In the bustling Eksdale Street, a shop was having its grand opening. The store management team had invited a lion dance team to perform a lion dance, and a lot of customers gathered by the entrance.
Since the people in Castron still practiced this lion dance tradition for their store opening ceremony, Veronica stopped to watch. She admired the fantastic performance put up by the lion dance team and felt the happiness she once felt during her childhood.
It seems that I rarely got to see any lion dance performance as I grew up. After all, this tradition is no longer practiced in Destor.
She stood amongst the crowd and watched as a yellow lion stepped on the pillar, shook its head, blinked its big eyes, and then jumped to the high pillar in front of her. Later, it did a backflip and jumped back.
Drums and cymbals accompanied this whole performance, and it won countless applause.
Right at this moment, Veronica spotted a familiar figure in a gooseyellow cardigan appearing at the door of the store.
No! It's not a familiar figure, but a face that I can never forgetlThe face that looks exactly like minellt's—Tiff a ny! Tiff any ?! But isn't she dead?
At once, Veronica felt a chill running down her spine, and she couldn't help shivering. Likewise, her mind went blank with shock.
Just like that, she looked at the person on the opposite side with the lion dance team in between them and met the person's gaze.
The next moment, Veronica turned around, squeezed herself out of the crowd, and chased after Tiffany.
She pushed her way through the crowd, arrived at where she saw Tiffany, and grabbed the woman in the goose yellow cardigan. "Tiffany?"
The woman turned back, and Veronica saw it was an unfamiliar face. The woman scolded her in displeasure, "Who are you? You must have made a mistake! What a weirdo."
When Veronica realized that, her hand grabbing the woman's cardigan stiffened slightly. She instinctively scanned the person from head to toe as she apologized sincerely. "I'm sorry. I’ve got the wrong person."
This person in front of me doesn't resemble
Tiffany even the slightest.It's not her at all.
Veronica's eyes darted around the crowd. Alas, those people were all standing there watching the wonderful lion dance and no one was walking amongst the crowd.
Everything seemed calm in the hustle and bustle.
Although it looked like Tiffany had never appeared, Veronica was sure that she was absolutely right.
Veronica left the crowd and immediately did a quick run around the area. She kept chasing and searching, vet she found that those people on the street were either walking normally, playing, or talking on the phone. She couldn't detect any individuals acting suspiciously.
By the end of it, Veronica stopped in her frantic search as she ruffled her hair in agitation.
Suddenly, someone tapped her on the shoulder. "Veronica?"
The tap frightened her, and she spun around, thinking it was Tiffany.
