The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!-Chapter 834 - 825 Work (5)
Chapter 834 -825 Work (5)
Bo Yan was momentarily taken aback. He first set aside the soup and dessert he’d bought, then asked, “What’s the matter that you’re in such a hurry? Is it work-related?”
He carefully observed Xia Siyu, who had a happy expression in her eyes, suggesting that it was nothing upsetting.

Xia Siyu immediately nodded, “Yes! It’s Director Ji! Director Ji is going to shoot a martial arts film and has invited me to be the lead actress!”
Bo Yan paused for a moment: “Is it that famous martial arts director? I heard he was casting for a new film, but hadn’t he already chosen his cast? And they started shooting a couple of days ago, right? Why would he suddenly ask you to join?”
Xia Siyu nodded, “That’s the one. The previously chosen female martial artist, Zhang Fan, who was his junior, injured her lumbar spine while filming today. Although the surgery won’t affect her life in the future, she will need a long recovery period and definitely can’t shoot the movie now. Then, Director Ji heard from Director Wang Ju. Remember during the shooting of ‘Storm’? There were martial arts scenes and some fight sequences. Director Wang probably thought my moves were pretty good, so he recommended me to Director Ji. It just so happens I’m also available, isn’t that a coincidence?”
Indeed, it was impressive. The actual hits during filming, like the slap that made Shang Feifei cry or the beer bottle that knocked someone unconscious, were fast, fierce, and accurate.
Xia Siyu was also quite proud: “Didn’t I cram a lot of classical literature recently? Even though I know my understanding is superficial, now it’s really coming into play. The role I’m playing is in a period film, as a martial arts master’s daughter. I may not be good at other moves, but I can definitely throw punches!”
She set down her luggage, threw a Left Hook and a Right Hook, gestured a bit, and even kicked her legs, did a split on the spot, and then jumped back up with a leg kick. She then proudly showed off to Bo Yan, “See, see, your wife has both power and grace.”
Bo Yan casually grabbed her wrist and twisted it behind her back, making Xia Siyu instantly cry out for mercy, “I was careless, didn’t dodge! You young people have no respect for martial arts!”
Bo Yan let go of her hand: “You’re still on your period, and here you are doing splits and high kicks.”
Xia Siyu realized something, “Oh, you should have said earlier, I’ll go check in the bathroom if I have any leakage.”
After returning from the restroom, Xia Siyu had again composed herself, calmly stating: “Anyway, I have to go film tomorrow—or rather, save the day.”
Not just that: “You’ve been drinking, haven’t you?”
Xia Siyu’s face was flushed; though the scent of alcohol had mostly faded, it was still detectable up close. That rascal, daring to drink alcohol during her period!
“Ah, it’s already the third day, it’s fine.”
“But, this shoot sounds like it’ll be quite exhausting and potentially dangerous. Look, even Zhang Fan, who specializes in martial arts, hurt her spine.” Bo Yan still looked worried. “I heard Director Ji insists on doing the dangerous scenes himself, he doesn’t even use stunt doubles, and for some dangerous moves, even the insurance companies won’t cover them. I know you can endure hardship while filming, but if something goes wrong, it could be risky.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be as careful as I can.” Xia Siyu has always wanted to film a martial arts movie, especially a period martial arts film, and now she finally got her wish. Plus, she wasn’t just playing a decorative role; she also got to perform some cool moves.
