The car door opened, and someone got in.
Seeing this, Nuomi quickly got up and moved to the front.
It really said something for how smart this child was from a young age; her perceptiveness was off the charts!
Xia Weiliang glanced at the newcomer, then turned her body away again, her cheek almost pressed against the car window.
Scolding her…
Actually scolding her…
And doing so in front of so many outsiders…
Didn't she have any dignity?!
Wasn't she going to continue working in this circle?!
Hmph!
Scolding her…
Daring to scold her…
Xiao Yi glanced over. The woman sitting beside him looked as if a halo of dark smoke was about to form above her head; the sense of grievance was almost too obvious.
"Angry?"
"No!!"
Xiao Yi's lips curved slightly. He adjusted his posture and watched her with leisurely amusement. "Really?"
"Really!!"
The palpable resentment even impacted the driver in front and little Nuomi.
Xia Weiliang took a deep breath and said without turning her head, "I'm dragging everyone down, affecting the filming schedule! My attitude isn't serious! Your criticism is correct! If I'm wrong, I have to admit it! Why would I be angry? Huh? Why would I be angry!! I'm not angry! Not angry at all!!"
Nuomi swallowed and sat in front, not daring to breathe.
She sneakily pulled out her phone and sent a message to Song Yuan.
[Brother Yuan, save me~ Sister Wei seems about to mutate~]
A reply came back quickly:
[As long as she doesn't ascend to heaven, it's fine.]
[… ]
Brother Yuan, are you serious?!
Soon, Yan Zhi also got in, followed by Shang Rongrong and Uncle Chen.
"Little Liang, is it convenient to share a ride?"
Uncle Chen said jokingly, "Brother Chen here hasn't had the chance to experience the luxury of this top-class RV yet!"
"Yes, I haven't sat in one either. I wonder… will it bother you?"
It felt like Shang Rongrong's words had a double meaning, and she glanced at Xiao Yi simultaneously, with something vaguely visible in her eyes…
Schadenfreude?
Xiao Yi swept his gaze over the two, nodded slightly, and said, "I'm also sharing a ride."
It was an explanation as to why he was there.
However, his tone was so indifferent, it lacked all sincerity!
Even the veteran actors couldn't help but comment.
"Honestly, when you clarify things in front of outsiders, could you show a little more sincerity? That way, we could believe you more readily!"
Xia Weiliang might act spoiled in front of the movie emperor, but she was quite humble, eager to learn, and polite in front of outsiders.
"It's no trouble at all, how could it bother us? Just sitting in the same car with you two is like embarking on a wonderful journey through the ocean of knowledge."
Seeing Xia Weiliang reflexively reach for her notebook the moment she saw him, Uncle Chen quickly waved his hands in alarm. "Liang, your uncle is not young anymore, and his brain reacts slowly. Can you spare your uncle? If you have questions, find your Father Zhou!"
"A fellow friend is dying, but a poor Daoist is living!"
Director Zhou, whoever invited trouble, should deal with it!
Xia Weiliang turned her head again, her large eyes blinking as she looked at Shang Rongrong.
"Sister Rong?"
Shang Rongrong's expression changed, and she quickly pressed her forehead against the car window. "Oh dear, I suddenly feel a bit carsick."
"…"
After all, you're a senior. Can't you fake feeling carsick with a little more effort?
Xia Weiliang straightened her posture again, looking straight ahead. In any case, she would just ignore the person beside her!
Yan Zhi sat behind the two, looking left and right.
The atmosphere was wrong!
"Something you don't understand?"
Xiao Yi finally spoke, his gaze shifting towards the side.
"No."
Xia Weiliang didn't even spare him a glance, her tone listless.
Yan Zhi: !!
Immediately understanding what was happening, he felt an overwhelming urge to confess, like he had discovered something amazing and would burst if he didn't say it!
No, he had to hold back!
Casually turning his head, he saw Brother Chen and Sister Rong sitting on the luxurious sofa bed in the back row…
Both of them were leaning their heads out, as if trying to stick their ears out directly—
Hiss!!
Yan Zhi's body trembled—
No way?
Are you really like this, Brother Chen and Sister Rong?!
The atmosphere in the car became a bit awkward.
Uncle Chen, trying to ease the tension, made small talk. "Little Liang, this car is nice. Did the company provide it? Your company is really good to its artists!"
Xia Weiliang was very respectful of her seniors and answered with genuine sincerity, without any perfunctory tone.
"The car wasn't provided by the company… my agent rented it with her hard-earned money just to save face for me."
There was nothing to hide about this, so Xia Weiliang answered quite frankly.
Hard-earned money?
The driver in the driver's seat also glanced at the rearview mirror. His gaze met the man's in the mirror, and a playful smile touched his lips.
Chu Lie raised an eyebrow slightly and glanced at her.
Perhaps she had a rather immature misunderstanding of the term "hard-earned money."
It only took a few minutes for the car to reach the hotel.
Xia Weiliang politely let Brother Chen and Sister Rong get out first, sitting there with a smile, as if waiting for a "come again soon" remark.
Brother Chen got out of the car and stretched comfortably. "I didn't expect this car's seats to have a massage function. Sitting here all the way has truly refreshed me!"
Shang Rongrong walked over and chuckled lightly. "You have to consider whose vehicle it is."
Brother Chen seemed a bit stunned. "Didn't her agent rent it?"
Shang Rongrong looked at Brother Chen, like he was a naive newcomer, chuckled lightly, and without saying a word, strode into the hotel.
The entertainment industry was like a deep well. She wouldn't say more than she should, and even if something was common knowledge, something everyone knew, it would definitely not come from her mouth.
Next, Yan Zhi and Nuomi also got out.
Xia Weiliang kept her gaze forward, maintaining the silent demeanor she had adopted in the car, and was about to get out of the car door…
But as she passed through the aisle, a long leg lazily stretched out and tripped her—
Xia Weiliang stumbled forward unexpectedly. She abruptly looked up and saw the person sitting there, almost instinctively extending her hands to brace herself against his chest…
Until everything settled.
Xia Weiliang's eyes widened, her body stiffly seated in someone's embrace. From her hips up to her scalp, she didn't dare to move.
"Sister Wei, why are you still…"
Nuomi peeked her head in, only to have her eyes immediately covered by a hand. The next second, the car door was shut with a bang!
"Second Brother, what are you doing? I can't see!!"
Nuomi suppressed the urge to perform a shoulder throw and impatiently pushed his hand away, only to see the driver getting out.
"Huh? Uncle, why are you getting out too?"
The driver stood in front of the car, smiling without saying a word, doing his best to uphold his professional ethics.
"Alright, alright, why so many questions?" Yan Zhi grabbed her and pulled her into the hotel. "I heard the hotel ice cream is good. Want some?"
"No, Sister Wei is still…"
"Don't worry, she's a grown-up, she won't get lost, will she?"
After the car door closed, the atmosphere inside the car was completely at a standstill.
"...I, I didn't do it on purpose."
Sitting directly on the movie emperor's lap, why didn't she just perform self-immolation on the spot?
Xia Weiliang was terrified, fumbling to get up. "I, I'm quite heavy, don't… don't let me hurt you…"
That would be a grave sin. Being dragged out and whipped by Yimi would be considered showing mercy!
