Jin blinked rapidly, surprised at the invitation. "Why do you want me to dance with you?"
"Because I feel pitiful for you. Is that reason enough?"
His gaze darkened. "I don't need your pity!"
"But I need some entertainment," Alix frowned.
He sneered. "Not my problem."
"Will you accept my hand or should I scream at the top of my voice about your feelings for Shui?"
He scoffed. "You won't do that."
"You know you can try to hide that smell with a gum, but you have definitely smoked, right?"
His eyes narrowed.
She smiled. "Why would you smoke at such a cool party? Are you sad? Are you depressed?"
He glared at her.
"Dance with me or I will scream. And I will scream if you don't agree. What do I have to lose anyway? My reputation is already in the dumps," she chuckled. "Oh, you can also use this chance to make Shui jealous~"
Jin grimaced and accepted her hand. "I don't want to make anybody jealous. And I want you off my back, so let's get this over with."
"I am not getting off your back anytime soon," she laughed heartily.
Mui, who was dancing with one of the reputed professionals, watched in shock as Alix came on the floor with Jin. Not only her but everybody had their jaws dropped.
Yuze's eyes slightly widened. "Alix and Liu Jin will be dancing...?"
Shui, too, was surprised to see that Jin would agree. Usually, he never liked to become the center of attention. Then she considered Alix's nature and sighed.
She must have threatened him for sure... .net
The music started and as everybody danced, the more burning question in everybody's mind was about Jin and Alix. At first, Alix chased after Yuze but ever since she woke up from her coma, it seemed that her craziness for him had settled down.
"Well, during our last art class, she had something different to say. She said that you had confessed to her instead of her confessing you and she rejected you."
Yuze stared at her, speechless. "Huh? That's...the complete opposite of what actually happened."
"That's what she is sticking to."
He shook his head. "Then it's definitely her memories that are messing up her mind. I don't blame her though. Ever since our breakup, she hadn't been in control of her emotions...Maybe her coma is mixing up the order."
From the other side as Alix and Jin were tuned to their own dance, she smiled. "It's nice to see people's envy."
"Envy?" Jin raised his brow.
"Look at how the women are biting on their nails with frustration. A previous madwoman is sharing a dance with Liu Jin. How come she deserves to dance with him? Has she now changed her target from Kang Yuze to Liu Jin? I want to dance with Liu Jin too," she mimicked their pouted expressions with a touch of her own comedy.
His brow twitched. His gaze then fell upon Shui and Yuze.
"That's the eleventh time you are looking that way. So insulting when a beautiful woman is right in your arms~"
He scowled. "I am not looking at them."
"Sure if you say so," she said insincerely.
"Why did you offer to dance?"
"I like to spite people."
"..."
"Don't look at me like that. Touching people's sore spots earns me some very interesting reactions."
"You like people cursing you?"
She snorted. "Only cowards curse. I like people who are courageous enough to act on their stupid impulses. I like it even more when I can use their little acts of impulses for my own purposes."
"I have no clue what you are talking about," Jin gave up. "You only talk in circles."
"Ah trust me, Liu Jin. The party has been very boring. It's now that the real fun will begin~"
