Chapter 1796 Meeting (3)
But when they filmed a lifting scene, John couldn't hold it in anymore: "I want to come too!"
Xia Siyu looked back at him, and then said with disgust: "You? Are you okay?"
Men all over the world should not be able to listen to themselves as "no". John immediately puffed up his chest: "Why not? You are my partner, of course we need to come! How about using a substitute? Unless you use it too."
In fact, managers don’t want their artists to work more and get paid less. Although there is no danger in having someone watching next to you, it's just a filming, so why go to such great lengths. So he persuaded tactfully: "They have already rehearsed. It's a waste of time."
John turned to the director and asked for his opinion: "Director, can I give it a try?"
Of course, the director hoped that the actors would come in person. He smiled and said, "That's fine, but..."
But what but, when he heard the word "yes", he immediately went to practice the movements excitedly.
Returning to the stage soon, Xia Siyu moved elegantly. Although her strength was slightly lacking, her movements were quite accurate. But it was much more difficult for John. Movements like this are not something you can practice just by looking at them. But John was very persistent. If the movements were not standard, he would continue practicing until he passed this one.
Due to his efforts, the filming progress was greatly slowed down. At the end of the day's shooting, I had only practiced the movements and completed one-fifth of the progress.
Originally, Xia Siyu could finish the project tomorrow, but thanks to John, it would be a day or two late.
John himself felt good: "It doesn't seem that difficult?"
Xia Siyu rolled her eyes, "It's not difficult, but thanks to you, I have to go back two days late."
"Isn't that great? I'll invite you to have a drink." John didn't pay attention to the sarcasm in her tone and put his arm on her shoulders skillfully.
"Okay, is it Romano Conti?" If you want to treat me, then I'll kill you hard.
"What's the point of red wine? If you want to drink it, drink something strong."
"If it's Maotai that's fifteen years old, that's fine." She doesn't choose, Maotai is fine too. It would be better if it can be discounted.
But John was most afraid of drinking white wine, so he quickly withdrew his arm: "Your Chinese white wine... wouldn't vodka, gin or brandy work?"
"You won't drink, right? Then I'll go back." Xia Siyu also moved her arms, "I haven't done enough exercise today. Do you want to go for a run for an hour?"
"Not enough exercise" is a mockery of him for slowing down his progress, and a lot of time is spent on exercising for him.
John yelled: "You are so unlovable."
"Thank you, I'll just assume you're complimenting me." Xia Siyu didn't take it seriously at all. She wasn't cute anyway, and she had nothing to do with John.
The two of them were used to quarreling with each other. When John quarreled with her, she would quarrel back. If John teased her, she would tease him back. They were just talking, and no one took them seriously.

When Xia Siyu returned to the hotel, she first reported to Director Ji and the people there that she might be two days late, and even contacted the program team. After all, she has other activities, and her daily schedule is full. The work matters were settled, and she was just about to tell Bo Yanye about it. Unexpectedly, Bo Yan sent a message first: "Dear, I may have something to do here, and I will return home two days late."
Oh, it seems that she doesn't need to speak anymore. Xia Siyu replied: "You go about your business, don't worry about me."
Bo Yan asked her: "You should be wrapping up tomorrow, right?"
Xia Siyu said: "Originally it was tomorrow, but it will probably be postponed for two days. It's just right, we can go back together."
Bo Yan asked: "Is there something wrong with you at work?"
"It's not a problem, the filming progress is a little slow. I've already said hello to Director Ji."
Bo Yan nodded and suddenly asked, "Are you exercising now?"
It really is. When Xia Siyu was chatting with Boyan, she was on the elliptical machine in the hotel. She stepped on the pedal, and the machine rotated regularly while replying to his message. But Xia Siyu replied: "Yes, but how did you know?"
After all, she was riding an elliptical machine, not a treadmill. At such a slow speed, there should be no obvious deepening of the breathing sound. Moreover, the hotel's gym was quiet at this time, and there should be no other background sounds.
"Oh, I heard your machine, what, didn't you?"
"Yeah." She still felt a little surprised, but she didn't think too much about it. Bo Yan is always smart, so it's not surprising that he can guess.
"Oh, then you can practice, I won't disturb you anymore." Boyan hung up the phone with a smile. Xia Siyu hung up her headphones and listened to music. This time she got off the elliptical machine and went to the treadmill next to her to start running.
Soon, she seemed to hear the sound of the gym door being opened, and then the treadmill next to her seemed to be opened.
But she ignored it and didn't care. Although Quebec is not like Vancouver, there are a lot of Chinese people. Walking in some neighborhoods in Vancouver, it even feels like you are in China. But she didn't want to say hello to outsiders too much.
In fact, Xia Siyu is not a particularly socially awkward person in private. When she is interested, she can go straight to the point and quickly mingle with other people. But if she doesn't want to chat, she would rather stay aside and just want to say hello to familiar people.
Especially after debuting as an artist, although she is famous, she also has more troubles. Especially in the past period, she was surrounded by negative news, and she was afraid of being thrown eggs when she went out to play. Although she doesn't care about other people's eyes, she is not interested in being scolded. Although the years when everyone was shouting and beating her have passed, the habit has been retained.
If she thinks something is interesting, she will still find ways to integrate into it. But if she is not interested, she will hide in the bustling city, try not to attract other people's attention, and will not pay special attention to others.
Although it is strange that someone comes to the gym at 9 o'clock in the evening to run, she will not ask about it.
She ran for a long time, and even the treadmill on the next table stopped, but she didn't stop. But at this time, a message came on her mobile phone, so she pressed the pause button and opened her mobile phone to read the message. It was from Bo Yan: "Are you still exercising?"
Xia Siyu replied: "Almost done, I plan to do some relaxing exercises and then finish."
Bo Yan nodded and replied: "Don't tire yourself out."
Xia Siyu was about to reply when a waiter in the back said: "Sir, Madam, our business hours are almost up."
Xia Siyu didn't even turn her head and replied to Bo Yan: "Okay, got it."
Then she said: "Waiter, can you get me a bottle of Perrier? I want it cold."
