Chapter 13 The Grand Public Humiliation

She stared at him, unblinking, her gaze darting around as if afraid of being discovered.

Xiao Yi frowned, his thin lips pressing together in impatience, and placed the item in his hand directly in front of her.

“?” Xia Wei Liang still wore a puzzled expression.

“……”

Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow and slowly said, “Weren’t you burned?”

“!”

Xia Wei Liang suddenly understood.

After meeting with the television station leaders, Yan Zhi hurried back to find Xiao Yi. The moment he saw Xia Wei Liang by his side, he acted as if facing a formidable enemy, quickly shielding his admired Xiao Yi behind him, like a mother hen protecting her chicks with spread wings.

“Miss Xia, we meet again?”

Yan Zhi had long ago classified Xia Wei Liang among the manipulative actresses and eyed her with vigilance, determined to prevent her from finding any opportunity.

Meet again?

She should be the one asking that question!

It felt like breaking into a house and running into the owner, but instead of fleeing, she was putting her hands on her hips and asking, what are you doing at home?!

Xia Wei Liang rolled her eyes, not intending to acknowledge him.

Humanity’s greatest progress is reflected in its non-discrimination against those with intellectual deficiencies.

“Let’s go.”

Xiao Yi turned to leave.

“Brother Yi! Brother Yi!” Just then, Ruirui came running over.

He approached Xiao Yi, his large eyes like a fawn’s, looking endearingly at him and shyly asking, “Brother Yi, I’m your fan. Can I take a photo with you?”

Xiao Yi slowly shifted his gaze to him, his eyes scanning from top to bottom. Knowing that the great actor Xiao Yi disliked taking photos, Little Ruirui said with trepidation, “It’s okay if we don’t take a photo, Brother Yi, could you… could you just give me an autograph… is that… okay?”

In front of a beloved idol, there are no idols, only fans.

Seeing the child’s cautious demeanor, Xia Wei Liang felt a pang of heartache, an inability to bear seeing her own child suffer injustice.

Although she hadn’t interacted with Ruirui for long, the child was very sensible. His innocent and lovable “little puppy” image, when standing next to the charismatic Xia Wei Liang, unexpectedly created a sibling dynamic. As an idol, he had no reservations and happily accepted the “sibling CP.”

Xiao Yi took the small notebook he was holding. “What’s your name?”

“Ah?”

Ruirui, overjoyed to be able to speak with his idol, immediately bowed ninety degrees. “Hello, Brother Yi. I’m Ruirui from U11, the ‘Rui’ from auspiciousness.”

The man looked down, signed the book, and handed it to him.

“Thank you, Brother Yi! Thank you, Brother Yi!” Ruirui hugged the book, unable to contain his happiness.

“Brother Yi, we should go,” Yan Zhi whispered, subtly blocking Xia Wei Liang, feeling that this eighteenth-tier celebrity had ill intentions.

Xia Wei Liang: “……”

Here are the words “childish,” take them, no need to thank me.

“Mm.”

As Xiao Yi turned, Xia Wei Liang glanced at Ruirui and, after some thought, mustered her courage to call out to him.

“Teacher Xiao?”

Xiao Yi paused.

As expected!

Yan Zhi suddenly turned around, staring at her as if she were a thief. “I’m sorry, Brother Yi has further arrangements!”

Xia Wei Liang stepped forward, tilting her head to look at Xiao Yi. “Teacher Xiao, can I take a photo?”

Yan Zhi, without thinking, crossed his arms over his chest. “No!”

If their relationship were to be discovered by the media, even a hint of it would be the biggest crisis of his boss’s career! As a gold-medal assistant, he would nip all potential hazards in the bud!

Xia Wei Liang didn’t look at Yan Zhi, her gaze fixed on Xiao Yi. His fair skin, exquisite features, and perfect body proportions all catered to the standards of male aesthetic appeal.

Xiao Yi’s expression was blank, his eyes naturally conveying a sense of coldness, the entire person exuding an aura of mystery and detachment.

Staff members around them, watching the unfolding scene with amusement, secretly aimed their phone cameras this way, waiting for Xia Wei Liang’s public humiliation.

As Yan Zhi’s refusal was about to escape his lips, faint laughter could be heard.

Xia Wei Liang’s cheeks felt a little warm, but she had already spoken. Did she, Liang Ye, have no dignity?

The scene thus became increasingly bizarre, with more and more people turning their attention this way. Most were onlookers, waiting for Xiao Yi to publicly shame the “green tea” actress.
