Shang Feifei’s assistant saw this and was very displeased.

Over at Xia Siyu’s side, Wei Jingjing had just rushed over and said, “Siyu, I went to the bookstore to look for those books. Apart from ‘Startling by Each Step,’ I found the other versions. Tomorrow, I’ll have Little Tang go to the bookstore again when she’s free.”

The so-called “Three Words and Two Shots” refers to the collection made up of “Stories to Caution the World,” “Stories to Wake Up the World,” “Stories to Enlighten the World” by Feng Menglong of the Ming Dynasty, as well as “Astonishment at a First Glance” and “Second Surprise” by Ling Mengchu. These works, which are a compilation of five books, are romances set during the Ming and Qing dynasties. They are straightforward and accessible, making for an easy read.

Xia Siyu gave a nonchalant “hmm,” while Shang Feifei was a bit taken aback on the opposite side.

As everyone knows, Xia Siyu was a complete academic slacker, 24K pure at that. The last time they filmed together, during the script read-through, she had no suggestions to offer, nodding along to anything anyone said, obviously exhibiting an utterly uneducated demeanor. However, Xia Siyu was quick-witted, and her comprehension and talent were very high, even for Shang Feifei, it was hard to suppress those brilliant moments when Xia shone so brightly.

Shang Feifei herself had suffered, trying to take advantage of Xia Siyu’s lack of culture only to end up being fiercely slapped by her, a slap so painful that she could not even voice her grievances.

...

And now, how long had she been with Bo Yan, and she was already being trained to be particular about which editions of books she read?

Or was it that, stimulated by her own words from last time, she also wanted to act well, to live up to Wen Qunxiao’s reputation, and had thus begun to exert herself?

Whichever it was, Shang Feifei couldn’t care less. Only with a strong opponent could her own talent truly be showcased. The Best Actress she wanted was not one that could be bought, and certainly not earned in a time “with no heroes, making a mediocre figure famous.” She sought a reputation like her idol, Teacher Wen, whose acting alone could achieve eternal fame!

The stronger Xia Siyu’s abilities, the more they could stimulate Shang Feifei’s potential.

The two parted ways at the main entrance, each getting into their own cars. Xia Siyu was quite carefree while Shang Feifei, more attentive, noticed that there seemed to be a few more paparazzi around than usual. Celebrities like them were used to being followed, and as long as it wasn’t too excessive, there usually wouldn’t be any direct confrontation.

Still, it was better to be cautious.

Xia Siyu returned to her hotel and actually flipped through the books Bo Yan had told her to read. The first story in “Three Words” was about a merchant’s wife having an affair and running off with another man. That man later got into trouble, his own wife remarried to the merchant, and the merchant’s original wife came back to become a concubine, ending in a morally complex drama with one wife and one concubine by his side. And wow, the part about the affair was written quite vividly.

At that moment, her phone chimed. Xia Siyu looked at it, and it was Bo Yan’s moments update. He had just posted about today’s shooting progress and what had happened, including that in his update.

Although he didn’t mention her by name, Xia Siyu knew that Bo Yan was reporting to her in his way.

So, Xia Siyu also took out “Three Words” from her legs, took a selfie with it, and posted it to Weibo.

Bo Yan didn’t reply to her message, but it stirred up her super fan, Shengxia Yanyu, who enthusiastically liked the post.

After doing all this, Xia Siyu closed the book contentedly, took a bath, got ready, and ended another happy day.

The sets of Shang Feifei and Xia Siyu’s productions were really next to each other, even sharing a wall between their studios. The two crews usually wrapped up their filming at the same time, and even their boxed meal orders were combined.
