Xia Weiliang was ridiculed for winning an award, her acting career plummeted, and her persona as a wealthy heiress collapsed. Everyone knew she was only on "Challenge This!" to gain exposure because she lacked resources, capitalizing on its established audience.
Hah, what did they think this place was?
A refuge for washed-up stars?
Naturally, many in the crew were displeased with her, and Director Song’s attitude towards her was lukewarm.
Seeing her block the path of the esteemed actor Xiao and brazenly ask for a photo, was the great Xiao god someone like a common, innocent white lotus could touch?
The Yi Mi fans present were itching for a fight. Some quick-fingered individuals had already snapped photos and sent them back to "Rice Granary."
Rice Granary was the affectionate nickname for Xiao Yi's fan club. Since his fans called themselves Yi Mi, their fan club naturally became Rice Granary!
Makes perfect sense!
In an instant, "Rice Granary Warehouse No. 1" exploded.
[Heh, a total flop trying to create a sensation! Xia the Drama Queen is so washed up, yet she's desperately trying to latch on. She's probably not far from hitting rock bottom!]
[Does this person even know how to speak? What do you mean, 'not far'? She's already at the finish line! Daring to lay hands on our Yi God, she must not want to exist in the human world anymore!]
[Sisters, what are we waiting for? Grab your weapons and attack!]
[I'm going on Weibo to tell her to scram!]
Unexpectedly, this minor incident, spurred on by a prominent fan in Warehouse No. 1, escalated to Weibo. On Xiao Yi's super topic page, #Xia Liangliang, You're the Most Showy Among All Past Attention-Seekers# successfully topped the trending list.
But at this very moment, Xia Weiliang was oblivious. She stood there, chin held high, forcing a smile, gazing at him intently.
When it came to patience, she had plenty.
When it came to thick skin, she could afford any cost!
In the entertainment industry, one could have principles, one could have a bottom line, but shyness and reserve were simply too affected.
Seeing that Xiao Yi didn't answer immediately, and even frowned slightly, the Yi Mi fans who remained to observe felt reassured. The esteemed actor Xiao, known as the "mirror of demons," would absolutely, absolutely not give a big white lotus any attention! He…
"Okay."
Exm?!
The gossip groups were stunned. Yi God, were you under a mind-control spell? What happened to the mirror of demons?
Yan Zhi was also completely bewildered. This woman was clearly up to no good; why was he giving her an opportunity to get closer when he should be avoiding her?
Xia Weiliang had originally intended to hold her ground. For the sake of rewarding Little Rui Rui, she was determined to help him fulfill his wish! But when the other party readily agreed, it threw her off guard.
Shouldn't she… put up a little resistance?
"You wanted a photo, right? What are you waiting for? A red carpet?"
"..."
Well, when it came to sharp tongues, the esteemed actor Xiao always stood on the summit, planting his flag.
Sensing the impatient, dark look from the other party, Xia Weiliang forced a professional fan's smile, turned, and called for Nuo Mi to take the photo, while she symbolically stood beside Yi God.
"Rui Rui, you too!"
She beckoned with her hand, calling out naturally. Rui Rui's big eyes were filled with surprise, "Can I? Really can I?!"
Xia Weiliang smiled, this time with genuine delight, "Of course!"
Rui Rui eagerly ran over, happily standing on Xiao Yi's other side, a little shyly, "Th-thank you, Yi Ge!"
Treating him as a tool?
Very good.
Xiao Yi glanced at the person who was subtly trying to inch out of the frame with his dark eyes and replied faintly.
The space between Xia Weiliang and Xiao Yi was wide enough to fit another person. From the tips of her hair to the soles of her feet, she exuded "not familiar." Her desire to avoid suspicion was practically written all over her!
The esteemed actor Xiao turned to look at her. The woman in his memory had clung to him tightly in bed, asking for him again and again…
A mocking smile curved his lips. What was this?
An acting performance?
In the next instant, to everyone's surprise, he suddenly extended a long arm and casually pulled her closer.
Xia Weiliang froze.
She looked up at him in astonishment, her eyes, so beautiful they seemed to drip water, blinked twice. Her smile was forced, and her voice sounded as if run over by wheels, "Teacher Xiao, I don't want to be roasted by your fans~"
Xiao Yi looked at the camera, and a sarcastic smile seemed to touch his lips, "Saying that now, don't you think it's a little late?"
"..."
What of it?
No regrets, huh?
