In the young girl's mind, Xia Zhiyi's work was simply going to work.
Although her work experience seems different from others', she equates work with going to work.
Xia Wanyi smiled and said, "Yes, Xiao Zhen is the best girl."
"But winter break is coming soon, I Zhiyi how much time Zhiyi will have during it." She said, slowing her movements and sighing softly, "I hope he really likes this job."
It's not because they want to earn money quickly to support their families that they do this...
Xia Wanyi was able to notice the changes in her younger brother; in fact, she felt Xia Zhiyi's transformation most clearly.
Xia Wanyi only accepted it because Xia Zhiyi was still Xia Zhiyi, not a completely different person inside her.
Otherwise, despite Xia Wanyi's gentle personality and seemingly soft-spoken nature, rarely showing any emotional outbursts, she is essentially similar to Xia Zhiyi sister.
If Xia Zhiyi weren't Xia Zhiyi, Xia Wanyi might have already found an opportunity to send Xia Zhiyi to the police station—what kind of monster would try to steal my brother's body? I can't handle it; I still have my "father" protecting me!
Don't ask Xia Wanyi how she confirmed that her brother was her own. The siblings, who depend on each other for survival, naturally have their own way of verifying each other's identities.
It was precisely Xia Wanyi noticed Xia Zhiyi's changes and could sense that Xia Zhiyi had grown rapidly without her knowledge, displaying a composure and reliability that was unmatched by other peers, that Xia Wanyi did not hesitate to let go and not interfere with Xia Zhiyi's choices.
However, not intervening does not mean not worrying.
Regardless of whether her younger brother has grown up or not, he is still her blood relative, her only remaining blood relative in this world. Even if Xia Zhiyi becomes more powerful and capable, she will still worry about him.
Xia Zhen is still young. Although she has experienced a lot in the past, it would be a lie to say that she understands Xia Wanyi's current dilemma.
She had never experienced what normal family affection was like before, until she came to the Xia family and felt what gentleness was under Xia Wanyi's tenderness. Under this premise, she was not very clear about the relationship between herself and Xia Wanyi and Xia Zhiyi.
But she knew that Xia Wanyi was worried about Xia Zhiyi.
Xia Zhen tilted her head, ultimately trying to understand Xia Wanyi's words in her own way, and snuggled closer to Xia Wanyi: "Brother, I like it."
It's unclear whether she meant she liked Xia Zhiyi, or if she was answering Xia Wanyi's previous question.
Xia Wanyi a surge of tenderness as the girl nuzzled against her, so she reached out and pulled her into her arms, patting the little girl's head like she was petting a cat. "I like Xiao Zhen too."
Xia Zhen's eyes crinkled into a smile, "I like older sister, and I like older brother."
Xia Zhiyi changed into a loose set of pajamas and when she found the room, she saw the two sisters hugging each other affectionately. Xia Zhen was leaning obediently against Xia Wanyi's chest, while Xia Wanyi was whispering something to her.
"What are you talking about?" Xia Zhiyi asked, leaning against the door frame while drying her hair with a towel.
Xia Wanyi looked up at him and smiled, "I noticed Xiao Zhen seemed a bit curious, so I told her about that ancient town."
The filming location was an ancient town, which is said to be two hundred years old. However, it's uncertain whether the buildings inside were actually built two hundred years ago.
"Did you look it up online?" Xia Zhiyi asked.
Xia Wanyi: "Well, you have to work after all, so I might take Xiao Zhen around to do some research beforehand to save trouble."
Xia Zhiyi didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He hadn't planned to keep the two sisters locked up in their residence while he was working. On the contrary, he was happy that Xia Wanyi took Xia Zhen out to play.
Xia Zhiyi: "Okay, then let Sister Taotao come with you."
Hearing this, Xia Wanyi finally remembered what she had forgotten today and asked Xia Zhiyi, "Strange, you came alone today, didn't you? Where's Taotao?"
Xia Zhiyi paused, then smiled, "Ah, she'll go straight to her destination, and you'll see her there."
Xia Wanyi assumed that Ming Taotao had other work to attend to when she heard this, and didn't think much of it.
In reality...
Ming Taotao: Teacher Xia! Teacher Xia! Why did you suddenly run away without telling me! Why did you just abandon me like that! I'm your assistant! If you want to work, you can't leave me as your assistant. Sister Chen will scold me if she finds out!
Xia Zhiyi: Ah, I was so worried about my sister that I accidentally forgot about Sister Taotao.
However, it shouldn't be a big problem.
We're all adults; we can't just get lost like that, right?
As for whether Ming Taotao will be angry about this... well, after spending this time together, Xia Zhiyi feels that Ming Taotao's biggest advantage is that she's easy to coax.
Buy some good food later, say a few kind words when you meet, and act pitiful. Ming Taotao will basically not be angry anymore.
If she gives a red envelope as an excuse afterward, the matter will be over in Ming Taotao's mind, and she might not even remember it if it is brought up again in a few days.
You don't even need to buy gifts; a few kind words are enough to win Ming Taotao over.
Therefore, Xia Zhiyi wasn't very worried.
As for Xu Chen... ever since the indirect confrontation with Xu Chen last time, this agent had basically been leaving Xia Zhiyi, letting Xia Zhiyi, and treating her as just a tool.
The reason for this is twofold: firstly, Xu Chen was certain that Xia Zhiyi was not someone to be trifled with, and that she was not lacking in either martial arts or intelligence, so she would not interfere too much in Xia Zhiyi's private life.
Secondly... Xia Zhiyi is the boss's wife.
And she's a smart boss lady.
She's still a smart and pampered boss lady.
Why does she care so much?
Being a mere tool is enough.
Being a tool is great! She's already racked her brains enough with Fu Yunyi, so being able to give her brain a break here is such a good thing!
Yes, Fu Yunyi isn't stupid; he's a handsome guy with brains. But! But! Unfortunately, this elite talent, also a graduate of a prestigious university, doesn't want to use his brain!
Fu Yunyi won't let you down in crucial moments, but normally his Fu Yunyi is just a facade!
For example, Xia Zhiyi and Fu Yunyi are filming in the same production crew this time. Since Xu Chen only manages these two people, shouldn't her workload be easier when they're both in the same crew?
That's ridiculous.
As Fu Yunyi's agent, Xu Chen was fine when Fu Yunyi wasn't famous, but now that he's become famous, she simply doesn't have that much free time to spend with him on set!
Fu Yunyi only needed to stay in the film crew and focus on filming without any distractions, while Xu Chen had to run around outside, negotiating collaborations, securing resources, dealing with scandals, and so on... a whole host of things waiting for her to handle.
