The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!

Chapter 438: Chapter 437: New-Type Relations (5)
 

“Have you ever thought that maybe after all the effort you put in, you won’t achieve the reward you desire?”

Xia Siyu said calmly, “Perhaps. But if I don’t even try, then what reward can I speak of?”

Her words left Qin Baizhou at a loss for words.

Some people work hard desperately just to escape their poor old selves and live a different life.

But Xia Siyu worked hard desperately to fulfill the beliefs in her heart. She could have taken it easy, continued making small rom-coms, starred in some romance movies, and married into a wealthy family before she turned forty, bearing an heir and then living carefree as a lady of high society. This is what many entertainers strive for as their ultimate goal in life.

But she was not willing to settle. She had ideals and aspirations. Perhaps the path she chose was harsher and more tortuous than others, yet she embarked on the journey without looking back.

And he liked her for exactly that.

“Alright, you have to work hard then, strive to become a Best Actress and show everyone what you’re capable of,” he said.

Xia Siyu nodded, “I will.”

The conversation dried up there, as there wasn’t much else for them to continue talking about. She was heading to the Northwest in a couple of days, and today and tomorrow afternoon, she had an advertisement and a magazine cover and spread to shoot.

Before leaving, Qin Baizhou checked Bo Yan’s Weibo. Bo Yan had been active on his Weibo that day, posting a photo from a report he gave at a meeting at ten in the morning. Qin then checked the super topic on Bo Yan and saw that fans had gone to pick him up at the airport late last night; the location of the pickup and the meeting that morning were in the same city.

That meant he had left Yancheng yesterday and had gone to a meeting this morning. Xia Siyu had her birthday yesterday, so he probably didn’t have much time to see her.

Qin Baizhou’s heart was somewhat relieved.

Although Qin Baizhou guessed that Bo Yan didn’t have much chance to woo her yesterday, he still felt a bit uneasy.

He reflected for a moment. If he had confessed outright yesterday, their relationship might have become even more awkward if Xia Siyu had rejected him, potentially ruining even their friendship.

But he wanted to at least convey his feelings for her before she left. It didn’t matter whether she reciprocated or not, as long as she knew what was in his heart.

Xia Siyu left the hotel and only then remembered about Shengxia Yanyu. While in the car, she messaged Shengxia Yanyu, “Sorry, something came up today and I probably won’t be able to meet.”

Shengxia Yanyu replied quickly, and his tone didn’t convey the slightest bit of dissatisfaction, “No problem, there will be plenty of other opportunities to meet in the future.”

Xia Siyu didn’t overthink it and put her phone in her pocket.

She was shooting an advertisement today. The business dealings she had sabotaged before were now all coming back at once. The client for this cocktail advertisement was one of them.

Since the advertisement was for cocktails, it was supposed to convey the feeling of coming out buzzing from a party, so they asked her to wear a rather revealing cocktail dress.

Because Qin Baizhou was accompanying her and Xia Siyu was well-regarded, the advertisers paid her extra attention and even rented a small yacht. Xia Siyu went to change and headed to the makeup room. As she took off her clothes and looked in the mirror.

Damn that Bo Yan, he really went all out. He had kept his hands orderly away from her arms, legs, and neck, even her back was untouched and snow-white. But at his favorite kneading part, he seemed to have treated her skin like putty, leaving it a patchwork of blues and purples.
