Nuomi's arms were getting sore, but she didn't dare to make a sound.
Xia Weiliang, who had already ruined one account and was now completely lucid, caught sight of Xiao Yi's fans with expressions that suggested "how can our precious be sullied by a pig." She decisively broke free, circled around to Ruirui's side, and then unceremoniously linked arms with the little cutie.
Xiao Yi lowered his gaze, his emotions hidden deep within, his brow raising almost imperceptibly.
Ruirui, forced to stand in the center for the photo op, remained stiff and dared not move, feeling as though the very air around him had turned strange.
"Alright!"
Nuomi finally finished taking the photos, her palms sweaty.
Ruirui felt as though he had been granted a special pardon. He bowed repeatedly to Xiao Yi, "Thank you, Brother Yi! Thank you, Brother Yi!"
Xiao Yi merely gave a slight nod, walked past them, and left, not sparing Xia Weiliang another glance the entire time.
Ruirui, like a child who had received candy, happily took his phone to post on his Moments and Weibo.
Xia Weiliang turned her head, unconsciously observing from behind. To be honest, the man's walking posture was exceptionally good. Coupled with his perfectly standard model-like physique, he was a walking clothes rack that had truly come to life, making her want to let out a vulgar wolf whistle.
Tsk, tsk, tsk. She couldn't believe it, she had actually slept with the person who topped the list of female celebrities' fantasy objects in the industry!
Xia Weiliang sighed inwardly, lamenting this damnable fate that so many would envy!
Upon exiting the elevator, Yan Zhi looked around before resentfully complaining, "Boss, what do you think Xia Weiliang is up to again? They've already slept together, what else does she want?!"
The thought of it made him feel that his boss was at a disadvantage, a truly agonizing loss!
"Boss, you're just too soft-hearted. This woman is a sucker for good looks, she only likes handsome men..."
The person walking ahead paused and glanced at him sideways, "Handsome?"
"Yes, like Su Yuxi and you, boss, aren't you both..."
"Su Yuxi?"
Xiao Yi said expressionlessly, "Never heard of him."
It was normal for the boss not to have heard of a newcomer like Su Yuxi. So, Yan Zhi diligently explained, "He's an artist from 'Memory Arc'. He collaborated with Xia Weiliang on a low-budget web drama before."
Although the production team wasn't great, and Xia Weiliang's acting was difficult to describe, their chemistry as a couple was super strong, and fans recognized that now!
Consequently, some savvy drama fans re-edited the plot and uploaded it to short video platforms. Netizens were surprised to find that Xia Weiliang didn't seem so unbearable in the drama. However, Su Yuxi's fans were still very angry, telling her to stay far away from their brother!
Xiao Yi glanced at him and slowly asked, "So, Xia Weiliang likes him?"
"Probably! That's what the crew said at the time. Reporters who visited the set also said that when they were sitting together discussing scripts, pink bubbles were floating around them. There are even videos online... Hey, Brother Yi, why are you walking so fast? Wait for me!"
The man's voice was low and languid, "Aren't we going to be late? Still dawdling, want to chase after the car?"
"..."
Yan Zhi suddenly realized that he, the number one golden assistant in the industry, was understanding his boss less and less.
Backstage.
As rehearsals were about to begin, Xia Weiliang casually picked up a cup of coffee and took a sip. The taste was cool, and the scalded area in her mouth immediately felt relieved.
Actually, Actor Xiao's mouth was just a bit toxic; at least the coffee was good!
Just then, a shout came from behind: "Mine! It's mine!!"
Xia Weiliang was startled and saw Brother Cheng extending an arm like Er Kang, his nostrils also quite prominent!
She cautiously asked, "Brother Cheng, what's yours?"
"Heh, nothing, nothing~" Sister Hua came over, wrapping an arm around his neck and pulling him aside, "Just drink one less cup! Brother Cheng, I'm not scaring you, but if you continue to be so stingy, you'll be alone for life!"
Brother Cheng immediately became serious, "What is it that has kept me, 'Iron Head Cheng,' standing tall in the martial world for so long? It's the persona maintenance I've upheld for over a decade! Do you understand? That's called a memorable point!"
