Chapter 665: Maybe You Should Give Her a Chance

Bai Liang thought for a long time but couldn't recall any connection between himself and Tong Tong Liya.

Fortunately, Unlike Ni Ni wasn't one to drag things out, and she revealed the answer soon enough.

"She's from Xinjiang too—you love Xinjiang girls the most, right~"

At these words, even Sister Xiao Zhao stopped pondering marriage altogether and turned her gaze toward Bai Liang with keen interest.

Is this the unspoken understanding and inexplicable generosity of the sister contestants?

If it had been two young girls instead, their glances at him would've carried clear undertones by now.

But these two right here could just smirk at him playfully—Unlike Ni Ni was even the outright instigator of the group ambush.

To be honest, even Bai Liang couldn't help but rub his nose at that.

There were just too many stories between him, Reba, and Nazha—the most noise, the most drama, and their initiative was strongest; they'd been tearing at each other openly and behind the scenes for years, and anyone even slightly following the entertainment circle knew about their "love-hate drama." Oh, and because of that, Bai Liang had "lost" the Xinjiang market entirely.

A few years ago, when he went to buy qiegao there, he felt like the young shopkeeper wanted to slash him on the spot; now, it was even worse to say.

"Don't talk nonsense—there's nothing to it."

"Where am I talking nonsense? Do you want Tong Tong Liya's contact info?" Unlike Ni Ni smiled sweetly.

"Do you even know her?" Bai Liang strongly suspected this woman was pulling his leg—he'd never heard of any connection between her and Tong Tong Liya; it felt like two parallel lines.

But Unlike Ni Ni tossed her head and actually opened WeChat, showing off Tong Tong Liya's friend profile: "Surprised? I added her when I guest-starred in 1921."

"1921? That name sounds familiar."

"That's the tribute film you turned down because you were busy—started shooting last year's second half," Unlike Ni Ni said with perfect clarity, since she'd specifically looked into it.

Back then, she'd thought: tribute film or not, having Bai Liang as the lead would be great~

But the invitation was sent, and Bai Liang flat-out refused it—with an excellent excuse, since he'd taken the role in Changjinhu.

"He's changing the subject," Sister Xiao Zhao suddenly interrupted, cutting off the film-related thread.

Unlike Ni Ni froze. Hey! Clever kid! Trying this trick on me now?

"Right! Let's keep talking about Xinjiang girls—how about it? Add her as a friend? Just say the word, and I'll send you her card right away~"

"No need for that," Bai Liang waved his hand.

He had no prejudice against divorced mothers—just the process was wrong.

Even if he didn't want to develop anything further, even just to meet and become friends, it should've been her who reached out to him first.

Old Master Bai had always been passive—he'd never developed the habit of taking initiative.

Seeing he wouldn't bite, Unlike Ni Ni was at a loss. Damn, this guy was impossible to tease!

If Bai Liang had shown even a hint of hesitation, she could've spun it into a whole spectacle.

But this guy was so straight-laced he practically radiated righteousness! Not a single hint of interest showed.

He really did look like a proper gentleman… Wait.

Suddenly, Unlike Ni Ni paused. Why did she assume he wasn't?

If he truly wasn't, what did her two-and-a-half years of flirting amount to? Did she think she was ugly?

Round it off, and Bai Liang's golden moral character seemed about to burst through the surface!

"How about letting her add you?" Unlike Ni Ni offered her final move.

Hearing this, Bai Liang almost instinctively replied, "That'd be fine."

But then Sister Xiao Zhao chuckled: "He doesn't like Xinjiang girls—he likes Uyghur girls. You gave him a Xibe girl? Of course it won't click~"

She'd rescued him—but not completely.

Sister Xiao Zhao had no intention of letting Bai Liang off the hook!

She immediately found a new distinction to keep the topic alive.

Luckily, Yang Enyou had already been dragged home by her parents to do homework—otherwise, showing this little girl such a "show" would've been a textbook case of corrupting the youth!

In the end, Bai Liang still didn't add Tong Tong Liya as a friend, and Unlike Ni Ni didn't go full madman by messaging a recently divorced contestant—after all, you couldn't assume everyone was like Yang Tianbao.

The buzz from the divorce incident didn't last long, because two days later, Old Yuan passed away, and the whole nation mourned.

Before him, the entertainment circle's love-hate dramas and tax evasion meant nothing.

Meanwhile, after the divorce incident, Bai Liang noticed Sister Xiao Zhao seemed to be gradually returning to normal.

She still liked giving him the "Seven-Day Golden Bond" treatment, but less frequently than before.

Some topics she'd started impulsively before now fell silent—not a single mention.

Only Wang Yanlin was frustrated.

Because Zhao Liying had asked him for wedding invitations one moment, then said the next she might not be able to attend.

This strange inconsistency left him baffled, but it was still ultimately a good thing.

As if a storm had been quietly calmed.

Only—

Watching Bai Liang, who was now playing with kids and acting like Yang Enyou's dad, he felt the storm probably wouldn't end so easily.

Because the source of the storm had no intention of calming down.

Indeed, Sister Xiao Zhao and Unlike Ni Ni's friction grew increasingly obvious on set.

One acted as if something was off, frantically stirring up chaos to assert her presence; the other acted as if the other didn't exist—which only fueled the backlash further.

Fortunately, neither caused any real trouble; their energy was channeled into acting instead.

Both seemed to think their acting was excellent.

Yet both were utterly crushed by the little girl Yang Enyou!

"Little Nezha, how'd you act so well? Teach your sister, okay~"

In the trailer, Unlike Ni Ni was snacking, trying to "steal" techniques from the child star.

She called her "Little Nezha" because Yang Enyou's movie costume was so similar—two topknots, often holding a red tassel spear, just like Nezha's "classic skin."

However, Ni Ni's question did stump the little Nezha—how could a child possibly have any notion of acting technique?

She just follows her feeling.

Even if you ask her what kind of feeling it is, she probably couldn't explain it.

The little Nezha was indeed puzzled by this question, but she honestly stated her method: do whatever the director tells her to do.

"Sister, can I still have snacks?"

Look at how hungry the child is!

She even switched back from calling the auntie "auntie" to calling her "sister"~

Ni Ni smiled and patted her head, quickly handing over the snacks, "Eat up~"

But after receiving her favorite snacks, the little Nezha's first reaction was to turn back and look at Bai Liang, her eyes asking as if: Can I eat them?

This scene left Ni Ni utterly stunned—what, are you really acting like her father now?

Bai Liang: "Eat just a little, your mom specifically told me."

"Okay!"

"Great Immortal, I'm convinced—you really know how to raise kids!" Wang Yanlin couldn't help but give Bai Liang a thumbs-up; he'd previously thought his good buddy was just bragging~

Judging by the facts, he was still too young to doubt the Great Immortal's "skill set."

From now on, even if Bai Liang claimed he could give birth, Wang Yanlin would first consider whether it might be possible, rather than instinctively doubting it.

These past two days, he'd even genuinely started asking Bai Liang for advice on marriage.

Because Bai Liang said he understood this stuff~

Thanks to this trick, Bai Liang had already gotten several meals out of him these past few days.

But to the two sisters, it smelled like conning a fool.
