"I think I can see now," Xu Xiuhe said.
During their discussion, he had begun to vaguely make out blurry figures on the television. Gradually, he could see people's faces clearly.
"Really? How many is this?" Shen Lv seemed even more excited than Shen Yin.
He jumped off the sofa and ran in front of Xu Xiuhe, holding up two fingers.
"Two."
"Wow, that's amazing! You really can see! This is incredible."
Shen Yin was also excited. Had he finally regained his sight?
"Daddy, how many is this?" The little one held up three fingers.
"Three."
"He really can see! He really can see! This is wonderful." Fang Yue was overjoyed from the bottom of her heart. If he had remained blind, how would they have managed in the future?
After so many days, no one could be happier than Shen Yin.
The Spring Festival Gala continued playing on TV, but none of the many people in the living room paid any attention to whether it was good or not anymore.
Early the next morning, many people learned that Xu Xiuhe's eyesight had returned to normal. When Liu Bo heard the news, he was ecstatic - he finally wouldn't have to work overtime anymore.
"Liu Assistant, because of my situation, your wedding was delayed. I'll arrange your wedding for you."
Liu Assistant was speechless...
New year, new beginnings. After the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Rong City began to resume work and production. Xu Xiuhe also returned to his post.
Shen Yin hadn't been to her studio for a while because she had been taking care of Xu Xiuhe, but fortunately, the group of young women at the studio were quite capable.
Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
And that set of Chinese-style furniture had been bought by someone for 5 million yuan.
When Kang Guopeng learned that the furniture he made had ultimately sold for 5 million yuan, he still couldn't believe it. Only when he received his share of the profits did he understand that everything Shen Yin had said before was true.
Because Shen Yin had been quite busy lately, the Martial Arts Club classes had been suspended for several weeks. Fortunately, the basic skills of the dozen or so girls were already quite good. Shen Yin had a new idea: with technology being so advanced now, she could record videos of herself practicing martial arts and send them to the girls.
Their first stage had already ended, and the choice was in their hands now. If they wanted to continue learning, they could follow the videos. If they didn't want to, there was nothing she could do about it. In six months, she had taught them the basics, which should be enough for self-defense.
Thinking that the new year might be busier, Shen Yin composed a long message and sent it to the Martial Arts Club group chat.
The group members had no objections. About half were willing to continue learning from the videos, while the other half felt they had learned enough and didn't need to continue.
Shu Yi and Qi Ji were both in this group chat. When they saw this message, they both thought Shen Yin was planning to have a second child.
They immediately called Shen Yin, who laughed when she heard this. Had she ever hinted that she was planning to have another child? It didn't seem so. How had these two come to that conclusion?
Although Fang Yue had reminded her several times, both directly and indirectly, to hurry up and have another child while she was young so that Zheng Zheng would have a companion, Shen Yin still felt it was too early.
"What about you? Are you joining a new production after the New Year?" Shen Yin changed the subject.
"I've agreed to do a variety show," Shu Yi replied.
"'I Just Want to Be With You' is about to end, right?" Shen Yin asked.
Shu Yi made a sound of agreement.
Shen Yin had been too busy to follow the drama, but Qi Ji was different. She was super free every day, even to the point of dragging Ye Rong to watch Shu Yi's urban romance drama with her. Of course, they had to support their good friend's TV series.
Little did they know before watching, but once they started, Qi Ji became obsessed. It didn't seem at all like what Shu Yi had described before. Neither of them seemed to be acting - Chang Zhiyuan must be using public funds to date.
At first, Qi Ji was worried that people online would criticize Shu Yi's acting skills for not being able to keep up with Chang Zhiyuan. After all, Shu Yi had often complained to them about how Chang Zhiyuan would improvise and change the script.
But now that it had been edited, you couldn't tell at all. The drama was hilarious. In the show, Shu Yi often blushed and looked flustered when being flirted with, but that was exactly the effect they wanted.
In the drama, Chang Zhiyuan was Shu Yi's boss. When netizens found out that in reality, Chang Zhiyuan was actually Shu Yi's top boss, they went crazy with excitement.
This was like a TV drama come to life!
Especially when they learned that Chang Zhiyuan had never acted before, they became even more convinced that he had only acted in this drama to pursue Shu Yi.
Most netizens were shipping the real-life couple. Damn, it was too sweet! They heard that it was the first on-screen kiss for both of them. It was killing everyone with sweetness.
During the winter holiday season, Shu Yi became popular again, directly entering the ranks of current top actresses.
There were even many people urging them to get married in her Weibo super topic.
[When will the civil affairs bureau be sensible and come to them? It's already come to this, why make the newlyweds go there?]
[Wow, that's so detailed. They must be real. My CP must be real. That moon wasn't a prop prepared by the crew, it was made by the male lead himself over several days and nights.]
[I heard this male lead has dated quite a few people before, changing partners every month. Is that true?]
[To the person above, shut up. According to the information I have, that's all in the past. How can changing partners every month be true love?]
[Alright, alright, everything you say is correct. They're real, okay?]
[Some crew members have revealed that the male lead is indeed pursuing the female lead, but whether he's succeeded or not is another matter.]
Chang Zhiyuan gained quite a few fans because of "I Just Want to Be With You". Many people sent private messages asking if they were really together.
His leg had just healed, and that woman Shu Yi only appeared when working. At other times, she was completely missing in action. When she saw him, she acted just like she was seeing her boss - strictly professional, with no other expressions or extra words.
Shu Yi was the same. She didn't reply to these kinds of private messages. The TV drama was the TV drama, and reality was reality. You had to distinguish between them and couldn't generalize.
But the drama was too popular, and there were too many CP fans. The super topic never stopped trending. Even her parents came to ask if it was true, and if the reason she had shut herself at home every day during that period was because of a breakup.
Who could blame them when their on-screen chemistry was so natural? The more people shipped them, the more invested they became. Shu Yi's parents were also caught up in it.
They would occasionally ask about Chang Zhiyuan's current situation, persistently inquiring if they had ever been together.
Shu Yi was feeling annoyed and didn't want to return to Ziyue Manor, so she asked her agent to find her a role. There weren't any suitable acting jobs available at the moment, but there was a decent variety show - an entertaining, comedic, and relaxing one. She could participate in that to unwind, so she agreed.
There were still two days before she had to join the production team. Shu Yi packed her things early in preparation. Qi Ji had been holding back all this time. She also stumbled, but knowing their current situation, she hadn't told Shu Yi that she was pursuing this drama series.
