The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!

Chapter 989: Chapter 980: Live Evening Party (4)

The person next to her complained, "Why did you ask her for an autograph?" Bo Yan’s fans and Xia Siyu’s fans are sworn enemies. There have been countless clashes between the two fan groups, but the only instance of a celebrity personally stepping in to face off against them in public was Xia Siyu. Not only did she go after Bo Yan’s fans, but she even cursed out Bo Yan himself. Although time has passed, and Bo Yan has collaborated with her on two movies and one variety show, Xia Siyu remains the number one nemesis of all Bo Yan fans!

The other person said, "She’s a celebrity too."

After a pause, she added, "And she’s really beautiful."

Xia Siyu, who had her autograph book snatched away by her, was so furious she was ready to throw down, but upon hearing this last comment, she barely managed to purse her lips and hold back.

Just then, Bo Yan actually appeared. He was dressed relatively simply: a black casual trench coat, black casual pants, black sneakers—an understated outfit that struck a perfect balance between not being overly formal yet not too laid-back. He stood tall and striking. Although he was accompanied by bodyguards, he made no effort to act like an untouchable celebrity. Amid the enthusiastic cries of "Mr. Bo" and "Yan Bao" from fans, he simply smiled and said, "Please everyone, maintain order at the airport. Don’t trample, don’t crowd, and don’t disturb other passengers’ travels."

A bodyguard tried to block an overly excited fan from getting too close, but Bo Yan went over to her intentionally, shook her hand, and gently reminded her, "The weather’s getting colder, and it’s close to New Year. Take care of yourself and stay safe."

Bo Yan’s voice naturally carried a deep, bass-like resonance. He always used his real voice in his movies. With this voice reverberating near her, the fan was absolutely overwhelmed with excitement.

While the scene bustled with activity on Bo Yan’s side, Xia Siyu still hadn’t left. She turned back to look at the lively crowd surrounding Bo Yan.

Truthfully, it would be a lie to say she didn’t feel even a twinge of imbalance. Back when she was at the height of her fame, she too had scores of fans chasing her with laughter and cheers. But when her reputation fell to rock bottom, even though her commercial value remained unchanged and her core fanbase stayed loyal, the overall noise had undeniably dwindled.

She appeared as though she didn’t care about any of it—the insults, the indifference—but she was still human. To go from throngs of adoring fans to scarcely anyone showing up at her metaphorical doorstep, no one could truly remain indifferent or maintain an unshakably calm mindset.

Jealousy? Maybe just a little. However, jealousy was quickly replaced by another thought—she wanted to safeguard Bo Yan’s reputation too.

For a single male artist, whether he’s an idol or an actor, fans were indispensable. Her relationship with Bo Yan had been messy from the start, which was why she had vehemently denied it before. And now, even she couldn’t fully distinguish whether her reluctance to go public about their relationship was for herself or for Bo Yan.

Fan love is sincere, but at times, pitifully fragile as well. A single "romantic relationship" could shatter it entirely. And if the subject of that romance happened to be her, the person Bo Yan’s fans despised the most, the backlash would be even more intense. If it were Shang Feifei instead, perhaps the waves of opposition wouldn’t be as overwhelming.

She knew she didn’t care about others’ opinions, and neither did Bo Yan. Since they got together, Bo Yan had rarely taken on endorsement deals, especially not those quick-flipping, three-month ambassador contracts that were obvious cash grabs preying on fans. He had also stated on live programs that he didn’t plan on staying single for life. He kept a low profile, attended fewer public events, went on fewer variety shows, and rarely organized fandom activities.
