Capítulo 1425: Chapter 1416: Turning Point (6)
For instance, zoning out during etings, secretly making phone calls, or sitting alone and suddenly laughing or feeling sad at the phone…
Moreover, she eats well and sleeps well, looking full of energy, not at all like the lonely wife crying every night because her husband is away.
However, Xia Siyu had always been carefree, except during those few days when she hit rock bottom—being criticized by the dia didn’t bother her, but a few remarks from Chen Fan’s parents did, leaving her feeling aggrieved instantly. Eating and sleeping well doesn’t prove anything, but her other behaviors were indeed a bit off, especially when she was avoiding Wei Jingjing.
Even though Xia Siyu and Bo Yan’s marriage was always kept from Wei Jingjing, she never hid her back-and-forth with Bo Yan. This ti, however, was different. When Wei Jingjing asked her what happened, she didn’t say anything and only ntioned that she might need to go ho on the night of the premiere.
Of course, Wei Jingjing also shared these things with Song Fengzhi, and Song Fengzhi inford Bo Yan.
Later, when Bo Yan called Xia Siyu, her response was very calm. How to put it, it was that “co if you want” attitude. She told him about the premiere event, but when he said he couldn’t make it, she didn’t press further—not asking whatsoever.
A sense of doubt lingered in one heart, but the question was hard to ask. The other acted deliberately mysterious, leading to no answers. The atmosphere was oddly quiet.

Soon, it was the day of the premiere.
“Youth 2” had been shelved for over half a year without being aired, but now that Xia Siyu had reignited her fa, the production team promptly organized an event to stir interest. Besides them, a few other stars were invited, such as Wang Zisu and acquaintances of the male lead’s side. Naturally, Bo Yan did not attend.
The film began, and it was indeed as Xia Siyu expected—the film was good. Though it was a sequel, it wasn’t closely connected with the prior film, more like part of a series. The script wasn’t outstanding but polished enough. Xia Siyu perford consistently, portraying innocence where needed, and displaying ample emotional build-up. Her acting was sturdy, thanks to her experience from starring in “Storm” and “Spring Light.” Her scenes did not disappoint.
Though it was just not disappointing. Urban love dramas like this are predestined to struggle to win awards. Yet from the audience’s reaction, the film’s reputation was decent—not stellar, around 7 to 7.5 points range—but good enough to be box office viable.
Not only did the film premiere, but many industry friends helped share it on Weibo during its promotion phase. Wang Zisu certainly shared it, Hu Juyue too, and other male leads and supporting actors from directors Xia Siyu had previously collaborated with, as well as friends from the “Spring Light” crew. Bo Yan and Shang Feifei were not among them.
The premiere and the excitent on Weibo ensured a decent first-day box office, combining pre-sales; it reached one hundred million by ten at night.
Yet, at ten, Xia Siyu was just dropped off at Qingcheng Apartnts by Wei Jingjing and Little Tang but ca down after ten minutes and drove away alone.
She noticed a car following from behind but didn’t mind it, heading directly to the pre-booked cinema.
Being fully disguised—dressed casually, wearing glasses, and with a mask—that late at night, few noticed her in the cinema. Xia Siyu didn’t sit in her designated seat, choosing instead to hide in the corner of the last row, observing.
