Since entering the entertainment industry, Xiao Se has displayed his unique charm. Every appearance is like a magnificent hunt, with every step and every movement perfectly timed, like an elegant cheetah darting through the night.

His gaze was sharp, carrying an untamed power, as if he were born to act.

Whether it's acting in movies or TV series, there's no plot that Xiao Se can't control.

At this moment, Ah San rubbed the corner of his eye that had been bruised by Xiao Se and said helplessly to Ah Li, "Miss, aren't you going to do anything about it? He's starting to hit me now."

Ah San knew where the person was, but when he found them, before he could even say two words, the other brothers dragged him off to drink.

When they drink, those people like to talk nonsense. Ah San has brothers on his left and brothers on his right, so he tries to be a peacemaker, but he ends up getting beaten up by Xiao Se.

Although Xiao Se didn't do it on purpose, A-San still felt unhappy, so he thought of coming to find the young lady.

"You've attacked again?"

Ah Li looked at Ah San, who immediately snapped to attention and quickly explained, "Okay, it's just a small conflict between men, a fight... and it'll be fine."

"What caused this attack this time?"

“It was just a few people joking around. Xiao Se got angry, so I said a couple of things to him, and then he started hitting me.”

Some jokes are simply not meant to be made.

Although Ah Li had overheard them teasing Xiao Se in private, speculating about what kind of woman he would find in the future, whether she would be henpecked or a chauvinist at home, someone later brought it up to Ah Li, saying that Xiao Se liked a rich young lady.

At these times, Xiao Se would turn cold.

After all, one was a long-term bully and the other was a long-term victim. Could these two identities really be together?

The answer is clearly no.

The Indian man remained silent at this moment, seemingly deep in thought.

Just then, a steady knock came from outside the door.

"Come in."

Xiao Se, who was outside the door, pushed open the door and walked in.

Ah San snorted and turned to pour water to make tea, while Ah Li picked up a tea canister that was half-filled with tea leaves.

Ah Li looked up at Xiao Se and asked, "Aren't you busy right now?"

“Yes, I’m not busy, so I came to check on things,” Xiao Se replied, and then, at Ah Li’s prompting, he sat down on the sofa opposite Ah Li.

At this moment, Ah San suddenly stood up and chose to sit to Ah Li's right. He clearly still remembered his previous conflict with Xiao Se and adopted an attitude of never wanting to have anything to do with him again.

Ah Li smiled and poured a cup of tea for Xiao Se, then poured one for Ah San as well.

After they both took a sip of tea, Ahri gently stirred the tea leaves in the cup.

“Xiao Se,” Ah Li called out.

Yes, I'm here.

"If you find staying by my side to be torture, you can choose to leave," Ahri said calmly, lowering her head to continue playing with the tea leaves in her hand, without looking at Xiao Se again.

Ah Li's voice was calm, as if she were just talking about the weather today, but Xiao Se's expression changed slightly, clearly touched by Ah Li's words.

"No, this isn't torture..."

Xiao Se wanted to explain, but found that all his words seemed pale and powerless.

He watched Ahri silently, his eyes flashing with complex emotions.

There was pain, helplessness, and a deep sense of regret.

Ahri, however, turned a blind eye to all of this.

"Young Miss?"

At this moment, Xiao Se felt a profound sense of loss.

He wanted to get closer to the person in front of him, yet he was afraid of being rejected. His heart was filled with struggle and confusion, but at this moment he could no longer utter any words that could change Ahri's mind.

Silence gradually spread, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

Ah Li seemed lost in her own thoughts, while Xiao Se stared blankly at her, his heart feeling as if it were suspended in mid-air, with nowhere to rest.

Finally, he sighed softly, a bitter smile appearing on his face.

He stood up, nodded to Ahri, and turned to leave.

As Ah Li listened to the desolate footsteps fading into the distance, the tea leaves in her hand still slipped from her fingertips.

In the end, only Ah Li and Ah San were left in the house.

Ah San, who had initially thought the two were just joking, became anxious. He couldn't help but stand up and say in a tone filled with self-reproach and worry, "Why did you suddenly make him leave? Just because he hit me? We were just joking around!"

Ah Li looked at Ah San, smiled faintly, but did not answer him.

Ah San's expression changed, and he became even more anxious. He immediately took a step forward and said, "No, I have to go find him, I have to bring him back."

Ahri asked curiously, "Why? Don't you dislike him?"

The Indian man hurriedly said, "No, that's not how it is."

Seeing how anxious he was, Ah Li couldn't help but laugh.

This Indian guy was acting all indifferent just now, but now he's acting like this again.

"You don't understand!" Ah San was speechless when he saw that Ah Li was still smiling. He walked over and opened the door.

But the next second, he saw Xiao Se standing leisurely outside the door, and Ah San was instantly stunned.

Xiao Se even raised his hand and said to the Indian, "Hi."

Before Ah San could react, he heard Ah Li say, "We were just practicing the script. I didn't expect you to get so excited, Ah San."

Ah Li took a sip of tea, feeling the aroma flow between her lips and tongue, which was intoxicating.

Xiao Se patted A-San on the shoulder and said, "The room has been equipped with video recording equipment for a long time. The practice process has been recorded. You can come and take a look."
