Song Yu took a deep breath. At the end of the day, his personality was already no longer as direct as it had been when he was a child. He calmed down his inner anger and panic, practically forcing his words out through gritted teeth, "Let go."

Xie Sui laughed lightly and stepped back. He pressed a finger against the wall and turned on the light.

The oppression that had been suffocating Song Yu dispersed as he stepped away.

The ambiguous air that had seemed frozen solid began to flow again.

Xie Sui was standing straight inside the brightened living room. He appeared cool and elegant, and the ** and carelessness from before had been put away. "Sorry, that was my misunderstanding."

Song Yu laughed out of anger. He bared his teeth, "Are you so casual with everyone?"

Xie Sui's dark eyes steadily focused on him for a moment. He laughed a little, then suddenly changed the topic, "Would you like something to drink?"

Like hell did Song Yu want something to drink; he was stuffed full with anger. His expression was cold as he refused directly, "It's not necessary. It's not early anymore, I should head back."

Xie Sui suddenly spoke up, "Song Yu." He looked into his eyes and continued, "Stay, let's chat."

Song Yu's words got caught in his throat. He raised his head, his light-brown eyes filled with surprise.

Xie Sui stopped briefly, then added another sentence. He said indifferently, "Other than you, I can't find anyone else to talk to right now."

His tone was understated, but it held an almost unnoticeable sense of loneliness.

Song Yu was stunned.

Yeah, despite the levity in his performance, the man in front of him wasn't in an optimistic position. He was at a low point in life, and his relatives regarded him as a snake in their midst. He was alone in this city, surrounded by malice.

He then thought about what Xie Sui had done just now. He'd been so flippant—was he like that with everyone?

Song Yu stewed in his heart. His anger remained stuck there, and he felt that they really needed to have a good chat.

"Anything's fine." This could be considered his answer to the 'what would you like to drink' question from earlier.

He took off his suit jacket, draped it over his arm, and stepped further into the house.

There was a rainstorm in A City in the middle of the night. It rained heavily, and the boundless curtain of rain could be seen through the window, blurring the bustling city.

Song Yu frowned briefly after accepting a cup of steaming water and asked him, "Are you interested in working for the Song Family? I can contact my father and get you a position at headquarters. It can be overseas, and you can avoid the Xie Family."

But Xie Sui only smiled briefly, "Thank you, but there's no need to trouble yourself."

Anger inexplicably sparked in Song Yu's heart, "In that case, don't be as casual as you were today. Aunt Xu wouldn't want to see you fall to such a point." He recalled the gossip that he'd heard and couldn't bring himself to believe it, "You can't have thought that I came to find you because I wanted to keep you, right?"

Xie Sui tilted his head and smiled, "Well, do you want to?"

Song Yu was very certain, "No!"

Xie Sui drew out his reply, "Oh."
