But after being here for so long, Fu Zhiyu was not really together with Xie Ke.
He has stayed in the system space for too long. Although the systems are very intelligent and he has people to chat with, it is still boring in the long run and his life feels monotonous and uninteresting.
Although he came to this world with a mission, after discovering Xie Ke, he probably guessed the intention of the world consciousness and was not so nervous anymore. This world was more or less like a journey for him, and he was much more relaxed than when he was in the system space.
The way he and Xie Ke get along is gradual and makes him feel comfortable.
When Xie Ke disappeared, Fu Zhiyu thought of him from time to time, but he couldn't tell whether this longing was primarily out of gratitude for him saving his life or out of love. In fact, the balance in his heart often tilted towards the former.
But even if this feeling could be considered gratitude, it was enough to change Fu Zhiyu's view of Xie Ke.
At least he could treat him with a normal attitude, and most of the time, he would not reject Xie Ke's kindness.
In fact, Xie Ke also realized that the person in front of him didn't seem to like him as much as he liked him, and he had never agreed to let them be together officially.
But this is also good.
He thought that there would be results one day, and even if there weren't, it didn't matter.
As long as this person is still by my side, it will be fine.
The two of them are now in an ambiguous and vague progress. Neither of them thinks there is any problem. Fu Zhiyu feels that he still needs time, while Xie Ke feels that this kind of sour-sweet feeling of having a layer of paper between them that has not been broken is also very good.
As expected, as long as the person is someone you like, everything you experience will become interesting.
Osmanthus candy looks like a simple thing, but when Xie Ke made it, it tasted just average.
"It's too sweet," he took a bite to taste it, and said to Fu Zhiyu honestly with a little regret, "It's not very delicious, it tastes like sugar. I'll ask the restaurant outside to send some over."
"No need to bother," Fu Zhiyu looked at them, "It's just the two of us, so we can just eat a little."
The two of them had a simple meal, and the table was filled with dishes cooked by Xie Ke.
Seeing his beloved eat the food he made bite by bite was enough to make Xie Ke happy and satisfied.
After Fu Zhiyu finished eating, he prepared to go back.
He no longer lived in the small villa he lived in at the beginning. Lin Yu had earned a lot of money, and he already had his own house under his name. After Fu Zhiyu came, except for the unexpected Xie Ke, most of the time, he naturally lived along the trajectory of Lin Yu's life.
After the contract expired, he terminated the contract with the small workshop company and established his own studio. He continued to release records. Lin Yu had a good voice, and Fu Zhiyu could adapt to it. Later, he got the opportunity to act, and he also seized it. Now he focuses more on acting. Compared with the attention of thousands of people as an idol several years ago, Fu Zhiyu is much more low-key than then. His works are more about quality than quantity. He lost a lot of fans, but his public recognition and favorability have increased a lot.
When he first came, he was not used to wearing a mask and a hat when going out, and he was almost doubting his life because of the crowds of fans. He learned his lesson now. He doesn’t have so many crazy fans, but there are still many people who show their face outside, pointing and asking for photos with him.
When he was leaving this time, Xie Ke mustered up the courage to stop him.
"Zhiyu, why don't you move here?" he suggested. "The security in your community isn't good enough. My place is quieter and safer. I don't mean anything special. If you feel uncomfortable, I can move out."
The security in Lin Yu's community is actually very strict, but he is still disturbed by fans occasionally. Xie Ke's villa halfway up the mountain is very independent and there is no community. The whole mountain belongs to him, and it is much quieter.
"This is your house, why are you moving out?" Fu Zhiyu took her scarf off the hanger and looked at him with a mixture of laughter and tears, "I'll go back first..."
Xie Ke was a little disappointed when he heard this. He felt that Fu Zhiyu probably didn't want to move in.
As expected, I still can't go any further. As he thought this, he comforted himself not to be anxious and smiled at Fu Zhiyu, showing that he fully respected his thoughts and was not disappointed at all.
Fu Zhiyu looked at this man and felt that he was visibly withering. His smile was very forced and he actually looked very unhappy inside.
He sighed and continued, "I mean... I'll go back and get some daily necessities and clothes, okay?"
Xie Ke was stunned for a moment, and then he was hit by the sudden surprise.
“Okay, okay, okay!” He almost jumped up, “I’ll call the driver now… No! I’ll drive the car over here now!”
Fu Zhiyu: “…”
There's no need to be so excited.
But when he went back to his house and looked around, he found that there was nothing worth taking.
He spent a lot of time living in the crew. When he was not filming, he spent a lot of time at Xie Ke's house. There was even more space for his clothes and other things at Xie Ke's house than at home. As for toiletries such as toothbrushes and towels, Xie Ke had already prepared them for him.
From this perspective, it seems that there is no difference whether to move there or not, it is just a matter of words.
In the end, Fu Zhiyu just carried a travel bag and that was it.
Living with Xie Ke seemed very natural, probably because the two of them didn't live in the same room yet, Fu Zhiyu accepted it well. Sometimes, he would be reading a script in the sun on the balcony, and Xie Ke would be working on his computer next to him, staring at him from time to time. Even if they spent an entire afternoon like this, he didn't feel bored.
Fu Zhiyu actually likes filming very much. It would be nice to experience things in this world that he has never experienced before.
The heroine and hero in this world are still living very happily, and their relationship with him remains that of ordinary friends. The script in Fu Zhiyu's hand was recommended by her.
This is a movie with a huge investment and an impeccable cast. The male and female protagonists have already been decided, both of whom are top in the industry. The script Fu Zhiyu is currently reading is for the second male lead.
Even though he is the second male lead, this role is very difficult to get, has a lot of scenes and a brilliant character. Fu Zhiyu is not the best choice in the eyes of the film crew, but it is not bad to have an audition opportunity, so he can try for it.
Of course, this is without going through Xie Ke's backdoor.
Xie Ke had been with Fu Zhiyu for a long time and knew this person's temper. He did not interfere in this matter. If Zhiyu needed it, he would tell him directly.
It would make him happier if I could act with him instead of sending him to the crew on my own initiative.
However, what Fu Zhiyu did not expect was that one of his competitors was Fang Rongyu.
Fang Rongyu's face hadn't changed much compared to a few years ago, but his personality had become much more cheerful. He was also surprised to see Fu Zhiyu coming.
When there were fewer people around, he came forward and greeted Fu Zhiyu politely: "Hello, aunt."
Fu Zhiyu: "...Don't yell."
Fang Rongyu looked at him in surprise: "Why? You and your uncle are not together yet?"
He and Zhou Yu got married early, and their marriage certificate was openly made public. The world is very accepting of homosexuality, and they received many blessings, so it was reasonable for Fang Rongyu to call Xie Ke "uncle".
"Didn't you come to our house on the old man's birthday? I thought that counted as meeting the parents," Fang Rongyu couldn't understand. "My uncle has told my family countless times that you are the one for me in this life. I thought you two had been together for a long time."
Fu Zhiyu shook his head and said, "No, we are... probably just friends now."
He was very confident when he said this, but when he said it, there was some inexplicable hesitation in his tone, and a "should" appeared.
Fang Rongyu looked at him with a very meaningful look.
"You're being called over there, go in for the audition," Fu Zhiyu felt uneasy at his gaze and looked away, "Don't be so nosy."
After the final audition result, the film crew chose Fu Zhiyu.
Fang Rongyu was also generous. He came over to congratulate him and even took some supplements from the nanny car and gave them to him, saying that Zhou Yu brought them and that eating more would be good for his health.
"I've seen your audition clip, and you're indeed better than me. I would choose you too." Fang Rongyu said. He didn't feel uncomfortable about losing to Fu Zhiyu, nor did he have any thoughts about Xie Ke. He knew in his heart that if Xie Ke had spoken up, there would have been no audition at all.
"You and Xie Ke... are actually quite suitable, but I can't say much about the matter between you two, you decide for yourself," Fang Rongyu couldn't help but talk about this with him before leaving, "He really likes you."
After Fang Rongyu's car left, Fu Zhiyu stood there, as if he was thinking about life. Then he spoke to himself, muttering to himself, "I know."
After joining the crew, life became much busier, but the filming location happened to be not far from Xie Ke's house. Before the location change, Fu Zhiyu could occasionally go back after filming.
He was already very cautious in his daily life, but maybe because this drama had attracted so much attention from the beginning, there were so many paparazzi following and taking pictures, and they used every possible means, so Fu Zhiyu was unable to guard against it.
Today, he was woken up by a call from his assistant before he even woke up.
Fu Zhiyu doesn't have an agent. He doesn't have many business activities, so he just chooses the roles by himself. But for convenience, he still hired an assistant. The assistant only follows him when he is filming and is not even aware of what is going on between him and Xie Ke.
"Something happened!" The assistant looked anxious and panicked, as if he had suffered a disaster. "Hurry up and take a look. The trending search has not dropped!"
The paparazzi broke the news last night. Fu Zhiyu took a look and found that it was not that explosive. It was just a photo of him and Xie Ke. He got out of Xie Ke's car, and the other party put a coat on him. The two talked for a while in front of the car. Fu Zhiyu turned and entered the crew. Xie Ke stood there looking at his back and left when he could no longer see him. Then he disappeared.
The next few pictures roughly showed that the car was driven out of Xie Ke's house, and the rest was left to everyone's imagination.
There are several explosive points in this incident. First, Xie Ke has a formidable wealth and is a young talent. He has always been well-known in the outside world, and countless people want to get close to him. Second, Fu Zhiyu is famous. He has almost no scandals and negative news in recent years. Suddenly this broke out, which also aroused people's interest. Third, it is this drama. Many people speculate that his role as the second male lead was obtained through secret manipulation, which is not very bright.
Anyway, there are all kinds of random comments.
Fu Zhiyu was quite calm. Before he finished reading the comments online, he saw many malicious comments quickly disappear, probably because they were deleted by the backend.
Did Xie Ke react too
Deleting posts is one thing, but Fu Zhiyu feels that when it comes to public opinion, it is better to channel it than to block it.
After a while, he also received a call from Xie Ke.
"Are you in the hotel?" His tone sounded anxious and worried. "Zhiyu, don't come down yet. There are too many reporters downstairs. There are also many more people following us today. If they keep following us, we can't continue filming. The production has been temporarily suspended. Let's talk about it after this matter is resolved. Wait for me in the room. I'll be there now and we'll talk in detail, okay?"
"Um."
He did not expect to cause trouble to the crew, and he would apologize to the director and the leading actor when the time comes.
Fu Zhiyu silently kept this matter in mind. He got out of bed, put on his clothes, and slowly washed his face. Then he heard a knock on the door.
As soon as he opened the door, Xie Ke came in and couldn't help but come forward and hug him.
I don't know where he came from, his coat was very wet.
"I'm sorry, Zhiyu," he said nervously, "I, I didn't pay attention at that time. I didn't know someone was filming there."
Fu Zhiyu thought about it, but didn't push him away. He patted his back and comforted him, "It's okay. This is not your responsibility."
Having said that, it did cause trouble to Zhiyu after all.
At first, Xie Ke wanted to clarify this matter on his official account. He wanted to tell everyone that Zhiyu was not trying to curry favor with him, nor was she being kept by him. He was just seriously pursuing Zhiyu for several years. Now that there was a little sign of it, he was afraid that it would be extinguished because of this incident.
Before he was about to send the message, he changed his mind and stopped. He thought if he sent it like this, would it also cause unnecessary pressure on Zhiyu? Xie Ke always couldn't help but think more about his sweetheart.
"Zhiyu, how do you want to solve this?" he asked cautiously, "I'll do whatever you say."
"Just explain it clearly," Fu Zhiyu didn't care at all and asked him, "Have you had breakfast?"
Xie Ke was stunned, shook his head subconsciously, and said, "Not yet."
"It's just right for us to eat together," Fu Zhiyu said, "Before you came, the hotel sent over breakfast. It's quite rich. I can't finish it by myself."
Xie Ke was a little dazed. He didn't know how the topic suddenly turned to breakfast. When the two of them sat down, he seemed to have guessed something. He opened his phone and secretly looked through Fu Zhiyu's public social account.
This account is rarely updated, and the number of posts a year can be counted on one hand. Fu Zhiyu's latest post has already made a positive response to this matter.
"Thank you for your concern. Xie Ke and I are currently trying to date each other."
