Chapter 449: Not Playing the Couple
“You saved his life?” Qiao Yanjue looked at Xia Xibei with an expressionless face, “When did you save him?”
Facing his deep gaze, Xia Xibei could not help but feel a little weak in the heart.
“Saving his life… That may be an overstatement. I only did him a small favor.”
“A small favor?” Qiao Yanjue was still expressionless. “Why would he say that if it was just a small favor?”
Nie Zehai made a post expressing his gratitude to Zhou Chunheng and Yin Jiaojiao, posting a separate message saying that Xia Xibei was his lifesaver.
It was not a casual thing to say.
Thinking about what she did, Xia Xibei’s eyes wandered a bit.
“Actually, although I helped him, I also gained a lot of benefits. So, we were helping each other.”
“What benefits?”
“He helped me get an audition before, and this time he helped me get a variety show.”
“A variety show?” Qiao Yanjue frowned.
“Right,” Xia Xibei nodded, “And through this whole thing, my popularity has gone up a lot more.”
She joked, “So, I’m not losing out from this publicity.”
“Aren’t you afraid that they’ll ship you and him as a couple?”
Thinking about what the fans were saying online, the air pressure around Qiao Yanjue seemed to drop a few points.
Because Nie Zehai thanked Xia Xibei so formally, the fans got excited once again.
Xia Xibei was good-looking. She had top looks even in the entertainment industry, where there were many beautiful people, so she was a good match for Nie Zehai!
And when Nie Zehai had this crisis, she unhesitatingly stood by his side to support him. Wasn’t this true love?!
If it was before the crisis, there must be a lot of people accusing Xia Xibei of kissing up.
But after this incident, fans were much more tolerant of her.
There were also fans saying that the Haibei Couple pairing was the sweetest!
All of these comments made the veins on Qiao Yanjue’s forehead jump.
The more time he spent with Xia Xibei, the clearer he understood that she preferred a soft touch to a hard one.
Therefore, he could only hold back the resentment in his heart and tolerate it.
“Ship us as a couple?”
Xia Xibei looked at Qiao Yanjue in surprise. She didn’t expect him to be so trendy and to know this online slang!
However, she wasn’t worried.
“Don’t worry, this won’t work.”
“Why not?”
“They’re just saying it for fun right now. They just like making people into couples, even if the matches are random. We will not do anything to hype it, so there is no cooperation. After a while, when Brother Hai has other matches, this trend will naturally pass.”
Nie Zehai also considered this when he uploaded the post.
After all, he wasn’t just anyone. Anything could be overly interpreted by fans.
If Xia Xibei was connected to Nie Zehai too early, it wouldn’t be good for her development.
However, as long as they didn’t hype it afterwards and the paparazzi diddn’t capture their interactions, the buzz would slowly fade away.
“Is that so?”
Hearing her say that, Qiao Yanjue’s face finally relaxed a little. “It would be bad for your development if you were linked with other people too early.”
Xia Xibei looked at him in surprise, “I didn’t expect you to know so much about this!”
Qiao Yanjue was amused by her. “Do you think I’m old-fashioned? I know how to surf the internet too!”
Although he did not follow celebrities, that did not mean that he didn’t know anything. Besides, he owned an entertainment company!
“Yes, yes, yes! You are the trendiest!” Xia Xibei nodded her head.
That being said, the first thing Qiao Yanjue did when he went back was have someone squash talk of the Haibei Couple.
