After Xu Chen contacted Xia Zhiyi, he asked if Xia Zhiyi had deliberately spread the news.
Xia Zhiyi smiled, "I just didn't stop them."
Xu Chen: "... Are you going to go public?"
Xia Zhiyi: "Right?"
Xu Chen: "... Then I won't place any bets?"
Xia Zhiyi: "Let fate decide. Oh, by the way, I proposed to Fu Chi today."
Xu Chen: "..."
Xu Chen was silent for a while on the other end of the phone, then took a deep breath and asked, "Are you going to have an engagement party?"
Xia Zhiyi: "No, let's just go straight to it."
Xu Chen: "Oh, I almost forgot, you're almost of legal age, right?"
Xia Zhiyi: "Mm."
"So you need to start preparing for the wedding?"
Xia Zhiyi: "No need, A-Chi has been preparing for three years, and he has prepared almost everything he needs to."
Xu Chen: "..."
Should we invite the media?
Xia Zhiyi: "Do I look like such a high-profile person to you?"
Xu Chen understood. "Okay, I got it."
There's no need to suppress the news; it saves her the trouble.
Turning around, Xu Chen contacted Fu Yunyi and immediately launched into a barrage of questions. "Your uncle and your other uncle are getting married. Have you won over your girlfriend yet? When are you going to go public? Do you even want to go public? Give me an answer so I can prepare in advance. Don't surprise me like your uncle does."
Fu Yunyi: "..."
Fu Yunyi: "No."
Xu Chen asked in surprise, "Why haven't you won her over yet? Aren't you on good terms with Miss Gu?"
Fu Yunyi: "... She's busy, and I'm busy too. If you really want me to win her over, can you give me less work? Our schedules are completely out of sync; we've only managed to meet a few times by chance!"
Xu Chen said expressionlessly, "Your uncle is your own uncle. He manages such a large company and can still balance love and career. Why can't you?"
Fu Yunyi: "..."
Fu Yunyi was taken aback.
Fu Yunyi remained silent.
Fu Yunyi: "My uncle, he's not human."
Xu Chen; "..."
Xu Chen rolled his eyes. "Alright, my point isn't whether you've gotten a girlfriend or not, but if you're going to go public with your relationship like Xia Zhiyi, you should let me know beforehand. Don't catch me off guard; I don't even know if I should suppress the news."
Fu Yunyi: "Of course I'll go public with it! I already have a girlfriend, why wouldn't I?"
Xu Chen: "Whatever you say!"
Click, the phone was hung up.
Xu Chen muttered, "One or two of them. Luckily, I'm not managing idols, or I'd be driven crazy sooner or later."
Fortunately, both of her artists are talented and have ample connections and resources, so they don't need to rely on fans for a living. Otherwise, if they continued to mess things up like this, Xu Chen felt she would go bald.

Although someone took photos of Xia Zhiyi walking hand in hand with another man, they did not cause any public uproar as long as no one deliberately publicized them.
Xia Zhiyi's fans, who are always paying attention to their idol, saw the news because they followed her name. However, as long-time fans know, Xia Zhiyi a low-key style and doesn't have many female or male fans anymore. Therefore, they are not too upset about their idol's relationship and remain silent.
New fans are getting a little carried away and want to know if it's true or not, but under the influence of veteran fans, they remain silent despite being somewhat confused.
So, the paparazzi, who had expected to gain a lot of traffic from this news, were dumbfounded—wait, your idol has a boyfriend, aren't you even a little bit excited?
And what about those who enjoy watching other men date?
Where are they?
Where are those people who usually get all worked up at the slightest rumor, practically trying to make the fake seem real?
Why are you two so quiet this time, when a real, handsome, and very pleasing-to-the-eye gay couple showed up?
This is completely unconventional!
Xia Zhiyi's fans: No way, let's wait for the official announcement.
Fujoshi: Hmm... let's see. Teacher Xia's fans haven't said anything yet, maybe there's something fishy going on, like some gay movie or TV series being filmed?
It wasn't that there was absolutely no response, it was just that everyone was silent.
Paparazzi:...
Teacher Xia's online traffic is so damn hard to get.
Time flew by, and it was the day of the start of filming for " Boy Band ". The live broadcast room was turned on at six o'clock in the morning, and the program officially started recording at six-thirty. In this half hour, there was a short interview with several mentors.
[Here it comes! The early bird catches the worm!]
[Ahhh, Teacher Xia! Teacher Xia is really here to record a variety show! Even though it's a talent show, I'm so excited! Ahhh!]
[Wow, what's the point of having a martial arts instructor on a talent show? Is this a uniquely Xia Country talent show?]
[ Brother Fu! Brother Fu! Brother Fu and Teacher Xia are collaborating again! Hehehe, let's go together, senior and junior brothers!]
I thought the second season of the talent show was fundamentally different from other talent shows, but I didn't expect the third season to come up with even more new tricks. The qualifications of the contestants announced on the official website are really impressive; they all have some serious talent.
[ Yueyue!! Yueyue, I love you!]
[ Teacher Xia! It's been years! When are you going to take on another apprentice? Wang Chengran is so annoying, always showing off everywhere!]
[Speaking of which, isn't Fu Yunyi practically Xia Zhiyi's apprentice? Didn't he say on another show that Xia Zhiyi arranged his workout routine? Look at those abs, you can see them even through his clothes.]
Although the broadcast started in the early morning, fans of the show and the mentors who had already received the news had been waiting for a long time. As soon as the live stream started, the barrage of comments came flooding in, with hundreds of comments scrolling by so quickly that it was hard to see them all without sharp eyes.
Fu Yunyi, as a celebrity mentor, took charge of the event, flashing a youthful smile, "Good morning, everyone. I'm Fu Yunyi. This is the recording studio for the show ' Boy Band, Debut!'. We have half an hour before the official start of recording. Now it's time for the pre-show mentor interviews."
Having been in the industry for several years, although Fu Yunyi's main profession is acting, he has also appeared on quite a few variety shows, and he is quite good at managing simple events.
As Fu Yunyi spoke, he turned and smiled at the other mentors in their seats, "So, shall I do it, or will you do it yourselves?"
Xia Zhiyi smiled and slightly raised his hand. He considered himself the least senior person there, so naturally he should be the first to speak. "Let me do it. I'm afraid you might say something strange."
The two have a good relationship, so they can be a little casual at times like this, and the audience won't mind.
Fu Yunyi shrugged. "I wouldn't dare."
As he spoke, he took the microphone handed to him and handed it to Xia Zhiyi: " Teacher Xia, please."
Xia Zhiyi: "Hello everyone, I'm Xia Zhiyi, an actress. This time... well, I'm here to see if there's a chance to pick a talented apprentice?"
Fu Yunyi chimed in, "Oh, is that Third Junior Brother?"
Xia Zhiyi glanced at him with a smile and said, "You're not my apprentice either, so where did this idiot come from?"
Fu Yunyi exclaimed in surprise, "What? Aren't I the senior brother?"
Xia Zhiyi: "No, the senior brother is Wang Chengran."
Fu Yunyi: "..."
The others tried to hold back, but couldn't help bursting into laughter.
