Chapter 102 - LET'S GO ACCORDING TO THE PLAN
Jenny, June and Han Luo went to the first floor and stopped in a corner. Jenny declared, "I know you are busy with study and stuffs, but we would like to have you in our drama team. Since you became a little popular, it will be good for you to join our club. You will get more attention in the future and if you act properly, you will be given a good role."
She talked as if Han Luo had nothing to do except for goofing off and the drama club would make her dream come true.
Jenny had a habit of looking down on people who she thought was in a lower position than her; that's why she always behaved and talked all high and mighty.
Han Luo smiled a little and asked, "I'm curious – why did you come to me?"
Jenny frowned. She thought that Han Luo would jump in happiness after getting the opportunity to act alongside her and June. She replied, "Where else? From the group page. Your live dancing against Jared had gained you a lot of popularity. But since I know that's not enough for you, you can come to our drama club."
Han Luo looked confused. "I'm not sure who told you that I wanted popularity, but you've got the wrong idea. You see, I have no interest in gaining popularity through some drama club. If you have nothing more to say, then I'll leave."
As she tried to leave, Jenny hurriedly proclaimed, "Hold on! Did you not challenge Jared because you wanted to gain fame quickly?"
Han Luo shook her head and answered truthfully, "No, I challenged him because he talked badly about my deceased mother and my sick father. He also insulted my heritage and my big brothers. If I didn't challenge him, I couldn't shut him up."
"…That's…" Jenny asked a few dance class students and those girls badmouthed Han Luo because they were jealous of her. Jenny realized that she made a mistake by believing those girls, but she didn't want to admit it. She quickly added, "If the dance club rejects you, you can join the drama club."
Han Luo gave her an innocent smile. "Thank you for your offer but I must decline. If the dance club doesn't accept me, I will have to make them accept me and make my place there."
June finally opened his mouth, "Our drama is in December and it will be held at the Christmas party. I think you have plenty of time to think over it."
Han Luo finally looked at him and replied, "Frankly, I don't have time. I will be in Paris for a dance competition. I'll be busy the entire October and November. If I ever think of acting in your drama, I can only think about it in December after the competition."
"What's so good about a competition?" Jenny scoffed. It was the first time someone rejected her offer so bluntly.
Every day, new students came to join the drama club, but they always rejected them if they didn't have enough skills. Now that she tasted her own medicine, Jenny was fuming.
"The drama club is your life. Dancing is my life. You don't have to try to understand my feelings. As long as you can understand your feelings for the drama club, it's enough." Han Luo wanted to punch Jenny in the face, but she kept her cool and smiled until the end. She thought of thanking Tang Yujin later for teaching her how to stay cool in front of an annoying person. "I'm leaving first." She turned around and left right after she finished talking.
After Han Luo left, Jenny stomped her foot. "What is wrong with that girl?! I made a fool of myself by asking her to join us. She is so proud of a simple popularity. I shouldn't have come here!"
"Relax, there is no point of getting angry. It won't solve the problem," June calmly said. He kept looking at the way Han Luo left. It was the first time someone rejected him. While talking, she never gave him a flirtatious or a fangirl look. Other girls drooled over him, but she was different. He found her very interesting.
Jenny turned around and faced him. "Do you know how to take care of this? She has a competition – of course she wouldn't join us!"
"Don't be too sure. I've already prepared a plan. Listen…" June told her his plan.
While listening, Jenny's eyes widened. She asked, "Do you think that will work?"
June answered, "We are members of the drama club. Who will believe that girl instead of us?"
Jenny's eyes lit up. "I'll do according to your wish."

Han Luo didn't know what was coming after her. She went to the library and found Mo Yuan in the usual spot. She walked and paused after seeing Nana Shimizu sitting in front of him. She also chose the chair she used before. She was reading books without looking at anyone.
Beth was sitting far away from the two of them. She was busy taking some photos of Mo Yuan and Nana Shimizu.
Han Luo gracefully walked forward and sat beside Mo Yuan. She smiled at him and opened her text book. She was planning on finishing today's homework before the next bell rang.
Mo Yuan wrote a note: 'What took you so long?'
Han Luo wrote a reply: 'I bumped into the drama club. They wanted me to play a part in their newest drama, but I rejected them.'
Mo Yuan was relieved. He wrote: 'You did a good job. Stay away from them. They are not good people. They always show off their bodies to gain popularity.'
Han Luo covered her mouth so that she couldn't laugh aloud. She wished Jenny would hear what he said. If she heard what Mo Yuan said, she would lose consciousness.
She silently giggled and started to write an essay.
Mo Yuan saw her studying diligently and couldn't help but smile discreetly.. He took off his scarf and wrapped it around Han Luo's neck.
