Chapter 798: Chapter 789 Capital (5) Chapter 798: Chapter 789 Capital (5) Bo Yan looked completely composed as he peeled her off from him, “Alright, it’s getting late. I have to leave at three, let me catch a little sleep now.”

Ever since the two of them got together, Bo Yan always clung to her single-handedly. Xia Siyu had never seen him so devoid of desire. She was a bit unwilling to give up, tugging on his arm and shaking it, “We still have time.”

Bo Yan immediately nodded, “Right, there’s still one more hour for sleep. Behave and rest up; we need to get up at six in the morning, and it’s almost two already.”

It wasn’t just him, even she had to make up for the past few days of filming they owed. Both of them needed to pour all their energy into work, with no time left to rest.

Xia Siyu still didn’t want to give up, “We’ll have to part for half a month after this.”

Bo Yan continued along the lines of her words, “Yes, after half a month we’ll be able to meet again. By that time, neither of us should have taken any new roles, and we can spend some quality time together.”

A celebrity’s schedule is best when it’s packed. However, with the current pandemic, traveling abroad isn’t an option, and within the country demand exceeds supply. Even if film crews and shows are starting up, the restrictions are very severe. Investments are being cut back and approvals are harder to come by; many projects prepared for development had to be put on hold, allowing everyone a bit more leisure time.

Take “Storm”, for example: it’s been over half a year since they finished shooting, and the release was planned for the near future. The main actors, including themselves, were supposed to start the promotional tour. But due to the pandemic, they’re still struggling to get the Dragon Mark (the film distribution license). Even after obtaining the Dragon Mark, they have to vie for a release slot, whether it’s Christmas, New Year’s, or Chinese New Year’s slots. However, as of now, they haven’t received the Dragon Mark, so everything remains uncertain.

But even if “Storm” was to be released, during the promotional period before its release and the subsequent promotional tour, they would still have plenty of opportunities to spend time together. And then comes the New Year, when generally film crews don’t work unless agreements have been signed well in advance. When crews start approaching again, it will be after the spring, and they will have even more time for each other.

Xia Siyu didn’t expect that neither her threats nor enticements had worked on Bo Yan; she felt a bit disheartened. She started to become unreasonable, “You’ll be away for half a month, and the supporting actress on your crew has her eyes on you. Who knows if you can stay faithful during these half a month? What if she knocks you down with a laugh, and my exclusive stuff becomes communal? Wouldn’t I be at a huge loss then?”

Bo Yan found it both funny and frustrating, as he lightly brushed her nose, “What am I to say to you? If I had wanted to, what was I doing for the past seven years, and how come you still have a chance now?”

Xia Siyu spouted nonsensical arguments, “But back then you hadn’t ‘conquered’ me yet. Think about it, if back then I had slept with you and then run away, you wouldn’t have got what you wanted, and you’d feel angry inside, and you’d want to win me back. Now you’ve caught me, and you’re only thirty this year. If you’re already not up to the task, how are we supposed to get through the days to come?”

Bo Yan laughed at that, not expecting Xia Siyu’s little brain to be filled with such silly romance novel plots that she could actually come up with such scenarios.

He simply turned off the light, and in the darkness, wrapped his arms around her, “How could I not miss you? If I didn’t, would I have been able to send you off and see you back to Shangcheng? You little ingrate, knowing full well that I was ready, and yet you kept dragging your feet. It’s for your own good. You only have four hours left to sleep before getting up, so you’d better rest now or you won’t be able to act tomorrow.”
