Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Blocking the Door (4)

The knocking from outside grew more incessant, and Wang Ju could no longer hold back his urging, “We’ll just talk about the screenplay, it won’t take too much time.’
She glanced back at Bo Yan, who had securely stepped into the bathtub. She even took into account the sound of the toilet flushing.
Just as she was about to open the door, Bo Yan called out once more, “Come back. ”
Xia Siyu was somewhat puzzled, thinking he had more instructions for her.
But Bo Yan slightly furrowed his brow, said nothing, but reached out a hand- and first pulled out her bathrobe sash.
Xia Siyu was startled. She had just come out after a bath, wearing nothing beneath her bathrobe, which Bo Yan had just brushed off the stains from.
When Bo Yan pulled her bathrobe sash, her clothes instantly parted to each side.
That meant, she was about to be completely exposed in front of Bo Yan!
Xia Siyu instinctively tried to grab her clothing. If it weren’t for his cold expression and the knocking at the door, she really might have erupted into a rage and started hitting him, you know?
She’d been in the industry for so many years; she wasn’t that easy to bully!
Bo Yan’s fingers did not intentionally touch her body, nor did his gaze hold even a shred of prying or lewd emotion. He simply pulled the sash apart, gave it a firm tug, then tied it tightly again.
The whole process took only a few seconds. After he tied the sash, he conscientiously stepped back, his gaze still as calm and undisturbed as ever, “There are a lot of people outside.”
His reminder suddenly made Xia Siyu realize the situation. Indeed, if it had been only him it would have been fine, but now there were many people outside. If her clothes suddenly opened again like before, her reputation would be utterly ruined in an instant.
Wait, why was it “fine if only he was there”?
But Xia Siyu didn’t have time to ponder much. She turned around, immediately closed the bathroom door, and then hurried to put on a bra and a tight-fitting tank top.
The door opened, and the first to come in was Wang Ju, followed by the screenwriter and Shang Feifei’s team.
Wang Ju and Shang Feifei were here to discuss minor adjustments to the movie’s screenplay. Generally, if there are changes during filming, the screenwriter will adjust in tandem with the crew, but the will of both actors involved must also be coordinated; changes can’t just be made thoughtlessly.
This time, it was Shang Feifei who proposed the revisions, and she had convinced Wang Ju. A film doesn’t necessarily demand the same moral correctness as a TV series, and a male lead’s indecisiveness between two women can be accepted. However, she felt that to highlight the character differences between the two women, the conflict needed to be made more apparent — such as adding a scene with some physical shoving between Xia
Siyu and her.
When Wang Ju entered and saw Xia Siyu with wet hair and wearing a bathrobe, he understood why she had opened the door slowly. He also noticed the late-night snack on her table: “Weren’t you saying you were on a diet tonight?”
Xia Siyu smiled, “Well, this was sent by Bo Yan, it would be a waste not to eat.”
Most people in the crew were aware of the recent online spat between her and Bo Yan and just laughed it off. They knew the two didn’t get along, but it wasn’t as vicious as the online ridiculing. After all, they were colleagues and would not allow their cooperation to become too strained during the partnership.
However, Shang Feifei looked around and seemed to notice the beer cans in the room—two of them—along with the autograph tube next to the trash can. For one person, Xia Siyu’s portion size seemed a bit too large.
But she said nothing and instead turned to look back at the bathroom door that had been closed..
