The next day, Xia Siyu was woken up by the noise from downstairs.
She groggily climbed out of bed, reached out to draw the curtains, and peered down from the window.
The live broadcast had not yet started, but the production crew was already at work, cameras in place. The footage being shot now would later be included in the PLUS version for members.
When she looked out, she saw Bo Yan, Shang Feifei, and Li Yiru in the yard.
Bo Yan was dressed in sportswear. Despite arriving late the night before, he was very alert and woke up instantly the moment the production crew arrived.
Entertainers have the consciousness to spruce themselves up for the camera, even when lacking sleep. He simply changed his clothes and started exercising.
After all, he was abroad in Italy and not quite familiar with the vicinity, so he didn’t venture far for his run. Instead, he strolled nearby before returning and was now doing some stretching exercises.
Li Yiru had been holding back her frustration. Having just arrived yesterday, she was not only unfamiliar with the place and hesitant to act up, but also struggling with jet lag. Shang Feifei wouldn’t fall for her tricks either; the two maintained a polite facade, but it was just surface-level peace.
With Bo Yan around, she felt like her opportunity had come. Li Yiru had faced rejection from Bo Yan multiple times, so she was well aware of his disinterest in her.
But she understood a principle: Bo Yan was the traffic, the camera, and the topic of conversation. Being closer to him meant more camera exposure for her.
Though she joined the program for the money, she had received a message from her agent that there were twenty million people watching the live stream online. The program had just gone live and had already trended several times. Xia Siyu, with her outstanding performance, had once again dominated the trending searches.
The hashtags #XiaSiyulnstantNoodles, #XiaSiyuSeasoningPack, and #XiaSiyuItalian were trending the highest. Despite the ongoing backlash against her online, her performance the previous day indeed earned her a wave of goodwill.
Wanting to stand out, Li Yiru knew Xia Siyu wouldn’t cooperate with her, neither would Shang Feifei, and she didn’t dare to leech off of Wang Zisu’s popularity, leaving her with only Bo Yan to exploit.
As soon as Li Yiru got up, Shang Feifei, who shared a room with her, naturally woke up as well. She went through a similar thought process but had the pride of a female celebrity. Having been rebuffed by Bo Yan, she couldn’t bring herself to fawn as shamelessly and obsequiously as Li Yiru did.
Shang Feifei wasn’t fond of Xia Siyu either. After all, they were of similar age, and although their acting roles slightly differed, there were bound to be clashes. Even without Bo Yan in the picture, they were natural competitors, and they had been in overt and covert conflicts while filming.
Seeing Bo Yan exercising, Li Yiru hurriedly changed into a sporty outfit. She too wore sportswear, but opted for a low-cut, tight top and short hot pants. Emerging with a radiant smile, she stretched lazily, accentuating her voluptuous chest: “Hmm… Good morning, Teacher Bo. The weather is so nice today, perfect for a morning workout.”
From the second floor, Xia Siyu closely observed and judged their outfits. Although Li Yiru’s chest could barely be considered a C-cup, she had a long waist and slightly thicker legs. Shang Feifei, on the other hand, kept it simple with a T-shirt and jeans, appearing naturally refreshing and ensuring her presence in front of the camera.. Xia Siyu was pondering how the scene with the two women and one man would unfold when Bo Yan suddenly looked up, his gaze accurately locating her at the window: “You’re up?”
