Xia Weiliang was still a little dazed even after the show began.
She turned her head to look at the man sitting beside her. Facing the host's questions, he was calm and composed, responding appropriately, always maintaining a noble and aloof demeanor no matter the time or place, like the pure white snow on a mountain peak, unreachable.
"Weiliang?"
It was only when the host called her for the third time that she snapped back to reality, "Huh?" SBDAN
Xiao Yi also turned to look at her, a hint of a smile gradually appearing in his eyes.
Since it was a live online broadcast, many fans and netizens saw her staring blankly at Xiao Yi. The comment section immediately filled with sounds of "Hahaha," saying, "Another day where Brother Yi's beauty affects my IQ."
Xia Weiliang felt quite awkward. She turned back, straightened her body, and didn't glance at Xiao Yi again.
The host smiled and asked, "Weiliang, were you just looking at Brother Yi?"
As soon as Xia Weiliang heard this, she quickly denied it: "No, I wasn't! I wasn't!"
Although the number of Liang fans was not as massive as in the reborn world, their unique ability for self-deprecation was truly unparalleled!
Seeing this situation, the Liang fans wasted no time!
"Black him! Comrades!"
And so, the Liang fans mobilized, who could compete with them!
"The highest level of telling lies with a straight face is to let them ask whatever they want, but ultimately, I didn't! I wasn't!"
"If not, I'm really curious, does our Empress know this is a live broadcast? Is her brain so mismatched with her mouth?"
"I say, those haters, can you stop being so reserved? Speak your minds, dear!! Pay attention to your roles, you're here to attack, not to spectate! We Liang fans fighting alone are really tired!!"
This move by the Liang fans truly transcended space and dimension. Coming out in such a mighty force, they left no one standing, completely leaving no room for other fans to survive. Indeed, even the air became fresher!
Returning to the live broadcast, the host, with great interest, asked, "There's a question I've always been curious about..."
Before he could finish asking, Xia Weiliang adopted a "I've given up" attitude and gave an international parking gesture for "Don't ask, I understand everything."
"Okay, I'll say it."
The host: "..."
Did he ask anything?!
This time, Xiao Yi no longer bothered with his image management. He simply turned sideways, his gaze towards her filled with amusement.
The entire screen was filled with Liang fans' comments: "Oh my god! Our Empress has grown! She can answer questions in advance!"
"I know this question! It's all about love, love, love! Tell him! Don't be a coward!!"
"Ears in the audience, where are you?!"
In short, this live broadcast turned into the Liang fans' official debut solo stage.
Xia Weiliang slowly said, "You might not believe me if I say it, but the reason I suddenly appeared on your show is because... Brother Yi said he wanted to experience what it's like to ride the coattails of popularity."
Liang fans: ...
They felt the urge to collectively go silent.
"Isn't that a bit much, Empress! How are we supposed to follow up on this? Is there still any room to attack?!"
The host was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Is that true? Brother Yi!"
Xiao Yi, with a slight smile, shrugged, "Whatever she says is what it is."
As soon as he said this, the comment section came back to life.
"You're spoiling her too much, Dad!"
"If you keep being this sweet, it's impolite!"
"Brother Yi, you're more active than a secondary account..."
"I suspect they are openly shoving dog food into my mouth, but I have no evidence... *hiccup*!"
The host, being someone who had seen many big occasions, had an excellent on-the-spot reaction. He immediately pressed further: "Why does Brother Yi take care of our Weiliang so much? I think fans must also be very curious about this question. As someone who is never involved in rumors, Brother Yi has appeared with Weiliang time and time again. Does this have any special meaning?"
The comment section erupted.
"Reject bundling! Reject rumors! Brother Yi stands alone! Won't thank you for taking him away!"
"The host's question is flawed. Who is curious? We fans know everything clearly, not curious at all!"
"How could Brother Yi be related to her? Please don't spread rumors, okay!"
At this point, the Liang fans wouldn't stand for it!
"You say your Brother Yi is riding the coattails of popularity, and you don't want to hear it! Our Weiliang doesn't want to be bundled at all!"
"Heh, I'll just wait for a certain type of grain to be slapped in the face!"
On the live broadcast, Xia Weiliang's expression sharpened, and she quickly clarified: "Everyone has misunderstood. Brother Yi has helped me a lot. If it were really as the media reported, then we should avoid suspicion this time! Instead, we are on the same show, which shows that both sides are very open and have nothing to hide."
Off-site, a passerby commented: "Empress's will to survive this round is very strong. She's a role model of determination despite intellectual disability!"
"The one before, if you want to say our Empress is stupid, just say it directly, no need to be so circuitous, she won't understand—a piece of advice from a seasoned Liang fan."
This comment received countless likes.
Facts proved that self-deprecation to the point where others have nowhere to attack was the awareness of a qualified fan.
The host was noncommittal about Xia Weiliang's overly official answer. He turned his head and asked Xiao Yi with a smile, "Brother Yi, do you have anything you want to say?"
Xia Weiliang looked at Xiao Yi, her gaze fixed on him with unwavering determination, as if saying, "I've paved the road for you, just don't fall off!"
Xiao Yi slowly withdrew his gaze and replied at an extremely leisurely pace, "The host mentioned just now that I've appeared with her so many times... In fact, the number of times we've appeared together is far more than what you see now."
Xia Weiliang's eyes widened in horror: "Demon in front, what kind of creature are you?!"
The host was excited: "Why do I have a feeling that a big scoop is about to break?"
Comment section: "You're not alone!!"
"To be honest, I have a friend who wants to hear the follow-up."
"Regarding appearing together, Brother Yi's words have a deeper meaning! Could there be some unknown little tidbits?"
Afraid that Xiao Yi might say something wrong, Xia Weiliang leaned closer, her eyes fixed on the camera, maintaining a smile. Her lips moved silently, and she mumbled, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Xiao Yi heard her and turned to comfort her with a smile, "It's okay, you don't have to worry about me saying something wrong."
Xia Weiliang: "..."
Betraying her so quickly, do you have any team spirit?!
Xiao Yi's eyes twinkled with amusement as he looked at the host and said, "Recently, she had a news piece that seemed to be very popular. The media published a few of her photos and then took them out of context."
Finally, the crucial point was reached!
The host exclaimed joyfully: "So what? What's the truth? Could it be that Brother Yi knows?"
Xia Weiliang's heart tightened, and she immediately looked at Xiao Yi in panic. What was he going to do?
Xiao Yi's smile was very casual, "As the other party involved in the incident, what do you think? Do I know?"
The host: "?!"
Ahhhh, is he about to reach a highlight of his career?!
The comment section went crazy too. "OMG! OMG! Is he going to confess?!"
"Brother Yi! Have you been enchanted by Xia Weiliang? Think carefully before you speak, don't ruin your career!!"
"To the one who said he would ruin his career, I find it hilarious. After so many years, has Brother Yi only achieved success by keeping himself pure?!"
