Mr. Qin Wei Has Such Great Strength

Qin Wei's segment had finished recording.

Next, the trainees needed to film some private interview clips.

The livestream camera moved to a smaller interview room.

Whoever the staff called would go in for an interview.

Even if each interview only lasted a few minutes, there were a hundred people, so the workload added up.

Those who had not been called could move around freely for the time being.

After recording all day, everyone was exhausted. Most of them went straight back to the dorms to rest.

Si Di and Yu Ning headed back together. They had just reached the first-floor lobby beneath the recording hall when someone suddenly called from behind them, "Si Di."

A familiar voice.

Si Di slowly turned around and looked at Qin Wei, who stood high up on the steps like a noble orchid and a jade tree.

His clear, bright eyes blinked.

He asked lazily, "What?"

Qin Wei stepped down.

It had to be said that his proportions were exceptionally good. His wool coat was unbuttoned, with a white dress shirt beneath it, loosely tucked into his slacks.

His legs were straight and long.

His shoulders were broad, his waist narrow.

His upright back carried a powerful sense of security that put people at ease.

He descended the stairs step by step, stopped before Si Di, and said coolly, "Come with me for a moment."

Si Di frowned. "What? Did my dad ask you to bring me long johns again?"

Yu Ning froze beside him. "What long johns?"

Qin Wei ignored him completely and only looked at Si Di. "It's not Uncle Si. I have something to say to you."

Si Di narrowed his eyes warily.

Unfortunately, his gaze suddenly landed on Qin Wei's precise, thin lips.

What had happened that night flooded back into his mind.

For no reason at all, Si Di swallowed and stiffened his neck. "I'm not going. If you have something to say, say it here."

The air fell silent.

Si Di held his chin high with pride.

Qin Wei frowned at him.

Only Yu Ning stood off to the side, so awkward that his toes were practically digging into the floor.

The recording had just ended, and other trainees kept passing by.

Every person who passed had to politely say, "Hello, PD."

Si Di was losing patience. "Do you even have something to say? If not, I'm leaving."

With that, he lifted a foot to leave.

But his wrist was suddenly caught.

Qin Wei grabbed him and started walking. The scorching heat of his palm tightly restrained Si Di's slender, soft wrist.

Si Di was completely unprepared. He stumbled from the pull and was dragged away by Qin Wei.

As he walked, he cursed, "Qin Wei? What are you doing? A gentleman uses his mouth, not his hands. You petty bastard, can't you have some manners? Let go! Qin Wei, you dog! If I don't curse you out for one day, do you feel uncomfortable all over or something?"

He sounded fierce.

It was just that the way he was forcibly dragged along looked somewhat unconvincing.

Yu Ning did not have the courage to follow them. After lingering where he was for a while, he could only head back first.

As soon as he walked out of the recording building, he saw Huo Xiao leaning by the entrance.

Yu Ning went over and patted his shoulder. "Brother Xiao, what are you doing here? Aren't you cold?"

It was almost November.

The northern wind was howling.

Huo Xiao looked completely unaffected by the cold. He glanced behind Yu Ning and frowned. "Where's Si Di?"

Yu Ning shrank his neck. "PD Qin called him away."

"Qin Wei?"

Huo Xiao's eyes narrowed dangerously. With a trace of displeasure, he said, "Aren't you and Si Di inseparable best friends? Why didn't you go with him?"

His stiff tone made the already frigid weather seem several degrees colder.

When the arrogant king got jealous, he became even more arrogant.

"PD Qin isn't going to eat Si Di, is he? No matter how fiercely those two fight, they grew up together since childhood. They're childhood sweethearts—"

Yu Ning slapped his own mouth and changed the subject. "Neighbors. I mean, PD Qin and Si Di are childhood friends. PD Qin won't do anything to Si Di. But you, Brother Xiao, it's so cold out. Don't catch a cold. Come on, let's go back to the dorms first."

No matter how cold it was in the north, the heating indoors was always blazing hot.

Yu Ning stepped forward to grab Huo Xiao's arm.

Before he could touch him, Huo Xiao had already turned away to avoid him.

His long legs carried him several steps forward.

Then he suddenly stopped, glanced sideways at Yu Ning following behind him, and asked in a low voice, "What did you say to Si Di that day?"

It was phrased as a question, but his tone was certain.

The reproach in his eyes was even more obvious.

Only in front of Si Di would Huo Xiao put away the sharp, fierce thorns all over his body.

Before everyone else, he was still that unruly bastard with a wild gaze, both vicious and wicked.

Yu Ning knew what he meant. His gaze flickered away, and he did not dare look at him.

After several seconds of silence.

Huo Xiao exhaled and said coldly, "Just mind your own business. What happens between Si Di and me is none of your concern."

With that, he turned and walked away.

Only after he had gone far away did Yu Ning pat his chest and let out a breath of relief.

Damn it.

Huo Xiao was nothing but a cold-blooded animal!

When he needed you, he smiled at you. When he did not, he practically wanted to chop you to death with one palm.

Yu Ning shook his head.

Tch. He had originally supported Si Di and Huo Xiao's Earthfire CP, but now—

Heh heh.

He was now a die-hard fan of the Dichlorvos CP!

Even if he shipped Si Di and Ji Yan's Dead Machine CP, himself and Si Di's Dead Fish CP, or Si Di with literally anyone else, he would not ship Huo Xiao!

What Earthfire?

He was a monkey's animated skin—Hellfire!

Things had ended unpleasantly over here.

Over on the other side, Si Di and Qin Wei were even more at daggers drawn.

After being dragged into a private lounge and having the door shut, Si Di finally shook Qin Wei's hand off.

With a cold face, he said, "Dragging people away whenever you feel like it—PD Qin really has such imposing authority!"

Qin Wei said, "Such great strength."

"..."

Si Di's expression changed awkwardly. "Do you actually have something to say? Qin Wei, we're famous enemies in the entertainment industry. Before, we could go months without saying a word to each other. What's gotten into you lately? Why do you have so much to say to me?"

His little mouth had started chattering away again.

Qin Wei stared at him for two seconds, then asked in a deep voice, "Si Di, did you break up with that so-called warm, considerate boyfriend of yours?"

Caught off guard by that question, Si Di's face darkened. "Are you cursing me?"

"Then you didn't?" Qin Wei lifted his cool eyes and questioned, "Then what's going on between you and Huo Xiao?"

"Huo Xiao?"

A wise gleam flashed through Si Di's eyes, and he immediately nodded in understanding. "So you came to play disciplinary committee member? No, Qin Wei, do you have a grudge against me, or against Huo Xiao? Why do I suddenly feel like the one you hate isn't me, but Huo Xiao?"

"...Don't change the subject."

Qin Wei's expression was rather serious.

Si Di shot him a sidelong glance and asked flatly, "I'm really curious, Qin Wei. Why are you so concerned about Huo Xiao? Don't tell me you like Huo Xiao?"

A sharp glint flashed through his bright doe eyes.

Even he was shocked when he blurted out, "That little cutie you mentioned before... don't tell me it was Huo Xiao?"
