Chapter 465: Directly Declare War on the Whole World!

Bai Liang arrived at the lounge and stared at the box on the table, feeling something was off.

If this scene played out in a movie or TV drama, the box would surely contain a bomb.

It was a square box, and when he lifted it, it wasn't particularly heavy.

Honestly, he quite liked surprises like this—where you didn't know what was inside.

But just as he was about to open the gift, someone knocked on the lounge door.

When he opened it, he found Zhang Yuci standing there.

The moment he saw her, Bai Liang couldn't help but recall Big Mi Mi's description: "Fucking double-sword turkey~"

Fortunately, she had come with empty hands—no knives in sight.

"Hi! Wow~ So hot!"

This sister was incredibly forward and blunt; the moment she saw Bai Liang, her eyes visibly brightened.

After greeting him, Zhang Yuci noticed him unpacking the package and said nothing—instead, she warmly stepped over to help.

Women, it seemed, had a natural talent for unpacking parcels and express deliveries.

Bai Liang, lacking scissors, was still fumbling for the tape's edge, trying to peel it open.

But Zhang Yuci took the box, used her fingernail to apply slight pressure, and sliced right through it.

This trick left Bai Liang stunned for two seconds—he couldn't help but stare at her nails.

"Impressive, right?" Zhang Yuci raised an eyebrow at him.

"Impressive, impressive—how'd you do that? Did you file your nails?"

"I'm not a thief, why would I file them? It's a technique. Come here, let me see your hands."

Somehow, this move felt familiar.

Still, Bai Liang handed his hands over, letting her cradle them in both palms as she stroked and examined them thoroughly.

Finally, Zhang Yuci feigned disappointment, shaking her head: "Your nails are cut too short—you won't be able to learn this trick."

Though she complained his nails were too short, her hands showed no aversion—she seemed to genuinely like his hands: neatly trimmed, neither overly soft nor overly rough.

He pulled his hands back after two tugs.

It was clear: double standards were everywhere.

A few days ago, when Luo Zhixiang collapsed, Zhang Yuci—who had collaborated with him on The Mermaid—posted a video of herself cutting up an octopus, heavily implying something.

She'd even written in her post: "Too many legs? Better to cut them off."

But honestly, Bai Liang had a dark nickname too: Octopus.

His main difference from Luo Zhixiang? No one came to beat him up.

This might be one of the entertainment industry's little unsolved mysteries.

And yet, the very Zhang Yuci who had just mocked Luo Zhixiang now treated Bai Liang in a completely different way.

At that moment, Bai Liang remembered Sister Yanzi's warning again: "Little White Brother, hold on tight!"

Before coming, Bai Liang had thought: What's there to hold on to? He wasn't some superhero—could he really take on thirty at once?

Even Ip Man could only handle ten.

But just as Bai Liang pulled his hands back, he accidentally knocked the box off his lap.

The box had already been sliced open by Zhang Yuci's nails, and she'd even neatly cut away the surrounding tape.

So when the box tipped over, everything inside spilled out with a rustle.

Nothing broke, but the moment they saw the pile, the atmosphere in the lounge froze.

It was all 001 Ultra-Thin—three per pack—and there were roughly twenty boxes in total.

Bai Liang:???

Did Big Mi Mi send him a whole crate of this?!

And called it a gift?

Didn't she know he never used these?

Zhang Yuci was clearly stunned too—mainly because she hadn't expected this kid to be so direct.

Yes, direct!

Though online jokes joked that the Immortal had fallen into a den of women and should watch his health, practice restraint.

But those were mostly teasing remarks.

Who could've imagined this kid was serious? Why else prepare so much?!

But a big sister was still a big sister—she wouldn't blush like a little girl or ask, "What are you planning?"

"Extra large."

Zhang Yuci idly picked up one, muttering under her breath.

After saying it, her expression turned strange—her eyes flickered, as if something clicked, and she suddenly understood.

After this sequence, she helped pick up all the scattered items and put them back into the box.

But as she picked them up, whether intentionally or not, she didn't bother covering her chest.

There it was—bright and clear.

Bai Liang saw everything he should and shouldn't have seen!

Hmm. Not to be underestimated!

Compared to Big Mi Mi's rare, delicate curves, Zhang Yuci had a broader frame, making her slightly "sturdy."

But precisely because of that, what she bore was naturally full and appetizing.

After helping him tidy everything up, Zhang Yuci finally couldn't hold back—she smiled faintly and asked: "Can you use all of this?"

Bai Liang honestly shook his head—he didn't use any of it, period.

Seeing him look so "honest," the older sister felt a wave of "heart-melting" familiarity.

Aiyao~ So cute!

"Want some help?"

Before Bai Liang could say anything, Zhang Yuqi realized her behavior had seemed too Tang Tu.

She quickly changed the subject: "Uh, I won't disturb you—rest now."

At that moment, she felt slightly warm, and used her hand as a fan to cool her neck.

Clearly, she no longer had the bold, straightforward demeanor she had at first.

After she slipped away, Bai Liang couldn't resist calling Big Mi Mi.

The other side seemed to be waiting for this call—she answered almost instantly.

After the call connected, laughter came first: "Liked the gift?"

"Big Mi Mi, are you pulling a prank?"

"What prank? It's meant for you~" Big Mi Mi hummed on the other end.

"I was thinking I…"

"Hey! Doesn't it depend on the person? Your thirty women—who knows if any of them are decent? What if they carry something nasty, and you pass it on to me? I'm protecting myself!"

Listening to her rambling, Bai Liang thought: Hmm… there's some sense to that.

But this logic felt off… Did he really have to go through with it?

Could he skip it? Not because he was afraid—mainly worried his stamina wouldn't keep up.

Stamina?

At this topic, Big Mi Mi couldn't help glancing down at herself, thinking… she couldn't produce anymore~

She couldn't replenish his stamina.

Maybe he should just eat more eggs and drink more milk?

Talking with an older sister had this advantage: say something spicy, and she'd snap back faster than anyone—with something even spicier.

It was incredibly fun to chat.

But unfortunately, Big Mi Mi was very busy—now was the resumption season, and she had plenty of work to do.

After Bai Liang hung up, someone else arrived.

Earlier, only Zhang Yuqi had come because she was the only one who saw Bai Liang arrive at Mango TV.

So she got here first to say hello.

Now, the others were only just catching on—or had just heard the news.

Soon after, Bai Liang's place grew lively.

And there was almost no chance left for one-on-one moments like before—some of these older sisters had already started forming groups.

They weren't young girls; after learning the show's rules and filming schedule, they quickly realized the necessity of sticking together.

At least in the early stage, the older sisters with strong professional skills were especially popular.

When the fifth sister cast a suspicious glance at the box of "tools" on the table, Bai Liang finally realized—he quickly hid it away.

But it was clearly too late!

One person knowing might still keep it secret; two people knowing meant the risk of it spreading was high.

Three or more knowing? Done! If even one of these thirty sisters didn't know about this, her social skills were definitely terrible!

Hiding it now was useless.

Big Mi Mi had caused serious trouble.

Bai Liang originally thought being tricked like this would ruin his work—he was sure these sisters now saw him as a lecherous schemer.

But during later interactions and chats, he realized it wasn't like that at all.

Some sisters who had initially kept their distance grew much closer to him after discovering his "little secret."

Their speech became less formal and stiff; they started joking around.

Bai Liang: So… the 0.01mm ultra-thin distance really does bring people closer?

Got it!

Big Mi Mi was truly Big Mi Mi—just a subtle move from afar, and she'd already solved Bai Liang's ice-breaking problem with these sisters.

Of course, this trick isn't recommended to copy.

It relies too heavily on modeling, economics, and other objective factors—lose any one, and the effect drops drastically.

Later-arriving sisters even wanted to search through the small box of "tools" in Bai Liang's resting room.

Because they hadn't seen it, they seemed slightly disappointed~

As the sisters came and went, most were meeting Bai Liang for the first time—just saying hello, chatting briefly.

But some young ladies, after arriving, clearly didn't want to leave.

Take Jin Da Xi and Zhang Tian'ai—they even wanted to fight right here in Bai Liang's room~

These two young ladies clashed fiercely.

Bai Liang couldn't help asking, "Aren't you two colluding to stir up drama for the show?"

"Who's colluding with her? Ugh~"

Jin Da Xi's reaction was pure showmanship—as if she genuinely found Zhang Tian'ai disgusting.

Zhang Tian'ai wasn't backing down: "Look at her—she's been targeting me since I arrived. Paranoid delusion—can't handle her own failure, so she blames others."

"Oh come on! You're trying to drag Big Immortal into this as backup? You shameless green tea bitch—do you know when I met him? Do you think he'll help you?"

Jin Da Xi's smug tone left Zhang Tian'ai stunned.

Then she couldn't help thinking… Shit!

These two had known each other since the time of "Wu Xin Fa Shi," apparently the year Bai Liang first debuted.

Jin Da Xi: Aside from Na Zha and Meng Jie, I've known him the longest—wouldn't have guessed it, huh~

Mostly because Jin Da Xi usually incites the girls to charge ahead while she herself rarely gets involved in such conflicts, so her presence in Bai Liang's life isn't strong.

After all, you can't force a girl who constantly declares she wants to be a "third party" to lead a charge.

As a result, few people realize how long her seniority is—or how close she is to Bai Liang.

Zhang Tian'ai, who had just been shouting back at Jin Da Xi without flinching, was now genuinely nervous.

Her eyes looked pitifully at Bai Liang: "Brother, you wouldn't help her bully me, would you?"

"Aren't you disgusting? A 1988-born old woman calling him brother?"

Jin Da Xi immediately jumped up, furious—she'd never even called him that.

But Zhang Tian'ai remained unfazed: "I'm 1992. I lied about my age just to join 'Sisters Who Make Waves.'"

This left Jin Da Xi speechless; inside, she couldn't help muttering: You're this shameless? You'll succeed at anything.

"Little White Brother, I heard you've got a treasure in your room—where is it?"

That cry made Jin Da Xi and Zhang Tian'ai both snap their heads toward Jiang Shuying and Mao Xiaotong, who had just arrived together.

The cry of "Little White Brother" had come from Mao Xiaotong.

Even Bai Liang was curious now: "Huh? How did you—"

Mao Xiaotong grinned: "Zhang Yuxi just suggested it outside. She said everyone should call you that—it makes us seem younger and adds more drama. Even Ning Jing agreed."

Sssss.

Bai Liang couldn't picture Ning Jing calling him "Little White Brother"—it just felt deeply weird.

Jin Da Xi immediately raised both hands and feet in agreement.

She shot a taunting glance at Zhang Tian'ai, as if to say: Even if you're shameless, you've lost your advantage now!

Zhang Tian'ai was genuinely annoyed: Is Zhang Yuxi crazy?

Ever since she arrived, she'd gained two enemies; now that her debts were piled high, she didn't care anymore—she just felt irritable toward everyone.

If all else fails, her script could be one against twenty-nine!

Directly declare war on the whole world!

Bai Liang saw her courage and determination, and silently gave her a like.

Honestly, appearances are deceiving—Zhang Tian'ai didn't look like such a fierce contestant.

Back in Japan, she'd been completely led around by the nose by Bai Liang, left looking utterly flustered.

While he was pondering this, the young lady's sharp gaze had already begun sweeping over the others.

Jin Da Xi glared back fiercely. Jiang Shuying, who had just learned Jin Qiaoqiao wasn't on this season's "Sisters Who Make Waves," now stood up straight, her eyes unyielding.

But she wasn't focused—she kept stealing glances at Bai Liang, which seriously weakened her combat effectiveness.

Unlike Zhang Tian'ai, whose "killer aura" right now was incredibly thick and pure.

It was as if she were saying: Today, I'm here to kill all of you—or be killed by all of you!

But when she looked at Bai Liang, her gaze instantly softened.

"Where's the treasure?"

At this moment, Mao Xiaotong didn't care about anyone's grudges or dramas—she only wanted to "hunt for treasure" in Bai Liang's dressing room.

After all, she had other "missions" on her person.

The whole "treasure" thing, she'd heard from the other sisters.

She'd overheard someone whispering with a mischievous grin—Mao Xiaotong had accidentally caught it.

So she'd rushed over to "catch" Bai Liang.

But after searching thoroughly, she hadn't seen anything suspicious.

"Stop looking—it was a prank. I already had someone throw it out."

"A prank? Who? Was it Lin Gou?" Jin Cheng chimed in casually.

Oh no.

Come on—mentioning someone's ex-boyfriend while walking the world? What's that about?

Wang Likun, who'd had almost zero presence until now, couldn't help internally muttering.

But looking at the carefree Jin Cheng, it didn't seem like she'd meant it intentionally.

Bai Liang: "Yes! It was him! When we have guest segments later, I'll definitely get him here for a public denunciation."

Good bro, thanks for taking this black spot for me!

After all, I can't actually blame Big Mi Mi—that'd blow up the whole vibe.

If Lin Genxin did this, it makes perfect sense.

A bad friend—what wouldn't he do?

But Bai Liang didn't even know Lin Genxin's ex was Wang Likun; otherwise, he wouldn't have dumped the blame on him.

He didn't know because Lin Gou, in this area, wasn't any better than him.

In fact, because he debuted much earlier, Lin Genxin's accumulated ex-girlfriends and gossip partners far outnumber Bai Liang's!

Bai Liang's gossip was more noticeable because his partners were famous and caused big scandals.

But Lin Gou dated one after another—from celebrities to internet influencers to total strangers. Just on this season of "Sisters Who Make Waves," there are at least two of his rumored girlfriends.

One is Wang Likun. The other is Jiang Meng Jie.

He even apparently had something with Zhou Dongyu—absolutely insane!

And since they're still friends, many netizens see them as evenly matched.

They could both be called the "Scumbag Brothers" duo.

Directly targeting Li Xin and Li Yitong's provocative sister-flower duo.

So, because there were too many, Bai Liang never even bothered to find out exactly which scandal-ridden girlfriends Lin Genxin had.

He was actually mulling over getting one for himself to play with later.

Wang Likun: Please don't~ if so, just eliminate me early.

In the half hour before the show's recording, the young ladies finally "let Bai Liang off," each going back to prepare on their own.

After all, the first episode required each of them to showcase their talents one by one, so they had to prepare a bit more.

Even Wang Likun, who already had thoughts of withdrawing, didn't want to embarrass herself right from the start.

Zhang Tian'ai and Jin Da Xi also temporarily stopped, but not reconciled—as long as both remained on this stage, they would definitely keep tearing into each other and competing.

Mm. Mao Xiaotong was the last to leave.

Because of Bai Liang's just-now blame-shifting move on Lin Genxin, that young lady didn't believe a single word of it, and was now here to "warn" him a little.

"You're not allowed to act recklessly, okay! I'm watching you!"

Bai Liang was speechless for two seconds; he now fully understood this young lady's playbook.

He didn't dawdle with her either. "Then are you going to stick to me and guard me tonight?"

"I'll see how it goes!"

"Fine~"

The show officially began recording. Bai Liang tidied his clothes and headed toward the studio hall.

The thirty older sisters were already waiting for him there.

As he walked through a fairly wide corridor, suddenly, the view before him opened up.

A series of faces—though touched by a bit of time's weathering, still mostly radiant—turned to him at once, each with a different expression, but all smiling.

Bai Liang stopped his steps, smiling back at all of them, as if waiting for something.

The older sisters whispered among themselves for a moment, then suddenly in unison:

"Little Bai gege~~"

After shouting it, they all burst into nonstop laughter; at this moment, they seemed more charming than flowers.

The older sisters are about to ride the wind and waves!
