I took my position in the hallway outside the balcony. My hands trembled slightly. My heart pounded, both as Tang Xiyu and as Lin Ruo.
As the camera moved, I started walking, my steps slow and hesitant. A shy smile played on my lips. "I'm going to confess today…" I murmured softly, my cheeks flushing. "I'm finally going to tell him everything… all my feelings…"
My hands curled around the fabric of my dress as I neared the balcony. But just as I was about to pass, something caught my eye. A couple was standing there, kissing passionately.
At first, I flushed, instinctively turning my gaze away, but then I frowned. "Why does that person feel familiar?"
I turned, staring at the kissing couple, and then suddenly my eyes widened. My breath hitched. My hands flew up to cover my mouth as a silent gasp tore out from my chest. My eyes widened, glassy with disbelief.
A second passed.
Two.
Then my body moved on instinct.
I turned away and ran.
