The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!-Chapter 1705 - 1697: Poems of Loving You (2)

Although Shengxia Yanyu is a fan of Fable CP, he was initially a solo fan of Xia Siyu. Even after becoming a CP fan, he never spent a dime on Bo Yan. Yes, he’s the kind of biased fan that fan circles hate the most.

There’s also a lot of speculation about whether he’s male or female, because he never shows his face or participates in online or offline activities, but he’s always willing to spend money to support. Whether he’s male or female, the CP he supports has become real, and many of Xia Siyu’s fans tag him, asking him to speak up.

This time, in the comments section, Xia Siyu saw many of her fans tagging Shengxia Yanyu, but he didn’t show up. Well, after waking up with Bo Yan today, besides eating and washing up, they were busy with the script and only now got the chance to check the comments. Bo Yan was the same. Besides being the project leader, lead actor, and director, he had a lot to manage. Busy with work, he didn’t have time to go online.

Hmm, wait a minute, just as she was about to log off, she noticed her starred friend, Shengxia Yanyu, had come online.

After going online, he also left a message in Xia Siyu’s comments section: "My wish has finally come true."

Although it was posted late, he was famous enough to quickly get a lot of fans to push it to the top.

Below were well-wishes, "I can stay single, but my CP must come true!"

Sarcasm followed: "Heartbroken, huh? It’s not a crime for a man to cry."

Xia Siyu looked up, and in front of her, Bo Yan smiled at her.

Most of her fans were not fazed at all, as they had long known what Xia Siyu was like, with rumors flying everywhere. One more wouldn’t be any issue. And this person was Bo Yan, not a loss but rather a gain. Other CP fans were elated, and she even saw a CP fan doing a raffle in the super chat, with lots of participants.

Unfortunately, she was too late to win anything.

Anyway, since the screenwriter had left, Xia Siyu rested her head on his lap, lying on the couch while scrolling through her phone.

Originally, it seemed like they had overthought making this public. But now it seems, maybe, it’s actually just a minor thing?

She asked, "What about on your side? Your fan group seems to be rioting."

Bo Yan smiled: "It’s fine."

He had been preparing for a year or two, actually with the intention of providing this kind of buffer. If they had suddenly announced being together a year or two ago, at that time, his and Xia Siyu’s fan bases were hostile to each other. Announcing it back then, the fan clubs would have likely exploded.

He repeatedly stated that he wouldn’t stay single. After being photographed with Xia Siyu, he didn’t explain, dragging it out for over a year. Most fans had already had an idea, continue supporting if they wanted, or amicably part ways if they didn’t, without grievances.

Indeed, there were quite a few fan defections, but the situation was still under control. Even if it led to his ruin, it wouldn’t matter. He could always turn to work behind the scenes in the future. He had to live his own life, couldn’t live solely according to fans’ wishes.

Bo Yan said it was fine, so Xia Siyu nodded and didn’t ask more. She wasn’t oblivious to Bo Yan’s sacrifice, there will always be some losses. But if Bo Yan said it was fine, she believed he could handle it. If he really needed her help, she would step up without hesitation.

Yesterday wasn’t just about their public announcement; in the evening, the first episode of their trip to the desert had already been edited and released.

Riding the wave of their announcement, viewership for this episode soared instantly.

The preparatory work in front of the desert, their cooperation in setting up the tent, cooking together. Although it didn’t seem as intimate as Zhou Weiwei and Zhang Wenyi, nor as calm as veteran couples married for years, it was noticeably warmer than previous episodes. Especially in the next episode’s preview, there’s a scene of them stargazing. It felt very natural, neither sleazy nor showy. Just a fleeting moment, sweet enough to make people squeal in delight.

But arguments happened too. Their evening bickering added a sense of reality that didn’t feel like they were deliberately showing off their affection, just a normal couple being silly.

Thanks to the public announcement, this episode’s ratings reached a peak of five points, averaging close to three points. This was the highest achievement in the past two to three years.

The network executives were pleased and immediately approved Bo Yan and Xia Siyu’s film project. Their first TV drama together after going public was indeed worth the investment.

However, in return, the network also called on Bo Yan and Xia Siyu to strike while the iron was hot by participating in another variety show.

Fortunately, it was just for one or two episodes as guests, which wouldn’t take much time, so they agreed. Barely two or three days home, they flew out again to join the show.

The production team was also good at stirring things up, deliberately putting them on opposing teams.

At first, there was an expectation that they might go easy on each other, but both Xia Siyu and Bo Yan, once at work, set aside their feelings, with work as the priority. Each belonged to different teams, showing no leniency, even in the mini-games. Although Xia Siyu might not be as quick-witted as Bo Yan, her agility, honed in dance, made her precise and fierce in competitions.

In the variety show, they specifically avoided selling any romance. Xia Siyu was worried about further provoking his fans, so their interactions were natural and graceful while maintaining a safe distance. Occasionally, they’d smile at each other during eye contact.

The audience disliked pretentiousness and sleaze, whether male or female. The highest level is to be "beautiful without realizing it," which doesn’t mean being oblivious but not purposely crafting a pose to highlight beauty, being naturally confident is enough. Relationships are the same. Emoting forced affection or relations may be sweet but leave a cloying taste.

To keep viewers engaged, they didn’t accept interviews, leaving some mysteries for the audience. They also refrained from trending topics about their relationship or trivial matters on Weibo. This maintained freshness and intrigue for the audience, avoiding excessive marketing that could spoil these feelings.

For now, everything was going well.

The Golden Phoenix Awards ceremony was approaching, and both had films nominated. During the month of nomination announcements, the TV drama project had finally been finalized. Their first time acting together in a drama drew a lot of attention.

But the focus wasn’t on that. The highlight was reputedly that these two would walk the red carpet together at the Golden Phoenix Awards. It would be their first time facing the cameras and accepting an interview about their relationship.
