It took about three or four minutes, but it seemed like three or four hours for the two who were stuck inside the elevator. Finally, someone came running all the way to the elevator and shouted outside the door: "Who's in there?"

Xiao Bai moved close to the door and yelled back: "Me..."

The man outside was silent, but then asked, "Who are you?"

"Zeng...Bai..."

"Wait." The man, who was outside the elevator, left this word indifferently and was in the course of sneaking out.

Yan Su'ang suddenly popped out the words, "There's also me."

The sound of the footsteps outside the elevator abruptly stopped, then it turned into quick light steps. Finally, a creaking sound could be heard—it was the loud noise of a door opening and closing.

Even though the elevator door and the door were separated, Xiao Bai could still vaguely hear the man roar, "Oh my, hurry up, Great God was trapped!"

Yan Su'ang suddenly closed his hand into a knuckle and knocked on the wall of the elevator.

The crisp sound was particularly sharp and clear in the enclosed space.

Xiao Bai faintly said: "Don't destroy public property."

Yan Su'ang's fingers stiffened, "Rest assured, even if it'll get destroyed, my fingers would get ruined, too."

Xiao Bai thought about it and felt it was quite reasonable, "Oh."

...Oh? Oh what? Could it be that he meant that since it was Yan Su'ang's fingers that would get ruined, then it did not matter? Yan Su'ang felt the suffocation in his chest gradually worsening.

He, who was very influential in the entertainment circle, had not felt this kind of frustration for a long time. Even when the world-renowned director met him, they were polite with each other and never put on airs. On the contrary, this newbie in front of him, who had just started his acting career without any background and backing, kept on nailing him again and again. The most annoying thing was that he clearly knew that the other party was deliberately targeting him, not because he was Yan Su'ang.

While thinking of this, that pent-up frustration in his mouth had surged to his Baihui acupoint [1], and three blossoms gathered on his head [2]. "Xiao Bai."

([1]「百会穴」is one of the acupuncture points on top of the human's head. It literally translated as Hundred Convergences.)

([2]「三花聚顶」The term comes from 三花聚顶，五气朝元. It is a term from Neidan, which is a way of practice for the harmony between nature and man. In ancient time, "花" and "华" were connected [both read as "hua" which mean flower], so "三花" and "三华" means three flowers. "三华" in turn, represent the spirit and glory of human body. As for "聚顶," it means that the spirits mixed together and gathered at one point.)

"Yeah?"

"Do you think I'm an eyesore?"

"No."

Hmph, let's consider your quick reply. Yan Su'ang's anger dissipated a little.

"I can't see you now anyway."

"..." His dissipated anger immediately gathered back, then he asked grievously, "Do you mean to say that if you can see me now, you'll think that I'm not pleasing to the eyes?"
