Chapter 709: Chapter 706: Swimming (6)
“Miss Xia, good evening.”
Xiay Siyu looked up and recognized the guy with glasses. He was wearing a casual white shirt, looking quite genteel, seemingly having taken a special effort to bathe, as his body exuded a faint scent of shower gel and shampoo.
Xia Siyu couldn’t be bothered with him; they weren’t close, so what was there to say? Besides, he was still Shang Feifei’s rumored boyfriend, and she needed to avoid any semblance of impropriety. Moreover, Bo Yan was waiting for her in the room. They had agreed that she would return early, but now it was already eleven o’clock. She still had to pretend to be highly diligent, humbly accepting the director’s walkthrough of the scenes, not uttering a single unpleasant word, for fear of giving herself away.
It was just a relationship, but it felt like a secret underground party meeting.
Still, she had her basic manners, so she lightly replied, “Good evening.”
Without giving him another glance, she intended to bypass him.
Having taken just a couple of steps, the guy with glasses called her, “Miss Xia.”
Xia Siyu simply shook her head, “Any matters, let’s talk tomorrow, I’m a bit tired now.”
Having said that, she hurried along in her high heels, rushing to her door like she was on fiery wheels.
At her room’s entrance, Xia Siyu slowed down, took out her room card, and gently swiped the door open; the room was dark, as if unoccupied.
After Xia Siyu inserted the room card into the power switch, the electricity came on, and the room was tidy with the curtains drawn and the air conditioner starting up, looking as though no one was there.
Xia Siyu even peeked into the bathroom, hmm, no one there either.
Feeling a bit puzzled while walking forward, she prepared to call Bo Yan. Where could he possibly have gone late at night? It couldn’t be that he went looking for another woman, right?
Just as she reached the room via the corridor, Bo Yan, who had been hiding on the side, waited to scare her deliberately.
Xia Siyu indeed jumped in fright, nearly dropping her phone. Once she recovered, she began to pound his chest with her little fists, “Why are you so annoying, so annoying! You scared me to death, do you know that? I thought you had left.”
While Bo Yan endured her punches, he embraced her; and by the time she finished speaking, he held her tightly and even kissed her, “Who told you to make me wait so long? I’ve been waiting so long the flowers are wilting, okay?”
Xia Siyu was still hitting him, “But you can’t just scare me! Are you wrong or not?”
Bo Yan smiled, “I’m wrong, I’m wrong. My dear wife, I’m at fault.” He stooped down and picked her up sideways, taking a deep breath. But suddenly he paused and asked, “Wife, did you come into contact with a dog outside?”
“What?” Xia Siyu was taken aback, and Bo Yan added, “I mean someone else. Did you meet someone just now?”
He did have a nose like a dog’s, having participated in a survival summer camp in Europe and America as a child, and was very sensitive to scents.
Xia Siyu carried the smell of cigarettes and beer, and also men’s cosmetics and perfume. This was normal, as she went straight to the director after filming, with neither she nor any of the male actors or director having had the chance to take a shower.
But beyond that, there was a hint of the aroma of shower gel and shampoo.
After thinking for a moment, Xia Siyu nodded, “I saw Shang Feifei’s boyfriend when I got out of the elevator just now.”
It was that guy with glasses—Bo Yan took note. He wasn’t about to let a messy person ruin their lovely evening. He immediately carried Xia Siyu to the bathroom, “There isn’t any scene at the pool tomorrow, right? Then, can I be a bit happier tonight?”
