Light glanced at the clumsy girl beside him who almost slipped in the floor. Luckily, Light caught her with his arms. If he wasn't able to catch Blue, he's sure that the girl will cry in pain when her butt will unintentionally meet the cold ground.
Light is holding Blue's waist tightly and the crowd cheered for them.
Are they in a cliché drama?
Light turned his head to meet Blue's eyes when Blue still didn't dare to move. A faint blush in Blue's cheeks didn't escape Light's eyes.
When Blue realized the she's still held by the shameless man, Light Lim, she immediately stood up by herself and maintained her balance, while Light who was holding her a while ago willingly let go of her.
"Hey, the two of you still needs to dance!" The emcee reminded the two and they faced each other.
Blue sighed. What a very handsome face! If only he wasn't shameless, and if only Blue didn't dedicate herself to Henry, a famous superstar in her country, she would certainly have a crush on this Light Lim.
Blue flinched when Light's hands held her slender waist lightly. She moved a little bit to shake his hands off but Light didn't even flinch a bit.
Argh, she's ticklish in that part of her body, okay?
Blue had no choice but to put her hands over Light's broad shoulders and they started to dance slowly. They just swayed lightly, matching the melody of the song that is playing, which is 'So Close' by John Mclaughlin.
When the song ended, Blue immediately left the garden and went straight to their house. She has no energy to participate with everyone in the venue so she just decided to change into comfortable clothes and she shall take a rest.
Blue went downstairs after she changed and sat comfortably in the couch. She turned on her phone and clicked on chick icon, the icon of the Hello app.
She was about to click on the group chat where she, Pepper, and Alena are the only members, when she noticed a message from one of her most hated people in the world,
It's a message from her editor, Brian.
Editor Brian: 「Hey, when are you going to pass your manuscript? I heard that you're in a vacation. You should write well when you come back :D You must've gained a lot of inspiration in that place.」
Blue sighed and started to type a message.
Sorrow Blossom Qin: I only went to the hotel and our house :D Where could I find inspiration in here? At the toilet?
Editor Brian: The deadline of the submission of manuscripts is in three weeks ;D
Sorrow Blossom Qin: The last chapter I had written before I left the city was the eighth chapter...
Editor Brian: Hehe, that's not my problem :D Good luck, and don't drag the submission of your manuscript. You'll need to deal with me.
Sorrow Blossom Qin: :)
Editor Brian: Right, isn't Pepper Mint your close friend? She had already passed her manuscript last week. She should be your role model.
Ah~ Editor Brian is blinded by Pepper Mint's punctuality! Of course she'll be punctual and show off in every chance she has because she likes Editor Brian!
Sorrow Blossom Qin: I'm taking a leave for the entire week. Expect my manuscript to be in your hands next week.
Editor Brian: Noted~
Blue closed the app and turned off her phone. She went straight to her room and packed her things up. She'll fly back to X City tomorrow. She needs to do what is needed to be done.
After she finished packing up, she went downstairs to look for her dad and she saw him sitting in the living room.
"Papa," Blue called. Mr. Qin turned his head to Blue's direction.
"What's the matter?" Mr. Qin asked. Blue ran towards the couch where Mr. Qin is sitting and she sat comfortably beside him.
"Papa, I need to fly back to X City tomorrow. The deadline of the manuscript submission is in two weeks." Blue sighed. "You know, I can't write in any other places. Only at my home in X City."
Mr. Qin pulled Blue for a hug. He patted his little girl's back.
"It's alright. I understand. Just come back here whenever you have time."
"Papa, just come with me. My house in X City is located in the subdivision at the center of the city. You won't have problems when you need to buy these and those. My house may not be as big as this house but it's quite spacious and it's comfortable to live in." Blue tried to persuade her dad to go to X City with her.
Mr. Qin laughed for a while, "I'll only visit X City when you need to introduce me to my son-in-law."
Blue pouted her small lips and hugged her dad silently.
"I will surely miss you, Papa."
"I'll surely miss you, too. Stand up and go to your room. What time is your flight tomorrow?" Mr. Qin released Blue from his embrace.
"I still haven't booked a flight, but I'll take the earliest one tomorrow." Mr. Qin simply nodded in response.
Blue stood up and went to her room. She unlocked her phone and purchased a plane ticket for a 7:45AM flight to X City.
When the arrangements were done, Blue closed her eyes and she quietly dozed off.
BLUE smiled when she stepped out of the X City International Airport. It feels good to be home. Everything feels familiar. The polluted air, and the noisy honk of the cars. This is the cons of living in a city. It's too chaotic.
The cab that Blue had booked in advance stopped in front of her. She checked the plate number and entered the car. She sat on the passenger seat.
They arrived at Blue's residence in no time. Blue payed for the fare and entered her home that she hadn't seen for days.
When the familiar fragrance of the house lingered in Blue's nose, she suddenly had the urge to write, so she changed into comfortable clothes and turned on her laptop to start writing.
She suddenly remembered that she can't update her story in Words by You for a while so she posted a message and notified all of her followers.
SakuraKiss: I won't be updating my story for about... two weeks, I guess? I need to submit my manuscript >3< For those who understand, thank you.
Blue's notifications flooded because of her readers' replies in her post.
Kanajidesu: What the heck? I want to cry. The latest update ended with a cliffhanger. Damn.
HelloPotato: So, I'll be imagining what would happen in the next chapter for about... two weeks.
CheesyMilkyDoughnut: These people... Who doesn't end their chapters with a cliffhanger?
SakurasKissesGroupLeader: Guys, let's just look on the brighter side. SakuraKiss is going to pass a manuscript... Meaning that she's going to publish a book, that's probably not posted here on this platform because she didn't announce anything. So, we have a book to read while we're waiting for her update.
Blue smiled as she read through the comments, but her smile crooked when someone shared her post with a caption.
