Chapter 32: Counterattack (2)

  "Oh no! Sorry about that! I didn't mean to!" Yan Xi slowly withdrew his foot from stepping on Xiao Yan's skirt, not hiding the smile in his words at all.

  Xiao Yan listened to the laughter behind her and Yan Xi's apologetic smile, and was helped up by Ye Chen. Her ankle was red, but she walked towards Yan Xi with a steady pace, her eyes and face still icy cold. Xian Qi was so angry that she wanted to rush over and tear off Yan Xi's smiling face, but was held back tightly by Xiao Yan. Ye Chen moved his lips to ask if Xiao Yan was okay, but was stopped by Xiao Yan's smile.

  Xiao Yan walked directly in front of Yan Xi, her eyes as cold as ice, but a bright smile hung on her face:

  "It's okay." As she spoke, Xiaoyan casually picked up a glass of wine from the table behind her and splashed it onto Yanxi's face. "Oh no! Sorry sorry! I didn't mean to!"

  Xiao Yan learned from Yang Xi's tone, repeatedly apologized, and picked up a paper towel to wipe the wine water on Yang Xi's face. After being splashed with water, the delicate makeup on Yang Xi's face had already been ruined, and after Xiao Yan wiped it off, she looked like a clown cat, ridiculous and laughable. Fortunately, they were in a small corner, and not many people noticed.

  Many people looked at Yan Xi's big flower face and snickered, especially Xian Qi, whose original anger had now turned into laughter that left her doubled over.

  Yan Xi's heart was about to explode with anger, but he couldn't yell at the apologetic Xiaoyan in front of him. He had no choice but to suppress his rage and roughly shook off her hand that was wiping his face, then quickly ran up to the second floor of the banquet hall. He must have gone to wash his face and change his makeup.

  Yan Xi walked away, and Xian Qi hurriedly came up to Xiao Yan and said:

  "Wow! You're so cool! Using someone's own method against them is amazing!"

  Xiao Yan smiled and didn't say anything else. Enduring the sharp pain in her ankle, she waved at Ye Chen Xiang and walked towards the bathroom, each step making the pain worse.

  Xiao Yan arrived at the bathroom, washing off the mixture of wine and makeup from her hands. She stared at herself in the mirror, her icy gaze sending chills down her spine. Xiao Yan didn't know why she had counterattacked Yang Xi, nor did she understand how she had managed to do so. Even a weak sheep can easily gnaw through the hand that repeatedly beats it.

  Xiao Yan bent down and gently rubbed her swollen ankle, the first time she wore high heels, she actually twisted her foot. She let out a soft sigh, turned around, lifted her head, and saw a familiar white figure flashing in the mirror, overlapping with her own face, grinning. That smile was just like the one she had when facing Yan Xi earlier, eerie and terrifying, but Xiao Yan was completely unaware.

  Xiao Yan stared blankly at the shadow overlapping with herself in the mirror, panicked and hastily walked out of the bathroom.

  That night, Yan Xi and Xiao Yan had no more encounters, but Yan Xi's scorching gaze followed Xiao Yan all the time. It was a peaceful evening after all. Until past 11 o'clock, Xian Qi reluctantly left with her brother, and Ye Chen also sent Xiao Yan back home.

  Xiao Yan got off the car and waved goodbye to Ye Chen, then walked straight into the building.

  The night was late, and when I looked at my phone, it was already past midnight. The corridor, even the entire neighborhood, was unusually quiet, as if only the high-heeled shoes underfoot made a crisp sound with each step.

  As I approached the corridor, there were a few faint footsteps beside me, seemingly existing and non-existent at the same time. Looking around, I saw two green lights flickering next to the trash can under the stairs, appearing eerie and mysterious in the dark of night, flashing on and off...

  Xiao Yan thought she had misseen it, rubbed her eyes and looked again at the dark place with green light flashing, and indeed there were still two green lights appearing out of thin air, as if they would move, slowly floating towards Xiao Yan!

  As she saw the green light slowly moving towards her, getting closer and closer, Xiaoyan's heart couldn't help but feel a chill of fear. But her feet didn't dare to move, escaping, and she stood frozen in place. Suddenly, she thought of something.

  Could it be...the legendary ghost fire?
