The news of the two appearing at Huatian Entertainment together, their pictures taken side by side, immediately hit the headlines.
Da Yang and Yan Zhi followed along, enjoying the gossip with everyone else, exchanging comments from time to time.
After receiving Xiao Yi's call, Da Yang drove directly to the underground parking lot to pick them up and leave.
Sitting in the car, Xia Weiliang stretched her fingers. Her emotions had been running high just now, and she hadn't paid attention, exerting too much force and injuring her finger slightly.
The man beside her glanced at her and took her hand to examine it.
"Next time for something like this, you don't need to do it yourself."
"How can that be! If you have an enemy, you must take revenge yourself! That's the essence of revenge!"
Yan Zhi, upon hearing this, agreed heartily, "I agree with that..."
As soon as he turned his head, he met Xiao Yi's slightly cold gaze.
As expected of the king of assistants, his eyes darted, and his tone shifted: "...I agree... not anymore! Revenge is dangerous, what if you get hurt again? Even if you don't care about yourself, you have to consider others! For example, us..."
Feeling the terrifying aura behind him disappear, Yan Zhi finally let out a sigh of relief.
My goodness, when did Brother Yi become so moody? One wrong word and you'll get a couple of sharp glances from him!
Who could stand this!
Actually, Xia Weiliang's injury wasn't serious and didn't require medication, but Xiao Yi was still worried. He insisted on stopping the car midway and ordered Yan Zhi to go buy medicine.
Given the lesson from earlier, Yan Zhi was exceptionally quick this time, managing to buy seven or eight types of medicine.
Xia Weiliang looked at the medicine, then at him: "I just sprained it, I wasn't beaten with eighteen kinds of weapons."
Yan Zhi waved his hand grandly: "My Empress, saying that makes us strangers! Use as much as you want! I have plenty!"
Xiao Yi glanced up at him, and Yan Zhi immediately got the hint.
"Um, Da Yang, are you thirsty? What do you want to drink?"
Da Yang: "No, I'm not thirsty!"
"I say you're thirsty, so you are thirsty!"
Yan Zhi stepped forward, grabbed him, and pulled him out. "Let's go, I'll treat you to bubble tea!"
The car was left with the two of them again.
Xia Weiliang looked at her finger, "I have only one question."
The man looked up: "Mm?"
"Is it necessary to wrap it up like a question mark?"
Xiao Yi's expression remained unchanged. "I saw that you seemed quite proud because of Xia Yiran, so I thought I'd leave you with a memento." With that, he directly put his arm around her waist, his head suddenly leaned closer, and before Xia Weiliang could react, his slightly deep voice sounded in her ear: "Look at the camera."
"Ah?"
It must be said that artists are born to live in front of the camera. Xia Weiliang hadn't quite figured out what was happening when her eyes instinctively sought out the camera.
Then, from her facial expression to her overall posture, everything was perfectly captured.
*Click—*
The photo was taken.
Xiao Yi released his hand and looked down at the photo.
Xia Weiliang was truly beautiful. Even though she always boasted about her own beauty, she was the one who was truly beautiful without realizing it.
This was because she didn't know her true beauty.
Like her now, that pure beauty was never superficial.
It was in her clear eyes, in her sincere smile, in her gaze fixed on him…
Xiao Yi stared at the two of them. He had taken countless posters and collaborated with many colleagues and models.
But only this casual photo made him genuinely believe that they were a perfect match.
Without a second thought, he directly posted a status on his Moments.
The photo was this one, not even retouched, just the raw image.
He said nothing, just the photo.
Soon, the comments under the Moments post were increasing by the second.
【Ahhhhhh! Tell me, I'm not hallucinating! Brother Yi posted on Moments?!】
【Oh my god! Brother Yi, are you okay? Ever since you announced your relationship, you've been going crazier and crazier down the path of flaunting your affection! You can't be stopped!】
【To be honest, they really do look good together!】
【……】
After reading so many comments, Xiao Yi replied only to the one saying they were a good match: 【Mm, I think so too.】
Then, things got even crazier below.
【Old Five, you've changed… you've started flaunting your affection. Oh right, do you know who I am? I doubt you've even saved my contact. I'm your eldest brother.】
【Hahaha, eldest brother begging online! Uh… I'm the second brother.】
Xiao Yi didn't have any blocking features enabled, so everyone saw this Moments post, including the Xiao family.
This prompted the Xiao brothers to collectively go out, rarely focusing on their brother's physical and mental health.
At the same time, Lin Suixiang, who was constantly watching Xiao Yi, also saw it.
She calmly looked at her phone, staring at the photo as if trying to bore a hole through it. Especially Xiao Yi's gaze at Xia Weiliang. She had known Xiao Yi since childhood but had never seen him look at any woman like that…
So, is this love?
Heh heh…
Hahahaha!
Lin Suixiang suddenly burst into uncontrollable laughter, then grabbed her phone and threw it against the wall!
Then die!
All of you, just die!
Meanwhile, Chu Qiao was doing her makeup, preparing for the next scene.
While playing with her phone, she happened to see a screenshot forwarded by a friend. She was biting on her bubble tea when her eyes widened suddenly, "Qichi! Qichi!"
The tall boy standing behind her looked over, his gaze naturally softening into a smile as it landed on her.
"Mm?"
He moved closer.
She held up her phone to show him: "What's going on?! Are they, are they really together? Oh my god! This girl Weiliang really has some luck! Hahaha… I'm so happy!"
Chu Qiao was one of the few who genuinely cared for Xia Weiliang, and her first reaction upon seeing the screenshot was heartfelt joy for her.
Qichi looked at the phone and raised an eyebrow: "It truly is quite surprising."
"Right, right! Who would have thought that the film emperor, who used to seem like he'd grow needles if he looked at another woman, would actually flaunt his affection so actively! Tsk tsk tsk, can you feel it? It's flaunting, AFFECTION!!"
Seeing her excitement, it was as if her own boyfriend had shown affection.
Qichi subtly raised his eyebrows, "So, you like these ostentatious displays?"
"How can this be called ostentatious?" Chu Qiao gave him a look as if to say, "Little brother, you really haven't seen much of the world," and then seriously explained: "This is extremely ostentatious!"
Qichi: "..."
Well, it’s true that you can never grasp her point.
Chu Qiao was still smiling when Qichi suddenly called her name, "Chu Qiao, look here."
"Ah?"
As Chu Qiao looked at him, he raised his phone and took a picture.
Chu Qiao was stunned: "Why are you taking a picture of me?"
Although taking pictures of artists for promotional material was also part of an assistant's job, this boy rarely took photos of her, always saying she was too good-looking and didn't need to post promotional photos often.
He said it was called hunger marketing.
Whether she was truly hungry, Chu Qiao didn't know, but she didn't mind. As a capable actress who conquered audiences with her acting skills, being mysterious in private was not bad.
So, when she saw her photo in Qichi's hand, she was still stunned.
Qichi, meanwhile, began posting on his Moments, typing as he spoke, "Since you like it, I'll cooperate then."
"What do you mean, you need to cooperate?"
