With that, Bo Yan’s performance ended.

“Cut!”

After the director’s order, the quiet crew became lively.

The director went up and nodded. “Teacher Bo, that expression was great! You did a good job conveying the emotions.”

The complicated expression in Bo Yan’s eyes dissipated as if they had never been in his eyes.

Then, his lips curled upward. “Thank you.”

Even though he was smiling, there was not much happiness or humility in his voice. Rather, it seemed to be tinged with a trifle disappointment.

When he closed his eyes, Xia Siyu withdrew her intense gaze too.

Wei Jingjing was standing beside her to observe her every movement and keep her in check. When she saw the expression on Xia Siyu’s face, she thought she had some tricks up her sleeves again. So she immediately grabbed her wrist.

The contact made her realize the coldness in Xia Siyu’s hand. She looked up at Xia Siyu’s face, which was composed. It didn’t contain any angry or resentful expression. On the contrary, there seemed to be an inkling of sad loneliness.

Wei Jingjing had followed Xia Siyu for three years. In all this time, all of Xia Siyu’s emotions were written on her face. She would directly express who she liked or disliked. Besides filming or netizens’ critique, she would hardly show this expression.

Did she suffer a heat stroke from the long wait and blazing sun?

Wei Jingjing carefully reached out and placed her hand on Xia Siyu’s forehead. “Are you okay?”

Xia Siyu angled her head and ducked her hand. She then nodded.

After filming, the film crew and other members rushed over to pack up. Bo Yan also went to the styling room to change his costume and makeup.

The advertising company had requested some makeup changes for Xia Siyu. Therefore, she had to go to the styling room next to Bo Yan’s.

When Wei Jingjing entered the styling room, Xia Siyu was at the last stage of her makeup. The makeup artist was touching up the highlights and shadows. Even though she had heard her assistant entering, Xia Siyu did not react. She just allowed the makeup artist to do her work.

Wei Jingjing took a look before tugging at Xiao Tang’s hand lightly. In a low voice, she asked, “Did she go next door to create trouble?”

Xiao Ting shook his head.

Wei Jingjing heaved a sigh of relief. However, when she lifted her head and saw the obedient Xia Siyu, she felt something was amiss with her. She just couldn’t quite put her finger on it.

Fortunately, the shooting process was smooth.

After doing her makeup, Xia Siyu realized the crew next door had mostly left, and the place was mostly cleaned up. She supposed Bo Yan had left the place too.

Segments of the advertisement were similar to the movie content. Xia Siyu had only finished shooting the movie last week, so the content was quite fresh in her mind. She wore the movie costume and performed according to the allotted persona. However, the memory of Bo Yan’s last expression suddenly entered her mind, and her expression changed.

“Cut!” The director shouted, “Teacher Xia, what happened? Your expression was perfect, but why did it change suddenly?”

This was Xia Siyu’s fault, which she admitted and apologized for it. “Sorry, I zoned out. Let’s do one more shoot and aim to finish it within that one.”
