Chapter 466: Little Bai Brother, You Come Be the Dragonfly Captain (Request Monthly Tickets)
"Oh no, why isn't he blushing?"
"His psychological resilience is just too good~ If it were me, I couldn't handle it at all."
"Impressive, impressive!"
"He's not even nervous! Really great~ I like him!"
"I like him too. Let's fight for him—the winner gets to take him home, how about that?"
"Count me in, I want to take him home too."
"Can we swap the first prize? I don't want to debut—I want Bai Liang Brother~"
"."
Crazy!
Even the production team hadn't expected that after Bai Liang appeared, these sisters seemed to have abandoned all pretense.
They instantly turned the scene into something utterly "beloved and anticipated."
Collective teasing~
Some of the sisters' gazes—saying they wanted to eat him alive—wasn't an exaggeration at all.
Of course, this was probably just the courage given to them by the crowd.
It was a case of quantity triggering a qualitative shift.
Without considering personal relationships, though all were sister contestants, if they were to interact privately, aside from a few with exceptional seniority or truly peculiar personalities, most sisters would still be quite courteous when facing Bai Liang alone.
Even, to put it bluntly, showing that kind of respect wasn't impossible.
Wang Ou's courtesy when she met Bai Liang at the airport proved it all.
Who would have thought they'd be this energetic now—actually winking at Bai Liang?
The change within a single day could be this drastic.
This is the magic of teaming up!
Fortunately, Bai Liang had seen it all, and he wasn't the least bit flustered by this "small scene."
Since they called him "Brother," he wouldn't be polite either.
"Hello, all my little sisters. I'm the witness to this group formation. Fearless of age, daring to act and win—this is 'Sisters Who Make Waves,' exclusively sponsored by xxx."
As a guest host, Bai Liang was, of course, highly unprofessional—his delivery was slow and languid~
But nowadays, many shows seem to prefer unprofessional hosts, mainly to showcase that contrast.
As for the sisters, they were naturally in no hurry at all.
Take your time, take your time—there's plenty of time~
The next segment was the arrival of the massive makeup team, as the sisters prepared for their initial stage makeup and costume changes.
The set suddenly transformed into a giant hair salon~
At this point, Bai Liang had nothing to do, so he strolled around with his hands behind his back; though he couldn't help, he also didn't cause any trouble.
He just watched whether any of the sisters felt like chatting.
Contestants who expressed interest or brought in memes naturally secured more camera time.
The sisters weren't newcomers—they knew this well.
So many called Bai Liang over to help with feedback and critiques, but some were currently uninterested in "dealing with" Bai Liang, focusing entirely on their makeup and styling.
The first episode's filming content was especially heavy, as each sister had to perform individually using her own prepared routine, followed by scoring from the judges.
Then, based on their initial stage scores, they would pick their next performance songs in order, forming teams of 3, 5, and 7 members.
Thus, the first episode was extremely important—it was the absolute best chance to showcase oneself!
Especially those sisters with professional skills, who were now pulling out all the stops to make a stunning debut~
For example, Jin Da Xi—despite being so familiar with Bai Liang—didn't even think of leveraging him for more camera time.
Aside from an occasional glance toward Tang Shiyi nearby, she didn't even bother with Zhang Tianai, holding her breath and waiting for her performance.
On the contrary, the "underachievers," knowing they couldn't compete on professionalism, instead focused on grabbing more camera time.
And to compete for camera time among thirty sisters, Bai Liang naturally became an especially vital "prop."
At first, they genuinely treated him as a "prop."
Two even placed bets on how long it would take before Bai Liang started repeating his compliments.
But as he strolled past, chatting and conversing with over a dozen sisters, finding unique angles to praise each one, not a single phrase was repeated.
Crucially, his praise wasn't vague or generic—it felt deeply sincere.
This realization made many feel it was truly insane!
When he genuinely made two emotionally expressive sisters tear up, nearly wanting to hug him or hold his hand and chat.
Sisters with higher "alertness" already sensed something was off.
This kid's level seems unusually high!
Of course, alertness aside, what makes sister contestants more mature than young girls is that they don't see things in black-and-white.
A high level and "liking" him don't conflict at all~
Isn't that even more worth liking?
It's just not quite what they imagined a little puppy dog would be like.
It felt like a massive central air conditioner, fully powered, blasting warm air indiscriminately at them.
The warmth was so intense, it felt as if global temperatures had risen.
Thirty minutes.
In just thirty minutes, Bai Liang transformed from the object of the sisters' collective teasing into their group favorite.
If they'd had any snacks on hand right now, they probably would've started feeding him already.
The production crew watched all this, unable to suppress their admiration: "No wonder you're the Immortal! You can control the stage in such a way!"
He'd never before shown the audience an effect like this.
Of course, no such variety show had ever existed before.
At the same time, facing thirty women was also Bai Liang's first time.
Unlike that time with the Star Ocean Young Actors Program, where all were young girls with thin skins—some couldn't even hold themselves together after speaking a few words to Bai Liang.
But these older contestants? So far, every personality type was present—yet not a single one showed shyness or stage fright.
Fortunately, after trying it out, he found it wasn't that hard.
Here comes another challenge~!
The production crew started stirring things up.
Two contestants had chosen the same song for their performance, but the crew hadn't told them beforehand.
Instead, they revealed it right now, during preparation.
Both were stunned.
What to do? Should they stubbornly sing their own versions, or should one switch songs?
Honestly, neither wanted to switch.
These two women weren't professional singers—they were both actresses, and for this debut stage, they'd each trained exclusively on this one song.
Asking either to switch would make the other feel crushed—who knew what chaos might arise from a last-minute change?
At this moment, both women simultaneously thought of Bai Liang.
Come on, Xiao Bai brother, you be the Dragonfly Captain.
Bai Liang:.
Damn, they're giving him this kind of problem in episode one?
This situation is just like "six leaders in a meeting, but only five chairs"—just hearing it makes your head ache.
Are there any friends from Shandong here? Friends from Shandong, lend a hand~!
Jin Da Xi: Don't cue me—I'm saving all my energy for the upcoming 'Release'!
If the 'Release' doesn't go well, she's definitely going to find Bai Liang tonight to help her release.
Of course, Jin Da Xi had also been paying a little attention over here, because what Bai Liang was facing right now wasn't just an ordinary 'Shu Luo Field'!
Because the two contestants with the same song were Li Fei and Qin Lan!
Clearly, their both appearing on this show was itself a publicity stunt.
Both were former girlfriends of Huang Huang Huang Huang Xiaoming.
If Huang Huang Huang Huang Xiaoming were standing here right now, he probably wouldn't dare say a single word.
Because anything he said would be interpreted in every possible way and spark endless chaos.
As for Bai Liang, he had no particularly good solution for such a scene either.
Fortunately, he'd prepared in advance—he pulled out his little crocodile.
Yes, the little crocodile was back!
He'd borrowed it specially from Re Ba.
The reason he borrowed it instead of buying another: a little fact—if he bought another, the little crocodile wouldn't be the one-of-a-kind little crocodile anymore.
Though it was just a cheap toy, costing only twenty-five yuan.
Meaning isn't always important—but sometimes, it matters more than anything else.
At the same time, only one little crocodile could exist beside Bai Liang and Re Ba!
And this meaningful little crocodile would now resolve the song dispute between the two women.
"Come on!"
"Will biting hurt a lot?" Qin Lan asked instinctively.
But as she spoke, Li Fei had already pressed down one of the crocodile's teeth.
Qin Lan, who had been afraid of pain, immediately refused to appear weak—she reached out and pressed another tooth!
The tension flared up instantly!
Online audiences today mainly know the story of Huang Jiao Zhu's ex-girlfriends through Li Fei, because it's said Yang Yang Yang Yang Tianbao overtook her to take her place.
So Li Fei has always had strong presence in Huang Jiao Zhu's story.
The three of them' story was widely known.
But the one before Li Fei was actually Qin Lan—whether there were any dramatic stories there remains unclear.
Anyway, some marketing accounts had cooked up a mix of truth and fiction.
But the two women on screen together at first seemed quite composed.
They even chatted a little.
But whether it was the production crew stirring things up, or whether they were just so in sync, having once been drawn to the same man, now they were drawn to the same song.
As the crocodile's teeth disappeared one by one, the atmosphere grew more solemn.
Li Fei's confidence grew stronger, while Qin Lan visibly grew more nervous.
She really was afraid of pain.
Fortunately, today's little crocodile was gentle.
When only one tooth remained, it still hadn't been bitten down.
Li Fei had already celebrated victory—clearly, the outcome was decided; she'd won, just like before!
But she didn't rejoice for long. What good was beating Qin Lan? She'd still lost to Yang Yang Yang Yang Tianbao.
At this moment, Qin Lan, face gloomy, prepared to press the last tooth—her hand trembling, bracing herself for the bite.
Bai Liang snapped the little crocodile shut with a click. "Sister Lan, what a shame~"
Qin Lan immediately exhaled in relief, glancing at him with gratitude. "It's fine—loser accepts the loss."
"Right now, the priority is picking a new song quickly—I'll help."
"Really? Thank you so much! Any suggestions, Xiao Bai brother~?"
Oh my, now she's being cute.
To be honest, back then Qiong Yao's line "One tear from Qin Lan equals one star in the sky" had some truth to it.
This sister was already forty, yet time seemed unusually gentle with her.
"Suggestion… Let me think. First, eat a candy."
Qin Lan chuckled at that—she was how old now, still eating candy? Treating her like a child?
Besides, this was already Bai Liang's second time giving her candy.
Hmm, last time she ate it; this time, of course, no exception.
Fine, I'll be a child then~
Even big sisters like being treated like little girls.
As Qin Lan savored the sweetness in her mouth, Bai Liang asked another question: "Sister, do you have a slight cold?"
"You noticed that too? You're so observant! My throat's a bit hoarse, so I was a little worried…"
Her voice was already in poor shape, and now she'd lost the song she'd prepared.
Qin Lan: Oh no~
But then Bai Liang suddenly became an idea machine. "Hey, Sister, do you know about EDM?"
"What's that?" Qin Lan blinked, tilting her head—adorably confused.
Sometimes, winning is losing, and losing is winning.
Hey~ They always say "Sisters Who Make Waves" isn't a girl group audition show—it's a big reality show!
Now, Qin Lan—who'd just lost her chosen song—had monopolized Bai Liang's time for over ten minutes.
The other sisters instantly felt a pang of annoyance; even with their asses, they knew she'd get tons of screen time this episode~
Li Fei, who'd been celebrating earlier, stared at her own hand and felt deep regret.
Why couldn't she have pressed the tooth that made the crocodile bite down?
So ungrateful!
It's just one song—give it to her.
Regret was clearly too late now, but Qin Lan's expression wasn't nearly as delightful as everyone imagined.
"Brother~ I don't want to embarrass myself." In her panic, she forgot Bai Liang's role on the show—she called him "brother," then gave him a pleading look.
Bai Liang tilted his head. "What did you call me?"
"Oh! Xiao Bai brother~"
Unlike when she'd called him that with everyone else, now, one-on-one, whispering like this, Qin Lan felt a flush of embarrassment.
She was a full cycle older than him—and still calling him "brother."
Soon, the hour-and-a-half makeup and costume change ended.
Time to see if they were horse or donkey.
The three "professional judges" now appeared: the music director and dance director were both industry professionals whose résumés screamed expertise.
As for the girl group manager… uh… Du Hua?
Yes, the founder of Yuehua Entertainment—who owned Wang Yibo.
Earlier, it was rumored Sister Yanzi had threatened her; logically, they should be enemies.
But since Sister Yanzi hadn't specifically warned Bai Liang, that meant: ignore her.
Sure enough, after seeing Bai Liang, Du Hua's attitude turned so warm it felt unnatural.
Good—they were Bai Liang's "opponents."
These people would give "professional" critiques. If they praised, fine. If they trashed, Bai Liang had to step in and defend the sisters.
Still, the debut stage seemed meant mostly for encouragement and compliments.
After all, you couldn't start with such heavy tension—if you really broke one sister's spirit, she might quit recording before even being eliminated.
The whole set radiated love and peace.
Of course, many sisters' debut performances were genuinely stunning.
Take Jin Da Xi, for example.
Though Tang Shiyi had just shown everyone what Chinese top-tier dancer level looked like,
Da Xi, knowing such a competitor existed, naturally avoided his territory in choreography and song choice.
Every detail—from styling to costume—was crafted with care and effort!
So her dazzling debut stage? A guaranteed win.
Honestly, even though Bai Liang knew Da Xi well, he still felt she was a completely different person on stage versus off.
As if dancing instantly skyrocketed her charm—so much so you couldn't help but swallow hard.
Of course, when she acted absurdly, her charm plummeted.
Sometimes you just wanted to smack her~
That's how Bai Liang's belt had snapped originally.
Pure divine-demonic duality.
But today, she clearly held the entire stage—and achieved one of her main goals: utterly crushing Zhang Tianai!
Dou Xiao Ai: You wait, you bitch! This is only episode one!
Her performance was decent enough, choosing singing and dancing—nothing outstanding, but certainly not among the bottom contenders among all the older sisters.
Added to that, she was unquestionably one of the top beauty contenders in this group, and notably younger.
With these advantages, she had zero fear of elimination—she was determined to clash fiercely with Jin Da Xi!
"Oh no, oh no! They're all so amazing!" Qin Lan muttered to herself, clutching her head.
Mao Xiaotong, sitting beside Qin Lan, asked curiously, "Sister Qin, what song did you switch to?"
"The song isn't the point—he said he'd give me support," Qin Lan repeated Bai Liang's exact words.
"Then there's definitely no problem."
Although she didn't know what Bai Liang was up to, Mao Xiaotong was well aware that aside from his unreliable moments, he was usually extremely reliable!
But then Mao Xiaotong suddenly remembered how Bai Liang had once participated in that actor show and pulled off some heretical shortcut cultivation method—suddenly, he didn't seem quite so reliable anymore.
You wouldn't treat Qin Lan, a sister regarded by viewers as a white moonlight, like a Japanese person, would you?
Qin Lan's performance order came fairly late; after she finished her song, the three "professional" judges furrowed their brows.
Of course, they knew what kind of segment and effect Qin Lan had contributed—switching songs last-minute couldn't be held against her too harshly.
But this shift in style was just too extreme—everyone turned their gaze toward Bai Liang.
Translate it?
Bai Liang naturally wouldn't let them down. Facing Qin Lan, who looked innocent and slightly nervous, he dropped a super "explosive" term for this episode.
"Puff! Electropop Dora~"
