~3 min read 593 words

"Can you imagine? I am sitting here, those well-known makeup artists and agents surrounding me, oh..." Selina sat in front of the dressing table and let out a sigh. She squinted her eyes, as if fascinated by the fantasy life.

"I don't need to imagine, they will be here soon."

"What?" Selina turned around, looked at him suspiciously, and then saw a large group of people pouring in from the door of the dressing room. Some of them held clothes hangers with colorful dresses hanging on them, and some carried jewelry racks full of gems. They swarmed in and surrounded Selina.

Bruce sat on the sofa on one side of the room, squinting his eyes. He held a cigar in his hand, but did not send it to his mouth, just letting the smoke drift away.

"Hey, wait, what are you doing?" Selina had not reacted when she was lifted from the chair, but soon, she was pushed by the stylist into the changing room.

Bruce leaned on the sofa, looking up at this dressing room. This was the witness place of Hollywood's rise. Countless international movie stars and celebrities had sat here, and the mirror reflected their colorful faces.

Exquisite gorgeous clothes brushed across the soft carpet, and the flashing gems were woven into a brilliant galaxy. The wood here retained the smell of perfume, mixed with the burnt fragrance of cigars, making people sleepy.

That most prosperous and gorgeous era made anyone unknowingly immerse themselves in it, pursuing those extravagant, complex, and beautiful dreams.

Bruce widened his eyes slowly. He saw Selina walking out of the changing room.

It was the first time he saw Selina wearing such gorgeous clothes. It was a long fishtail dress covered with tiny broken diamonds. The light on the top of her head made a colorful river surge on her body. This light made Bruce, who was accustomed to darkness, squint his eyes. Selina touched her earrings, looked at Bruce and said: "Does it look good?"

When Bruce's blue eyes squinted, it always made people feel uneasy. In a cat's intuition, this feeling was even more intense. Selina clearly felt the aggressiveness in Bruce's gaze, which made him look not at all like a playboy, but like a beast.

Bruce stood up and held her hand. Selina put one hand on his waist and said: "... Is this a dream?"

Bruce saw that a trace of confusion was revealed between her brows, carrying a bit of childishness, like a little girl who was puzzled by a simple question.

Life in the slums made people shed all innocence. The days of struggling in food and hardship were carved on the corners of her brows. And the strength and wildness that supported her in the hard days, after being washed away by this trace of childishness, the fragility revealed made Bruce's heart, which had not jumped for many years, jump fiercely.

When Selina raised her eyes, her eyes were brighter than the luster of the gems on her body. She said: "Have you seen that movie?"

"Which one?"

"... I forgot." Selina turned her head away and said: "But there is always such a one. I remember, the male and female protagonists danced on the stage, the female protagonist wore the same dress as me, she was very beautiful..."

"You are too."

"Then will you dance with me?" Selina asked him.

Bruce put his arms around her waist and said: "This question should be asked by me to you, Miss Selina, can you please dance a dance with me?"
