Chapter 35

"Zhen, over here!"

Brenda waved happily to Zhen Fan.

"Are you here to find... Brenda?" Jennifer's face turned extremely unnatural.

"Yes, thank you, you are one of the prettiest girls I've ever seen!" Zhen Fan smiled and nodded politely, "Of course, Brenda is too. Are you friends?"

The first half of the sentence made Jennifer excited, but the second half made her heart sink. She knew it was just surface-level flattery, not really meaningful.

"She's over there!" Jennifer said, looking toward Brenda, "Are you Brenda's dance partner?"

"Maybe, but I've never learned to dance at all!"

This made Jennifer happy. Her gaze toward Brenda was not as fierce, and she put on a smile, "Go over quickly, don't let her wait too long!"

"Then... see you later!"

Zhen Fan waved and walked toward Brenda.

"Is this the dance partner you invited? How does he greet that slut?" The black girl looked at Zhen Fan walking over and laughed, coming up to Brenda.

"My name is Molly, Brenda's friend!" The black girl sized up Zhen Fan.

Brenda put her arm around Zhen Fan, her face full of smiles.

"Don't get too excited!" Jennifer thought angrily from a distance.

"This is also my friend, Elisa." Brenda introduced the white girl to Zhen Fan.

"Sure enough, he's a handsome guy! I said Brenda has good taste! Hey, can you dance? Are you a dance master?" Elisa whistled.

Zhen Fan spread his hands, "Actually... I've never danced before. I learned a bit of street dance before, but it's not up to par. Looking at your outfits, tight-fitting clothes? I knew Brenda must have picked the wrong person!"

"I can teach you!"

Brenda looked at Zhen Fan and smiled.

"I can teach you modern dance. You know, some moves require a strong person to lift me, but... in high school, no boy has been able to do that, only you... I believe you can!"

"Okay, if you're not too heavy, I think I can!" Zhen Fan took off his jacket, revealing a tank top with well-defined muscles.

Six-pack abs, no problem! Well-defined chest muscles, no problem! Bulging arm muscles, no problem!

"Wow!" Molly couldn't help but whistle. Even Jennifer and her friends couldn't help but admire, but they secretly cursed: What a lucky bastard, he can randomly pull in a guy who rivals a bodybuilder!

"Can I touch?" A voice suddenly came from Zhen Fan's ear. It was the white girl Elisa, who looked at Zhen Fan with eager anticipation.

"Sure, but no forks and knives!" Zhen Fan smiled wryly.

"Great!"

Elisa didn't wait for Zhen Fan to finish speaking and put her hands on his chest. Even through the tank top, she could feel the hardness and defined contours.

"I'm so jealous, Brenda, you've been hiding such a good thing until now!" Molly also came forward, grabbing Zhen Fan's arms and pressing them down.

"Enough, girls, we need to practice!" Brenda was very satisfied with her friends' envy and Jennifer's jealousy, and she blew a whistle provocatively.

"Girls, can we start?"

"Of course, why not!" Elisa laughed, and Molly let go of Zhen Fan.

The practice was no problem for Brenda and the others. They did a good job with their positioning, but Zhen Fan couldn't blend in at all. It wasn't that he couldn't do the moves Brenda taught him, but he couldn't understand their style of dance.

"Stop! Stop!"

Brenda called a halt again, looking at Zhen Fan with some resentment.

"Practice well, time is running out, and I hope your practice can catch up!" A voice of schadenfreude came from the other side, it was Jennifer's classmate speaking for her.

"Go to hell!" Molly gave them the middle finger.

Laughter came from the other side.

"Hey, handsome, what's your name? Maybe our princess will date you." A white girl called out to Zhen Fan, "Our princess is Jennifer, remember that!"

"Goodbye, princesses!"

Zhen Fan smiled and waved at them.

"Goodbye, don't forget your name!"

"Fan Zhen!" Zhen Fan said loudly.

The girls were satisfied and laughed, then left the practice room in groups. Zhen Fan turned around and saw Brenda's sullen face.

"They are my competitors!" Brenda gritted her teeth.

"Oh, I thought you were all on the same team, but... " Zhen Fan felt a bit embarrassed, realizing he had been too enthusiastic earlier.

"Okay, no more of that!"

"You decide, princess!" Zhen Fan made an elegant invitation gesture, grabbed Brenda's hand, and lifted her up again.

Brenda really looked like a princess, high above, stretching her body and moving in a dance pose. When she was put down, she spun, and her long legs wrapped around Zhen Fan's waist, her whole body leaning down, her hair cascading like a waterfall.

"Perfect!"

Elisa and Molly clapped!

"But our coordination..." Brenda was troubled, "We only have four days left!"

"Uh, what exactly do you need? What do you want to show with your modern dance?" Zhen Fan asked.

"Of course, it's the dance moves. We want to use the best dance moves to win over the judges!"

Molly spoke first.

"Do you think so too?"

Elisa and Brenda also nodded.

"You perform modern dance, which is free, smooth, and expressive, but where is your personality and style? Don't tell me you just want to show dance moves." Zhen Fan shook his head, "I'm sure your dance teacher has taught you. By the way, have you seen 'Step Up' or 'Street Dance'?"

"Of course!" Brenda answered without hesitation, "Do you want us to dance like in those movies? A combination of modern dance and street dance? Or modern dance and ballet, even Latin dance?"

"This... this is too crazy!"

Molly opened her mouth and managed to say a word.

"I like it!" The introverted Elisa actually agreed, her face beaming with excitement, "Brenda, why not give it a try?"

"Don't be silly, those are movies!"

"But aren't they movies that everyone likes? People love such dances!" Zhen Fan continued to persuade.

"But... they have many outstanding choreographers to arrange the dances for the movies, making them blend well. Can we do it?"

Brenda raised her biggest concern.

"It depends on you. If you're determined, you can do it!"

Zhen Fan was no longer in a hurry. He found a place to sit and gave Brenda space to think. Clearly, it was difficult for her to abandon the dance she had practiced many times and start over. But no matter how you looked at it, following the original plan, she was likely to lose to Jennifer.

"I believe in you!" Elisa sat next to Zhen Fan and occasionally glanced at him, "You're called Fan Zhen, are you Chinese?"

"Yes, I've been in America for not long!"

"Oh, what do you do?" Elisa continued to make conversation.

"Um, I'll get my medical license next week and open a private clinic!"

"Doctor? I like doctors!"

This was a bit too direct. Who would just randomly like doctors? Elisa moved closer.

"Can I come to your clinic? I've had a bit of chest pain, I don't know why. How about... you check it out?" Elisa said, pushing her chest toward Zhen Fan.

"Cut it out, Elisa, don't use your tricks on little kids!" Molly, annoyed by Elisa's behavior, pulled her aside to practice dance moves.

Brenda slowly looked at Zhen Fan, her eyes full of questions. She had many issues to resolve, such as the choreography and the personality and style Zhen Fan mentioned.

"I can't decide yet, how about tomorrow?" Brenda looked at Zhen Fan expectantly. She needed time to weigh the pros and cons.

"Okay, I understand. It's a tough decision, and making a hasty decision isn't good!" Zhen Fan nodded and stood up.

"That's it for today, girls, let's call it a day!"

Brenda gave orders like a leader, and Molly and Elisa came over.

"Have you decided?"

"No, let's talk tomorrow. That's it for today!"

"Okay, but I believe in Zhen!" Elisa looked at Zhen Fan with a smile.

"Goodbye, Elisa!"

Brenda urged her to leave.

"Do you really believe in Zhen? It seems you have a lot of confidence in him. Where does it come from?" Molly and Elisa walked to the door, and Molly looked at Elisa in surprise, "You rarely say good things about people! Don't think I don't know!"

"Because he's handsome, you know. I'm not interested in the pretty boys at school; they're all too girly. Finally, there's a strong one, but he's like a bull. I like Zhen, very much!"

"Go to hell, you like more than just Zhen!" Molly sneered.

"So what? If I can seduce Zhen before Brenda, what do you think will happen?" Elisa laughed, as if discussing something very interesting.

"I think she'll kill you!"

"Okay, I hope Zhen kills me in bed first and doesn't leave the chance to Brenda! Hehe!"
