Chapter 530: Chapter 529: From Young to Old (5)
Even if they hadn’t seen Xia Siyu’s movies, her commercials were everywhere. Practically any TV channel you turned on likely featured products endorsed by her.
Even those who rarely watched TV had to admit she was beautiful. Most of her classmates were upperclassmen who already had a fully developed sense of aesthetics. Even if she wasn’t wearing makeup or dressed up, and even though she’d just been moving books and was a bit dusty, she still stood out with her beauty.
Not to mention these kids from the mountains, even if you dropped her in the most fashionable center of Yancheng, her looks would still turn heads a hundred percent of the time. Wasn’t Qin Baizhou drawn to her because she stood out on the street for her beauty?
A few kids who might have seen her movies suddenly got excited and pointed at her face, “I recognize you, you are…”
Before they could finish, Xia Siyu put her index finger to her lips with a “Shush,” then pulled up her mask.
But it was too late for her to pull up her mask now, as the students at the entire table and those nearby had seen her. As everyone knows, when one child creates a disturbance, it can spread. One child shouted, and others’ gazes inevitably followed.
Even though she “Shush”ed them, excited students still exclaimed, “I know you! You’re that celebrity!”
Xia Siyu shushed again, this time her “shush” was loud enough to be heard.
But it was no use, another child said, “That’s her, that’s her, I’ve seen the commercials she’s in!”
“Yes, yes, I’ve seen them too!”
The dining hall was only so big, and when the children started to fuss, the people sitting at the main table noticed. The Director of Teaching asked, “What’s all the noise about? Is there no discipline left?”
A teacher from their table, probably the homeroom teacher, looking embarrassed, stood up and said, “Sorry, I’ll go over and calm them down.”
The male teacher glanced over in Xia Siyu’s direction. He had come to the school through a teaching program in the previous two years, and he was sure when his gaze swept over, even with Xia Siyu wearing a mask, there was still a hint of confusion, “Huh?”
A little boy pointed at her and said, “Teacher, I recognize her, she’s been on TV.”
The situation was getting out of control, and Xia Siyu stood up, hitting the table. “You all, what have you seen? Didn’t you see me shushing? Why can’t you just eat quietly without making me angry?”
There was no hiding it now; Xia Siyu took off her mask, and so did Bo Yan. He stood up and said, “Sorry for the disturbance, I’m Bo Yan.”
Xia Siyu also spoke up, visibly annoyed, “Xia Siyu!”
For a few seconds, the room went silent.
Then, it was the teachers who were more excited than the students.
Bo Yan, Xia Siyu, those were huge celebrities! Half of these teachers were original staff, the others were from a teaching program. The older ones were okay, but the younger ones, who hadn’t heard of Bo Yan and Xia Siyu? They never expected to meet celebrities today, and live ones at that!
The teachers burst into excitement, with some of the younger teaching program participants dashing over immediately, while others who were slightly more mannered gave a quick “Sorry” to the Director before sprinting over at an 800-meter dash speed.
Just moments ago, Wei Jingjing and Song Fengzhi were receiving the VIP treatment, now they were left in the cold. However, they didn’t mind and quickly rushed over to protect the celebrities, shouting, “Don’t push, don’t push!”
Especially since the majority of teaching program participants were female, the crowd around Bo Yan was impenetrable.
