After Qin Wei finished speaking, his gaze shifted back to Si Di.
There was an intense sense of pressure in his eyes.
He stared at him for two seconds, then said in a low voice, "Si Di, come out with me. I have something to tell you."
Si Di did not move.
Qin Wei exhaled heavily, suppressing his emotions. He grabbed Si Di's wrist and was about to pull him away when another force suddenly tugged him back.
Huo Xiao was holding Si Di's other wrist and had not let go.
Caught in the middle, Si Di had both arms pulled by two different forces.
He tried to pull free.
But their hands were like shackles!
He could not break free at all!
Meanwhile, the two men pulling him were staring at each other.
Their hostile gazes made it seem as though they were fighting over their own private possession.
A stalemate.
A stalemate that lasted a full minute.
Si Di looked from one to the other, then frowned irritably and shouted:
"What are you two doing? Qin Wei, Huo Xiao, why don't you go outside and fight? I still need to practice. Can you stop dragging me into your grudges and drama?"
The moment he said that,
the few people huddled nearby watching the show swallowed hard.
Oh my god, oh my god.
They had no idea what had happened, but this was so exciting!
Producer Qin and star Huo were going to fight? Just thinking about it was thrilling!
While everyone else was enjoying the spectacle from the front row, Ji Yan quietly watched the three people tangled up with one another.
Light shimmered in his divine eyes.
They were cool and clear, yet filled with wisdom.
He gestured with his hand.
Ji Yan knowingly called the others to leave with him. Before going, he casually shut the practice room door.
The surroundings suddenly fell silent.
The two hostile men still refused to let go.
Si Di, meanwhile, had both arms yanked high into the air. It felt as though they might be torn straight from his shoulders at any moment.
He had endured enough. There was no need to endure any longer.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Then he violently shook off the two men pulling him.
He took a large step forward, turned around, and glared at them.
"Are you two treating me like a tug-of-war rope? If you pull me into an armless wonder, you'll both be murderers! Fine, fine, fine. Qin Wei, didn't you want to talk to me? Come on, I'll go with you!"
Si Di was nearly driven crazy by them.
With a frown, he snorted and turned to leave.
But Huo Xiao's voice rang out coldly behind him. "Wait! Si Di, you are not allowed to go. I have something to tell you too."
Si Di forced out an expression full of question marks.
He looked at Huo Xiao, utterly bewildered.
What the hell?
Why was every single person around him so difficult to deal with?
Qin Wei haunting him was one thing, but now Huo Xiao was going to pester him too?
Before he could refuse, Huo Xiao stepped forward and stood close before him, saying with a hint of threat:
"Si Di, between Qin Wei and me, you can only choose one."
The moment he said that,
Qin Wei looked at him as well.
The two men, who were locked in a fierce confrontation and refused to yield to each other, had surprisingly placed the decision in Si Di's hands with perfect tacit understanding.
Damn it.
Was this really a decision?
It was obviously a hot potato!
Si Di waved a hand. "How about you two stay, and I leave?"
With that, he lifted a foot and tried to slip away.
But he had barely taken one step before he was dragged back again.
Wonderful.
His wrists were firmly seized again, one from the left and one from the right.
His elbows hurt, and so did his armpits.
If they kept pulling, his arms were definitely going to be dislocated.
Both men stared at him.
Si Di: ...
Si Di's head buzzed.
He looked left, then right.
Before he was driven insane, Si Di said helplessly, "Fine. Qin Wei, didn't you have something to tell me? I'll go outside with you. Huo Xiao, wait for me a moment. Once Qin Wei is done, I'll come back and listen to you."
Only children had to choose.
Adults could be masters of time management.
Si Di: As expected of me!
He thought he had made a wise choice, but Huo Xiao's aura suddenly grew heavy.
Like a wolf in the dark night.
A chilling light flashed in his eyes as he said, "So between Qin Wei and me, Qin Wei is your first choice, isn't he?"
After saying that, he lowered his eyes and smiled mockingly at himself.
Then he abruptly released Si Di's wrist.
Huo Xiao's gaze moved from Si Di's face to Qin Wei. Then he turned and strode away.
His proud, solitary back made it seem as though the entire world had betrayed him.
Si Di was completely dumbfounded.
What was that? Did the order of talking even matter?
If Huo Xiao was dissatisfied, Si Di could have just switched the order. Why did he have to get angry?
Si Di did not understand.
When he turned around, he met Qin Wei's narrow, deep eyes.
The icy sharpness in them had faded somewhat.
He actually looked rather satisfied?
Si Di angrily shook off his hand and said with a scrunched-up face, "Troublemaker! There's no one else here now, just the two of us. What exactly did you want to tell me? Go ahead."
His tone was thoroughly impatient.
Qin Wei's expression, which had only just softened, immediately turned cold again.
He took a deep, restrained breath.
His brows drew tightly together. His voice was cold, but utterly serious as he said, "Si Di, I must make something clear to you."
