Chapter 315 - 317: The Dancing Woman
The moment she heard those words, the girl’s eyes widened in disbelief.
’My own best friend???’
[This poor girl, what a tragedy. Her own boyfriend and best friend are about to get married, and she had no idea!]
[Looking at her clueless expression, I want to laugh, but I also feel bad!]
She was stunned. She only had one best friend, and that friend was known for being gentle and good-tempered.
’How could she be marrying my ex???’
Before you know the truth about something, everything seems perfectly normal. But once she knew, looking back, she started to notice the telltale signs.
The girl’s face paled, and she spoke with difficulty. "She’s my best friend. I was the one who mentored her at the company, who helped her get where she is. How could she..."
Su Nian nodded. "Don’t you worry. She won’t get away with being the other woman. Soon, that guy is going to be diagnosed with cancer. And she... well, she’s already legally married to him. Just sit back and watch the show. Focus on living your own life."
Su Nian knew that the scumbag and the bitch would live a miserable life later on and would even end up harassing this girl.
Thinking of this, she added another reminder, "Oh, right. You should move out of your place, quickly. That’ll keep that scumbag from pestering you."
"Ah, right, right, right!!"
The girl was a sharp one. As soon as Su Nian gave her that warning, she understood immediately.
[Damn, what a disgusting pair. Her boyfriend gets with her best friend, and they’re still going to harass her later?]
[Her boyfriend’s luck is really something else. He faked having cancer to get away from this girl, and now he’s actually getting cancer for real.]
[All I can say is, it serves them right. The other woman married him, but she had no idea her new husband was about to get cancer and die. She’s the perfect person to take on that burden!]
[This just goes to show you shouldn’t do bad things. See? Karma’s a bitch, isn’t it?]
[If he had just stayed with this girl, she seems like a good catch. Even if he got cancer, she probably would have taken good care of him.]
[But no, he had to secretly marry the other woman. Let’s see how he manages to live now.]
"Okay, okay, thank you, Host. I understand now!"
The girl started packing her things as she spoke.
According to Su Nian, the man’s cancer would manifest soon, so she obviously had to get away as fast as possible.
What if he managed to track her down and start pestering her? They had been together for eleven years, after all. They knew a lot about each other.
Right now, she was just thankful that he had never wanted to marry her and had always refused to visit her family home.
Now, as long as she left the city, that unlucky bastard wouldn’t be able to find her even if he tried.
Plus, the master had said her next relationship would be better. Her attachment to this city instantly plummeted.
She immediately went back to packing her things.
"Okay, okay, Host, I get it. Thank you. I’m going to log off now to pack and make my escape!"
With that, she disconnected from the stream.
Su Nian was about to help the third fan in the queue, as promised.
But a comment that was being spammed over and over caught Su Nian’s attention.
[I’m seeing someone dancing outside at night. It’s so weird. Host, can you take a look for me?]
The user had spammed it several times before Su Nian noticed. Su Nian directly connected with her and asked.
"Is the person still dancing now?"
Just reading those few sentences, Su Nian felt a chill. It was already midnight, after all.
’Who would be out dancing at midnight?’
So she asked the girl directly—the one with the username Together Forever.
"Together Forever, hi. Is that person still dancing right now?"
"Yes, yes, Host! I think this whole situation is a little creepy. Can you help me take a look?"
The girl seemed very anxious, but her fingers flew across the keyboard as she quickly typed and sent a few more messages.
Su Nian asked bluntly, "Can you do a video call?"
"Yes, yes!"
Su Nian sent the video call invitation.
A moment later, a very dark scene appeared on her screen.
It seemed to be beside a road, flanked by neatly trimmed trees and buildings with their lights out.
Everything was completely silent.
Except for a beautiful girl standing in the very middle of the road.
She was dancing gracefully under the moonlight. Her movements were elegant and beautiful, yet they held a hint of stiffness.
Always By Your Side explained, "I don’t mean to cause trouble, but I just think this is really, really strange! I’m a nurse, and I’ve seen a lot of dead bodies. I just have this feeling that she’s so stiff... like a corpse!"
[Can you not just spout nonsense? What if she just has some mental health issues?]
[But I think she looks really stiff too...]
Always By Your Side continued to explain in a hushed voice, "I’m a nurse. I just got off the night shift and was heading home. I didn’t want to splurge on a taxi, and the hospital is pretty close to my house, so I decided to walk. But now I’ve seen this, and I’m so scared!"
Su Nian frowned. She could see that something was indeed wrong with this person, but what exactly was it?
The live chat, however, was already buzzing with theories.
[She’s so stiff... why do I keep thinking of a jiangshi?]
[Nonsense, what kind of jiangshi can dance like that? Look at her flexibility! No jiangshi can move like that.]
[You really think a jiangshi is intelligent?]
[I just feel like it’s so weird!]
[Sigh, I think you guys are just overthinking it. What if it’s just a pretty girl dancing!]
[Yeah, look how graceful she is. I’m sure she’s just a beautiful young woman.]
The figure up ahead danced more and more joyfully, even starting to spin. She kicked her leg high, very high.
It was then that Su Nian saw a street sign near the figure and suddenly realized she’d seen it before.
Su Nian was still in her car, not having gone home yet. She asked directly, "Where are you right now?"
"I’m at the intersection down the road from Third Hospital! I’m so scared!"
"It’s okay. I’m coming to see what’s going on."
After experiencing several supernatural incidents in one night, Su Nian was in no mood to sleep.
She couldn’t tell what the thing was through the video. The feed was too blurry, and she couldn’t sense its aura.
The only thing she could be sure of was that something was definitely wrong with it.
Its posture was too stiff. It gave her the feeling that it had been dead for several days, its joints already losing their flexibility.
But just by watching through a screen, she couldn’t determine what it really was.
Since it wasn’t far, Su Nian decided to drive over herself. Before setting off, however, she gave a specific warning, "Stay far away from her. Something isn’t right."
At Su Nian’s words, the girl instantly scrambled back several more meters.
"I’m too scared! I think I’ll go back to the hospital and wait for you there!"
"That works. I’ll come to the hospital to pick you up!"
Su Nian sped off, and her car soon arrived at Third Hospital, where she picked up the girl.
They then rushed to the location from the video.
The girl said, trembling, "That thing is so weird. I don’t think it’s human. I’m a nurse, I’ve seen a lot of dead people, and I keep feeling like it’s been dead for a while!"
Su Nian nodded. "It’s okay. I’ll protect you."
When they arrived, the figure seemed to have vanished.
Su Nian frowned, got out of the car, and scanned the area. But just then...
A deathly pale hand quietly came to rest on her shoulder.
"Were you the one peeking at me while I danced?"
