Chapter 48: The Scene Is Too Much Like Fishing Enforcement (Request Follows, Request Monthly Votes)

"Xiao Bai ge, you're so good at giving emotional value!" the assistant teased.

"Then you're wrong—I'm not deliberately giving emotional value; I'm doing it for myself."

"Huh?"

Because that girl is truly... rich and generous!

Bai Liang even suspected she'd secretly pulled off some "padding scam" in her room.

Although she'd gained a little weight recently from eating and drinking with Bai Liang, it clearly hadn't reached this level...

Miss, you're not being honest~

Whether it's a "padding scam" isn't really that important.

The girl washed herself clean and perfumed herself, making Bai Liang feel as if he'd caught the sweet scent of a freshly opened White Rabbit candy.

The moon tonight is perfectly round; if you still pretend to be reserved and refuse to admire it, you'd seem utterly tone-deaf.

So he openly admired her—and that actually made her a little embarrassed.

Embarrassed as she was, she didn't try to hide or cover up; instead, she lifted her head proudly, chest out.

Pretty, right~

I'll drive you crazy!

With the beautiful girl and her assistant "boosting" him, Bai Liang finally mustered the courage to open the already-released drama "Addiction."

Come on, face the "pollution"!

Before its release, the drama's popularity had already been stirred up; Bai Liang had seen edited clips of bloopers, quick shots, and trailers on Bilibili.

View counts reached hundreds of thousands, with thousands of comments.

Na Zha also knew this, and from her "senior" perspective, she instinctively began explaining to Bai Liang.

"It's normal for dan-gai dramas to have built-in heat; the main viewers are girls anyway, and this genre..."

"Dan-gai?" Bai Liang knew the term, but after recalling certain scenes he'd seen, he suspected this wasn't dan-gai at all—it was pure danmei.

They really just go straight for it when there's something to do!

"Yes, lots of girls have read novels of this genre! But that it actually got approved for broadcast—probably they changed a lot to pass censorship, and the filming must be quite restrained or subtle."

Bai Liang scratched his head: Really?

But so far, the aired plot hasn't shown any explosive scenes yet.

So he didn't dare speak, silently watching.

The plot opened with melodrama: Bai Bai Luoyin's mother was about to remarry a high-ranking cadre, while at the same time, Gu Hai's father—the son of a military official—was about to remarry.

Gu Hai suspected his biological mother's death was tied to his father, and their relationship had always been terrible.

The new semester began; Gu Hai and Bai Bai Luoyin accidentally transferred into the same class, and a dazzling, thrilling high school life was about to unfold...

As he watched, Bai Liang realized it wasn't just about Huang Jingyu's Gu Hai and Xu Weizhou's Bai Bai Luoyin—there was also a "third party."

Yep, another boy.

Then came misunderstandings, attempts to make amends, secretly slipping in underwear when underwear got wet, secretly handing out anti-diarrhea pills when someone had stomach trouble...

If you ignored the gender, this was just a youth pain drama.

But the way the two boys acted felt distinctly different.

Not long after, Bai Liang noticed that Na Zha, who had clearly come back tonight for him, was now excitedly chattering away with her assistant!

As the plot gradually progressed... the scenes began to spiral out of control.

Both girls were going wild!

"Aaaah! So sweet!"

After hugging her assistant and giggling for a while, Na Zha even leaned eagerly toward Bai Liang: "Do you know these two leads?"

"One's my friend; the other I've met."

"They're really a couple, right?"

"... Probably not..."

As Bai Liang spoke, he clearly saw a hint of... disappointment on Na Zha's face.

The world had truly gone mad in ways he couldn't imagine.

Previously, Bai Liang had been interested in acting of any kind—even Meng Zi's current bit part in "The Idiot Legend: Fight to the End," he'd been curious to taste the flavor.

But now, for the first time, he'd found a genre he would absolutely never try in his life.

Too terrifying!

"Hey, Bai Bai Luoyin also has the surname Bai..."

"Not the same Bai!" Bai Liang declared firmly.

Na Zha burst into laughter—her main goal for tonight had already been achieved.

This guy is straight as an arrow!

She didn't know that if she teased him a little more, Bai Liang might just drag her to the marriage registry right then and there—and take her surname... Said it wasn't the same Bai, so it absolutely wasn't!

Of course, once he calmed down later, he'd have to change it back.

Ignoring the slight psychological shadow this drama left on Bai Liang, tonight was actually a nice night.

In the second half, Na Zha held her assistant with one arm while the other reached over and hooked Bai Liang's arm, pulling him instinctively toward her with force.

This girl had long arms—her wrist line went past her crotch.

In the end, she actually achieved the feat of "hugging both sides."

But when they were pressed tightly together, her eyes remained fixed on the laptop screen.

Later, she secretly observed Bai Liang's reaction... and found he seemed to be enjoying it, so neither of them said a word.

This was Bai Liang's greatest comfort tonight.

Huang Jingyu was dating a man on screen, while he was cuddling a gorgeous woman off-screen.

Only through contrast can happiness be felt.

Unfortunately, they couldn't continue cuddling while sleeping at night.

After "going crazy," Na Zha immediately spotted the signal, grabbed her assistant, and dashed into the room.

They were going to sleep together tonight~

The assistant put on a serious expression, as if to say: I will protect Sister Na Zha and not let the "White Bandits" set foot in the master bedroom.

On the surface, she acted that way; behind the scenes, she secretly winked at Bai Liang.

After closing the door, due to poor sound insulation, faint giggles and teasing voices could be heard—no one knew what they whispered in the middle of the night.

Bai Liang guessed it had something to do with him~ Then he pulled the blanket over his head and fell asleep.

Only after Na Zha hurriedly left for her next shoot the next day did that pair of worn stockings remain hanging beside the sofa.

Because they had been worn, the wrinkles were numerous, glistening faintly with oil.

One could almost imagine how they looked when originally wrapped around a girl's legs.

A breeze drifted in, gently swaying them, as if issuing an invitation to savor:

Come, feel the exquisite lingering blend of nylon, spandex, and hormones in your nostrils...

To be honest, these stockings were more seductive than Na Zha herself.

So Bai Liang wandered around Na Zha's living room, again and again, searching for where she had hidden the camera.

The scene was so reminiscent of entrapment operations that he felt like a gudgeon caught in the trap.

Once he picked it up and sniffed it, he feared he'd spend the rest of his life with her holding leverage over him.

Cough cough—he absolutely could not sniff that thing!

Regardless, Na Zha had achieved what she'd long failed to do: she had unsettled Bai Liang's heart for a moment.
