"Don't be dramatic, it doesn't suit you," Xi Zirui says, crossing his arms in front of his chest.
"It seems the problem was that I didn't suit you," Su Xueyi says, his smirk widening.
"That too."
"A modern tragedy," Su Xueyi says, looking meaningfully into Xi Zirui's eyes.
"Maybe an ancient one, too." He keeps a close eye on Su Xueyi's reaction, hoping he might give himself away in a way Xi Zirui can exploit.
He just smiles wider. "Sure."
"What is your gameplan? Are you trying to humiliate me on live TV? Is that it?" Xi Zirui sincerely hopes it is, because that would be harmless, as he has no interest in a career in the entertainment industry.
But, considering how often Xi Zirui said as much and to anyone who asked, in the first week of the show -- he has his doubts.
"Are you trying to ruin my career as payback?" he asks, hopeful.
"No," Su Xueyi says with an amused chuckle. "Quite the opposite, I want to make you a star."
