My Beloved Volume Chapter 136 Monsterous Dancers

Han Luo shrugged. “Maybe he is, maybe he is not. He apologized to me and I forgave him. He is a good dancing partner. I have no complaints about that particular matter. He is a good person too. Despite our animosity, he helped me.” She was grateful to him and there was no doubt about that.

“I know he helped you. Are you sure he has no other plans in his mind?” Noah was wary of Jared. Just a few days ago the said boy couldn’t stand Han Luo and he wanted to become Han Luo’s friend, suddenly after becoming his dancing partner. Jared’s sudden transformation made him doubtful. Noah didn’t want anything or anyone harmful near Han Luo.

“What could that be? I’ll break his bones if he dares to do anything.” Han Luo added, “The only thing that can happen is he fell for my charm. I’m so pretty and so many boys liked me. It must be my beauty that tamed him.” She boosted.

Noah’s lips twitched. “Don’t gross me. Who will fall for a flat board?” He pointed a finger at her chest.

Han Luo cupped her developing area and tried to size them. Then, she glared at Noah. She was so mad at him. “How can you say that? I’m only twelve years old. I need time to develop my body. And, I’m sure with time I will grow into a beautiful lady.” She has confidence that she will be more beautiful in the future.

Noah argued back, “Yeah, yeah, the girls around you have C cup, D cup, and you have nothing. How can you boost your beauty when you lack so much?” He criticized her mercilessly without holding back.

Han Luo was so mad at him that she was ready to pounce on him and eat him alive but stopped by Ma Rui who called her out.

Han Luo gave him a hard look as if saying that she was declaring war. Afterward, she quickly composed herself and headed towards Ma Rui and others.

Han Luo, Mo Yuan, and Jared went back to their hotel around midnight. They dragged their tired bodies to their beds and the moment their heads hit the soft pillows, they went to the dreamland.

The next day, Han Luo went to the dance practice area as usual. This time around, she was introduced to a new choreographer. The new choreographer was a blonde beauty named Alice who was of the quiet type and only talked when it’s necessary.

Alice asked, “Since it is the semifinal, it’s a very crucial moment. It’s the last chance to amaze the judges and the audiences with your performance. This performance will decide whether you are capable of becoming the champion or not. Do you have any particular in your mind?”

Han Luo immediately answered, “Yes, I do have something in my mind. I have been thinking about it for a long time and I won’t change my mind about it.”

Alice silently observed the young girl brimming with energy and confidence. She probed, “Are you going to perform ballet dance?”

Han Luo replied confidently, “Yes, that’s what I’m planning. I’ve been practicing ballet since I was a child and I have a perfect body shape for a ballet dancer too. If I ever become a professional dancer, I want to be a professional ballet dancer.”

“What do you mean by ‘if’? Don’t you want to become a professional dancer?” Alice wondered loudly. She thought since she is working so hard and talented as well, it will be a waste if she didn’t pursue the said career.

Han Luo replied eagerly, “Of course I do! I’m just saying because we don’t know what the future holds for us.” She didn’t mention that one day she might have to take over the Han Corporation.

Alice didn’t probe any further. She said, “The rules for the semi-final had been changed. The new director decided that only the top ten participants from the previous round would go to the semi-final, while it would be top five from semi-final’s to reach finals. You are now fifth in rankings. So, you have to work hard and think smartly before you plan your next step.”

After deliberating a moment, she continued, “The best part in the semifinal is, you won’t be dancing a solo. It’s going to be grand, along with the side dancers. Therefore, you will have at least ten dancers to perform with you which can be considered as a plus point. Everything will depend on the overall performance. As such, you need to choose something majestic that will catch everyone’s attention.”

‘I’m sure that other choreographers are also conveying the same to their participants,’ Han Luo thought. She decided, “It will be grand if we get the proper costume and good dancers. I need fourteen dancers.”

“That can be arranged.” Alice agreed readily. “So, what’s your plan for the semifinal?” she probed further.

Han Luo smirked to herself.

———–

One the day of the semifinal, the participants were nervous while preparing for the said battle. Han Luo, Jared, and Zenna were in the same room and a few makeup artists are working on them to complete their final look for the day.

During the last ten days, they didn’t have enough time to talk to each other except when they ate. They had been practicing continuously day and night. Since Han Luo and Jared were practicing the ballet, they practiced till their shoes were broken and they continuously changed into new shoes. Both of them were wearing their fifth pair of ballet shoes today. Other dancers started calling them monsters for ‘killing’ poor shoes mercilessly over the week.

As they were getting ready to perform, Han Luo tried to crack a joke to ease the tense and nervous feelings. “If I pass the semifinal, I’m going to sleep for two days and eat macaroons.”

Jared added, “If I pass, I’m going to watch movies on Netflix.”

“I think I will visit the Louvre Museum and the Palace of Versailles,” Zenna said.
