The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!-Chapter 1704 - 1696: Verses of Loving You (Part 1)

On the night Bo Yan and Xia Siyu went public, they returned to the hotel from the amusement park and then immediately took a car to the airport.

The screenwriter revised the outline overnight. The new plot involved Bo Yan persuading Xia Siyu, using joyful scenes to contrast sorrowful ones, and using satisfaction in a virtual world to highlight the sadness in reality.

With this approach, the screenwriter worked quickly, almost writing at breakneck speed, and soon had the plot smoothed out.

After seeing the new plot, Xia Siyu realized she could delay her return, but she couldn’t stay idle any longer. Especially after reading the script, she discarded her initial stubbornness and immediately noticed the qualitative difference in the revised script.

Originally, the script followed her idea, resulting in a tragic and awkward ending. With this revision, the plot became much smoother. Xia Siyu had a basic sense of judgment; she knew immediately whether a script was good and if it could become popular. Although TV series and films aren’t quite the same, this script was a lot better than before.

She desired to smooth things out, finalize the script, and start filming as soon as possible, as she was eager to begin shooting.

The event in Yancheng allowed them to slip away from the hotel’s back entrance, notifying only the show’s director and Han Yifan, and they left under the cover of night.

On the way, they were always reviewing the script, discussing and analyzing, completely ignoring the public chatter following their announcement.

They returned to Qingcheng Apartment quite late, agreeing to meet the screenwriter early the next day to discuss the follow-up plot and strive to finalize the script sooner.

Moreover, Bo Yan had already submitted the setting for project approval. Although he was negotiating (coercing) with the TV station where the show belonged, hoping they would invest, he didn’t want to involve the station too much, lest it inserted insiders that could disrupt the quality of the entire series.

However, with his and Xia Siyu’s current appeal, they could definitely attract some curious onlookers. Ultimately, though, it would depend on the quality of the TV show itself, and the screenplay was of utmost importance. Fortunately, Xia Siyu had now let go of her previous obsession, focusing on producing a good script as the fundamental task.

After arriving home, whether it was due to being tired from filming variety shows recently or excitement over finishing the script, or perhaps simply happiness from their public announcement, Xia Siyu was extremely drowsy, falling asleep as soon as they returned without even washing up.

Bo Yan carried her from the car, brought her upstairs, and took off her makeup as usual, applying some skincare products casually.

She had indeed been exhausted, having crawled and climbed in the desert, attended the fairground rides and drop towers, and performed well into the night. Previously, she had completed filming Director Yu’s play in just over twenty days. Bo Yan, later contacting her teacher, received endless praise.

She was truly worn out; as soon as her energy ran out, she fell asleep instantly. He found it both heart-wrenching and amusing and opted not to wake her, letting her sleep soundly.

Taking a moment to glance at the trending topics, he found their public announcement was marked with a red "explosive" tag, despite initially thinking it wasn’t newsworthy anymore.

Additionally, among the top ten trending topics, eight were related to him and Xia Siyu, including the current episode of their show.

Both Bo Yan and Xia Siyu hadn’t paid for trending topics. He anticipated some buzz from their announcement but not to this extent, as they had been perceived as a couple by the audience for over a year.

However, opening the hot search page revealed a lively scene, with many gossiping night owls excitedly discussing the news with bloodshot eyes.

He glanced at his fan club, noting some lead fans couldn’t handle it and were leaving. Nonetheless, Bo Yan never casually took ads to exploit fans, nor pressured fans to purchase magazines. As for movies, while fans did organize exclusive screenings, most of his box office still relied on ordinary moviegoers.

Aside from Xia Siyu, he barely had any scandals, and if any arose, he cleared them up immediately. He also didn’t encourage his fan club leaders to brainwash fans. Occasionally, when fans caused trouble at Xia Siyu’s or other artists’ accounts, he privately instructed Song Fengzhi to manage the fan club’s senior leaders.

Let them leave; he couldn’t hide this forever anyway. He didn’t want Xia Siyu to suffer nor give fans illusory hopes through deception.

As for other matters, they could be discussed after waking up.

Returning to their own home for rest, Bo Yan and Xia Siyu weren’t aware that after their public announcement, a swarm of reporters had besieged the hotel where the show team stayed, surrounding it thoroughly. Once they learned Bo Yan and Xia Siyu had left overnight, they rushed to the vicinity of Qingcheng Apartment.

Unfortunately, the security at Qingcheng Apartment was too robust. The reporters only knew Bo Yan lived in this area but not exactly which building or unit. Reluctantly, they waited at the entrance for another day, but Bo Yan and Xia Siyu didn’t leave, only inviting the screenwriter over for an indoor discussion.

Neither of them planned to give any interviews, leaving the external matters to Song Fengzhi and Wei Jingjing to handle. The two, alongside several screenwriters, focused comfortably on discussing the upcoming plot developments.

Xia Siyu woke up from a nap and initially confirmed the outline direction agreed upon with the screenwriter. Satisfied, she then checked her messages. Her phone had shut down due to low battery, but once turned on, the inflow of messages nearly crashed it.

The messages undoubtedly pertained to their public announcement.

After finally silencing the notifications, she opened Weibo. Realizing she had logged into her main account, she quickly logged out. Despite logging out, her fans had already noticed her active status, creating an uproar.

Switching to a smaller account, she went to watch the gossip. Despite sleeping for the night, three of the top ten trending topics were still about them.

With a bit of mischief, she visited Bo Yan’s fan club, witnessing various reactions—rumors, curses, departures, and dramatic revelations—truly showcasing the spectrum of human behavior. Her fan group was relatively quiet; after all, loyal fans remained simply because they liked her and merely wished her happiness. New fans, aside from those attracted to her looks, mainly came from the "Fable CP" fan base, finding the news delightful.

However, Xia Siyu noticed a familiar figure in her top comments: Shengxia Yanyu.

She now knew Shengxia Yanyu was Bo Yan, though other fans remained unaware. Shengxia Yanyu was still quite famous in her fan circle—both devoted and wealthy.
