Chapter 660: Chapter 657: Exposure (5)
Xia Siyu was delicate but not capricious, and she knew she was being moody with Bo Yan. As soon as Bo Yan softened a bit, she couldn’t be bothered to stay petulant. However, Bo Yan, compelled by the entire crew to apologize, was somewhat reflective, “I really never thought that one day I’d be forced by others to apologize to my wife.”
Puffing out her chest with pride, Xia Siyu declared, “Of course. I’m good-looking, I’m nice, and everyone loves Xia Siyu.”
Bo Yan was speechless; this girl’s confidence was through the roof, claiming everyone loved her when she had the most haters among female actors!
But amidst his happiness, he felt a twinge of jealousy. Forget about Wang Zisu, that brown-noser; even Director Sun joked, “If I weren’t married, I’d definitely pursue you!”
Bo Yan had countless female fans, with many fantasizing about being Mrs. Bo every day.
As for Xia Siyu, she was the same; people who liked her really liked her, and those who didn’t, particularly hated her.
Having a wife too attractive was also a kind of helplessness.
The day she finished her scenes, everyone in the crew felt melancholic. Genuinely melancholic. Although the second and third male leads, as well as Bo Yan, were still there, with the drama’s leading flower gone, the flavor just wasn’t right without a male and female lead together.
Moreover, Xia Siyu was no ordinary flower; her beauty was impeccable, second to none in today’s entertainment industry. If it weren’t for her beautiful face, she wouldn’t have remained unshaken despite having so many haters.
Thus, Director Sun hosted the dinner, with the second and third male leads taking the lead, and everyone had a good meal together. Although Bo Yan was usually aloof, he wouldn’t miss out on such an occasion. After a few rounds of drinks, a bunch of repressed male actors started toasting to Xia Siyu.
Xia Siyu, bold and generous, refused no one — after all, she only took a sip for each toast, and it was just beer.
Bo Yan watched from the sidelines, all too aware of Xia Siyu’s tolerance. This girl would be tipsy on one bottle, drunk on two, and ready to ascend to the heavens with three, like a skyrocket monkey.
The other male artists also knew Xia Siyu’s limits and wouldn’t force her to drink under normal circumstances. But as she was leaving, they weren’t going to get her drunk maliciously, but they did want everyone to have a good time.
The second male lead lamented sorrowfully, “It’s so sad, why can’t I chase after you in the drama, nor catch you in real life?”
The third male lead pushed him aside and toasted Xia Siyu, “I’m the true tragic one, okay? You were born before I was, I was born when you were already old. No chance in this lifetime.”
Bo Yan also took a sip, his temple throbbing. Xia Siyu was younger than you, what’s this ‘I was born when you were already old’? No wonder Xia Siyu doesn’t like you guys but likes me, a scholarly student. Go read more books.
Then there was Director Sun, who spoke more practically, “I’ll look for you when I have a good script in the future.”
That was the real deal. Yu Fenfei and Sun Wujiu were from the same camp and liked to stick with familiar faces. Xia Siyu left a good impression this time, and they would think of her in future opportunities.
After everyone in the crew had their turn, Director Sun didn’t forget to nudge Bo Yan, “Bo Yan, go and offer a toast.”
It was common knowledge that Bo Yan and Xia Siyu were on bad terms. Everyone thought he wouldn’t budge, but to their surprise, he lifted his eyelids, walked over calmly, and clinked his glass with hers properly, “It’s been a pleasure working with you.”
Xia Siyu looked up at him, her dewy eyes blinking, then she also raised her glass and downed her drink in one go.
This was their unspoken agreement, a sign that tonight, Bo Yan would be staying over.
