Chapter 633: Absolutely the Number One Scapegoat Position

I have to say, Da Mimi herself can act all innocent, and even mix in a bit of sauciness within that innocence, and she can also let loose and become the picture of irresistible charm—who would have thought her skill points in being a wingwoman were maxed out too!

Da Mimi had her own little calculations in mind. Even though nothing could develop between her and Bai Liang afterward, and she wasn't going to get involved in the succession struggle, that didn't mean she'd just slink off the stage~

This intention was plain on the surface—

Taking advantage of the moment while Bai Liang had stepped away to the restroom.

"Reba, you're still young now—you should make the most of your career's peak period and give it your all. The peak period for us female artists doesn't last very long."

These heartfelt words didn't really have anything wrong with them.

But somehow, hearing them come out of Da Mimi's mouth always felt a little off somehow.

Reba still couldn't help herself. "Sister Mimi, your peak period hasn't even passed yet."

Ah, this~

Da Mimi's old face turned red—she wasn't sure whether to feel embarrassed or proud, after all, she had indeed stayed popular for quite a long time.

Fortunately, Reba was sensible and immediately added: "I'm definitely not going to be able to stay popular as long as you, Sister Mimi. I know that."

Honestly, Da Mimi wasn't so sure about that.

The way Reba was going now, it was very possible she'd stay popular even longer than her. Whether her peak period had arrived or not was hard to say—after all, at the end of this year she still had to star in "The Wandering Earth 2," and her status in the fashion world was rising by the day.

Magazine covers one after another, with every sign of steadily becoming the queen of fashion. Among post-90s actresses, her achievements in the fashion field were almost unrivaled.

Of course, Da Mimi wasn't bad either. In the fiercely competitive group of post-85 flowers, being able to maintain such exaggerated competitiveness for so long was already freakishly impressive~

After a brief round of mutual commercial flattery, the two chatted quite happily—everyone has a bright future ahead!

"Why has Da Bai been gone to the restroom for so long?" Reba complained casually, noticing Bai Liang still hadn't come back.

"Men are all like that. You'll understand once you're married." Da Mimi, as someone who'd been through it, casually dropped this wisdom.

This remark caught Reba off guard. "Why?"

"Men are made of poop. They absolutely love pooping!"

Reba:.

Isn't that statement a bit too crude?

Still, this touched on a piece of knowledge she'd never been exposed to before—she really hadn't paid attention to this aspect before.

Now thinking back carefully, it did seem to make some sense.

She might not know about other people, but Bai Liang—how could she not know?

He had this annoying habit of making a point to visit the restroom every time he went somewhere new. Every time she went to an event with him, the guy never once failed to make a trip to the bathroom.

Where did he even get so much poop to poop out?

Bai Liang:.

He just went to the bathroom, and came out to find people talking about him behind his back?

But regarding the "poop literature" topic, he had something to say.

"I eat a lot. You guys eat less than cats. Whether you can even poop is questionable."

This wasn't him talking nonsense—Bai Liang actually had "statistical data" on his side.

Based on his observations, basically none of the entertainment industry girls he knew ate as much as Xiao Bao.

When Xiao Bao ate cat food, he wolfed it down in big bites—one meal of his could probably last those female stars more than a day.

Under those circumstances, of course they had nothing to poop.

Moreover, it wasn't just about eating less—Bai Liang knew exactly how "popular" glycerin suppositories were in the industry.

Da Mimi might not know, but Reba definitely had them on hand—she brought them everywhere she went.

After Bai Liang pointed this out, Reba and Da Mimi immediately didn't dare to gossip about his bathroom habits anymore.

Any further discussion would be impolite!

Glamorous female stars being linked to constipation just felt somehow off.

Suddenly it got a little... fragrant~

So embarrassing.

"Liang-ge, what are you chatting about~"

At this moment, the other key creatives from "A Writer's Odyssey" came over to say hello.

Dong Zijian was the closest to Bai Liang, so he naturally took the initiative to chat him up.

At this point, Bai Liang was being "very sensible"—he opened his mouth, ready to say something auspicious, to send some blessings on this big New Year occasion.

"Let me come see the box office champion. Boohoo~"

His opening line made everyone's expressions change in an instant.

Da Mimi reacted the fastest. Without caring that Reba was right beside her, she darted over to Bai Liang in one leap and directly reached out to cover his mouth.

"You're not allowed to say it!"

"Sister Mimi, what are you doing?"

Reba wasn't happy about it now—things were going fine, so why get physical?

Her Da Bai hadn't done anything wrong, yet she was being so fierce with him!

But the reactions of the others told her just how much Da Mimi's "spell interruption" had won everyone's hearts.

"Good lord, thank goodness he didn't get to say it. My heart was in my throat just now!" Lei Datou said, still a little shaken.

Director Lu Yang also nodded in belated realization. "I didn't react in time just now. I'm breaking out in a cold sweat now."

"Great immortal, please withdraw your divine powers! What grudge, what grievance—I'll treat you to dinner tonight, alright~"

Dong Zijian wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, also feeling a deep kinship in his heart.

Bai Liang:.

He was actually fine—Da Mimi's hand smelled quite nice~

But how was he supposed to tell these people that a movie's poor box office and bad reviews were the movie's own problem, and had nothing to do with his "blessing"?

Big Mi Mi felt her palm grow damp at that moment, and knew her little brother was up to mischief again. She secretly shot him a raised brow and a flirtatious glance, but didn't let go right away. Instead she "warned" him first: "You're not allowed to say it! Otherwise I'll keep covering your mouth!"

Bai Liang blinked in agreement, and only then regained the right to speak.

"It can't be that bad."

"No choice, you're too uncanny, I have to guard against it. I should have told you about this earlier—when there are reporters interviewing later, I need to stick by your side, so they don't trick you into saying something you shouldn't."

Big Mi Mi's arrangement this time fully showed the elder sister's sense of responsibility, and conveniently gave herself a perfectly reasonable excuse to tag along with Bai Liang.

It wasn't for herself, and she didn't have any improper relationship with Bai Liang—it was entirely for the movie!

Everyone else: Well-reasoned, utterly convincing!

Reba gave him a strange look, nudged Bai Liang with her elbow, and whispered: "Big Bai, everyone still remembers your cursed-milk reputation. I almost forgot about that."

"Because she actually has a movie coming out, so it's relevant to her interests—of course she remembers."

Bai Liang could understand, though. After all, people even worship the gods before filming starts, so a movie premiere at this point counts as the final hurdle, and naturally one had to avoid any uncanny or weird outside influences.
