Wang Chengran's shocked expression turned into one of utter bewilderment. "A child's tricycle? Isn't that completely harmless? Those things can't go very fast at all, so what could happen if you got hit?"
Wang Chengran pouted. "Could it be that you all wanted to participate in the show, so you stole my cousin's spot?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Kaiqi turned and glanced at him silently, then said quietly, "Do you think I care?"
Wang Chengran: "..."
sorry.
He's overthinking it.
Xia Zhiyi asked, "So, the accidental injury was quite serious, and you couldn't come?"
Although it may sound absurd, children's tricycles generally don't cause much harm, but it's not impossible that an accident could occur and the situation could become serious.
Hearing this, Wang Kaiqi looked at Xia Zhiyi. When their eyes met, she paused slightly, then gave him a gentle smile, "Ah, Teacher Xia, don't worry, it's not serious. He just twisted his ankle when he fell and is now limping. His family thinks that it wouldn't look good for him to come limping, and that he'd just be a burden to you, so they don't want him to come."
"It just so happens that the kid himself felt it was embarrassing to be on a TV show like this, so he asked me to come over."
Xia Zhiyi sensed that Wang Kaiqi's attitude towards him seemed a little different. He blinked and smiled, saying, "It's good that it's not serious."
Wang Chengran: "Oh, I see. He's quite sensible. I was originally thinking of having him come over to help with the work, but if he has mobility issues, wouldn't he just be here on vacation? I'd have to take care of him."
Wang Kaiqi: "... Wang Chengran, you really have no idol image to maintain at all!"
Wang Chengran: "... Huh?"
Xue Ranran couldn't help but chime in, "Does he even have that kind of thing?"
Wang Kaiqi paused for a moment, then nodded. "You're right."
For a moment, everyone couldn't help but burst out laughing.
With Xue Ranran's sudden response, the initially awkward atmosphere became much more relaxed.
Xia Zhiyi turned to Fu Yunyi and asked, "Are there two more guests? Brother Fu, you've worked hard just now. I've almost finished my work here, I'll go greet the remaining two guests."
If it were before, Fu Yunyi would have agreed after hearing Xia Zhiyi's words, but now that he was in the same space as Fu Chi, Fu Yunyi didn't really want to stay there.
There was no way around it. Although Fu Chi was only a few years older than him, Fu Yunyi had grown up in Fu Chi's shadow since childhood. Fu Chi was also his elder, and the bloodline suppression was no joke.
Fu Yunyi: "It's alright, I know the road conditions well, I'll go."
Xia Zhiyi wanted to say something, but seeing Fu Yunyi subtly wink at her, she swallowed her words and said with a smile, "Alright then, thank you for your trouble, Brother Fu."
Fu Yunyi: "It's not hard work at all."
After saying goodbye to the others, Fu Yunyi grabbed his umbrella and ran off.
Fu Chi: "..."
Xia Zhiyi walked to Fu Chi's side, smiled, and whispered, " Mr. Fu. Brother Fu, it seems you've frightened him quite a bit."
Fu Chi turned to look at him, his expression revealing little emotion. "He didn't do anything wrong, so there's no need for him to feel guilty."
Xia Zhiyi smiled.
Twenty minutes later, Fu Yunyi returned with the last two guests. After everyone gathered together and introduced themselves, they began preparing lunch.
Just then, the rain stopped, and Xia Zhiyi and several men moved the basins and other items to an open space.
Fu Yunyi's guest was his childhood friend, Gu Zhiyuan, who was also a wealthy young master. He dressed very modestly, but his every move and word exuded the kind of refined elegance that only the wealthy could cultivate.
A certain kind of charisma cannot be imitated.
But just as Fu Yunyi said, the friends he invited were definitely easy to get along with.
For example, right now, when Xia Zhiyi carried the table out, Gu Zhiyuan naturally came over to help, chatting with Xia Zhiyi as he did so. "I heard from Yunyi that he's been training with you lately. I'm staying here for a few days anyway, so why don't you invite me to train with you?"
Xia Zhiyi looked up at him, smiled, and said, "Okay."
Gu Zhiyuan: "But I'm not as good as Yunyi. Ever since he became an actor, he seems to make time to work out every day. He says it's part of an artist's professionalism, but I don't really understand. Anyway, I only work out once a week at most, so my stamina is probably not as good as yours."
Xia Zhiyi: "It's okay, the morning exercise isn't very strenuous."
Gu Zhiyuan smiled, "Ah, that's wonderful."
Gu Zhiyuan: "By the way, was that the guest you invited? I was quite startled when I saw that gentleman just now. I was wondering why Yunyi would invite me if he were here."
Xia Zhiyi that Gu Zhiyuan knew Fu Chi to some extent, so she wasn't surprised to hear this. After helping Gu Zhiyuan put down the heavy solid wood four-legged table, she adjusted it slightly and looked up to answer Gu Zhiyuan's question, "Ah, Fu Chi? I invited him. I didn't expect Brother Fu to be so surprised, but it seems he was more shocked than surprised. I didn't expect to scare you too."
Gu Zhiyuan waved his hand and said, "I was a little startled, but it's still a pleasant surprise to see Mr. Fu here."
"Actually, I have always admired Mr. Fu, but Mr. Fu has always disliked outsiders. I have only met Mr. Fu a few times by chance at some banquets, but I have never had the opportunity to talk to Mr. Fu much."
"It's an honor to run into you here."
His words were vague, but Xia Zhiyi based on the information she already knew.
Fu Chi... I guess he's the kind of person who basically doesn't see outsiders outside of work hours.
Oh, he probably only talks about work during work hours, and he'll coldly refuse anyone who tries to bother him with personal matters.
Hmm, thinking about it that way, it does fit his initial impression of Fu Chi quite well.
Just then, Fu Chi walked over with a kitchen knife, his face indifferent. " Xia Zhiyi."
Xia Zhiyi exclaimed "Oh!" and looked up. Seeing it was Fu Chi, she smiled and asked, " Fu Chi, what's wrong?"
Fu Chi Jingjing at his smiling face for a while, his eyes deep and dark. Although his face didn't show much emotion, it inexplicably gave Gu Zhiyuan a sense that... he only had Xia Zhiyi in his eyes.
From Fu Chi's perspective, the situation is actually quite similar.
Just as he had told Xia Zhiyi before, for some reason, Fu Chi's eyes could only see color when he saw Xia Zhiyi Xia Zhiyi and the area around her.
In a gray and white world, Xia Zhiyi stood out so conspicuously in his sight that it was as if he were the only living being in the world.
Fu Chi found it hard not to notice him.
It's also difficult to look away from him.
