"There's a drain there. Help yourself!" Leia snapped at Xavier grumpily.

Xavier's face fell. Even the stray dogs in the village got better treatment than him. Upset, he jumped out of the

pickup and followed Leia.

They both entered the store, and Leia meticulously picked water for Santiago. "Give me two bottles of pure water. I

want the best and most expensive kind."

She knew that Santiago needed that much since he watched his diet and drank only plain water from a high-end

brand. However, this store had a limited selection, so they only sold ordinary mineral water.

Leia became anxious. She took out a ten-dollar bill and urged the cashier, "Help me get some high-end pure water

next time you restock. My idol loves to drink that."

Xavier leaned against the cabinet and crossed his arms, raising an eyebrow at her mockingly. "It's just water,

doesn't it all taste the same?"

"You don't know anything!" Leia rolled her eyes at him." There are different kinds of water. Some are pure like

mountain springs and sweet, and some are full of impurities and unhealthy to drink!"

Though she was talking about water, it sounded like she was criticizing someone.

Xavier raised his brows and said meaningfully, "So you're aware of that? Looks can be deceiving, and your 'low-key'

idol probably has ulterior motives. He purposely wants to fool rich young ladies like you to gain a more powerful

position, and you're stupidly falling for his tricks and wagging your tail at him like a puppy. You're giving him

everything he wants!"

'Xavier, Santiago is my idol, so you can't just slander him like that! I know you're a playboy, but please don't casually

comment on others based on your own understanding. You don't know him, so you have no right to humiliate him!"

Leia was furious. She was a fangirl; she didn't mind if someone insulted her, but nobody could insult her idol!

Santiago was being so nice to her but Xavier was slandering him so easily. It was no different from the bad netizens

who made vulgar rumors about beautiful women.

"Did I humiliate him?" Xavier found Leia's infatuation unbelievable. She was generally a sensible person, so why was

she behaving so foolishly now?

"If he's in the entertainment circle, there's no way he got to where he is without dirtying his hands. This circle is a

mess, and honorable people will eventually become corrupted. If he didn't want to gain more power, he would have

left a long time ago. Why did he come to this variety show? I just don't want you to be tricked. After all, it's not the

first time someone fooled you. You'd better keep that in mind!"

"Hmph, yeah! The only honorable person in the entertainment circle is your first love. Your first love

behaves like a devious snake, but you still think she's naive and innocent. Do you still see her as a victim? You and I

share the same feelings—I just believe that the idol I like will not disappoint me."

"So, you're holding a grudge against me?" Xavier immediately looked pleased, and he smiled. "So, you're using your

idol to infuriate me by comparing him to Shirley?"

"Ugh, you're overthinking. Don't compare Shirley to Mr.

Dalton, it's a great insult. If you're so free, go online and look up who Santiago is and what kind of past he has..."

Leia continued disdainfully, "His family isn't bad. He joined the entertainment circle because he loves performing.

He isn't anything like your first love who does all kinds of things to gain more power. They're not the same. Oh, I'm

tired of talking to you!"

After that, she threw a bottle of water at him and went straight to Santiago.
