Chapter 537: Chapter 536: From Young to Old (12)
This time, it was no longer her own imagination, but she was fully integrated with the people living here; even though filming hadn’t started, the character seemed already alive in her mind.

Soon, seven days had passed.
Two days ago, Xia Siyu’s period had ended, and she was like a little beast released from a cage, frolicking in the woods. She was incredibly free during this time, able to play however she wanted — nobody treated her like a star, and she could run freely without having to care about others’ gazes. The only annoyance was that her period was still going on, and going without a pad was always more comfortable than wearing one.
Before, Xia Siyu had dared not to enter cold water, but now that restriction was completely gone, and she could play however she wanted. Under the guise of visiting lonely elders, she was actually scampering all over the village. Whenever it was mealtime, Wei Jingjing would look for her everywhere like her mother, shouting, “Xia Siyu, come home for dinner!”
She also complained to Song Fengzhi, “Why doesn’t your family’s Bo Yan do something about her? She’s just causing a ruckus! There’s something wrong with Siyu here,” she pointed at her own head, “and Bo Yan has no issues, so why does he indulge her!”
Song Fengzhi was also annoyed, “Who can control your family’s Xia Siyu? She’s so wild, absolutely useless except for being pretty! You saw it yourself, didn’t you? Yesterday she bit such a huge mark on my brother’s neck, nearly scratching his face to shreds!”
“Bo Yan was willing, it’s his fault for clinging to our Siyu! If he’s capable, let him find someone else!”
“Do you think I don’t wish that? My brother graduated with a doctorate, he’s a lecturer at N University, comes from a prestigious family; what kind of woman can’t he find? I don’t know what he sees in her.”
“Pfft, our family’s Siyu has even more pursuers, she gets so many flowers and private messages every day that her legs go weak! There are plenty who are better than the Bo Family.”
“Damn, a classic case of beauty but no brains, my brother really drew the short straw!”
“Still better than you, you’re flat-chested.”
Song Fengzhi and Wei Jingjing glared at each other, simultaneously ‘hmpf’ed, turned their heads away, mutually loathing the sight of each other.
Damn, both artists and their assistants are annoying.

However, Bo Yan and Xia Siyu had already been here for over half a month. They had been in contact with Director Sun over the phone; the film center’s setup was nearly complete, and they could start shooting in another half month.
If they were to start shooting, they’d have to stay with the crew, and that certainly wouldn’t be as leisurely and free as now. Moreover, being with the crew, they would have to avoid each other. Although there were many couples within the crew, nowadays, one fears that a careless leak could lead to exposure, which definitely wouldn’t be as relaxed as the current situation.
Furthermore, in two days, Xia Siyu had to return to Yancheng for a new episode of “Me and My Agent.” Qin Baizhou would come to pick her up personally. This was part of her job, she couldn’t simply skip variety shows.
This trip alone would take at least three to four days. Qin Baizhou had arranged brand endorsements and live events for her in Yancheng, and there would be several days where he wouldn’t see her.
In short, the gist was to make the most of the time available.
That evening, after Bo Yan had finished his meal, he also had to help with threshing the sun-dried grain, clean up, and store it properly. Once all the work was done, he went to the bathroom for a long soak without saying a word, washing himself clean.
He had waited ten days, finally reaching today; he definitely couldn’t let it slip away casually.
When the night grew silent, and the host family had also turned off their lights, ready to rest, he opened the door to Xia Siyu’s room, and just as he locked it from the inside, a voice came from outside…
