NOVPUBShe was supposed to be the best of the best! She could step down on anyone, but no one can step down on her!
No matter what the audience thought at the moment, the lights turned black, and when they brightened back up, Yue Ran had already appeared on stage in a charming dancing posture.
Fog slowly rose under the stage as the music began playing.
When Yue Ran opened her eyes, she started moving.
A beauty.
It is a beauty like an immortal, a beauty beyond all the hues in the world, and it has long been impossible for people to use words to describe and outline it.
The music had long been lost somewhere in the background, and all eyes stuck to her figure on stage, clad in fiery red, flamboyant, and gorgeous.
Her slim figure traveled from one end of the stage to another; her waterfall-like black hair fluttered in an arc, as if a huge ink curtain had opened in the air; and the ends of her red dress flitted and danced with her movements, as if in a dreamy rhythm.
Her fair skin was almost transparent under the white light, and her beautifully exposed collarbone drew a graceful curve with her every motion.
A pair of soul-stirring eyes swept across the audience, looking so clear and free that even the stars in the sky would be eclipsed by them.
Once in a while, with her dancing, her white jade feet would be inadvertently exposed.
Yue Ran was as beautiful as an illusory dream but also so fragile-looking.
Countless people once again showed obsession, but this time it was not because of the interference of world consciousness but because of the amazement and exclamation from the bottom of their hearts.
At this time, Yue Ran was lost in music, intoxicated by its sound, and feeling its rhythm through her very bones.
The chatter disappeared as she basked in the aura of the sounds that surrounded her until suddenly it was just her, the music, and the stage.
If one wants to impress everyone, one must first be intoxicated and passionate about something in order to amaze the audience and take their breath away.
Move with the wind. Dancing like soaring. Be free.
A string of golden bells dangled from Yue Ran's white ankles, tinkling with her every step. The clear ringing was hypnotic; as if by magic, everyone's heart tightened as they followed her steps.
Sitting in front with the best view of the stage, Jin Yao was unquestionably the most surprised. This was something he had never seen before and could never imagine. He had never known that Yue Ran had such an amazing talent for dancing.
Yue Ran was like a peerless treasure at this moment, capturing everyone's attention and causing their heartbeats to thunder.
No one would not want to hold her in the palms of their hands.
At the end of the song, the fog gradually disappeared, as did the beauty on stage following the curtain call.
Yue Ran didn't give anyone special attention. She just bowed before walking towards the darkness behind the curtains with gentle steps.
All of a sudden, the three male protagonists and the villain somehow, inexplicably, felt heavy heart palpitations. It was the kind of palpitations that gave them a bad feeling, as if something bad would happen soon.
Why did they feel like they were about to lose something important?
They only felt at ease when Yue Ran appeared back inside the auditorium in front of everyone in casual clothes not long after.
Mu Chen, being Mu Chen, was not stingy with his words of praise as Yue Ran once again took her seat beside him, complimenting her to the skies and glorifying her as the only one unique in both heaven and earth.
In the end, he came to the conclusion of his speech. "I always knew that you would be an existence that would amaze everyone."
Yue Ran kept a permanent smile on her lips as she listened to Mu Chen's compliments. After all, who doesn't like it when someone keeps praising themselves?
The two other male protagonists—Jiang Yi and Yang Chi—chipped in from time to time in between Mu Chen's words.
Although these people were captured by the saintly halo of the female protagonist's catwalk show for a moment, Yue Ran will reluctantly forgive them, at least for now.

The game is almost over, and the fun is just beginning.
Yue Ran looked at Jin Yao, who was standing in front of her with a very sweet smile on her face. Her eyes still held the same adoration that one could easily drown the other in, but something was missing in them that Jin Yao couldn't quite place.
"Senior Jin Yao, is there a problem?"
Yue Ran was currently at her university when she bumped into Jin Yao, and so here she was, talking to him.
Jin Yao's face darkened with anger. It was an inexplicable anger that he did not fully understand himself, but all he could see was red.
A problem?
How could Yue Ran say this to him?
How could Yue Ran do this to him?
Give up halfway, she said?
Isn't this the same thing that happened when she was pursuing Jiang Yi?
She had no patience anymore, she said?
Countless thoughts flashed through Jin Yao's mind, and the expression on his face became more and more gloomy.
Jin Yao gritted his teeth and tried his best to swallow back his anger. "Shouldn't you at least give me an explanation?" He asked in the calmest tone that he could muster in his current condition.
He didn't want Yue Ran to think that he was someone who could not control his own emotions.
Now it was time for Yue Ran's true personality to shine. She was, after all, a rogue, someone who did whatever she wanted with no regard for ethics or scruples.
With a few steps, she arrived only inches away from Jin Yao's face as if to kiss him, but she only stopped when their lips were about to be pressed against each other.
"What explanation do I need to give you?"
She blatantly spouted out harsh words with a teasing smile on her lips and an affectionate pair of soul-stirring eyes that stared straight at his.
"Yue Ran, you are the one who provokes me first!" Jin Yao's expression was stiff and not good-looking at all, not that he could help it himself. "I just want to ask you one question: were you sincere when you said that you like me?"
Yue Ran seemed to have heard something funny, and so her eyes were glittering as if all the stars in the night sky were plucked out of the heavens and placed into the very same eyes. n𝚘vp𝚞𝚋.com
There was a smile on the corner of her lips. Even at this point in time, her smile still looked so beautiful—so beautiful that it eclipsed the beauty of all the flowers in their surroundings.
"How could I not be sincere, Senior Jin Yao?" She lowered her eyes a little. "I liked you very much before, but it's a pity."
"...What's a pity?"
The corners of Jin Yao's eyes were flushed red. How could Yue Ran still look so uncaring after tweaking his own heartstrings?
"Senior Jin Yao, I am only human, and I can also get tired. I've been chasing you for so long, but you didn't respond to me at all, and you often spoke harsh words to me. It's tiring to like someone like you, so I decided to give up."
The smile on Yue Ran's face disappeared as she slowly stabbed Jin Yao's heart with her calm words.
"No, it's not like that!"
Don't!
Don't give up!
Don't give up on liking me!
Following Yue Ran's words, Jin Yao thought of all the harsh words he had said to Yue Ran in the past and regretted them very much.
Yue Ran is so good, why would he turn a blind eye to her?
Jin Yao was conflicted and didn't know how to deal with the problem in front of him.
Yue Ran didn't care about what he was thinking, so she just left him behind.
Things would be almost resolved by the time Jin Yao had figured things out on his own.
For now, she still had to solve the next one.
