She hung up the phone, frowned, and looked at Bo Yan with a displeased expression.
Bo Yan had been watching her, and when he saw her hang up, he stepped forward. But as he moved forward, Xia Siyu instinctively stepped back, maintaining a three-ter distance between them. From a behavioral point of view, this distance was the safe social distance, and with her arms crossed, it was clear she was resisting his approach.
However, as soon as Xia Siyu stepped back, she wondered if she had lost her montum. Damn it, she hadn’t done anything wrong, why should she back down? Instead, she stepped forward, raised her chin slightly, looking defiant.
Seeing her challenging attitude, Bo Yan couldn’t help but laugh. His laugh made Xia Siyu even more furious, and she asked in anger and sha, "What are you laughing at? Didn’t you just say you were wrong and had upset ? So tell , exactly how did you upset ?"
Bo Yan imdiately replied, "I shouldn’t have gone so many days without contacting you."
He thought back, and realized that ever since they had reconciled, although work kept them apart for long periods, they remained in contact. This ti, he hadn’t initially understood why Xia Siyu was suddenly happy and then suddenly angry, so he had taken a cooler approach to avoid stepping on her toes. Then he got too busy, and by the ti he thought of it, he figured he could just return to Yancheng to smooth things over.
He hadn’t expected this ti he wasn’t poking a hornet’s nest, but had sprayed a bottle of liquid nitrogen, freezing it at -196 degrees instantly.
He wasn’t so slow-witted as to not realize that if he didn’t quickly go to her, he might lose her for good.
At first, seeing Xia Siyu turn her head to leave, her expression calm and indifferent, he was indeed slightly panicked.
Knowing that Xia Siyu’s explosive temper could ignite at any mont, if she suddenly went quiet, it wasn’t because she had cald down. Rather, she was probably gathering steam, ready to explode.
But seeing Xia Siyu still furiously making calls, loudly reprimanding him, and even questioning him challengingly, he realized that although she was angry, there was still room for reconciliation.
Xia Siyu turned her head with disdain and scoffed, "Hmph," then questioned back, "Do I care to contact you? Who do you think you are?"
"It’s my fault, even if I’m busy, I can’t forget to check in with you morning and night." In this regard, Bo Yan apologized readily. He tried to approach her again, Xia Siyu instinctively retreated but quickly steadied herself, speaking gruffly, "Oh, I know. You can leave now. I still have work to do."
As she took a step, Bo Yan grabbed her arm. Xia Siyu almost imdiately shook him off, her face showing an expression of disgust, "Did I let you touch ? Stay three ters away from !"
Bo Yan nodded, saying "Alright," but did the opposite by reaching out for her again. Xia Siyu beca furious and imdiately leapt back, "Get your hands off ! Do you think I care about your apology? Who do you think you are? Didn’t want to contact ? Half a month isn’t enough, how about never contacting again! Let go!"
But Bo Yan didn’t let go, using his other hand to embrace her. Who knew Xia Siyu would strike accurately and fiercely, stomping her Martin boot on his foot, making Bo Yan release instantly. Xia Siyu, being who she is, followed up with another move, kneeing him precisely in his... part. Bo Yan, in pain, dropped to one knee.
This precise strike was Xia Siyu’s secret weapon back in the day to free herself of his entanglent. But ever since they reconciled, she hadn’t used it in a long ti.
Bo Yan didn’t expect she’d use it now, kicking him right on target with no warning, causing a stabbing pain.
He wanted to get up and go after her, but Xia Siyu had already slipped away, walking quickly back, complaining as she went, "Director! How are you letting just anyone in here? Doesn’t anyone care about safety? Is this guy even with our production team? If not, get rid of him!"
The people around seed to hear her comnts, as if suddenly realizing sothing.
So, Xia Siyu’s strange behavior today was because she had a fight with Bo Yan? No wonder she exploded when the MC ntioned Bo Yan, no wonder her mood was so erratic on the show. People in love are like that; not fighting and arguing would be unnatural.
Xia Siyu rushed back in and headed straight to her treehouse, skipping the nanny car parked nearby. The room had surveillance caras, and once inside, Bo Yan couldn’t act recklessly.
After a while, Bo Yan, who had been fiercely kicked by Xia Siyu, finally straightened up, his pained expression slowly returning to normal. Only when he took bigger steps did he still feel so pain. He could only walk back gracefully, his face showing a helpless smile as he reached the production area, "Sorry for the disturbance."
"Not at all!" Instantly, a group of fans surrounded him, one bold enough to say, "We’d love for Teacher Bo to stay as a guest."
"I’m a bit pressed for ti, otherwise I’d love to stay here longer."
Though they understood that by "stay a bit longer," he didn’t an staying for the show but to soothe his girlfriend. But it was a pleasant way of speaking.
As Xia Siyu had shut herself in, and it was everyone’s first day eting each other, they naturally wanted to have a chat with Bo Yan since he was around.
"Teacher Bo, I really loved watching your movie ’No Man’s Land’. That smile over your shoulder when you first appeared was incredibly charming. Not just charming, but also sunny, with a warm guy vibe."
"Teacher Bo, I was a trainee in Goryeo and your movies are what got through. It’s a pity you’ve made so few movies since your debut. No more than ten in total, I’d say."
"My mom and sister are your fans. I was brought to your movies by them and that’s how I started liking you. I want to beco an artist just to get closer to you."
...
A group of them gathered around him. Of course, these words were partly true and partly flattery or friendly gestures. But one does not hit a smiling face, and Bo Yan’s gentle nature was unlike Xia Siyu’s confrontational one.
Soone said, "I used to hear about you from Sister Di, and I thought she might be exaggerating. Never expected you’d be even more charming in person."
This person was the leader among the idols, born into wealth and well-connected in the circle. Bo Yan casually asked, "Who do you an by Sister Di?"
"Oh, Wu Di. She was my senior."
Wu Di, a na from the past. Back when Bo Yan was still in college, he wanted to pursue her; she got along well with Xia Sicai and was from the Dance Academy. She also participated in "Flowers and Grass" and was once beaten by Xia Siyu. She was originally with the sa entertainnt agency as Bo Yan but later left the circle.
Bo Yan was about to say sothing when suddenly the window of Xia Siyu’s room opened, and she stuck her head out:
