Even though they were sitting very close, the two of them didn't dare to show even a hint of closeness in such a large-scale event. They both sat upright and proper.
After the little backstage episode just now, rumors about "Bo Yan and Xia Siyu not getting along" quietly started spreading again. It wasn't exactly news anymore—aside from a few very close insiders and paparazzi, almost everyone in the circle believed these two were putting on a façade of harmony but were actually at odds. Previously, Bo Yan had posted photos to dispel the rumors, maybe because he wanted to prevent conflicts between their respective fandoms and calm things down. But calling it harmony would be an exaggeration—it was more like two colleagues who didn't see eye to eye but had to work together anyway.
Not long after the show started, this little rumor made its way around the entire waiting circle backstage. Soon enough, even some audience members who were well-connected caught wind of it.
