In her dreams, Xia Weiliang returned to her previous life.
In the hotel, clothes scattered everywhere…
The drug’s effects hadn’t worn off. Lying on the bed, she only managed to catch a glimpse of the man’s receding figure as he walked out, and his hand pulling away from the door…
The scene flickered through her mind like film frames.
After that night, her already precarious reputation suffered even more. Whether online or in real life, she was viciously cursed!
Su Hui and Xia Chengye, the parents she had called for over twenty years, suddenly became someone else’s parents!
No matter how she pleaded with them, they refused to look at her again!
And then there was Xia Yiran, who flaunted her superiority, calling her a fake and a nobody once she left the Xia family! Everything she had today was because of the title of Miss Xia family!
Damn it!
What was wrong with her relying on others?
Why were they cursing her?
And those keyboard warriors online, who lived on instant noodles and couldn’t even recite the twenty-four character socialist core values, only knew how to shout abuse at her, as if she had dug up their ancestral graves!
Why did they have to treat her like this?
Why?
“Weiliang? Weiliang?”
A familiar voice echoed in her ears.
Sobbing, she opened her eyes and saw a handsome face up close. She blinked twice, then suddenly hugged him tightly, crying with all the grievances she had.
“Wuwu~ They cursed me~”
Xiao Yi was taken aback for a moment, but his brows furrowed as he heard her words.
“Who cursed you?”
She wrapped one arm around his neck and pointed forward with the other, “Them… they cursed me…”
Facing them, a group of people who had already been stunned, hearing this, panicked and quickly retreated to the sides, leaving the area where the "Niang Niang" was pointing empty.
See, there’s no one here!!
Xiao Yi understood something. His voice was extremely soft as he spoke into her ear, “From now on, no one will dare to curse you again.”
His nonchalant tone, however, surprisingly reassured her.
Xia Weiliang was still immersed in her dream, crying uncontrollably, completely unaware that the elevator doors had long since opened, and a crowd of onlookers had gathered.
It was Yan Zhi who reacted the fastest. He quickly blocked the doorway, “Uh… everyone, stop looking. Teacher Xiao and Teacher Xia are rehearsing! Teacher Xia… she’s gotten possessed.”
Yes, possessed.
Believe it or not!
At the same time, Yan Zhi gave a signal to Da Yang, his eyes conveying “execute immediately,” which Da Yang understood perfectly!
“Which department are you from? Leave your name and phone number, thank you… Sorry, don’t leave yet, which department are you from… What did you see just now? Saw nothing? Please, my good sir, if you’re going to lie, at least be more convincing! You should at least say you were too far away to see or hear clearly!”
Yan Zhi watched from the side with great satisfaction.
Da Yang was finally getting close to a promotion.
Turning back to the elevator, he silently turned around.
“…Why do they say I have no skills? I’ll just work hard and show them… I’m not a fake…”
Xia Weiliang was still nestled in the arms of the film emperor, as if only there could she find a sense of security.
As if trapped in a nightmare, she couldn’t wake up and kept babbling.
“It’s all their fault, so why should I bear the consequences? What do parents mean to me? And what meaning do I have to them? If they disliked me so much, kicking me around like a ball, why did they give birth to me in the first place?”
Xiao Yi sat there without moving, holding the person in his arms, listening quietly.
Only after she fell asleep again did he pull at the corner of his lips, “The only right thing they ever did was give birth to you.”
As Xiao Yi carefully carried her out, the area had already been cleared.
Da Yang, afraid of further rumors about his boss, stepped forward to take Xia Weiliang, “Boss, I…”
Yan Zhi quickly pulled him back, “What boss? Go and contact the hotel surveillance now!”
“Oh~”
Da Yang scratched his short hair and obediently went to handle it.
Xiao Yi carried her straight to her room.
Yan Zhi called softly from outside, “Brother Yi, I’m outside, don’t worry!”
With that, he thoughtfully closed the door.
Xiao Yi placed her on the bed, paused for a moment, then slowly lowered his head towards her, who was still murmuring intermittently…
He touched her forehead, and the unusual heat made him frown.
Just as he was about to leave, his hand was suddenly grabbed.
Looking back, Xia Weiliang stared at him blankly, then her lips quivered pitifully, and she said with a sob, “Are you leaving? Don’t go… Don’t go… I’m scared alone…”
A soft spot in his heart was unexpectedly conquered.
He looked at her, walked over, and sat down.
“Mm.”
Xia Weiliang looked at him with hazy eyes, then suddenly smiled foolishly, grabbed his hand, and rested her cheek on it.
Ah, now she felt at ease.
When Lin Suixiang saw Xia Weiliang again, her gaze fell on the hand she was tightly clutching Xiao Yi’s.
She tightened her grip on the medical kit, trying to keep her tone calm, “Let me take a look.”
She approached, glanced at Xiao Yi, then at their clasped hands, and hinted, “Xiao Yi, you should wait outside. That way… I can’t examine her.”
Xiao Yi looked down at Xia Weiliang. Seeing that she was fast asleep, he then pulled his hand away.
But as soon as he moved, Xia Weiliang, as if someone was trying to snatch her treasure, tightly grasped his hand and yanked it towards her…
The soft touch against his hand made Xiao Yi’s expression falter.
It was undeniable that Xia Weiliang was beautiful, and her figure was renowned in the industry – full where it should be, and slender enough to be easily held. It was almost her prime year for dating.
Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow and looked at the girl who was completely unaware, a helpless smile on her face. Deep within his eyes, there was a hint of indulgence that even he hadn't noticed.
Lin Suixiang gritted her teeth watching this scene, her impression of Xia Weiliang worsening by the moment.
This woman wasn’t as cheerful as she appeared; she was a manipulative schemer playing dumb!!
“Xiao Yi…”
She was about to say more when Xiao Yi suddenly said, “Just look like this.” He looked up and glanced at her, “I know your medical skills.”
His words made Lin Suixiang’s expression change slightly.
She quickly lowered her head and moved to the other side of the bed to examine Xia Weiliang.
“…There’s no serious issue. She’s just overly frightened. The physiological fever is not pathological. She doesn’t need medication; she’ll recover with rest.”
Lin Suixiang came from a family of doctors and possessed a professional depth that was difficult for her peers to match.
Therefore, Xiao Yi’s heart was finally at ease when she said she was fine.
He looked down at the girl again, his gaze falling on the hand she was tightly holding. After a moment of hesitation, he decided to pull it out…
But who knew, the person in her sleep was still restless. She quickly grabbed his hand and, in anger, opened her mouth and bit down…
You won’t listen to me!
I’ll bite you!
Heh, scared now?
After unleashing her divine power, she turned over contentedly and continued to sleep.
Lin Suixiang stood aside, watching resentfully. Seeing Xia Weiliang dare to bite Xiao Yi, she anxiously said, “Xiao Yi! I’ll give you a tetanus shot…”
Xiao Yi raised his hand to signal her to be quiet, then bent down to tuck her in, and brushed the stray hair from her face, revealing her flushed, tender cheeks.
He looked down at the small teeth marks on his hand, the corner of his lips slowly curving upwards. He held his hand up to admire it for a long time, then suddenly said, “You know, why is she so cute even when she bites?”
