Chapter 109 Under the Mask
For some reason, Su Mi felt panicked for a moment.
I always feel like he is stubbornly trying to see her true appearance through the mask.
And...why does he feel so familiar?
The tassels of the mask swayed, blurring her outline.
The surrounding noise seemed to be gradually fading away.
She came back to her senses, quickly let go of his sleeve, and lowered her head, "I'm sorry."
After saying that, she turned sideways and prepared to leave.
"etc."
This voice... Su Mi was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, and even felt that he was hallucinating.
A vague guess emerged in her mind, but she tried hard to suppress it. This was abroad, not Huacheng, it couldn't be him.
The person behind her took a few steps and stood behind her, "You dropped something."
Su Mi looked back and saw that the pink diamond bracelet on her wrist had fallen off at some point and was now lying quietly on the ground.
She bent down to pick up the bracelet, and during this time she could feel the man's gaze on her.
She picked it up quickly, nodded at him without saying a word, then turned and walked away quickly.
Only when they reached a corner where there were fewer people did Su Mi breathe a sigh of relief. He took out the bracelet and saw that the clasp was loose. No wonder it fell off.
She looked back and the man was gone.
I thought it must be her illusion, and she must have been hallucinating because of the dream.
After finding a seat at the bar, Su Mi ordered a glass of whiskey and sipped it.
After a while, the lights in the bar suddenly dimmed.
Then the host took the microphone and said, "Welcome everyone to tonight's single masked ball. Tonight is destined to be a romantic, intoxicating, and spontaneous encounter. Now please move to the dance floor, choose a partner of your choice, dance with him or her, let the melody dance to your soul, and unleash your passion."
Then the whole audience cheered.
It turned out to be a singles dance. This Su Tang... If Daddy knew that she brought her here, he would definitely hold her ears and give her a good scolding.
At this time, the lights on the dance floor were dim and ambiguous, and many people had already walked inside to look for their dance partners.
Among so many people, Su Mi quickly saw Su Tang inside. She was dancing with a man wearing a silver white fox mask.
Looking at the pace of the two people, the rhythm of the dance is very cheerful and they are both immersed in it.
Su Mi finished the whisky in her hand, her eyes showing signs of drunkenness. The alcohol drove her spirit to be active, and her thoughts began to stir. She put down the glass and went to the dance floor.
After taking a few steps, a man wearing a golden hollow mask came over. He was wearing a white suit and looked very refined. He extended a hand and said, "Hello, can I invite you to be my dance partner?"
Su Mi felt that the other party was quite polite and courteous, and there was nothing wrong with dancing, so she treated it as a normal social interaction and agreed.
Holding each other's arms, the two slid onto the dance floor together and began dancing to the rhythm of the music.
The man took the initiative to chat with her and was not stingy with his compliments, "You have beautiful eyes."
Of course, it’s blocked like this, so you can only see the eyes.
Su Mi smiled, "Thank you."
"I don't know why, but I always feel like you're familiar."
This familiar opening line...
Su Mi looked surprised, "Really? Where have we met before?"
"I can't remember clearly. If I have the honor to take off your mask tonight, maybe I can remember it."
It turned out that he wanted to see her appearance. That's right, men are all visual animals.
Suddenly I felt quite bored. I thought all the men here tonight were probably here hunting.
Su Mi curved his lips and smiled, "Only under the mask can we have a telepathic connection, right?"
After saying that, she spun out as the music changed, her skirt spreading out like a blooming flower, and she moved backward, preparing to leave the dance floor.
But she didn't know that this part happened to be the time to change dance partners. Just after she took a few steps back, she fell into the arms of a man, who held her waist and intertwined her hands.
When she looked up, her heart skipped a beat. The black and gold mask in front of her... looked very familiar. It was the person she had accidentally bumped into just now.
Could it be that it wasn't an illusion... No, there are too many people in this world who sound similar to him, it couldn't necessarily be him.
Moreover, the two men have completely different temperaments. Xiao Xuanjin is a casual, naughty, and unruly cheetah, while the man in front of him is mature, deep, and suppressed. Yes, there is always a kind of suffocating dull feeling about him.
It is like a giant mountain in the deep sea, without any luster, surrounded by shadows and cold colors, standing powerfully and lonely, without any warmth.
The atmosphere between them was very strange. He did not speak, but his pupils were dark and cold beneath the mask, staring at her without any warmth.
The surroundings were clearly filled with a fiery atmosphere, with flashing lights, noisy voices, and lively drum beats, but because of his joining, everything became awkward.
Su Mi felt his whole body begin to stiffen, and he was almost sober. This man... he felt very dangerous.
She hoped to use that opportunity to escape from the dance floor again.
But the next time the music changed, the man seemed to know her intention and did not give her that chance, keeping her firmly under his control.
Su Mi glanced to the side and saw the man with the golden mask who had just danced with her. He was looking at them with a depressed look, obviously unwilling.
The girl who had been transferred to his arms was also looking at them, looking resentfully at the man opposite Su Mi.
It seems that the heroine was just his dance partner.
Before she could finish watching, there was a sudden quick spin and Su Mi was picked up by the waist. When she landed, she found that her position was swapped with the man. His body just blocked her sight and she could not see that side.
It was as if he was reminding her of her inattention.
Su Mi raised her eyes to look at him, his gaze beneath the mask was still as cold as ever.
This time he finally spoke, "You look familiar."
This tone was not the same as the man's just now, but a statement tone.
Su Mi chuckled, her eyes sparkling, "Do you men like this opening line?"
"The voice is familiar too."
Su Mi suddenly didn't dare to say a word because the strength of his grip on her waist was increasing.
He gave her a feeling that was both strange and familiar.
Anyway, it's very contradictory.
Su Mi didn't even dare to think about it.
He continued, "Since dancing can't keep you focused, let's try something else."
After saying that, Su Mi only felt her arm being grabbed, and then she was pulled out of the dance floor by him.
He took big steps, with the sleeves of his black shirt rolled up, and the blue veins on his arms were conspicuous and prominent, like the protruding branches of a tree, gathering strength to break free from its restraints.
Su Mi looked at him with a frightened heart. She didn't believe that it was him, but various signs seemed to remind her to be careful and not let him find out.
He was very strong. When Su Mi came to her senses, she found herself pressed against the wall in the corner.
With her back against the wall, she had nowhere to retreat. The man stood in front of her, his tall figure blocking out the already dim light.
He used his height advantage to look down at her, as if she was just an ant struggling to survive at his feet.
His aura was too strong, leaving her no chance to breathe.
