Xiao Yi suddenly turned sideways, staring at her without blinking, "Good? What's good? What's good about it?"
Xia Wei Liang's eyes widened, somewhat confused, "It's just... it won't affect your acting career..."
"Acting career?" He chuckled, but the smile vanished in three seconds, "Do you think I still have room for improvement?"
"..."
It was so irritating!
Xia Wei Liang said cautiously, "Is this question too cruel for me, whose acting is mediocre?"
"Heh, so what are you afraid of? Just like your assistant said, it's not officially announced by you, so push all the responsibility onto me. What do you have to worry about?"
"..."
As expected, she heard it.
Xia Wei Liang pursed her red lips, finally looking up at him, "Do you have time? Let's find a place to talk."
"Sure, let's go to the hotel."
"!"
His indifferent attitude truly provoked Xia Wei Liang!
I've been talking to you politely all along, do you really think you're a superstar?
She turned her head and yelled, "Da Yang! Stop the car!"
Da Yang's hand trembled, almost stopping the car right in front of a cute traffic police officer.
"Niang Niang... no... this place has a sign prohibiting parking..."
"Does it also say you can't jump out of the car?"
"Oh, it doesn't say that."
Yan Zhi, frightened, slapped him, "Are you stupid? Are you stupid?"
Da Yang only then realized he had said the wrong thing, "Niang Niang, I didn't mean that..."
Xiao Yi had been watching her closely. Seeing her flushed cheeks, he didn't seem angry anymore. A faint smile appeared on his lips, "You think the news just now wasn't big enough, and you want to jump out of the car to celebrate?"
Xia Wei Liang glared at him for a while, then burst into laughter, "Xiao Yi, you really haven't changed! Your mouth is so venomous! In all the realms and nine underworlds, only I can handle you!"
As soon as she spoke, the atmosphere became subtly awkward.
Da Yang had the look of "I've heard something shocking, what are the chances of being silenced?"
Yan Zhi, having a bit more sense, frowned, clearly thinking: Well, with my top assistant status, the chances of being silenced should not be high.
Xia Wei Liang also realized she had said the wrong thing. She quickly shut her mouth and turned her head, pretending to watch the scenery outside.
"Stop the car."
The man beside her suddenly spoke.
Da Yang fumbled, "Stop, stop where?"
Yan Zhi's eyes were sharp, pointing to the entrance of an ancient street ahead, "There!"
Seeing the folk street, Xia Wei Liang's mind was suddenly filled with memories of her rebirth.
It was there that Xiao Yi took her to feel the atmosphere and experience the character's mindset.
In a daze, the car had stopped.
"Brother Yi, you wait here for a moment."
Yan Zhi reacted quickly, going down first to rent two Republic of China-style outfits, complete with masks and hats.
Then the two got out of the car. Xiao Yi changed first and came down, leaning against the car door like a gentleman, waiting for her.
Looking at the qipao, Xia Wei Liang smiled knowingly.
They say things change but people don't, but actually, the scenery remains the same, making those past events even more precious.
She changed her clothes, letting down her long hair and braiding it into two pigtails.
When Xia Wei Liang got out of the car, the man opposite was instantly captivated by her.
When Xia Wei Liang looked up at him, his gaze subtly shifted away.
"Let's go," he said.
Xia Wei Liang followed him. They walked along the bustling street, side by side, maintaining a distance, yet close enough for him to turn and shield her.
"What did you want to tell me?" Xiao Yi asked.
Xia Wei Liang pursed her lips, making a big decision before asking, "Was it you that night?"
Xiao Yi's steps faltered.
Looking at his back, she felt an inexplicable nervousness.
She didn't dare to listen further, nor did she dare to anticipate the answer.
Just as she was about to flee, the man slowly turned around. The half-mask he wore sculpted his smoothly flowing jawline with remarkable clarity.
Under her solemn gaze, he stepped forward, slowly raising his hand. After a moment of hesitation, he gently placed it on her cheek, stroking her face, and slowly said, "I think I had a long dream. As I've interacted with you more and more, the images in this dream have become clearer and clearer. Sometimes, I can hardly distinguish whether it's a dream, or something that truly happened, or perhaps... another parallel universe..."
Xia Wei Liang stared at him blankly, her chest suddenly filled with a sourness, and tears gradually welled up in her eyes.
"So, if I say, I think the person that night was me. Would you believe me?"
This was also the reason Xiao Yi had been hesitating lately. Forget that she wouldn't believe it, even he found it unbelievable!
But the fact was, he had indeed gone to the hotel that day, yet he had completely forgotten what happened that night!
Even stranger, when he asked the staff around him, they all said he hadn't gone that day, and he hadn't been to that hotel before.
Just when he thought this was the truth, he found custom matches from that hotel in the pocket of the tuxedo he wore that night...
He didn't know where things went wrong, he only knew that the images appearing in his mind, like these matches, were real.
So, he chose to follow his heart.
What surprised him even more was that Xia Wei Liang, after hearing his words, burst into uncontrollable sobs.
The next second, she cried and opened her arms to hug him, "I believe you, I believe it all..."
Xiao Yi was stunned, but he quickly smiled.
This was their first intimate contact, yet the moment she was in his arms, a long-empty corner in his heart seemed to be instantly filled!
He naturally hugged her tightly, his large hand falling onto the top of her head, "Thank you."
Thank you for solving the mystery that had been troubling him for days.
Whether those things truly happened or not, as long as she believed, it was enough.
Xia Wei Liang hugged him, her slender fair arms encircling him.
She was the one who should be thanking him.
Whether in her past life or in this reborn world, the one who always saved her was him.
In the distance, Da Yang's eyes almost popped out in shock!
"Zhi... Brother Zhi... Am I hallucinating? Quick, look! Look! They're even hugging! Is the pace too fast? Is this how young people play nowadays?"
No wonder he couldn't find a girlfriend!
He couldn't handle this level of intimacy!
Yan Zhi didn't speak, but suspiciously stared at the two people in front.
It was strange, but he actually... found the scene quite harmonious. What was going on?
As some avid fans had predicted, Xia Wei Liang was toxic! Don't get involved! Once involved, you're easily "liang-ified"!
Could it be that he had also been "liang-ified"?
No, no, no, that couldn't be!
Yan Zhi quickly bought himself another cup of milk tea to calm his nerves.
