Chapter 636: Someone Come Feed the Young Master His Cake!

"What's the kitty's name?"

Hearing this question, Dou Xiao Tian felt an inexplicable bit of shame, while the evil little kitty beside her was already covering her mouth and giggling away.

"Ao Bai!"

"What a great name!"

Stunned by the name for a moment, Meng Jie still earnestly gave a thumbs-up, switching into full-on compliment mode.

It's just that the way she looked actually came off a bit affected. "Affected" on any other girl might be annoying, but on Meng Jie it became an endearing quirk~

You could call it her natural gift.

Without a doubt, a name that makes this kind of splash had to have been thought up by Bai Liang.

In fact, Ao Bai, that majestic Maine Coon, was originally a "tool cat."

Dou Xiao Tian was a little too embarrassed to bring up that "little promise" with Bai Liang — what she feared most was that she'd taken it seriously while he'd only been saying it casually.

Someone come feed the Young Master his cake!

Even though the odds of something like this happening with Bai Liang were low, and even though other things had helped push it along, the usually bold "warrior" Dou Xiao Tian chickened out for once on this matter.

So the evil little kitty came up with this plan for her: first find a topic, strike up a chat with that male fox.

In the process, casually drop a mention of it in a super nonchalant way.

The newly adopted kitty is a pretty good entry point~

Of course, in the evil little kitty's own opinion, she actually thought chatting about it in bed would be the best entry point.

In any case, the two of them whispered and schemed for a while, trying to set Bai Liang up with an ultimate, invincible chain combo — no need to go through the whole process, but the result was bound to be a failure.

At first things went smoothly — Bai Liang was quite interested in the cat — but the guy just video-called directly over, leaving all the scripts and tricks the evil little kitty had helped craft completely useless.

Sometimes a guy being too eager and proactive isn't a good thing either; if he were a bit more aloof, things would actually be better.

In the end, the real business didn't get done, but she ended up with a pile of cat-care knowledge.

That said, Bai Liang really does know how to raise cats.

Everything he taught was solid, practical stuff!

It's just that Ao Bai's life was wonderful from then on, but Dou Xiao Tian was still feeling gloomy and conflicted, unsure whether to bring it up face-to-face with Bai Liang during this trip to record the show.

However, at this moment, even the evil little kitty couldn't devote too much thought to her matter.

Because there was something more important right before their eyes!

"Have you found out anything about that Second Princess?" the evil little kitty asked with a serious expression.

The sudden appearance of the Second Princess of Huawei had thoroughly disrupted all her little schemes for this recording trip.

This person had clearly come for the male fox; if she just sidled up to Bai Liang later, even the evil little kitty wouldn't dare scheme against a Second Princess on the show.

"I found out a little bit~" Meng Jie was actually quite enthusiastic about this matter, speaking with rare modesty, even putting up her own defenses first.

"How much is a little bit?"

"Well... our show is getting an extra phone sponsor~"

"Great, great, great, so she's 'joining the crew with capital'!" the evil little kitty said through gritted teeth. "These 'resource-backed types' are the most annoying!"

Meng Jie was shocked, "Tongtong, you're a resource-backed type too, remember?"

"... No need to remind me of that, Meng Jie, you're not much better yourself."

Hearing this, Meng Jie felt a little embarrassed, "Am I really?"

"You're already in the 'Jie' generation — among post-95 rising stars, how many have made it like you?" the evil little kitty essentially redefined what a resource-backed type meant, giving Meng Jie a nice wash.

After all, Meng Jie's resources really weren't as good as hers; the two debuted around the same time, but to this day, how many female leads has Meng Jie played? The tier of her dramas was far inferior too.

But after being washed like this, Meng Jie felt there was nothing wrong with it — hehe, she's a "wicked resource-backed type" too!

Watching her look a little proud while pretending not to care, Dou Xiao Tian blinked her big eyes and shot Li Yitong a puzzled look: Are you really conning Meng Jie like this?

Li Yitong raised an eyebrow: You don't get it, she loves hearing this~

Easy to handle!

Under a series of "encouragements" basically along the lines of "Buck up," "Good job," "Don't lose face," Meng Jie decided to step up to her responsibility as someone of the "Jie" generation!

It's just a Second Princess! She was determined to take her on!

"Sister, Meng Jie won't piss someone off and get blacklisted, right..."

Watching the fired-up Meng Jie, Dou Xiao Tian had already started worrying on her behalf.

"Don't worry."

The evil little kitty's lips curled up slightly — this round did kind of mean screwing Meng Jie over, but they were sisters... who didn't know who~

Meng Jie would chicken out; when the time came she'd probably just drop to her knees on sight — and that was the real point of this scheme.

Going up against a Second Princess? Obviously unrealistic; even if Meng Jie really dared to fight, it wouldn't work.

But what Meng Jie truly excelled at wasn't fighting people — she excelled at making friends with them!

Dou Xiao Tian's eyes went wide as she kept looking back and forth between Li Yitong and Meng Jie, feeling a bit emotional in her heart.

These two are really opposites!

She felt like swapping their looks and personalities would make things seem more normal.

Dou Xiao Tian clearly hadn't realized who the biggest contrast here actually was~

Another purpose of Li Yitong conning Meng Jie like this was actually to pin her down on the side, to keep her "warrior" from recklessly charging at the Second Princess.

Our Dou Xiao Tian really would dare to charge straight in~—

The show "Fifty Kilometers of Peach Blossom Land" didn't bother with a pilot episode either, just very simply and crudely bringing the guests to the filming location fifty kilometers outside Yanjing city, and before filming didn't even arrange a meet-and-greet to get familiar — clearly planning to put the "ice-breaking" content in the main episode.

"This location is quite..." Facing the camera, Bai Liang mulled for a while, and finally gave the answer: "There are so many people."

Right now they were recording the simple interviews before everyone entered the house, which would later be interspersed after the individual shots in the main episode.

But with over a dozen guests split into several groups taking turns to film, plus their own assistants, accompanying staff, and the production crew around them... no wonder it looked crowded, even a bit chaotic.

At a glance, there was no way to tell what was special about this carefully chosen filming location.

And for a reality show of the lifestyle-experience type with this many guests, it was clearly impossible for nothing to go wrong during filming.

Different personalities, different ages and experiences, forcibly thrown together to磨合—it was just like a grand performance of awkward art.

Of course, this might well be one of the show's "highlights."

Bai Liang earnestly analyzed things for a bit—after all, when filming a show, thinking and saying a little more in front of the camera counted as professional素养.

As for the show's biggest selling point, it was probably still the people.

Not far away, Guo Qilin, while firing off witty remarks at the camera and showing off his crosstalk performer's功底, still didn't forget to give Bai Liang a wave from afar.

Dead serious, seemingly without any of the funny Bai Yun look from the sketch stage at all, Song Dandan gave off the vibe of a nosy, worry-prone old lady next door.

Good-looking, funny when she spoke, but unusually well-organized—Li Xueqing, the academic overachiever who'd walked the comedy path, gave off a feeling of playing dumb for others to see.

Zhang Han, one of the four great "oil kings" of the domestic entertainment scene—at first glance didn't actually seem that greasy right now, but that lingering air of domineering CEO still faintly seeped through him.

Bai Liang sized up his "colleagues" recording the show together this time, and found it all the more interesting.

Until he spotted a rather conspicuous little group not far away.

Before the show even started filming, these three had already begun their "clique" behavior—that wasn't good for unity!

Forming a little clique inside the big group? What were they trying to do?

"Huh? The male fox is looking at us!"
