After dealing with a remark, Su Yuan took his own coffee and nodded at the smiling front desk attendant. He found a quiet seat by the window, put down the heavy box in his hands, and stared blankly outside the window.

As winter approaches, the haze outside the house becomes heavy, creating a misty appearance. By pressing close to the glass, one can feel the cold air outside. However, holding this freshly brewed cup of hot coffee in my hands, the warmth travels from my palms directly to my heart.

Su Yuan held the coffee and took a small sip. The sweetness was mixed with bitterness, just like his mood.

Liu Haoyan is a pretty good template - this is something Su Yuan discovered early on. However, getting to know this child's personality, it's not a good thing, not just in this modeling industry, but even in this company.

I wonder if moving here was the right decision... Maybe I've become too emotional?

"Suyuan?"

I don't know how long I had been sitting there, absent-mindedly holding a cup of coffee that was already bottomed out. Suddenly, a familiar voice called out from behind Su Yuan. He slowly lifted his head and upon seeing the person approaching, immediately broke into a smile. "Brother Cen, why did you come so early in the morning?"

"I have come to see how this new teammate you are following is performing," Li Cen's complexion appears noticeably haggard, as if he hasn't had a good night's sleep for several days. "That child looks pretty good."

So the assessment is already over so quickly? How did he perform?" Upon hearing this, Su Yuan became interested and patted the chair beside him. "Have a seat. Would you like something to drink? My treat."

"No, I can't. Coffee gives me stomachaches." Li Cen waved his hand and sat down on the chair next to him. His right leg crossed over his left leg, but he couldn't feel the comfort of a crossed leg position. "It's not over yet. I reckon it's just starting. I went backstage to take a look, and this new guy didn't even greet me. He just stood in a corner waiting. I wonder what he's thinking."

"Maybe we haven't figured out who the leader is yet?" Su Yuan raised an eyebrow playfully, his finger rotating the coffee cup. "He has potential, maybe he can become a rising star in the future. I think we can explore the direction of forgetting about Ping Mo and letting him try his hand at some fashion advertisement gigs."

Li Cen raised his eyes and couldn't hide the sharpness in his gaze, "I say, Su Yuan, are you being a little too concerned about this new person? You're not usually like this. Are you interested in her?"

"How is that possible?" Su Yuan responded simply, then lifted the cup and finished the last bit of coffee. After drinking it all, he took a deep breath with a satisfied heart, and said, "Let me continue to enjoy the current tranquility."

"Enjoy it while it lasts." Li Cen chuckled with a sideways glance, raising his large hand to gently run through Su Yuan's curly hair. "I'm leaving now, I have an event tonight and need to go rest for a while."

"En." Half-closing his eyes, Su Yuan enjoyed the residual warmth on his head for a moment. Without lifting his head, he turned his gaze back towards the window.

"Really..." Li Cen muttered with an indulgent smile, then stood up and walked towards the main entrance of the company.

About two hours later, Su Yuan received a message.

"Yanyan: Come back."

"Yan Yan?"

After thinking for a while about who the sender of this letter could be, Su Yuan finally realized that it was the little child who added him as a friend yesterday. Yan Yan - Liu Haoyan.

Su Yuan stood up calmly and walked towards the preparation room, taking small, measured steps. After dawdling for over ten minutes, he finally arrived at the entrance of the fifth rest room.

As I raised my hand, ready to knock on the door twice, I heard a sound of someone knocking on the table inside.

Thinking that something had happened, Su Yuan pushed open the door and walked in. "What's wrong?"

"Why don't you ever knock on the door?" Liu Haoyan frowned and looked over. He wore a light brown wig that matched his skin tone, but his beautiful makeup was overshadowed by his angry expression. "Where's Yang Ge?"

"You guys are together, aren't you?" Su Yuan murmured, taking two steps towards him and attempting to reach out to remove his wig. However, to her surprise, the kid extended his hand and snatched her arm away.

"I'll do it myself."

Su Yuan's upper and lower teeth gently grazed against each other. Without saying much, he simply took a step back.

"The hell with these women... They sure have a lot of issues," murmured Liu Hao, as he violently removed his wig. "Once they found out I was a boy, they all started mocking me together, calling me a 'ladyboy.' They even asked me why I wanted to participate in a girls' audition..."

"Just ignore those idle talk, it's better that way," Su Yuan interrupted his complaints, running his fingers through the strands of hair on his forehead. "In this circle..."

"You're talking so lightly!"

Unexpectedly, the other party also interrupted their words halfway, causing Su Yuan to raise her head and catch sight of Liu Haoyan's face, which had turned red with anger, in the mirror.
