My Beloved

"Luo is a strong girl to defend another participant from bullies like that."

"She deserves another chance."

The audiences broke out in conversations loudly.

Jared took out a box and gave it to the judges. "This is Luo's shoes. Please check on your own. You will also find several scratch marks made by the knife on the shoes."

"Oh, so my shoes are with them. I was thinking about why I didn't get the shoes. I thought big brother Yuan must have thrown them away." Han Luo thought out loud. Now she realized why Mo Yuan wanted her to be prepared for today. She was overwhelmed with emotions.

The judges checked her shoes and noticed the scratch marks just as Jared said. They even cross-checked the scratch marks on Zenna's shoes to match the scratch marks.

"So, what are you going to say now?" Mo Yuan confronted the gang leader and asked, "Any last word?" His eyes were gleaming coldly as if a reincarnated devil was standing right in front of them, sending shivers through one's spine, which made the leader freeze on the spot. 

The four girls were unable to withstand the pressure, criticism, and pointed fingers. And they kept silent without uttering a single excuse. 

In the end, based on the other participants' complaints followed by the audience's votes and the judge's approval, the four girls had been disqualified and Han Luo was given another chance.

On the stage, Han Luo stated, "Thank you so much my dancing partner Jared, my friend Zenna and big brother Yuan. You were very brave and stood by my side. I also want to thank the wise judges and the kind audiences. Thank you for giving me this second chance. I will cherish this and won't let you regret giving me this chance." She couldn't thank them enough.

One of the judges asked, "We are sorry that you had to go through this. How's your leg?"

Han Luo answered, "It was a minor injury. My bandage was taken off this morning. I'm not feeling any pain now. I can dance."

"Since we have already given you a second chance, will you be able to dance today?"

"Yes. Of course I can," she answered confidently. 

Another judge said, "That's great! We will give you half an hour to prepare then. "

"Thank you so much." Han Luo bowed and left. 

After she left, one of the judges commented, "She is so cute."

"I know what you mean. I feel like taking her home whenever I see her." 

"Maybe we should ask her guardian later if they can give us permission."

"You said it…"

As the judges were bickering within themselves, Han Luo was done with her preparation and came on to the stage. She wore the same costume as did in the last incident. Anyone could tell that she is going to perform a belly dance. 

But this time, it was different music altogether with a different composition. Without any mistake, she danced gracefully in rhythm as her waist moved continuously and her hands and legs moved with perfect synchrony. And, a charming smile was hanging on her lips as she danced effortlessly. 

From the audiences' area, Mo Yuan's face contorted with a dark expression. He was definitely drawn to her charm and cuteness but he didn't like the fact that she was showing her alluring side to others. 

The worst part was, millions of people were watching her all over the globe. Just thinking about how many men's eyes had glued on to her body made his head hurt.

For the last note, Han Luo twirled as beautifully as a butterfly and finally ended her performance with a perfect, graceful pose. On a closer look, one could observe her eyes brimming with confidence and happiness. 

It was a very beautiful performance which resulted in a standing ovation from judges and the audiences. The hall was filled with the deafening sound of applause and cheers. 

A judge asked, "This dance was very different from your last performance and a difficult one at that too. Have you been practicing at home?"

Han Luo answered, "I've been practicing before I twisted my ankle. I always practice two formats of dance before choosing only one for the main performance. At that time, I was having a hard time choosing which one I should perform and I've chosen the easier one. I never thought that the second one would come in handy. I'm glad that I could perform it."

"It was a brilliant performance. We are glad that you came back to us," the judges praised her wholeheartedly.

"Thank you. Thank you so much." Han Luo was very happy that she can once again dance on the stage to her heart's content as she was given a second chance.

At the backstage, she met Jared. He seemed happy to see her. Han Luo stood in front of him and said, "I cannot thank you enough for what you did."

Jared replied, "Just get to the last round. This will be enough."

Han Luo said, "I owe you a lot."

Jared shook his head. "Not really. I haven't done anything. You should thank Yuan. He took the initiative to contact some big shots. Without him, we couldn't get the footage of them bullying others."

"He did…" Han Luo was stunned that Mo Yuan went that far for her. Something warm filled her heart. She suddenly missed him. At this thought she recalled Zenna, she asked, "How's Zenna?"

Jared replied, "She twisted her ankle. Good thing is, it's only her right ankle that was twisted unlike you who had two legs injured. She was sent to her room for a much needed rest. After proving she was a victim of their despicable bullying, I hope, she wouldn't be disqualified."

"I'm glad that she is better. I'll stay out for a while." Han Luo bade him goodbye and headed out. 

Outside the building, Mo Yuan was waiting for her.. Han Luo paused and then smiled brightly at him. She called out, "Big brother Yuan!"
