The key point is that the production team released the footage after the power outage when they turned off and then back on the caras, including Bo Yan and Xia Siyu "interacting" in the hallway, and Xia Siyu later turning on Bo Yan’s microphone to capture their conversation.
Especially, it ended on: "You forgot this." Everyone started guessing what exactly was left behind!
And the most infuriating part is that the full details are only available in the extended VIP version, which won’t be updated until the day after tomorrow, so it can’t be watched now.
The audience’s curiosity was piqued, and they were really waiting by the site for the extended VIP version.
Besides the curious general viewers, the most anxious ones were the marketing accounts and Bo Yan’s fans. The marketing accounts need not be ntioned, they thrive on this stuff, so of course, they want more detailed gossip. As for Bo Yan’s fans, they hope their idol has no personal connection with Xia Siyu, that they are just on-screen couples with nothing going on in private. The general viewers, who love a good spectacle, were also waiting eagerly on the site, ready to watch as soon as the extended version was released the next day.
As an aside, the interest in gossip was so high that the number of people rushing to watch the VIP content began to surge, with a continuous rise in new mber sign-ups. But that’s another story.
However, when the extended version was finally updated, the click rate soared instantly. Half an hour later, the extended version of this episode had nearly 30 million views.
What are the audience best at? Scrutinizing people with a microscope!
One by one, they used their phones to cast the display to a bigger screen, watching fra by fra at the slowest speed, taking screenshots, and analyzing every nuance.
At first, the power outage didn’t warrant much discussion. During the outage, both of them sounded a bit panicked. Then the director called them, both answered separately, and aside from Xia Siyu hanging up a bit quicker, there was nothing much else.
After that, Xia Siyu swiftly hung up on the director’s call, and everything went dark and silent again.
A setting that was both dark and silent always fuels the audience’s speculation. The production team fast-forwarded this part, and about twenty minutes later, the first cara in the living room lit up.
Next, the stylized text of the director’s call with Xia Siyu appeared on screen. Xia Siyu said that they thought the recording had ended and accidentally bumped into sothing, ssing up the living room, so they felt embarrassed to film and unplugged the caras. This explanation made sense. After that, one by one, they turned the caras back on, but at that mont, the two had moved to the hallway, which was a blind spot for the caras. Also, the microphones were off. This segnt was mostly silent.
Of course, one could say the two had sothing planned, as reality shows aren’t real life and can’t film their faces 24/7. Celebrities have personal matters to handle, whether it’s between fellow artists, their teams, or their companies. From the enlarged shadow captured at the cara’s edge, it seed Xia Siyu was standing by the wall.
But then, Xia Siyu suddenly turned the microphone on, and the first thing was Bo Yan’s low curse, "Damn—"
Then ca Xia Siyu’s slightly smug voice: "Well, Mr. Bo, good night. See you tomorrow. Get so rest and have sweet dreams. Not sleeping well can give you dark circles."
There was another pause of silence, as only their voices were audible, and their interactions unseen. Then Xia Siyu loudly said, "Mr. Bo is right. Mr. Bo speaks well. When we have ti, let’s discuss art and hone our acting skills."
It sounded like they were discussing acting. Nothing wrong with that — before the power outage, they were watching a movie, Xia Siyu criticizing everything, even herself. So talking about acting skills fit the context.
Still, there seed to be a hint of teasing in her tone?
Connecting it to her recent loud remark "dedicate oneself to art" into the microphone, it seed deliberate.
Bo Yan cleared his throat, his voice slightly hoarse: "As long as you understand."
Then ca the crucial mont!
Xia Siyu suddenly called out to him: "Wait a minute, Mr. Bo, you forgot sothing."
The audience was scratching their heads, having waited all night just for this part! Xia Siyu whispered softly, though it was unclear what exactly was forgotten. Her tone was incredibly gentle, like a gentle breeze: "You forgot this."
Lastly, her unexpected "Good night, Mr. Bo" was also unexpectedly tender.
The audience was frustrated, the most frustrating part being they watched so long and still saw nothing substantial, yet there seed to be vaguely sothing?
Then, it was just Bo Yan alone in the living room munching on duck necks, which were possibly too spicy, as he couldn’t find any water and ended up drinking Xia Siyu’s can of beer.
The extended VIP version also elaborated on Xia Siyu and Bo Yan’s earlier banter while watching "Storm." The two watched the boating scene, critiquing the lack of acting skills then. Bo Yan appeared a bit embarrassed, but the carefree Xia Siyu was oblivious, perfectly embodying the saying, "As long as I’m not embarrassed, it’s others who are."
The production team knew the audience was keen on this pair, so the VIP content cut off there, switching to other teams, showing so of their details as well.
And after watching a couple of episodes, the audience couldn’t shake a feeling:
Xia Siyu seed like a player, purely flirting. anwhile, Bo Yan appeared as the innocent one, like a bashful bunny, his heart racing, flustered and falling for it. And player Xia Siyu, slacking when she should, flattering when she wanted to. Even though her words weren’t sweet, many n, if in Bo Yan’s shoes, might fully fall for her rhetoric.
After the VIP extended version ended, many of Bo Yan’s fans found it hard to sleep, as did many marketing accounts, and nurous eagle-eyed viewers began taking screenshots fra by fra to analyze if there was anything fishy between the two.
However, the popularity of "Fable CP" soared overnight. Even though Xia Siyu and Bo Yan hadn’t actively cultivated it, these fans were particularly good at stirring things up.
For CP fans, it’s all about the feeling. With both being handso and having explosive chemistry, even their casual glances back when filming together could make fans scream. Now, with materials for analysis, it was like celebrating a festival. CP fans excel at spinning stories, taking screenshots, and finding sweetness amid the chaos. Several marketing accounts even moved to re-share their content, creating a lively buzz.
Amidst all the excitent, Xia Siyu and Bo Yan embarked on the second episode of their reality show.
