True Love Waits novel Chapter 114

Dixon tried to analyze Carlos' motives behind this. "I believe Mr. Huo was trying to avenge you. He must have seen you hit Jared and guessed that Jared had pissed you off. He asked the both of you to answer two different questions. The first question was extremely hard while the second one was rather simple. That way, he could find a reason to make Jared dance for you when he failed to answer where you succeeded. He just wanted to make you happy. Wow, what a caring husband Mr. Huo is!"

Debbie, Kasie and Kristina nodded at Dixon's analysis. Till now, his was the only one that made any sense.

Jared blew off the chalk on his hand and cast a burning glance at Debbie. "Did I kill your husband's grandpa? Why did he treat me like this?" he snapped furiously. "He not only asked Mr. Lu to keep an eye on me, but also asked me to dance for you and clean the blackboard! From now on, I am going to keep you at arm's length. I can't afford to bear his jealousy."

Debbie rolled her eyes and snapped back, "Come on, dude. You are not my lover. Why would he be jealous of you? Just dance for me, now!"

Jared banged the table, fuming with rage at the thought of dancing for Debbie. He shouted at the classroom door as if Carlos were still standing there. "Carlos Huo! I am going to remember this thing for the rest of my life. You know what they say? Revenge is a dish best served cold! You just wait and watch!"

Debbie wasn't too pleased to hear him shout a threat to her husband. "Jared Han, I've recorded what you just said. I think I'll send it to Carlos right now," she threatened.

The anger on Jared's face immediately disappeared. With a pitiful look, he pleaded, "Please don't do that, Tomboy! I'll dance for you right here, right now."

"Do it!"

A few students, who wanted to see Jared dance, stayed in the classroom, pretending to be studying. Jared, however, shooed all of them out.

He even wanted to drive Kasie, Kristina and Dixon out. However, Kasie held onto Debbie's left arm, and Kristina held onto her right. Dixon, who also wanted to watch Jared dance, cradled his girlfriend's neck. The three of them were determined to not leave the classroom.

Despite his unwillingness, Jared had no other choice but to start dancing.

To be honest, his street dance wasn't that bad and managed to impress everyone, except Debbie, who remained emotionless and even yawned.

Seeing an exhausted Jared, Kasie had an idea. "Jared, why don't you do Yangko dance*? I think that's going to be a lot funnier," she proposed with a giggle and even played a video of Yangko dance on her phone to demonstrate it.

(*TN: The Yangko dance is a traditional Chinese folk dance. Yangko dancers are usually women wearing bright and colorful costumes.)

Jared stopped dancing and covered his face with both hands, giving up all hope of ever escaping this humiliation. "Tomboy, if you refuse to laugh this time, we aren't going to be friends anymore!" he threatened Debbie.

Jared moved exactly like the women in the video were moving, and it was really funny to see a big boy like him do the Yangko dance.

The other three burst into laughter this time, but Debbie still remained poker-faced—she was trying her best to suppress her laughter.

Just as the music was about to come to an end, Debbie finally couldn't hold it back anymore and cracked up laughing. "Hahaha! Jared, you dance like Logger Vick*! Hahaha..."

(*TN: Logger Vick is a character in animation "Boonie Bears".)

Just like Logger Vick, Jared was tall and thin. And he was wiggling his ass like crazy.

Jared heaved a sigh of relief when Debbie finally laughed. He turned off the music and sat beside her. "Debbie, would you mind if you had to divorce Carlos Huo and marry another man?" he asked.

"Yes, I would!" Debbie blurted out without any hesitation. She was beginning to fall for Carlos completely now, and had forgotten that she had wanted to divorce him in the beginning.

Within a minute, Debbie received a text message from Carlos. "Tell Jared Han, I've recorded him dancing in the classroom. If he doesn't want this video to be released, then he'd better watch his mouth."

Confused, Debbie raised her head and swept her eyes around the classroom. Only then did she see the camera not far away from them. The camera was able to record both pictures and sound. So...had Carlos really recorded Jared dancing Yangko dance?

Jared looked back and forth between Debbie and the camera. Suddenly, he started having a bad feeling about it.

He pounced towards Debbie and snatching her phone, saw Carlos' message on it. Defeated, he slumped down on the chair and murmured, "Mr. Huo is such a considerate teacher..." But in his mind, he was cursing non-stop, "Fuck you, Carlos Huo!"

All that was left for him to do was leave the classroom, which he did, and Debbie replied to Carlos' message, "Did you really record him?"
