Chereads / Return of the Dragon Queen / Chapter 4 - Neon Lights

Chapter 4 - Neon Lights

Neon Lights was held at the beach, vibrantly decorated with LED lights. Food trucks offered a wide variety of options, while DJs and live bands performed on stage, creating an electrifying atmosphere.

Liam and his group danced, drank, and ate until they were too drained to stand. They collapsed into an open tent near the seawater, chatting nonsensically.

Suddenly, a cool wind blew some sand particles into Lily's eyes. She tried to rub them out, but it only made things worse, causing her eyes to water from the discomfort. The others tried to help by blowing on her eyes, but it didn't work. They thought of using water to wash the sand out, but there was none in the tent. Liam grabbed an empty bottle and hurried to the water dispenser nearby.

He filled the bottle quickly and rushed back to the tent. In his haste, he didn't notice someone walking in front of him and bumped into them, causing his water bottle and the other person's phone to fall. Since the cap of the bottle wasn't screwed on properly, water spilled all over the phone.

"NO!" "FU*K!" they exclaimed simultaneously, glaring at each other in frustration.

The girl who bumped into Liam picked up her phone, frantically trying to restart it. "God, no, no, no... Please start..." she muttered. She then turned to Liam, scolding him for the mess. Liam, however, just stared at her, dazed.

He was lost, drowning in her deep blue eyes, which reminded him of someone he had lost a long time ago. Her eyes were mysterious and captivating, bringing back memories he had buried deep in his mind and heart.

Seeing Liam's vacant expression, the girl waved her hand in front of his face, calling, "Hello, mister!" But he didn't respond. Frustrated, she stomped her foot and walked away.
