Chapter 90: Watch How I Bully You!

Hu Yanbing, rushing over, felt a chill run down his scalp under Bai Liang's "pitiful" gaze.

Realizing he'd been labeled a pathetic ex-lover licking his boots, he quickly explained:

"I'm here to pick up Doggy's things—I just brought him home from the pet hospital."

Oh~ Misunderstanding cleared.

But now it was Hu Yanbing's turn.

He glanced at Shuangzi, sitting on the ground hugging her knees with her head down, then at Bai Liang, and couldn't help but feel puzzled: "What's going on between you two...?"

"She fell. Take her to the hospital—you don't even know how bad her injuries are."

"Huh? How did she just fall like that? Can she walk? My car's in the underground garage."

Though they'd broken up, Hu Yanbing clearly wasn't heartless enough to leave Shuangzi injured and isolated—he asked no further questions, deciding to get her to the hospital first.

Fortunately, two big guys could easily handle a girl who weighed less than ninety jin.

They got her into the car quickly.

Bai Liang was finally free; he bid farewell and hurried off to check on the renovation.

As Hu Yanbing started the car, he helplessly glanced at Shuangzi in the backseat: "Be more careful next time."

Shuangzi ignored him, staring blankly at Bai Liang's retreating figure.

After a while, she turned to Hu Yanbing: "Are you close to him?"

"He's a friend—nice guy. You treated him like that and he didn't even care."

Hu Yanbing couldn't help himself—he spoke up for Bai Liang.

But Shuangzi ignored him again, shrinking further into the corner.

Yet once the car exited the underground garage, she couldn't resist rolling down the window to let the sunlight flood in.

How could there be such a person?

A strange feeling lingered in Shuangzi's heart—perhaps she hadn't even realized it herself, but the halo she'd placed over someone, given her painfully inexpressible life experience, was like a temple rising from barren soil.

"Is he in any drama airing right now?"

Hu Yanbing:... Dude, am I some kind of point-and-read machine, only good for being asked questions?

But he still weakly answered.

Shuangzi murmured "Oh," then started fiddling with her phone.

After a while, she put it down.

Hu Yanbing couldn't resist asking: "What are you doing?"

"Posting a Weibo to promote him."

Hu Yanbing:???

Nuts... He was utterly baffled by this woman.

Still, he suddenly admired Bai Liang—how the hell did you pull this off?

How did you... cough, how did you tame... no, that's not right—what exactly did you do?

Then he got distracted, didn't pay attention to the road ahead being repaired, and realized too late.

He yanked the steering wheel hard—Boom—crashed into the wall.

Luckily, the speed was low; no one was hurt, just jolted around.

Hu Yanbing groaned at how cursed today was, then checked on Shuangzi's condition.

But he found her still lost in her own world, muttering words like "deserved it," "not worthy," and such.

Damn, she's slipping back into self-loathing again.

Hu Yanbing, having seen this before, wasn't worried—just even more curious about what Bai Liang had done.

Did he use some technique?

Since it was too late now, he'd first get someone to take Shuangzi to the hospital and wait for the tow truck himself.

"The renovation's going smoothly—you can inspect it when you come back. I've been pushing the progress."

"Thanks so much! 😘. GIF."

Typing always made people more "bold" than face-to-face chats or phone calls.

So Na Zha dared to send that kissing emoji.

Bai Liang fired back a similar one; they were basically kissing through their phones.

"Oh, by the way, there's good news and bad news—which do you want first?"

"Hmm... bad news."

"Shuangzi lives in the same complex as you—even directly across the building."

"Huh?!" Na Zha was genuinely shocked—what a coincidence. "Then what's the good news?"

"She seems to be preparing to move out—the apartment might be for sale too."

"Perfect!"

This news came from Hu Yanbing to Bai Liang—guaranteed true.

But whenever he passed it along, the guy always found ways to pry: What exactly did you say to Shuangzi? What happened between you?

Bai Liang, of course, told the truth—but the guy didn't believe him.

Still, as a friend, he gave some advice: Cherish your life—stay far away from Shuangzi.

And sure enough, it immediately came true.

Because Na Zha immediately called: "Why is she promoting you on Weibo? She specifically named you as the male second lead, saying you acted well..."

Bai Liang froze—was this real?

Sure enough, even he couldn't predict Shuangzi's behavior—she was utterly schizophrenic.

"It's perfectly normal," Bai Liang said calmly to Na Zha.

"Normal?"

"Yeah, she even said I was hotter than the male lead back then—back when the production's male lead was Yang Yang. She probably had a crush on me," Bai Liang bluffed offhandedly.

Hmm… Na Zha suddenly didn't know what to say, thought for a long while, then burst out laughing, "You're so adorable!"

"Huh? That word sounds weird when used to describe a guy."

"I don't care~"

"Then it's your call."

"Sometimes I really want to deliberately tease you…"

"Not a bad idea."

"Then wait for me to get back~ Or maybe I can land the role of Bei Weiwei—just wait and see how I'll tease you!"

One could only say that Na Zha's desire to play Bei Weiwei had reached its peak.

The big cotton was so soft to the touch—she wanted to squeeze it too~

But relying on herself seemed hopeless.

So, as Tang Ren Yi Jie, she naturally turned to Cai Yi for help, hoping to leverage the company's resources to secure more opportunities.

Cai Yi: Hehe~ Can you guess whether I'll help you with this?

Shuangzi's Weibo post really worked—it brought in a solid wave of traffic for *Wuxin Fashi*.

But many Shuangzi fans were puzzled: Could this be her new boyfriend?

It was too suspicious for her to suddenly promote Tang Ren's web drama at this moment, especially since she herself was already at the center of public controversy.

Of course, fans wouldn't accuse their idol of seamless dating transitions—but the priority now was to confirm the truth.

Some fans had already rushed to watch *Wuxin Fashi*, eager to check out the quality of this "new boyfriend."

Those who binge-watched quickly brought back new news: So handsome! Super, super hot guy!

But before Shuangzi's fans could begin discussing or digging deeper, photos of Bai Liang and Chen Yao's "date" leaked out.

At this moment, Tang Ren's side played the role of a literal "firefighter."

If they'd waited two more days, Bai Liang might have been "forced" to take over Hu Yanbing's position.

They were already a screen couple; now they'd added an offline publicity stunt with sweet moments—double-pronged, regardless of whether their relationship was real or not, it was definitely unrelated to Shuangzi.

On the other side, Hu Yanbing was in trouble: seeing Shuangzi's "new romance" was hopeless—apparently she'd just been promoting her friend's new drama—Shuangzi's fans naturally resumed their condemnation of him as the "heartless man."

Fortunately, this guy was truly "smart"—he'd released his new song, but left his Weibo comments completely closed.

Don't you understand what "unselectable" means?!

He'd learned this term from Bai Liang—earlier, while searching for Bai Liang's info, he'd seen clips of Bai Liang livestreaming games with Wang Sicong and others.

At the time, Wang Sicong had joked that Bai Liang didn't even have a Weibo account, and Hu Yanbing thought that made perfect sense.

Still, he hadn't gone too far—if he'd really wanted peace, he could've just deleted his Weibo and vanished.

But then he saw a photo online of the other guy in a cast—and his scalp went numb!

Maybe… I should just delete my Weibo and hide somewhere remote for a while.
