Seeing her cry so miserably, Xia Weiliang was also a little surprised. "What's wrong?"
Just then, Xi En came out and saw this scene.
Seeing Zhang Miaomiao clinging to her again, Xi En could no longer bother with his expression management. His face instantly sank. "Heh, you don't understand what I'm saying, do you?"
Zhang Miaomiao trembled all over, her eyes widening in fear as she looked at him. "En Ge..."
Xiao Nuomi quickly interjected at the opportune moment, "The reporters are still outside."
"It's just a matter of clearing out a few bad apples."
These words were completely without any mercy, especially in a place like the film set where gossip was rife.
Zhang Miaomiao was sobbing uncontrollably. "Weiwei Jie, it's really not me this time. You have to believe me!"
Her words revealed some information. Xia Weiliang, having lived two lives, guessed about seven or eight parts after glancing at her.
The young girl had her own agenda, that was undeniable.
However, it seemed she was truly wronged this time.
If asked why Xia Weiliang believed her, she didn't know either, it was purely instinct. She could completely feel the girl's eagerness to prove herself, much like herself being thoroughly criticized. Even if she had a hundred mouths, no one would want to hear a single word of her defense.
If someone had told her at that moment, "Just jump off the building and I'll believe you!"
Perhaps, she would have done it without hesitation.
Xia Weiliang sighed. It was because of this past experience that she easily believed Zhang Miaomiao.
"Alright, stop crying, you look quite ugly." She took out a tissue and helped wipe away her tears.
Zhang Miaomiao was stunned, looking at her blankly. "You... believe me?"
"Yes."
Xia Weiliang sighed faintly. "You're just that silly. When you cry, I believe you."
Her tone, which seemed helpless yet was full of pampering, completely captivated Zhang Miaomiao.
She threw herself into Xia Weiliang's arms, wrapping her arms around her neck and pressing her cheek tightly against her chest. "Thank you, Weiwei Jie, thank you..."
Nuomi: "..."
What was with this strange CP vibe?
Xi En crossed his arms and watched from the side with cold eyes.
Although the surrounding staff kept glancing over, the presence of the Film Emperor and the Empress, with their intangible aura, made the surrounding area barren! Who would dare approach?
Xi En stared coldly at Zhang Miaomiao, his gaze sharp and chilling, as if he wanted to silence her.
Guoguo watched, alarmed, and instinctively moved closer to her own artist, prepared to shield her from harm in a dangerous moment.
Xia Weiliang pushed away the person who was clinging to her and beckoned Guoguo. "Take her in to wash her face and have her makeup touched up."
Guoguo quickly pulled Zhang Miaomiao into the makeup room.
Nuomi resignedly said, "I'll handle the outside."
After the others left, Xi En let out a light chuckle. "Heh, so you were afraid of her crying." There was a hint of sarcasm in his words.
"Wrong! I'm afraid of women crying."
Xia Weiliang waved her hand. "Troublesome."
"You don't cry?"
She gave a self-deprecating laugh. "Crying doesn't solve anything. Besides, are my tears useful? Who am I crying for?"
Therefore, those who could cry freely were those who had someone to rely on.
She could not.
Xi En looked at her intently, then suddenly said, "From now on, when you want to cry, just come to me."
Xia Weiliang blinked. "Teacher Xi, what scene are you playing? Have you gotten into character so quickly?"
Good heavens, such cheesy lines, and Teacher Xi En delivered them so easily!
As expected of someone at the pinnacle of domestic drama, now all that mattered was seniority.
Xi En remained silent, his brow twitching almost imperceptibly.
Suddenly, he smiled again.
"You figured it out, huh?"
"Of course!"
Xia Weiliang patted her chest. "I've followed Teacher Xi through botanical gardens and fallen into deep pits! I know your acting style like the back of my hand, I can see right through you!" She laughed heartily.
It felt like she was about to descend the mountain, it was incredibly exhilarating!
Xi En also laughed, but his laughter was devoid of warmth, even containing a hint of annoyance.
The reporters all knew that Nuomi was Xia Weiliang's assistant. The young girl was clever and eloquent, having learned well from the Empress. With a few words, she managed to please everyone, and they all expressed that they could go back and file their reports after getting their material.
The reporters dispersed, leaving only the cat-like fans.
After Nuomi consulted, they decided to let Zhang Miaomiao come out to meet them. Otherwise, if the rumors continued to escalate and fans caused trouble, it would still affect the main artists!
Zhang Miaomiao also agreed to the proposal. After a simple touch-up of her makeup, she went out to meet her fans.
Seeing their "little cabbage" sister, the fans were heartbroken.
"Sister, don't be afraid! We're here to protect you, no one can take what belongs to you!"
"That's right! No one knows your efforts better than we do!"
"So what if Liang Fen are formidable? We're not afraid for the sake of our sister!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Miaomiao quickly reassured them, "My Miao Miao, you've misunderstood..."
Not far away, watching Zhang Miaomiao earnestly explain for Xia Weiliang, Xi En slowly said, "This could also be a case of nurturing a tiger that will bring disaster upon you."
In this industry, no child was simple.
Those who appeared pure and innocent on the surface might be more ruthless than anyone else!
"So be it!" Xia Weiliang was quite open-minded. "There are many people who dislike me in this world, but I love seeing them furious yet unable to get rid of me. It's truly exhilarating!"
Xi En chuckled. "You have the capital to be arrogant. Why don't you use this drama to prove yourself then."
"You mean..."
Xia Weiliang understood.
"I know you have the right, and I don't want to play the female lead anymore. I really love my current role as female four, Guan Shengqiu."
She was a person who stuck to her principles; roles were not small or large, they could shine if played well.
Xi En looked at her and slowly smiled.
Zhang Miaomiao was explaining so diligently, even going so far as to reveal her embarrassing bloopers of NG over twenty times on the first day, all to prove that Xia Weiliang had found her, but the photos were not taken by her.
Some fans found it strange. "Sister Miao, do you like Xia Weiliang now?"
It was a perfectly normal question, referring to a different kind of liking, but Zhang Miaomiao became shy and nervous, tugging at the hem of her clothes. "It's, it's okay... I don't dislike her, so that must mean I like her..."
After speaking, she lowered her head, her face showing an unusual blush.
She didn't know if it was the lilies of her hometown, but she only knew that this feeling of a racing heart and blushing face had only ever been felt with Xia Weiliang!
So, it must be liking, right?
It must be liking!
After realizing this, Zhang Miaomiao smiled and said to her fans, "That's right, I like her!"
However, the fans didn't react much to this. After all, it was in front of everyone; how could she say she disliked her?
Therefore, what their sister said was not wrong!
It didn't necessarily mean she truly liked her; it was acting, and everyone understood.
