In the end, Xia Zhiyi stay and transport the person to a nearby place, but when Director Mu saw Fu Chi, he waved him away and told him to go back quickly. He then asked a hotel waiter for help and called a car to take the person back.
Watching Xia Zhiyi leave, Director Mu remarked, "She looks like just a kid, I never expected her to be such a drinker."
Xia Zhiyi: With Internal Cultivation in hand, one can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.
Xia Zhiyi and Fu Chi sat side by side in the back seat of the car. The bouquet of flowers that the crew had prepared for him was taken away by Ming Taotao, who planned to put it in her apartment later to see how long it would last.
At that moment, he was holding a bouquet of flowers that Fu Chi had given him, his eyes crinkling with joy. "I didn't expect you to prepare flowers for me too, I'm so happy."
Fu Chi's expression softened. "Have you been drinking?"
Xia Zhiyi nodded. "I drank a little, not much. Your nephew is naughty, he thought I didn't notice, and he took advantage of the crowd to toast me several times. If I hadn't cheated, you might have seen a drunk me today."
As she spoke, Xia Zhiyi turned to Fu Chi with a smile, "Oh right, I don't think I told you. I can use my Internal Cultivation to force the alcohol out of my body, so as long as I don't want to get drunk, no one can get me drunk."
"That will put your mind at ease, won't it?"
When he first got into the car, Fu Chi probably smelled alcohol on him, and a hint of worry appeared between his brows. However, he felt better after realizing that Fu Chi was sober.
Upon hearing this, Fu Chi nodded slightly and said, "Even so, drinking is still harmful to your health. If you don't like it, then don't drink anymore."
Others might have occasions where they feel obligated to drink due to social obligations, but Fu Chi is confident that he can protect Xia Zhiyi as long as Xia Zhiyi doesn't want to.
If you don't even give him face, it only means you're not strong enough and need to keep working hard.
Xia Zhiyi shrugged. "It's alright. Drinking coffee or alcohol makes no difference to me, it's like drinking water, the only difference is the taste and texture."
Noticing the man's slight frown, as if he had misunderstood something, Xia Zhiyi quickly explained, "It's a matter of constitution, not something wrong with my sense of taste or my body, don't worry."
He's healthier than anyone else.
In other worlds, he might have had some old or chronic illnesses or scars due to various reasons. But after returning to this world, perhaps as a reward for all the missions he had undertaken in the past, Xia Zhiyi is now exceptionally healthy, and his self-healing ability is stronger than that of Ordinary Person.
While not strong enough to heal wounds instantly, the recovery speed is certainly faster than others.
Upon hearing this, Fu Chi simply raised his hand and gently patted his head, his expression calm. "I understand."
Whether he believes it or not, you really can't tell from his face.
Xia Zhiyi coughed lightly, deciding that this topic could be skipped. "My scenes with the film crew are finished, so I'll have free time on the weekends. It seems there's been some delay with the movie crew, but I'll be able to spend the weekends with you after that."
"Ah, but there might be some additional shots we need to film, so they might call me over, but it won't take too long."
"Unless they drastically change the script, I'm probably out of the running."
Upon hearing this, Fu Chi looked at him gently and asked, "Then could you come with me on a trip out of town next weekend?"
Xia Zhiyi: "Business trip?"
Fu Chi nodded.
Xia Zhiyi: "It should be fine."
Afterwards, the two returned to their apartment in the Imperial Capital. Xia Zhiyi had originally thought that since filming had finally wrapped up, she could take her boyfriend out for a night out to celebrate.
However, Fu Chi felt that he had finally finished work and should get some rest. Besides, Xia Zhiyi had class the next day, and even though Xia Zhiyi said she was full of energy,...
So the two of them eventually went back to their place.
Back at the apartment, Xia Zhiyi finally understood why Fu Chi had insisted on bringing him back.
Xia Zhiyi: "You even prepared a cake?!"
Xia Zhiyi had given Fu Chi the key to this apartment before, so even though Xia Zhiyi wasn't in the Imperial Capital, Fu Chi could come over anytime he wanted.
This also shows Xia Zhiyi's trust. Don't be fooled by his ever-present smile when he's with others; he's actually a person with a strong sense of personal territory.
Outside is one thing, but in an apartment, a place that's like being in one's own territory, unless someone is someone Xia Zhiyi truly trusts, let alone getting a key to his place, you can only visit when Xia Zhiyi is in a good mood.
If someone were to come running over without saying a word and try to get in, Xia Zhiyi, though she wouldn't say it outwardly, would definitely drop her favorability to the bottom.
So far, besides Ming Taotao, who occasionally comes to deliver things to Xia Zhiyi, only Fu Chi has a key.
Ming Taotao was very sensible; she would never open the door and come in without Xia Zhiyi, so Xia Zhiyi was willing to give her the key.
For Fu Chi, that's a boyfriend privilege.
At this moment, from the moment Xia Zhiyi entered the room, she smelled a faint fragrance in the air. The scent was not pungent, but rather elegant and pleasant, and very subtle. If Xia Zhiyi's five senses were not more acute than those of ordinary people, she would not have been able to smell it unless she had to sniff carefully.
The living room was meticulously decorated, with a banner hanging on the TV wall celebrating Xia Zhiyi's successful wrap-up of filming, and fresh flowers, still glistening with dew, adorning the surroundings. The entire living room looked...
Xia Zhiyi: "It's starting to look like a wedding room."
Fu Chi paused slightly.
Xia Zhiyi didn't notice his momentary pause. She stepped into the living room, looking around curiously, and finally her gaze settled on a box on the coffee table. "This is a cake, isn't it? I can smell it."
They've spent quite a bit of time together, and given their special relationship, they've spent even more time together in private. So, Fu Chi is quite aware of how Xia Zhiyi's nose is.
Therefore, it was not surprising at all that Xia Zhiyi could smell what was inside the box without even opening it.
He nodded. "I thought, after all, it's your first time wrapping up filming, so it should be a memorable day."
They all say that preparing a cake for an anniversary is the best thing to do.
Actually, Fu Chi asked the people around him and then searched online to see how others did it. He found that cakes appeared quite frequently, so he thought that there might be some special meaning behind them. So he followed the steps and ordered one for himself.
Xia Zhiyi smiled and said, "Wow, you should have told me beforehand. I should have eaten less earlier."
Fu Chi: "It's okay, I just wanted to make you happy. If you can't finish it, you can put it in the refrigerator."
Xia Zhiyi: "No, I can eat. But although it's fun to eat with everyone, a candlelight dinner with my boyfriend is also very important!"
