The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!-Chapter 1747 - 1739: Valentine’s Day (2)

Moreover, Bo Yan didn’t respond to this Weibo post immediately, and someone actually mocked:

"Didn’t I say these two are just hyping it up? They specifically posted on Valentine’s Day, and Bo Yan hasn’t replied for over half an hour."

And this Weibo post, initially posted far down the thread, suddenly shot to the top, possibly because a hater targeted it, or maybe someone bought likes for it.

Within the replies, people mocked: "The CP sense between Xia Siyu and Bo Yan isn’t as strong as her chemistry with the second female lead in ’Divine Catcher.’ What are they even bragging about."

Although Xia Siyu has become popular, she accumulated many haters in the past. Even though she’s trending now, her biggest hater used to be solely Bo Yan’s fans. Since the two announced their relationship, the number of haters has decreased a lot. It’s no longer like before when she would post a Weibo, and nine times out of ten, it would be all hate comments. But haters, when given the chance, will still take a bite at her.

For example, nowadays, people are used to seeing Weibo not as the initial social media platform it was, but as a place for official announcements. In earlier years, people would casually comment on the news on Weibo; some topics that seem embarrassing now were back then just personal quirks people shared for fun.

A Weibo post like Xia Siyu’s is essentially for publicity. Usually, after posting, there’s an interaction with the other party. Whether it’s showing affection or promoting, the other side generally responds instantly.

Furthermore, now that she logged into her public account and tagged Bo Yan, both teams can see it. Although Wei Jingjing knew Xia Siyu came straight from the airport to watch a movie with Bo Yan without even going home, and Bo Yan probably mentioned it to Song Fengzhi, seeing no response for half an hour, even Song couldn’t help but call to inquire.

Bo Yan’s phone kept vibrating in his pocket, and he turned to his wife: "My phone."

After eating, Xia Siyu reverted to her true nature, immediately acting haughty: "What did you say?"

Bo Yan instantly switched to his simping mode: "My dear wife, please check my phone."

Xia Siyu wasn’t pleased: "Just saying it isn’t enough?"

Bo Yan quickly turned around and stuffed a shrimp into her mouth; she couldn’t argue while eating, and then he kissed her cheek. Though eating the shrimp, she still complained: "Your mouth is all oily!" But she still helped him take out his phone and saw it was a call from Song Fengzhi.

Xia Siyu immediately answered, and Song Fengzhi asked, "Yan, do you need to respond on Weibo?"

Chewing on the shrimp, Xia Siyu nodded and said, "Wait a moment; I’ll post it soon."

Song Fengzhi was taken aback, thinking they were intentionally causing drama to hype their relationship issues.

Since Bo Yan didn’t respond, that questioning post was drawing more attention, and on other forums, there were more threads discussing their issues with many posts. Even though it was late, around three in the morning, and not many people were online, the posts were concentrated and quickly moved to the top.

No need to guess: trolls have been deployed.

Looking at the user who questioned Xia Siyu on Weibo, it turns out he wasn’t Xia Siyu’s hater or Bo Yan’s fanatic, but rather seemed like a marketing account—

Deploying trolls so late at night, and on such a large scale, one doesn’t need to think deeply to know it was their rival, released during the same schedule as their youth campus film.

Even before the movie "Sunrise" officially released, the rival started to quietly manipulate the narrative. Allegations of an affair involving the assistant director, urging those who’ve seen "Divine Catcher" not to watch "Sunrise," and resurfacing Xia Siyu’s past scandals. All these tricks just for a Valentine’s Day release. Imagine if they were to release in the Spring Festival or summer vacation slots, who knows how much more mud they would sling.

This kind of public opinion trouble, if you handle it, you’ll be criticized for getting involved officially; but if you don’t, and let the rumors spread, it will indeed affect some sales. He replied, "Rivals are sending trolls."

Xia Siyu glanced at Bo Yan, who was still peeling shrimp, and hearing this, was not in a hurry, just smiling: "Why rush? I’m still peeling shrimp."

Indeed, when faced with trolls before the movie’s release, Bo Yan felt a bit helpless, lacking both the budget for marketing and the energy, especially unsure of the movie’s feedback, so he hadn’t responded. Now seeing overwhelmingly positive reviews, he finally had the time to deal with these buzzing flies.

Though having someone to help stir up publicity behind the scenes, he didn’t mind playing along with them.

Seeing him so calm, Xia Siyu instantly felt relieved. As long as Bo Yan said it was manageable, she believed no task was too challenging. She smiled and asked, "Want some water?"

Bo Yan nodded, so she handed him the straw from her previously sipped Coke, and Bo Yan took a sip. Xia Siyu still held the water cup, and Bo Yan felt a bit puzzled, turning to ask her, "What’s up?"

Xia Siyu shook her head: "Don’t move. Turn your head back."

Though a bit confused, Bo Yan turned his head, and Xia Siyu searched his temple, finding a stray hair and plucking it. The tip of the hair was slightly yellowish.

Not yet gray, but not far from it. Recently, while Xia Siyu was flying around, Bo Yan was only getting more exhausted. Especially accompanying her to Nanyang, though they settled overseas distribution while there, returning home meant even more accumulated work, plus running to several screening venues.

Bo Yan is an artist, although he maintains himself well, and men do tend to age slightly slower than women. Some male artists even mature charmingly in their forties or fifties, but for ninety percent or more of female celebrities, by their forties or fifties, they end up playing mothers.

But indeed, these days have been tough on him. With Xia Siyu flying around for business deals, a series of promotions before "Sunrise" premiered, and other work mostly fell on Bo Yan.
