Chapter 1236: Chapter 1227: The Approaching Storm (5)
Although some people call their girlfriend "sister-in-law," using this term indicates a pretty close relationship between Bo Yan and Xia Siyu. If a man likes a woman, you can tell by whether he introduces her to his social circle. Introducing her at least shows that it’s more than just a fleeting romance; he’s starting to make her a part of his life in various aspects.
A few friends clearly understood and immediately called her "sister-in-law."
Xia Siyu retorted, "What ’sister-in-law’? You should call him ’brother-in-law.’"
She was not "Mrs. Someone" or "Madam Someone." She was Xia Siyu, and even when it came to her husband, he should be called "Brother Xia" rather than "Little Sister-in-law"!
The group of people nearby laughed even harder, "Alright, sister-in-law, we’re taking brother-in-law away."
With everyone getting their own fair title, Xia Siyu stopped making a fuss.
At security check, Xia Siyu didn’t linger. After Bo Yan passed the security, his friend said from behind, "Bo Yan, Miss Xia hasn’t left. She’s watching you."
Bo Yan couldn’t be bothered to correct his "title," his heart was rather chaotic.
All along, it was him who watched Xia Siyu leave his side to work, to hustle. He was the one who called her up, took her to the airport, watched her walk proudly, her back straight.
But unexpectedly, upon hearing that Xia Siyu stayed put watching his back, his heart suddenly felt like it was being tugged, slightly sour and bitter.
He’d rather be the one who always waits than let Xia Siyu be the last one waiting.

Xia Siyu arrived at the film set in the afternoon. She had slept well, but her eyes were a bit swollen, and everyone thought it was because of last night’s late public relations effort, given that she was still trending, her topic constantly lively.
Jiang Bumei was no longer there, presumably urgently called back home. Xia Siyu couldn’t be bothered about what punishment she received. All along, the woman jumped up and down, completely unable to affect Xia Siyu in any way, and she continued to calmly shoot her scenes.
Instead, Bo Yan’s departure made her a bit downcast. But some people feel depressed and overwhelmed, while Xia Siyu works harder at boxing when she’s upset, genuinely making her scene accomplice scream.
In the drama, she’s a cold-blooded assassin; men only slow down her draw speed.
Action scenes clearly slow down progress compared to dialogue scenes. The extensive fights, rolls, jumps, all require countless practice and coordination, not to mention the explosive and smoke effects provided by the special effects team.
Although she’s the female lead, she’s not the focal point of the show. Most emphasis is on the male lead, and with Jiang Jiahe getting inserted, some of her original scenes need to be shared with Jiang Jiahe.
Xia Siyu couldn’t be bothered, as long as the character setting doesn’t change, her paycheck is hers, and her billing position doesn’t alter, she doesn’t mind giving up a bit of time.
In film history, there’s a genius actor who won the Oscar for Best Actor with only 29 minutes of screen time in "The Silence of the Lambs." When mentioning this movie, everyone thinks of the male lead Hannibal, does the amount of screen time matter? It’s all about the quality of acting.
This way, Xia Siyu gained a few days of leisure time, freeing up some time to shoot the reality show "I Really Want to Fall in Love with You."
Due to this commotion, Qin Baizhou, under the banner of wanting to connect more with Xia Siyu, officially "matched" with her.
