The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!-Chapter 1681 - 1671: Official Announcement (Part 4)

In the end, the conclusion was: Xia Siyu’s past rumors were either for hype, just playing along, or setup by others. But this time, her feelings with Bo Yan, evolving from hostility to friendship and then to subtle romance, seemed the most genuine.

Looking into Bo Yan’s interviews and Weibo, he never sold the image of being single, nor did he engage in random endorsements just to exploit his fans. At first, when collaborating with Xia Siyu on "Storm," they often clashed. But it seemed that after their variety show collaboration, probably during the later stages of "Flowers and Grass," their relationship grew closer. He even later issued a warning that he "couldn’t stay single forever," but at the time, no one linked him and Xia Siyu together.

He always said his ideal type was beautiful with a big chest and that she should be kind, lively, and cute. At that time, everyone thought he was joking, but matching these conditions to Xia Siyu—well, it’s her!

In terms of body shape in the entertainment industry, Xia Siyu only needs to eat a bit less to avoid losing her figure, and she’s definitely in the TOP 5. She has both the figure and the looks. It’s just that she mostly played the pure and innocent roles before, which didn’t require her to dress provocatively. Even when it comes to casual outfits, she’d rather wear sportswear than hot pants, camisoles, and high heels. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

As a result, when she acted in "Storm," when she laughed, everyone laughed; when she cried, the audience felt worse than she did. Despite knowing that she usually acted bossy and fierce, who could resist her first-love face? She could be sweet or sassy, and when she needed to be seductive, she was incredibly seductive.

Bo Yan... no matter how strong his self-control, he’s still a normal man with worldly desires. Working every day with a female artist like that, who wouldn’t be moved?

Moreover, ever since her scandal was cleared, it seemed like all her other shortcomings could be ignored. After all, she endured such great grievances before while continuing to do good deeds without anyone knowing. That’s also why random people and CP fans support this couple.

The production team indeed wanted them to go public, but they didn’t dare hope. After all, these two were not ordinary people, and once they make it official, the explosive effect could shake the entire Chinese entertainment industry.

They just wanted this couple to be a bit closer and act together publicly.

"Well... if both teachers agree, that would be wonderful." The staff was so excited; they couldn’t wait to notify the chief director.

But Xia Siyu smiled slightly and stopped him from sending the message: "It’s not impossible. But it comes at a different price."

???

Suddenly, the situation took a sharp turn. The staff was stunned, and even Bo Yan and Wei Jingjing looked at her with astonished expressions.

Xia Siyu further analyzed, "Actually, I don’t need to tell you this. Since you came to ask me personally, you must be aware of the traffic Bo Yan and I generate, right? Previously, when I was bored during shooting, I would look at hot searches and comments. I can say that I did buy a bit of hot searches for myself, but only low-level ones. The heat rose to the top on its own. From the time Bo Yan and I started appearing on the show until now, over two months, you should know how much attention we both get. Without mentioning hot searches, even looking at bullet chats and comments, it’s mostly about the two of us. Watching the CUTs, it’s mainly about us. Plus, a lot more people have subscribed to VIP services than before, right? It’s not that doing business is impossible, but it depends on what you say."

She simply tossed the ball back to them, showcasing a sly business face.

The staff said, "Well, we might need to contact the chief director and possibly the station manager..."

Xia Siyu smiled slightly, "Of course. You can definitely go. The extent of the business, well, it depends on your sincerity. I’m very sincere, willing to do whatever it takes as long as it’s within legal bounds. We can make explosive news for you. However, let me remind you, time is limited. Isn’t the shoot starting the day after tomorrow? You need to give an answer before that."

After the staff left, Bo Yan frowned at her, "Were you serious or not?"

Xia Siyu nodded seriously, "Serious."

This time it was Wei Jingjing who asked, almost unable to believe her ears, "You’re really going to announce it officially?"

"If he invests in my mom’s drama, it’s not impossible." Xia Siyu had this plan.

She didn’t let go of the few award competitions coming up, but as long as she didn’t break the law, those awards couldn’t exclude her. Besides, making it official doesn’t mean ending her career; she’d continue acting, continue dealing in the entertainment industry. What does making it official matter?

The most important thing right now is raising money for the drama.

Even if she and Bo Yan lower their pay, or set a nominal fee and invest all the money into the film, to make a thirty-episode series with good quality, it might need over a billion, right?

Currently, the two of them really don’t have that much money. It’s hard to get a company to invest. Thinking about it, they still need the TV station or platform to first show interest.

Nevertheless, Xia Siyu sincerely apologized to Bo Yan, "Sorry, I made the decision without discussing it with you just now."

Though normally bossy and willful, with significant decisions, the two have always moved forward together, discussing no matter what choice they make. But she indeed just—upon hearing about adding scenes, thought about adding money.

If Bo Yan doesn’t agree to make it public, they can aim for something less, just working publicly. Anyway, public business is normal in this circle. In short, as long as it’s not an official announcement, as long as it’s not, there’s still room for maneuver.

"No, no." Bo Yan shook his head, almost bursting into laughter.

Although he knew Xia Siyu wanted to trick an investment, he was still happy to get a bit closer.

Any loving couple wouldn’t want to keep their happiness from the public. That’s why so many young couples in the entertainment industry can’t hide it. Unless it’s just an emotionless fling, once there’s a bit of bond, whether in life or work, they always secretly show love or declare sovereignty, just discreetly because of fans.

Upon looking back, they find traces of sweetness in every detail.

Genuine couples generally wouldn’t play pun games with time, like the time you post on Weibo representing ’I love you.’ Instead, they wear matching clothes, carry matching bags, have matching phone chains and emoticons.

Bo Yan and Xia Siyu were used to responding to each other from afar; one posts on Weibo, the other posts in Moments, never overlapping, yet still sending messages to each other. But if an insider were to dig in, they’d find everything completely, perfectly whole, just rarely noticed by the public.
