While saying this, Xia Zhiyi from Fu Yunyi's expression, wasn't surprised to find that he didn't seem to mind being called "boyfriend."
Xia Zhiyi lost in thought.
Fu Yunyi might not understand why Fu Chi brought her out in this way, but Xia Zhiyi could roughly guess some of Fu Chi's thoughts—in Fu Chi's view, he might have subconsciously paired Fu Yunyi and Gu Miaomiao together.
By having Gu Miaomiao be labeled as Fu Yunyi's girlfriend, a connection is established between Gu Miaomiao and Fu Chi, serving as a deterrent to Zhao Changye.
Secondly, Fu Yunyi is currently on the rise and has considerable fame. What Zhao Changye do behind the scenes is not something that can be brought to light, and they cannot completely control public opinion. Offending Fu Yunyi is not a good idea, and if they are pushed too far, it may be easier for things to go wrong.
Thirdly, the fact that Fu Yunyi had a hidden girlfriend was a kind of leverage for Zhao Changye and his ilk.
After all, they didn't know about this before, which means that the relationship between Fu Yunyi and Gu Miaomiao was kept well hidden. Obviously, they didn't want to expose the news and affect Fu Yunyi's career.
Compared to deterrence, this seemingly "fair" exchange of information is what truly puts people like Zhao Changye at ease.
It can be considered a step forward.
Zhao Changye and his group would never have imagined that the so-called romantic relationship was fabricated. A simple investigation would reveal that Gu Miaomiao came from an ordinary background and had no connection whatsoever with the Fu family. If there hadn't been such a connection, Fu Chi wouldn't have reacted so quickly and taken action to bail her out.
Who would have thought that their relationship was actually quite mysterious?
Xia Zhiyi glanced at Fu Yunyi, and thinking of Fu Yunyi's "impulsiveness" just now, she asked suspiciously, "You didn't really want to quit the recording and go back to your uncle, did you?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Yunyi's gaze flickered.
Xia Zhiyi: "..."
Alright, this kid wasn't actually threatening anyone just now; he genuinely intended to quit.
Fu Yunyi probably knew he couldn't hide it from Xia Zhiyi, so he explained, "I'm also a little worried about Gu Miaomiao's situation. She... she's been quite unlucky, like one misfortune after another."
Xia Zhiyi: "Why don't you give her a call and say a few words of comfort?"
Fu Yunyi touched his nose and whispered, "We just had a fight."
After confirming that Gu Miaomiao had returned home, he made a phone call.
Xia Zhiyi: "Okay."
He was the one who talked too much.
The two chatted for a few more minutes, but considering that they had to continue filming the next day and it was getting late, Fu Yunyi got up to leave.
Before leaving, Xia Zhiyi something and said to Fu Yunyi, "However, after this, Miss Gu will probably be targeted by Huanyu as well."
After all, those people don't know the inside story and might genuinely believe that the Fu family values Gu Miaomiao, Fu Yunyi's girlfriend, and who knows what ulterior motives they might have.
Upon hearing this, Fu Yunyi frowned, then said, "I understand."
Then, the next day, Xia Zhiyi clearly noticed that Fu Yunyi was absent-minded.
Not only did he notice it, but the rest of the production team also noticed it. However, unlike Xia Zhiyi the inside story, the others mistakenly thought that Fu Yunyi was still unhappy because of what happened last night.
The director also felt it was a bit tricky. Wan Baoxi left overnight yesterday, and her expression was very unpleasant when she left. The director saw her off and heard Wan Baoxi say a few sarcastic things, so he wasn't in a good mood either.
He knew that Wan Baoxi's last words were also meant to sow discord, but... knowing it meant he was still unhappy.
Therefore, even though the director knew that Fu Yunyi was not in the right state of mind, he did not remind him and let the group continue filming.
Some of the viewers noticed some clues.
Finally, Xia Zhiyi reminded Fu Yunyi, Fu Yunyi snapped out of his reverie, looked at the camera lens, touched his nose, and said to Xia Zhiyi, "Sorry, I was a little worried."
Both of them were wearing microphones at the time, and Fu Yunyi didn't mute his microphone when he spoke, so his words were clearly heard by the viewers in the live stream.
What does this mean? What is Brother Fu worried about?
[Has something happened?]
[You're worried about Teacher Wan, aren't you? Didn't the production team say this morning that Teacher Wan's old illness relapsed and he had to withdraw from the recording?]
[Yes, yes, our Brother Fu is always cold on the outside but warm on the inside, it's normal for him to worry about Teacher Wan.]
Fu Yunyi simply couldn't see the comments. If he could, and knew that those viewers thought he was worried about Wan Baoxi, he would probably be angry.
Xia Zhiyi: "Don't worry."
With your uncle personally taking care of it, what are you worried about?
However, Fu Yunyi for Gu Miaomiao...
Xia Zhiyi glanced at Fu Yunyi thoughtfully, then smiled and said, "If you're really worried, you can make a call and ask again when we're eating later?"
Fu Yunyi thought about it and agreed.
So he nodded.
This conversation was overheard by another elderly person passing by. After a pause, they asked, "Has something happened to your family?"
Fu Yunyi respected this senior and was about to speak when Xia Zhiyi spoke first, "Our friend had a bit of an accident yesterday, it's a little tricky, and Brother Fu is worried about his friend's condition."
Fu Yunyi paused for a moment, then nodded. "Yes."
The two appeared on the show as fellow apprentices. Although they didn't directly explain how Xia Zhiyi signed with Tianhuan, once their fellow apprentice relationship was clear, a little verbal guidance would naturally lead them to think in the direction Xia Zhiyi hoped for.
Upon hearing this, the senior colleague exclaimed "Ah!" and nodded in understanding.
The live chat was filled with discussion, and some people seized the opportunity to attack Fu Yunyi for only caring about himself and not his seniors. However, this kind of talk dragged the other guests who were also recording the show into the mess, so naturally some people were unhappy.
Although Xu Chen wasn't present, he had been paying close attention to the live stream. Upon seeing similar remarks, his brow twitched.
These matters didn't need to wait until Fu Yunyi found out before he had to worry about them, and Xu Chen wouldn't just stand by and watch, so those who needed to take action quickly did so.
When Fu Yunyi finally managed to take a break from the camera's view at noon and called Xu Chen, Xu Chen mentioned, "Since Wan Baoxi left because of a relapse of her old illness, don't appear too indifferent in front of the camera; show some concern."
Upon hearing this, Fu Yunyi, though knowing Xu Chen meant well, was still unhappy. "Huh? Why should I care about her when she was the one who chased her away because of her own impure intentions?"
