The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!-Chapter 1706 - 1698: Poems of Loving You (Part 3)

The familiar red carpet segment was back, and over the past month, the audience had just seen them at the amusement park. Last week, they saw Xia Siyu calmly riding the roller coaster and fearlessly entering the haunted house, with a demeanor that said she didn’t care about any ghosts or monsters—nothing fazes her.

Xia Siyu’s calm attitude, paired with everyone else’s terrified expressions, was particularly amusing. During this month, after Bo Yan and Xia Siyu went public, many of Bo Yan’s solo fans left at first. But unexpectedly, after an initial drop in his Weibo followers, his numbers actually increased significantly.

Especially Xia Siyu, who had previously been too lazy to respond to those who trolled her, so she set a rule that only those who followed her for more than seven days could comment. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Previously, people followed her just to criticize her. But this time, it’s different; there are still critics, but most are just here to watch the drama unfold.

Especially the couple’s fans, who were as excited as if it were a holiday. After their official announcement, Xia Siyu and Bo Yan rarely showed affection on Weibo, nor did they purposely buy trending topics. But the fans’ enthusiasm for creating content about them seemed to soar.

There were countless video edits centered around them, endless fan creations, and even some major players in the comic community created comics and animations based on their personas. Many also started digging to find out when exactly they had started dating and how long they’d been together.

Some even dug up Xia Siyu’s past remarks about hating Bo Yan to embarrass her. After all, she had once publicly declared, "I never want to act with Bo Yan in this lifetime!"

With all the buzz outside, the less they responded, the more heated things became. But what was Xia Siyu up to this time?

She was learning to dance.

Yes, she was really learning to dance. This whole month, she diligently stretched, danced, and picked up what she had left behind a decade ago. Over on Bo Yan’s side, the TV series project formulated exceptionally quickly, especially once the TV station agreed to invest, requiring the project to start immediately.

In the series, Xia Siyu plays a mother, who was initially a dancer. What she has to learn is her mother’s famous dance from back in the day.

This time, there was no need for Wei Jingjing to keep an eye on her everyday, restricting her snacks and food intake. Xia Siyu voluntarily cut down on eating and exercised.

A dancer’s physique is long, slender, flexible, and strong. Xia Siyu has always had an extraordinary dedication to her work, and since she’s portraying her mom this time, she undoubtedly has to make herself resemble her more closely.

If only there hadn’t been a parade in Sicily back then, their house hadn’t been vandalized, and her dad hadn’t brought them back to the country, her mom had truly hoped she would learn dance and pursue a career as a dancer. However, after returning home, she debuted as an actress instead of pursuing dance. Otherwise, she might have been a dancer now.

But it’s not easy to practice becoming a dancer. A minute on stage requires ten years of practice off stage. She had set it aside for ten years; picking it up again and doing it well wasn’t easy at all. Especially her mom’s high-difficulty spinning dance, which inspired Shang Feifei at the time to learn how to dance. However, after learning it, she realized she didn’t have the talent of a top dancer, so she settled for becoming an actress instead.

Reaching this level requires not only talent but also more effort. Xia Siyu found it difficult to relearn but she continued regardless.

If there is one person in this world who can beautifully portray her mother’s life, she believes it must be herself. Although she’s been in the entertainment circle for ten years, she’s got nothing but a Best Supporting Actress award from Cannes, but she’ll certainly work hard.

Yet, her and Bo Yan’s cold treatment has led to another kind of speculation.

Could it be that this time, Xia Siyu "forced his hand," and Bo Yan was pressured to make the official announcement?

The finale was about to air, and a preview for the next episode was shown, featuring Xia Siyu on stage telling Bo Yan to say "You love me, and only then will I agree" something akin to that.

Although she said it in a haughty tone with a princess attitude, the context signals that it’s Xia Siyu imploring Bo Yan to "go official." In other words, in this relationship, perhaps Xia Siyu is the pursuer, and she’s the one who pressed Bo Yan to confess.

This understanding was accepted by some of Bo Yan’s fans, who proceeded to spread it widely. While who pressured whom to go public isn’t critical, since it’s not with the fans they’re in a relationship but with each other, the fans still hold onto their final semblance of stubbornness.

In their eyes, Xia Siyu and Bo Yan are like their family’s cabbage being uprooted by a pig, with Bo Yan as the cabbage. Xia Siyu is experienced in romance, having a dozen rumored boyfriends. Bo Yan, apart from his first love before entering the entertainment industry, is a blank sheet of paper, how could he withstand Xia Siyu’s relentless pursuit?

Especially since today is Bo Yan’s birthday. This is Bo Yan’s first birthday since he and Xia Siyu went public. Theoretically, both should post birthday blessings.

But up until now, neither Xia Siyu nor Bo Yan’s official account has made any moves. People have started speculating whether Bo Yan has grown tired of her, and, due to being pressured to announce, he holds some resentment towards her.

This is something neither Xia Siyu nor Bo Yan has clarified, so the rumors have spread more and more.

But regardless of the gossip and speculation, when Xia Siyu and Bo Yan really stood together on the Golden Phoenix Award stage, nearly all the on-site journalists directed their lenses at them.

They weren’t the finale; there was a group of celebrities before them, and those waiting backstage.

But when they appeared in the waiting area, even though the group before them hadn’t finished their interview, all the reporters simultaneously looked their way.

This time when they appeared together, they had an assignment. The post-production of "Sunrise" was completed, and it was currently under review. As long as it passes review, it can be scheduled for release.

As everyone knows, "Sunrise" is an investment by Bo Yan and crew, not many sponsors, low-cost, and there’s no money for promotional campaigns. The promotion relies on the two of them to stir up heat. With them being so high-profile now, they of course need to strike while the iron is hot.

Just a couple of days ago, they released the first trailer, with Bo Yan and Xia Siyu taking turns liking it. It attracted many couple fans to spectate. Earlier, Xia Siyu starred, and director Ji directed a costume martial arts movie called "Divine Catcher," which also aims to ride the hype and release early, planning to hit theaters during the Spring Festival. Promotion for it also gradually began around this time.

The journalists all had their lenses on Xia Siyu and Bo Yan, which made the pair who were getting their pictures taken earlier a bit awkward. Initially, they wanted to linger longer for more photos, but now they had to exit the stage early.

Once the two stepped up to the signature platform together, there was a small murmur below.

They took the pens from the host’s tray, and then signed together, signatures leaning against each other.
