Chapter 562: The Sickeningly Sweet After-Sales Service Is Still Chasing Me

Facing the sea of red lights, Bai Liang stepped onto the stage just as before.

But after taking the trophy and the microphone, he didn't rush to speak; instead, he tilted his head slightly, surveying everything around him.

Under the wash of red light, he couldn't make out his fans' faces clearly, yet somehow he seemed to see them with exceptional clarity.

Perhaps this is the joy of being a star.

So many strangers, willing to pour out their emotions and passion for you unilaterally.

That wave of feeling, according to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, has probably pushed the fourth level—esteem needs—to its absolute extreme.

In a way, this stuff isn't much different from an aphrodisiac; it just delivers a different kind of massive emotional satisfaction.

Kind of like showing off in front of a crowd.

Even for someone like Bai Liang, whose luck is so good his mindset barely fluctuates year-round, his emotions couldn't help but stir.

Swap in someone more sentimental or a bit more sensitive in this regard, and they'd probably be sobbing out loud.

But for a capybara like Bai Liang, forget it.

Picking up that Best Actor trophy, he actually shook his head helplessly.

"Neither of my two trophies today can be kept by me."

The moment those words landed, plenty of people in the venue froze for a beat, thinking, 'Are you freaking serious—who else are you going to give it to?'

First, this thing definitely can't go to Na Zha—she wasn't even nominated for Best Actress, so there's no "regret" on that front.

And second—I've seriously never seen anyone pull off "two-timing" at an occasion like this. Bai Bai Daxian, you're not even pretending anymore?

Even the cheering fans were struggling to hold it together. 'Bro, one event, two "sisters-in-law"—that's not appropriate, right?'

At that moment, Na Zha, hugging the trophy Bai Liang had given her, straightened her back, her eyes sweeping around like searchlights.

Who?! Which shameless floozy is it?!

Sister Tian Tian: Ehehe~ Me? Is it me? Really me?!

Of the Best Actress nominees, you don't even need elimination—only she has any connection to Bai Liang, and a very deep one at that!

So this trophy is obviously meant for her~

Big Mi Mi, sitting beside her, watched Sister Tian Tian getting restless, curled her lip, and thought, 'Is this girl really about the same age as me? Why does she feel like she's from a whole different generation?'

What kind of pipe dream is that~

Even if Bai Liang were a blockhead, there's no way he'd pull the move of accepting two awards and then handing the two trophies off to two different women.

Doing it once is a stage effect plus off-stage sweetness, and also counts as "after-sales service" for the drama.

Doing it twice—what's that? Showing everyone your true scumbag colors?

The instant Big Mi Mi heard Bai Liang open his mouth, she knew what he was about to do~

"This trophy goes to my lovely fans—thank you all for being here today."

With Bai Liang's answer, the venue erupted once more.

Although anyone with half a brain knows the trophy can't be split into pieces and handed out one by one.

In the end, it stays with Bai Liang himself.

But it sounds so nice!

Hearing that, Na Zha also breathed a sigh of relief. Good, good—no shameless floozy~

Sister Tian Tian, on the other hand, was miserable. Just now she'd been bright-eyed and full of anticipation, and in an instant she wilted.

So it wasn't for her after all.

Big Mi Mi, watching from the side and finding it amusing, rolled her eyes and suddenly came up with a mischievous idea.

"Here~"

Staring at the trophy that had appeared in front of her, Sister Tian Tian froze for a beat and shot Big Mi Mi a puzzled look.

"Oh come on, no man to give you one? I'll give you one, then."

"Huh? That's, that's not really appropriate~" Sister Tian Tian, still unable to process it, blurted out instinctively.

She didn't even realize her reaction had completely exposed what she'd just been hoping for.

Big Mi Mi couldn't help but shift her crossed legs, leaning her weight a little toward Sister Tian Tian. "You free tonight? Let's grab a late-night snack together?"

The two were already very close at this point, but two women being this close wasn't really a problem—even onlookers would at most assume they were whispering to each other.

But Sister Tian Tian had just been teased yesterday, and now Big Mi Mi's warm breath was gently hitting her ear, giving her an immediate jolt.

"No no no, I don't want to—"

She shook her head vigorously, her face looking a little scared.

No choice—from yesterday till now, Sister Tian Tian had reason to suspect that Big Mi Mi might have gone a bit perverted from holding it in too long after her divorce.

"Don't be shy~" Big Mi Mi curled her lips into a slight smile, and paired with the smoky voice she'd developed from this morning's exertions, it really had that flavor!

It felt like this kind of husky-voiced older-sister type was bound to be an absolute top!

Sister Tian Tian shook her head like a rattle-drum, scooting her butt back to put some distance between them.

While feeling a little scared, she actually felt a tiny bit of superiority: 'You don't have a man to sleep with, but I do!'

As for this trophy—who wants your trophy? What she wanted was Bai Liang's trophy.

Besides, even though Big Mi Mi was holding the trophy, that's all she could do—hold it.

Men and women are still quite different; you can't lump them together.

"Fake" is fake—Sister Tian Tian declared she prefers the real thing.

If she knew what was going on in that little head of hers, Big Mi Mi might be pretty speechless, because she certainly hadn't had any less than Sister Tian Tian—and that was despite never having properly co-starred as the male and female leads with Bai Liang.

If she could swap roles with Sister Tian Tian—two TV dramas and one movie, adding up to over half a year of filming—she'd have already had her second child!

How could she be like that girl, still sitting there hunched over playing Makka Pakka?

A little useless thing.

After teasing Sister Tian Tian again, Big Mi Mi really couldn't hold it in any longer and started laughing behind her hand.

She had dressed quite sexily today anyway, with a deeply plunging neckline, and now as she laughed her chest trembled so much it looked like it might pop right out.

If it were the old Sister Tian Tian, she might have refused to concede, declaring that she had plenty of her own to show~

But right now she just wanted to stay as far away from Big Mi Mi as possible.

She even somewhat regretted having gone all-out back then, cursing the other party in dialect.

She felt that Big Mi Mi being so perverted now was probably precisely because she'd been cursed by her before.

After all, some people are just like that — they like being scolded; she scolded her until she felt great, basically.

After the Best Actor trophy was presented, tonight's Golden Eagle Awards seemed not yet fully over, but in reality had already come to a close.

The remaining segments were ordinary, no longer having any eye-catching highlights.

Fortunately, though, the Best Actor award was originally placed very late in the program, so it didn't delay everyone for too long.

"I have no regrets tonight!"
