To the surprise of all her fans, the original poster replied!
In the comment with the most likes on the "official announcement," a reply from "Yi Shen" appeared: "Can someone help me persuade her?"
The comment section exploded.
Persuade!!
You can persuade her however you want!!
Instantly, fans spontaneously formed a persuasion brigade, appearing in Xia Weiliang's comment section in various poses, like a marching band.
[As the saying goes, sooner or later, the announcement will be made. Not announcing brings only tears!]
[I'm a Mi (Yimi). Although I like my brother to be solo, I still want to ask, what is my brother lacking?]
[Actually, we, the in-laws, are not unreasonable people. We've already prepared the betrothal gifts. Just say the word!]
The fans' sincere pleas touched Nuomi.
She had intended to check how the online buzz had developed so the company could prepare a public relations strategy. But unexpectedly, the fans had already handled everything and, in the process, initiated a wave of demands for an announcement.
"Sister Wei... look at these little darlings, they've already brought tears to people's eyes."
Xia Weiliang stared at her phone, lost in thought.
"Sister Wei?"
Xia Weiliang remained oblivious, seemingly deep in thought.
Nuomi was about to speak again when she saw Xia Weiliang pick up her phone and start typing a reply.
"Sister Wei!" she exclaimed, "Wait a moment!"
Seeing her press the send button, Nuomi was a step too late!
"Ah! Sister Wei, what did you send?"
Nuomi felt she should just give up and start a fight.
"All done."
Xia Weiliang stood up and stretched lazily, in a good mood, squinting at the blue sky. "The weather's nice today."
Before Nuomi could check Weibo, her phone rang.
Xia Weiliang turned and smiled at her, then placed her hand on the younger girl's shoulder. "Little Nuomi, I'll be troubling you for the next few days~"
Nuomi gasped. Had she just picked a fight?
She shakily answered the phone. On the other end was Ji Huan. After listening, Nuomi's eyes widened. "N-no way?!"
When she tried to get confirmation from Xia Weiliang, the latter had already gathered her hands and ambled off to chat with her "Big White Brother."

"Ah——"
Da Yang, who was drinking milk tea, was startled, almost dropping his cup.
He frowned, disapprovingly saying, "Brother Zhi is of a mature age. Can you stop being so rash when you do things?"
"Announced! Announced!!"
Yan Zhi excitedly showed his phone to Da Yang. "Look, look!"
"What announced..." Da Yang glanced at it, his milk tea cup slipped from his hand, and he stared blankly at the phone. "Ahhhhhh——"
They couldn't even bother with the conversation inside. Excitedly, they pushed the door open and rushed in. "Brother Yi! Brother Yi!"
"No manners!"
Xiao Deye struck the ground heavily with his cane, his brows furrowed, a look of displeasure on his face. "Fourth Brother, is this how you raise your people!"
Xiao Yi didn't speak. Precisely because he had brought them up, he knew them. They wouldn't be this reckless unless it was something extremely urgent.
"What is it?" he asked.
The two were flushed with excitement. "Brother Yi! Empress... Empress announced!!"
Xiao Yi was taken aback. He hesitated for two seconds, then calmly picked up his phone.
Xiao Deye didn't understand and asked with a frown, "Announced what? What's going on?"
However, Yan Zhi and Da Yang were both staring at Xiao Yi, completely ignoring his question.
Xiao Yi, meanwhile, stared at his phone. His expression seemed unchanged, but the corners of his mouth betrayed an irrepressible smile.
Xiao Deye was stunned. The Xiao family had strict rules. The Xiao brothers had honed their ability to remain poker-faced since childhood. This was the first time he had seen Xiao Yi like this.
Weibo had crashed.
A few seconds before Weibo crashed, he saw the Weibo post from that girl.
[Xia Weiliang: This life, I have come to find you.]
The most beautiful words he had ever heard in his life were nothing more than this.
