At that moment, even the reporters and staff members on the side could sense the abnormal atmosphere between the three people.

    Yan Mingxiu's face with covered with ice, Lan Xirong's face was stiff, Zhou Xiang was at a complete loss.

    Although they didn't recognise Yan Mingxiu, and couldn't make out what was going on between them, their sharp eyes could see that Lan Xirong and this handsome new arrival did not get along.

    They might be able to scoop up some big gossip. Filled with excitement, everyone paid close attention to how the situation would unfold.

    Zhou Xiang went forward and grabbed Yan Mingxiu's arm. "Mingxiu, what are you doing here? I just bumped into Xirong. We’re planning to go outside for a smoke, let's talk outside." He spoke while signalling to Yan Mingxiu with his eyes, getting him to take note of the fact that there were lots of reporters on the side.

    Lan Xirong also quickly recovered. Even if there was some conflict between them, he would not gift people gossip material for free.

    Yan Mingxiu shook off Zhou Xiang’s hand, and said stiffly, "I'm not here for you." He then brushed past Zhou Xiang and walked over to Wang Yudong.

    Zhou Xiang looked embarrassed and Lan Xirong was also deeply angered by Yan Mingxiu's attitude. However, he did his best to suppress it and not let it show. He pushed Zhou Xiang. "Xiang'ge, let's go."

    Zhou Xiang watched Yan Mingxiu's back and sighed. This was not a good time to go coax him. Just as Zhou Xiang was hesitating, Lan Xirong pushed him out of the doors.

    Lan Xirong frowned. "Xiang'ge, your boyfriend's temper is so stinky, did I offend him or something? He always has a bad look on his face whenever he sees me." He however, had forgotten that his face had also been filled with hostility when he saw Yan Mingxiu the first time.

    Zhou Xiang smiled awkwardly, "It's a misunderstanding. He's actually really easy to get along with." Zhou Xiang’s voice grew less confident as he spoke. Even though these two had clearly barely spoken to each other before, they were ready to jump at each other’s throat as soon as they saw each other. Could it really be that he was too charming? Thinking about it, Zhou Xiang didn't know whether he should laugh or cry.

    Lan Xirong wasn't a smoker so he simply watched Zhou Xiang smoke and absentmindedly throw glances inside the studio continuously. It was obvious that Zhou Xiang was still thinking about Yan Mingxiu. Lan Xirong felt more and more miserable.

    "Xiang'ge, I know that you are a really tolerant person. There are people with tempers that you shouldn't get used to, the more you indulge in them, the worse their tempers will get. I don't want you to suffer grievances."

    Zhou Xiang laughed, "What are you saying? Two people are only together if they’re a good fit, if they aren't then they would have split up a long time ago. There's no such thing as grievances or no grievances. Xirong, things are going well between us, it's not how you imagine it to be, don't worry."

    "Don't worry?" Lan Xirong smiled bitterly, "I deeply wish that you two will break up faster."

    Zhou Xiang awkwardly turned his face away. When he was with Lan Xirong now, he no longer felt relaxed like he used to when he was with him. Not only was Lan Xirong's fame completely different now, Lan Xirong’s attitude towards him was also getting stranger and stranger. He didn't have the slightest idea how to respond to him.

    Lan Xirong turned his head and looked seriously at Zhou Xiang. "Xiang'ge, I have a feeling that you two won't last for long. Don't accuse me for jinxing you two, but a person like him who only has a good appearance and considers everyone beneath him is not good enough for you. I'll wait for you. By the time your relationship with him comes to an end, you will be able to see that I will still be waiting for you. It's true that I've never fallen for a man before, but I really like you. When I'm with you I feel comfortable and at ease."
