Chapter 561: Chapter 560 Missing Him (6)
“Are you not convenient to answer the phone? Sorry, I was caught up with Director Sun yesterday, preparing for the filming. Didn’t get to sleep until five in the morning, and I only just woke up.”
At five in the morning, when she woke up, Bo Yan had just gone to bed. He probably thought that Siyu was still fast asleep at that time, so he didn’t call her.
Now it was around eleven a.m., which meant he had only slept for six hours yesterday.
Xia Siyu replied with a bit of haughtiness, “Who cares when you sleep or wake up, what’s that got to do with me?”
Although her words seemed cold and heartless, the furrow in her brow eased somewhat as she typed. Clearly, her anger toward him had gradually dissipated.
Bo Yan, probably used to getting scolded, didn’t feel hurt by such words, and he even replied, “No big deal, just that I missed you.”
“I…” Xia Siyu paused slightly when she saw those words.
When Bo Yan had confessed his feelings before, he had also said, “I miss you.” He didn’t ask when Siyu would return; as a fellow artist, he understood the unpredictable lifestyle. He didn’t ask about the specifics of her work hardships, since Siyu’s tone had said it all. She still had the energy to be angry with him, which meant she was doing alright for the time being.
Besides, she had Qin Baizhou by her side. While he disliked Qin Baizhou, he had to admit that Qin Baizhou genuinely cared for her and wouldn’t let Siyu be taken advantage of in their work. Even if the work was exhausting, he would fight for Siyu’s best interests.
“Then go miss me,” Siyu said, surprising even herself with the tone word she used, indicating her good mood.
Unknowingly, her relationship with Bo Yan had steadily moved beyond what she had initially set as friends with benefits, to something deeper.
“Make sure to eat well. Even if work is tough, don’t mistreat yourself. Keeping in shape is important, but your health is even more so.”
One of the main reasons he indulged Siyu in eating lamb during this time was to nourish her. Actors had it easier in the summer, but in the winter, filming and attending events could inevitably lead to catching colds, and Siyu, originally so healthy, was now suffering terrible menstrual pains.
But in the depths of the mountains, he couldn’t find a skilled traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to prescribe her medicine, so he could only opt for dietary nourishment. Lamb was warming by nature, and when balanced with cooling foods like white radish or kelp, making soups or mixed salads, it could prevent her from getting too ‘heaty’ from the nourishment.
Though maintaining a certain figure is a basic requirement for an actor, it shouldn’t come at the expense of their health.
Siyu didn’t care about that; she was a foodie. Whoever made her happy with food, she leaned towards them. But now she started to tease Bo, “Qin Ge said I’ve gotten quite plump recently, so I should start eating salads to slim down.”
Bo Yan understood what Qin Baizhou meant and teased back, “It’s okay, you can gain weight. I like it when you’re chubby; it’s more comfortable to hold. If you really put on weight later, I’ll take care of you.”
“Who needs you to take care of me!” Xia Siyu hated Bo Yan’s overbearing tone the most. She was an independent individual with career aspirations; she didn’t need his financial support.
“Alright then, our Siyu is the best, so I guess I’ll rely on you to take care of me in the future.”
Xia Siyu promptly responded, “Pfft, shameless, expecting a woman to provide for you. How disgraceful.”
Unconsciously, the gloominess in her heart had been swept clean.
