Well, rest doesn't matter. As long as I can see Xia Zhiyi, that's rest for me.
The two get along very stably. One has lived for so long that his emotions are stable and he won't get angry over trivial matters; the other has a stable personality and doesn't show much emotion, so you might not even be able to tell if he's angry.
Fu Yunyi came to the Imperial Capital again a few days ago and secretly Xia Zhiyi. He stared at him for a long time before finally saying, "I just can't figure it out. How did you end up with my uncle? There's absolutely no chemistry between you two."
Xia Zhiyi: "..."
I'm so sorry we were so passionately embracing and whispering sweet nothings before even meeting!
After lunch, Xia Zhiyi dragged Xia Wanyi shopping in the afternoon. Despite Xia Wanyi's disapproving look, she insisted on buying several sets of autumn clothes for Xia Wanyi and Xia Zhen, who was not present.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xia Zhiyi saw Xia Wanyi off at the station. Xia Wanyi, carrying the suitcase she had bought that afternoon, said with a hint of helplessness, "I came here empty-handed, but I'm coming back with all these bags. You really are something."
Xia Zhiyi smiled, touched her nose, and said, "If I don't buy it, Xiao Zhen won't forget about it, but she certainly won't buy new clothes for herself, right?"
Xia Wanyi: "... It's not like you can't wear your old clothes anymore."
Xia Zhiyi: "But I want my sister to have new clothes."
Xia Wanyi smiled helplessly, reached out and touched her younger brother's head, and said with some emotion, "You've grown so fast these past few months. You were about the same height as me during the summer vacation, and now you're a head taller than me after just a few months."
Xia Wanyi: "Now I have to raise my hand to touch your head. Are you still going to grow taller?"
As she spoke, Xia Wanyi stroked her chin thoughtfully, "Won't I have to stand on tiptoe to touch your head in the future?"
Xia Zhiyi smiled and slightly bent his knees, indicating that he would fully cooperate with Xia Wanyi's actions and that she wouldn't need to tiptoe to touch his head.
Xia Wanyi satisfied. She smiled and gave Xia Zhiyi rub, then opened her arms and gently hugged her younger brother. "Okay, there are some things you don't tell me, and I won't ask too much. But if you encounter any trouble or anything sad, you still have to tell your sister, okay?"
Xia Zhiyi nodded gently, smiling as she hugged her back, "Okay, sister."
After watching Xia Wanyi leave, Xia Zhiyi took out her phone, checked the time, and sent a message to Li Jing.
[A: Thank you to the Song family. Please let me know if there are any new updates from Huanyu. Thank you.]
The reply came quickly.
[M: You're welcome. I'll be waiting for your great contribution.]
[A: The framework is almost ready. Try to come see me on Christmas Eve.]
[M: You've already created the framework? I thought you'd at most give me a solution...]
[M: Okay, I'll go ask for leave right away!]
[M: If this framework gets approved, then I'll have to ask, "Did you make this?"]
[A: No need. You can say it was donated for free by a kind, unknown person.]
[M:...]
Putting away her phone, Xia Zhiyi stepped out of the waiting hall.

"Okay, card!"
Xia Zhiyi, who had been lying in the abandoned factory covered in blood, jumped up with a jolt as the sound fell, startling Fu Yunyi, who was reaching out to pull him up.
Fu Yunyi: "Your zombie-like behavior is a bit scary."
Hearing this, Xia Zhiyi smiled at him, "Oh, I'm sorry, because I didn't want to keep lying on the ground."
Fu Yunyi glanced down at the floor, which hadn't been cleaned for the sake of effect and looked particularly messy, and expressed his understanding. "Your last scene is coming up soon. After filming wraps up, the crew has prepared a wrap party for you tonight, so don't just leave after you've finished shooting."
Xia Zhiyi nodded. "I know, I know. You told me this the first time you saw me this morning, you told me it again at noon, and now you're saying it again. Do you think I have such a bad memory?"
Fu Yunyi was speechless. "It's all because you run off as soon as you finish work, and I can't even see you when I turn around."
Xia Zhiyi didn't have many scenes, and Director Mu took good care of him. In addition, Xia Zhiyi's filming went smoothly, so Xia Zhiyi finish filming quickly every weekend.
Sometimes, if things go smoothly, a scene that was originally expected to be filmed in half a day might be finished in less than an hour or two, leaving Xia Zhiyi with free time.
If it's a Saturday, Xia Zhiyi stay on set to observe how the other actors perform.
But if it were Sunday, and filming could end early in the afternoon, Xia Zhiyi would definitely turn around and run away with Director Mu's tacit approval.
The others in the crew were unaware of the situation and simply Xia Zhiyi wanted to return to school as soon as possible.
But Fu Yunyi knew some things, especially since he couldn't find Xia Zhiyi the first time and when he called her, Fu Chi answered. It would be hard for him not to know.
Ha, what do you mean by going back to school? This guy just used that little bit of time to run off and see his uncle.
But Fu Yunyi couldn't tell anyone about this, so he could only watch as most of the crew labeled Xia Zhiyi as a top student and a model student.
Xia Zhiyi the implication in Fu Yunyi's words and said with a smile, "Oh, you should understand me. This is my first time dating too."
So, is it okay if I want to spend more time with my boyfriend?
Fu Yunyi choked.
Even after so much time has passed, Fu Yunyi still feels dazed about Xia Zhiyi and Fu Chi's relationship.
But seeing that Xia Zhiyi and Fu Chi have been in a relationship for some time now, although he doesn't know exactly how they get along in private, every time he hears Xia Zhiyi or Fu Chi talking to each other on the phone, their eyes soften inexplicably, and the aura they exude when they stand together is like a world unto themselves, Fu Yunyi feels a sense of reality again.
They're really in love.
His uncle, and the friend and brother he originally thought he was.
Xia Zhiyi smiled and took the water glass from Ming Taotao, avoiding the "blood" on her lips as she took a sip through the straw. While everyone else was busy tidying up the scene, she said to Fu Yunyi, "By the way, I was thinking that we'd be playing friends in the drama, so I didn't say anything when you kept calling my name."
"But I'm wrapping up filming today, shouldn't you change your tune now?"
Fu Yunyi: "..."
What should we change our tune to?
Should we call him uncle?
Even if he had already accepted Xia Zhiyi in his heart, it was still hard to get Fu Yunyi to call her out...
I'm sorry, he feels so ashamed!
