Xu Chen didn't dare to ask too much about Fu Chi's situation, as that would be considered a breach of privacy.
She sensed that Xia Zhiyi's tone was much more relaxed than when they last contacted each other, without that heavy sense of oppression, so she guessed that the situation was probably not bad, and she breathed a slight sigh of relief.
So Xu Chen didn't ask any more questions and changed the subject, "So you'll be staying at the hospital with President Fu the whole time? If so, some of the previous arrangements will need to be adjusted."
Xia Zhiyi: "I'll stay with him for a while, and once I'm sure there are no problems, I can resume my previous schedule."
Neither Xia Zhiyi nor Fu Chi are the clingy type.
If they were to stay together all the time, they might feel uncomfortable. Even when she was hospitalized, Xia Zhiyi would still give Fu Chi some personal space.
Xu Chen: "Oh? How long is this period of time?"
Xia Zhiyi: "Tell me about your plans first."
Xu Chen hesitated for a moment before saying, " Director Mu contacted me before and introduced me to a resource that I think is quite suitable for you."
"It's a variety show. I contacted the production team before, and they should have heard about you from Director Mu and were interested, but before we could make any further contact, your incident happened, so..."
Xia Zhiyi: "Is it another variety show...?"
Xu Chen smiled somewhat guiltily, "I know you only want to act, so I didn't plan to get you on too many variety shows, but we can't have absolutely no exposure, can we?"
"I was thinking you needed to find an opportunity to showcase yourself and get noticed, so when good resources were recommended to you, I took a look."
"This variety show is perfect timing. It's a sports-themed show that aims to showcase the youthful energy of contemporary young people. The guests are all under thirty years old, and occasionally some athletes will be invited to participate."
"This program has official support, enjoys good popularity, and doesn't over-hype it."
"The recording time for each episode isn't long, usually two or three days. Special episodes might take a little longer, but at most three or four days."
"With your skills, going on this show would just be like going out and traveling with strangers."
As Xu Chen spoke, he unconsciously began to persuade Xia Zhiyi.
Xia Zhiyi remained silent. "I know you're doing this for my sake, Sister Chen. What you said is true; appropriate exposure can indeed be beneficial for me."
"What about time?"
Xu Chen: "Ah, I heard they're doing a live-stream special for New Year's Day this year. I was going to help you get in touch with that, but now... if you're willing, we can take on the next episode."
Xia Zhiyi chuckled, " Sister Chen, what you're saying makes it sound like I can go whenever I want?"
Xu Chen smiled and said, "You underestimate me, don't you? If you want to go, I can get you in, not just for the next episode, but for the one after that."
Xia Zhiyi: "Okay, I won't go on New Year's Day. Even if nothing unexpected happens, I want to spend the New Year with Fu Chi."
Xu Chen: "Okay, then I'll arrange the next episode for you."
Xia Zhiyi: "Yes, thank you for your hard work, Sister Chen."
Xu Chen: "It's not hard work at all. If you can get me a few scripts just by appearing on a show, it will save me a lot of trouble."
The reason for saying this is that Xia Zhiyi had previously discussed it with Xu Chen, and his goal was clear: his main job was acting, and when he had acting opportunities, Xu Chen wouldn't need to worry about him.
So if Xia Zhiyi gets the script, it means Xu Chen won't have to worry too much about him during his filming period.
Xia Zhiyi chuckled, "Okay, if I have the chance, I'll definitely try my best to impress some big director and get them to offer me scripts."
Xu Chen chuckled, "Alright, I'll wait for your good news."
They both knew the other was joking, so they just laughed it off.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Zhiyi returned to the ward and found Fu Chi still leisurely eating his porridge. She paused, then asked, "Waiting for me?"
Fu Chi: "Hmm."
"You seem to be in a good mood. Is there some good news?"
Xia Zhiyi smiled, sat down beside Fu Chi's bed, picked up her own copy, and casually recounted what she had just discussed with Xu Chen.
Fu Chi: "Then I'll watch the live stream with you tonight."
Xia Zhiyi: "Okay."
After the two finished their meal, as Xia Zhiyi got up to clean up, Fu Chi hesitated for a moment and said, " A-Yi."
Xia Zhiyi looked up at him.
Fu Chi: "My eyes seem to have returned to normal."
Xia Zhiyi paused.
A few seconds later, he continued tidying up, saying as he did so, "Wait a minute, let me finish tidying up here first, then tell me what you think."
Fu Chi smiled and said, "Okay."
A few minutes later, Xia Zhiyi sat down next to Fu Chi again, staring intently into his eyes, trying to recall what Fu Chi 'Fu Chi eyes looked like before, but she couldn't find anything different.
That's normal, though. Before this, Fu Chi's eyes didn't show any obvious difference when switching between black and white and colored lenses.
If he doesn't say anything, no one will notice his eye problem.
Just like now, if Fu Chi doesn't say anything, Xia Zhiyi is completely unaware of these things.
Xia Zhiyi lowered her voice. "You... can see it all the time?"
Fu Chi nodded slightly. "Mm."
"Actually, I could see it when I first woke up, but I thought you were there while I was unconscious..." Fu Chi said, coughing lightly, his ears slightly red. "Then you kissed me again, and I didn't think much of it in the afternoon."
"Just now, when you called, Dad told me that there are security cameras in this ward, and I can check them anytime on my phone. I just glanced at it and that's when I found out..."
Only then did I realize something was wrong.
When he lost consciousness, Xia Zhiyi often stayed with him in the ward and helped him with some things. But after that brief moment of "consciousness" last night, Xia Zhiyi's attitude towards him became subtle. How could she possibly kiss him while he was still unconscious?
Therefore, the " Xia Zhiyi " buff that Fu Chi thought he had didn't exist; he could simply open his eyes and see the true colors of this world.
It's as if this car accident healed his eyes.
However, Fu Chi had a strange intuition that the matter concerning his eyes was not so simple.
Especially before waking up, Fu Chi had that dream...
When Xia Zhiyi came in just now, she found that Fu Chi hadn't finished eating yet, because Fu Chi himself hadn't been paying attention to his meal and had been doing other things.
Xia Zhiyi: "You didn't tell me right away, were you hesitating about whether or not to tell me?"
Fu Chi: "Hmm."
Xia Zhiyi: "Why?"
At times like this, Xia Zhiyi knew that she should be considerate and not ask too many questions; some things didn't need to be explained so clearly.
But he didn't want to leave any misunderstandings between him and Fu Chi.
It's better for them to find out the details.
