Time seemed to stand still.
Xia Weiliang stared at his hand holding hers, then looked up at him.
"You..."
Xiao Yi smiled, then gently took the spoon from her hand. "Don't eat too much cold."
Xia Weiliang: "..."
Actually, every girl has fantasies about romance, even wanting to try what it feels like to publicly flaunt their affection and be envied by everyone!
But the reality was, their public display of affection was truly filling!
She no longer denied or resisted as before. Just like promoting a CP, when cooperation is needed, one must cooperate!
Since Xiao Yi had thrown her an olive branch, there was no reason for her not to accept it!
Therefore, she managed to force out a very cute and gentle smile, turned her head, and squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth: "You're overacting!"
Her voice was so low that she herself would have needed a hearing aid to hear it, but she never expected Xiao Yi to understand!
He leaned closer, his deep and alluring voice right by her ear, a blatant temptation!
"I've always strived for realism in my acting because I like genuine things."
How could their small interactions escape the sharp eyes of the vast number of netizens?
Thus, magnifying glasses and microscopes were deployed, determined to decipher what their "Niang Niang" was saying!
Good heavens, they played it back frame by frame!
Finally, a master deciphered her lip-reading, and soon a trending topic appeared with the words "Xiao Yi, You're Overacting."
Those who entered without knowing the context wondered, was this about acting?
This was clearly showing off their affection, wasn't it!
But the announcement was too fast, too abrupt, yet it felt completely natural... In short, it was like eating hot pot and then being stuffed with a large scoop of ice cream!
After tasting it, one would smack their lips and give a thumbs-up: Nice!
Soon, fans of both sides were busy!
What was going on?
Was it officially announced?
Sisters, regardless of who was announced, let's get to work!
And so, the Yi Mi (fans of Yi) and Liang Fen (fans of Liang) reached a consensus for the first time with such tacit understanding: secure the outside first, then deal with the internal!
Nuomi switched between two phones, answering calls on both sides.
"Are all the core members in position? Okay, okay, inform everyone to protect our Niang Niang at all costs. As for anyone else, whoever they may be... What about the Film Emperor? Let me tell you, if those loose-lipped people hurt our Niang Niang, we'll turn hostile and go after them!" Su Dan Novel Network
She was standing in the corridor when a voice came from behind her, a super cute loli voice.
"...Sister Ying, you're a veteran of our fan club, so you're experienced in handling these matters. Our company and studio have great trust in you... However, there are a few details I need to remind you of... We should focus on controlling the comments for now, and not start any fights... because I haven't officially confirmed things with Brother Yi yet..."
After Yan Zhi finished his call, he turned around and saw Nuomi standing there with her arms crossed, looking at him coldly.
Yan Zhi was startled, "Why are you here?"
He then reacted, "How much... did you hear?"
Nuomi said slowly, "From the moment you started making those disgusting sounds."
Yan Zhi blushed, "That was a voice changer. After all, dealing with these fans, it's inconvenient for me as a man, and it's also inconvenient to hand this work over to outsiders, so I had to step in..."
"You're Xiao Dou Hua?"
"..."
Yan Zhi's facial muscles twitched, "Let's discuss this. I want to buy this information."
Nuomi suddenly smiled, "It's not expensive. How about one Weibo post from you?"
---
The live broadcast room had never been this lively.
It felt like the executives behind the scenes were already popping champagne in advance, finally having dealt with a competitor whose ratings had soared by telephoning Xia Weiliang during the show!
The host's joy was almost overflowing from the screen, "Oh, it's Brother Yi! Hahaha... I thought, ever since our Weiliang's resurgence..."
Xiao Yi turned his head to look at him, smiling but also sternly reminding him, "Watch your wording. It's not a resurgence; she's always been popular..."
The host: "..."
Whether she was popular or not wasn't up to him, the host, to decide!
Xia Weiliang felt so embarrassed that she wanted to perform a successful mortal tribulation.
Turning her head, Xiao Yi looked at Xia Weiliang and smiled, "... In my eyes."
Xia Weiliang shifted her body and strategically took a sip of water.
Once the floodgates of sweet talk opened, it was as if she had unlocked the Ren and Du meridians. If she didn't prepare a draft, it would be an injustice to this miracle of speaking off the cuff!
Xiao Yi took Xia Weiliang's hand and said slowly, "She didn't want to hinder my career, so she never planned to go public. Then, after the banquet, I used a little trick and invited her to the hotel."
Xia Weiliang watched him silently.
The host became the internet's mouthpiece, "What kind of little trick was it? Can you share it with us?"
"No, no, no!" Xia Weiliang didn't want Xiao Yi to go further astray while he was trying to bring a bull back.
Xiao Yi chuckled, patting her shoulder comfortingly, "You don't need to worry about affecting my image. Not saying anything would make people suspicious! Instead of letting those outside voices hurt you, it's better for us to confess ourselves."
His words were both reasonable and touching, and the host couldn't help but applaud him, "As expected of Brother Yi! Your perspective on this is so clear!"
The bullet comments at this moment were peculiar, sharply divided.
In short, some were going wild, while others were Zen-like, projecting an air of "you toxic couples can no longer hurt me."
Many, many years later, this batch of netizens would be hailed as the most enlightened generation.
Xia Weiliang sighed, it had come to this... might as well just give up.
She looked up and quietly called out to a staff member, "I'm hungry, bring me a cup of instant noodles."
The staff member was the same one who had brought her the ice bucket. Without a word, he patted his chest, signaling "Leave it to me!"
Soon, a steaming cup of instant noodles was delivered.
The host quickly looked down at his script. Was this item on the list? Was it?
Xia Weiliang ate happily, "You guys chat, don't mind me."
The host looked up, took a deep breath, and maintained his smile, "I've been in this industry for over twenty years, and this is the first time I've encountered a guest whose image can be explored repeatedly without yielding the same results."
Xiao Yi smiled dotingly, reaching up to stroke her hair, "That's why I'm so fortunate. I found just one like this, and I managed to pick her up."
Honestly, the host had never seen Xiao Yi like this before and found it a little hard to adapt.
If it were someone else today, they would have been criticized for being cheesy.
The bullet comments were now going wild!
[Just tell us, when did you secretly practice all these sweet talk lines behind my back? How do they just roll off your tongue?]
[I don't believe it, I don't believe it! This can't be real! This definitely can't be real! Ahhhhh! I object to this marriage! My whole family objects!]
