Although Fu Yunyi didn't finish his sentence, Xia Fu Yunyi was quick- Xia Zhiyi and had spent a lot of time with him, so she was able to understand his thought process to some extent.
Fu Yunyi still harbors doubts about his relationship with Fu Chi.
And the wild imagination might even veer towards some kind of blood relation!
Xia Zhiyi was speechless. She raised her hand and poked Fu Yunyi's waist to signal him to come back to his senses.
Fu Yunyi: "No, I, um, you guys... what exactly happened? My memory shouldn't be wrong, right? Like, someone secretly deleted a year or two of my memories or something..."
Xia Zhiyi: "... What are you thinking about?"
Honestly, after spending so much time together, Xia Zhiyi felt that the male lead Fu Yunyi in the story was a completely different person!
Although some preferences seem to have remained largely unchanged, but...
Fu Yunyi: "But I really don't understand!"
Xia Zhiyi helpless, but she was still thinking about the auction. After hesitating for a few seconds, she said, "I'll explain to you when we rest tonight. I'm a little worried about the situation at the auction."
"Didn't you need to use the restroom? Go quickly and come back soon."
Fu Yunyi: "... What's there to worry about at the auction? Given what happened before, even if this stool sells for 0 yuan, it should at least fetch 1 yuan. It won't affect people's attention on you."
"My uncle... Oh right, I haven't told you yet, that person just now, Fu Chi, is actually my uncle, my biological uncle."
Xia Zhiyi: "I understand."
Fu Yunyi nodded, feeling that there was no need to explain the relationship, and continued, "My uncle just said you're my junior brother, does that mean you've signed with Tianhuan?"
Xia Zhiyi nodded. "Mm."
Fu Yunyi stroked his chin, thinking this was actually a good thing, and his mood brightened instantly, revealing a smile, "That's great! This way, it'll be much easier for me to find you in the future, right?"
"I don't know which agent you'll be assigned to, but with my uncle's approval, your treatment will definitely be good."
"Of course, we at Tianhuan treat everyone well. I don't mean to brag, but after looking into other companies in the industry, I can say that artists at Tianhuan are definitely treated like royalty."
Xia Zhiyi blinked.
She blinked again.
Fu Yunyi thought he didn't believe him and opened his mouth to say something, but when he met the boy's innocent and childlike face, he belatedly realized that the person in front of him was only eighteen years old.
At this age, in Fu Yunyi's eyes, who has already entered society, he is still a child.
Although they are not much different in age.
Fu Yunyi: Suddenly I felt a sense of responsibility as an adult!
So the words that were about to be spoken were swallowed back down.
Fu Yunyi thought to himself, "Anyway, Xia Zhiyi has already signed with Tianhuan and is now my junior brother. If anything happens, the company will protect him, and if all else fails, I'll be there for him. He might not encounter those unpleasant things, so it's best not to talk about them and affect his mood."
Fu Yunyi held a somewhat simple belief that as long as he didn't know about bad things, his mood wouldn't be affected.
Well, that's equivalent to it not existing.
Perfect!
Thinking this, Fu Yunyi coughed lightly, managing to smooth over his previous statement. "What I meant was that Tianhuan values the health of its artists quite a bit. There won't be any situations where they work for dozens of hours straight without rest, unlike some companies that only care about money and have even had cases of artists dying suddenly."
Xia Zhiyi: "That's good."
Let's just pretend we didn't hear the awkwardness in Fu Yunyi's words.
But now is not the time for chatting.
Xia Zhiyi pushed Fu Yunyi into the restroom, while he stood outside and borrowed a phone from a staff member to remotely watch the live stream.
Perhaps because the two used the excuse of going to the restroom, or perhaps because Fu Chi had given them a heads-up beforehand, Xia Zhiyi and Fu Yunyi were relatively free since there were no photographers with them at the moment.
While watching the live stream, Xia Zhiyi asked the staff member next to her with a smile, "Is there only one left now?"
Staff: "Yes, according to the procedure, the auction is about to end."
Xia Zhiyi asked curiously, "After the auction, the money will have to go through some procedures before it's converted into supplies and delivered to the children, right? How long will that take?"
He smiled and explained softly, "I was thinking that school is about to start, and if it could be earlier, it would be a back-to-school gift for the children, and maybe it would make everyone happier."
Upon hearing this, the staff member smiled and said, "Don't worry, this time we're working directly with the official channels. Many of the procedures have been handled many times before, so the process won't be too slow."
"Because this auction is based on you and several other guests, therefore..."
Before the words could leave his mouth, the staff member realized he had almost revealed something and quickly stopped himself, saying, "Anyway, you can always ask Director Gong or Xiao Yang about anything that comes up later. We'll keep following up."
"The information will also be published on the website for public oversight."
Xia Zhiyi smiled and said, "Okay, I believe everyone genuinely wants to do some good deeds."
Let's just pretend we didn't catch what the staff member was implying.
It's just that these guests will likely have to participate in some segments later on, which isn't hard to understand; it adds some fresh content to the show.
Ultimately, they're still recording a show; they always need to film content that can attract other people's attention.
After Fu Yunyi came out of the restroom, the two returned to the scene.
It was quite a coincidence that the last item in the auction was also coming to an end at that moment.
Although the reason is unknown, the number of bidders suddenly increased in the final stage, causing the last stool to fetch an exorbitant price that it shouldn't have, but this money is a good thing for the children living in the mountains who are limited by their circumstances.
These were the thoughts Xia Zhiyi silently told herself.
Since it was already noon, Jian Zhu, at the suggestion of the production team, sped up a bit. So when Xia Zhiyi returned, she didn't exchange many pleasantries with the others before being pulled onto the stage to bow and thank everyone who participated in the auction.
After all the procedures were completed and the auction officially ended, the guests all breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Chengran: "Great! The auction has successfully concluded!"
Xue Ranran: "... I'm hungry."
My daily routine and meals have been very regular these past few days, so the sudden delay in my mealtime today makes the difference all the more noticeable.
As luck would have it, several people around us started having rumbling stomachs.
Most of them were staff members of the production crew.
Xia Zhiyi: "..."
