" what with you? why do you seem stressed?" asked Yu MiaoMiao, She was worried about her friend's condition

" MiaoMiao .."

Yu MiaoMiao nodded

" you know what my dream is ? " Chen Qian asked her gently

" of course i do .. you always tell me that you want to become a ballerina like your late mother "

Yu MiaoMiao replied calmly

" I don't think I can become a ballerina in the future " Chen Qian's tone seem so depressed

" why? " asked Yu MiaoMiao puzzled . She couldn't understand why the girl suddenly stated that she would not be a ballerina when she was so confident in herself before .

" i haven't raised my ranked, it's still in 440th place. If it continues like this, i won't qualify to participate in ballet competition " explained Chen Qian, tears streaming down her cheeks. She was very disappointed in her academic achievements

" Qian Qian .. don't be sad, if you sad then i'll be sad too. If you cry then i will cry too " Yu MiaoMiao said and hugged her best friend .

They have been friends since they were in elementary school. Therefore, she loved her best friend, no one could change Chen Qian's name in her heart, because Chen Qian was the only female friends she had in her life .

" MiaoMiao .. i'm failed "

" don't say like that .. we have more than 10 months before final exam, you still can study hard to be in rank 200th " Yu MiaoMiao said earnestly, she did not want her best friend to give up

" I'm stupid, I can't even solve math problem " Chen Qian said

" i'll ask Yi Feng to help you, he's a genius or i will tell Yang Zhao to teach you too " spare Yu MiaoMiao

" but .. will they help me? i'm not close with them"

" you're not close to them but I'm close to them, I'll persuade them to help you and I won't let you give up on your dream just because of your lowest rank" Yu MiaoMiao said confidently

" MiaoMiao .. thank you ..."

Chen Qian said sincerely

" what's important now is you shouldn't give up so easily because i won't let you faced all of these hard times alone, i will go through the path with you even if it is bad because you are my friend "

Yu MiaoMiao replied while smile

" you've helped me a lot, i don't know when will i can repay all of your kindness toward me. I'm so grateful to have you as my friend, with you by myside, i won't be alone " Chen Qian hugged Yu MiaoMiao's body .

She is deeply moved by all the good things that Yu MiaoMiao has poured out for herseld .

BELLOWS the evening breeze feels so gentle and soothing to the face. The roar of the sea feels like a melodious rhythm that is so beautiful and soothing .

Yu MiaoMiao plunges her back on a tree by the beach. She looks forward to her two best friends, Li Yi Feng and Yang Zhao, she's promised to meet them there

" hey? why do you ask us to come here? " Li Yi Feng Shouted

Yu MiaoMiao was shocked with his sudden presence , the daydream had stopped and lost in the sea .

Her eyes were round to see Li Yi Feng's face , So annoying ! he always like this !

Fortunately she had no heart disease, unless she'll laying free in the ICU ward because she was shocked

Li Yi Feng just smile and rests his back on the wooden surface next to Yu MiaoMiao, same does to Yang Zhao .

" you're so annoying for real, why don't you just come to my house instead of asking me to come

" you're so talkative .." Yu MiaoMiao said and hit Li Yi Feng's arm

" hmm Yang Zhao .. if i ask you to help me, will you help me? " Yu MiaoMiao asked Yang Zhao who's sit beside her

" what is this? you just ask him? Then why do you ask me to come over?" asked Li Yi Feng dissatisfied

" you're so loud! I won't ask you because I'm going to force you to help me, so be quiet " Yu MiaoMiao replied and shut Li Yi Feng's mouth with her palm

Yang Zhao stared at Yu MiaoMiao's face and nodded his head

" it is about my friend" said Yu MiaoMiao

" your friend? who?

Yu MiaoMiao just nodded her head

" what happen with her? " asked Yang Zhao calmly

" she dreamed to become a ballerina but her acedemic result might be a obstacle for her to achive her dream. So can you help her? " Yu MiaoMiao explained to Yang Zhao who was still looking at her face

" she is really pitiful, she's already face a tough childhood, so i don't want she's sad again. It's hurt my feeling by seeing her stress and sad like that"

" MiaoMiao .. you should be worried about your rank instead of her, She is 440th and you? You're 550th. I really don't understand

" ah be quiet, you're so annoying" she said while pinching Li Yi Feng's arm

" I'm telling you the truth though .." lamented Li Yi Feng

" MiaoMiao .. Yi Feng has a point, I know you have a good intention toward her but you should be worried about yourself too"
