“It's fine wherever we stay,” Li Yao said softly to her.
“Our schedules will mostly overlap over the next few days. He Yong said that appearing together in front of the media will generate more buzz...”
“Did the Great Holy Empress Zetian contact you again?” Qin Wei paused for a moment, “I mean, did her mom contact you again?”
Li Yao nodded. Before he could say anything, the elevator doors opened.
Qin Wei walked over and saw a tall, slender woman wearing a crisp flight suit stepping out of the elevator.
Qin Wei instinctively hid behind Qiao Sixiao, while pulling Li Yao's sleeve to get him to stand in front of her.
Qiao Sixiao: “?”
Li Yao recognized the woman: “Instructor, you're still here?”
It turned out to be Song Huan. They had assumed she had left already, but she was still here.
Song Huan nodded and looked towards Qin Wei: “Done with everything? I booked an expert outpatient appointment for you at the Southwest Military General Hospital. I'll drive you over.”
“No need! I still have a schedule. You go do your thing and stay away from me...”
Qiao Sixiao was the only confused one. She looked the woman up and down, having no impression of meeting her before.
Wait...Li Yao called her "Instructor," so she must be...
"That dog instructor?"
"That dog instructor???"
There was a hint of surprise in Song Huan's eyes as she sized up the woman in front of her. Qiao Sixiao.
"Miss Qiao, pleased to meet you, I'm Song Huan."
Song Huan greeted Qiao Sixiao very enthusiastically, even taking the initiative to shake her hand:
"I've seen your work, I really like you. I'm happy to meet you today."
Song Huan's tone was completely different from her usual one!
Although still unclear about the situation, Qiao Sixiao responded in her usual friendly way when meeting fans: "Thank you."
Qin Wei couldn't believe her own ears and stuck her head out:
"What do you like about her?"
Song Huan thought about it seriously:
"Her looks, temperament, acting."
Qin Wei stepped forward, standing side by side with Qiao Sixiao. She pointed at her own face, then poked Qiao Sixiao's face:
"Aren't we the same style? Why do you like her but torture me to death?"
Qiao Sixiao pushed her hand away:
"Your point of comparison is so weird..."
Figuring there was no use arguing with Qin Wei, she said to Song Huan:
"I don't know the relationship between you two, but we do have a schedule now. Qin Wei's diagnosis came out, her agent said there were no signs of fractures, so she doesn't need to go to the hospital for now. If there's nothing else, we'll get going first."
Qiao Sixiao was very polite in her words and tone, but there was no room for discussion—she was telling the other party:
"Don't worry about this, I'm leaving now."
Song Huan hesitated for a moment, then took out a small notebook she used for casual note-taking from her pocket:
"Alright then, as long as she's fine. Um...Miss Qiao, could I get an autograph?"
Qin Wei: ".............................."
Qiao Sixiao took the notebook and swiftly signed her name.
Have to go back and see that teammate, otherwise he always complains that the vice captain doesn't care about him.
As soon as Song Huan got the notebook back, she turned and left. Qin Wei and company also got into the elevator to go downstairs.
Inside the elevator, Qin Wei silently stood in the corner, quiet as a dog.
"Didn't you say you were lying in the infirmary?"
Qiao Sixiao spoke without directly naming anyone, but they understood who it was about.
"Instructor Song dislocated my arm during training, causing me to miss the earliest flight. To eliminate her guilty conscience and make it up to me, she gave me a ride here while carrying out her mission. The director said I came too late to go on stage, so it seems she got the regiment leaders to explain the situation to the TV station leadership, and only then did the director let me on. Then you know the rest..."
Qin Wei spoke extremely quickly, confessing everything:
"Of course, I didn't know she was still here, nor that she would bother you again. It's so embarrassing, I apologize on her behalf."
Qiao Sixiao had an indifferent look:
"It's normal for her to like me, fans are like that. Can't say she bothered me either, mainly because my charm is too great..."
Qin Wei: "......"
...
When they came out of the elevator, the first floor lobby was still quite lively. Many artists were also coming out of other elevators and walking from the lobby to the exit, and the shouts of fans waiting outside the door could be heard.
Today was very lively outside the venue, fans of many celebrities were present.
"Should I leave first, then you leave after?"
Qin Wei asked her.
"Either is fine, actually leaving together isn't a problem either."
Qiao Sixiao looked around the lobby and said many artists had already left while talking, everyone was greeting the fans at the exit without lingering, hurriedly going to the celebration banquet.
"That's true too."
The two naturally walked out, one after the other.
The fans of the two very consciously formed two columns, leaving a path open in the middle. Looking at what they held in their hands, it was easy to distinguish that the column on the left standing were all Qin Wei’s fans, while the column on the right were Qiao Sixiao’s fans.
After <Against the Wind> ended, one returned to film the drama while the other went to military training, so opportunities for fans to see them weren’t many. Being able to catch them today, even this late, they were still willing to wait.
Hearing the enthusiastic calls from fans, the two greeted their own fans while walking.
"Wei Wei, is your arm okay? Was it injured during military training? Why wasn't it aired?"
"Er Ya, you actually performed very well during military training, don't overexert yourself either. Long distance marches under heavy load were below standard, but moms aren't disappointed!"
"Eat more, no problem, but have less of those oily braised pork..."
"The Wei Feng who trained with you will take care of you, don't worry!"
...
Qin Wei walked forward while thanking them, also answering the fans' questions:
"I'm fine, just a small injury..."
The fans’ care moved her, but...
"How did you guys know? Did they directly upload the videos on the school website? I thought it was for internal circulation?"
The fans nodded profusely:
"But your school also has a lot of Wei Feng internally..."
So it must have been discovered by enthusiastic people, then spread to other platforms.
Tsk...it's over now.
The military leadership kept emphasizing that the filming was for internal circulation, each saying it more authoritatively than the last, so she didn't think too much of it either, just doing whatever needed to be done every day.
The school and troops probably didn't expect this either. Although there had been filming the past two years, those were just quietly posted on the school website with low internal clickthrough rates, seeming merely procedural and taken down when the date arrived.
But this year...sigh...
Qin Wei racked her brains trying to recall if she had done anything stupid...
Not knowing her thoughts, the fans were of course very excited to see her in person, and started shouting again:
"Wei Wei, you looked so cool during military training, I love it so much!"
"Qin Wei, don't space out!!
"Hubby, keep it up during military training!!"
Only this sentence caught Qin Wei's attention. Glancing around, she didn't know which fan was shouting that.
At least as far as she could see, there wasn't a single "hubby" here.
Seeing her confused expression, everyone became even more spirited. For a while, there were more shouts of "hubby" than shouts of "Er Ye."
It became more impassioned the more they shouted.
Qin Wei: "?"
Qiao Sixiao kindly reminded while walking past:
"Stop looking, they're calling you, hubby."
Qin Wei suddenly understood, and asked the fans:
"So you wife fans don't mean making me your wife, but wanting to be my wife, right?"
The fans scoffed coldly:
"Foolish Er Ye, slow on the uptake as usual. Make inferences about other cases from one instance! We don't make you our mom either when we call ourselves mom fans!"
