The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!

Chapter 559: Chapter 558 Missing Him (4)
 

This sentence was later accompanied by subtitles that read “Diligent and devoted father.”

It seemed like Qin Baizhou was making plans, fulfilling the duties of an agent. The audience also found it amusing to watch.

However, if viewed from the perspective of the sexes, it was a manifestation of a desire to control.

Although Xia Siyu was slow to catch on, after Qin Baizhou’s confession, their relationship subtly changed without them realizing it. Even if Qin Baizhou acted nonchalant, and even if Xia Siyu believed him when he said, “My liking you is my own business and doesn’t require your response,” the change wasn’t in their physical relationship, but in their mentality.

While Xia Siyu claimed to have a P-friend relationship with Bo Yan, she wouldn’t accept Qin Baizhou, and would ignore his advances. The more he approached, the more she would retreat. As for Qin Baizhou, no matter what he did, he would always think of her and Bo Yan, constantly tormented by uncertainty. Xia Siyu might not have noticed at the time, but as time passed, she would inevitably sense the difference and grow more distant.

After finishing the interview, she and Qin Baizhou returned to their hotel room. From the moment the interview began, the following camera was ever-present. Xia Siyu had gotten used to being filmed, and although she initially felt some resistance when they returned, it had become muscle memory for her. She also guessed that since they were notified of evening recording, they wouldn’t be allowed to sleep comfortably; something was bound to happen.

As expected, the prank from the show’s crew arrived soon after. At four in the morning, when people are in deep sleep, new guest stars knocked on the doors of each resident guest, and the first to visit Xia Siyu.

The crew probably knew that Xia Siyu was a tough cookie and a highlight of the program, relying on her to boost viewer ratings by stirring trouble.

Unexpectedly, the guest who disturbed the others, including Qin Baizhou, seemed somewhat disheveled after being woken up, unlike their usual composed selves, not tidied up at all.

Only Xia Siyu was different; she had double-locked her door, pulled the chain, put on earplugs and an eye mask, turned off her phone, and skilfully switched off the microphone. She even left only one camera on, which could barely capture the foot of the bed. These actions were reminiscent of what she did in Sicily.

Someone knocked on her door, but she didn’t hear or see anything. After about ten minutes of knocking without any response from inside, the guest star had no choice but to wake up the others. Eventually, everyone gathered in front of her door, and naturally, Qin Baizhou was there too.

By that time, it was past five in the morning, the sky beginning to brighten. Fearing others might again misinterpret Xia Siyu as being “pretentious,” Qin Baizhou took it upon himself to call her. But as he raised his hand to knock, the door opened on its own.

As Xia Siyu stepped out and saw the group of guests outside, she remained calm, “Good morning, what’s for breakfast?”

Good morning, what good morning? They were all up already, and she was the last to rise!

Luckily, Xia Siyu didn’t wear makeup, appearing bare-faced on camera, which at least saved some face for the production team.

Qin Baizhou offered her his arm, and while doing so, didn’t miss the chance to throw shade at Bo Yan, “You must be exhausted from filming in the Northwest lately. That’s why you slept so deeply and didn’t hear the knocking.”

Xia Siyu didn’t pick up on his words; she was accustomed to being straightforward, “No, I’ve been getting up around this time lately. There’s not much to do in the village, so I usually go to sleep at nine.”

While the others were still laughing and joking, Qin Baizhou was still pondering. If she slept at nine, then she and Bo Yan wouldn’t have much time to interact, right?
