Chapter 646: This Wave Is Really the Culprit Crying Innocence!
"Xiao Tian, you've got quite an appetite today!"
During breakfast, Li Yitong watched Xiao Tian eating noticeably more than the past couple of days and attentively picked up on the other's good mood.
Xiao Tian broke into a grin, quite wanting to share her happiness with Tongtong-jie, but after a sidelong glance at Zhou Ye beside her, she pulled her smile back a bit and swallowed her words, only giving Li Yitong a look.
Oh~~
The evil little kitty, upon receiving that look, seemed to gain a bit of enlightenment; her crescent-moon eyes half-squinted as her gaze drifted toward Bai Liang, thoughtful.
But she didn't do anything extra, just secretly gave Xiao Tian a thumbs-up.
"Where's Meng Jie? She hasn't gotten up yet?"
Zhou Ye didn't notice the little exchange between the two, just being a bit curious about Meng Jie's whereabouts.
"She's up—when I came out she was preparing breakfast for Chocolate, she should be over soon," Li Yitong said, also a bit puzzled.
As soon as the words fell, Meng Jie came over carrying Chocolate, her face full of puzzlement. "That's so weird!"
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know why, but Chocolate seems really tired."
Indeed, Chocolate was a bit listless at the moment, yawning too, completely lacking her usual pep—clearly running on empty.
Li Yitong reached out and stroked Chocolate's head. "Did you sneak off to do something naughty last night?"
The words were meant for the dog, but they made Xiao Tian lower her head.
Mainly because the guilty look on her face was a bit too obvious—she had to lower her head.
Why Chocolate was so tired—others might not know, but how could she not?
Last night she'd snuck the dog out to play for half the day, and by the time she brought her back, Chocolate was so tired she'd fallen asleep.
"Xiao Tian is really hungry, her face is practically buried in the bowl! Did you go do something naughty last night too?" Meng Jie's casual remark nearly made Xiao Tian's heart skip half a beat.
Was she found out?
Although she hadn't really done anything naughty, Xiao Tian still didn't quite want others to know.
"What naughty thing could Xiao Tian possibly do~ Dou Xiao Ye is keeping an eye on her, the two of them supervising each other works way too well~" the evil little kitty said with a grin, casually making a joke out of the friction between the two little sisters.
Honestly, now that the show has been filming for a while, the originally unfamiliar guests have grown much more familiar with each other, and the atmosphere between them has lost that slight awkwardness from when they first met, but the dynamic between Xiao Tian and Zhou Ye hasn't changed at all.
The mutual dislike is obvious to anyone with eyes.
Yesterday Song Dandan even fell back into her old habit, trying to play peacemaker between them~
But their conflict isn't over any particular incident—it's more like their auras just don't mesh, that whole "clashing destinies" vibe!
This kind of situation simply can't be mediated, otherwise the evil little kitty would've taken care of it long ago.
Fortunately, although the two can't stand each other, they've managed to coexist through all the bickering—since it's never going to escalate to actual fisticuffs, just let them be~
Meng Jie has even started treating the two of them as her own show—real-life cricket fighting.
Perfectly digestible entertainment!
From this angle, the production team really called it right—these two Misses actually managed to create that pure-hate CP vibe, fighting without breaking.
Though the two of them themselves don't seem to have realized this yet.
"Aiya, I'm already going to miss you guys."
"Meng Jie, the way you say that makes it sound like we're not coming back to keep filming."
Even though it feels like nothing proper was really done on this show, the first phase of filming for "Fifty Kilometers of Peach Blossom Land" does indeed wrap up today.
Everyone will gather back together in a while.
After all, considering the schedules of so many artists, it's not really possible to film it all back-to-back.
Yesterday someone even had to dash off early for another gig.
"Hey, your filming is on pause, but mine isn't~" the evil little kitty was beaming at this point, like a fox who'd stolen some grapes.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"In Meng Jie's words—time to ship a CP!" the evil little kitty said very directly.
Better to be open and aboveboard than to be evasive!
It's drama promotion, after all—some of this kind of content is expected.
This is the perk of acting as the male and female lead opposite Bai Liang~
Although the other guests are temporarily dispersing today to go do their own things, she and Bai Liang still have to film a "special episode"—a segment the production team arranged specifically for the two of them.
So you see, she doesn't have to lift a finger, doesn't have to "talk big"—everything that should come her way will.
After learning the situation, Meng Jie practically had the word "envious" written all over her face.
Honestly, it really makes her sad—knowing Bai Liang for so long, the two of them have never once acted as male and female lead. "The Battle at Lake Changjin" definitely doesn't count—Meng Jie only had a few seconds of screen time in total.
Thinking about it that way, the resentment only deepens!
Clearly she's the bestie who stole her rebound guy, but now look—she's ahead of her in every way. This made Meng Jie unable to resist muttering about it.
Zhou Ye beside her wore the same envious expression, though her "resentment" wasn't as heavy as Meng Jie's—after all, she hadn't known Bai Liang as long, and she hadn't acted in that many dramas in total either.
As for Xiao Tian... she buried her head even lower.
Sometimes, a person just has to keep quiet and strike it rich.
If it were Zhou Ye in Meng Jie's place, she'd definitely jump up and show off to her, giving her a good blow, but Meng Jie has been really nice to her, so better not to provoke her.
Last night, after Bai Liang brought up the topic of that "Rookie of the Martial World" on his own initiative, the matter of their collaboration was officially put on the agenda.
This morning Xiao Tian received good news from her own agent—Bai Liang's team had already reached out to theirs to discuss the collaboration.
This matter will move forward much faster than she imagined!
"Dou Xiao Ye must be really busy these next two days too—the drama you're in is so popular."
After showing off a little, Li Yitong, in order to avoid pulling too much "hatred" onto herself, proactively steered the topic to Zhou Ye.
Though she wasn't talking nonsense either—right now the hottest drama online is indeed the one Zhou Ye stars in as the female lead.
Sure enough, at the mention of this topic, a smile also spread across Zhou Ye's face, and he immediately looked toward Dou Xiao Tian. But the other party still had their head lowered, so she ended up staring at nothing.
When facing Dou Xiao Tian, Zhou Ye could be as arrogant as he wanted, but toward everyone else he suddenly became modest again.
"Honestly, I didn't really cash in on that many bonuses either—you know how this kind of drama goes~"
That wasn't false, either.
