Chapter 651: Male Model Is the Road I Came From

Over the next few days, Bai Lu seemed to have given up obsessing over making tea~

Perhaps because she had pretty much wrecked Bai Liang's tea set — not a single teacup still had its lid.

On the other hand, Bai Liang's new skill was starting to show real results.

Casually lifting things off other people was already a piece of cake.

With his learning efficiency like this, the "King of Thieves" consultant they had hired was practically staring wide-eyed, sighing and lamenting over there — wondering whether it was a pity that such a fine "seedling" had ended up in showbiz. Well, good thing he did get into showbiz, otherwise he'd probably be a menace out in society!

Still, this skill was honestly pretty useless to Bai Liang. He planned to tinker with it another day, mutate it a bit toward magic, and use it to coax girls later~

During the shoot, Bai Liang did find time to go back and record another episode of "Fifty Kilometers Peach Blossom Land." The specifics don't need much elaboration — the show was pretty much a vacation for him.

What caught his attention a little was something Evil Little Kitty said before parting: "I'll give you a surprise in a couple of days~"

Translate, please — what the hell kind of surprise?

Bai Liang always took an optimistic view of this sort of thing and didn't overthink it, worrying about some surprise turning into a fright. He'd just head back to the crew and wait.

But no sooner had Evil Little Kitty let the word "surprise" slip out than she herself received a wave of "surprises" on her end.

Because the "chased by police" incident with Bai Liang finally made the trending searches.

Her and Bai Liang's little "park play" had given everyone a fresh round of entertainment.

"Yo! Isn't that Bai Bai Daxian? Gone a few days and already this down bad?"

"Is it because you helped Menglan escape, so the police lady chased you down? Let you touch the giant panda, now they're coming for you!"

"I'm dying, those aunties and uncles really have hearts of gold — they forced Bai Bai Daxian to climb over a wall and run~"

"Are these two doing something weird? I don't see any crew cameras around. They're not filming a scene, right?"

"Isn't the drama they're filming called 'Police Honor'? Did Bai Liang's male lead play a thief? Oh oh, I get it — an undercover cop, right~"

"."

Well, what a coincidence — when this hit the trending searches, Bai Liang happened to be filming an "undercover scene" at that very moment.

But compared to the tension and thrills of undercover operations in other cop-and-robber films, with their constant "I had no choice back then" moments, the undercover scenes in "Police Honor" were relatively down-to-earth.

The main purpose of going undercover in the drama was to bust a prostitution ring.

All that tense, thrilling undercover action was just to take down one club~

But Bai Liang actually quite liked this scene. He didn't know if the screenwriter did it on purpose, but in the script, the male host at the club was called a male model~

As everyone knows, male model is Young Master Bai's origin story.

Plenty of his haters love to bring this up, occasionally cooking up fake dirt about him being a male model / gigolo at clubs. Sister Yanzi's side has sued who knows how many of them.

Playing a male model again in the drama gave Bai Liang this weird feeling of making a meme out of himself — kind of magical~

This scene's filming didn't really need Bai Lu, so she could take a couple of days off. But she wasn't exactly happy about it — she was over there with a miserable face, preparing to apologize on Weibo.

No way around it — wearing a police uniform out in public, strutting around, and triggering an "uprising" among the aunties and uncles... the matter wasn't huge, but it wasn't exactly small either.

Especially after she consulted with Bai Liang a little and learned a new fact: police emblems, regulation uniforms, police equipment, and credentials are for the exclusive use of the People's Police; no other individual or organization may possess or use them. Violators will have their illegal items confiscated by public security organs and may be given a warning or detained for up to fifteen days.

When they were playing around, Bai Liang himself hadn't thought of this — his attention was elsewhere.

And now this thing had been photographed by either paparazzi or enthusiastic bystanders and posted online, causing quite a stir. Although online it was mostly teasing and meme-making, Bai Lu had to apologize fast — otherwise someone might beat her to the punch and escalate it.

Turning yourself in first, coming out with maximum sincerity from the start, was always much better than being forced into it.

These days, artists can't be stubborn — even playing dead requires careful consideration.

After all, plenty of clueless ones have already been named and shamed. This is an era where you take your lumps and stand at attention.

"Sigh~ Finally done with it." Bai Lu heaved a sigh and tossed her phone aside, lamenting how life was so hard on her.

Her bestie had a different take: "Bai Mengyan, just count your blessings — a free number-one trending topic, and no real negative impact."

"No negative impact for now, but I feel like we're drifting further and further from the goal—"

"What was our original goal again?" her bestie asked, puzzled.

The two locked eyes and suddenly froze.

Hey! Wait!

Wasn't the original plan just to latch onto Bai Liang's coattails?

Looking at the situation now, clearly they'd already done it — they were riding his traffic, casually making headlines.

"Oh~ Bai Mengyan, you're done for — you've fallen in love!"

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm a boy. Forget it, I'm a career-oriented woman, okay!"

In response to her excuses, her bestie didn't give a damn and went straight for the jugular: "You're shameless, you've got no face, you're drooling over his body~"

"You—"

"Got nothing to say now, huh? Your filial piety has gone rotten~"

This combo punch left Bai Lu completely stunned, and then came the frantic rebuttals!

What the hell does "filial piety gone rotten" even mean?

Anyone who didn't know better would think she secretly calls him "daddy" behind closed doors.

Faced with Bai Lu's excuses, her bestie said nothing, just smiled and pointed at the floor — of course she wasn't telling Bai Lu to get down on all fours, but reminding her: look where we are right now? You've practically turned this place into your own home, haven't you?

Yes, at this moment Bai Lu was curled up in Bai Liang's trailer.

A female artist climbing into a male artist's trailer — that kind of thing was considered pretty suggestive anywhere.

But then again, Bai Liang's trailer... was a bit special.

The sofa in his trailer had practically become a check-in spot.

Too many girls had gone up there to sit, and word had long since spread.

So much so that on the "Police Honor" set, even when others saw Bai Lu sneaking into Bai Liang's trailer, under normal circumstances they wouldn't read too much into it.

Getting into someone's private car invites speculation, but getting into a public bus — what's there to speculate about?

Case in point: today, Li Xin and Li Yitong, who came as a pair to visit Bai Liang on set, snuck over and made a beeline for Bai Liang's luxury trailer with practiced ease.

This was the "surprise" Li Yitong had mentioned during the recording of the show.

The "Slutty Sisters" reuniting for another strike~

"What slutty. Doesn't that sound terrible? Are you really willing to bring that up!" Li Xin glanced at Evil Kitty, speechless, thinking to herself how anyone could be willing to claim such a nickname. Lunatics!

Evil Kitty also thought it made sense. "How about we call ourselves the Losers' Alliance~"

"Isn't there something that sounds a bit nicer."

"There's a story behind this one. We both wanted to snatch the female lead of this drama, and we both failed, so aren't we the Losers' Alliance!"

"Thanks for reminding me." Li Xin was halfway through complaining when her eyes suddenly lit up, and at that moment her wavelength synced with Evil Kitty's.
