HUFT Chapter 45

Chapter 45

“How do you feel?”

Chi Nan was the first to step forward and ask after Fu Chaoyun woke up. Little Zhu followed, poured a glass of water for Fu Chaoyun, and placed it in his hand. Fu Chaoyun first drank some water to moisten his throat before speaking.

“I’m fine, sorry for worrying you.”

Fu Chaoyun shook his head, then looked at Chi Nan apologetically.

“Is the matter resolved?”

“It’s resolved. Su Xi has been handed over to the police. I already contacted the production team to tell them not to look for her anymore. Little Zhu called Fu Shi to let her know. It’s good that you’re okay, you scared me to death.”

Chi Nan still felt lingering fear. If Uncle Fu hadn’t given him the address, he really wouldn’t have known what to do.

“Sorry.”

Fu Chaoyun felt deeply sorry. He was already 27 years old and had seen all kinds of tricks in the industry for so many years, yet he still fell for Su Xi’s scheme. He didn’t ask Chi Nan about Su Xi’s current situation. Using disreputable methods was never the right path, and it would be punished by law.

“It’s just that Su Xi took photos when you were unconscious, but they’ve already been destroyed.”

Chi Nan told Fu Chaoyun that Gu Jingnan had told him this. It wasn’t anything honorable, so they were directly destroyed. It was best not to have any photos circulating.

“She really dared to touch my bottom line.”

Because of Su Xi’s incident, the production team definitely couldn’t use her anymore. However, with the second episode approaching filming and no one else available, the production team gave them a week to rest and posted an announcement on Weibo, stating that filming would be delayed by a week. The netizens were confused until a trending video quietly climbed up the ranks that night. The video seemed to be secretly filmed, and the quality was blurry, but it was vaguely recognizable as Chi Nan. The video content was Su Xi and Chi Nan shouting at each other.

Uninformed netizens directly attacked Chi Nan. Chi Nan didn’t understand why he, a civilian, would receive so much criticism, and before the matter was even investigated, these netizens began to feel indignant.

【Chi Nan-nan】Don’t throw any dirty water on me.

Chi Nan angrily posted a Weibo, and more and more people began to attack him. Chi Nan couldn’t bear the attacks from the netizens, so he set his Weibo to a state where comments and private messages were disabled. Su Xi’s fans were the most vocal in their abuse. Chi Nan, a civilian, didn’t have many fans, and not many people spoke up for him.

It wasn’t until an official video was released that these people quieted down. The video was a blurry image stating that a certain actor surnamed Su had attempted extortion and other egregious acts. The official account also @Chi Nan, stating that Chi Nan was a public-spirited citizen and should be commended.

The people who had initially criticized Chi Nan all admitted their mistake. They were just following the crowd and siding with whoever seemed to be in the right. The uninformed netizens who didn’t understand the situation at first began to apologize to Chi Nan, but some of Su Xi’s fans stubbornly refused to admit their mistake, saying that there were many celebrities with the surname Su in the industry.

In the end, it was the “Who is the Most Outstanding” production team that announced the termination of their contract with Su Xi, and some people stopped scolding and silently admitted defeat.

Fu Chaoyun rested in Huai Hai Apartments for two days. Because of this week off, Fu Chaoyun also told Chi Nan that he lived on the 23rd floor. Chi Nan exclaimed that it was fate, and he never expected that they would be in the same building.

Fu Chaoyun used the Fu family’s influence to investigate the matter of the photos and film and ensured that Su Xi had no chance to recover, ensuring that the photos would not be leaked.

One day, Fu Chaoyun finished work early and called Chi Nan to ask what he wanted to eat.

“I’ve been craving hot pot lately, but the hot pot restaurants outside always have long lines. Why don’t you come over to my place, and I’ll make hot pot for you?”

Chi Nan excitedly said to Fu Chaoyun. He could feel that Uncle Fu’s pressure seemed to be very high recently, and this was a good opportunity to ease his mood.

“Okay, then I’ll go back in a while. Do you need any ingredients?”

“I’ll go to the supermarket downstairs to buy them. Just be careful yourself.”

After Chi Nan hung up the phone, he went to the supermarket downstairs to buy some ingredients. This was Uncle Fu’s first time coming to his house for dinner, so he definitely had to show off his cooking skills. When Chi Nan was a fan, he learned what flavors Uncle Fu liked, so he took things that Uncle Fu liked and put them all in the shopping cart.

After buying everything, when he returned home, Uncle Fu was already waiting at the door.

“What are you doing standing at the door, being punished?”

“Waiting for you.”

When Chi Nan pressed the elevator button, he saw Uncle Fu wearing a mask and leaning against the wall on one foot. If you knew he was waiting for someone, you might think he was a model doing a street shoot.

Fu Chaoyun and Chi Nan entered the door. After Chi Nan put the things in the kitchen, he took a tablet and prepared to give Uncle Fu a surprise.

“What are you hiding, so mysterious?”

Fu Chaoyun saw the thing in the little guy’s hand at a glance.

“A gift for Uncle Fu, I don’t know if you’ll like it.”

“I like anything you give me.”

Chi Nan took out the tablet, then brought up two portraits he had drawn, one was a handsome and suave Fu Chaoyun looking sleepy, and the other was a chibi version of Fu Chaoyun.

“I don’t know which style you like, so I drew two, and I don’t know if you like them.”

Fu Chaoyun carefully looked at the little guy’s paintings and liked them very much.

“But isn’t someone missing from this painting here?”

Fu Chaoyun’s finger pointed to the upper right corner. The place where someone was missing was Chi Nan, but Chi Nan didn’t draw himself. Wasn’t drawing just Fu Chaoyun good enough?

“If I drew myself, it would give it away.”

“I like it very much.”

Then Fu Chaoyun sent the picture to himself, saved it, and directly logged into Weibo to change his new avatar. He also changed his WeChat avatar to the cartoon version. Chi Nan watched Fu Chaoyun change his avatar simply and neatly, and he was also very happy. Such an inexpensive gift was treated so preciously by Uncle Fu.

“I’m going to wash the vegetables.”

After Chi Nan gave the gift to Fu Chaoyun, he returned to the kitchen to wash the vegetables. Fu Chaoyun was bored sitting alone, so he went to the kitchen to help Chi Nan. Fu Chaoyun felt good watching Chi Nan busy himself. It seemed like he had a home. It would be nice if the home also had a dog and a cat.

Fu Chaoyun sighed. He didn’t know when he could live such a life. If there was such a day, he would retire from the entertainment industry, cook with Chi Nan, walk the dog, and the two of them would have three meals a day, four seasons a year. That kind of peaceful life. Fu Chaoyun seemed to have already thought about what his old age would be like. At this time, a bell rang, breaking the silence.
