Chapter 615: Why Are You Trying to Eat and Take Away at the Same Time?

Over there, Big Tian Tian and Yang Tianbao were still "passionately brawling," while Unlike Unlike Unlike Ni Ni, who had already dodged danger and slithered away like a snake, had lost all interest in flirting with men.

Her mind was full of movies.

There's no way anyone doesn't know that any project tied to Bai Liang is a guaranteed hit!

Even if she's not the female lead!

Of course, if the female lead were some young girl—like Meng Jie, for instance—the supporting role wouldn't be nearly so tempting, since top-tier female stars wouldn't willingly let some lesser-known actress overshadow them.

Put bluntly, it's pure charity—helping someone climb the ladder.

But if the female lead is a little girl, everything changes completely.

With this news known in advance and her ranking so high, Unlike Unlike Unlike Ni Ni couldn't help but indulge in a little fantasy.

Of course, seeing Zhao Liying as an obstacle, she slightly frowned.

If it were any other film project, she'd definitely have the edge over Zhao Liying, but when it comes to Bai Liang—put bluntly—the weight of female lead qualifications drops drastically.

The producers don't need to consider how much attention this actress might bring—they just need to pick the most suitable one.

Everything else? Bai Liang alone can fill it all. His title as the top box-office draw isn't fake.

So Unlike Unlike Unlike Ni Ni can only compete with Zhao Liying on pure merit.

Wait!

There's still one move!

Go through the back door!

"Broooother~~"

"Oh shit."

Bai Liang, caught off guard by this sudden move, felt his skin crawl.

Mostly because Unlike Unlike Unlike Ni Ni's shift was too abrupt—one second she was smiling normally, the next she'd transformed into a roasted chicken. Who could handle that?

"Sis, can you please stop being so theatrical?"

"The sun's risen in the west—you actually called me 'sis'!" Unlike Unlike Unlike Ni Ni chuckled, dropping the squeaky voice, instinctively placing her hands on her hips, grinning: "Can I ask you a favor, big bro?"

"What is it?"

"Can you use the back door?" she asked bluntly.

Huh?

Bai Liang: I'm not into that kind of thing. Taking the unconventional route is a novelty, not something to treat like a highway.

Seeing his head shake and the look in his eyes, Unlike Unlike Unlike Ni Ni raised an eyebrow.

That's the unspoken understanding between adults—she instantly guessed what filthy thought was going through Bai Liang's mind.

Hmph, men!

But what frustrated her was that Bai Liang had only glanced once. Come on, look a few more times?!

Her ass is really nice too~ Especially from the side—the curve is absolutely stunning!

"Using the back door? You can do it, others can too—won't you all still be on the same starting line?" Bai Liang said plainly, unmoved by the curves; after all, Reba's ass was even better—this little test couldn't faze him.

Hearing this, Unlike Unlike Unlike Ni Ni pouted—it did make sense.

She felt forced into a race she didn't sign up for.

Still, she declared she loved being a "scab"—role or not, she really wanted to at least go through the motions of the back-door route.

"Suffering is blessing—if the competition's this intense, I accept it," Unlike Unlike Unlike Ni Ni pretended to be resolute, barely holding back her grin.

As long as she could sleep with Bai Liang, even acting opposite him in a movie wouldn't be bad~

Hmm… maybe I should say it the other way around?

But Bai Liang saw right through her: "How come you want to eat and take away at the same time?"

"Damn, we've known each other this long—why can't you cut me a few breaks?" Unlike Unlike Unlike Ni Ni muttered inwardly.

She couldn't bring herself to say it out loud—it was too… much.

Though she really wanted to eat and take away, she still wanted to keep some dignity.

But now that they'd reached this point, she felt Zhao Liying's threat had diminished—after all, her connection with Bai Liang was closer, right?

Even if Bai Liang wouldn't let her get anything, this slightly ambiguous relationship was definitely much closer than ordinary friendship.

Seeing her confident, certain expression, Bai Liang was puzzled by what strange thoughts she was having—but he did know what Dou Dou Xiao Zhao was thinking lately.

Yes, Dou Dou Xiao Zhao got the news even earlier.

She hadn't even cared about competitors—she'd simply said, "Since you came to me, I'll hold four months open for you."

Bai Liang said four months was way too long—everyone in the industry knew he was a "fast shooter," incredibly quick at acting, especially in plot-driven roles with few big scenes.

Besides, he'd been clear—he was just considering her as an alternate, not promising anything.

But Dou Dou Xiao Zhao didn't care about all that—she just launched a full-force "dominant love" move.

Since she'd reached out to him, whether he picked her or not, she was going to join the set—no problem, she'd even take a producer title just to experience behind-the-scenes work, or even just make a cameo.

You had to admit, Little Round Face was genuinely bold, radiating the aura of "Add Money Bro."

With casual ease, she gave off the vibe of deliberately clinging to Bai Liang.

Nothing like Unlike Unlike Unlike Ni Ni, who flirted, pouted, acted cool, and whimpered, trying to sneak in through the back door.

Clearly, even after knowing Bai Liang for so long, Unlike Unlike Unlike Ni Ni still didn't understand him well enough.

Someone like him, habitually passive, needed a firm push.

Instead of scheming, just give him a wall-hug.

Dou Dou Xiao Zhao clearly understood this tactic perfectly—she didn't waste time negotiating with him, avoiding any chance he might accidentally enjoy himself.

But Unlike Unlike Unlike Ni Ni wasn't necessarily defeated yet, because Dou Dou Xiao Zhao clearly wasn't after the role—details were still unclear, since Bai Liang himself had no interest in handling this side of things.

He'd just wait for the result—he didn't care what it was; for him, any outcome was the best arrangement.

And so, the tussle between Big Tian Tian and Yang Tianbao temporarily came to an end.

It wasn't because one of them had won, but because the premiere was about to begin.

At this moment, Unlike Unlike Unlike Ni Ni was caught red-handed, with no place to hide.

Yang Tianbao looked at her with eyes that formed a pie chart: three parts disappointment, three parts anger, three parts jealousy. Fine, fine, fine—no wonder they were such good sisters! I'm out there charging into battle, taking on the richest flowers of this world alone, and you're sneaking around behind my back, are you?

But professional ethics kept Yang Tianbao from showing any odd behavior; she even put on a smile, walked over, and linked arms with Unlike Unlike Unlike Ni Ni, calling her "Miao Zong" and "Baby" nonstop—such a deep sisterly bond!

Meanwhile, Big Tian Tian surprisingly showed no sign of displeasure either.

She even gave Unlike Unlike Unlike Ni Ni a rare smile and greeted her.

Given their relationship, seeing that smile made Unlike Unlike Unlike Ni Ni shiver with dread.

If she remembered correctly, she and Big Tian Tian had never met without fighting—every single time, except the first, it was the other who started it, looking at her with nothing but disgust.

Over the past few years, Unlike Unlike Unlike Ni Ni and Big Tian Tian had actually crossed paths more than a few times; actresses of their caliber always ran into each other at various events.
