Chapter 31.2

Three days later, “Only I Dance” premiered . It was a huge accomplishment .

“Yan Xiao! I really can’t believe it! This really is a good film! And to think that the lead actress is right by my side!” Even though I had a small role, in Wu Ke’s head, I was the star . She really was happy . “You danced so well! You and Yin Xuan are both wonderful! You guys really dance well together . ”

Posters of “Only I Dance” blanketed the entire city . People even started to take notice of me . People were discussing the press conference Yin Xuan was to hold tomorrow .

Yet I sat at home packing my luggage . I wanted to run away . I couldn’t imagine what expression Yin Li would have once he knew of everything . What would his beautiful face warp into, once filled with hatred? And that hatred would probably be directed toward me .

“Indeed, you don’t seem to be in the best mental state lately . Going away may be good for you . ” Frank approved . “You don’t know this, but the sponsor is also very worried about you . He…” Frank was helping me tidy my books . Halfway through speaking, he let out a yelp .

“Ho, you really are a boy magnet no matter where you go . Even when you don’t dance, you still receive love letters . ” His tone was mischievous, and he took out a note from one of my books . Then he made a face and started reading, “‘When you dance again, everyone will become your slave . ’ Too bad he doesn’t know you don’t know German . The most important part—the “I love you”—was written in German . ”

“This definitely isn’t one of my Frenchmen,” he concluded . “Because he used German, he’s bound to fail . ”

I suddenly seemed to have discovered something .

I stared at the piece of paper in his hands, and looked at the German I couldn’t read . “Frank, be honest with me . Who’s the one sponsoring me?!”

Frank was startled and then started stammering .

I stared at him . “This note was among the DVD recordings that you had given me . I had always a.s.sumed that you wrote it, and randomly tucked it away in another book . Now, Monsieur Too-Proud-to-Tell-Lie, can you tell me who got me these materials? Who is the one sponsoring you?”

Frank was unable to continue the charade, and finally admitted defeat .

“It’s Mr . Yin . ”

However, in the end, I still ripped apart the note that night . I would be taking a flight out of this city tomorrow to travel . Yin Xuan would publicly come clean to everything, and Yin Li would be in pain . Then, he would hate me until he forgot about me .

All would pa.s.s .

That night, it poured . It was as if it was cleansing this mortal world .

In the midst of the thunder, I slept uneasily . The nightmares had returned .

It was the same rainy dreamland . I walked in the streets, hearing the pitter-patter of the rain . In this kind of weather, there were no pedestrians . I felt like I was walking on and on . I didn’t know why . I looked at the endless road before me . It seemed dim and full of despair . That feeling felt so real that I doubted I was dreaming .

I had an umbrella in my hand, but didn’t use it . The rain wet my hair and face . I turned off the endless quiet road into a familiar alleyway . Then, behind me, bright, blinding headlights flashed and I heard honking .

I sluggishly turned around and saw the headlights coming closer . I saw Yin Xuan’s face in the driver’s seat . Then, my vision turned into a blur .

In my half-conscious state, my fingers were tightly curled .

These were probably the memories of Yin Xuan running me over . Unexpectedly, it came to me like this on this sort of night .

I clenched my first tightly , but I was still stuck in this dream .

However, the frightful crash didn’t happen . In the rain, Yin Xuan purposely used the headlights to blind me . But in the end, she still stopped the car before it reached me .

“Alicia, we need to talk . ” She stuck her hand out of the fancy sports car . She seemed out of it, and her cheeks were unnaturally red . She had drunk quite a bit of wine .
