Chapter 1015: Chapter 1006 Jealousy (6)

“Ding,” the sound of the door opening echoed, and Wei Jingjing pushed the door open and walked in. She also had a room card for Xia Siyu’s room; sometimes, she needed to help tidy up or bring over some things.

Xia Siyu and Bo Yan had left earlier, and the massage session they had booked was supposed to last two hours, plus additional time for showering. It had only been about an hour and a half, so theoretically, the two of them shouldn’t be back yet.

She seemed to still be confirming tomorrow’s schedule with her colleagues: “Nine in the morning, right? We need to do makeup beforehand. We won’t shoot at noon—the sun will be too intense. You’ll definitely have enough shooting time… huh…”

Xia Siyu’s room was a suite, and from the entryway, there was a long corridor leading to the inner bedroom. Wei Jingjing noticed there was a trail of water near the entrance.

This was left earlier when Bo Yan had rushed back to shower before leaving again, dripping water in his haste without wiping it up. Wei Jingjing cautiously glanced inside—

She saw Bo Yan sitting upright at the edge of the bed, wearing a white T-shirt and flipping through a book. Xia Siyu was by the head of the bed, wrapped in a blanket, with only her hands outside, scrolling on her phone. When they noticed her peeking in, both of them turned their heads to look at her simultaneously.

Xia Siyu was the first to speak: “Do you need something?”

Wei Jingjing immediately retracted her head. While she hadn’t stumbled upon any intimate actions between the two, she sensibly turned her back to them while speaking: “Ah, no, not really. I just wanted to double-check tomorrow’s work schedule with you.”

“Oh, I see. If anything comes up, just contact me later.”

Xia Siyu’s voice was calm, and next to her, Bo Yan didn’t say a word, merely flipping a page of his book with an air of collected calmness.

“Right, sorry! I’m leaving now!” Wei Jingjing dashed out like the wind and quickly shut the door behind her.

Once the sounds outside had completely faded, Xia Siyu threw off the blanket, and Bo Yan finally let out a sigh of relief. He was just about to put down the book when he realized the book in his hands had been upside down the entire time.

The two exchanged looks and burst into laughter. Bo Yan stood up: “Just to be safe, I’ll go handle this first.”

He walked to the outer room, decisively locking the door and double-checking the curtains to make sure they were fully drawn before returning.

When he came back, Xia Siyu was applying lotion. Next to her was a stack of written drafts. Bo Yan picked one up to examine—it was the material Director Ji had mentioned, the screenplay for another urban crime thriller they were planning to film. The stack included the script and character notes.

The content wasn’t particularly remarkable—a major case unfolds at the border involving drug trafficking and murder. The police send the male lead to infiltrate and investigate undercover, where he encounters the local woman, Xiao Mei (the female lead), and the story progresses as they work together to bring justice.

The script featured intense action sequences, including gunfights, urban parkour, and jungle sniping. However, this time, Xia Siyu would challenge herself by taking on the role of an antagonist—though the boss lady character she played in “Storm” was the second female lead, she wasn’t technically an antagonist. But in this film, she would be the femme fatale of the drug cartel and the second-in-command of the criminal gang. Still, her character wasn’t entirely evil, as she harbored intentions to leave the crime syndicate and had done some good deeds in the past. Falling for the male lead further intensified her desire to escape.

What Xia Siyu liked most about the role was that this female lead wasn’t a stereotypical “female villain” or a lovestruck woman whose sole motivation to change came from romance. Her eventual death was in an act of saving others, not tragically romanticized.

Of course, with any production led by Director Ji, danger was inevitable—the film also included high-risk action sequences.
