Yu Chen said, "Well you were the one who was screaming challenges. I only accepted because you looked iching to dance."
The boy glared at Chen before he started laughing, "You're good. Now, let's see if your moves are as good as your mouth."
Saying this motioned to the DJ and music blasted from the speakers all around.
Yu Chen watched calmly, her hands folded across her chest, as the boy began to show off his moves.
She had to admit the boy was rather good.
As he was done, Yu Chen stretched a little and then went into her zone. As Chen began to dance to the music, everyone watched in awe. Her every move seemed to be perfect, she twirled here, flipped there and moved in perfect sync to the music.
Chen finally finished her piece with a front flip in which she landed just in front of the boy, took his cap and placed it on her head.
The boy recovered from the daze as Yu Chen turned around and started walking away. He showed off his moves again, better than the last time, so much so that, when he finished, even Yu Chen was clapping. She said, "You're good boy. I'll give you that."
Then she started and even though the audience thought that they had seen all her moves, she proved them wrong and danced such that even before she finished, the boy had climbed down from the stage.
Yu Chen blew a kiss to the boy as he clapped while standing with the rest of the crowd.
Chen then spoke up, "Anyone. Anyone who wants to dance. Come up here!!!!"
She was thoroughly enjoying herself and high-fived a young man who climbed on the stage.
He said, "I know I can't beat you doll. But I would give anything to dance against you."
Yu Chen laughed as another dance battle began.
Chen continued to enjoy herself as she did battle after battle, people coming up to dance against her and admitting that though they would not win, dancing would be a great privilege.
In Xi Hua's apartment.....
Xi Hua had been very surprised to see Chen's note. "What kind of an errand she has that she would not be back even after I turn in?" Hua wondered to herself as she ate dinner and then waited up a bit for Chen before finally giving up and going to bed.
Though she went to bed, Xi Hua was worried about Chen and could not sleep. She finally got up and was shocked to see that it was about midnight and Chen had still not returned. She tried calling her but of course Yu Chen did not hear in all the sound.
As more and more time passed, Xi Hua grew more worried. She finally couldn't take it anymore and called Si Xia.
Xia picked up after quite a few rings. "Hello?" He said. It was clear from his voice that he had been sleeping.
"Hey, is Chen with you?" Xi Hua was very worried.
All traces of sleep vanished from Xia's face as he said, "Chen? She's not at the apartment?"
Xi Hua told Xia everything about the note and how Chen was still not back yet.
As she finished, Si Xia said, "I'm coming over. And call Zenghai in case we need to track her phone."
