Chapter 31.2 (2/2)

I hated drunkards who had that smell of alcohol on them . In my dream, I gave her a cold smile . I didn’t respond, and just continued walking away .

Yin Xuan yelled at me from behind . Seeing me ignore her, she finally burst into a rage and slammed the car door .

“Stop! Why are you doing this?! Do you look down on me?! Compete with me if you dare! And why did you have to reject Li Jing? Is it because of how high and mighty you are?! He had his family matters . He just walked out of h.e.l.l and now you’re pus.h.i.+ng him back in . If you were going to reject him anyways, then why give him false hope?!”

The real me was like a third-person observer . I looked at my dream self turn around . Her cold demeanor was unfamiliar, her back was straight, and she seemed high and lofty .

“Your name is Yin Xuan, right?”

She glared at me furiously .

I spoke calmly . “You like Li Jing, right? Then what rights do you have to question me like this? Since I rejected him, you should be happy . ”

“But why do you have to reject him so cruelly?! You didn’t just turn him down, you said that you would never be with him for your entire life!”

Because of this, I felt a painful burning in my chest . Then, I heard my cold voice again .

“I’m speaking the truth . ”

Yin Xuan couldn’t mask her fury . She screamed at me, “What good is it to dance well if you act like that? You don’t have any feelings . All your emotions are fake! One day, everyone will discover what a sham you are . They’ll rip you apart and drag you down from the stage!”

My dream self finally became angered . “I’ve already signed with a ballet troupe as princ.i.p.al . Once I perform publicly for the first time, everyone will know of me . And you’ll just be some pitiful person who hates me . ”

I saw her face darken with fury . Yin Xuan was already heavily intoxicated . She stumbled as she walked . She yelled at me like an old drunkard who lacked logic and dignity .

“You demon! I hate you! I curse you to lose it all!”

I was no longer looking at her . I walked away in the rain, minding my own business . Yin Xuan was left far behind, and slowly her curses faded in the distance .

I didn’t feel a strong sense of hatred . I only felt at a loss . This feeling evolved into despair and annoyance under Yin Xuan’s curses .

I stopped along sidewalk . The rain blurred the city, and the telephone booth’s gla.s.s reflected my profile . I took out my phone and scrolled through my contacts . There was no one I could call .

In this dream, the darkness was pervasive . One wrong step, and it felt like I would fall into an abyss .

Yin Xuan finally stopped cursing me . She had probably climbed back into her car . I could hear the starting of the engine . She then slammed the gas in anger and rushed forward .

This was to be the crash . I felt myself flying out . My legs had probably shattered . In that moment, I thought I could hear the cracking of my bones . It was an intense pain .

Blood flew everywhere .

I finally awoke from the nightmare .

At this time, the sky was still dark and it was still raining outside . I curled into a ball and hugged myself .

The abrupt memories put me at a loss . And my unfamiliar, foreign dream self made me very afraid .

I clearly remembered the last moment . Yin Xuan only wanted to quickly speed away . It was me who had jumped out in front of her car from the sidewalk .

Yin Xuan never wanted to kill me . It was I who wanted to die .
