Way Back Into Love (Essie)

Chapter 74 Who Is The First

Haha, maybe Sunny was being controlled by aliens, after all.

Didn't NASA just take a picture of some beautiful creature from Mars?

That indicated the existence of life on Mars. Maybe yesterday when Essie was making a wish, Martians

just happened to pass by in their space ships and helped fulfill her wish en route.

Haha, maybe she did save the whole galaxy in her past life that even aliens had come to help her out.

These hilarious thoughts swirled in her mind, but she finally decided to just let it go. She didn't care too

much about the process or the reason—as long she obtained her desired result, then nothing else

mattered. Seeing Sunny dancing to Little Apple was such a joy for her.

Essie's bright smile was reflected in Zac's dark eyes, which were alight with mirth.

He liked seeing Essie smile. Her beautiful eyes were slightly narrowed and shaped like crescent

moons. Two dimples peeked charmingly in her peach-like cheeks. The overall effect was extremely

adorable.

Thus, he swore to do anything within his power to keep her smiling.

As the music stopped, Sunny jumped down the stairs quickly like a panic-stricken rabbit fleeing for fear

of being recognized. Seeing that, Essie quickly moved to catch up to her.

"Sunny!" she shouted from behind the retreating woman.

The figure in front of her suddenly stopped, as if a pause button in a remote control dictating her

actions was pressed.

"Shut up! Don't call my name!" She was all but screaming for fear of being heard.

Essie approached the immobile woman. "I thought you had gone to France." A mocking smile crossed

her face.

"It's too early to be complacent. You may have won this round, but that's never going to happen again!"

Sunny gritted her teeth and swore to herself that the day Essie would lose would be her dying day. By

then, all grudges, old and new ones, would be gone.

Essie scoffed at her. She knew that war continued between them. There were plenty of chances for

them to fight in the future, but the outcome would rely on nothing but abilities.

On their way back, Essie seemed to be in a good mood. The urge to dance suddenly hit her.

"Ice guy, can you dance?"

"Why? You want me to dance with you?" Zac retorted with a smile as bright as fireworks blooming in

the night sky, outshining the light from the moon, the stars and the lamp posts.

"I want to dance. I need a partner. Do you want to dance with me?" Her thick eyelashes fluttered

playfully at him.

"I'll consider it," he replied, jokingly not agreeing to what she wanted. He sardonically raised one

eyebrow.

In the rooftop garden...

The moon shone brightly.

The night breeze blew softly, and the rich scent of gardenia blossoms permeated the air.

Essie started a tango, a dance she had previously learned for Hanson. He was known as the dance

king in Donghua University for four years. Thus, Essie did her best to become the university's dance

queen who was worthy of dancing with him at the Yuletide Ball.

Tango was said to be a secret dance between lovers. In other types of dance, the dancers remained

smiling all throughout. In tango, the dancers' faces were serious and intense, like the partners were NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

attempting not to have their feelings laid bare for the others to see.

At that moment, the expression on either dancer's face was hard to read. Perhaps they themselves

were not aware of what they were hiding. One dance sequence ended with Essie's slim figure wrapped

around Zac's tall, strong body, their eyes locked into each other. After a short stare, Essie quickly

turned her head and avoided eye contact, as if she was afraid that the other person would read a

secret revealed in her eyes.

However, one thing was undeniable: the two of them were the perfect partners. Without a single glance

or word, they knew what their partner was thinking and moved accordingly, as if the other was an

extension of their soul.

Even as the first song came to an end, Essie still did not want to stop. She skipped several songs and

switched to different genres, from waltz to hip-hop and anything in between. Zac proved himself to be

up to the challenge.

"Ice guy, I had no idea you could dance so well!" There was a hint of surprise in her sweet smile.

"You are not bad, yourself," he replied in neutral tone. However, his perfect lips were curved in a

teasing smile, and Essie suddenly found the stars and the moon fading in comparison.

"You're only the second partner that I've ever been satisfied with,' Essie remarked, gracefully twirling

with a lightness reminiscent of butterflies flitting among flowers.

There was a slight frown between Zac's elegant eyebrows, indicating his annoyance at not being

named the first. "Who's the first, then? Hanson?"
