Xia Siyu was not one to be easily defeated. Even though her hands were held tight by him, she kicked her legs and twisted her body, struggling desperately, and he was just as determined not to let go.
The two of them fought fiercely, the atmosphere was tense. Bo Yan had the natural advantage, pinning her on the sofa and pressing down on her waist and abdomen to prevent her from using her legs. Xia Siyu was not the type to admit defeat. If she couldn’t use her hands or feet, then she would bite him!
She lifted her neck and bit down hard on his shoulder. Her bite was strong, causing Bo Yan to grunt, and his face soon showed a slight change, as if in pain.
Xia Siyu was feeling smug when suddenly, as she looked into his eyes, a flash of an image seemed to pass through her mind.
It seemed that at some point in the past, she had also bitten down hard on
his shoulder, in the exact same spot—
She hesitated for a moment and then released her bite. But as she did, Bo Yan, like a deflated balloon, lost all the strength in his supporting elbow, and collapsed on top of her as she let go.
They had tussled during the filming before, but at that time, she had been partly focused on acting, especially remembering the choreography of their movements. After all, it was just a scene, and even if the set was cleared, there were still people filming; it wasn’t a big deal.
In terms of intimacy, there was that day in the bathroom stall when he “helplessly” covered her mouth and they came into close contact because of a fall. But then, she had been more afraid of the people outside discovering their relationship. Although she felt embarrassed, it wasn’t too uncomfortable.
But today, even though there was no kiss, and at most it was just him falling on top of her, the sudden recollection of that past image made her entire spirit deflate.
Especially when Bo Yan collapsed, his head resting on her shoulder in a jumble and his breathing close to her ear. Her breathing was unsteady, and so was his.
Even though she couldn’t see his face or eyes, the sound of his breathing was clear, and because their bodies were pressed together, his heartbeat was distinctly audible.
Thump-thump, thump-thump-thump, the heartbeat grew faster. Like out-of-sync drumbeats matching the chaotic rhythm of her own heart. The more intertwined they were, the more it frustrated her. Despite the air conditioning, she felt hotter than when she sweated during filming, a sweltering heat.
She did consider pushing him away, but the thought hadn’t even left her mouth when all the strength in it seemed to be sapped away.
The doorbell was still ringing.
She knew, he knew, but neither of them paid any attention to it.
After the doorbell had been ringing for a while, it finally stopped, but at the same time, her mobile phone also started to ring continuously.
Xia Siyu finally caught her breath and softly said, “My phone.”
Bo Yan hummed a muffled “Mhm” in her ear. Although he agreed, he didn’t get up and still leaned on her.
After a while, just when she thought the phone would hang up, Bo Yan slowly stood up, and she answered the call along with him, “Hello?”
The voice on the other end was Qin Baizhou’s: “Siyu, are you okay over there?”
“Ah, sorry, I was just… uh, in the bathroom. I’ll be right over.” She answered in a low voice while straightening her hair.
When she looked up again, Bo Yan had already stood up. Perhaps because he got up too quickly, the script had fallen to the floor. He intended to pick it up, and as Xia Siyu also bent down to do the same, their fingers touched..
