Chapter 618: Chapter 615: A Second Bloom (5)
It seemed as though there was no distance between these two, just like a couple deep in love. The adoration, joy, excitement, and contentment in their eyes were impossible to conceal, oozing out of the screen with thick affection.
However, as soon as the director shouted “Cut,” that gaze instantly turned to one of disdain.
The first day of shooting finished safely, and they stayed at the hotel within the film and television center that night. Bo Yan didn’t stay next to Xia Siyu; there were several rooms between them, but both had the best accommodations on the same floor.
The film city in the Northwest was rather small, unlike Hengtian Film and Television Center, where twenty or thirty productions would be shooting at the same time, bustling with actors all gathered together. Here at this film center, including “Spring Light,” there were at most three or four productions, none as high-profile as “Spring Light.”
The production had a limited budget, and even though Bo Yan and Xia Siyu’s joining brought in considerable investment, it was only enough for shooting the film. If they wanted to stay in nicer rooms, they would have to pay out of their own pockets.
Previously, when checking the information in the provincial city, only Bo Yan and Xia Siyu were staying on that floor, and it was still the same now. He arrived early, a month in advance. In Xia Siyu’s absence, when she took leave to return to Yancheng, he had Song Fengzhi rent out the entire floor.
When they returned to the hotel in the evening, Director Sun and other crew members first met in Bo Yan’s room. Midway through the meeting, they called Xia Siyu from her room, which was four or five doors down. After discussing the requirements for the next day’s shoot, the two went back to their rooms separately.
The whole separation process was smooth, and none of the staff suspected anything about their relationship. After they left, Bo Yan confidently walked into Xia Siyu’s room.
Since he had rented out the entire floor, he wasn’t worried about the paparazzi sneaking in.
But the paparazzi were not a problem, nor were the film crew. The problem was Xia Siyu.
She was very annoyed about Bo Yan’s backstabbing during the interview that day. Even though she was the first to “stab,” and she knew that Bo Yan’s remarks were to distance their relationship, she was just not pleased!
At first, Bo Yan didn’t notice her anger. After finishing up in the bathroom, he emerged wearing only a bath towel and saw Xia Siyu still sitting with her back to him, which he thought nothing of. It wasn’t until he placed his hand on her shoulder and Xia Siyu shook it off ruthlessly that he sensed something was amiss.
Xia Siyu not only shook off Bo Yan’s hand but also moved away when he tried to sit beside her. Bo Yan paused, seeing her scowling, looking as if she had a deep grudge, pouting and puffing up like a little goldfish, which was somewhat amusing but also vexing. He quickly moved closer, but as he shifted his position slightly, Xia Siyu moved away again. Bo Yan squeezed in closer, and Xia Siyu shifted again. She was almost at the edge of the bed, ready to fall off before she finally turned her head, her gaze sharp: “Don’t touch me, go away!”
She said, extending her hand to push him away.
Bo Yan caught her hand and promptly apologized, “My fault.”
Xia Siyu lifted her chin slightly, “What exactly did you do wrong?”
Bo Yan couldn’t remember what had annoyed her, so he simply said, “I… didn’t abide by the ‘three obediences and four virtues.'”
Mentioning that of all things actually broke Xia Siyu’s anger, and she burst out laughing. She quickly felt that it was inappropriate to laugh and coughed to regain her sternness: “Are you going to do it again in the future?”
