Power in Amelia

After dinner, since it was the last day of the first episode, the program team decided to let everyone gather in the yard for some fun.

Some warm yellow lanterns were hung on the big tree in the yard, and the small dining table had been put away earlier. Several people sat under the tree, forming a circle.

Although it had only been a few days, everyone had tanned to some extent, even Alexander was no exception. However, he looked a bit better than the others.

His original skin was relatively fair, and now it had just darkened a little, which not only didn't make him look bad but added a touch of sexiness.

Only Amelia hadn't tanned at all because she was a mixed-race with skin more like that of a Caucasian. Surprisingly, except for the sunburn on her face at the beginning, which turned her face red, after recovering, her skin was as white as jade again.

Leah concealed the jealousy in her eyes and said with a gentle smile, "Amelia, how come you haven't tanned at all! I really envy you."

Miss Amelia, who was originally whispering to a certain actor, suddenly heard her name and froze for a moment, as if her brain was restarting.

Then she touched her chin seriously and said, "Maybe it's because I have Caucasian blood."

Leah: "..."

Was this a perfunctory answer?

Lydia rolled her eyes and exposed the little one: "Don't Caucasians get tanned?"

Ryan chimed in: "It seems that Caucasians are more prone to sunburn, and the darker the person, the easier it is to get tanned."

Lydia pulled the corner of her mouth coldly and said, "Are you talking about yourself?"

Ryan: "..." Feeling as if an arrow had hit his heart.

Was the young lady launching an indiscriminate attack because she was tanned and felt unbalanced?

Ryan's skin tone was indeed a little darker than the others, but it wasn't considered black; he just looked more sunny.

Ian touched his beautiful and delicate face, took a deep breath exaggeratedly, and opened his arms, saying, "Ah, I'm finally leaving this place, and I'm still a little reluctant, um!"

There was no trace of reluctance in the last half of the sentence; instead, it sounded rather cheeky.

Amelia was sitting next to him, patted his head, and looked at him with a "loving" expression, saying, "Kid! You should know that you will come back."

Ian's face collapsed, turned his head, and looked at her resentfully, ruffling Amelia's curly hair, and said through gritted teeth, "Little Amelia, you've learned bad from Lydia!"

He suddenly felt four dangerous gazes, coming from two people. His hand paused, and when he looked up, he met the gloomy eyes of a certain actor.

He unconsciously withdrew his hand, and only after that did he realize that he seemed too cowardly. Immediately, he turned his head with a stinky face and snorted.

As a result, when he turned his head, he saw Lydia looking at him with a hostile expression. He immediately pretended to be calm and said, "Hey! What are you doing, Lydia? You scared me to death."

Lydia gave him a sidelong glance and said in a bad mood, "Why didn't it scare you to death?"

"Ian!" The beautiful young man glared with his peach blossom eyes and was about to retort.

Fortunately, at this time, the director spoke in time: "Hey, hey, hey, tonight is the last day of the first episode of our program! Everyone here is talented and good-looking. Each of you should come and perform a talent that you are good at."

Here, only Ian was a professional singer, while Leah and Ryan were both internet celebrities, and internet celebrities usually knew a little bit of everything. Lydia and Alexander focused on acting, and Amelia was a newcomer, and her attributes were still unknown.

However, since they had entered the entertainment industry, it was impossible for them to know nothing, so the director's request wouldn't be too difficult for them.

Ryan and Leah collaborated on a song, which was Ryan's single, and Leah danced along. Leah should have learned dance professionally. Her slender and soft figure, combined with Ryan's singing, made for a great performance.

Ian needless to say, he had released so many albums, so naturally, he would sing his own songs.

Lydia's performance was surprisingly good. She sang a piece of Opera - "The Peony Pavilion: A Dream in the Garden"

"All the flowers in full bloom so red and bright, but in vain are they shed beside the broken well and the ruined wall. In vain is the beauty of the vernal day and the pleasure of the heart. In vain is the joy in the courtyard of a noble family..."

Lydia's voice was originally clear and crisp, but at this moment, it was soft and plaintive, bringing out the emotion of the female protagonist in the opera, who "chases after the dream and becomes melancholic and ill," as if the story was unfolding right in front of them.

At the end of the song, the little cheerleader Amelia immediately applauded and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Wow, Sister Lydia is so amazing, and she sings so well." Although she didn't understand the meaning of the lyrics.

Even Ian, a man with the attribute of a peacock, looked at Lydia in disbelief and exclaimed, "I didn't expect you to be able to sing this."

He was a musician and also learned a little bit of opera, so he could tell that Lydia sang very professionally.

Lydia's eyes shone with a little hard-to-conceal pride: "My grandfather is an opera actor."

Ian suddenly realized: "So that's why."

Alexander had been sitting silently beside Amelia. Suddenly, he looked at Lydia and said in a low voice, "Not bad."

At this moment, everyone was surprised and looked at him in astonishment.

After all, since he came to this program, he had not spoken to any female except Amelia. Lydia was from the same company as him, and they only greeted each other.

Lydia herself was also stunned for a moment before saying with gratitude, "Thank you, Brother Alexander."

Alexander lowered his eyes. He was sitting with his back to the light, and his face was hidden in the shadow, making his expression indiscernible.

The female protagonist in "The Peony Pavilion: A Dream in the Garden" met a scholar in the garden in her dream and enjoyed a love that was both real and illusory.

He felt that the woman who could be called his mother had been living in a dream since she married that man. But when she woke up, she became fierce and twisted, venting all her anger and resentment on him.

They were both pitiful, just in different stories.

When that woman died in front of him, he felt no sadness at all, just a sigh of relief that he could finally escape from her. But why after her death, almost every night in his dreams, he could still see her, in the same dark room, torturing him over and over again.

She really wouldn't let him go even after she died.

This silence made others feel a little inexplicable. They felt that the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive, but they dared not speak.

Amelia, who was sitting closest to Alexander, quietly held his hand placed on the side and leaned over to whisper, "Brother Alexander, did this tune remind you of something unhappy?"

The little girl's voice was soft and sweet, but it seemed to contain infinite energy, making the dark scenes in his heart seem far away.

Alexander turned his head, gently pinched the soft and tender fingers of the little girl with his hand, and stared at her with a pair of dark eyes.

Suddenly, he hooked his lips into a smile, and his voice was hoarse and low: "I'm fine."

"Oh..." Amelia hesitated and nodded, then turned her head.

Alexander looked at the side profile of the little girl, and a meaningful light flashed in his eyes. He silently moved his lips.

The lip shape was - "I won't let you go either."

There was a moment of silence. Ian opened a bottle of water, held it in his hand, and slowly turned to look at Amelia, trying to ease the atmosphere and said with a smile, "Little Amelia, it's your turn."

"Ah?" Amelia was stunned for a moment.

Ian nudged her with his shoulder and said teasingly, "Little Amelia, hurry up! You can't back out. It's your turn to perform. What are you good at?"

Amelia blinked her big eyes and seriously compared in her heart what she was best at.

After a moment, she silently raised her hand: "I'm best at wrestling."

"Pfft!"

Ian spat out a mouthful of water and looked at her in shock. He looked her up and down and said with a dry smile, "Little Amelia, are you kidding me?"

Although this girl was a little taller than the average girl, she was so delicate and beautiful. No one would believe that she was best at fighting.

Well, for him, all physical activities were considered fighting.

The other three were also surprised and looked at her in disbelief.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her like this, Amelia immediately became unconvinced. She raised her small chin and said fiercely, "It's true. Believe it or not, none of you can beat me?"

Of course, except for Alexander.

"I don't believe it!" Ian was the first to disagree.

Amelia pouted and glared at him fiercely, then looked at Lydia.

Although Lydia loved the little one, she couldn't lie, so she could only shake her head honestly.

Amelia frowned with a bitter expression, and finally pouted and looked at Alexander.

Alexander looked at her, his gaze gentle: "I believe you."

Amelia's eyes lit up, and she was no longer aggrieved. Then she smiled and got up, raised her chin and looked at everyone, saying, "Whoever has learned this, can cooperate with me."

Ryan silently raised his hand: "I can."

Amelia smiled with curved eyes and said, "Then it's you."

When Ryan got up, he inexplicably felt two gazes like knives stabbing at him. He subconsciously looked at Alexander and found that the man looked indifferent and didn't even look at him.

But he still said carefully, "I will be careful." And he would find a way to let her win.

He wouldn't dare to hurt his idol's sweetheart even if he had a hundred guts.

Amelia raised her index finger and shook it like a model: "You don't need to be careful!"

Ryan nodded: "Okay."

But in his heart, he thought that he would definitely be careful.

Amelia leaned forward slightly and assumed a posture.

Ryan was stunned. He didn't expect the girl's posture to be quite professional.

When he was still thinking about how to avoid hurting Amelia without her noticing, the little girl had already rushed forward, hugged his waist, lifted him slightly off the ground, and threw him to the ground.

The photographer who was following Amelia almost knelt down to her.

"Damn (bip)!" Ian couldn't help but shout. He stared blankly at Ryan on the ground and said, "What's wrong with you? You don't have to let Little Amelia win so exaggeratedly."

He couldn't believe it. How could little Amelia be so rough?

And Ryan lay motionless on the ground, completely stunned. It was only when he heard Ian's words that he came to his senses and said with a wry smile, "I really didn't let her. Amelia is truly powerful."

He had never expected that such a little girl would possess such strong strength and explosive power!

"Really?" Ian's expression still displayed some disbelief.

Ryan nodded with a pained face, "Really!"

Then he glanced at Alexander. If they really got together in the future, would his idol suffer from domestic violence?

He was truly a concerned fan.

Seeing that Ian didn't believe her, Amelia raised her chin at him proudly and said, "Do you want to try it too?"

Ian thought about the posture in which Ryan had been thrown just now, swallowed hard, and immediately shook his head like a rattle.

It was really too miserable! His idol burden was as heavy as a ton. If he were thrown like that, his superficial fans would definitely say "goodbye" to him.

He would be stupid to subject himself to such abuse.

Lydia was also shocked, her mouth gaping wide enough to fit an egg. Her little one, was it a Husky? She used to worry that this heartless girl would be bullied.

But now it was fine. Knowing that her own cub had such strong fighting power, she finally didn't have to worry about her being bullied. If anyone bullied her, she would throw them to the Milky Way.

After successfully surprising everyone, Amelia immediately ran to Alexander's side, sat down, and had a "seeking praise" expression on her face, smiling and saying, "Brother Alexander, am I powerful?"

If the cub had a tail behind her, it would probably wag constantly.

Alexander patted her head and said with a smile, "Powerful."

The praised Miss Amelia smiled like a thief who had stolen candy.

Ryan only felt that his whole body ached from the fall. He looked at Amelia with a painful expression and asked curiously, "Amelia, where did you learn this?"

Amelia's eyes rolled, and she immediately said proudly, "This is the true teaching of my grandmother."

"Your grandmother?" Ryan was surprised. This family was really amazing!

He looked at Alexander again and became even more worried.

Amelia nodded and said with great pride, "My grandmother's name is Irina, symbolizing the sun and strength. So my grandmother is a very, very powerful Russian lady."

Ian murmured, "The fighting nation is really renowned for its reputation."

...

The next morning, after having breakfast, they would each go back.

Ian had to go back to hold a concert, Lydia had to film, and Leah also had various activities to attend.

When they went out, Alexander's assistant, Leo, had already been waiting in the nanny van on the road outside the yard.

Alexander looked at Amelia, "Amelia, come with me."

"Oh." Amelia had no objection. After all, they had the same agent, and it was normal to go back together.

She turned around and waved to the others, smiling brightly in the morning sunlight, and said, "Then we'll go first! Bye!"

Lydia stepped forward, hugged her, and patted her head, "See you at the company."

Amelia nodded, "Yes."

Ian also came over, opened his arms, ignoring the gloomy expression of a certain man, and said with a smile, "I also want a hug."

Amelia didn't mind at all. She was just about to give him a hug when Alexander pulled her back a few steps.

He looked at Lydia and Ryan, "It's getting late. We should go back."

Then he pulled the little girl and got into the car directly.

Ian withdrew his hand and ground his teeth in frustration.

Lydia shrugged and gave him a gloating look.

Leah watched as Alexander's car started and drove away, and the man didn't even glance at her from the beginning to the end. Her jealousy grew stronger and stronger.

She didn't understand what she lacked compared to Amelia.

She looked at Lydia, who was also waiting here, and deliberately smiled and asked, "Lydia, aren't you also from the same company as Teacher Alexander? Why don't you go back with them?"

Lydia looked at her expressionlessly and said in a flat tone, "Amelia and Brother Alexander have the same agent. Universal is so big. Does Brother Alexander have to be familiar with every artist?"

Leah pulled the corner of her mouth and said nothing.

Amelia and Alexander got into the car and noticed that besides the driver, who was Alexander's assistant, there was also a girl sitting in the passenger seat.

Alexander's assistant, Leo, had been constantly checking the rearview mirror to observe the situation in the back. He had heard the gossip from Simon that their Brother Alexander came to this program for the little girl. So from now on, he would treat Amelia with the same attitude as he treated Alexander, as if he was currying favor with the future boss's wife in advance.

He was really a smart little guy!

At this moment, he noticed Amelia's curious gaze towards the passenger seat and immediately said, "Teacher Wen, this is Moon. She is the assistant that Brother Simon found for you."

Moon also turned around and smiled, "Hello, Teacher Wen."

Moon was a lovely girl, pretty but not eye-catching. She had just graduated from college and was two years older than Amelia.

Amelia immediately beamed and said, "Hello, just call me Amelia!"

Moon was pleasantly surprised and nodded, "Okay."

She had always heard that some celebrities had bad tempers, played big shots, and were not nice to their assistants, so she was very nervous. But she didn't expect Amelia to be a little girl younger than her, with a good temper, looking very innocent and without any scheming. She felt a little lucky.

Amelia was happy to meet a new young lady and leaned forward, wanting to talk more.

But Alexander didn't want her to talk too much to others and held the lively little girl back, "Don't make trouble."

Amelia looked at him, blinked her eyes, and was a little puzzled.

Alexander raised his hand and patted the back of her head, smiling half-smilingly, "Take a rest for a while?"

Moon saw that the actor was talking to her new boss and silently turned around, but the gossip soul inside her was about to burst out.

She had been too scared to speak because the actor was also in the car. She had heard that he was very cold, so she was afraid of accidentally offending him.

But now looking at it, she felt that the actor had an unspeakable feeling for her new boss?!

It turned out to be so great to be a celebrity assistant. The feeling of having first-hand gossip was so cool!!!

Regarding Alexander's words, Amelia originally wanted to shake her head, but looking at his eyes, she became timid and obediently nodded.

Alexander immediately smiled, "That's good."

He reached out to cover Amelia's eyes, "Go to sleep."

Moon, "..."

Ahhh, she really wanted to scream like a groundhog in her heart.

Amelia was actually not at all sleepy, but with her eyes covered by him, she gradually fell asleep.

When he heard the girl's breathing beside him become steady, Alexander took his hand away.

Alexander raised the partition between the front and the back seats before leaning the little girl's head on his shoulder. He slightly turned his body and reached out to trace Amelia's eyebrows and eyes.

His slender fingers moved from the girl's fair and full forehead to her tall and straight nose, curled eyelashes, and finally to her cherry lips that he had always coveted, plump and moist, making him unable to resist the urge to take a bite.

Alexander rubbed Amelia's lips gently and repeatedly with his thumb, a little obsessively, and then raised his thumb to touch his own lips.

His eyes darkened, and he pinched the little girl's chin and leaned in, getting closer and closer. When he was close enough to see the fine hairs on the little girl's face, he frowned and finally restrained his crazy desire inside.

He turned back, his palm slid down, held the little girl's soft hand, lifted it to his lips and kissed it lightly, before closing his eyes to rest.
