The next day, Lan You and An Yuexi agreed to go to the bathroom together after class. On the way, An Yuexi asked, "Lan You, after the weekend, it's time for you and Lin Yan to show down the winner. Are you ready?"

Lan You was stunned for a moment before he remembered what she was talking about. He said calmly, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten it."

An Yuexi stared at her in astonishment. "You actually forgot? Are you so sure? Although your dance does look quite good to me, an outsider, you can't be completely unprepared. Lin Yan will definitely take advantage of these few days to practice hard."

"You are right. I am sure to win. As for Lin Yan, does she want to beat me? Impossible." Lan You said domineeringly.

Even if her opponent is Chu Xinrou, she is not afraid at all.

She has been learning to dance in this body since she was a child.

An Yuexi looked at her in a daze, as if she was so confident. Her classmates all called her a country girl, and she never objected. However, learning to dance was a big burden for an ordinary family, and it might even be considered useless. So why was she such a good dancer?

"Lan You, your...family members don't object to you...learning to dance?" An Yuexi asked doubtfully.

"Of course I don't object."

After he finished speaking, Lan You noticed that An Yuexi's mood was not right, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

An Yuexi hesitated for a moment and said, "I couldn't hold it in anymore when I got home last night, so I told my parents about my desire to learn dancing. They didn't quite understand. Isn't high school all about academics? They also said I was too old to learn dancing. Although they didn't explicitly say I couldn't dance, I understood what they meant. They clearly didn't want me to learn."

She didn't even finish her meal, and in a fit of anger she threw the dishes and went back to her room.

But after the whole family returned to their rooms, she got up to go to the bathroom and accidentally passed by her parents' room. When she heard their conversation, she realized how ignorant she was. Her and her brother's tuition was already a considerable expense. She didn't think about reducing the burden on her family, so why was she still so willful?

"Why do you want to learn dancing so much? Is it because of their ridicule?" Lan You pointed out incisively.

"I...I don't want to see everyone's disdainful eyes on me anymore. I don't want to be looked down upon." An Yuexi said what she had suppressed for a long time, and her heart suddenly felt a little relieved.

"Yuexi, I understand your feelings very well, but have you ever thought about how much you need to learn before they stop looking down on you?"

An Yuexi looked confused, "I...I don't know."

Lan You said seriously, "I'll tell you the answer. Even if you dance better than Chu Xinrou, they will still look down on you. And you'll have to pay a heavy price, you know? Not only will you waste money, but you'll also waste time. You might even be putting the cart before the horse. You'll learn to dance, but miss the chance to fight for the college entrance exam."

"I won't delay my studies. I will balance dancing and studying." An Yuexi retorted.

"You have to learn to dance now because they disdain you and don't care whether they like it or not. But if you spend two hours a day learning to dance and they still look down on you, will you spend more time? Yuexi, if you want them to look up to you, you must first have enough confidence in yourself. Also, they have been looking at you with tinted glasses. No matter how well you dance or how good your grades are, just like... the class monitor, you will still be looked down upon by them. Why bother about what they think?" Lan You said earnestly.

Class monitor... An Yuexi suddenly remembered that even Mi Tanhua, who had both strength and beauty, had been bullied by them. Mi Tanhua's excellence was second only to Chu Xinrou.

An Yuexi really became dejected. Seeing her unhappy look, Lan You took the initiative to say, "Actually, it's also good to learn to dance after studying. If you don't mind, I can teach you some basic moves. How about it?"

An Yuexi suddenly raised her head, looked at her with bright eyes, and asked excitedly, "Lan You, is it true?"

"real."

"Lan You, thank you, thank you so much." An Yuexi's gratitude was beyond words.

A classmate accidentally heard the conversation between Lan You and An Yuexi and told Lin Yan.

"Lan You hasn't prepared anything, yet he's still so confident?" Lin Yan recalled how she had been dancing all over these past few days in order to win over Lan You, but she had never expected Lan You to be so boastful.

Her good friend Chen Huan came up with a plan, "Lin Yan, just in case, why don't we..."

After hearing this, Lin Yan subconsciously rejected it and said, "Could it be that my dancing skills are not as good as Lan You's? I don't believe it."

Chen Huan suddenly became anxious, "Lin Yan, you have to think carefully, after all, this is in front of the whole class."

Lin Yan was wavering. She originally wanted to defeat Lan You in front of her classmates and laugh at her, but what if Lan You defeated her?

How could Lin Yan have the face to see her classmates?

"Chen Huan, just do as you say."

Mi Tanhua, who happened to be passing by, overheard their conversation and covered her mouth in shock. They were actually going to...

She hurried back to the classroom in a panic, fidgeting and looking at Lan You hesitantly several times.

Even Lan You noticed that something was wrong with her. What happened to the squad leader?

At noon, while Lin Yan and Chen Huan were away, she walked up to Lan You and said hesitantly, "Lan You, can you... cancel the dance competition with Lin Yan next Monday?"

"Squad leader, why?" Lan You looked at her strangely.

She bit her lip. How could she remind her? If she said it directly, if Lin Yan knew about it, she would definitely be in a difficult situation.

"You are all classmates, there is no need to be so hostile." Mi Tanhua tried to persuade her.

Lan You said solemnly, "Class monitor, I can't just say no to this competition, and she doesn't even consider me a classmate, so I'll naturally stick with her until the end."

"Well... then you should be more careful and don't hurt your legs, otherwise you won't be able to compete." Mi Tanhua said hurriedly and left the classroom.

Lan You thought about her last sentence and felt even more puzzled. Sometimes he didn't let her compete, and sometimes he was afraid that she couldn't compete. What on earth was this squad leader thinking?

There were two physical education classes in the afternoon. All the students walked out of the classroom and walked up a long flight of stairs to the playground.

Lan You and An Yuexi walked in front, while Mi Tanhua deliberately walked behind. Although she was afraid of Lin Yan's family background, she could not stand idly by and watch her classmates.

Lin Yan and Chen Huan walked behind the two men. Seeing that there were only a few steps left to the ground, Lin Yan gave Chen Huan a look. Chen Huan stretched out his hand, but just as he was about to do so, Mi Epiphyllum noticed it and shouted in surprise, "Lan You."

Lan You heard the voice and turned around to look at Mi Tanhua who was running over. "Squad leader, what's going on?"

Lin Yan glared at her resentfully. Just as she was about to succeed, Mi Tanhua intervened.

Mi Epiphyllum felt Lin Yan's gaze and said in a panic, "No... nothing happened."
