Chapter 30 of Volume 1: Kill the Chicken to Warn the Monkey

  Fang Li will inevitably feel a little lost, and in the aspect of loving others, she is a failure. However, Fang Li also rejoices for Du Ruo, wishing her happiness and finding a shoulder that she had longed for so much.

  Perhaps this is the arrangement of fate, once Du Ruo wanted to take Mo Xiao away from Fang Li's side, but now Mo Xiao is still by Fang Li's side, and the person in Fang Li's heart has become Du Ruo's other half.

  Fang lost to Du Ruo, but she couldn't help losing, only because she fell in love first. I remember Su Xia saying, "If a person can't fall in love with others, they will definitely be immune to all poisons. I'm immune to all poisons now, what about you? I believe that your emotional poison has penetrated deep into your bones and is incurable."

  Before I knew it, I was in my sophomore year, and my studies were getting busier, with many exams to take. But the most exciting thing was the highly anticipated Huixin University Dance Competition for college students across the city. This competition is said to be sponsored by a wealthy businessman and co-hosted by several national universities. The most tempting part is that the first prize winner will receive 200,000 yuan in prize money, as well as an opportunity to further their studies at the Royal Academy of Dance in the UK. Whoever becomes the champion will surely have a bright future ahead of them.

  "But our school is just a broken-down school, how can we possibly qualify for that?"

  "I don't know, never mind, anyway neither of us can dance."

  "Isn't Du Yao from the art department? I heard she's super good at dancing."

  "Yes, recently I've been hearing her say she wants to practice dancing every day, and I've also accompanied her. I don't know how good her dance is, but it's really beautiful anyway."

  "Really? Bring us along one day!"

  "Alright," Since Du Ruo no longer had the idea of hitting Mo Xiao, Su Xia and Meng Xi were not as disgusted with Du Ruo as before. Moreover, Du Ruo was very good at moving others, now the four of them really seemed like friends.

  But Su Xia and Meng Xi still consistently stated that if Du Ruo's treacherous heart is not dead, they will still unite with Fang Li to fight against Mo Xiao.

  Du Ruo smiled and said, "No way, An Junli is very good to me, I'm not willing to leave him." Du Ruo was happily joking around, unaware that An Junli was a sore spot in Fang Li's heart.

  Actually, Du Ruo and An Junli have been together for so long, although they don't always meet, but Du Ruo doesn't know when he started to really regard him as his own boyfriend. However, Du Ruo told himself that he couldn't fall in love, he still had many more important things waiting to be done.

  Du Ruo danced beautifully, both Latin and ballet were outstanding. The swan dance she just performed made Su Xia and Meng Xi extremely envious, and they praised her to the extreme.

  "Du Ruo, with such a good foundation, you will definitely get first prize."

  "Yes, yes, I've never seen anyone dance as well as you. Our classmate, that little short guy, when he danced Swan Lake, it was like a dwarf pumpkin spinning around, so ugly, yet he still got an award. You're so good, you'll definitely get the prize, and we can bask in your glory."

  "Thank you, I've known about this award since junior high school, and for so many years I've been working hard for it, because it's too important to me."

  "Yes, the Royal Academy of Dance in the UK, 200,000, who wouldn't dream of it? You got it and you must be envied by others."

  Du Ruo hung her head, with a hint of sorrow falling on her shoulders, unfortunately, no one could see it. Du Ruo didn't speak, and continued to practice, like a phoenix reborn from the ashes, radiant and resplendent, if not for the constraints of the room, perhaps she would have an even broader sky to soar in.

  It's still a year before the Huixin University Dance Competition, but many people who can't dance are eager to jump into the fray, hoping to make a name for themselves and rise to fame overnight.

  Even some chubby people without a clear outline, who couldn't make up their minds to lose weight when they broke up with their boyfriends at first, now run laps on the playground every morning. Some people even fainted in the practice room due to excessive dieting for weight loss.

  As for the current heat of this game in people's minds, it can basically replace the daily greeting of "Have you eaten?"

  Many seven-foot-tall men are now complaining that it's a pity they're not daughters! Originally, the principal felt especially honored because the school could participate in this competition, but recently, problems have been emerging one after another. Most of the students' time is spent practicing dance, being late to class or leaving early, often skipping classes, and some even drop out of school to practice dance at home.

  As the principal, of course, cannot encourage this atmosphere, but who dares not to give face to a business tycoon? It is a great honor for such a third-rate school that can't even get on stage to compete with many famous schools together. If the principal doesn't know better and doesn't show respect, I'm afraid no one will be willing to provide even basic funding later on.

  But being a principal is tough, many teachers have reflected on this issue, and cannot be ignored. Moreover, after working hard to manage the school, it has finally become a third-rate school that surpasses other third-rate schools, and it cannot be left unattended like this.

  But what can be done to kill four birds with one stone? To appease the teachers' grievances, while also considering the face of wealthy business people, ensuring the school's interests, guaranteeing students' discipline in class, and maintaining the school's achievements. In the end, the principal decided that students who skipped class three times would lose their eligibility to compete.

  This way, the teachers are relieved, but the classmates are anxious like ants on a hot pot, how can they practice dance without more time? However, skipping class is risky and sneaking out requires caution.

  For this reason, some people even held up the banner of sacrifice for the competition and organized students to revolt in the principal's office, and finally died gloriously with great justice.

  At this time, killing the chicken to scare the monkey is always very effective. After that, the lead chicken was beheaded, and the monkeys could only stay in the zoo obediently, no longer thinking of jumping over the wall to eat bananas.

  However, there is one thing that is suspicious. At the beginning, someone raised a flag and many people responded, it can be said to be chaotic and noisy. But in the end, someone actually handed over a four-page list of names of participants in the disturbance.

  And some people have proposed that corresponding measures should be taken against these unreasonable troublemakers, and it is best to take corresponding point deduction policies for those who will participate in the competition in the future. Those with serious circumstances should be disqualified from the competition. It is said that there are three pages of reasonable proposal letters. Such a reasonable request naturally got the recognition of the principal, so many poor people's eagerly anticipated competition became more and more distant.

  Who would do such a thing, it's really too cruel for those who are desperate to participate in the competition. I remember that at that time, Fang Li, Meng Xi, Su Xia and Du Ruo all went to join in the fun, but their names were not on the list, which was really strange.

  Mo Xiao said, "What's so strange about that? Many people will stop at nothing to get this first prize. I've always been opposed to my dad sponsoring this kind of competition."
