The other party might have realized that there was nothing more to say, so slowly fell into silence. Just when Su Yuan was starting to think that he had fallen asleep and was about to look up and tidy up to leave, Liu Haoyan suddenly spoke.

"Um... That day, I said you were in the way. I'm sorry."

Huh?

Su Yuan unconsciously raised one eyebrow and looked at Liu Hao, who suddenly uttered astonishing words. "Oh, I thought you had forgotten about our conversation."

"Not... Liuhao's voice trailed off, his face filled with frustration. 'You don't understand. I really liked him. But he inexplicably broke up with me...'"

Recalling the time spent with Liu Hao in the past few days, Su Yuan thought to herself: "Breaking up with you was truly not 'without reason' at all."

"I wanted to get back together with him, so I asked him out and chose a secluded place in a small community to have a chat. I didn't expect to run into you there."

"Hmm, I live in that residential area."

"Oh... Anyway, I don't have much hope for a reconciliation. After giving it some thought, I can't solely blame you... I reckon he didn't want to make amends with me in the first place, he just took the opportunity to escape when he encountered you."

Su Yuan snorted silently. This kid, does it really take this long to figure out such a simple thing?

However, after thinking about it, especially when hearing Liu Hao's increasingly aggrieved tone, Su Yuan decided to enlighten him a little, "It's better to break up, it won't affect your future. The two of you, as boys, it will be too difficult to walk the same path in the future, regardless of whether you are happy or unfortunate in love."

The other party unexpectedly kept quiet. Su Yuan thought that his words of advice had worked and was about to raise his head to give him a warm smile. However, when his gaze fixed on him, he noticed that Liu Haoyan was staring at him with a indescribable emotion...filled with grievances but also a hint of resentment.

"You look down on people who are homosexual, don't you?"

Ah? Su Yuan was instantly stunned by his train of thought. Did he actually utter words that looked down upon homosexuals?!

"You will never understand!" Liu Hao's voice was filled with resentment, his eyes turning red. He tightly grasped the chair's armrest. "I really like him! People like you, who look down on homosexuality, always use 'no future' as a reason to deny us! But I like him! Why does it have to be about heterosexual relationships? Why should I force myself to do something I don't want to do?"

His voice is actually very pleasant to listen to, but in such a small space, after shouting such a long speech in a hoarse manner, it made Su Yuan's head start to numb from the vibrations.

After a long pause, Su Yuan finally squeezed out a sentence, "I...I'm just stating the facts. If you want to take the path to stardom, such matters will indeed affect you."

"I don't care at all! I don't give a damn about what outsiders say!" Liu Hao exclaimed, waving his hand fiercely, accidentally knocking over the makeup remover on the table. The liquid gushed down the table edge, making a splashing sound.

Su Yuan took a quick look and rushed forward in two strides. He adjusted the overturned bottle and quickly grabbed a few tissues to absorb as much of the spilled makeup remover on the floor as possible.

The people around him noticed no movement until Su Yuan had been bustling around for quite some time, when he suddenly stood up.

Uncle, please don't interfere with me anymore. I don't need you to care about me like this, I find it strange. Whether you think highly of me or look down on me doesn't matter to me. After all, the company has so many new employees, one less won't make a difference.

After hearing all this, Su Yuan's heart, which hadn't been aroused in many years, finally ignited fiercely.

Why does this child always misunderstand their own words as "hateful speech"?

I wholeheartedly wanted to help him and fulfill his dreams. But instead, this is the treatment I received?

Could it be that people can really change? Becoming completely unrecognizable from their former selves.

Thinking about this, Su Yuan felt a tightness in his chest. At least he had always loved his profession. There aren't many men who become makeup artists, let alone reach such heights. Since entering this profession, Su Yuan had never thought about giving up or making a change.

What has this child before me experienced...

"Never mind... I'm leaving! Being with you only makes me feel annoyed!"

The chair next to me was suddenly "clang" and pushed open. As the chair turned, the arm of the chair directly bumped into Su Yuan's shoulder.

With a sharp pain, Su Yuan fell directly to the ground. It wasn't just the pain in his arm; his delicate waist also collided with the table leg, causing a numbing sensation to travel from the spine to the back of his head.

Liu Hao said nonchalantly, without even turning his head, and ran out the door while rubbing his cheek. It's unclear whether he wanted to hide the tears that had already welled up in the corners of his eyes, or if he knew he had bumped into Su Yuan but was too afraid to turn around and face him.

Su Yuan gasped for cold air on the ground several times before slowly getting up, supporting himself with the floor. The place where he had hit still hurt, but after a while, the pain spread throughout his body.

After stabilizing herself, Su Yuan furrowed her brows tightly and rested in the same spot for a long time before finally picking up her luggage and quickly leaving this chilling place.
