Chapter 1235: Chapter 1226: The Approaching Storm (4)
She’s only twenty-seven! Although she doesn’t fear getting older or the passage of time, twenty-seven is still twenty-seven. As for what comes after thirty, we’ll deal with that later.
Bo Yan smiled helplessly, “Alright, little Xia Siyu who’s two and a half, it’s time for your bath. Be good, take your clothes off.”
“No way, no way…”
“Come on, come on.”
Soon, the sounds gradually faded into the splashing of water, becoming indistinguishable.

The next morning, Xia Siyu was openly late, with no one bothering her or urging her. She and Bo Yan slept until almost noon before getting up, and then she even took him to the airport. His director friend and a few others were there, but since Bo Yan could bring them to resolve things, it meant he absolutely trusted them, so she wasn’t shy about greeting them openly and even took their theater scripts to look over.
Although they’d met briefly the night before, Xia Siyu quickly fell asleep, and the friends had been taken to the police station to make statements, so this was their first formal meeting.
Xia Siyu wasn’t wearing heavy makeup, as it wasn’t necessary. She’d have to put on makeup when she got to the theater group later. Because it was the Southwest border and the weather was hot, she just wore a white T-shirt and jeans, sitting in the private room and checking their theater scripts.
Honestly, she was completely different from the rumored willful and domineering Xia Siyu, who was always caught up in scandals and hitting people with high heels, especially regarding her supposed dislike for Bo Yan. Who knows how these two managed it, as they clearly looked like a sweet couple! Bo Yan looked at Xia Siyu with eyes full of affection, while Xia Siyu, though acting natural and carefree, seemed to always lean against Bo Yan as if she couldn’t sit up properly.
It’s undeniable, their acting skills are really… extraordinary. If you didn’t see it with your own eyes, you’d never know these two were a couple.
Moreover, although Xia Siyu didn’t know much about the structure or framework of a play, she understood acting. After all, she’s been acting for seven or eight years, and the few points she mentioned really hit the mark. The director and several playwrights exchanged glances, and the director said with a smile, “Miss Xia really is… The points you mentioned, Bo Yan also brought them up before.”
“Oh? Really?” Xia Siyu glanced at Bo Yan and then brazenly said, “It’s because he thinks like me.”
The group of directors and playwrights burst into quiet laughter. Bo Yan didn’t respond, he just peeled an orange for her and popped a segment into her mouth. Xia Siyu ate it without looking, “Ah woo,” and after finishing, complained, “It’s not sour, but can you remove the pith? I usually don’t eat the pith of the orange.”
Bo Yan replied good-naturedly, “Orange pith has benefits, like regulating qi and resolving phlegm, calming the liver and reducing dryness, and it’s good to eat after drinking.”
Xia Siyu gave an “oh” and teased, “If you’re too lazy to peel, just admit it. Eventually, I’ll just let Jingjing peel them for me.”
Ah, the person Bo Yan is, he shook his head helplessly, while the directors and playwrights around chuckled quietly.
When it was time to leave, Xia Siyu held onto his arm, refusing to let him go. At least she knew they were outside and didn’t dare hang onto his neck. Bo Yan spoke a lot before she was reluctantly willing to let go, “Okay then.”
A beauty lowering her eyes, even when disgruntled, is a sight to behold. Everyone around laughed, “Miss Xia, we’ll be taking Bo Yan away now.”
Unexpectedly, it wasn’t Xia Siyu who objected but Bo Yan, who said, “Don’t call her ‘Miss Xia,’ call her ‘Sister-in-law.'”
