Chapter 1057: Chapter 1048: Saying Goodbye to the Old and Welcoming the New (6)

Xia Siyu feared nothing in the world except being tickled. Especially her soles, underarms, and waist—those spots were practically guaranteed to make her laugh.

Bo Yan had barely tickled her twice when the figure under the blanket started shaking wildly. Tickling her again, Xia Siyu couldn’t hold back her laughter: “Hahaha! I’ll get up, I’ll get up, okay?”

She said she’d get up, but Xia Siyu still didn’t move. Instead, she stretched out her hand: “You help me up. Carry me over there.”

Bo Yan sighed: “If your legs are useless, you can donate them to someone who needs them.”

Xia Siyu had just gotten up, her face rosy from sleep, and she even pouted: “They are needed. Didn’t you have a good time using them last night?”

Bo Yan had been carrying her just fine, but upon hearing this, his face nearly turned red with embarrassment, and he almost dropped her. Thankfully, Wei Jingjing wasn’t waiting outside the door. She sensibly went downstairs, so she didn’t hear this exchange—otherwise, it really would have been awkward.

Taking advantage of the moment, Xia Siyu slid off his tilted arm and dashed into the bathroom. But before shutting the door, she tossed out another line: “Squeeze toothpaste for me!”

Bo Yan was both helpless and amused. This mischievous troublemaker had him utterly wrapped around her finger. And yet, he couldn’t help but indulge her, spoil her, and keep her on the pedestal she belonged.

Moments later, Xia Siyu emerged, and the two synchronized their toothbrushing postures and face-washing routines.

Xia Siyu only did her skincare routine, then threw on a random set of clothes. Her hair was a mess, and she grabbed nothing but her phone before dashing downstairs—as if she were a corporate worker rushing to catch the subway. After all, she’d redo her makeup, hairstyle, outfit, and accessories once she got there. Jewelry? She wasn’t bringing any—just her phone.

Just as she reached the door, she ran back inside, remembering the sandwiches she’d bought at the supermarket yesterday and stored in the fridge. She grabbed one with her teeth and bolted downstairs again.

Bo Yan watched her rushing back and forth, wanting to say something but missing the chance as Xia Siyu sped off. He could only shake his head, tidy himself up, and get into Song Fengzhi’s car to head to the cinema.

Although this year’s Spring Festival releases were somewhat affected by the pandemic.

Several movies chose to withdraw or reschedule their release dates, adding insult to injury for an already struggling theater industry.

However, for movies that decided not to pull out during the pandemic, theaters were deeply grateful.

Especially the biggest release of this Spring Festival: “Storm.” With Director Wang Ju at the helm—a renowned, top-tier domestic director—and an all-star cast of Bo Yan, Shang Feifei, and Xia Siyu, the film had everything: acting prowess, stunning visuals, and attention-grabbing buzz. From the very beginning of casting, Xia Siyu, Bo Yan, Shang Feifei, and even Li Yiru had made headlines with their endless drama.

Fans argued online until the point of explosion, but the lead actors continued doing their jobs while bystanders reveled in the spectacle.

Judging from the released materials, though, the acting, visuals, and aesthetic were flawless.

Because “Storm” chose not to delay its release, theaters gave it an astonishing 60% of the scheduling slots. Even with pandemic regulations requiring one empty seat between each occupied one, greatly impacting occupancy rates, the enthusiasm of fans and audiences remained undiminished.

Since the first teaser was dropped just before the Little New Year, “Storm” has been releasing snippets every two days—some with storyline reveals and others spotlighting individual actors. Among them, Xia Siyu’s solo teaser consistently attracted the most attention.
