Chapter 1150: Chapter 1141 Everyone Loves to Complain (3)
The teacher uses him as a cameo, and he learns directing from the teacher, two old foxes, each with their own cunning plans.
Xia Siyu looked delighted: “Alright, then when you return, you’ll do the laundry, cook, and take care of the kids for me, wearing an apron, waiting at the door with a big smile saying ‘Welcome home, dear,’ while serving me tea and giving me a leg massage.”
Bo Yan was speechless: “Tell me, apart from not taking care of the kids, which part isn’t your envisaged scenario? I’m the one throwing clothes into the washing machine, cooking the meals. I’m the one serving tea and water, and even the massage. When I ask you to massage my legs, you hit them twice and say your hand is sore. Or perhaps, are you planning to have a child for me to play with? Do you want to have a child for me?”
Xia Siyu quickly shook her head: “I’m not having one, I’m not having one! I definitely don’t want to have a baby!”
Although she still doesn’t want children, unlike before when she would grit her teeth and say “unless I make a name for myself, I won’t have one for the rest of my life,” Xia Siyu is now smiling, clearly not as resistant as before.
In other words, her fundamental stance hasn’t changed, but her mindset has. After spending time together, her relationship with Bo Yan has become more integrated. Initially just a young couple in love, now they have gradually opened their hearts, merging home affairs together, making them more like a married couple.
But whether or not to have children, apart from the couple’s relationship, family factors actually influence her judgment more. Recently, her relationship with Xia Youbiao has eased quite a bit. Her father’s reconciliation with her allows her to open her heart more, to understand and accept certain things.
Of course, he is just joking right now, as it’s their career golden period. He’s hesitant even to go public, much less to let having children delay her work.
A man doesn’t really care, all he needs is a little contribution. If he’s irresponsible, he can even completely be a hands-off manager throughout the entire pregnancy and child-rearing process, without worrying about childcare at all. Of course, he’s willing for the wife to have a baby.
But it’s different for women. For career women, especially female entertainers, having a baby is a hurdle. Your figure changes, your face might develop spots, and your job might be replaced by others. Confinement, taking care of the child, it’s taxing both mentally and physically. If you’re lucky, after several months, the audience still remembers you, and if you recover well, you can continue to play roles with a “young girl vibe.” If you’re unlucky, you go from first-tier to second-tier, from second to third-tier, the drastic shrinkage in status brings a huge contrast, and many entertainers fall this way. When the audience sees them again, they’re playing a mother to an actress only a few years younger than themselves.
Anyway, medical science is advanced now, and they are still healthy, having a child even at thirty-five or forty is perfectly fine. Family and career, of course, career is the most important.
Bo Yan tried to coax her: “Come on, have one, have one. Raising a beautiful daughter wouldn’t be nice?”
Xia Siyu shook her head again: “No, I’m not having one. Raising a beautiful one is fine with me, isn’t it said a daughter is a father’s lover from his previous life? I definitely don’t want to have a rival to play with.”
The two of them laughed and joked along the way, reached the living room, where Bo Yan and her stumbled over the edge of the sofa, both falling over. Bo Yan protected her head, and once they stabilized, he gently smoothed her hair, fixing her messy locks.
Xia Siyu hugged him tightly, her voice a little low: “I’ll miss you a lot when I don’t see you for a month.”
