Capítulo 1267: Chapter 1258: The Decision (Part 6)
She made a move, and Qin Baizhou was taken aback: “Siyu, you…”
Bo Yan also advised, “You should discuss it with them, after all, it’s business. And it’s nighttime now, it’s not safe for a girl to go over by herself.”
This isn’t their home country, and the safety is just average. Even if it were, he still wouldn’t feel safe with a girl taking a cab from the airport alone. Especially since Xia Siyu is a celebrity.
But Xia Siyu wouldn’t listen. Once she made up her mind, no one could dissuade her: “I’m going to the airport with you, I’ll see you off and come right back.”
Qin Baizhou didn’t care any longer. He had agreed to help the two of them out and didn’t alert anyone else, and was the only one around. Since Xia Siyu insisted on entering, he opened the passenger side door for her as well.
This action stunned both Xia Siyu and Bo Yan. Qin Baizhou’s expression chilled, “I must be responsible for my artist. At the airport, who knows what might happen. It’s the middle of the night.”
Unexpectedly, it was Bo Yan who said “Thank you” this time.
The tone was natural, and the expression calm, with no sense of treating him as a third wheel. But it was this “disregard” that made him feel even more uncomfortable inside.
Clearly, he had just hit Bo Yan and accused him of being heartless. Who would’ve thought that Bo Yan would really go public with Xia Siyu, causing Qin Baizhou to feel upset again.
Occasionally, Qin Baizhou raised his eyes to look in the rearview mirror. There wasn’t any inappropriate behavior from the two in the back, at most, just Xia Siyu leaning against Bo Yan, her head resting on his shoulder, their neighboring hands tightly interlocked.
This fine intimacy pricked at him subtly. The night road wasn’t actually long, but sitting in the front seat, he felt as if the darkness ahead was endless.
Maybe once it’s public, there would be no chance for him and Xia Siyu anymore. Even if he waited for them to break up and then tried to step in, the possibility was slim. At the moment, he suddenly recalled Xia Siyu’s final scene that Director Ji had just filmed.
How could it be, that it’s a movie of three people, yet I can never have a name. In the war of love, he had always been the one singing a solo on the sidelines.
When they reached the airport, Bo Yan quickly completed the check-in process. Fortunately, this was an international airport where few recognized them. With the boarding pass ready, he also had to go through security. Xia Siyu, hands in pockets, though intimate in the car earlier, was straightforward in their parting, merely waving goodbye: “Call me when you arrive.”
Bo Yan nodded as well: “You get some rest early, don’t overthink it.”
The two parted quickly, exchanging few affectionate words, without expressing any concerns, turning away simply like that.
As soon as Xia Siyu exited the airport, the wind blew, reminding her that earlier, when she had burned incense with the crew, it had gone out, an omen of bad luck. She hadn’t believed in superstitions at the time, and indeed, there had been no on-set accidents. Perhaps the misfortune was not in filming, but in something else?
However, there was no need to dwell on it. After all, they’ve come this far, and maybe going public is for the best, no more being on tenterhooks.
As for everything else, that can wait until tomorrow after she’s had her sleep.

Unexpectedly, this waiting lasted several days.
By the time Xia Siyu finished busying herself with Director Ji’s filming work and flew back from abroad, before joining the variety show, she had also received a request for an audition—again from Director Wang Ju, except this time it was in collaboration with abroad, with a bigger investment. There was a female lead role she found appealing and wanted to vie for.
However, at this moment, a twist occurred…
