The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!-Chapter 356 - : Obediently Listening (5)
Chapter 356: Chapter 356: Obediently Listening (5)
Bo Yan felt like he was precisely like the type of bad uncle who lures little girls with candy, deceiving an innocent little bunny into a wolf’s den before gobbling it up.
He once spent his university years engrossed in rigorous study, aiming to become a famous scholar, establish his own school of thought, then take under his wing some proud disciples to propagate and enhance his beliefs and ideas for generations to come. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
To his surprise, his first disciple turned out to be Xia Siyu.
And under such circumstances, no less.
But Xia Siyu wasn’t someone easy to handle, even at a time like this. She wouldn’t just lie down and obey; she was restless and terribly uncomfortable.
Bo Yan lowered his voice, deliberately using a prolonged, rich tone to entice her, “If you don’t listen and keep fidgeting, I won’t teach you.”
After these words, Xia Siyu really froze as if she were spellbound, looking at him without moving an inch.
She indeed drank a bit too much just now, but she didn’t lose her composure as before because she was preoccupied with her troubles.
She had never shown the most vulnerable side of her heart. Her mother’s matter was her heart’s greatest secret, as well as her role model.
But there was no one around her to confide in. Her relatives—her father and brother loved her, but they also had to consider the thoughts of the Tong lady and Xia Sicai as well as the family. She didn’t have any friends, and Qin Baizhou, being a man, had to maintain a proper distance for the sake of propriety. Wei Jingjing came too late, only getting to know her three years prior. Though responsible for her daily life and work, she was more like a colleague with whom she got along well; there were some secrets Fei’er didn’t wish to reveal to her.
As for Zhou Weiwei, even though she and Xia Siyu were classmates and friends during their insignificant earlier times, Xia Siyu knew that Zhou Weiwei wasn’t without ulterior motives. Besides, Zhou Weiwei was also busy with her career as an artist. Such matters, she wouldn’t discuss with Zhou Weiwei either.
Despite being surrounded by a host of people—assistants, bodyguards, agents, makeup artists, as well as fans, and haters—she could be recognized by someone on the street within ten minutes.
Yet, she didn’t have any close family or friends, living like an isolated island.
If she hadn’t become familiar with Bo Yan recently, if she hadn’t been drinking tonight, if not for the mixed doubles blow by Li Weiyi and Shang Feifei, she probably wouldn’t have spoken of such matters to Bo Yan.
She had considered transitioning for a long time, aiming to star in serious, meaningful films that could stand the test of time.
Only, she had never felt such an urgency as she did today.
Winning the title of ‘Best Actress’ wasn’t something you could achieve just by working hard. After entering the industry, she was entirely self-taught, and the acting teachers who were hired merely gave her some casual guidance. She was very young then and hadn’t thought so far ahead. Later she was besieged by haters, and handling them every day exhausted all her energy, leaving no room to think about transitioning.
And humans tend to be lazy by nature. She considered herself serious about acting, and she wasn’t bad at it either, otherwise she wouldn’t have been nominated for Best Actress. But being nominated wasn’t enough; she wanted to climb higher and stand farther!
Deep down, she actually knew Bo Yan’s abilities, and she even admired him a bit. He was a Ph.D. student during his academic years, and quickly won the ‘Best Actor’ award after starting his acting career. He relied on his own strength, not his family. She was a poor student in school, and after acting for years without winning a single award, she was also mediocre in acting.
When Bo Yan said he would teach her and that she had to be obedient, she truly lay quietly waiting for him to speak.
