Chapter 307: Chapter 307: Not Allowed to Leave (6)
Wei Jingjing was taken aback; their boss, Qin Baizhou, seemed to have been moody lately. Just now, he entered the makeup room alone with Xia Siyu, not letting her in and instead sent her away first.
She didn’t know how to answer. On one hand, Xia Siyu did live with Bo Yan, and something beyond friendship seemed to have happened between them. Whether Xia Siyu slept with him or he pressed Xia Siyu onto the couch to kiss her, such behavior did not align with Xia Siyu’s claim that there was no intimacy between them.
But on the other hand, Xia Siyu’s disgust for Bo Yan was genuine. She might not know about others, but she understood Xia Siyu too well. If she truly liked a man, she wouldn’t deliberately insult him or always be at odds with him. She would certainly take the initiative, the kind to make him fall at her feet.
Therefore, she would rather believe that the only possibility between them was—friends with benefits.
A relationship only of the body, without the feelings.
This was actually quite common in the entertainment industry. After all, with high pressure and surrounded by handsome men and beautiful women, sometimes one would film in a remote area for months without seeing other people, and even having to perform romantic scenes. It was too normal for emotions to spill over into physical relationships during filming, but once the filming ended, and they left the crew, such feelings naturally dissipated.
Artists are held by their own sense of morality, but how many possess such a high moral standard?
Xia Siyu, in fact, did, which is why her scandals were all fake. But now faced with Bo Yan, she became a bit unsure.
“You don’t have to hide it from me. The fact that I’m asking you this means I already have evidence,” actually, upon seeing Wei Jingjing’s hesitation, Qin Baizhou already had his answer. Unexpectedly, the little bunny he had nurtured and hesitated to harm was snatched away by a wolf.
Wei Jingjing had no choice but to say, “You can actually tell that Siyu’s disgust for Bo is real.”
He knew this as well, “And then?”
Wei Jingjing hesitated for a long time before speaking, “They indeed live in the same apartment. But they are not boyfriend and girlfriend. They also sleep in separate rooms; this much is true; I have no reason to lie to you.”
That is to say, there wasn’t too much depth in their feelings, perhaps just one or two physical contacts.
Although the hardest thing to accept hadn’t happened—Xia Siyu and Bo Yan were not in a live-in relationship. However, the fact that they lived together and Xia Siyu clearly didn’t want to move out—even though they slept in separate rooms—suggested that a relationship might have already taken place.
For a man, knowing that someone he fancies has been touched by another man conjures an indescribable feeling. Despite seeing such things often in the entertainment industry, he still felt as if he was being scorched.
Xia Siyu was so beautiful, innocent, and pure; it was natural for people to like her. He had always believed that as long as he stood behind her, supporting her, and driving away the flies that buzzed around her, the two of them would eventually become a couple.
He had overestimated himself, and her as well.
But it wasn’t too late for him, not yet. At least Xia Siyu still disliked Bo Yan, and they hadn’t continued further. If he just aimed higher, he should easily win her back.
“From now on, you’d better tell me everything about them, every little detail.”
Qin Baizhou looked at himself in the rearview mirror, showing a real smile for the first time.

Xia Siyu hurried to Wang Zisu’s dinner party, and upon opening the door, she found, to her surprise, that Bo Yan was also there.
