Chapter 410: Chapter 409: I’ll Wait for You at Home (2)
Xia Siyu had been seductive and charming before, but that was acting. The audience couldn’t tell, but he, a veteran in the entertainment industry who had known her for many years, could distinguish it at a glance.
But now, he was sure that her innate charm was gradually beginning to disperse.
Some say that a woman peaks at eighteen. Both tender and spirited.
But there is a type of woman who slowly begins to radiate an enchanting charm around the age of thirty. Xia Siyu was the latter.
Qin Baizhou didn’t want to wait anymore. He knew Bo Yan was pursuing her, and perhaps they even had a physical relationship.
But only he could help Xia Siyu continue on!
In the following days, Bo Yan was busy and so was Xia Siyu.
Soon, the day of the script reading arrived.
This wasn’t Xia Siyu’s first script reading. During her last one for “Storm”, because she didn’t oppose any of Shang Feifei’s demands, she was seen as a pushover, thought to be mindless, with others casually making requests.
In the end, Xia Siyu performed brilliantly, silencing her doubters. And it wasn’t just within the crew that she proved herself, but even the reporters who were following the shoot saw it.
This time, Xia Siyu had also done a lot of preparation. She was determined to act well, watching the materials and films provided by Bo Yan.
She and Bo Yan had been apart for several days at a time. Sometimes she was in Yancheng, and he went to other places. Sometimes when he briefly returned, she went to other cities.
That’s the life of a celebrity, besides filming in one movie town for months without leaving. Even if there’s no filming, there are other events to attend.
There are hardly a few days in the whole year to be together.
However, without Bo Yan at home, she slept extraordinarily well, sprawling comfortably on the big bed, rolling however she wanted.
She didn’t have to constantly match wits with him, and even her breathing felt more at ease.
The last time Qin Baizhou and Xia Siyu participated in a variety show for agents, their pairing was highly praised. So, when the show approached them again, Qin Baizhou quickly renewed his contract to appear with her.
The script reading took place after Qin Baizhou and she participated in the variety show for agents together.
Qin Baizhou planned to pursue her, so recently, whenever he had the time, he would follow Xia Siyu’s schedule. Luckily, they both had this collaboration on the variety show, which gave them topics to talk about, preventing boredom.
Although they had worked together before, the nature of their work was different. Xia Siyu was the one in front of the camera, responsible for looking beautiful on stage. In contrast, Qin Baizhou worked behind the scenes, paving the way for her. Although they were cooperating, their different perspectives led to some divergence in views.
But this time, by appearing in front of the camera with her, Qin Baizhou realized just how challenging the life of a performer truly was.
Even though they had a script for interviews, many interviews with celebrities are live, and there’s no editing possible. Natural responses can’t be controlled. Despite having a general direction, one slip of the tongue or an improper gesture could result in thousands of harsh criticisms.
In the variety show, he had to look after her without appearing too competitive. He needed to be clever with good stamina and use skill, not brute force. Moreover, he couldn’t be too close nor reveal his feelings for her, to avoid negatively impacting her.
