Chapter 102

  My mood is even more down than before, but I'm still smiling on the surface.

  "Forcing a smile doesn't suit you." Si Fan said with a smile. I was taken aback, and then smiled too, this time it was a genuine smile. Accompanying him back into the venue, I saw Ye Chenyi on stage taking his final bow, and I couldn't help but laugh even harder. Ye Chenyi, I had another reason to make myself forget you, but why did I decide to pretend not to know?

  Ye Chenyi's next group is us, I don't know if it's the arrangement of fate. Ye Chenyi and I brushed past each other as he came down from the stage, but neither of us turned our heads, and we left directly.

  I suddenly feel like laughing, Ye Chenyi, can our tacit understanding only be reflected here?

  It's undeniable that I have an aversion to assassins in my heart, perhaps it's the bloodline. Assassins and gangsters are not exactly glorious professions, but they seem to despise each other. However, I don't dislike Ye Chenyi... I just feel a little sad...

  When the music started, when the lights shone on us two, I saw Ye Chenyi for a moment, that beautiful smile, but in my heart, I knew he was Si Fan. Looking at him again, his eyes were also bewildered, this gaze was absolutely impossible to be directed at someone who was basically meeting for the first time, and I wouldn't believe it was because he had been secretly in love with me for a long time. It should be said that his eyes and mine were similar, as if we both saw another person...

  Spinning and spinning again, same dance music, same dance steps, but without the same feelings, even less the same heartbeat...

  I know Ye Chenyi under the stage is watching me, I vaguely remember that he seems to be a person who likes to eat vinegar very much, wondering if he is still the same as before?

  When the last spin stopped, Xuan held my hand and bowed to the judges and audience.

  "Ugh... I'm so tired!" As soon as I stepped off the stage, I stretched my waist and arms. It was so stiff and uncomfortable up there, and this outfit - a pale pink fitted dress with a huge bow at the waist that's really eye-catching. I don't know if it's because I've lost some weight recently, but I think I look pretty good right now.

  Xie Fan chuckled and I glanced at his white suit, hmm, indeed a bit higher would be better.

  "Xiao Fei!" You Xuan swiftly ran to my side, pulled me over and whispered in my ear: "Why didn't you choose Ye Chenyi as your dance partner? Aren't you making things easy for Fang Shiyun?"

  I looked at her with a smile and said, "It's not that serious, it's just a dance, besides, Ye Chenyi isn't mine, why does my partner have to be him?" The words came out naturally and smoothly, but only I knew that I was hiding the sadness in my heart.

  "Never mind. But Xiao Fei, you look really beautiful today!" You Xuan's eyes widened again with excitement, and I smiled as I helped her tidy up her hair, complaining: "Why say that today's outfit is also very elegant, just tone it down a bit."

  "Heh heh."

  I think it's good to live a plain and dull life like now, although occasionally there will be some boredom, but at least you don't need too much hypocrisy - this is my reflection on living in Ye Chenyi's house for the past few days.

  Little poems basically don't go to school with us, and at home, they mostly stay in their room. So there were fewer waves than I expected. Today I went home very early, and Ye Chenyi and I both refused to talk about this exam, and it turned out that our tacit understanding came from evasion...

  It's been a long time since I've entered the kitchen, and it's rare for me to decide to cook. As I hummed a tune while carrying all the dishes to the dining room, I couldn't find Ye Chenyi anywhere. I don't know if it was just my imagination, but I felt like I was the only living being in this villa at that moment... My first instinct was that Ye Chenyi had left, and I didn't know if it was temporary or permanent. All I knew was that he was gone, and my nervous body trembled all over. I almost searched every room on this floor, but still, there was only me...

  My heart suddenly accelerated, a sense of fear that cannot be put into words spread over my heart. It has been four years since I lived alone, but why am I already reluctant to part with these days of having someone by my side in less than half a year? At this moment, I thought the sky and earth had collapsed, and I would have to return to my previous life. But more importantly, Ye Chenyi was gone!

  "Xiao Fei! What's wrong?" The sound of the door opening, followed by a gentle voice. I don't know what triggered it, maybe it was the sudden lightning and thunder outside the window? I trembled and slowly crouched down, hugging myself tightly, thinking that this would bring some comfort...

  "Xiao Fei?" I felt someone pat my shoulder, the hand was cool but comfortable. "Oh, so Xiao Fei is afraid of thunder?" The voice spoke again, this time seeming to drag out the tone as if it had discovered some secret.

  I subconsciously turned around and tightly hugged that person, burying my head deep into his chest.
