The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!

Chapter 1019: Chapter 1010: Vacation (4)

Actually, up to this day, Bo Yan no longer feels much hostility toward this “love rival.”

The term “love rival” refers to someone who possesses the ability to compete against him, thereby capturing his attention. Back then, his relationship with Xia Siyu was still unclear, while Xia Siyu and Qin Baizhou had been friends for seven years and worked closely together. Qin Baizhou’s aggressive demeanor naturally made him feel uneasy.

Of course, this doesn’t mean he doesn’t take Qin Baizhou seriously anymore. It’s just that now, as circumstances shift, his relationship with Xia Siyu is stable, while Qin Baizhou’s various actions have basically proven that he’s out of the picture. Xia Siyu may seem reckless, but she has a mental ledger inside her. She’s very clear on who stands where.

The most important foundation of a relationship, whether between a couple or partners, is trust. He trusts Xia Siyu enough, and Xia Siyu trusts him too.

Bo Yan flipped through a few more pages. As he read, his brows furrowed slightly when he came across the words “live-in romance reality show.”

No wonder Qin Baizhou insisted on coming this time. He must be estimating that the turning point of Bo Yan and Xia Siyu’s relationship lies in those twenty days of overseas live-streaming on the cohabitation show. Although Qin Baizhou’s guess wasn’t entirely wrong—indeed, after the show, Xia Siyu’s wariness toward him sharply decreased—they were no longer like the past years, where she’d go out of her way to avoid him on the streets.

But love isn’t a math problem; learning a formula doesn’t mean you’ll get the same results. Love also doesn’t care about who came first—it’s all about who you click with. You can’t force love, no matter how angry it makes someone else.

A fly buzzing around doesn’t hurt, but it’s certainly annoying. Always buzzing nearby is enough to make one impatient.

Looking at the scheduled filming dates—hmm, May or June this year.

Bo Yan has been reducing his project load lately. It’s not that he doesn’t want to act; he actually has a whole stack of scripts in his hands. But if no particularly good script crosses his path, he’d rather not act than waste his time on mediocre roles. That said, around May or June, there is indeed one script he’s interested in, one he finds pretty decent.

However, the script is about overseas international students, and given the serious pandemic situation, he might not be able to film abroad. The production team, prioritizing safety, has yet to finalize the shooting schedule and might push it further down the line.

If he accepts the role, he’ll likely need to spend a few months overseas. But if he doesn’t, then he could free up time to join Xia Siyu on the reality show. With his level of fame and fanbase, he could choose to attend a variety show anytime he wants.

After all, it’s during a pandemic—even though the situation has improved domestically, many projects are still difficult to move forward.

He also feels he’s reached a plateau in his career after several years of continuous acting. It’s not that he’s worn out—it’s just that the past few years have consumed much of his spiritual energy and drive. He knows it’s time to slow down, hone his craft, and deepen his artistic essence. Xia Siyu is advancing in her career; he can’t afford to remain stagnant.

For her part, Xia Siyu worked swiftly on the ad shoot. Her cooperation was seamless—though she took a break at noon, once the shoot resumed in the afternoon, she focused and quickly finished the remaining parts. If it had just been a simple headshot, a brief video, and a few lines, it wouldn’t have taken more than two days. However, Xia Siyu had signed on as their brand ambassador, meaning she had to shoot a series of short clips. Smiling at the substantial paycheck, she decided it was worth the effort.

After wrapping up the shoot, she completed all her tasks before the year’s end. She took group photos with the entire ad team and finally kicked off her vacation!
