"Benjamin, he confessed to me!"
As Xanthea finished speaking, she could clearly feel the sharp teeth pressing against her collarbone, as if they were ready to pierce her skin and suck her blood at any moment.
"Really?" The man's voice was deep and eerie, filled with hidden anger, "My darling is so popular. Are you happy about it?"
"Not happy, not happy, I'm not happy at all!"
"How could that be? Xannie, didn't you like him? You remember everything about him and praise him endlessly."
"Who? Who likes him?" Xanthea was utterly confused, not knowing what he was talking about "And when did I remember everything about him and praise him endlessly?"
"Forgotten?"
Orion snorted coldly and helped her recall.
"Handsome and talented, with fifty million Twitter followers, a legend in the film industry who has won Best Actor and achieved the miracle of surpassing five billion in box office revenueâMovie King, Benjamin. Not only is he gentlemanly and considerate, but he is also particularly handsome and responsible."
"All these were the very words you told me."
He recited every word without missing a beat, and Xanthea had a faint recollection.
Wasn't this something she had casually said after getting into his car while being chased by fans? He remembered all of it, word for word, until now.
Was this guy really the reincarnation of jealousy?
"Those were just polite remarks. Besides, even if he's great, he's not better than you, not as handsome as you. I like you, not him."
Xanthea tried to sweet-talk him, but upon hearing her words, he suddenly looked up, shooting a piercingly sharp look, "If I wasn't as good as him, not as handsome, you wouldn't like me?"
Xanthea: But you are.
"Or if I weren't here, you'd choose him?"
Xanthea: What a ridiculous assumption. He sounded like a jealous, irrational woman!
"I see."
She didn't respond for a long time, and Orion's eyes darkened further. He bit her hard.
"Ah."
The sharp pain on her fair, tender skin felt as if she was being eaten alive, scaring her to the point of almost crying.
"No, no! Even if you were uglier than him, dumber than him, I'd still only like you, only you!"
"If you weren't here, I would live alone forever! Forever alone, okay? Boo hoo hoo."
She yelled desperately, but then a clear, magnetic, joyful laugh filled the air, laced with amusement. It was a pleasant sound.
Xanthea slowly stopped crying and looked at him curiously, "?"
Orion lifted his head from her soft, fragrant embrace, gently caressing her bright and beautiful little face as if admiring a rare treasure. His gaze was deep, and his tone impossibly soft, "I heard everything from outside."
"Huh?"
Xanthea paused, then it clicked.
Outside? Hear what? In the resting room? Benjamin's confession, the spilt water, and asking to use her fitting roomâhe heard it all?
Then why did he...
A flush of anger spread across Xanthea's eyes, making her already luminous amber eyes even more vivid and enticing.
Just as she was about to explode, Orion couldn't resist and kissed her.
"Mmm. Orion, you liar, you scoundrel!
"How dare you kiss me, let me go, let me go!"
"Baby, my sweet baby."

"I heard all your answers. Are they true?"
Outside the resting room, he had heard Benjamin's question and her answer, and the answers had filled him with extreme joy.
