cheek.

Are you insane?!

"Oh my god!"

Zhu Zhu Xudan usually had poor eyesight, but tonight, as if she'd activated eagle vision, she instantly locked onto the two "love-struck fools," clapped a hand over her mouth, and barely stifled a scream.

Lingling stole a glance at her, thinking: Should I just kill her to silence her? Sure, the girl's close to Reba—but she's got a loose tongue. What if she accidentally blurts it out~

But Zhu Zhu Xudan was even more panicked than her—she immediately scanned around: "Is anyone else here? This is insane!"

Of course there is!

At that moment, a paparazzo who normally lurked outside the hotel was ecstatic, his camera shutter clicking so fast his hand seemed to blur.

But the next second, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his arm—a bug of unknown species had bitten him.

So painful!

His hand jerked, and the camera clattered to the ground.

He wasn't panicked yet—just dropping it shouldn't destroy the footage he'd just captured.

But the spot where he stood was a slight slope, and the camera slid smoothly down it.

Roll, roll, roll—then thud~

It landed in a small pond beside the hotel.

To be precise, it was just a decorative pond, man-made by the hotel.

The next second, the hotel staff activated the fountain—its spray was strong, lifting the camera up again, then slamming it apart into pieces, the core components finally sinking back into the pond.

Paparazzo:???

Wait, did his camera commit a sin against heaven?

Why not just boil it in hot water?!

When he turned back, Bai Liang and Dili Reba had already walked into the hotel lobby.

At this hour, the hotel lobby had only one staff member on duty.

Right now, she was being detained by Zhu Zhu Xudan and assistant Lingling, who had blocked her completely.

One moment asking for tape, the next asking for envelopes—the hotel staff was internally muttering: Why are you two so difficult?!

But Lingling and Zhu Zhu Xudan's hearts were also crumbling: Can't you two just hurry up and get in the elevator?!

Stop dawdling!

If you keep stalling, we're going to have to ask the staff for tampons too.

Fortunately, Dili Reba seemed to hear their thoughts; after glancing at their backs, she pulled Bai Liang into a quick run toward the elevator.

The two decoys internally: Phew~ Finally gone.

Huozu Sect!

Inside the elevator, Dili Reba was still relieved: "Good thing they didn't see~"

Bai Liang nodded, giving a thumbs-up: "We're lucky."

The elevator arrived quickly.

After the doors opened, Dili Reba hesitated, reluctant to step out.

If Bai Liang hadn't gently reminded her that there was still a camera above their heads, given her current mental state, she'd have surely pulled off some delightfully chaotic mischief.

But after exiting the elevator, it was the same.

Bai Liang could react to Huang Jingyu's "ambush," but not to Miss's wall-hug.

All because of Wu Jing!

Drinking with him had numbed his nerves.

After giving himself this excuse, Bai Liang obediently let himself be pinned against the wall, "enduring" the "humiliation" of his body.

Oh right, because of his height, he had to slightly bend his knees, or else Dili Reba couldn't reach.

He was so thoughtful!

No, too "humiliating."

Too outrageous!

Huang Mengyin felt she'd merely stepped out into the hallway to look at the stars—why was she being fed this dog food?

More importantly, what should she do?! These two were kissing right in the hotel hallway—utterly audacious!

And while they were doing something wrong, she had to hide.

What crime had she committed?

While the two hadn't noticed, she dodged left and right, hiding herself in a corner.

She exhaled deeply.

Finally, Dili Reba let go of Bai Liang; the two were about to part at the room door.

Huang Mengyin saw this and sighed in relief, thinking: now Bai Liang will either leave or go inside.

Either option was acceptable, as long as they didn't continue this spectacle in the hallway—her heart couldn't take it.

Yes or no?

Bai Liang: No!

He neither walked away directly nor entered Dili Reba's room; instead, after she opened the door, he launched his counterattack.

One hand seized both of hers, forcing them high above, while the other hand had its own ideas—climb mountains if it wanted, dive into the sea if it wanted, wander through forests wasn't out of the question either.

Meanwhile, his mouth didn't stop, kissing her until her eyes widened, then slowly closed, even beginning to seek more.

Huang Mengyin: Fuck!

She'd just prepared to step out—and these two started again?!

Worst of all, the door behind her at that moment opened.

The occupant was another actress from their company, named Dai Si.

"Huh? Miss Huang, what are you doing here?" "I—I just came out to look at the stars. Wow! Dai Si, your skin looks amazing today!"

"Really?"

"What are you going to do?"

"I want to dry a piece of clothing."

Dry clothing? The laundry room isn't on this floor—Dai Si must take the elevator, which means she'll pass right by Dili Reba's room door.

Huang Mengyin sighed inwardly: Brother Dou Xiao Bai, let me help you one last time!

So she grabbed Dai Si's hand and launched into an endless chat about cosmetics.

Holding her hand was mainly to prevent her from "running off" and accidentally seeing the kissing pair over there.

After all, Dai Si was also a Xinjiang Miss; in a certain sense, she was an internal competitor to Dili Reba.

Who knows if she'd go tattle?

These days, the "going insane" niche is slowly being carved out, with new players emerging every so often.

To be safe, stall her.

By the time Bai Liang and Dili Reba "separated," the girl's lips were already red as if freshly coated with lipstick.

!. Read

She even seemed slightly unwilling, instinctively leaning forward to chase after another kiss.

Only when she came to her senses did she realize how dangerous a place she was in—and how outrageous what she'd been doing!

Waves of dread washed over her~

So thrilling!

But her luck was truly good—no one had noticed at all!

After Bai Liang finally left, she entered her room, leaned against the door, and still felt her heart pounding.

A small part was due to the stimulation of the environment; the rest goes without saying.

Huang Mengyin was finally freed; to avoid seeming strange, she voluntarily suggested going to the laundry room with Dai Si.

On the elevator ride up, they happened to meet Dili Reba's assistant and Zhu Zhu Xudan.

All these girls lived on the same floor.

Dai Si found it strange—why did everyone look so odd? Had something happened?

They exchanged greetings, neither in the mood for small talk.

"Sis, are you alone in your room?"

Without even knocking, though Reba's assistant was quite cautious.

After all, if she had knocked, Bai Liang wrapped in a bath towel coming to open the door would have been awfully awkward.

But just five seconds after she sent that message, Reba opened the door, acting quite well, pretending to yawn:

"You haven't gone back to rest yet? I was about to sleep~"

"Sis, why is your face so red?"

"I-I had a little drink."

Brilliant!

The assistant really wanted to ask whether that "drink" was taken from Bai Liang's mouth, and how the lipstick on his lips had so magically vanished.

But looking at Dilireba's current state, she couldn't quite bring herself to.

"Good night~"

Nothing more that night.

The next morning, Yang Mi was surprised to find that several actresses in the crew seemed not to have slept well.

Zhu Xudan yawn after yawn, Huang Mengyin's dark circles blatantly obvious.

Dilireba was the most outrageous of all, head wobbling, eyes squinted, looking so adorably dazed she might fall asleep any second.

What, did they all hold a late-night team-building session last night?

She grabbed one at random to ask, and the answer was simply that they hadn't slept well.

There was something strange about this.

But she didn't have time to "deal with" these youngsters for now; her main attention was still on Bai Liang, who was as energetic as ever today.

Tsk~

Young fresh meat, full of vitality indeed.

These days, one of Yang Mi's fixed morning routines is brushing up while watching Bai Liang get up and jog outside the window.

A young body brimming with hormones works better than coffee!

"Can you quietly reveal what Wu Jing came to find you for?"

Hearing Yang Mi's question, Bai Liang thought for a moment. "I don't know if I can say. How about I ask him right now? Though he might not be up yet—he drank quite a lot last night."

"Even if you don't tell me, I can guess—he wants you to act, right~"

Bai Liang spread his hands, neither confirming nor denying.

If she figured it out herself, it was none of his business.

Around noon, Wu Jing came again.

His tolerance was indeed impressive; Bai Liang had expected him to sleep until the afternoon.

This time it was a proper set visit, and he even had someone buy drinks and fruit for the crew.

Judging by the grade, he really has thrown all his money into the film now.

As hostess, Yang Mi chatted with Wu Jing briefly, then looked at Bai Liang again with an extra layer of strangeness in her eyes.

Little brother, why are you like a mystery box?

After Wu Jing left, she immediately tossed Bai Liang a wild line: "You know how to shoot too? When will you let sis see it in action?"

Bai Liang initially thought she meant the biubiubiu kind of gun—after all, some suggestive jokes that men would smirk at might not carry the same innuendo coming from a woman's mouth.

But after meeting Yang Mi's eyes, he confirmed it: this older sister was teasing him again.

A seasoned driver with a mouth full of wild lines, always flooring it into the fast lane.

"If sis wants to see it, anytime works." What Bai Liang said really did mean the biubiubiu kind of gun.

"Pfft~" Yang Mi spat, because her own original intent had been suggestive, so naturally she read Bai Liang's meaning the wrong way too, and immediately changed the subject: "Is your schedule free enough to film? Don't you have to join Director Han Han's crew afterwards?"

"Should be just enough. If it really doesn't work out, I'll take a few extra days off from our crew, and later there's still some promotion to do for 'Weiwei.'"

Yang Mi's face changed instantly, staring at Bai Liang with a "you little rascal, what did you just say" expression: "You've only been with the crew for how long, and you already want to ask for leave~ I haven't even taken any leave myself."

"Not just me, Reba too. The two of us have to appear on a few shows together."

"Do you realize you're being a bit excessive?"

Bai Liang looked a bit puzzled. "Isn't this our company's fine tradition?"

Ah, this~

Yang Mi, who had been counter-checkmated, felt a little awkward, but didn't show a single crack on her face—in fact, she went with the flow:

"Can't be helped, sis is miserable, shackled by capital. If someone could help out, Reba and I wouldn't have to work so hard—I feel like I'm already aging."

"That hasn't happened though. Just the day before yesterday I saw your 'girlish vibe' topic trending again—the photo was taken on the trailer, right?"

The words sounded like a compliment, but Yang Mi unconsciously ground her teeth.

Stinky kid.

The enemy not only refuses to surrender, but dares to counterattack? —

Four updates, fifteen thousand words, see you tomorrow, muah~

By the way, the first batch of character cards has been added, bros can go like and add Star Radiance points for the female stars you like~

Subsequent screen time will also take this kind of data feedback into consideration.
