The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!-Chapter 1745 - 1737: You Look Best (4)

She’s still able to earn a lot now, at least ten million for an advertisement endorsement. With a few more films and variety shows, she can pay off what she owes her dad in advance.

During the year she took a break at home, aside from reading and acting in stage plays, there wasn’t much she could do. At that time, she often imagined what it would be like if she made a comeback. Now, she’s flying everywhere, constantly busy.

Having almost everything, what she really wants now is just a good meal and a good sleep.

She still wants to make more good films, to improve herself a bit more. But now, sitting next to Bo Yan, watching him order food, and looking at the hot pot in front, the bright red crayfish adorned with perilla leaves, chili, onions, and other garnishes look exceedingly tempting.

Sometimes happiness is just this simple: having crayfish when hungry, and drinking cola without hesitation when thirsty. The cola she got from the cinema remains unfinished, and she even brought it out. Bo Yan asked, "Here we have five-spice and garlic flavored, not too spicy, do you want to try?"

"Eating crayfish without it being spicy is like Mapo tofu without sauce, soulless," Xia Siyu scoffed. Bo Yan asked again, "We also have peeled crayfish meat that’s more flavorful, care to try it?"

"Without peeling the shell, what’s the point of eating crayfish? Just like eating seeds without cracking the husk," she defiantly ordered the demon spiced version because she hadn’t had heavy flavors due to frequent travels recently, not due to an inability to handle them. Now back in Yancheng, with Bo Yan at her side, she wanted to indulge.

Bo Yan had no choice but to nod, and soon, all the dishes were served. Xia Siyu didn’t even bother with gloves; she wiped her hands with a wet wipe, ready to peel the shells with her hands directly. Bo Yan quickly handed her a disposable glove, which she refused, "I’ll end up tearing it anyway, why bother wearing it? It’s redundant."

But Bo Yan attentively helped her to wear it, "It’s not about your fingers getting oily, it’s to avoid you eating your makeup."

She had just gotten off the plane, hadn’t even been home, still wearing makeup from an event before boarding, and her nail polish remained on. Xia Siyu paused for a moment, let him put on the gloves, and then happily started peeling the shells.

She twisted off a shrimp head and then forcefully pulled the tail. The white meat inside, pre-slit for flavor penetration, absorbed the seasonings. With a gentle suck, the spicy, aromatic flavor filled her mouth, quite appetizing. The shrimp meat was tender and very delicious.

Initially, upon entry, she didn’t feel the spiciness. But after peeling several more, perhaps sucking one too hard, the spicy oil burst into her mouth, also rushing up her nose, instantly causing tears to stream down.

"Take your time, nobody’s snatching it away," Bo Yan promptly handed her the cola. Hands busy with peeling, she turned her head, took two sips directly from the straw, feeling the cool drink, temporarily easing the spice. However, as the drink went down, the spicy heat roared back, making her tears fall anew.

Bo Yan hurriedly grabbed tissues to wipe her, she continued eating the crayfish while crying. Bo Yan tried to persuade her, "Perhaps slow down a bit?"

As the tissue ran out, he wanted to get more, called a server in the hallway for additional tissue, and upon returning, saw Xia Siyu still eating while crying.

Suddenly, he seemed to have a feeling, perhaps Xia Siyu just wanted a good cry, thus ordering the spiciest version deliberately.

She has always worked diligently, carrying many unjust labels, yet never fearing. Facing challenges head-on. Without her tenacity, most would have collapsed under the same slander she faced.

Many artists, even upon realizing the rumors were false, still suffered career damages, resulting in their spirits being broken. Very few manage to rise again and soar to the peak.

If Xia Siyu hadn’t withstood the pressure to act in those films during the crisis, if not for her solid skills, she too would have been drowned in the river of time.

However, perhaps it’s just her character, standing firm under pressure, not because she didn’t feel it, but holding her breath.

Now, having fully risen, reflecting on the past, she finds it somewhat overwhelming.

In "Sunrise," her acting skill and looks have garnered one-sided recognition. If "Divine Catcher" was explosively popular primarily among lesbian audience niches, then in "Sunrise," her entire state reached the pinnacle.

At that time, Xia Siyu was experiencing ups and downs, being insulted online for a whole year, missing out on two awards, and then unexpectedly winning Cannes. It’s unlikely for her state to align so perfectly again; she might not be able to perform as she did back then.

The audience’s eyes aren’t blind. She’s always worked hard, carried many unfounded labels, but never feared. Facing challenges head-on. Without her tenacity, most would have collapsed under the same slander she faced.
