"Speak!"
Xia Wei Liang was full of spirit.
Turning back, she looked at Xi En, "En..."
"Refuse."
Xi En was even less polite.
Become sworn siblings?
Not even in her dreams.
Xia Wei Liang was indignant, "Are you guys trying to rebel? Is it that embarrassing to become sworn siblings with me? Even if you're not as good-looking as me, not as smart as me, not as wise as me, have I looked down on you? With such noble personal qualities, it's already good that I haven't asked you for a summary, and now you're hesitating over becoming sworn siblings! My tender heart will be hurt!"
After speaking passionately, she casually grabbed a handful of melon seeds from Zhang Miao Miao's hand.
"When did you roast them?"
"This morning while making breakfast, I was idle and roasted a bag."
"Not bad, not bad, give me some more..."
"Here!"
As Xia Wei Liang cracked melon seeds, she glared at the three of them, "I'm telling you! Our fate is over!"
Mikoy sighed, then said helplessly, "Are you really not understanding or just pretending? Why don't I want to become sworn siblings with you? Because I want to pursue you! I want to be your man, who wants to be your sibling?! This is a great humiliation!"
It wasn't the first time he had said he wanted to pursue Xia Wei Liang, and everyone in the production team knew it.
Before, he loved to cosplay characters, but he realized that no character could express his determination to pursue her! That's why he decided to be himself!
Zhang Miao Miao, a newcomer, widened her eyes in excitement after hearing the confession, "Why do I actually want to ship this?!"
She also really liked Xia Wei Liang, to the point of wanting to possess her exclusively!
As she got to know her better, she realized it wasn't love, but rather worshipping the other person as a goddess! Of course, like many otaku, she believed that it's best for her goddess to be single, and to remain her goddess forever!
However, Mikoy was brave enough, and he had completely earned her respect.
So, Zhang Miao Miao walked over, and without a word, stuffed a handful of melon seeds into his hand, "I support you!"
Mikoy looked at her, then at the blackened roasted melon seeds...
Xia Wei Liang wasn't as excited as she was. She had always seen Mikoy as a younger brother, and a younger brother's affection was probably just at the student level, not to be taken seriously.
So she turned to Xi En again, "Little Mik is being childish, Brother En, you're a gentleman. You're rejecting me in public like this, don't I have any dignity? What about our friendship? Our mentor-disciple bond? Our colleague relationship?"
Xi En glanced at her indifferently and said unhurriedly, "Why can't I pursue you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent.
Xiao Shuai, carrying the camera, started to sweat. Since the start of this journey, he had been asking himself the same question every day: Is this something I can film? Is this something this machine can handle?!
Xin Hong turned to look at him with a discerning gaze between men.
Mikoy also eyed him with a triumphant smile that said, "So, you've finally revealed your true colors."
But apart from these two "colleagues," everyone else didn't take it seriously. Especially Xia Wei Liang, who was about to applaud him, "Brother En, your variety show sense has improved by leaps and bounds! No wonder you don't read scripts or books anymore, and just hold your phone to watch videos... You've been secretly studying, haven't you?"
Zhang Miao Miao also came back to her senses, "That's right, that's right! I can testify! Brother En watches variety shows in his free time, and they're all Wei Liang's variety shows!"
As soon as she said that, Mikoy and Xin Hong's expressions stiffened, their eyes clearly saying: We knew this guy had ulterior motives long ago!
But Xia Wei Liang was different. She only saw competition, competition between colleagues.
"Brother En, tell me honestly, are you planning to break into variety shows in the second half of the year?"
Xi En looked at her with a helpless expression, "Is this all you can see?"
"Otherwise? You've been stealing skills so obviously, aren't you letting me point it out?" Xia Wei Liang, as if she had just seen through him, said with heartache, "You are an old artist. Why are you competing with me for traffic? It's not easy for me to gain popularity by participating in variety shows, both indoors and outdoors!"
Xi En narrowed his eyes, confirming that this woman was not joking, and immediately felt annoyed by talking to her any longer.
"Alright, stop annoying me."
"Am I annoying you? You're the one who embarrassed me, I'm the one who should be angry! I'll ask you one thing today, do you want to become sworn siblings?"
"No! You... just anger me to death!"
"Wait, don't go! Old Xi, wait a moment... I can't catch up to you."
The people behind them were amused. Only Xiao Shuai, who was using a telephoto lens, probably knew best whether Brother En was telling the truth or not.
Honestly, even if Xi En truly liked Niang Niang, it wouldn't be surprising.
A beautiful woman attracts a gentleman, and what's more, Niang Niang is beautiful and has a likable personality, so it's natural for someone to like her.
But the problem was, Brother En, a respected film emperor, was he no longer avoiding the camera?
As an old TV person, Xiao Shuai dared to swear by his professional skills that once this episode aired, Brother En and Niang Niang would definitely be trending topics!
He wondered what the film emperor would think after seeing it.
Oh my, he was actually a little excited!
