Chapter 574: Chapter 573 Discovered (5)
And she even criticized her own acting as not being good enough, claiming that she liked to sensationalize things.
Yet, it was only when she saw the toy her child was playing with, the one with “Xia Siyu” written on its tail, that she believed it.
Originally, this mother who brought her child was just a passerby to Xia Siyu, at most a casual hater who disapproved of her excessive self-promotion. However, after encountering Xia Siyu, who appeared simple, approachable, bare-faced beautiful, and kind-hearted, her opinion changed drastically, turning her from a casual hater to a casual fan.
She posted the story about Xia Siyu taking care of her child the night before online, and with Qin Baizhou’s influential promotion, it instantly became a hot search topic.
But when her Weibo post trended, there were many haters mocking her in the comments. Some said she was “bragging”. How could Xia Siyu possibly take care of her child, change the nappy, and even take out the trash for her?
Many of these haters were Bo Yan’s fans. Bo Yan’s fans and Xia Siyu were always at odds, and this post even mentioned that she still had “hostility” towards Bo.
Not to be outdone, the mother replied to each comment, and posted the toy Xia Siyu gave to her daughter as proof, only to be ridiculed even more. The haters turned this mother from a casual fan into a die-hard fan.
Other Xia Siyu fans were not to be outdone either, and they started posting pictures from other passengers on the train that day. Eventually, the program’s official Weibo account released a video, which showed Xia Siyu helping to take out trash, critiquing movies—not only did she critique Bo Yan, but she also admitted that she lack acting skills, loved to hype things up, and only had a pretty face.
This triple strike entertained the public, especially attracting a large number of casual fans. It’s rare to see such a refreshingly natural, unpretentious, and self-aware tsundere female. Plus, the official video also proved that Xia Siyu really is a beautiful and kind-hearted young woman, and people’s impression of her kept climbing.
Starting from the live reality show “Flowers and Grass”, to Li Weiyi’s harassment, being detained and awaiting trial, and up to now, Xia Siyu had gradually changed the public’s perception of her.
Although there was still a lot of sensationalism, and there were various negative news, at least she was no longer associated with “bad character”.
From what we can see, she was quite self-aware, realizing that her acting was not good and that she needed to improve. For many viewers, stars are too far removed from their lives. Although they have a desire to peek into the private lives of celebrities, it’s really just a bit of gossip for their leisure time. In truth, how the stars live their own lives doesn’t really matter to them.
But when stars fail to do their own job well, many people can’t stand it. Such as acting for actors, singing for singers, dancing for dance performers.
They just hope that Xia Siyu can really improve her acting as she has claimed.
As for her hostility towards Bo Yan… that’s a private matter between two actors, perhaps due to a clash of auras.
Of course, Xia Siyu was unaware of all these messy affairs. After fleeing the train station, she still had to take a several-hour ride to the program crew’s designated checkpoint. Xia Siyu, having stayed up all night, fell asleep as soon as she got on the shuttle bus and didn’t wake up even when they arrived at the destination. After getting the card, while waiting for the other guests to arrive, Xia Siyu went back to sleep in the car, completely knocked out.
When the other guests arrived, the crew woke them up at noon to start preparing lunch.
The moment there was food, Xia Siyu woke up instantly.
