"No...it's nothing!"
Si Jin was forced to sit on the high platform in the tea room.
The hand with its distinct knuckles ran through Xiao Linyuan's hair, a few veins on it slightly bulging, as if it was trying to suppress something.
When answering, he clenched his teeth, trying his best to keep his voice from sounding abnormal: "I accidentally knocked over the chairs, they're all... they're all scattered! Let's get back to work!"
Si Jin didn't hear what the employee outside said, because Xiao Linyuan had already finished "reporting back" and stood up.
With one hand supporting him, and with the other, she loosened his tie.
She brought the bottle to her lips, wiped her lips meaningfully, then leaned contentedly on his shoulder, whining playfully, "Didn't I tell you not to run around? I missed you so much."
Si Jin chuckled lightly, then playfully pinched the back of the other's neck, as if rewarding a well-behaved big dog.
He complained, "You wrinkled my shirt, frayed my belt, and dirtied my tie. How am I supposed to go out later?"
"Leave however you need to leave." Xiao Linyuan raised his hand and pulled the person closer to him, his tone becoming somewhat harsh: "Leave my house the way you left, and leave here the way you left later."
Just as he was about to do something mischievous, a woman's voice shrieked from outside: "Actor Xiao! You forgot to bring the first-aid kit in! What are you doing in the break room?!"
Some people said nervously, "There's been no movement. Could something really have happened?"
"What should we do then? Kick the door down."
Xiao Linyuan's eyes sharpened. Not wanting outsiders to see Si Jin's current state, he decisively tried to stand up.
But the next second, Si Jin grabbed him by the collar and bit him back.
They really did bite back.
Sharp canine teeth pierced the corner of his lip, then quickly separated, and then—bang!
The door was kicked open, and everyone stood at the entrance, where they saw Si Jin leaning against the marble platform, dressed neatly and meticulously.
And Xiao Linyuan, who was leaning on the table, his hands wrapped in a tie, and his lips stained with blood.
Several young girls were the first to speak up: "Actor Xiao, are you alright?"
"It's nothing." Xiao Linyuan raised his eyes, wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, and his ambiguous gaze fell on Si Jin not far away.
That's ruthless, but he likes it.
Therefore, for Jinjin's sake, we must strive to live a good life and work hard.
Xiao Linyuan stood up straight, straightened his tie, and clutched a small, stained part of it in his palm, as if hiding some crucial little secret.
She chuckled and explained, "President Jin is a miracle worker. She pressed a few acupoints on me, and I feel much better now. Thank you everyone for your concern."
"Because I was sick, I accidentally bit my lip and it doesn't look very good. Please keep the photos to yourselves and don't share them with others, since I have to go to the film set later."
Her voice was warm and gentle, giving people a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze, which was just right and instantly caused many young fans to scream.
"He's so gentle! I'm dying!"
"He truly lives up to his reputation as a former national heartthrob! He's so handsome, almost otherworldly. It's such a miracle that he ended up working for our company!"
"What do you mean by 'former national heartthrob'? He's still a national heartthrob after his comeback, okay?"
"Alright, that's all. Give the first-aid kit back to them and get back to work." Si Jin decisively dismissed everyone, leading Xiao Linyuan towards the door, and deliberately bypassed several excited, trembling girls.
He practically had his jealousy written all over his face.
Xiao Linyuan smiled, about to say something, when the system notification in his mind sounded again: [Due to your philandering, the villain's favorability has decreased by 2, current favorability is 8]
