"You..."
Su Yuxi seemed completely surprised that she admitted it so readily.
"Weiliang, you, you really with him..."
"Mm-hmm~"
Xia Weiliang touched her nose awkwardly, "I don't know how it happened this time... it just turned out this way."
Seeing the disappointment in his eyes, Xia Weiliang immediately averted her gaze. "Cough! You know he's the Film Emperor, so many people want to latch onto him, but he's given both his legs to me. What am I supposed to do but hold on? If I don't take advantage of a good deal, that wouldn't be my style!"
"Is that so~"
Su Yuxi forced a smile. "I'm sorry, I lost my composure."
"It's okay, it's okay, I know you care about me, ha, we're all friends!"
Xia Weiliang, as always, was forthright, waving her hand dismissively.
Perhaps he was overthinking it, but she no longer patted his shoulder and called him "big brother" like before. Instead, she stood there properly, smiling as amicably as she could.
Su Yuxi lowered his eyes, his disappointment evident. "It's getting late, I should be going back."
"Okay, go home early, so your mom doesn't worry."
Xia Weiliang thought of something and quickly added, "Oh, right, I'll be busy with our Director Du's talent show for the next few days, so I might not be able to make it to acting class."
Su Yuxi looked at her and gave a bitter smile, saying softly, "Weiliang, you don't have to avoid me so obviously."
"Oh, dear! No! I'm not avoiding you! Really not!"
"I know your personality very well." He smiled at her, saying gently, "You seem carefree, but actually, no one is more considerate than you."
The two met during the ancient costume drama "The Palace Lord's Mess," where Xia Weiliang, though beautiful, had truly terrible acting. No one knew how she got the leading role!
Therefore, Su Yuxi's initial impression of her wasn't very good.
It wasn't until later, when their characters unexpectedly meshed well, that he found himself drawn into the scene as he watched her portray a charming and playfully scolding character.
Once he was in, it was hard to get out.
It was the first time Xia Weiliang had ever heard someone praise her for being considerate. It felt novel.
Behind the billboard, the man's previously upward-curving lips instantly fell.
Yan Zhi found it excruciatingly painful!
Audiences weren't interested in these contrived misunderstandings anymore!
What was popular now was the "Do you love me? If you love me, kiss me and shut up!" type of romance. For couples like Niang Niang and Yi Ge, who were still being so hesitant after hundreds of chapters, audiences would throw rotten eggs at them!
And now, Su Yuxi had come to add to the trouble, not even giving the audience time to get their eggs ready to throw!
Su Yuxi's agent had come to pick him up.
He got into the car and gave a gentle smile to the person outside. "Tonight, I didn't hear anything."
This statement...
Xia Weiliang was a bit confused.
Did he mean he would pretend not to know about her holding onto the Film Emperor's legs?
Or did he mean he didn't care even if he knew, and his feelings remained unchanged?
Tsk tsk tsk, her unbearable, damn charm!
Just as she finished her thought and turned around, she suddenly froze—
Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao...
Her movements were faster than her thoughts. Without a word, she rushed forward, pulled him over, and hid behind the billboard.
"Why are you here?"
"No, shouldn't you be in An County?"
"Is the filming finished? If it's not, what are you doing out here acting like a show-off!"
"Right, when did you arrive?"
She fired off several questions, her little mouth chattering like a machine gun.
The pent-up frustration in her chest miraculously vanished at this moment.
Xiao Yi suddenly narrowed his dark eyes, leaned closer, grabbed her chin, and kissed her lips...
"Mmm—"
Xia Weiliang's mind went blank again, a scattered, drifting, swaying blankness.
Not far away, Yan Zhi wore a doting smile.
This speed, as expected of his Yi Ge!
Suddenly thinking of something, he quickly raised his hand to cover Da Yang's eyes. "Ai Da Fan, your channel is wrong!"
Without him needing to say anything, Da Yang was already leaning against the side, feeling melancholic.
After a long while, Xiao Yi finally released her.
Xia Weiliang lowered her head. Even though she knew she was truly timid now, she preferred to remain so rather than look up at him.
Her heart pounded, thumping so hard she felt it would leap out in the next second!
Oh my god!
Is this what falling in love feels like???
It shouldn't be, could her iron-clad willpower agree to this?
Xiao Yi held her chin and shook it from side to side, his expression quite displeased. "Being this beautiful is just a hassle, you never make things easy for me."
Xia Weiliang blinked. "You... you saw?"
His handsome face suddenly came closer. "So, you met another man behind my back... are you trying to cheat?"
"No, no, no, absolutely not! Definitely not!"
Xia Weiliang waved her hands frantically, as if afraid he wouldn't believe her. She even raised her hand to swear, "With Dad's upright and noble character, would he be a fence-sitter?"
Xiao Yi stared at her and naturally slung his arm around her waist.
Her waist was truly incredibly slender, fitting easily into one of his arms. He instinctively pulled her closer, and Xia Weiliang's face flushed scarlet again!
"You, you, you... just talk, don't keep touching and moving! There are cameras everywhere, it's not good if people see!"
After speaking, she hurriedly fumbled to put his mask back on.
"Please, you're Xiao Yi! If your fans find out you ran all the way from the film base in the middle of the night to see me, they'd be lucky to skin me only three layers deep!"
He let her put the mask on properly and then tiptoed to lower the brim of his hat. He chuckled, "Why weren't you this nervous when you met Su Yuxi just now?"
"How can that be the same? He and I are completely innocent. What am I afraid of? Even if we stood in the middle of the road and chatted, we'd be upright and proper!"
"Oh? So, with me, it's not innocent?"
Xia Weiliang was amused by him. "About this matter of whether you and I are innocent, do you have any idea?"
Xiao Yi nodded, his face unblushing and his breathing steady. "No idea."
"Ha! The Film Emperor is the Film Emperor, that acting is top-notch!" Xia Weiliang almost wanted to give him a pause and applaud.
"Right, why did you suddenly come looking for me?"
Perhaps because she had been standing for a long time and was wearing slippers, she kept shifting her position. It was early autumn, and the wind was cool. She couldn't help but hug herself tighter.
A soft sigh sounded beside her.
Then, the man took off his coat, draped it over her, and bent down to zip it up for her.
"You were so eager to come out and see him? You even forgot to change your shoes?"
Xia Weiliang looked at him, and a sweet feeling uncontrollably welled up in her heart.
But soon, another rational little voice in her mind popped out, bursting one pink bubble after another floating in her heart, shouting, "I'll make you float! I'll make you float!"
Seeing her slippers, he directly sat down and pulled her onto his lap. "Are you still cold?" Su Dan Novel Network
Xia Weiliang truly didn't know how to sit or stand anymore. She sat up as straight as possible, her head held high. "N-n-not cold!"
