Chapter 573: Chapter 572 Discovered (4)
“Is that Xia Siyu? Really Xia Siyu? A living one?”
“Fake, right? How could Xia Siyu take a hard seat?”
As Xia Siyu’s mask was removed, she was suddenly exposed in the crowd and immediately surrounded by the excited onlookers beside her. She only had Qin Baizhou by her side, and the camera crew and other staff who hadn’t seated with her, couldn’t reach her and were just anxiously watching.
Her first thought upon being surrounded was, fortunately, she had Qin Baizhou with her and not Bo Yan. Otherwise, even if she had mouths all over her body, she couldn’t have made herself clear. The train had arrived at the station, but none of the excited crowd wanted to disembark; they were all surrounding her.
After the train arrived, train attendants would usually guide people to orderly exit, but not a single person left this particular carriage, and more and more people were gathering. Thankfully, this was the last stop. Had it been a midway station, she feared the entire carriage would be taken away by the train.
Some train attendants squeezed through to maintain order, “Don’t push, let’s exit one by one!”
The problem was, everyone was indeed pushing, but no one was exiting; instead, they were all squeezing towards her as if she were the center of a circle.
Those in the front were somewhat okay, but those in the back probably had no clue what was happening. Yet, our country’s people have a herd mentality, seeing others crowd around, they too wanted to join the spectacle. Some who had disembarked the train even turned back to have a look.
Moreover, these green-skin trains were not like high-speed rails; high-speed rail carriages might contain only so many people, but green-skin train carriages could hold several times more passengers than those of high-speed trains.
The train attendants had managed to squeeze onto the carriage with great difficulty, all the while asking, “What on earth happened?” If there had been some kind of accident, the consequences would be serious.
Someone ahead replied, “Don’t know. Something about Xia Siyu or whatever.”
Last night, when checking tickets, the attendants hadn’t paid much attention. Now hearing someone mention it, they were taken aback for a moment: “Xia Siyu, the celebrity? Why would she be here?”
Even if she had to take a train, it should be on a high-speed rail. Even for their type of train, it should be a soft sleeper, not a hard seat carriage. Besides, the railway bureau hadn’t received advance notification, and there were no bodyguards or assistants following her, making it obvious that even if she attended any event, it was informal.
Could they have gotten it wrong?
Just as they pondered this, people ahead cheered, “Siyu, Siyu, give me an autograph!”
“Let’s take a photo together!”
“Wow, I touched Siyu’s arm!”
The train attendant, who was initially confused and stern-looking, finally couldn’t resist: “Me too!”
An hour later, Xia Siyu finally made a disheveled exit from the train station, and it was only with the combined effort of the whole train’s conductors, attendants, and the local ground staff that they managed to rescue her.
After all, she was a top star. Although there were many online who criticized her, even those who didn’t like her online, upon seeing her in person and so close nearby, would instantly come up asking for an autograph or such.
Half an hour later, photos of her being surrounded on a regular train went viral on Weibo.
But the mother holding the child, on the other hand, wasn’t quite convinced that this person was truly Xia Siyu.
After all, not to mention the capricious and temperamental Xia Siyu known for throwing tantrums, even if she were an ordinary celebrity. How could such a celebrity help her change a diaper, or comment on her own movie without batting an eyelid or breaking a sweat?
