The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!-Chapter 1702 - 1694: Courage (Part 3)

In the original script, right after Han Yifan finished speaking, the focus would shift directly to them. In the script, the Prince instructs his men to lift the coffin, and because one of the men accidentally trips, the poisoned apple stuck in the Princess’s throat falls out, saving her.

However, there was a problem— 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Due to Han Yifan’s delay, what was supposed to be a three to five-minute scene stretched to over ten minutes without resolution. The two playing the Prince’s attendants are also employees of the park and, as such, have multiple roles: they’re also responsible for the fireworks display later.

It was agreed upon when they joined the play that if there was a delay, the two employees couldn’t continue "lifting the coffin". The Prince himself would have to step in, pick up the Princess, stagger a bit, allowing her to expel the poisoned apple.

After Han Yifan’s confession, the spotlight lingered on them two for too long, and no one cared about the two folks on stage.

Xia Siyu had grown tired of lying there. Playing dead isn’t as easy as it seems. Keeping entirely still in such heat is torturous, not to mention being annoyed by nearby buzzing mosquitoes. Finally, hearing that Han Yifan and Shang Feifei had embraced, she felt the scene had concluded.

But the spotlight didn’t shift for ages. Although since the start of the show, she and Bo Yan had always attracted the most attention. However, the emotional drama from Han Yifan’s confession drew all the eyes away. Shang Feifei might not be as lively as her, but she had plenty of fans. At the end of the show, this sudden scene snatched the spotlight.

It’s not just the park’s lighting technician favoring that pair, but the program crew as well. By the time everyone remembered the two on stage, they’d already started fighting.

Despite her typically carefree nature, Xia Siyu took her acting seriously. Yet, leaving her alone for ten minutes without moving was unbearable.

The two soldiers took advantage of the dark lighting to set up the fireworks, leaving only Bo Yan onstage.

Already annoyed with Bo Yan that day, being left forgotten on stage, forced to act with him, only made her fury skyrocket.

Especially after the two soldiers left, leaving only her and Bo Yan on stage, his hand constantly flicking in front of her face. Keeping her eyes shut to play dead, she didn’t know if Bo Yan was swatting mosquitoes, thinking instead he might be bullying her under cover of darkness.

Initially, she ignored it with her eyes closed, but gradually started frowning, her hand slowly forming a fist. Had it not been for the play, she might have jumped up to brawl with Bo Yan.

Finally, the lights returned to them. Bo Yan went with Plan B, picking up Xia Siyu, pretending to stagger, and falling onto her.

Heaven knows, his fall was part of the script, but landing on her with his hand on her chest was genuinely unintentional. However, Xia Siyu, already pushed to her limit, would blow up at even the smallest thing.

It was like returning to that cold war with Bo Yan. Although his heart screamed "I want to sleep with her," he played it cool on the surface. Making her think she’d been the one flirting with him left her embarrassed, feeling she’d wronged him.

So when the other three groups expressed their love, didn’t he say he had something planned too? She waited all day, but saw nothing, his preparation seemed for nothing.

Damn it, if she believed him again, she’d take his last name!

As Bo Yan stood up in the play, Xia Siyu, waking from her slumber in the plot, really woke up, but instead of a bashful, confused glance at the handsome Prince, she gave him a slap without hesitation.

The audience, through her mic, heard her loud and clear: "You bastard, what the heck do you think you’re doing, taking advantage of me!"

The audience froze for a few seconds, then burst into laughter. After all, Han Yifan already altered the plot, and this was just a small play, nobody took it too seriously.

Bo Yan was stunned for a few seconds before continuing with the original plot: "Beautiful Princess, I am the Prince from the neighboring kingdom. I defeated the evil Witch and saved you from the curse."

Xia Siyu yawned — not on purpose, just tired from lying there, a natural reaction. Anyway, since Han Yifan allowed adlibbing, she let loose: "Nonsense, your eyes scream one thing: ’I want to hook up with you.’ Admit it if you dare!"

Despite her unpredictable behavior, Bo Yan, after a momentary daze, actually nodded: "Yes, I do like you."

By then, his lines had deviated from what he memorized, known only to him and Han Yifan. But with Han Yifan and Xia Siyu altering the script, no one cared about his changes.

Xia Siyu wouldn’t fall for it, gave an arrogant hum: "So what if you like me? I’m the Princess, plenty of people like me, the whole kingdom even, why would I need you? You’ve got money, so do I, my dad’s the King, I’m the Princess. You’re handsome, I admit, but surely there are other good-looking guys in the kingdom. You saved me, thank you, I can give you money, but I won’t like you, give up!"

The changes she made were getting crazier, yet the audience was thoroughly entertained. The content was modified, sure, but the two performed flawlessly, their lines and actions perfectly synced. Being big stars, they had no airs, and the audience, tired of monotonous content, found the adaptation refreshing and fun.

Bo Yan hesitated: "Then what would it take for you to agree to be with me?"

Xia Siyu replied: "Even though you killed the evil Queen to break my curse, that only proves your courage, not your love. You merely fancy my looks; if a less attractive woman lay here, you’d leave. You preach about inner beauty, but you wouldn’t listen. If you truly like me, confess your love here, in front of everyone, then I’d consider it."

Xia Siyu knew that she probably wouldn’t hear a real confession from Bo Yan anytime soon. Even though she initiated this to play along, secretly hoping he would confess his love on the show.
