Xia Zhiyi caught up with Fu Chi and said with a smile, "You and your nephew have completely different personalities."
Fu Chi's Xia Zhiyi is noticeably different from his attitude towards Fu Yunyi. This doesn't mean that Fu Chi treats Fu Yunyi badly; on the contrary, Xia Zhiyi can sense that Fu Chi is more genuine when he's with Fu Yunyi.
Or rather, Fu Chi would be more relaxed and natural around Fu Yunyi.
As for themselves, the two hadn't known each other for very long. Although they were both straightforward in their interactions, they weren't that familiar with each other, so they would tacitly maintain certain boundaries.
Just like Fu Chi wouldn't inquire about Xia Zhiyi's private affairs.
Upon hearing Xia Zhiyi's words, Fu Chi simply replied with a calm, "Mm."
This is not surprising. Xia Zhiyi didn't say this to Fu Chi to discuss the matter at length; it was just a casual remark.
Xia Zhiyi: "I feel like Brother Fu seems a little afraid of you, which is strange. You were just trying to be kind, weren't you?"
Fu Chi, with good intentions. "... Hmm."
Xia Zhiyi: "Wait, I call Fu Yunyi 'Brother Fu,' but you call me by my first name. But... are we now on equal footing?"
Fu Chi: "Hmm."
Xia Zhiyi: "Then is it wrong for me to call Fu Yunyi 'Brother Fu '?"
Fu Chi said calmly, "It's alright, do as you wish."
Xia Zhiyi rested her fingers on her chin, seemed to ponder for a few seconds, and then smiled and said, "Well, I don't want you to be my elder. Maybe I should change how I address you."
Fu Chi understood the implication in his words: he didn't want him to be an elder, so... he wanted to be Fu Yunyi's elder?
He was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Okay."
Xia Zhiyi smiled and said, "So, does this mean I have your approval?"
Fu Chi gave a soft "Mmm": "I'll tell Fu Yunyi later."
What are you saying?
He was told to call Xia Zhiyi" Uncle" from now on.
Fu Yunyi: "..."
When his uncle called him out for a private talk, Fu Yunyi still felt very uneasy.
There was nothing he could do; he was naturally inferior to Fu Chi, and he had recently displeased his uncle. Now that he was being singled out, he couldn't help but feel that his uncle was going to settle scores.
As a result, Fu Chi said that Xia Zhiyi was his friend, so he told Fu Yunyi to be more polite to Xia Zhiyi, who was an elder, in the future.
Fu Yunyi: "Wait, Uncle, you said before that he would be my junior brother in the future..."
Fu Chi calmly replied, "Yes, you can call me 'Uncle-Master' if you want."
Although this generational ranking is somewhat inexplicable, it conveys the same meaning.
Fu Yunyi: "No, Uncle, well... if you like Xia Zhiyi, why don't you be friends with him? We can each keep our own things..."
Fu Chi said calmly, "No."
Fu Yunyi didn't understand.
Fu Yunyi was puzzled.
Why?
His uncle wanted to treat the young boy as an equal, which he understood—after all, Xia Zhiyi was likable, and he liked him too, right? But why did they have to be so clear about the generational hierarchy?
Fu Yunyi and Fu Chi have overlapping social circles. Because the age difference between the uncle and nephew is so small, it is difficult to distinguish the people they know by age. They have always kept their own accounts of this.
The simplest example is Xu Chen.
Xu Chen is Fu Yunyi's agent and is his peer.
Fu Chi is considered Fu Yunyi's parent, an elder, but aside from official business, Xu Chen and Fu Chi are still peers when they occasionally communicate in private.
They don't affect each other.
At least Xu Chen wouldn't, because of Fu Yunyi, casually address Fu Chi as "Your Excellency."
Right?
Fu Chi didn't care.
Fu Chi insisted, "I won't interfere if you become friends with him, but in formal settings, he's your elder."
Fu Yunyi: "..."
Fu Yunyi: "Okay."
Okay.
It was his uncle who said those words.
What could he do?
He... he's obedient.
Damn it, an elder suddenly appeared out of nowhere. What a headache.
However, Fu Yunyi thought about it again and realized that if it were Xia Zhiyi, having an extra elder wouldn't really have any impact.
Because Xia Zhiyi isn't the type to boast about his seniority just because he's been promoted, or to use his seniority to suppress others. At most, there's a very small possibility that Xia Zhiyi might be introduced as his uncle in some future situations...
No, it sounds too weird.
I'd rather not think about it anymore.
At this moment, Fu Yunyi had no idea that one day Xia Zhiyi would actually become his elder.
The last three days of the Incredible Life event were peaceful and heartwarming—this was Xia Zhiyi's experience.
For the audience, most of their attention was focused on the uncle and nephew pair, Fu Chi and Fu Yunyi.
There's no way around it; the age difference between the uncle and nephew is very small, and Fu Chi, as an outsider, is just as good-looking as Fu Yunyi, a popular star, and in some people's eyes, he's even better than Fu Yunyi. As a result, he has attracted many fans just by his face.
In terms of personality, Fu Yunyi's image in the eyes of the audience on this show has changed from the initial stereotype of a cool guy to that of a lively and energetic young male celebrity who, although he is cool when he is not talking, is actually still very energetic.
There's even a slight tendency for it to develop into a husky.
Well, lastly, I have to mention the sabotage that Fu Yunyi inadvertently caused during the preparation period for the auction.
Although Xia Zhiyi always cleaned up the mess in the end, he did have a knack for wreaking havoc.
Not to mention, during the ten-plus days of live streaming, Fu Yunyi, along with Wang Chengran and Xue Ranran, formed a three-person team and broke quite a few things, with Fu Yunyi being the one who caused the most damage.
Who would have thought that Fu Yunyi, a handsome guy who looks so cool and classy when he's not talking, could be just as boisterous as Wang Chengran and the others!
Before Fu Chi arrived, after several surprises, the audience gradually accepted the fact that the actor Fu Yunyi was actually quite lively in private.
After Fu Chi arrived, everyone... everyone noticed that Fu Yunyi acted even more like a dog.
Of course, this isn't meant to be an insult.
This refers to the fact that Fu Yunyi was timid and submissive in front of his young uncle, Fu Chi, much like a pitiful but obedient big puppy.
This contrast actually attracted a new group of fans to Fu Yunyi, and they weren't girlfriend fans or boyfriend fans, but rather mom fans and dad fans.
It's really confusing.
As a control group, Fu Chi attracted a lot of fans and haters.
Yes, although it was only for three days, and he was just a guest assisting with the filming, Fu Chi still quickly attracted a large number of fans and haters in this short period of time, and sparked a war of words on the Internet.
If word got out, it would make those obscure, attention-giving 18th-tier celebrities green with envy.
Fu Chi a man who can carve out a path in the entertainment industry based solely on his looks and personality.
