Chapter 377: I really need you right now

Why is the success rate of getting together with a girl so high after taking her to a haunted house or watching a horror movie?

The Suspension Bridge Effect.

When a person is in a state of rapid heartbeat and quickened breathing, the brain misattributes this physiological reaction to the feeling of being attracted to the person beside them.

Experiencing intense emotional events together promotes intimacy.

And look, Yang Mi was clearly still not fully recovered from being scared; even though her speech and such were quite normal, some subconscious behaviors still exposed her inner state.

When getting out of the car, she actually reached out to pull Bai Liang, just like in the program.

If she had just been holding his arm, that would be one thing, but she actually went to hold his hand.

It was only after Xie Na whispered a reminder to her that she realized what she was doing.

However, people are quite prone to making mistakes in such situations, and the second mistake was... she actually brought Bai Liang back to her room without any concealment.

At least two people saw this scene.

One of them had their heart broken; standing at the door of their own room, looking from afar at the other room whose door had long since closed, they stood stunned for a long time.

No way, is Sister this direct?

Or did he ask for it?

If he asks, you give?!

After returning to the room, he closed his eyes, wanting to calm down... but the result was that the woman who had been hanging on the wall during the program recording suddenly popped into his mind, scaring him into a shiver.

Clearly, his cultivation was not yet up to par; he couldn't reach the realm where even seeing Sadako would make him regret why she came out head-first.

So he couldn't project himself as Ning Caichen; there was only fright, no surprise.

It was just too damn scary!

As a result, when he opened his eyes and saw the contraceptives placed in a conspicuous position in the hotel, he felt even more uncomfortable.

They wouldn't have already used them, would they?

That's fine, after all, bringing them doesn't count as giving them.

Bai Liang: Not at all, buddy doesn't like using this stuff~

Moreover, after entering the room, Yang Mi seemed to have some slight unspeakable difficulties; when Bai Liang naturally leaned over and his hand reached underneath, she suddenly froze, and then pushed him away.

Ah, this.

A fickle bad woman!

For this kind of uncommon situation, Bai Liang was a bit baffled.

"So, should I go?"

"What are you saying?" Yang Mi glared at him, indicating that there was no way this kid was getting away today.

But before that, she still had some preparatory work to do.

"I'll take a shower and change clothes first, what's the rush?"

"Shower later, anyway, we'll be sweating a lot by then."

"No, there's a smell on me."

"What smell?" Bai Liang sniffed, only feeling a fragrant scent.

As a result, Yang Mi reached out and lifted his chin, her lips slightly parted, lowering her voice: "A musky smell~"

She really is too good at this!

Bai Liang: Then I have to smell it even more.

So, he followed her, wanting to go into the bathroom to shower together, and was promptly pushed out.

Just as he was standing there baffled, unable to figure out the situation, Yang Mi, inside, looked at the underwear she had changed out of and let out a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, she knew she had leaked a little when she was scared earlier.

Damn the production team! Making it so scary, isn't this intentionally trying to make people make a fool of themselves?

Folding this thing into a ball, she was just about to throw it into the trash can, but after thinking about it, she hid it instead.

What if that shameless brat outside rummages through the trash? Although the probability is very low, it's not completely zero.

For a big sister player like her, if the other party discovered such an embarrassing thing, she would have no face left at all.

How could she maintain her dignity as a sister in the future?

Does she really have to become his little lapdog?

After finishing these preparations, Yang Mi completely relaxed, and only then did she open the bathroom door and poke her head out.

"I'm a bit afraid to shower alone, help me~ I'm scared."

As a result, at this moment, Bai Liang actually started acting coy, sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, and without looking back, said: "The best way to overcome fear is to face it, keep it up."

Hearing this, Yang Mi took a deep breath, "Don't force me to beg you!"

"Huh?"

"Please, I'm your little lapdog, brother~"

If not for the fact that a big sister knows how to play, this one sentence would immediately make one completely forget today's horror scenes.

At this moment, even if you threw a Sadako at Bai Liang, he might just play the role of Ning Caichen first.

As for whether he'd die or not, that's a matter for later.

This shower didn't take too long, and the two quickly moved to the bedroom, not even having wiped the water off their bodies.

However, Yang Mi had made preparations in advance; there were two beds in her suite, which could achieve perfect dry and wet separation.

It's just that, when the "music" in the room was about to enter the chorus stage, Bai Liang suddenly remembered a very important thing.

"Hey, did I forget to do the promotional voice-over when I was recording the program today?"

"Do you have to say this at a time like this? Don't stop."

"I have to call the production team later and have them add it in post-production."

"You brat, I'll kill you! Ouch, please..."

Bai Liang swore he didn't do it on purpose; after all, men, most of them have these little operations of thinking about this and that to distract themselves.

He was just letting his mind wander when he happened to think of this.

That won't do, he couldn't have come here for nothing.

As a result, he forced Yang Mi to fulfill the joke of "being his little lapdog" today.

A big sister pushed to the limit can imitate the sounds of any small animal.

——

"You wretch, I'll die at your hands sooner or later."

"Nonsense, in your current state, who would dare say you're over thirty?"

After putting on his bathrobe, Bai Liang brought Yang Mi a bottle of water and looked her up and down... the delicate, flushed look on her face made her look as if she had been drained of essence by a female demon. After thinking about it, he felt the word "plump" described her best at this moment.

Yang Mi took the water from his hand with a tremble and took a sip, letting out a long sigh of relief; she really was in urgent need of hydration right now.

However, looking at Bai Liang with his bathrobe open, the traces of sweat on his body—not even wiped off, and not knowing whose they were—shimmered slightly under the light, accentuating the shape of his muscles, exceptionally angular... making her unable to help but swallow her saliva.

She hurriedly diverted her attention and asked: "You didn't seem to have any interaction with Deng Lun today, do you have a conflict with him?"

"No, I'm not very familiar with him."

"Didn't you two film a drama together? 'Princess Agents'."

"Right, but back then on set, he didn't really play with us, and I don't know what the situation is now."

Back when they were on 'Princess Agents', this kid Deng Lun wasn't very sociable.

He hadn't been on Bai Liang's RV to play games, so what kind of friendship could there be?

However, Capybara wasn't a bully either; he wouldn't target someone just because they didn't take the initiative to join in.

So, no friendship, and no conflict.

But he guessed Deng Lun felt a bit stifled inside; Bai Liang could see it a little—this guy wasn't convinced.

Back on 'Princess Agents', the two's status actually wasn't that different.

At that time, 'Love O2O' hadn't aired yet, and Bai Liang mainly relied on his "treasure god" attribute to gain a wave of fans first.

And Deng Lun, speaking of which, only became popular less than a year later than Bai Liang; that 'Ashes of Love' aired only a few months after 'Love O2O'.

The time the two ascended to top-tier status could be considered one after the other; at the time, there were marketing accounts saying they were the new forces of the inner entertainment top-tier, both charging towards the positions of the Four Top-Tiers.

And then... Bai Liang exploded.

Directly unstoppable, hammering the Four Top-Tiers one by one to the ground, focusing on the theme of... "So you're the ones called the Four Top-Tiers?"

After that, no one discussed Bai Liang and Deng Lun together anymore.

The speed of ascension was too fast, leading to too large a gap.

The script that Yang Mi and Bai Liang talked about earlier, handed over by Guo Dou Xiao Si, 'The Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity', he was one of the male leads.

He was quite happy at first, but who knows what bastard said: "This is what Bai Liang didn't want..."

This bastard was Guo Dou Xiao Si himself.

It was when he was interviewed by reporters; who knows if he wanted to ride the heat or what, he revealed to the outside world that he wanted to invite Bai Liang to star.

At the time, it even got quite a few of Guo Dou Xiao Si's fans excited.

As a result, when it was officially announced, they were excited for nothing.

Although reason told Deng Lun that with Bai Liang's status, it was impossible for him to come and be the second lead for Zhao Youting—is this still the time of 'Eternal Love'?

So Guo Dou Xiao Si most likely invited Bai Liang to play the first male lead, Qingming, not his second male lead, Boya.

But essentially, the difference wasn't that big.

Bai Liang wasn't even interested in being the first lead of this film, and he was quite happy to take a second lead...

In comparison, it made him look even more inferior to the other party.

However, what made Deng Lun feel more ashamed was that he had actually fantasized about whether he could also take off if Bai Liang really came to play the first male lead.

Under such a complex and tangled mentality, it would be strange if he could remain calm when facing Bai Liang; it was already good that he didn't lose his composure, which showed that his emotional management was quite in place.

So much so that when they met today, Deng Lun didn't even know how to greet Bai Liang at first.

He couldn't learn from Huang Minghao and Wei Daxun, calling him "brother" right off the bat.

Huang Minghao is young, and Wei Daxun is shameless...

Instead, he, who is actually the same age as Bai Liang, was a bit stuck.

Very much like many young people today, unable to take off their long gowns, yet unable to put on tight pants~

But compared to this, Bai Liang felt that he needed to supplement some legal knowledge more, especially regarding taxation; this was still quite important.

"What are you thinking about?" After chatting for a few sentences, Yang Mi seemed to have recovered quite a bit of blood, so she reached out and hooked Bai Liang's bathrobe.

Pulling him towards her, her two legs went directly around him.

Having come to Sister's Spider Cave, you're not allowed to leave without being drained dry~

Although the big sister was acting wildly in the room as if she wanted to swallow Bai Liang alive, from her eyes to her lips, everything was "stretching".

But the next day, at the time of parting, she became inexplicably sentimental.

Dawdling like a little girl.

She even showed Bai Liang the little stone talisman she always carried with her.

It left her assistant stunned.

Sister, you don't really want to get married a second time, do you?

However, Yang Mi was indeed not a little girl; after being sentimental, she quickly returned to normal, smiling and asking: "I've checked, this thing comes in a set of twelve, who else have you given one to?"

"Gave Uncle Da a horse, hoping he's healthy; gave a little girl a sheep, fulfilling her little wish to film with me when she grows up; gave Ni Ni a dragon..."

Bai Liang counted on his fingers and introduced them one by one, but when he mentioned Ni Ni, Yang Mi raised an eyebrow and interrupted him.

"Ni Ni? What's the reason for her?"

"Oh, she was born in the Year of the Dragon, a birthday gift."

"Hahahaha... Year of the Dragon, you're killing me."

Yang Mi almost couldn't stand steady from laughing, directly leaning on Bai Liang, pressing against him, almost flattening him.

Before parting, she still wanted to give a wave of benefits... Sister is really too good!

Clearly, she was quite satisfied with Bai Liang's answer, so much so that she didn't want to continue listening to others.

At this moment, she was a bit reluctant to let him go.

However, soon she was willing.

Because Bai Lu, whom she had met on the plane when she came, had also entered the waiting room at this moment.

"Brother Dou Xiao Bai!"

The other party greeted Bai Liang with a face full of surprise, seemingly not expecting to meet again so soon; she didn't even see Yang Mi, who was wearing a hat and mask beside him.

And the form of address had naturally changed on the plane earlier; she was also more willing to call Bai Liang this way, rather than calling him "Teacher Bai", which felt strange and distant.

"Student Bai Mengyan, it really is quite a coincidence." Bai Liang also turned his head and greeted her with a smile.

Yang Mi almost kicked him directly, but fortunately, she held back.

At this moment, her gaze had already changed to: Get lost quickly!

Bai Liang indeed had to board the plane, and this time there was no peer sitting next to him on this flight.

As for Bai Lu, unfortunately, she was on the same flight as Yang Mi.

After watching Bai Liang slip away with reluctance, Bai Lu was just about to have an argument with her best friend; she had said to come early, come early...

As a result, when she turned her head, she met Yang Mi's eyes, which were smiling but not really smiling.

The pressure from a senior and a first-line female star made her unable to move instantly.

"Hello there~"

"Mi, Sister Mi?"

There was about an hour left until they boarded.

This meant Yang Mi could happily "torture" this little girl for an hour!

To be precise, it should be helping an artist under her old friend Yu Zheng accelerate her growth.

You're welcome, it's all what she should do.

Bai Lu: Wuwuwu~ If I had known, I would have come later!

——

"Will he come..."

Muttering in her heart, whispering with her mouth, looking at the door from time to time.

Dilraba, who was making final preparations for her birthday party today, had that posture of waiting for someone that anyone could see.

Moreover, the makeup artists, stylists on site, and even some people from the 'You Are My Glory' crew, all knew who she was waiting for.

After there were fewer people, her assistant Lingling poured a bucket of cold water, "Sister, Brother Dou Xiao Bai probably won't come; didn't the crew say they still want to use the original script plot?"

In the script of 'You Are My Glory', there is indeed a plot where the female star Qiao Jingjing holds a birthday party.

Initially, it was set that the male lead, Yu Tu, didn't attend, only watching the live stream on his phone.

But later, a version was changed, which was the script Bai Liang and Dilraba received earlier, where the male lead came.

As a result, it was changed back two days ago...

Another important reason was that Bai Liang might not be able to make it in time.

The crew had received his recent schedule; besides 'Back to Field' and 'Great Escape', he had other promotional announcements to run.

For example, he still had to go on an interview program with Chen Daoming.

Just calculating the time a little, one knew that he most likely wouldn't be able to make it.

The program recording couldn't run overtime, there couldn't be traffic jams on the road, the plane couldn't be delayed... everything had to be particularly smooth, and Bai Liang might just be able to catch the end of the birthday party.

Program recording overtime is a common phenomenon in the entertainment industry, and it's impossible for there not to be traffic jams on holidays in Yanjing.

And because of the influence of the summer typhoon, the Yanjing Meteorological Observatory had also issued an orange alert for heavy rain today.

Then, flight delays were basically certain!

If it upgraded to a red alert, it might just be flight cancellations.

Let alone today, he might not even be able to come tomorrow.

It's just that girls, the more impossible the situation, the more they will harbor some fantasies.

If only he could come...

Dilraba was naturally very disappointed with the change in this script plot.

After all, this was the most special birthday of her life, and of course, she hoped Bai Liang could come to the scene.

After peeking and poking several times, Dilraba finally chose to send a message to Bai Liang on her phone.

"Will you come?"

After waiting for a long while without receiving a reply, she thought Bai Liang should be recording the program right now, and his phone shouldn't be on him.

She simply sent a lot in one breath.

"I'm a bit nervous, I rushed to rehearse several dances, and I don't know if I'll dance wrong."

"I made a mistake during the last rehearsal today; clearly, the stage isn't as big as the Spring Festival Gala or the New Year's Eve Gala, and the audience are all my own fans."

"Maybe because I care about the fans, I just want to be perfect; do you think I have a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder? If only I could have your sense of relaxation~ feeling like I don't care about anything."

"No, it's not that you don't care about anything, you should care about me, right?"

"I heard them say there's an orange alert for heavy rain; fortunately, the fans basically came early, but there must be a particularly bad traffic jam in Yanjing city today; even if you get off the plane and come over, you might be trapped on the elevated road."

"Forget it, forget it, you'd better not come, I feel a bit dangerous just saying it..."

"But you shouldn't be able to get on the plane; they said flights might all be canceled."

"I seem to have a bit of a cold when I got up this morning, my throat is slightly uncomfortable, it's over~ when I wake up after sleeping tonight, my throat will definitely feel like it has a razor blade in it, I have experience."

"Haven't you finished recording the program yet? I'm going to make a scene?"

"Just kidding, scaring you~"

"What a pity, when we film later, you have to make up a birthday for me! I want a super big cake, you know what I mean~"

"..."

"... I really need you right now."

After sending this last sentence, Dilraba was ready to withdraw it.

After all, doing this always felt a bit like putting pressure on Bai Liang, and she didn't want the other party to have any guilt because of this.

And it's just a birthday, she's being a bit too sentimental.

It's not even "NetEase Cloud" time yet.

It's just that at this moment, Bai Liang, who had been quiet and seemed not to have looked at his phone, suddenly replied:

"I've set off."

"Huh?!"

At this moment, Bai Liang, who had just finished recording the program, looked at the heavy rain outside and then looked at his phone.

Although he didn't have an umbrella in his hand, he didn't wait for the car to come over, still stepping into the rain curtain.

This left Chen Daoming beside him stunned.

Is this kid stupid?

However, what left him dumbfounded came: in less than a second after Bai Liang stepped out, the rain in the sky stopped.
