Chapter 170: Chapter 170 sorry for not speaking up for you in the first place

By the time Chen Xiangxiang finally turned the tables and won the championship, the relationship between the two of them was already extraordinary. They were both teachers and friends.

Yan Xi did not think that Chen Xiangxiang was qualified to be a teacher and a friend. She also did not believe that things would develop as described in the novel.

However, there was still a string in her heart that was tensed up. It was only after Xu Meikai had said those words that she finally completely let go.

“Actually, I had a dream before I was discharged from the hospital…”Yan XI looked up and smiled at Xie Changze. In the past, she did not want to say it because she was used to shouldering all the problems on her own.

However, if that person was Xie changze, she seemed to be very willing to share her feelings with him.

“I’ll talk to you about it when I’m free in the future. I want you to help me analyze it.”

Chief Xie seemed to understand the importance of this trust. His obsidian-like eyes looked solemnly at Yan XI. “Okay.”

Yan XI smiled and said, “Alright, let’s take advantage of the break time to go out for a walk. I’ve been to Imperial City a few times, but I haven’t been around to take a look…”

This happiness did not last for long. After just a few steps, they saw someone standing at the corner of the corridor.

Fortunately, the other contestants had left to rest, so their presence was not particularly eye-catching.

“Yan Yan.”

Huo Ziang looked at Yan XI with a deep gaze, then at Xie changze, who was beside her. There was a hidden hostility in his eyes.

“Ziang.”Yan Xi stopped walking. The bright smile on her face instantly disappeared, replaced by the familiar warmth and calmness.

Huo Ziang’s breathing slowed, and a hint of sadness flashed across his eyes.

“Can I talk to You Alone?”

His manager and assistant were standing not far away, obviously ready to keep watch.

Yan Xi shook her head. “No need. Let’s talk here. Xie Zhangze, wait for me.”

Xie Zhangze had no intention of leaving. Since Yan XI had said so, it was even more impossible for him to leave. No matter how obvious the Big Star’s hint was, he did not want to respond.

“Okay, I’ll wait for you.”His voice was gentle and warm. It was not the usual indifference to others, nor was it the sharp edge of the competition.

It carried with it an unwavering strength that was neither servile nor overbearing.

However, Huo Ziang really felt that he had been provoked. He had been offended by an ordinary high school student.

“Last night, I finished filming too late. When I rushed to the hotel, it was already past midnight… I thought you were probably asleep, so I didn’t go to Say Hello.”Huo Ziang paused, “Yan Yan, you’re not feeling well, so you should pay more attention. The Logistics Director of the program team looks at People’s dishes. I’m worried about you. Why Don’t you have lunch with me? You can also recognize the program team.”

Yan Xi listened to him quietly. “Wait, how did you know that the logistics director looks at People’s dishes?”

Huo Ziang paused, pursed his lips, and did not speak.

This was hard to explain. Of course, he knew this because Chen Xiangxiang had a problem with the bathroom shower last night.

Chen Xiangxiang explained that it was because she had asked the logistics director not to disturb Yan Xi’s rest and asked if he could help pay for Yan Xi’s room for another night. This caused the logistics director to have a problem with her and deliberately make things difficult for her.

He was worried that the logistics director would also vent his anger on Yan XI. After all, it was not uncommon for people in the entertainment industry to worship the high and trample on the low.

If he revealed that they were old friends, those small figures would probably not dare to neglect Yan XI on account of him.

However, although he asked himself that he was innocent with Chen Xiangxiang, he did not want to let Yan Xi have any misunderstandings.

“I heard that he’s a little petty and has a bad reputation.”Huo Zi’ang avoided Yan XI’s clear and calm gaze.

Yan XI said, “Oh, but I think it’s okay. “After all, it’s a science competition program. I don’t want to be given special treatment. I just want to be treated the same as the other contestants. “You know, after all, there was a rumor that the program was unfair.”

Huo Zi’ang’s expression was a little frozen.

“Yan Yan, I…”His voice was a little strained. “I’m sorry, I didn’t understand the situation on stage today, so I didn’t stand up for you at the first opportunity…”

He had already displeased the company and his agent by lowering the price to participate in this variety show.

When the incident happened, his agent was below the stage. He didn’t react at first, but when he wanted to interject, he was pulled back by his agent.

It was obviously irrational to take sides without knowing the truth, and it did not fit his character of focusing on his career.

However, Could Yan XI understand all this? Huo Ziang did not know how to explain it.

Yan Xi sighed softly in her heart, but she smiled and said, “It’s okay. It was useless for you to stand up. You Came So late last night and did not know anything. Even if you wanted to speak up for me, it would not be convincing.”

She always felt guilty towards Huo Ziang.

She really didn’t want him to stand up because it was meaningless.

She didn’t want to owe him any more.

The smile on her face was calm and gentle. Huo Ziang was relieved but also a little depressed.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”Yan XI’s gaze swept across the corridor. There was a figure there that swayed, as if afraid that she wouldn’t be able to see it.

Yan Xi turned her head and smiled as she waved at Huo Zi’ang and walked towards Xie Changze.

Huo Zi’ang was about to say something when his manager stopped him. “Zi’ang, wait!”

Huo Zi’ang stopped and frowned. His tone was impatient. “What is it?”

His manager said, “Come over here for a moment. Chen Xiangxiang doesn’t seem right…”

Chen Xiangxiang stood by the fire escape at the stairs and looked up at Huo Ziang. She tried to force a smile on her face. “I’m sorry to interrupt your conversation with sister Yan Yan, I…”

She wanted to walk past Huo Ziang and leave, but Huo Ziang suddenly grabbed her wrist.

“Why Are You So Pale?”His warm and dry hand touched Chen Xiangxiang’s forehead. “You have a fever!”

—

There was a commotion at the stairway.

Yan Xi’s gaze was calm. She did not even turn her head. She pulled chief Xie and continued walking forward.

Chief Xie paused for a moment. His slender eyes lowered slightly. His tone was cold. “It’s Chen Xiangxiang. She must have caught a cold and a fever. There’s something wrong with her condition today.”

Yan XI: “Yes, I know.”

Her tone was casual.

Xie Chang pulled her to a stop and stared at her with his dark eyes, “Mo Fangfei doesn’t know Gao Tianlang at all. She doesn’t even know the existence of Gao Tianlang. The only thing she knows about Gao Tianlang is that both of them know Chen Xiangxiang.”

Yan XI nodded. “I know too.”

The logic behind this matter could be understood with a little thought.

Mo Fangfei kept saying that a contestant had reported it to her, but Gao Tianlang had been eliminated in the preliminary round. He hadn’t even come this time.

The other party had written such a small essay to vent their personal anger, and Chen Xiangxiang had definitely revealed the Yan corporation’s name.

No, to be precise, if Gao Tianlang had such suspicions, Chen Xiangxiang’s brainwashing and adding fuel to the fire was inevitable.
