Chapter 806: Chapter 797: Close at Hand (1)
Xia Siyu said the rumors were all fake, which immediately livened up the atmosphere in the room.
The second male lead also stood up: “Hey, Siyu, I chased you so hard in the drama, and it lasted for two whole seasons! My affection for you is clear as day. Why don’t you just say yes to me?”
The leading male actor got annoyed: “Go away, go away, don’t you understand the concept of first come, first served?”
The lead actor from the neighboring drama team also joined in the fun: “Who cares about first come, first served in love. Fate sometimes just doesn’t make sense. So how about the guy from the drama team next door, me?”
“Yeah, Siyu, do you really have a boyfriend?”
Wei Jingjing immediately put down her chopsticks upon hearing this question, she had to stop Xia Siyu from speaking nonsense! As everyone knows, once she gets drunk, she’s bound to tell the truth! No matter what she’s asked, she’ll spill it! Even though everyone present was from the industry and had a habit of keeping secrets, there was no telling who might secretly record this and post it online. If her relationship with Bo Yan went public, that would spell trouble!
She was anxious as hell, wanting to stop her, but how could she?
But Xia Siyu was all smiles; she was a bit wiser this time: “You want to know about my boyfriend? Why should I tell you?”
“Ah, ah, when people say it like that, it usually means they’ve got someone. You’ve been played,” the director also fanned the flames on the side.
Xia Siyu glared: “Who said I have a boyfriend? That guy hasn’t come to my side yet!”
Indeed, she didn’t have one.
She only had a husband.
Unfortunately, her husband was far away.
At her words, the whole room burst into laughter and excitement. Everyone thought she was speaking metaphorically, not realizing she was actually telling the bald truth.
Wei Jingjing had a relieved expression, thankful that Xia Siyu had the smarts to not blurt out her own romantic affair at this moment. It was all her fault, really; if she had known this one was going to binge drink, she would’ve prepared some hangover remedies early to prevent her from making a fool of herself.
Fortunately, afterward, Xia Siyu didn’t spout any more nonsense and just sat in her seat.
Wei Jingjing hurried over to take care of her but found that this one was busily sending texts nonstop. When Xia Siyu drank too much, she always had this habit of making relentless calls and sending a barrage of messages. She had to quickly see who the unlucky victim was and make sure nothing inappropriate was sent.
Just as she peeked over, she saw that Xia Siyu was sending WeChat messages—dozens of them in a row. The contact was nicknamed “Cabbage-Pushing Pig.” Looking at this poor guy’s profile picture, hmm, it looked familiar. Wasn’t that Bo Yan?
After Xia Siyu said the line, “He hasn’t returned yet,” perhaps feeling a bit stifled inside, or maybe because her drinking competitor Shang Feifei was feeling the mood as well and didn’t continue the challenge, Xia Siyu then bombarded Bo Yan with a torrent of messages.
“Jerk, when exactly are you coming back?”
“Can’t you finish earlier and spend a couple of days with me?”
“If you don’t reply, I swear I’ll go find a boy toy tomorrow!”
“You might as well not come back. Stay cozy with your leading lady!”
“Boo hoo, I want to go back to Sicily with you.”
She sent so many messages, yet the other party didn’t give her a single reply. Xia Siyu kept on sending, all the way until their dinner gathering ended. Wei Jingjing was helping her out, and Xia Siyu was still lowering her head, furiously sending WeChat messages.
Once everyone stepped outside, the cold wind blew but did nothing to dissipate her drunkenness—on the contrary, it further roused her emotions. At that moment, someone shouted, “It looks like your boyfriend is coming over.”
