Xia Siyu was still enjoying the aftermath of the battle scene, and she was perfectly fine with her husband being surrounded by a group of beauties.
Suddenly, the spotlight was on her.
Her face had already appeared on the big LED screen in front of her. Bo Yan was on the left while she was on the right. Their images were shown together on the mega screen.
Since Xia Siyu and Bo Yan’s first meeting till now, they had never appeared on the same screen except for their wedding photo.
One had to admit that the joint appearance of a cold and distant man and a beautiful woman was indeed pleasing to the eye.
Xia Siyu was still in her ‘spectator-like’ posture, with one leg folded over another while her eyes were full of expectations for the scene. Her expression seemed to contain some form of eagerness as if she wanted very much to work with Bo Yan.
Seeing her image on the screen, she slowly removed her folded leg and straightened her back. Even the smile on her face disappeared. She seemed to have become slightly conservative with her actions as if she were trying to cover up something. This aroused a wave of discussions.
Bo Yan’s indirect rejection of Li Yiru was fresh in the minds. What about Xia Siyu?
Not only was the crowd at the venue focused on her, but even the live-stream comment section erupted in a frenzy. What differed between both cases was the silence at the venue, and the nasty comments on the comment section.
“D*mn! D*mn! D*mn! Please stay away from my Yan Yan! Who wants to work with this rapacious sugar baby!”
“Look at the anticipation on Xia Siyu’s face. Her desire to win Teacher Bo’s favor is overflowing!”
“Even though they look good together, this can’t happen. Xia Siyu, screw off!”
“Emcee, please widen your eyes. Which part of them matches? I’d rather watch my house’s brother1 and Li Yiru’s film than look at this woman.”
” Previous commenter, please screw off. Even Li Yiru can’t make it. I’d rather watch Shang Feier again.”
…
Under everyone’s intense scrutiny, Bo Yan raised his microphone. His expression was immensely composed. But if one had to give a description, his brows were a little furrowed and his eyes contained an element of distaste.
He lowered his eyelids before throwing out his words. ” I don’t want to work with anyone.”
Silence descended in the venue.
One could feel the tension in the air.
Ever since Bo Yan debuted, there were no rumors about him, and he had expressed direct rejection toward personification. Even with Li Yiru just now, he had only indirectly turned her down. This was the first time he had outrightly and unhesitantly rejected someone.
…
The camera turned toward Xia Siyu and the emcee asked again. ” What does Xia Siyu think about the collaboration?”
What are my views?
Xia Siyu was mad.
Even though the management team of the award ceremony had taken everyone’s phones at the start, which blinded her to the online comments, she could see the look of distaste in Bo Yan’s eyes.
She had maintained her distance from him, which was always a good 500 meters away. The duo had never had a single shot together, never attended the same variety show, or lived together. Their work and personal lives did not seem to intersect. Even when they met on the red carpet, they would pretend not to see each other as if they were strangers. She had never bothered about his affairs, so he should not provoke her too.
Others could take it, she could not.
Xia Siyu snatched the emcee’s microphone. Instead of facing the camera, she stared at the back of Bo Yan, who sat at the front. She spoke, “Who wants to work with you? It will never happen in this life. Give up on this idea!”
