The younger sister pretends to be hypnotized, and her older brother gets addicted.

Ruan Yang did not believe it.

She had studied ballet for so many years and had never heard of anything so absurd.

When her male partner saw that she didn't believe him, he led her backstage.

Inside the dressing room, she overheard another pair of partners helping each other solve a problem.

Some of the boys even have girlfriends.

Ruan Yang was terrified.

Her male partner chuckled, put his arm around her waist, and said, "Do you believe me now?"

Ruan Yang pushed her partner away and went home.

She fell seriously ill and decided to quit her job at the theater troupe.

Later, Ruan Yang asked a senior she was close to and found out that she had been tricked.

"Honey, the theater troupe doesn't say anything like that."

"A partner is a partner. Who would have a reaction to a colleague? They'd be too busy hating them!"

"Besides, guys these days are all shrewd! My boyfriend's been kept by a rich woman; he wouldn't even look at honest girls like us!"

Ruan Yang suffered in silence.

But this is something I really can't bring myself to talk about.

She couldn't bring herself to say it, so she could only say that she wasn't used to the troupe's work pace.

No one said anything on the surface, but they probably all thought the same as Jiang Zhuo in private: that she was someone who couldn't endure hardship.

Which girl who learns dance hasn't gone through a lot of hardship?

……

Under the scorching sun, Ruan Yang gathered her thoughts.

Jiang Zhuo's laughter came through the phone.

He said, "Ruan Yang, I know. You got jealous after seeing my post on WeChat Moments yesterday, which is why you ran away from home, right?"

"Tsk, I wonder who said it doesn't matter if I date other women?"

Jiang Zhuo mimicked her tone, which was very irritating.

Ruan Yang was so angry that her throat tightened and she couldn't speak.

"Alright, this won't happen again." Jiang Zhuo's voice was a little hoarse, but it sounded very soothing. "I forgive you this time, but you can't act up again, or we'll break up forever, understand?"

Jiang Zhuo is always like this.

Give someone a slap, then give them a sweet treat.

Ruan Yang remembered that one year on her birthday, Jiang Zhuo took her to a horror escape room.

Before going in, he confidently declared, "Don't be afraid, I'll protect you."

But halfway through, he disappeared.

Ruan Yang was terrified and cried, but she couldn't find him no matter how hard she looked.

She kept calling his name until her voice became hoarse.

But Jiang Zhuo didn't come back.

No one took her out.

She walked alone, stumbling and staggering, for a long time, and finally found the exit.

The door opened.

Along with the sunlight, what entered her eyes were Jiang Zhuo and his friends.

He stood in the middle of the crowd, lazily holding the cake.

"Ruan Xiaoyang, are you stupid? My arms are already sore from holding this up for so long."

As she spoke, she laughed and imitated her terrified expression in the secret room.

Everyone laughed along.

"Don't cry." Jiang Zhuo stepped forward, wiped away her tears, and said in a rare gentle tone, "This cake was custom-made by me. Blow out the candles."

The next second, Ruan Yang smeared cake on Jiang Zhuo's face.

Jiang Zhuo was stunned.

Immediately, anger clouded the boy's fair face.

"Ruan Yang, I went to great lengths to surprise you by booking out the entire venue and even went to the south of the city to pick up your cake. What are you doing? No wonder your parents don't like you!"

That time, the two of them had a long cold war.

It wasn't until Jiang Zhuo's friend called her and told her that Jiang Zhuo had an accident while racing.

Ruan Yang was so frightened that she almost fainted. She skipped a professional exam and rushed to the racetrack.

Right there on the training field, Jiang Zhuo collapsed in a pool of blood.

Ruan Yang cried until her eyes were red, begging Jiang Zhuo not to die, saying she would never make him angry again.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhuo chuckled.

"Idiot, so easily fooled, aren't you stupid?"

Ruan Yang, with tears still clinging to her eyelashes, was bewildered.

Jiang Zhuo, who was "seriously injured," nimbly jumped off the race car and raised his chin at his brothers around him.

"What did I say? She actually believed me! A bet's a bet, so you guys are paying for my dirty clothes this week!"

……

This moment is just like that moment back then.

Two voices overlapped in my mind.

Ruan Yang's head was buzzing, as if all she could hear were "acting up" and "breaking up forever".

The word she fears most is "acting".

She dared not do it.

In the original story, she brought about her own demise.

The sunlight shone on her, and she felt as if she were being scorched by the African sun.

Ruan Yang's expression changed, and the chick nodded as it pecked at rice.

"Okay, okay, let's break up!"
