Chapter 667: Chapter 664: Separation (6)
Bo Yan wrapped his arms around her slender waist, his face tinged with a faint blush. His peach-blossom eyes hooked slightly, brimming with endless waters, as if holding limitless affection, “You want to hear? I’ll tell you. The name of that poem is ‘Dreamlike Melody’…”
“A night of wild winds and rain, thick with revelry, not knowing when dawn will come; dew drips onto peony hearts, tender joints melt, unable to stir. Affection deepens, affection deepens, all within a dream of Hua Xu.”
The poem is good, the story is good, and the person even better.
Bo Yan felt that Xia Siyu still had much to learn. Although it wasn’t necessary to hunker down in school, if she wanted to go further, some knowledge was essential.
Acting, besides one’s own insight, required studying to portray richer, more layered characters. Especially for ancient roles, it wasn’t enough to just learn the appearance, one also had to gain a deeper understanding of the inner aspects.
For instance, she could watch more of “Romance of the Western Chamber,” “Peony Hall,” “Three Words and Two Shots”…
However, the ladies in these dramas are always shy and bashful, waiting in their boudoirs for the scholar to climb the wall. But Xia Siyu is different, she would carry a knife, like a swordsman, and if she saw a handsome man, she’d climb the wall herself.
Xia Siyu’s flight was early, taking off at 7:30 am. It took an hour from the hotel to the airport, plus time for washing up and preparing, and considering traffic jams and other factors, she had to get up at 4:30 am.
For a star, rushing between places is very normal. Last time it was Xia Siyu shooting a variety show, and this time it was for wrapping up a shoot.
Bo Yan always woke up before her. She had grown accustomed to it now; she would tell Bo Yan her schedule, he would arrange everything, and Xia Siyu could always stay in bed until the very last second.
As expected, when the alarm went off at 4:30 am, Xia Siyu didn’t budge. Or rather, she was already awake, just that she could dally a bit longer and didn’t want to leave yet.
Last night, the two of them started playing around as soon as they got back to their room, from nine o’clock straight through to the early morning. They hadn’t packed anything, and their clothes were scattered all over the floor.
Bo Yan had no choice but to get up first. After washing up, he started packing her luggage.
Though aloof, he had been taking care of himself since he was young, and was more meticulous than the careless Xia Siyu. Moreover, he packed quietly and didn’t turn on the main light, so as not to disturb her beautiful dreams. When it was 4:50 and Wei Jingjing came to hurry them, he bent down to kiss her, “Time to get up, if you don’t we’ll really miss the flight.”
Only then did Xia Siyu get out of bed, stretching languidly and extending her arms. That meant she wanted to be hugged; she didn’t want to get up herself.
She was his own wife after all, so what could he do but dote on her? Bo Yan picked her up and carried her to the restroom, making her sit on the toilet seat, and even squeezed the toothpaste for her.
As she brushed her teeth, he took the opportunity to step out, turned on the main light, and made one more round in the room to check if anything was left behind. She often tossed things around carelessly, so even the corners had to be checked meticulously.
Once Xia Siyu had washed her face, her mind began to clear. She casually applied some skincare products and was ready to leave, too lazy to put on makeup. With the standard outfits for going out nowadays being a hat plus a mask, nobody would see her face anyway.
Bo Yan, like a worried old father, packed her suitcase and made sure she had everything. When Wei Jingjing knocked on the door again, Xia Siyu, pulling her suitcase and ready to leave, was asked by Bo Yan, “Are you forgetting something?”
Accustomed to the routine, Xia Siyu turned around without a word, forgetting she was still wearing a mask, and “smack,” planted a kiss on him.
It was then that Bo Yan realized how he seemed like a young wife sending off her husband, while Xia Siyu appeared more like the husband setting off on a journey.
