After a break, recording resumed.
The host excitedly took the stage to announce a heavyweight guest, while the Tie family was still chatting.
Brother Cheng: "Let me tell you, the little dog I raise is as smart as me!"
Sister Hua: "Does it call you 'Daddy'?"
Brother Cheng: "Why are you so annoying!"
Ruìruì: "Haha…"
Xia Wei Liang's mouth opened to laugh, but her smile gradually froze as she saw the person walking out.
Brother Cheng and Sister Hua turned their heads, both wearing shocked expressions.
Ruìruì was completely stunned.
As the entrance background music played, Xiao Yi looked like a noble from a medieval oil painting, wearing a white English court-style shirt, tight pants, black leather boots, a brown leather belt as an accessory, and a sword on his left side.
With such a simple getup, worn by Xiao Yi, he looked as if he were gilded, a true Prince Charming!
The surrounding audience screamed, unable to believe it was actually the esteemed actor Xiao!
The esteemed actor Xiao rarely participated in variety shows, at most accepting an interview. Unexpectedly, this time he had truly descended to the mortal realm!
"Ahhh! Xiao Yi! It's Xiao Yi!"
"My Yi Shen!"
"Brother, look here! Look here!"
"Oh my god! Brother's smile is about to send me away!"
A Ning and Zi Xuan were both Yi Mi fans. The two little girls jumped up excitedly, "Brother Yi! Brother Yi, over here!"
Xiao Yi walked over slowly. Hearing the two little girls' voices, he smiled faintly at them.
"Ahhh! I'm gone! I'm gone!"
"Brother Yi!!"
The host kept reminding from the side, "We're filming! Besides, you two are idols, can you have some idol awareness? Look at Ruìruì, how calm he is seeing his idol!"
As soon as the words fell, Ruìruì had already rushed over, darting back and forth in front of Xiao Yi like a little husky: "Brother Yi! I'm Ruìruì! Ruìruì from u11!"
Xiao Yi nodded, his voice slightly deep, "I remember."
"Ah! Brother Yi remembers me! He remembers me!"
Ruìruì was so excited that he performed a backflip.
It was evident that the Tie family truly didn't know the guest's identity this time. Judging by their reactions, there was no faking it.
Brother Cheng chuckled, "The post-production team for this episode deserves a bonus! How many cuts would they have to make!"
Xia Yi Ran's eyes sparkled, and she secretly gripped the hem of her skirt with excitement.
This was truly an unexpected gain!
She had only heard that a big star would be invited, but she never expected it to be Xiao Yi! If she could have some connection with Xiao Yi, her popularity would skyrocket!
Her previous gloom vanished, and she smiled charmingly, stepping forward to greet the esteemed actor, "Brother Yi, hello. I'm the newcomer Xia Yi Ran, please take care of me."
Xiao Yi's gaze swept over her faintly and he nodded slightly, "Hello."
Then, his gaze brilliantly moved past her, directly landing on someone.
The moment Xia Wei Liang met his gaze, her expression faltered for a second, then she quickly smiled like a blooming flower and sweetly said, "Hello, Teacher Xiao."
Teacher Xiao?
Everyone present called him "Brother Yi," but she, remembering her original promise, acted as if eager to distance herself whenever outsiders were around.
Heh.
The host managed the situation, finally calming the three wildly excited members of Memory Arc Company.
Host: "Brother Yi, everyone knows you rarely participate in variety shows. Why did you choose to come to 'Challenge This!'? Were you deeply attracted by the charm of our program?"
Xiao Yi remained polite throughout, but his expression was slightly indifferent, his aura exuding an intense aloofness.
"I happened to have free time and also received an invitation."
In the audience, Yan Zhi sighed softly.
Even now, he still remembered the ear-piercing screams of the female producer when he had proactively contacted the "Challenge This!" production team…
The segment designed next naturally had to involve the great star.
The content was that the great star had starred in a romantic film. The female guests on set would play the role of the great star's girlfriend, and the great star would then comment and score.
A Ning and Zi Xuan were new to the girl group and had little acting experience. Coupled with facing their idol, they were so nervous they couldn't even speak. Fortunately, it was a recorded segment, so it wasn't too embarrassing.
Although Xiao Yi was strict, he didn't make it too difficult for them. Both received a score of "6 points," which was passing.
Xia Yi Ran suppressed her excitement and walked up to the great star, looking up at him with deep affection: "Actually, I... I've liked you for a long time…"
Throughout the segment, Xiao Yi was very cooperative, truly professional.
Returning to her seat, Xia Yi Ran's cheeks were flushed, her heart pounding.
She finally understood why so many actresses aspired to act opposite the esteemed actor Xiao!
With just one glance, she was completely captivated!
Those eyes were so expressive!
It was as if she were the woman he had loved deeply and solely in his entire life!
She even thought that if she could gain the esteemed actor's love in reality, it would surely bring immense happiness!
When it was Xiao Yi's turn to score, it was another 6 points.
Xia Yi Ran felt a little indignant. Hadn't she performed better than the two girl group idols? Why only 6 points?
When the host called out Xia Wei Liang, her whole body resisted!
Brother Cheng glared at her, "Why are you so lacking in spirit? Just go when they call you!"
Sister Hua also urged, "Let me tell you, Liang'er, opportunities to act with the esteemed actor are rare. Perhaps, this is the only time in your life!"
Brother Cheng chimed in, "To leave something for your future descendants, you should hurry up and go!"
Ruìruì was completely captivated by Xiao Yi's charm, a foolish smile on his face, "Wei Wei sister, if you don't go, I'll go for you…"
Brother Cheng: "What's a child doing getting involved? Go away!"
Sister Hua: "Go away!"
If she didn't go now, it would be too affected. Xia Wei Liang just didn't understand why they were calling her when she wasn't even a guest.
Xiao Yi stood in the center of the stage, bathed in a row of spotlights, tall and elegant, peerless. He slightly tilted his head to look at her, not in a hurry, his lips seeming to curve upward, a half-smile that reminded her of the audition that day, of the embrace in the darkness…
Her face felt hot.
Xia Wei Liang forced herself to walk over, her beautiful figure becoming increasingly clear in the man's dark pupils.
Standing before him, Xia Wei Liang realized he was truly tall. She was wearing high heels, yet she only reached his chin.
The combination of handsome man and beautiful woman was always pleasing to the eye, especially Xia Wei Liang's marvelous affinity for creating chemistry with anyone. Standing before the esteemed actor, she wasn't suppressed by his aura, but instead, like a delicate and dewy rose, she bloomed brilliantly.
The stage lights were intensely dazzling, and with the audience below, acting opposite the esteemed actor in front of so many people was undeniably nerve-wracking.
Xia Wei Liang raised her beautiful eyes, her gaze pure and untainted.
"I, actually I... I..."
Ahhh!
Why was she stammering?!
"I..."
The audience was silent, all waiting for her to deliver her complete line.
It was simple, just one sentence.
"Actually, I've liked you for a long time."
Was the line somehow burning her tongue?
Her face grew redder.
Meeting the man's dark eyes, Xia Wei Liang tried her best to open her mouth: "Actually... I..."
Suddenly, the person opposite her smiled.
Slowly, word by word, he said: "Actually, I've liked you for a long time."
Xia Wei Liang stared at him blankly. He said he...
