The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!-Chapter 1680 - 1670: Official Announcement (Part 3)

Both she and Bo Yan have fitness habits.

She has a dance background and also practices boxing, possessing strength and flexibility. Although she loves eating and often gets mocked online for overeating, she never slacks off on diet and exercise when she needs to slim down.

As for Bo Yan, it goes without saying. He learned Sanda when he was young and has maintained healthy habits ever since. As a celebrity, he manages his physique well. Men can slim down more easily than women by controlling their diet and doing slight exercises because of the natural muscle mass advantage.

He doesn’t starve himself to skin and bones when losing weight; he always maintains fitness. However, despite working out, he doesn’t intentionally bulk up into a muscular hulk. A well-proportioned, firm, and lean physique suffices. When he’s with Xia Siyu, he’d sneak in some extra bites when she eats. But if she’s not around, he reverts to his regular diet and slight exercise, making the previously faint muscle definition quickly come to the fore.

Bo Yan had to act, putting on a troubled expression while glancing around: "Is it okay? What if someone comes in?"

"Who else!" Xia Siyu, quick-tempered, saw Bo Yan dodging and instead drew closer. As they tugged at each other, the tent zipper suddenly opened, and in came Wei Jingjing, followed by the show crew: "Siyu, about the business..."

When she looked up, she saw Xia Siyu pulling Bo Yan’s collar, and Bo Yan holding her wrist. It looked like refusal yet seemed like an invitation for her to come closer.

Wei Jingjing quickly reacted, tugging at the curtain, turning around, and nearly bumping into the staff behind. Luckily, the tent door had a zipper, slightly opened to allow a peek, and with the dark of night and high winds, they likely didn’t see clearly from behind: "What you just said, there’s no issue with the timing, but this fee is clearly not right. Although Xia can be easy-going, the production team shouldn’t just mess with her like this, right?"

The business was initially for Xia Siyu and Bo Yan to be filmed separately. Now, filming them apart requires another shoot of them together, which wasn’t included in the pricing. This skepticism was reasonable.

Since it’s a segment within the show, advertisers also needed to negotiate with the production team. The crew nodded: "Our chief director has been informed about this, the pricing can be negotiated."

Only then did Wei Jingjing nod earnestly and turn, pulling open the tent curtain.

Once the curtain opened, sure enough, Bo Yan and Xia Siyu were standing far apart, one sitting at the bedside, the other leaning against a post looking at their phone. When they heard the sound, they turned simultaneously: "What’s up?"

Wei Jingjing feigned having seen nothing, knowing nothing, earnestly saying: "Siyu, besides the business matter, there’s also the last episode, shouldn’t we prepare a bit in advance?"

Xia Siyu tilted her head: "Prepare what?"

"A surprise."

Just like when they exchanged gifts when they first met, now at the last scene, of course, feelings need to "come full circle."

The producers asked everyone if they’d like to give gifts or create some romance for one another. They’ve already informed the other groups. The senior’s group was the simplest, inviting their daughter to join, enjoying family time — also making it easier to promote their daughter as a second-generation celebrity. Zhou Weiwei and Zhang Wenyi needed to create romance quickly after the backlash from netizens to strengthen their ship’s fans, so they were racking their brains for ideas.

As for Shang Feifei and Han Yifan, Han Yifan planned that regardless of whether they end up together in the future, at this moment he’s dating her with marriage in mind, very earnestly. Family obstacles won’t stop him. Marriage alliances aren’t their thing anymore; besides, they’ve already allied with the elder brother, none of his concern.

Yet Shang Feifei isn’t eager to marry, focused on her career, not wanting marriage for the time being. He understands, anyway as long as she doesn’t say breakup, he won’t leave. If she wants to break up, he’d stubbornly cling for a while.

In fact, the other three groups were routine, only the final "backup" couple was the program’s main focus.

But when it came to Bo Yan and Xia Siyu, as long as people weren’t blind, fans, hackers, passersby all knew they were a couple. Yet, they wouldn’t admit it, just playing along.

Without acknowledgment, their status could be endlessly speculated on — lovers, friends, above friends yet not quite lovers, even friends with benefits, anything goes.

In the show, they never prided themselves on it, nor got overly close, but every interaction was filled with playful banter and laughter, effortlessly natural.

Just one official announcement away, just one, yet they wouldn’t make it.

The production team thought, having come this far, why not market it a little?

Bo Yan glanced at Xia Siyu, and she looked right back. The team addressed them directly because even though Bo Yan was contracted with a company, he’d started a largely independent studio, managing his business. Xia Siyu was purely independent. They’re their own bosses, needing no one else’s approval, just a nod from both of them.

Bo Yan thought of Xia Siyu’s "thirty-year pact," with five more chances to win awards, should anything untoward arise like last year — having the strength to win yet forcibly derailed — he couldn’t forgive himself.

Bo Yan then shook his head: "This isn’t..."

"Not impossible." Xia Siyu suddenly took over the reins, leaving both Bo Yan and Wei Jingjing stunned. Particularly Bo Yan, looking anxious: "What did you say?"

"You want us to market it? Just say it then, to what extent? Is an official announcement necessary?"

A dating show with an official statement in the final episode would be incredible. Especially if the announcement involved two top stars — had it been prior to the show, fan wars might have erupted. But alas, post-broadcast of the romance show, the ship fans exploded exponentially.

These days, nothing markets better than stirring up ship excitement. Pairing, seeing beautiful people together, is already a shared human delight. Especially Real-Person-Slash (RPS), or real-life ship pairs, if you haven’t been through this, you couldn’t be considered top-tier.

Future conflicts and purity-fan dissent can wait, currently lacking CP fans’ attention, how could one boost their fame?

To know, CP fans are crazy enough to dig into Xia Siyu’s black history, pulling out all rumors, all variety shows, all interviews, examining every bit closely.
