Chapter 664: Just Divorced, Still Fresh
A woman's sixth sense — sometimes it's pretty uncanny.
Case in point: although Unlike Ni Ni didn't have much of a relationship with Little Zhao jiejie, she could still precisely pick up on something very off from the subtle, strange shift in the other's attitude.
So she immediately turned around and went to "tattle" to Bai Liang.
"I'm telling you, Zhao Liying's acting a bit weird! Don't fall into her trap!"
Watching Unlike Ni Ni mutter away while patting her own shoulder, Bai Liang found her behavior a bit hard to describe.
"Fall into her trap? What trap?"
"What do you think?"
Bai Liang: Oh?
The Mohist school of mechanisms, right!
No need for that reminder — he'd already explored it to the end ages ago, and over and over at that; one tiny person, only so much depth to her.
Seeing that Bai Liang didn't seem to be taking it seriously, Unlike Ni Ni got anxious. "You really need to be careful!"
"It can't be that serious."
"It is!"
Clearly, Unlike Ni Ni seemed to have a strange little obsession on this front.
Mainly because she'd spent over two years "licking" without ever succeeding — if Zhao Liying succeeded, wouldn't that make her lose face?
Her own failure was certainly painful, but other people's success would sting even more!
Those post-90s "little girls" she could let slide, but fellow 85-flowers? Every single one of them who "succeeded" would make her heart ache.
Otherwise, why had she gone to help single-cover her "dear bestie" Yang Tianbao before?
Just afraid she might actually pull it off.
Of course, now she and Yang Tianbao had "made up" again, and the other had quietly pumped her for info on these matters; Unlike Ni Ni had gritted her teeth and bragged that she'd succeeded.
She even gave an evaluation: Bai Liang, very moist.
This rogue behavior actually made Yang Tianbao believe it — outwardly congratulating her, but the tone was sour as can be.
But now Unlike Ni Ni smelled the winds of change shifting, since Bai Liang and Zhao Liying did seem pretty close, and the other really might succeed.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but pipe up again: "I'm guessing it's the news of Wang Yanlin getting married that poked at this old broad, made her desperate to get hitched, and now she's got her eyes on you — that logic tracks, right?"
Hmm~ that actually does track!
The whole process was wrong, but the result might genuinely not be off.
Bai Liang had indeed noticed Little Zhao jiejie's oddness, especially these past two days.
Actually, the other's mindset when facing him had always shifted quite a lot, going through several distinct phases.
At first she found him annoying, sort of avoiding him and not wanting contact; later, as their relationship improved, she started treating him like a little brother; after that, the "familial affection" naturally soured, but she still didn't think about actually establishing any stable relationship with Bai Liang. Then as time went on, she seemed to want to switch tack and have a kid, but after failing to pull it off, her mindset seemed to settle down again — keeping things as they were wasn't bad either.
As for now — yesterday's attitude of looking like she wanted to "lock him down" and not let him pull out. It felt like she'd circled back to the "wants a kid" state, but a bit different from before.
Meanwhile Unlike Ni Ni was still over there "fanning the flames," putting on a completely laughable "Dou Xiao Bai, you must hold yourself together" act.
In Little Zhao jiejie's eyes, it was indeed pretty laughable.
She couldn't even be bothered to pay attention to the other's hopping around; she just became a bit more attentive and gentler than usual when facing Bai Liang. Of course, when it was time to lock, she was absolutely still going to lock him — it didn't take much effort anyway, and Bai Liang wouldn't really force her open.
But regarding Unlike Ni Ni's gaze, watching her with a hint of wariness, Little Zhao jiejie didn't stir up any trouble with her on set either.
In fact, what she was more interested in lately was actually watching Bai Liang "take care of the kid" over there.
Just watching this guy raise Yang Enyou to the point where the little girl was almost calling him daddy, Little Zhao jiejie couldn't help but break into an auntie smile.
"You really like kids, huh?"
"Liying jiejie, I'm not a little kid~"
Before Bai Liang could say anything, Yang Enyou spoke up on her own.
Like all little kids always longing to grow up fast, Zhao Jinmai back when she wasn't an adult yet also liked to keep "I'm not a little kid" on her lips.
But Zhao Jinmai was already a teenager back then — her thoughts were more complicated.
Yang Enyou, on the other hand, was a seven-year-old little radish, and this was purely just talking big.
Little Zhao jiejie laughed and patted her head, then corrected her: "You should call me auntie."
"Oh~ okay~ Auntie!"
The little girl was still very obedient — even though she didn't understand why she used to be told to call her jiejie and now was told to switch to auntie, she still did as she was told.
But after calling her that, she couldn't help but glance at Unlike Ni Ni, a little conflicted about whether to change how she addressed this one too.
Unlike Ni Ni:.
In her heart she cursed Zhao Liying up and down — weirdo, couldn't we just both be jiejie together? Why'd you have to upgrade yourself? Think you're not old enough?
Though she was inwardly grumbling, she still greeted the little girl with a beaming smile: "I still want to be jiejie~ jiejie is forever eighteen!"
"But jiejie, you already are eighteen!"
The little girl's sweet talk made Unlike Ni Ni's smile unstoppable — buying! Definitely buying her snacks!
But just then Bai Liang said: "So do you want to call her uncle along with her?"
Oh! So that's where the root of it is!
Unlike Ni Ni glanced at Zhao Liying and immediately understood why the other had suddenly wanted to bump up the seniority.
She spread both hands. "Sure then~ how about I call you 'baba' to make you happy?"
Badass!
Bai Liang gave this brave soul a thumbs-up, thinking to himself that she really dared to say anything.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Little Zhao jiejie's face couldn't help but darken a few shades.
But just a few seconds later, she suddenly covered her mouth, nearly laughing out loud.
Unlike Ni Ni:???
What's so funny? This is called mood, do you get it?
Sister Xiao Zhao: Anyone who didn't know would really think you were eating it~
Under such an unequal relationship, that kind of behavior from the other party was, in her eyes, purely laughable.
Bragging is useless — the person is locked up by me every night.
"Don't say that kind of stuff in front of a child."
One very calm remark, and Sister Xiao Zhao instantly wiped the floor with Unlike Ni Ni.
Her breezy, composed look made Unlike Ni Ni increasingly unsure what was going on, but what the other party said was indeed faultless — the radiance of the moral high ground drowned out everything, nearly blinding her eyes.
Saying that kind of messy stuff in front of a kid really wasn't appropriate.
Unlike Ni Ni had gotten used to talking dirty while filming with Bai Liang before, and was rather loose-lipped — after all, during that period she'd been scheming to seduce the guy, so she'd said plenty of that sort of wild talk.
She gave an awkward chuckle, then put on an act of pulling out her phone to look at it.
"Hey!"
