Upon hearing Fu Yunyi's words, the director was speechless.
Director: "... Huh?"
Director: "... So you're related?"
Xia Zhiyi and Fu Yunyi both looked at him, and then Xia Zhiyi smiled and said, "Yes, that's right, Yunyi is also my nephew."
director:...
sluggish.
The director calculated the relationships in his mind, and the seniority was actually quite clear. Xia Zhiyi was Fu Yunyi's uncle's boyfriend, and judging from the situation, the two had a good relationship and might even be discussing marriage. Therefore, President Fu's nephew was naturally Xia Zhiyi's junior, which made no problem.
But in reality, before this, everyone assumed that Fu Yunyi and Xia Zhiyi were peers, and that Fu Yunyi was Xia Zhiyi's senior...
When this notion is challenged, it's somewhat surprising.
but...
The director realized what was happening and quickly chuckled, "Oh, isn't that great? It turns out Teacher Xia and Teacher Fu are family. I was so ignorant!"
I'd heard before that some people who seemed suspicious would occasionally visit Xia Zhiyi on set while he was filming. Because the news was well-hidden and no photos leaked, the director, though aware of it, never suspected it was related to Fu Yunyi's uncle. Now, seeing this...
Hey, there's a clue here.
Fu Yunyi and Xia Zhiyi have a good relationship. Before Xia Zhiyi entered the entertainment industry, she participated in a variety show as an ordinary person with Fu Yunyi. At that time, Fu Chi, as an investor, went on the show, which caused some discussion.
It's just that Fu Chi's side probably suppressed the news, and after Fu Chi stopped appearing in front of the media, no one talked about it anymore.
Later, Xia Zhiyi signed with the company Fu Yunyi worked for. Wasn't Tianhuan Entertainment owned by Fu Yunyi's family?
That makes sense.
Director: "We're all one family, so close and friendly! That's a good thing!"
After speaking, the director looked at Xia Zhiyi and Fu Chi, and said with a smile, "The moment I saw you two, I knew you two must have a great relationship; you're a match made in heaven!"
After saying a lot of good wishes for the couple's happy love, he finally asked hesitantly, "So, President Fu, did you come here to see Teacher Xia and Teacher Fu?"
Fu Yunyi tilted his head slightly, subtly pursing his lips, thinking to himself, "My uncle won't come looking for me. It's a good thing he even remembers I'm still here."
However, Fu Yunyi would not say such things directly to Fu Chi's face.
Although Fu Chi certainly wouldn't hold it against him for saying those few words, the innate hierarchical pressure made it difficult for Fu Yunyi to act recklessly in front of Fu Chi.
However, since Fu Yunyi didn't say anything, Fu Chi himself didn't feel there was anything wrong with saying it, and was quite straightforward. "No, I'm here to pick up Xia Zhiyi."
As he spoke, Fu Chi added politely, "I won't interfere in Fu Yunyi's affairs."
Fu Chi spoke these words sincerely.
Generally speaking, as long as Fu Yunyi doesn't do anything bad, anything immoral or that might damage the Fu family's reputation, Fu Chi won't interfere.
Fu Yunyi enjoys a high degree of freedom in this family. Fu Chi doesn't really understand why his nephew acts like a mouse seeing a cat every time he sees him, since he hasn't done anything to him.
Xia Zhiyi smiled and said, "Yes, A-Chi is here to pick me up. Director, if you and Yunyi have anything to discuss, don't worry about us."
"I'll be staying here quite a bit for the next few months, right? Since A-Chi's coming over, I was thinking of showing him around the area. Is that alright?"
The director quickly replied, "Of course, of President Fu is an investor in our program, so it's only right that he checks out the environment."
Xia Zhiyi: "Okay, is there anything else the director wants to tell me? If not, I'll take A-Chi for a walk around the base area first."
Director: "That's all for now. I'll contact you if anything else comes up."
Xia Zhiyi then looked at Fu Yunyi: "Then, Yunyi..."
Fu Yunyi didn't want to be a third wheel, so even though he had already finished talking to the director, he still said, "I have something to discuss with the director."
Xia Zhiyi: "Okay."
Fu Chi: "Work hard."
Fu Yunyi: "... Understood."
As the two turned around, Fu Yunyi noticed something out of the corner of his eye. He paused, opened his mouth as if to call out to them, but swallowed the words back down his throat.
Only after the two figures disappeared from sight did the director ask curiously, "What did you just see? I Teacher Fu you looked like you were about to call for someone, but you didn't. What's wrong?"
Fu Yunyi had a complicated expression on his face. "Did you see their hands?"
Director: "I see, they're holding hands."
As he spoke, the director, thinking Fu Yunyi was worried about something, explained, "Don't worry, I'm not that old-fashioned. Even the marriage law has been passed in China; there's nothing shameful about dating properly."
"Although I can't imagine myself holding hands with other men, I can accept it if a couple just holds hands."
Fu Yunyi: "... I didn't say that. I meant they were wearing rings."
The director asked, puzzled, "Isn't it normal for couples to wear rings?"
Fu Yunyi: "... Never mind, you wouldn't understand."
I looked down, pulled out my phone, and quickly sent out a message.
On the other side, Xia Zhiyi, who had just come downstairs, felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. She took it out, glanced at it, and chuckled.
Fu Chi: "He posted it?"
While replying to the message with one hand, Xia Zhiyi smiled and said, "Yeah, Yunyi has good eyesight; he saw the rings on our hands and asked me what happened."
"I'll talk to him."
It sounded like he was asking for Fu Chi's opinion, but it also sounded like he was making a statement.
Fu Chi a soft "hmm," his gaze fixed on Xia Zhiyi, unaware that more and more people seemed to be passing by.
Or rather, even if he noticed, he wouldn't care.
Xia Zhiyi, on the other hand, noticed the contestants and staff who seemed to be just passing by by chance after replying to the message. It was a bit funny, but everyone pretended to be just passing by, so he didn't call them out.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see the big stage at the back first, and then we'll go check out the dance studio."
Fu Chi: "Okay."
While the two were touring the base, a piece of information on the internet quickly caught the attention of netizens.
