Chapter 375: The Sister Duo Just Got Another Member

~15 min read 2,979 words

After leaving the mushroom house, Bai Liang felt the atmosphere between the two Li girls was a bit off.

It seemed like they were having a quarrel.

Especially Li Xin—she seemed to be avoiding Li Yitong.

When they arrived, the two had sat together in the back seat, but when leaving, Li Xin immediately jumped into the front passenger seat.

Bai Liang originally thought Li Xin was angry because she'd discovered the evil little cat stealing food.

But after asking twice and observing closely, it didn't seem to be that—and Li Yitong's slightly smug little expression didn't look like someone caught red-handed.

So before heading to the next destination, Bai Liang bought two cups of coffee, preparing to act as a "mediator."

If you're having a fight, just punch it out—don't sulk, or you'll ruin your health.

But Li Xin snatched both iced Americanos, "She shouldn't drink this."

"Huh? Is she on her period?" Bai Liang glanced at Li Yitong—no wonder she was so frantic last night; the timing was too precise.

But this kind of "suppressing the gun" behavior isn't acceptable.

Li Yitong looked utterly confused, "No way—I'd know if I was on my period! Xin Xin is just talking nonsense!"

Li Xin shot her a glance, "She should drink some Chinese medicine—she's acting weird."

Li Yitong was annoyed, "Who's acting weird?! Xin Xin, don't slander me—you're the one who rummaged through my suitcase and sniffed my changed underwear!"

Bai Liang:???

Wow, keep going—I'm loving this!

This made Li Xin genuinely embarrassed, but she quickly retorted, "I already told you—I didn't rummage! I just slightly unzipped your suitcase to trick you—who'd want to sniff your underwear?!"

"Hmph, there are plenty of perverts online who'd love to."

Hearing this, Bai Liang gave a thumbs-up.

That's right—human preferences are diverse.

Indeed, many people have unusual tastes for various "original flavors," and some are so extreme they want the smell as strong as possible.

Bai Liang once saw a netizen who said he loved girls' underwear and socks worn for days without washing, preferably soaked in multiple rounds of sweat.

Sometimes, because he read too fast, he realized what he'd just seen too late.

It made him grimace.

The two Li girls:???

Their eyes immediately turned suspiciously on Bai Liang.

But the evil little cat was surprisingly "generous": "Uh… if you want, I can give you one—but you can't give it to anyone else! Wearing it for days? No way—I can't stand it, it's so unhygienic."

Li Xin sucked in a sharp breath—without champagne, she truly couldn't handle this nonsense.

Stockings were her absolute limit!

But today she hadn't worn any, so she couldn't give him a farewell gift—she couldn't just pull off her own cotton socks and hand them to him~

Luckily, Bai Liang wasn't that abnormal—he quickly said, "I was just giving an example—I'm not a pervert, don't give me weird stuff like that, please just throw it in the washing machine."

"Clearly, Xin Xin is the real pervert—she's the one who sniffs~ In all my life, I've never met anyone this perverted," Li Yitong continued her attack.

"I told you already! I didn't sniff! I didn't sniff!" Li Xin was frantic.

Her fists clenched tightly, as if she wanted to punch a punching bag.

"If you didn't sniff, how do you know it had… had a smell?"

"What smell?" Bai Liang couldn't help asking.

He'd just asked that one stupid question.

After he asked, their eyes turned on him again.

This time it was more direct—he lightly slapped himself, signaling: "Carry on."

"Drink some Chinese medicine, I beg you."

"Stop being a pervert and a nymphomaniac, I beg you."

These two weren't really arguing—their words weren't even heated, nothing compared to the verbal battles between Zha and Reba.

But their conversation was unusually shocking, wildly explicit, and Bai Liang found it thrilling.

In the end, they concluded: Li Xin was a lingerie pervert, Li Yitong was the Shandong Big猛1.

Of course, the truthfulness remains unknown.

These were just accusations they hurled at each other—Bai Liang hadn't seen Li Xin actually steal underwear, and she had her own plausible explanation.

As for Li Yitong… logically, Bai Liang had strong grounds to judge: she clearly preferred boys.

Otherwise, what was that thing they did in the hotel last night?

My brother dressed as a girl and made me feel good?

But her behavior did raise suspicion—like how she always loved sleeping hugging girls.

Bai Liang had heard this from more than one person—Chen Yao had even told him about it; she'd been hugged to sleep by the Shandong Big猛1.

Of course, nothing bad happened—just cuddling.

If they weren't about to board, Bai Liang would've happily kept listening.

The three weren't on the same flight—they were going their separate ways.

Bai Liang's flight took off first, since he was always full of vigor, and landed last.

These two girls were both flying to Hengdian—they could keep bickering on the way to settle who won.

But just as he was about to leave, they suddenly "made up on the spot" and turned on him together.

"Big Brother Dou Xiao Bai, are you really leaving? Aren't you taking us with you?"

"So we've finally been rejected by Big Brother—unlike other sisters who are so pretty~"

【61】 "It's my fault for thinking too much—end up with nothing but foolish fantasies~"

"We can't compare to Miss Xinjiang; we're just plain folks, that's all."

"Brother must be tired, to brush us off like that."

"Enough, enough. Brother's always been this carefree on a normal day—it's little me being petty."

"."

"That's enough, alright? What kind of lines are those?" Bai Liang complained helplessly.

The two Miss Lis transformed on the spot into Miss Lin.

This scene of a person materializing out of thin air honestly sent goosebumps erupting all over.

One plus one is absolutely greater than two.

Moreover, the two of them, with their somewhat similar looks, used the same tone of voice to utter such affected words

Especially Li Xin—she even pinched up her fingers, a gesture straight out of opera performance, and at the same time her gaze snapped perfectly into place,

A single look hooked Bai Liang's footsteps, which had been about to leave.

He never really understood before why watching a qingyi or huadan perform opera, with all that heavy makeup, could still steal one's soul away.

But at this moment, Bai Liang seemed to grasp a little of opera's charm.

Li Xin: Nine years of Kunqu training—can you handle it?

Now the airport broadcast urging boarding rang in his ears, and on his right were the two Misses' bright, soul-bewitching eyes.

Bai Liang really was caught in a dilemma, wedged between left and right.

How's he supposed to leave? Maybe change the flight?

"Pfft~ alright, I'll stop teasing you, hurry on and go."

Fortunately, the girls chose to let him off the hook at that moment, and the two of them turned their heads and started "quarreling" again.

It looked like a quarrel, but in reality they'd already started a debriefing—tsk, turns out he really does fall for this! Heehee~

The xx sisters' combined battle tactics, first glimpse of their edge.

The Twin Beauties of Xinjiang? Would their Jiangnan girls' water-soft gentleness really lose out?

Well said!

So after Bai Liang boarded the plane, the moment he sat down he discovered that the seat beside him was also occupied by a Jiangnan woman

The instant he caught her profile, he froze for a beat.

He almost thought this was Li Xin or Li Yitong playing a prank on him.

At this moment, Bai Lu, who had rushed for the flight without even going to the waiting lounge, instinctively glanced up upon realizing someone had taken the seat beside her.

Just one look, and her whole body went rigid.

Then at that moment her assistant sitting behind her—who was also her bestie Xiao Juan—popped her head in and said: "Excuse me, sir, could we switch seats? I'm with her."

"Sure."

Bai Liang naturally wouldn't refuse such a chance to do a good deed for others.

By now he could also see clearly that the girl beside him wasn't Li Xin or Li Yitong, just somewhat similar at certain angles, that's all.

Actually, he'd known about this other person in the entertainment circle before—she was even a fellow clanswoman of his—only they'd never met face to face.

He had only caught a distant glimpse of her once at last year's iQiyi Scream Night, since their seats hadn't been arranged together.

Or rather, her status didn't qualify her to sit with him either; even the seats behind him weren't hers to take.

Another contestant in the look-alike sister-flower lineup, Bai Mengyan, stage name Bai Lu.

After this one became famous, she was also a regular topic in that little group chat of the girls, often brought up to tease Li Xin and Li Yitong.

The usual line was "Your sister-flower combo has another member~"

Oh right, and she's also Li Xin's fellow townsman—or so Jin Cheng put it.

But Li Xin said she was from Kunshan, while the other was from Changzhou—how are they fellow townsmen?

Forget Changzhou, even Suzhou isn't the same hometown as Li Xin, even though Kunshan belongs to Suzhou.

This is the great province of internal squabbling.

Unlike those three northeastern provinces, collectively called the Northeast, who are all fellow townsmen.

And at this moment, Bai Lu, hearing her bestie's words, finally snapped out of her daze, turned around and smacked her, "Don't trouble him! Xiao Juan, sit down and behave."

"Huh?" Xiao Juan was completely baffled—Bai Mengyan, what's gotten into you?

She glanced, somewhat uncomprehending, at Bai Liang, who was already about to get up, and the next second nearly let out a piercing shriek!

Fortunately she covered her mouth in time and held it in, but the groundhog-scream inside her heart she didn't hold back one bit.

At the same time she was sure Bai Mengyan was the same way right now.

"Um, Bai Mengyan, how about I switch seats with you?" Xiao Juan said enviously.

Bai Lu waved her hand directly, "Get lost!"

After saying that she realized something was off, and immediately composed herself, "Um... Mr. Bai, hello, I'm Bai Lu, also an actress."

"I know, you're quite famous—could you give me an autograph?" Bai Liang said with a smile.

"Aiya! No way, I've only debuted a little over two years, I'm still a newcomer"

Watching her own affected, theatrical bestie, Xiao Juan inwardly cursed a blue streak—Bai Mengyan, oh Bai Mengyan, what have you turned yourself into! Absolutely unhinged!

Normally when she laughs her mouth opens like a hippo's, yet now she's suddenly so ladylike—such a contrast!

This is the perk of hiring your bestie as your assistant: when bored you can bicker wildly and wound each other.

But right now Bai Mengyan was wishing her dear bestie would vanish on the spot.

Otherwise, how much "embarrassing history" would she be recording?

"Could we take a photo together?" Bai Liang asked after chatting with Bai Lu for a bit.

"Huh? Of course! That should have been my line"

The girl in the back seat, Xiao Juan, was genuinely sour—why did he voluntarily suggest taking a photo? Bai Mengyan, you bastard! Becoming a star is one thing, but you can't seriously expect the godlike guy to fall for you at first sight!

Both career and love thriving?

Bai Liang: I just wanted to take a photo to tease the other two girls.

During their conversation, he learned Bai Lu was promoting her upcoming series on iQiyi, titled "烈火軍校."

Hearing the name, he found it oddly familiar.

"Earlier, our company sent you an invitation, Teacher Bai."

"Oh right~ My agent mentioned you're from Yu Zheng Company, right? He was pretty persistent—sent me several scripts."

Bai Lu nodded. "Yes, yes."

She felt regretful inside, because Bai Liang hadn't accepted any of them—otherwise, she could've shared screen time with him.

Fortunately, besides refusing to work with her, he'd also refused to work with Wu Jinyan.

Currently, the most promoted artists under Yu Zheng's Huanyu are Wu Jinyan and Bai Lu.

And without doubt, after starring in "Story of Yanxi Palace," she had directly become Huanyu's top actress.

If not for last year's "Great Ming Splendor" overshadowing "Story of Yanxi Palace," that would've been the ultimate drama king!

At the time, Yu Zheng had even wanted to launch an online rant—he always loved to jump into the fray himself, otherwise his online reputation wouldn't have been so bad.

But after glancing at the pack of hungry capybaras, he ultimately didn't do it.

Having risen from a screenwriter to his current position, he wasn't just good at cursing, mocking, plagiarizing, or riding trends—he still had some sensitivity.

He knew perfectly well who he could attack and who he couldn't.

And besides "Great Ming Splendor," there was also "Know Me, Know You" ahead—caught between two fronts, he decided it was better to back down.

Compared to provoking a possible "massive trouble," making money and promoting artists mattered more.

Yu Zheng stayed silent, but frantically sent scripts to Sister Yanzi, wishing he could dump every single Huanyu script in her lap for review.

Unfortunately, his "acceptance rate" remained zero so far.

He even memorized the exact format of Sister Yanzi's rejection replies.

For Bai Lu, she'd already lost any chance of becoming top actress—she could only eat Wu Jinyan's leftovers.

But then, unbelievably, after her explosive rise last year, Wu Jinyan pulled another diva stunt—this time, treating the China Film Report interview on the Movie Channel with disdain.

She didn't know the details, but she knew her luck had turned.

Here she was, sitting on a plane, and Bai Liang just happened to sit beside her—this was pure good fortune!

She'd already written the script in her head!

Because of this chance encounter, Bai Liang developed feelings for her; they collaborated smoothly, won the annual drama king, and she soared to the peak of her life—if possible, she'd also snag him, date for a few years, marry, then have two kids in three more.

"Hehehe~"

Bai Liang: Why did this girl suddenly start laughing like an idiot?

She didn't seem very smart.

But he was starting to understand what netizens had summarized.

Li Yitong looks beautiful when she smiles, Li Xin looks beautiful when she doesn't smile, and Bai Lu looks funny just by looking—【

After the plane landed, Li Yitong and Li Xin received a photo from Bai Liang.

The photo was naturally his selfie with Bai Lu—it left everyone who saw it numb.

Are you playing Happy Match-Three?

But even weirder was Bai Lu's side—after landing, she immediately posted her photo with Bai Liang on Weibo.

Caption: Chance encounter with a godlike guy—he's even more handsome than on screen!

Her own fans reacted normally enough, saying things like "envy," "so handsome," "Bai Lu is beautiful too," "Bai Lu is really coming up"—the usual looped phrases.

But the internet trolls who rushed over were different.

"Alright, alright, I finally get what this immortal guy likes—he collects matching sets."

"Now you can really play Happy Match-Three—wasn't he supposed to be recording a show with Li Yitong and Li Xin? Where are they? Did they get matched and eliminated?"

"Welcome to the Sassy Chick Sisters family—I'm actually looking forward to the scene where the immortal guy gathers all three. He's probably capable, right? Isn't 'The Ravages of Time' already putting those two together?"

"Bai Lu, push harder! First catch up to Li Yitong, then knock over Li Xin—you'll become the leader of the Sassy Chick Sisters!"

"What kind of name is 'Sassy Chick Sisters'? So ugly. Who gave girls such a nickname?"

"Who else? Girls gave it to girls. Ask the fans of the New Jiang Twin Beauties—they're ruthless."

"So here's the question: can all three together beat those two?"

"Unlikely. But the future looks promising—after all, they look alike, triple the fun."

"Stack them! Stack them! Stack them!"

"."

Oh no!

When Bai Lu realized she'd somehow been thrown into this "Sassy Chick Sisters" group, she was stunned.

She'd just posted a photo—how could this happen?

The comment section provided the answer: Li Xin had only posted a photo too~

But that photo was so famous—the early breakout image of Bai Liang—that even Bvlgari still wouldn't let it go, occasionally pulling it out for display.

It had the aura of a single image passed down through generations.

Just as she hesitated whether to delete the photo, her agent called—two words: Keep it!

"Sassy Chick Sisters" is indeed a terrible name, but if you can't handle this kind of pressure, what are you doing in the entertainment industry?

This isn't just an ugly group nickname—it's a way to ride Bai Liang's popularity.

And sure enough, Yu Zheng immediately liked and reposted Bai Lu's Weibo post, barely holding back from writing a full essay.

Having been rejected by Sister Yanzi's agency so many times, he was starting to feel a bit disillusioned with life.

He's made it to where he is today—surely he's standing high enough, right? Why do they keep turning him down?

His reputation under Yu Zheng's name still carries plenty of weight in the industry! How can they look down on him like this?

If Bai Liang only acted in films, fine—but he clearly acts in TV dramas too. Are Huanyu's productions really worse than anyone else's?!

Unconvinced!

The more it was like this, the more he wanted to "have" Bai Liang.

Mm. That's a pretty classic simp mentality.

In any case, after they met, Yang Mi said this to Bai Liang.

And, in a very flirtatious tone, added: "Do you want… to let big sis be your little simp?"

This woman really knows her stuff!
