Chapter 109 Under the Mask

For some reason, Su Mi felt panicked for a moment.

I always feel like he is stubbornly looking at her true appearance through the mask.

And...why does he feel so familiar?

The tassels of the mask swayed, blurring her outline.

The hustle and bustle around me seemed to be fading away.

She came back to her senses, quickly let go of his sleeve, and lowered her head, "Sorry."

Having said that, she turned aside and prepared to leave.

"etc."

This sound... Su Mi was so frightened that he dared not move, and even felt that he was hallucinating.

A vague guess arose in her mind, but she tried hard to suppress it. This was abroad, not Hwaseong, so 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 rhinestone bracelet she was wearing had fallen off at some point and was now lying quietly on the ground.

As she bent to pick up the bracelet, 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.

When they reached a corner with few people, Su Mi breathed 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 that 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 while shaking the glass.

After a while, the lights in the bar suddenly dimmed.

Then the host took the microphone and said, "Welcome everyone to tonight's singles masked dance. Tonight is destined to be a romantic, intoxicating, and free-spirited encounter. Now please move to the dance floor, choose a dance partner of your choice, dance with him, let the melody move your soul, and release your passion to your heart's content."

Then there was cheers from the audience.

It turned out to be a bachelorette party. This Su Tang...if Daddy knew she brought herself 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 and brows showing signs of drunkenness. The alcohol drove her spirit to be active, and her mind began to stir. She put down the glass and went to the dance floor.

Just after taking a few steps, a man wearing a golden hollow mask came over. He was wearing a white suit and was very gentle. He stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, can I invite you to be my dance partner?"

Su Mi thought 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 into 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, if it’s blocked like this, you can only see the eyes.

Su Mi smiled and said, "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 seen this before?"

"I can't remember clearly. If I am lucky enough to take off your mask tonight, maybe I can remember it."

It turns 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 for hunting.

Su Mi curled his lips and smiled, "Only behind the mask can we have spiritual resonance, right?"

Then, following the changes in the music, she spun out, her skirt spreading out like a blooming flower, and she moved backwards, preparing to leave the dance floor.

But she didn't know that this stage happened to be the time to change dance partners. Just after she took a few steps back, she fell into a man's arms, and he 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 accidentally bumped into just now.

Could it be that it wasn't an illusion... No, there are too many people with similar voices in this world, and it may not 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 repressed. Yes, there is always a kind of suffocating dullness 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 the two of them was very strange. He didn't say a word, but his pupils were dark and cold under the mask, staring at her without any warmth.

The atmosphere around them was clearly fiery, with flashing lights, noisy voices, and lively drum beats, but because of his joining, it became awkward.

Su Mi felt his whole body begin to become stiff and he was almost sober. This man...he felt very dangerous.

She hoped to use that opportunity again to escape from the dance floor.

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 golden-masked man who had just danced with her looking in their direction with a depressed look, obviously unwilling.

The girl who had been in 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 him 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.

He seemed to be reminding her of her inattention.

Su Mi raised his head to look at him; his eyes beneath the mask were still as cold as ever.

This time he finally spoke, "You look familiar."

This tone is not the same as the man just now, but a statement tone.

Su Mi chuckled, her eyes sparkling, "Do you men like this opening remark?"

"The voice is familiar too."

Su Mi suddenly didn't dare to say a word because he was holding her waist with increasing force.

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 this, Su Mi only felt her arm being grabbed, and then she was pulled out of the dance floor by him.

He took big steps, and the sleeves of his black shirt were rolled up. The blue veins on his arms were obvious and prominent, like protruding branches, gathering strength to break free from their restraints.

Su Mi looked at him with fear in her heart. She didn't believe that he 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 his senses, he had already pinned her 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, looking down on her, as if she were just an ant struggling to survive at his feet.

His aura was too strong, and he didn't give her a chance to breathe.
