The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!

Chapter 437: Chapter 436: New-Type Relations (4)
 

Xia Siyu’s twenty-seventh birthday gift to herself was gaining a friend with benefits.

So far, she thought it was pretty good. Bo Yan probably thought so too.

But his coming alone wasn’t without benefits; at least now, with Qin Baizhou’s unexpected visit, he wouldn’t see a house filled with men’s products, at most some clutter.

As soon as Qin Baizhou stepped through the door, although there was a smile on his face, his eyes were definitely scouting around.

Besides a few spent trinkets in the garbage can, nothing was evident on the surface. Siyu, although tired from the previous night, slept rather well after the exercise, and with a weight lifted from her heart, she and Bo Yan shamelessly played their games. She was much more at ease and carefree.

Her composure, in the eyes of Qin Baizhou, seemed as though nothing had happened, as if she was just too tired and had slept soundly, now looking quite spirited.

Qin Baizhou laughed, “You must’ve been really tired last night; when I came to find you, you didn’t even answer the door.”

Xia Siyu hummed in response, “I really was exhausted last night, I passed out as soon as my head hit the pillow.”

She wasn’t good at lying, but what she said was indeed the truth. She was exhausted, and by the time Bo Yan left her be, she had almost instantly fallen asleep, not even knowing when he had left.

Qin Baizhou studied her expression; Wei Jingjing could tell whether she was lying, so naturally, Qin Baizhou could too. He stared at her for a moment and, seeing no evasion in her eyes, knew that she was telling the truth.

Although somewhat regretful that he didn’t confess his feelings yesterday, he was comforted to see that she had a good rest.

In two days, she would be off to the Northwest to film. The initial agreement was to go there to experience local life, perhaps staying with the locals for a few nights to observe the situation.

The official shooting was scheduled to start a month and a half later.

But just thinking about her going to film with Bo Yan made him feel a subtle imbalance in his heart.

He also asked, “The climate in the Northwest is dry with significant wind and sand. The food might not be what you’re accustomed to, and the living conditions won’t be as refined; you might have trouble adjusting to the environment.”

The place Xia Siyu was going to was a region on the Loess Plateau. Even though it had been rehabilitated and the situation had vastly improved compared to the past—there were more trees now—it was still dry, and years of soil erosion had created a terrain riddled with gullies and mountains.

When it didn’t rain, it was arid, and when it rained heavily, there could be mudflows.

Qin Baizhou indeed was worried, not only about her and Bo Yan but also about her health: “But anyway, they’re going to scout the place for a while. There’s no rush.”

Xia Siyu was nonchalant: “It’s fine; we’ll start by staying with a farming family. They do their scouting, and we do our observation.”

Qin Baizhou was taken aback: “You’re going to stay in the countryside right from the start? Can you handle that?”

The rural houses there were often old cave dwellings, worn from years of neglect and lacking in facilities. Although he knew that Xia Siyu was dedicated to her role, did she really need to go to such an extent?

Forget about internet access; some places didn’t even have running water!

Xia Siyu looked puzzled: “If I don’t live with the locals, how can I experience their life? And now, life there isn’t bad; most of the cave dwellings have been renovated with the government’s help. I have hands and feet; I can do work.”

Qin Baizhou fell silent for a long time before finally saying:
