The man had sharp features and a commanding presence, radiating an air of defiance.
He had walked in so boldly, so imposingly.
This was a film set!
Song Xi glanced around. Everyone was eating, no one paying him any mind.
"..." As expected, they were all just here to eat.
Ye Hai walked up to Song Xi, scrutinizing her. Compared to the alluring sexiness of the night before, her ancient costume today was slightly less striking.
While still beautiful, to Ye Hai, who had never watched historical dramas, it was rather peculiar.
"Miss Song."
Song Xi was genuinely curious how he knew her surname, especially since she didn't even know his name.
Song Xi politely nodded. "Sir, you are..."
"Visiting," he stated curtly.
Song Xi let out an "Oh" and, feeling they weren't particularly close, sat back down to continue watching her videos.
Seeing that Song Xi didn't intend to engage, Ye Hai looked somewhat disbelieving.
Song Xi noticed he was still there and looked up. "Do you need something else?"
Her question felt like a lump in Ye Hai's throat.
His eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw the content of her video. The two men in it suddenly looked familiar.
"Sir?"
Ye Hai calmly shifted his gaze, lingering on her face for a few seconds before pursing his lips and finally leaving.
Not far away, Jin Ying witnessed this scene and asked, "Who is that man?"
Her assistant was busy snapping photos. "I don't know, but he looks quite wealthy."
Jin Ying scoffed. "Flirting around, promiscuous, she'll stumble one day!"
Ye Tian finished his chat with the director and was about to share the news with Song Xi when the back of his neck was suddenly grabbed. Before he could react, the dressing room door was kicked shut with a bang.
Ye Tian flinched, then, sensing the masculine pheromones, slowly opened his eyes.
"Second Brother!" He sounded a little happy, whispering, "What are you doing here?"
Ye Hai tugged at Ye Tian's mismatched costume. "What is this hodgepodge you're wearing!"
Ye Tian explained, "It's ancient costume!"
Ye Hai's expression turned grim.
Ye Hai reached out and felt his forehead. His face instantly turned cold. "Are you having a heart attack?"
Ye Tian nervously replied, "N-no!"
"Liar!" Ye Hai's demeanor was overbearing. "Tell me the truth, or don't blame me for dragging you back right now!"
Ye Tian quickly pleaded, "Alright, alright... I had a little bit of an episode."
Ye Hai's face darkened like a wrathful Yama. "Is it because someone stole your song!"
"How did you know?"
"Never mind how I know, just tell me if it is!"
He was ferocious, as if ready to kill.
Ye Tian quickly said, "No, no! I've already resolved that. Second Brother, please don't tell Eldest Brother, or he'll definitely scold me!"
Ye Hai's face remained stern, and he said nothing.
Ye Tian began to act coquettishly, tugging at his clothes. "Second Brother, you're the best!"
"Enough. A man shouldn't still be like this from when we were kids!"
Ye Tian smiled. "Second Brother, don't worry. I'm doing very well on my own now! Sister Song Xi takes great care of me. She's taught me a lot. This time, she helped me with this matter. She's different from you guys. She lets me make my own decisions. She says people need to learn to think independently, not just follow the crowd. I think that's very true. What do you think, Second Brother?"
Ye Hai's eyes flickered with surprise. "Did she say those things?"
"Yes!" Ye Tian's smile was genuine.
Ye Hai fell silent.
Eldest Brother had always doted on Xiao Tian since he was young, afraid he'd fall or get hurt. But he was a man, and in the future, he'd need to contribute to the Ye family. He couldn't remain a child forever!
Ye Hai knew his own methods were too harsh and unsuitable for Xiao Tian. Therefore, if someone could teach him these things at this time, it would be for the best.
But she had to be involved with Lou Yu Ming...
Ye Hai thought for a long time, his expression growing increasingly serious, more severe and demanding than when he discussed strategies with his comrades on the battlefield.
He looked at Ye Tian and suddenly asked, "I'll ask you this, does that Song Xi have a boyfriend?"
