Xia Xi first went to the dinner place with the program crew.
There were two tables in the luxurious private room. One table was for the director, guests and other important people, and the other table was for the staff. The atmosphere was very lively.
Director Li said, "Everyone wait a moment, there are more people coming."
Xia Xi knew who the director was talking about, but she didn't show any surprise. She took a glass of water and drank it slowly.
Someone was surprised. After a quick look, they couldn't see who was missing. "Director Li, stop keeping us in suspense. Who's coming? I've counted and counted, and everyone's here. No one's missing."
Director Li's gaze deliberately paused on Xia Xi for a second or two, then he smiled and shook his head, refusing to say, "You'll know in a moment."
Xia Xi finished a glass of water and waited for a few minutes. Then her phone rang. She took it out and saw a message from Xu Yanfeng. It contained only three simple words: "I'm here."
Since everyone knew about her relationship with Xu Yanfeng, she didn't hide it. She took her cell phone, walked out of the box calmly, and waited outside the elevator.
A moment later, the elevator stopped at this floor and the door slowly opened. Xu Yanfeng was inside. He was dressed simply in a dark blue shirt and black suit pants. He didn't even wear his jacket, which was hanging in his arm.
When he looked up and saw Xia Xi, Xu Yanfeng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you waiting for me here on purpose?"
Xia Xi took a step forward and stretched out her hand towards him: "Isn't this nonsense? Why don't I run out to see the scenery?"
Xu Yanfeng stepped out of the elevator, held her hand and squeezed it hard, unable to hide the smile on his face.
The two returned to the box together, holding hands tightly together. Everyone's eyes were focused on the two tightly clasped hands, and after a few seconds, they looked at their faces.
Director Li was used to seeing things, so he calmly said hello, "Here's Mr. Xu. Please take a seat."
The others finally woke up as if from a dream, and started to move around, greeting him one after another: "Hello, Mr. Xu."
Xu Yanfeng smiled and nodded: "Please sit down, Director Li invited me so kindly, I came here to have a free meal."
Director Li smiled and said, "You're welcome."
Xu Yanfeng's seat was naturally arranged next to Xia Xi. Just as Xia Xi expected, everyone's attention was on her and Xu Yanfeng. The difference was that they didn't ask any questions, probably because they were concerned about Xu Yanfeng's status.
Xia Xi felt relieved and focused on eating.
Director Li toasted Xu Yanfeng and smiled, his eyes invisible. "Speaking of which, I want to sincerely thank Mr. Xu, not only for sponsoring our program, but also for your personal support."
Speaking of this, everyone smiled knowingly. Mr. Xu's appearance on the show did bring a lot of popularity. Until now, his name is still on the hot search list on Weibo and remains at the top.
Xu Yanfeng originally wanted to suggest tea instead of wine, but Xia Xi tilted her head slightly and whispered to him, "Just drink it. It's okay. I'll drive when we get back."
Xu Yanfeng put down his teacup, picked up his wine glass, clinked it with Director Li's, and took a sip.
Director Li looked at Xia Xi again, said a few words of thanks, and was about to clink glasses with her. Xu Yanfeng blocked it, raised his glass again, and clinked it with Director Li's: "She can't drink it, I'll take her place."
As a result, the atmosphere was pushed to another level, and a group of people began to make a fuss, and the questions that they had been reluctant to ask just now all came out.
"Mr. Xu, tell me, who pursued whom between you and Teacher Xia? How long have you been together? When are you getting married? Can we go to the wedding?"
There were too many questions. Xu Yanfeng smiled gently, put down his glass, and answered them one by one: "She pursued me. We have been together for eight or nine years. We are getting married soon. If you want to come, you are welcome."
Xia Xi choked and covered her lips to cough. Why was he still lying to her? They had been together for eight or nine years.
No one at the scene doubted his words. After a few seconds of silence, the atmosphere became even more heated: "Being together for eight or nine years?! How enviable."
Someone got drunk and simply left their seat, stumbling over to Xu Yanfeng: "Mr. Xu, tell me the truth, are you here for Teacher Xia?"
"You could say that." Xu Yanfeng's tone was steady and serious, his eyes fixed on Xia Xi as he spoke. "It's her first time recording a show, so she's a little nervous. I came here to accompany her so she can feel more at ease. So, I'm here to show my face as a representative of the Xu Group. As for the rest, you guys can record it however you want."
This is equivalent to indirectly denying the rumors that he interfered with the program rules.
The man uttered an "Ah!" and glanced at Xia Xi, seemingly incredulous. "Teacher Xia is nervous? How could she be nervous? I can't tell at all. She's completely calm."
Xu Yanfeng smiled faintly: "She just didn't show it."
Xia Xi pretended to lower her head to eat, and secretly pinched him under the table to remind him not to ruin her show.
Some people were still checking Weibo during their meal breaks. Combined with Xu Yanfeng's words, the revelations of those Nanjing University alumni on the Internet were even more vivid. The passionate love during their campus days has continued to this day and is still so sweet. It is so beautiful that it seems unreal, like a fairy tale.
As I was watching, a Weibo post with explosive information popped up, which seemed out of place amid the joyful voices. I looked at it carefully for a while to make sure it was not an illusion.
The user's ID is a string of garbled characters, as if he had just registered.
"Xia Xi has a bad character. She was in two relationships during college and was even caught in bed. I don't know where she got the face to appear on variety shows. She relies on her beauty and academic qualifications to gain fans online. It's only a matter of time before she falls. Pictures speak louder than words! [Picture]"
When I clicked on the picture, it was a photo of a bed. The picture quality was blurry, and it must have been a few years old, but I could still recognize that the woman in it was Xia Xi, and that man... was actually Zhou Du, a big internet celebrity with millions of fans!
The person who saw this Weibo post was Xiao He. The blood in her body seemed to freeze in an instant. She stared at the screen of her mobile phone for a long time and didn't even hear the person next to her talking to her.
