  Dancing teams and cheering squads welcoming the freshmen could be seen everywhere. Loudspeakers were playing mainstream music.

  Time and again, dancers competed against each other, attracting applause from the onlookers.

  "Would you like to take a walk around, or apply for a bank and phone card first?"

  Qin Guan and Cong Nianwei looked at each other. "There’s no hurry. We’d like to watch the dancers first."

  John liked that reply, as he had just seen Susanna, his dazzling girlfriend and cheerleader of the basketball team, competing with her arch enemy Wendy, a classic beauty engaging in modern dance. They were currently in a hot competition.

  Most of the onlookers were senior students at Columbia University, who were anxious to see the world in disorder. They had been watching the love-hate relationship between John and the two beauties for many years.

  Even John had no idea who was the ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend.

  Cupid always shot his arrows at random. Whose heart got broken now?

  Susanna made several elegant somersaults. Her nearly transparent hair was shining in the air. She was a typical American girl with blonde hair, blue eyes and fair skin.

  In the US, young people loved movies. Such a girl would have been the female villain in a movie. Susanna was the winner in real life though.

  She had been born on the West Coast, in Central California. Her father was a famous farmer who owned the wildest land in California, but she did not look like a Californian girl.

  As the queen of the university, she had always been a cheerleader at school. The only arch enemy she had ever had was Wendy at Columbia University.

  That tall b*tch was always standing high above the masses. She was nothing but a middle-class citizen, yet she constantly acted like a queen.

  Susanna paused and looked at Wendy in a provoking manner. Suddenly, she spotted her handsome boyfriend in the crowd.

  "John!" Susanna ran over and took his arm. "Did you come to cheer me on?"

  John looked at Wendy guiltily. The brunette looked down gloomily. Her beautiful eyelashes trembled slightly.

  "I’m working as a volunteer. What about you? Come join me and my new friends if you are not busy."

  "Qin Guan and Cong Nianwei, this is my girlfriend, Susanna."

  "Hello!"

  "Hello!"

  Susanna glanced at the two Asian students. The boy was mediocre, but the girl was pretty in a delicate way. American boys tended to like girls like her.

  Susanna cast a worried glance at them and noticed that their hands were locked. They are a couple. Suddenly, her voice softened. "We are still in the middle of the competition. I have to wait until Wendy finishes her dance. Anyway, we are good friends, right?"

  John looked awkwardly at Wendy, who was standing in the center proudly. He fell silent.

  He couldn’t show favor towards one of them, or World War III would break out.

  Qin Guan and Cong Nianwei were newcomers, so they just stood by, watching the performance quietly. They noticed the strange expression on the surrounding people’s faces.

  Let’s observe first.

  Suddenly, Wendy moved. The music became more melodious. Her dance was sad and beautiful in a heroic way.

  She looked up at the sky unyieldingly, struggling with her emotions.

  As Qin Guan watched her with relish, he told Cong Nianwei, "Such skill. It seems like she is not just good at contemporary dance."

  John focused on Qin Guan and Cong Nianwei happily. Their comments were actually quite accurate.

  "She often performs on Broadway. If the courses at our university weren’t taking up so much of her time, she would have been a chief dancer in theater."

  "That’s why I got a ballet and jazz vibe from her performance. She combines those characteristics in contemporary dance."

  John looked at Qin Guan with new eyes. The Asian boy with the black-framed glasses seemed to know a lot about dance.

  "Exactly. She is excellent." John gave Qin Guan a thumbs-up in a slightly showy manner.

  "Ouch!"

  John turned his head around and saw Susanna’s pink nails twisting on his bottom.

  Some people around them put their fingers in their mouths and whistled at him.

  A dancer could get startled by the whistle of an audience member under the stage, let alone their own lover’s.

  Wendy was distracted by the whistle. She jumped repeatedly, but she forgot that she was not in a safe dancing room, but on the hard campus ground.

  "She shouldn’t have done that! John, catch her!" Qin Guan warned John.

  Wendy realized her mistake, but it was too late for her to control her body. She flew right in John’s direction.

  In other people’s eyes, she looked like she was expressing her emotions for her ex-boyfriend. She was such a cunning girl. She had taken advantage of the dancing to throw herself at him.
