My Beloved

The students also liked this idea. If the international competition were to decide everything, there would no longer be any tensions between Jared and Han Luo.

Han Luo left the class first, since she had to change her dancing clothes. Tang Yujin also left with her. He took her hand and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

"I\'m fine. Thank you for stepping up for me." Han Luo smiled at him.

Tang Yujin said, "That\'s what I should do naturally... but the competition…"

"It\'s all right, I would love to participate." Han Luo always wanted to visit another country and participate in a foreign country. She got her chance and there was no reason for her to miss it.

"Little Luo Luo!" Han Sheng Ming ran through the corridor and caught up to them. He ran for so long that he was now panting heavily. "I… *pant* I heard that you were being challenged by somebody. What happened? Who is this piece of trash?"

Han Luo corrected him, "I wasn\'t challenged – I challenged that guy. He was disrespecting my parents and the three of you. I didn\'t like it."

Han Sheng Ming had gone mad. "What the hell? Which son of a b***h disrespected you?"

"Language," Tang Yujin warned him. "The student is from Year 9, Set 3. His name is Jared."

Han Sheng Ming frowned. "Jared who? I\'ve never heard of him."

Tang Yujin sighed. It wasn\'t a wonder that Han Sheng Ming never heard of him. He had no interest in dance and never talked to the people who had never talked to him. He replied, "He is the best dancer in this school."

Han Sheng Ming frowned. "What best dancer in the school? Didn\'t you see his trashy moves? Is he trying to ruin the name of our school? How can a trash dancer become a good dancer?"

He just used the word \'trash\' three times in one minute.

Since he decided that Jared was the worst person in the world because he hurt Han Luo, to him – no matter how good Jared was in other aspects – he would never think of him that way. To him, Jared was already marked as the worst guy in the world.

In his eyes, Han Luo was the most angelic being in the world; anyone who harmed her was the enemy of heaven.

"I heard and saw what happened." Mo Yuan finally made his appearance. He was calmer than Han Sheng Ming. He gently gazed at Han Luo and stroked her head. "You did well."

Han Luo wasn\'t satisfied with the result, but she was happy that Mo Yuan praised her. She didn\'t show it in her expression. "But big brother Yuan, I wanted to win. That guy is a racist!"

"Don\'t worry, you will beat him in the competition," Tang Yujin assured her.

"Competition? What competition?" Han Sheng Ming was confused.

Tang Yujin told him the details, which made Han Sheng Ming was overjoyed. "Oh yes! Little Luo Luo, I\'ve faith in you. You can do it." He was completely fired up.

Mo Yuan spoke, "That competition – it\'s not only a dancing competition. It\'s a festival. I\'ve already submitted my name for the music competition today after class."

Han Luo almost jumped in excitement. "That\'s awesome! We will be going to Paris together then!"

"Huh? Why will you two go there together? I won\'t allow that. I will also come with you too!" Han Sheng Ming would never allow Han Luo to go with Mo Yuan. To him, Mo Yuan was okay as a friend but not as his cute little sister\'s escort.

"You can\'t go. We have class," Tang Yujin interjected. Though he wished to attend Han Luo\'s and Mo Yuan\'s competitions and cheer for them, his hands were tied – he had his duties.

"!!!" Han Sheng Ming opened his mouth wide to say something, but he couldn\'t find anything to say.

Han Luo came forward and hugged his left arm. "It\'s okay, big brother Ming. I will be all right with big brother Yuan. He will protect me."

Mo Yuan smiled, satisfied with her reply. "Yes, I will protect you."

"See? I told you." Han Luo appeased her big brother Ming.

As if Han Sheng Ming would be relaxed because they said so.

Ma Rui seemed very excited that Han Luo would participate in the dancing competition. "This is great! You will be able to visit Paris. I\'m so proud of you Luo\'er!" She couldn\'t contain her excitement. \'Paris… hohoho… romantic city…\' She already started to make plans.

"Mom, you have to sign the guardian\'s approval form." Han Luo waved the form in front of Ma Rui. Han Changhong permitted Ma Rui to become her legal guardian – that\'s why Ma Rui could take care of Han Luo without a hitch.

"Fine, I will sign it. Xiao Yuan, give me your form as well." Ma Rui signed the forms and smiled. "Last time you had become sick, you still became the runner-up. This time, you cannot become sick. You have to take great care of yourself."

Mo Yuan took his form and gave the other one to Han Luo. He asked, "Why was Ah Luo sick?"

Ma Rui\'s mouth twisted. "That evil cousin of hers pushed her into the lake during winter. Luo\'er had to stay in the hospital for a week before the grand finale. I so wanted to kill that we-" noticing that she was going to swear in front of two children, she quickly stopped. "Fortunately, they are not here. We will be at ease. I\'ll apply for Luo\'er\'s visa and take care of the rest. You two practice dancing and playing the piano."

She took Han Luo\'s hands and said, "Luo\'er, do you need a dance instructor? If you want, I can hire a ballet teacher for you."

Han Luo smiled. "Thanks mom, but I don\'t think it\'s necessary. If I need help, I can always ask my dancing teachers. They are also a professional dance teacher."

"I think Benjamin can help you. He is a professional dancer," Mo Yuan suggested
