Ming Taotao noticed that Xia Zhiyi's expression was a bit off, and quickly waved her hand to explain, "Ah, it seems I misunderstood. But what you just said also seemed unlikely to me. I was just a little curious... Sorry."
He was afraid that Xia Zhiyi would be unhappy about this.
Xia Zhiyi shook her head. "No, it's a friend I met at school, she's quite talkative."
Ming Taotao nodded in understanding. "That's true, President Fu so busy, this time doesn't suit him either."
After saying that, Ming Taotao covered her mouth.
Xia Zhiyi: "... Sister Taotao Tao, this wasn't a big deal, but your reaction makes it seem like I have something to hide."
Ming Taotao: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I just felt that what I said might have caused some misunderstanding."
Xia Zhiyi somewhat amusing. Just then, the car pulled into the parking lot, and the two got out.
"Okay, actually, the reason I asked that was because I only ever saw you talking on the phone with President Fu for such a long time; you don't seem to make phone calls much normally." Ming Taotao stuck out her tongue, explaining her behavior, "But then you mentioned the student council and stuff like that, which I found a bit strange."
Actually, it was only Ming Taotao had gotten along well with Xia Zhiyi recently that she dared to ask so directly. Otherwise, even if Ming Taotao had heard something, she would have definitely pretended that she hadn't heard anything at all.
However, Xia Zhiyi's lack of avoidance in itself indicates that he did not think Ming Taotao should not hear these contents.
Xia Zhiyi recalled what she had just said and nodded, "Yes, it's a senior I had some issues with before. Something happened to him today."
After briefly explaining Wang Su's situation, Xia Zhiyi looked at Ming Taotao and said, "Although I think it's just a small matter, and he brought it on himself, just in case, you should still tell Sister Chen about it later."
Ming Taotao also felt that this was not a big deal. Although she had heard some Xia Zhiyi.
Should we tell Sister Chen?
Xia Zhiyi: "Well, that person... has a bad temper. I'm not sure if he'll blame me for this later."
So just in case, I told Xu Chen to let me know, just to be on the safe side.
Although Ming Taotao didn't quite understand, she still agreed and planned to tell Xu Chen about it when Xia Zhiyi started filming.
Xia Zhiyi's reunion with Xu Zixu did not go smoothly.
He and Ming Taotao arrived at the hotel where Xu Zixu was staying at the agreed time, but they almost bumped into a group of people when they were leaving the parking lot.
The group was centered around a young woman wearing sunglasses and a fisherman's hat, completely obscuring her face. Leading the way was a middle-aged woman with a ponytail and an impatient expression. Surrounding her were several bodyguards in black suits. As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, they walked aggressively towards Xia Zhiyi's location.
This wasn't a big deal. Xia Zhiyi tell that these people were in a hurry to leave, and the hotel's underground parking lot was quite large. The space wouldn't put them in a situation where they would inevitably bump into each other. He just needed to give way a little.
Xia Zhiyi avoided him, but the middle-aged woman who was clearing the way frowned when she saw him.
Then, Xia Zhiyi was stopped by the middle-aged woman. "What's your name?"
Xia Zhiyi: "?"
Ming Taotao followed beside Xia Zhiyi, instinctively wanting to step forward, but Xia Zhiyi blocked her behind with one hand.
Xia Zhiyi tilted her head slightly, looking at the somewhat harsh-looking middle-aged woman in front of her. After searching her memory without success, she spoke in a calm tone, "May I ask what you need?"
His attitude was quite polite and courteous.
However, the middle-aged woman did not soften her stance at all; her brows furrowed even more. "You were just taking pictures with your phone, weren't you? Hand over your phone and delete the photos. Do you know that you're violating our artist's right to privacy?"
As she spoke, the middle-aged woman's eyes flashed with blatant disgust. "You're a sasaeng fan, aren't you? You're not bad-looking, and you don't look very old. Do you know what you're doing is illegal? Xingxing doesn't like fans like you either. You'd be better off buying more of Xingxing's albums..."
Xia Zhiyi: "..."
Xia Zhiyi silent.
He was indeed holding his phone, but he was replying to Fu Chi's message; he didn't raise it at all. How could he be taking pictures without his consent?
Besides, he didn't even glance at the woman surrounded by bodyguards; he didn't even recognize her. What was he trying to secretly photograph?
Xia Zhiyi: "I didn't take any photos secretly."
However, the middle-aged woman didn't believe her. Seeing that Xia Zhiyi wasn't cooperating, she turned around and called someone over to try and snatch Xia Zhiyi's phone.
Xia Zhiyi:...
He was truly speechless.
Ming Taotao was speechless and shouted, "You're being unreasonable! We were just walking along the street, doing nothing, and you immediately start accusing us of being sasaeng fans or taking photos without our consent. What, does everyone you meet become your fan?"
"We already told you it wasn't a secret filming. We didn't even raise our phones. How could it be a secret filming when we took it with the phone at eye level? There's a limit to paranoia, isn't there?"
She was genuinely angry. After all, the other person's words and actions were impolite, even carrying a hint of belittling and contempt. Anyone would be angry after seeing that.
As for the bodyguard who strode over to attack... Ming Taotao wasn't worried at all.
She now has a very clear understanding of her artist's fighting ability—most people can't beat her Teacher Xia!
So when Xia Zhiyi easily took someone down, Ming Taotao was the most shocked person on the field.
The middle-aged woman who had tried to achieve her goal through violence was completely stunned.
At this moment, Xia Zhiyi glanced at the woman who had been standing still playing on her phone since the beginning, seemingly completely oblivious to the situation unfolding here.
From the exchange just now, it's clear that this woman is an artist with a certain level of fame; otherwise, this middle-aged woman, who is either the other party's manager or assistant, wouldn't be so confident.
However, this is not a reason for them to casually label Xia Zhiyi.
Xia Zhiyi: "I originally thought that such a small misunderstanding could be resolved by talking it out between the two parties."
The gentle smile that had been on the boy's face vanished completely, replaced by a cold gaze as he looked at the people before him. "But it seems you don't really want to resolve this matter properly."

"Where's Teacher Xia? Didn't she say she was already in the parking lot ten minutes ago? Why haven't we seen her yet?" Xu Zixu asked his assistant.
The assistant glanced at the time, puzzled. "That's right, Teacher Xia did message me ten minutes ago, saying she'd be up soon. Sister Zixu, look, the chat history shows the time."
Xu Zixu: "Hey? Where is that person?"
At this moment, Xu Zixu's agent rushed in, his expression quite strange. " Zixu, Teacher Xia is fighting with Lou Wangxing."
Xu Zixu:?
