Chapter Thirteen: The Fear Buried in the Heart

  Lee Soon-kyu only knows some hiphop, and especially likes fast dance hiphop. When she dances fast hiphop, it's like a crazy otter! Under the age of 14, Lee Soon-kyu is short and a bit chubby, with a very round body, plus her delicate and pretty face, when dancing, looks just like an otter with short limbs and eyes narrowed to slits.

  "Yes, I dance like an otter, you sing like a duck! We both live by the water, we're a perfect match!" Lee Soon-gyu was good at singing, her voice was naturally sweet and charming. After training with a vocal coach from her father's company, she became even more skilled. However, dancing was not her strong suit. Muzi Chuu was good at dance, he could do popping and waving, and had even practiced with DSP trainee Kim Heng-joon, who he could now teach. But when it came to singing, Muzi Chuu's voice was rough and unclear, so Lee Soon-gyu said he sang like a duck, which wasn't wrong at all.

  "I can't sing either!"

  "Dancing! Hehe, dancing is so much fun!" Li ShunGui has already treated this place as an open-air dance hall...

  "Don't jump!" After glancing around at the crowd staring at him, Muzi Qiu couldn't help but feel a strange and inexplicable feeling. This feeling made him extremely uncomfortable, like being scalded by boiling water, leaving his whole body weak and trembling with fear! The warm sunshine and spring breeze now felt like a biting cold wind, making his body shiver all over! Turning around, he took big strides, stepping on the brick pavement, and quickly escaped from the crowd.

  "Where are you going? Hey! Muzi Qiu!" Why didn't you jump? I clearly saw that you jumped very well. "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a beauty before?" Li ShunGui looked around, searching for the figure that had disappeared into the crowd, only to realize that the people around her were staring at her. She wasn't a girl who would get shy, and her anger at Muzi Qiu's sudden departure made her forget her ladylike image, shouting loudly and startling the crowd in front of her, which immediately parted to let her through. But on the crowded streets, she couldn't find the figure she was looking for...

  "That guy's name is Mokuzi Aki! Is there a Moku surname in our country?" Kim Hyeon-jeong rubbed his hair, thinking for a moment.

  "Hey, isn't that girl cute? Got a crush on her?" Choi Sung-hyun thought Kim Hyun-joong was still looking at Lee Soon-gyu and teased him.

  "No! It's that boy, I'm really interested in him now! By the way, are you comparing or what?!"

  "Anyway, just nice to meet you all, my name is Li Changxuan, just call me Changxuan, and this is Quan Zhilong, my buddy!" Li Changxuan immediately stepped forward, it's actually not bad to know friends who like music and dance.

  "Ji Yong, I'm Choi Seung Hyun! One day, I'll surpass you!" Choi Seung Hyun laughed loudly and gave Ji Yong a high-five!

  "Looking forward to your transcendence! Of course, I won't slack off either! Haha!"

  "My name is Kim Hyun-chung, I'm Choi Sung-hyun's older brother. If you're used to it, you can just call me Hyun-chung!"

  "How can that be, I'm going to call you brother! By the way, Hyun-joong brother, earlier, were you going to dance? Let's dance for a bit first, Chang-sun's dance is not bad either. As a trainee for so long, my body has gotten used to coordinating movements, except for being a bit better at the basics, I don't have much accomplishment in dancing." Kwon Ji-yong said, waving his hands towards Kim Hyun-joong.

  "I don't know any dances, just some ordinary dance steps, and I was pulled over by Sheng Xian to make up the numbers!"

  "Hehe, Xianzhong brother is being modest..."

  ……

  Iris, especially blue iris, is always solitary and proud. If not planted by humans, they would never be seen in clusters in the lush green fields; Blue iris, like a self-indulgent gentleman, lives only in its own world, amidst the vibrant colors of other flowers, it proudly displays its own deep blue hue, even if someone approaches, it will use its toxic rhizome to pierce the invader who enters its territory. Even this brief flight is as fleeting as a rainbow after the rain...

  The blue iris has a unique charm that no other flower has, but behind its solitary beauty, there is often a timid and cowardly heart that dare not excel, perhaps because it is poisonous, it does not dare to compete with the hundred flowers, or perhaps because it is poisonous, it will not be buried in the midst of the hundred flowers.

  Unconsciously, Muzi Qiu returned home and sat on the couch, gazing out at the sky. The sunset had completely fallen, with a red glow lingering in the west. A bright star shone like a diamond, dazzling but only visible in the empty sky. Inside, the silence was palpable, but Muzi Qiu's heart, like boiling water, couldn't calm down. Her body involuntarily curled up into a ball, shrinking into the corner of the couch - a fleeting shadow, surrounded by piercing gazes from all directions, and an inaudible voice etched in her mind, though profound, she couldn't recall what had happened...

  "Click..." The sound of the door opening was like a stone suddenly dropped into a calm lake that had been still for ages, causing ripples to slowly spread out, startling Mu Zi Qiu who was curled up on the sofa.

  "Zi Qiu, what's wrong with you? It's already dark outside and you still haven't turned on the lights?" Li Xiao Li stepped into the room, the dim light only allowing her to see Mu Zi Qiu's figure sitting on the sofa.

  "I..."

  "Don't scare sister!" Mu Zi Qiu, who was on the sofa, gave Li Xiao Li a fright! This wasn't the first time Mu Zi Qiu had been in such a situation, and there was only one reason for it - he was being stared at by a large crowd of people! As soon as Mu Zi Qiu was stared at by a large crowd of people, whenever someone asked him to do something, this kind of situation would always happen! Li Xiao Li didn't think twice, and immediately wrapped his arms around Mu Zi Qiu's curled-up body, gently patting his back with his right hand, letting him lean against his shoulder.

  "Sister... I'm so scared... it wasn't me... really, it wasn't me, I didn't do anything!" At this time, Muzi Qiu's voice was trembling, as if chilled to the bone.

  "Sister knows, it's not you! It's not you!" Lee Hyo-ri had also tried asking before and guessed that this was something that happened to him before he met her, or why he was picked up by her in that place. Maybe because of this thing... but when asked, Muzi Qiu himself didn't know either. She wanted to take him to see a psychologist, but was afraid that Muzi Qiu would think otherwise. Fortunately, Muzi Qiu had never liked being part of the crowd since he was young, so the probability of such situations occurring was reduced to the lowest. Occasionally, only when she was there, things would slowly get better. To Muzi Qiu, Lee Hyo-ri was like a harbor, even if he drifted outside and got tired, experienced bitterness, and his wounds were cut deep, as long as she was there, everything would slowly heal, until no scars remained, or perhaps, be deeply buried again under thick mud...

  "Sister!" The trembling voice had slowly calmed down, eventually becoming peaceful. As the room gradually darkened, a warm atmosphere slowly rose up...

  "Sister, where are you? Are you okay?"

  "Hmm!"

  "That's good, sister, I'm so hungry!" Seeing Mugunghwa's voice return to normal, Lee Hyori immediately shifted his attention, the best way, of course, is himself!

  "I'm going to cook! I'll be right there!" As soon as he heard his sister say she was hungry, Muzi Qiu, who had just escaped from his inner entanglement, immediately broke free from Lee Hyori's arms, wiped the wet mark on his cheek, turned on the light in the house, and ran into the kitchen.

  "What's going on?" Li Xiaoli looked at the busy Muzi Qiu, and the question that had been embedded deep in her heart rose again.

  "Sister is here too, it's been a long time since we last cooked together!" Since I couldn't think of anything, then I won't think so much about it!
