I tried this way and it did not work. Here are the codes:

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "D:/chromedriver.exe");
    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
    driver.get("https://www.google.com.vn");
    driver.manage().window().maximize();

    WebElement text = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[contains(text(),'Google.com.vn')]"));
    Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
    actions.moveToElement(text, 10, 5).clickAndHold().moveByOffset(30, 0).release().perform();

I switched to JavascriptExecutor and it worked:

    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "D:/chromedriver.exe");
    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
    driver.get("https://www.google.com.vn");
    driver.manage().window().maximize();

    WebElement text = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[contains(text(),'Google.com.vn')]"));
    JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;

    js.executeScript("arguments[0].setAttribute('style', 'background: blue;');", text);
