Chapter 700: Chapter 697: Date (3)
The bus stop was still some distance away from the hotel where they were staying, yet neither of them mentioned taking a cab, preferring to walk through the tranquil streets instead.
It was unexpected that their first date after getting back together consisted of street food and bus rides, but both Xia Siyu and Bo Yan were very happy and cherished the opportunity.
Halfway through, Xia Siyu acted coquettishly, “I’m so tired, I can’t walk anymore.”
Bo Yan checked his phone, which showed there was only one and a half kilometers left to the hotel. The distance wasn’t too far; it probably wouldn’t even take five minutes by car, but walking would require twenty minutes.
Bo Yan guessed she didn’t want to call a cab either, but since they had walked a long way already, and she had been shooting all day, it was normal for her to feel tired, “Do you want me to carry you on my back?”
Xia Siyu immediately nodded, quickly positioning herself on the edge of the road with her arms outstretched, ready for him to carry her.
There was no helping it, she was his wife. He couldn’t just leave her there, so he could only say, “I can carry you, but don’t squirm around.”
Xia Siyu agreed with a nod. However, as Bo Yan approached, she took a running start and leaped onto his back. Xia Siyu was trained in dance and had always kept up with physical exercise, so her leap landed her squarely on his back, causing Bo Yan to stagger two steps, “Be gentle!”
Though he was chiding her, his hands were still honestly sliding beneath her knees to hoist her up securely.
Xia Siyu giggled without paying attention to his complaint, playfully swinging her legs up and down in the air.
This wasn’t the first time Bo Yan had carried her. Back in Sicily, when Xia Siyu had fallen asleep walking at night, he had, albeit reluctantly under the pressure of the program team, picked her up. But that time, Xia Siyu truly had been asleep, whereas now she was wide awake and spirited. Judging by her running start and leap just now, she was probably not as tired as she claimed and was merely acting spoiled to get a piggyback.
Bo Yan teased her, “You’re so heavy.” In truth, she wasn’t as heavy as in Sicily, when she had been completely asleep. Now, although she was fidgeting, at least she cooperated.
No sooner had he spoken than Xia Siyu knocked on his head, “Dare to call me heavy? Did I eat anything more than a few of your lamb skewers?”
In fact, her weight had increased recently because she had put on weight during the three months in the Northwest, fed by Bo Yan. But how could a Little Fairy be called fat? Besides, even though her weight had gone up, her body hadn’t become fat. The physical exertion from her daily work burned off most of her energy, and even though she didn’t go to the gym every day, her figure hadn’t grown chubbier, just more muscular.
Bo Yan laughed as well, “Yes, yes, you’re beautiful, and you’re right about everything.”
Xia Siyu gave a hmph, “That’s more like it.”
Bo Yan continued, “Actually, I hope you can put on a bit more weight. When we got married, you were too thin. It might have looked good on camera, but it wasn’t good for your health.”
It’s common for men to want their wives a bit plumper; ideally, gaining weight only in the chest and hips while staying slim elsewhere. However, most entertainers are too thin, looking as if their clothes are hanging on racks, empty and devoid of shape.
When they got married, that was when she faced the harshest criticism, upon leaving her former company. Although Xia Siyu didn’t care about criticism, no one likes being inundated with negative reviews, so it had certainly affected her. Moreover, changing companies represented the first crisis of her career.
