With work so busy, Xia Siyu had long since pushed aside any private flirtation or anger between them from her mind.
These two were professional actors, accustomed to not bringing personal emotions into their work. One second they could be sarcastically mocking each other as if in a life-or-death struggle, and the next, once the camera was on them, they could immediately become intimately entwined as if lost together at the ends of the earth.
They were currently at work, and regardless of what was going on privately, at least since the start of the job, they had appeared to be in perfect harmony, demonstrating a tacit understanding.
The following cameras had gotten used to their squabbling off- screen, just now Xia Siyu had even kicked someone when she got out of the car. But when they teamed up, they were amiable, showing no sign of any issues. Even Bo Yan often looked in Xia Siyu’s direction—those who didn’t know better might think he was harboring a crush on her.
After so many days of shooting, the production crew had come to understand the temperament and mettle of the cast. Xia Siyu was known for her fiery temper, which could only be soothed if approached the right way. When angry, she had to vent before things could progress smoothly. Even with cameras around, she would only restrain her emotions a bit—when she wanted to make a scene, she would still go ahead.
But her personality, wearing her emotions openly on her face, actually endeared her to a lot of passersby, and her fanbase had grown significantly. In this day and age, where everyone is insincere, a bit of genuine emotion is indeed precious.
As for Bo Yan, he was the perfect idol from the inside out, with no faults to pick at. Hardworking, full of fighting spirit, can cook, knowledgeable, and
able to shoulder responsibility. Most reassuring for his fans was his attitude towards the female guests.
Strictly professional, a gentleman and fair. He didn’t engage in creating romantic pairings or disparaging one person to promote another. Whether it was Shang Feifei, Li Yiru, the eagerly assertive Wu Di, or Hu Juyue and Zhou Weiwei, he treated them all equally. And there was no need to worry about him stirring up same- sex pairings; he treated Wang Zisu more like an annoying little brother, even displaying a perfectly measured amount of disdain at times.
He and Xia Siyu shared a room, and at the beginning, fans were terribly worried. But as they watched the two work seamlessly together, maintaining a surface-level peace despite their private disagreements, they became the pair fans worried about the least.
If only all male-female pairings could follow Xia Siyu’s example! Even if it looked like the two were kissing, fans would believe it was absolutely nothing more than malicious editing by the directors!
That was the situation at the moment; the cafe was bustling with activity, and the tedious and complex work kept even Bo Yan from being able to monitor Xia Siyu’s condition constantly, let alone the audience. Meanwhile, the other group of five had reached the square and, following the scenes shown in “The Beautiful Legends of Sicily”, they made their way along the street toward the church, taking photos where the heroine sat down for a smoke, and heading towards the seaside following the path…
After walking through the streets, they also visited a famous restaurant en route.
The production team thought the seventy euros given to the guests each day would be torturously insufficient. Little did they know that Xia Siyu was good at saving money, and Bo Yan could cook; combined, they had somehow saved a total of four hundred euros over nine days. This amount was more than enough for five guests to dine out and enjoy a good meal.
Therefore, the show deliberately directed them to a restaurant to order a table full of dishes, even tagging the two staff members who had been busy working.
But Xia Siyu and Bo Yan were not swayed at all, and moreover, Bo Yan finally noticed something different about Xia Siyu:
