Jingjing herself said that not only was she completely fine, but she also became a huge fan and found herself an idol.
"Wow, amazing! Absolutely amazing! Mr. Xia! No, Teacher Xia! Your reaction was so fast! I don't think I saw anything at first, but by the time I came to my senses, you had already caught the lamp!"
Gu Miaomiao reluctantly helped her outgoing friend to her feet, looking at Xia Zhiyi with a mixture of embarrassment and gratitude. " Mr. Xia, thank you."
If Xia Zhiyi hadn't acted just now, and that lamp had actually fallen, even if it hadn't hit anyone, given the material of the chandelier, there was a very high probability that it would have injured nearby people when it shattered.
The three of them were the closest to the people.
Fortunately, Xia Zhiyi reacted quickly and made the right choice immediately, using a cloth to cover the entire chandelier. Even if she didn't catch it, there was no splash damage.
Gu Miaomiao's heart was still beating a little unsteadily. She felt relieved but couldn't help muttering to herself, "Am I just having a lot of bad luck lately? It turns out my prediction that I'd be safe as long as I didn't leave the school was just a wild Xia Zhiyi, unreliable, right? If it weren't for my boss Xia Zhiyi being there today, wouldn't my friend have gotten hurt too?"
Gu Miaomiao was starting to wonder if she should spend some time alone. It would be one thing if it were just her bad luck, she could just bear it and it would pass, but now it was involving other people.
Xia Zhiyi also noticed the slight guilt in Gu Miaomiao's expression, as if she had linked the accident to herself. After a moment's thought, she decided not to mention that she had also been having a lot of bad luck lately.
While saying it aloud might relieve Gu Miaomiao's pressure, there's also the possibility that Gu Miaomiao might think it's because of Xia Zhiyi's contact with her.
Since it wasn't a big deal, Xia Zhiyi simply didn't bring it up.
As for this accident...
Xia Zhiyi smiled and said, "It's nothing, just a small matter."
"However, it seems your friend just twisted her ankle a bit. I know a little massage; would you like me to help her adjust it?"
Gu Miaomiao was slightly taken aback and looked at her friend Jingjing.
Jingjing was also taken aback upon hearing this, and stammered, "Huh? In that situation just now, Teacher Xia actually noticed me?"
Xia Zhiyi smiled and shrugged, "You could say it's a habit? After all, I practice martial arts, so being able to see and hear everything around me is quite important."
Gu Miaomiao and Jingjing interpreted it as Xia Zhiyi needing to pay attention to these things when sparring with others, and didn't think much of it.
but...
"They're really amazing," they both thought to themselves.
Finally, Xia Zhiyi comforted the equally frightened shop owner with a few words, smiled and accepted the expensive bag of coffee beans the shop owner gave her, and then helped the little girl push her ankle back in place, thus ending her meeting with Gu Miaomiao.
"Well then, I'll be going now. We'll keep in touch online if there are any plans later." Xia Zhiyi held up her phone, waved at Gu Miaomiao, and said with a smile.
Gu Miaomiao nodded quickly. "Okay, okay."
Watching Xia Zhiyi walk away from the street until she was out of sight, Gu Miaomiao turned to her friend and asked with a hint of worry, " Jingjing, is your foot really alright? Should we go to the infirmary to get it checked out?"
Jingjing waved her hand Jingjing and said, "It's nothing, I can count my own feet. But you, you're so lucky. Just thinking about working for Teacher Xia in the future makes me suddenly jealous."
" Miaomiao, you have to keep it up! From now on, I'll be counting on you for all of Teacher Xia's merchandise!"
Seeing her friend still full of energy and seemingly unaffected by the earlier fright, Gu Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief. She chuckled at her friend's words, "What are you saying? My relationship with Mr. Xia is just a private collaboration now. Besides, I'm being invested in by Mr. Xia; I'm not directly working for Mr. Xia, so we might not have much contact."
Jingjing: "But you have his contact information."
Jingjing: "Damn it, I didn't ask for Teacher Xia's contact information before, and I suddenly became a fan of Teacher Xia, but now I can't ask Teacher Xia for her contact information even more."
"Disconnecting from fans is unacceptable behavior, utterly unacceptable!"
Gu Miaomiao: "You've become a fan of him already? Didn't you say before that Xia Zhiyi doesn't even have a debut work and can't be considered a full-fledged artist?"
Jingjing: "That was before!"
"Why doesn't our Teacher Xia have any debut works? Variety show appearances are still works! Teacher Xia performed exceptionally well in ' Incredible Life '!"
"Oh, you reminded me. I need to go back and watch that variety show again, and also watch some of Teacher Xia's cuts."
"I used to think that Teacher Xia was quite capable, but it had nothing to do with me. Now I realize that my judgment was really lacking; I didn't even recognize a gem in the rough!"
Gu Miaomiao: "... Whatever makes you happy."
Jingjing felt something was off and looked at her. "Don't you think Teacher Xia was super handsome just now?! That was the standard hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress trope! I almost fell for him! Luckily, I'm not into the 'puppy dog' thing, so I managed to control myself!"
Gu Miaomiao smiled wryly, "If you're talking about heroes rescuing damsels in distress, I've had several different types of people come to my rescue these past few days."
Simply put, she had several accidents.
Although the injuries were all minor, and she would probably only suffer minor injuries even without anyone coming to her rescue, Gu Miaomiao became somewhat numb to them after they happened so many times.
She even heard people on the school wall asking if the world was really scientific, and how someone could have so many unexpected accidents over the next few days.
Not only did accidents happen, but Gu Miaomiao also managed to escape danger every time, and the final result...
Well, it's to a rather strange degree.
Thinking about her experiences recently, Gu Miaomiao couldn't help but rub her temples, suddenly feeling a bit tired. "Let's go, I need to go back to my dorm and put this contract away."
Before anything goes wrong, quickly put away the important things, lest she be unlucky enough to bump into something and ruin the contract.
Jingjing: "Okay."

On the other hand, Xia Zhiyi's journey to the appointment was not smooth, but on the way back, perhaps because the matter was already settled, nothing happened.
This left Xia Zhiyi, who was prepared to deal with any unexpected situation and had deliberately chosen to travel through secluded areas using her Qinggong- footed skills instead of taking a car, feeling slightly disappointed.
He wanted to see what other tricks it might have up its sleeve.
" A-Yi, you're back." Fu Chi came out of the kitchen with a cup in his hand and saw Xia Zhiyi enter the room. Without hesitation, he walked straight towards her.
Xia Zhiyi held up the file folder in her hand, waved it at him, and said with a smile, "Yes, things went very smoothly."
