Chapter 543: Chapter 542: The Edge (6)
Xia Siyu could hear too, but since no one had called her specifically, she was happy not to get up.
Song Fengzhi woke up shortly after, and Wei Jingjing, who tended to be more alert while sleeping, also woke up. Including Bo Yan, there were a total of seven people. Wei Jingjing and Song Fengzhi just came to deliver water and then left. Bo Yan poured hot water from the thermos for them, while Sun Wujiu looked around. Hmm, patches on the walls, a cramped space, no separate washroom, no bathroom; they had to use the one built outside. The water supply came from a well, there were few electrical appliances in the house, the cave dwelling was warm in winter and cool in summer, so there was no air conditioning. The TV was in the homeowner’s room, and this house didn’t have one either.
Although the house was clean, the conditions were indeed somewhat harsh. Sun Wujiu smiled, picked up a cup, and drank some water, “Getting used to living here?”
Bo Yan nodded, “Pretty good.” If you all hadn’t come, I would have enjoyed it even more.
After watching Wei Jingjing leave, Sun Wujiu lowered his voice, his chin gesturing toward the direction of Xia Siyu’s room, “And her, getting along okay?”
Bo Yan took a sip of water and casually “hmm’d” in response, “Nothing bad or good.”
His tone and expression just didn’t seem like he was involved with Xia Siyu in any way.
Sun Wujiu was then reassured, “That’s good.”
Even though Xia Siyu initially said she wanted to endure hardship and insisted on coming to a difficult place, he was still a bit nervous about leaving her there.
This person had a volatile temper, and if something happened, he would not know how to handle it.
Bo Yan thought for a moment and then added, “By the way, I went to Hope Primary School, and visited the orphans and widows in the village to show some love, using the crew’s name. This isn’t for publicity, nor am I trying to create a persona; just letting you know. After all, coming here and not helping out feels wrong.”
He wanted to clear things up about him and Xia Siyu, so if, in the future, their conduct got too intimate and hit the internet, at least he had something to fall back on.
It was a good deed, and no one would refuse to take credit, so Sun Wujiu nodded, “Yes, I didn’t consider that either. Indeed, we have inconvenienced the locals, so we should do what needs to be done.”
There are many stars who do charity work, and indeed some do it to create a persona or for publicity, but Bo Yan’s explanation seemed reasonable, so he had no suspicions.
Sun Wujiu had come today not to disturb him. The props team at the film center was almost ready, and they needed to set up the village for outdoor shots, especially the corn and wheat fields, which had to be arranged in advance. They were here for location scouting for the outdoor scenes.
Not only that, but the costume designer had also arrived. In the next few days, they would focus on preparing outfits for him and Xia Siyu and run makeup trials.
In the coming days, even though the crew hadn’t officially started filming, the production team would be moving into the village and might often disturb them, ending the quiet days they had before.
In fact, Bo Yan was well aware that the days spent there were stolen moments of leisure. Furthermore, Xia Siyu had given up quite a bit of work in Yancheng, squeezing time out from Qin Baizhou’s arrangements. Current stars were busy flying here and there to make money, barely able to find the time or opportunity to experience life.
Sun Wujiu and the others didn’t see Xia Siyu until they left that evening, and once they were completely gone, Bo Yan finally pushed open her door.
