Lin Xiyan was in a blank state when she felt a woosh of air sweep past her. Immediately, she was pulled into a hug that had a faint sandalwood scent.
Fu Xiuyu hugged onto her and looked all around, "Who told you to come?! Get out! Guards!"
Lin Xiyan heard the man's voice and was completely petrified. She allowed him to hold onto her.
Yin Shiqiong saw the way Fu Xiuyu protected Lin Xiyan. The grace on her face vanished as she dug her nails into her hand.
After he returned home from the audition, she demanded he tells her his relationship with that girl. He said he didn't know her.
If he didn't know her, why would he be up there protecting her?!
It didn't take long for Fu Xiuyu and Luo Chen's bodies to be covered with food.
Qiao Qing and Lin Xiyan were not harmed since they were being protected.
When those who were throwing food saw the bodyguards come over, they dashed in the other direction.
Only after everyone left, did Luo Chen let go of Qiao Qing. He held onto her shoulders and checked her out, "Qingqing, are you okay?"
Qiao Qing's expression was cold like frost. She extended an arm and picked the rotten lettuce leaves out of his hair, "I'm okay."
Before Fu Xiuyu could ask how Lin Xiyan was doing, Yin Shiqiong had already walked up to them.
Originally, she wanted to cross arms with him. But after noticing his dirtied jacket, she didn't follow through.
Instead, she bit her lips and looked over to him with pain in her eyes, "Xiuyu."
She didn't have to speak much to express her doubt and interrogation.
Fu Xiuyu froze for a second before finally realizing what he had done.
He took a look at Lin Xiyan, who was still in a daze and pursed his lips. He himself questioned his actions.
Just now, he had run over here without thinking. He didn't have a valid reason. At that moment, he just didn't want her to get hurt.
"Xiuyu~" Yin Shiqiong asked again and dragged Fu Xiuyu back to reality.
"It's nothing. Let's go." Fu Xiuyu took off his jacket and threw it into the trash and left.
However, he was only able to take one step when a cold voice arose from behind, "Director Fu, don't you want to explain?"
Fu Xiuyu stopped his steps and turned back, "What?"
Qiao Qing replied, "Is your hearing okay? Did you not hear what those people said? Director Fu, are you really going to let this develop further and allow Fu Siying's fans to bully Lin Xiyan under Fu Siying's directions?!"
Fu Xiuyu hesitated for a moment before answering, "Though Siying isn't the most patient person in the world and is a little picky, she wouldn't ask anyone to do this. Plus, you must've heard that the fans' actions are not representative of the idol."
Yin Shiqiong's bitter mood felt better.
Lin Xiyan's face was pale white by now. Her heart that had just warmed a little fell back down the cliff.
Qiao Qing coldly snickered, "Very well. I have given you and your sister a chance."
She then placed her arm on Lin Xiyan's shoulder, "Let's go."
Yin Shiqiong watched the three walk away and scorned, "Every year, the new students get cockier and cockier. Xiuyu, don't mind them."
Fu Xiuyu nodded. Towards Qiao Qing's provoking statement, he didn't think much of it.
Luo Chen walked alongside the two and occasionally peeked back, "Qingqing, what happened? What actress? What role? Who stole Fu Siying's role?"
Qiao Qing, "Go on Weibo. It should be all over the trending page."
Luo Chen took out his phone and went on Weibo as instructed. He immediately cursed, "Xiyan has been chosen to play the female lead for 'Immortal'?!"
