The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!

Chapter 651: Chapter 648 Divergent Paths Converge (2)
 

Today the sky is clear and cloudless; the blazing fiery clouds from that day are nowhere to be seen.

However, this sunset casting its brilliance in rays over the western hills is a sight that is still remarkably expansive.

A month ago, when they watched the sunset together, even though Bo Yan had already figured her out, their relationship was still somewhat awkward. But at this moment, Xia Siyu was leaning comfortably against him, showing not the slightest hint of resistance.

With the mountains high and the sun low, water receding to reveal the stones, their hearts had opened up quite a bit, “The view is really beautiful.”

Bo Yan nodded, acknowledging that beyond this river, the setting sun, and these mountains, the most important thing was that no one recognized them. They didn’t need to wear masks, didn’t have to disguise themselves, and could breathe freely.

Freedom, for ordinary people, is something taken for granted, as simple as eating and breathing. Yet, for Xia Siyu and Bo Yan, it was a rare luxury.

Xia Siyu thought that she liked Bo Yan, not only because they shared a common enemy in Bo Yi and Xia Sicai or because they were aligned in their work objectives, but also because she did not have to pretend at all around him. They understood each other’s circumstances and could fully grasp each other’s thoughts.

Others, even Qin Baizhou, who typically worked behind the scenes, could not fully understand her thoughts.

Even if she did not want to admit it, she had to acknowledge to herself that meeting Bo Yan was quite fortunate for her.

“Why did you decide to enter the entertainment industry?”

Xia Siyu was somewhat curious. Bo Yan was not the type to seek the limelight. Although he studied “Film Culture and Art” at university, it was more on the theoretical side.

When they were dating back then, Bo Yan was determined to do theoretical research and wanted to establish his own school of thought, tirelessly studying into his old age.

A year after Xia Siyu left, she rose to fame with a single film, becoming a super-newcomer. The next year, when she went to N University to handle her withdrawal process, Xia Sicai was courting him. When Xia Siyu arrived, she happened to see Xia Sicai and him discussing academics.

Although Bo Yan’s heart was stirred at first, he kept a calm expression. He didn’t want to seem too flustered in front of his ex-girlfriend. And look, how popular I am, another girl with good family background is chasing after me.

When Xia Siyu went to the art department to withdraw, her expression was as indifferent as Bo Yan’s, tranquil as ever. But in the next moment, she clenched her fists upon hearing her “good sister’s” voice. Then, with a cold laugh, she turned her head and left.

Bo Yan thought he would be very happy, having finally won one over her. But instead, watching her back and the crowd of assistants and bodyguards around her, along with the students there to watch the drama, his feelings were indescribable. He wasn’t happy at all; such childish comparisons were signs of immaturity. He couldn’t manage to date any other woman successfully; no one would do except for her.

But he still had to bridge the gap of two years apart. He wanted to understand Xia Siyu better, so he started to go undercover in Xia Siyu’s fan groups and began working with long-term investigative paparazzi to look into Xia Siyu’s social network. At first, he was just a low-profile silent fan, inconspicuous and ignored. Later, by splurging on box-office tickets, he caught the attention of the fan club’s upper echelons.

Later on, Xia Siyu was framed, her reputation plummeted to rock bottom, and all sorts of vile rumors were heaped upon her.

What Bo Yan thought at the time: he felt utterly powerless.
