The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!

Chapter 650: Chapter 647 Divergent Paths Converge (1)
 

With newfound confidence, Bo Yan was no longer jealous.

Early the next morning, he had Song Fengzhi buy her a new phone. Bo Yan knew how sharp the netizens’ eyes were, so to prevent them from noticing, he even bought the same model as Qin Baizhou’s, the same one that Xia Siyu had previously lost in the hotpot. It was a sly switch, replacing it with the one he gifted.

Xia Siyu had a phone again, but she was still picky and difficult to please, seeming unimpressed no matter how he looked, acting overly complicated. Bo Yan simply smiled slightly and didn’t argue with her.

But with friction between the two artists, their assistants also found each other unbearable. Song Fengzhi thought straight as an arrow, “My brother treats you so well and likes you so much, and yet you still put on airs.” Wei Jingjing, of course, staunchly defended her own girl, “My Siyu is such a treasure, what’s wrong with her showing a little attitude? If you don’t like it, don’t chase her. There are enough people lining up from Yancheng to Shangcheng anyway.”

Each tried to sabotage the other, none taking a liking to one another.

This irritation continued from the outdoors filming location to the film and television center.

After the child actor left, they filmed for two more days on location, and, on the clear morning of the third day, they were set to say their final goodbyes to the place. Xia Siyu and Bo Yan had lived there for two months, gotten used to the freedom and simple local customs, which she found hard to leave behind.

Bo Yan felt the same. Although it was under the guise of “assistance,” they had installed tap water and a full set of bathing facilities for the area, but he knew full well that it was also for himself. They glanced at each other, and since both were not petty people and had developed affection, they were sure to leave something behind for the locals.

Money couldn’t be given directly. As the saying goes, to get rich, build roads first, so Bo Yan and Xia Siyu used their own money to renovate the village roads. Having already donated to Hope Primary School, this time they anonymously donated to Hope Middle School, and they even established a scholarship for impoverished students at a university in the provincial capital where they had once visited the archives.

All of these acts were done anonymously, and they had informed their management company, not wanting to use it to gain any fame. Especially Xia Siyu, she had firmly instructed, over and over again, not to let Qin Baizhou buy her any ‘charity hot searches’; she didn’t want to promote herself in that way.

However, after finishing their shoot the next afternoon and preparing to leave the next day, Director Sun invited both of them for a meal, but Xia Siyu and Bo Yan both refused. Xia Siyu grumbled, “I want to go back and take a bath. I’ve been rolling around in the sand all day, and I’m very dirty.”

After all, as a female artist, he understood her being slightly fussy. Besides, Xia Siyu might be finicky in her daily life, but she was very dedicated when it came to work. She hardly used a stunt double for the shoot, handling almost everything herself, which granted her some leeway to be fussy.

Bo Yan also said, “I don’t drink alcohol.” With that simple sentence, he brushed off their invitations, as Bo Yan never enjoyed eating out with the Tiger Sect because he never drank.

“Alright, alright, off you go then!” Sun Wujiu was well acquainted with him, and Bo Yan had not only acted for him but also helped him pull in investments and assisted in various ways. Their friendship spanned several years, and they got along like brothers.

Bo Yan certainly was not going to simply go back and rest. He and Xia Siyu left the courtyard one after the other. It was still early; first, they took showers and changed clothes. Then Bo Yan asked Song Fengzhi for the car keys, didn’t call anyone to accompany them, and tacitly went out with her.

The drive was a short one, leading them to the River Bay. Bo Yan found the best spot and opened the sunroof. Together, they watched the sunset.
