Chapter 624: Chapter 621 Hatred (5)
From what she could see, she’d exceeded the task by a wide margin.
Both of them had performed excellently. Originally, Director Sun had a few ideas he wanted to add, but Bo Yan and Xia Siyu did so well that he found himself with nothing to add, aside from feeling a bit sore in the legs.
When he called “cut,” he even patted Bo Yan on the shoulder with a sentimental touch, “You two coming a month early to get familiar with the surroundings was truly a great decision.”
Their coordination was simply perfect!
If one didn’t know that Bo Yan and Xia Siyu weren’t on good terms, just by looking at their performance, one would think they were madly in love.
By this time, the sun had set and the light was no longer sufficient, so the crew could pack up for the day. Director Sun even suggested, “Let’s go have a drink together. We’re not shooting tonight anyway, and you’ve worked hard today.”
Xia Siyu was the first to object, “Director Sun, I want to go back and rest. There’s no shower in our courtyard, and heating water for a bath is very time-consuming and laborious.”
Director Sun didn’t insist; he turned to Bo Yan. Bo Yan gave a wry smile, “Director Sun, spare me, please. Do you know how far I walked this afternoon? How about letting me rest and gather my energy for shooting tomorrow?”
When it came to their afternoon shooting, Director Sun laughed too, “You boy, even the girls didn’t complain about being tired; what are you fussing about? Alright, alright, seeing your condition, I’ll let you off tonight, but we’ll come back for drinks in a few days!”
Bo Yan nodded. In public, he and Xia Siyu appropriately maintained their distance, getting into their separate nanny vans to go back, one following the other, without any private conversations.
But the moment Xia Siyu arrived back at the courtyard, even before getting out of the car, she caught the rich aroma.
It was lamb, her favorite cumin lamb, lamb soup, spicy lamb spine!
Xia Siyu quickly jumped out of the car and saw that the cook in the courtyard was an assistant from Bo Yan’s team. He smiled, “Brother Yan had me go to the market this morning to pick out some premium lamb meat; it should be ready soon, just wash your hands and you can eat.”
Although initially too tired to walk, the scent immediately revived Xia Siyu.
She hurried to change her clothes and wash her face, looking incredibly eager.
When Bo Yan arrived, she was already obediently seated on a small stool with her bowl and chopsticks ready.
The host was there too, but Bo Yan was calm. He didn’t say anything intimate but instead turned to the chef to discuss, “You didn’t buy any fatty parts, did you? Though we need to replenish, we can’t eat too much; it’s too fattening. If I hadn’t walked such a long distance today and wasn’t so tired, I wouldn’t have chosen this.”
Liar, he had sent someone to pick the meat in the morning, long before he knew he’d have to walk so far in the afternoon. He had actually prepared it for Xia Siyu.
However, no one in the courtyard called him out, and when everyone sat down to eat, Xia Siyu grabbed several pieces of meat and stuffed them into her mouth, feeling utterly blissful.
To hell with all that body sculpting and dieting; she’d almost turned into a rabbit.
However, Wei Jingjing still kept an eye on her, and after she grabbed her eighteenth piece of meat, Wei Jingjing resolutely removed all the meat dishes from the table, leaving her with only vegetables to eat.
Xia Siyu was utterly resentful. If she’d known she’d be left with nothing but vegetables for her last bite of meat, she would have grabbed more. Now, she didn’t even have soup—it was downright cruel!
When she looked up, she saw that an extra dish with several chunks of meat had appeared next to Bo Yan!
While others were not paying attention, she snatched a few pieces, then a few more. Bo Yan acted as if he saw nothing, continuing to chew his food slowly.
