Chapter 319 Kali couldn't help but scoff at Citrine's words. "Crush me? Wow, you sure talk big." Citrine didn't bother to respond, waving her hand impatiently. "Less talking, more dancing. You're up first." At that, Kali's expression shifted, her face suddenly serious.
Today, she was going to show Citrine what real domination looked like.
She picked a notoriously challenging routine.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe moment the music started, Kali stepped into the spotlight.
When it cto dance, Kali believed she was born for it. From the very first beat, her every move was seamless, her body gliding across the floor with an effortless sensuality that sent shivers through the crowd.
When the song ended, the entire room erupted in applause.
"Kali, you're amazing! I'm rooting for you!" "She's gothooked-are you trying to reelin like a fish, goddess?" "I'd marry you twice in three years if I could!" "I already know what we'd nour kids!" As the cheers died down, Kali lifted her chin, confidence radiating from her, and shot Citrine a disdainful look. "Your turn." Citrine's expression was calm, almost indifferent. "You'd better pay attention." The next track began. Citrine swept her chestnut hair behind her shoulders, the strands catching the light as she moved.
She was dancing to the exact smusic, performing the schoreography as Kali.
The steps and poses were identical, but her presence was a world apart. Where Kali exuded flirtatious charm, Citrine's style was bold and cool. Her eyes were unwavering-intense, a touch distant, with a proud self- possession. Every glance was electric, yet she never lingered; it was just enough to leave the crowd wanting more, but no one dared get too close.
When the final note faded, applause thundered through the auditorium.
"Wow, did anyone else think Citrine was seriously badass?" "Totally! Every look she gave just hit different. There was a real edge to it-so much personality, but still dignified. She's got this untouchable aura." "She's like sregal goddess-out of reach, untouchable." "Her eyes were unreal. There's a fire in them, like someone with an unbreakable spirit." "I used to think Kali was good, but after seeing the two side by side, Kali's performance just feels kind of cheap in comparison, like she was just trying too hard to be sexy." "To be honest, it was just for show." "Next to Citrine, Kali suddenly seems so... tawdry. I think I'm crushing on Citrine now." If Citrine hadn't performed, Kali's dance would have been a showstopper. But with Citrine's contrast, Kali's routine suddenly looked shallow.

She thought it was over, but out of nowhere, Citrine turned to her and asked, "Kali, do you know the story behind the lyrics of this song?" Kali hesitated, caught off guard.
The story? Wasn't it just a random track? What story? "Don't know, do you?" Citrine pressed, her gaze fixed on Kali.
Surrounded by students, Kali shot a quick, embarrassed glance around, ve then nodded, swallowing her pride.
Citrine broke into a mocking smile. "So this is the level of culture fram Crestwood University's star student? Colordisappointed."
She continued, her tone casual but cutting. "This song is actually about a love story from the World War II era. The heroine, Jenny, and the hero, Parker, met at a military academy. Both becofficers, drawn together by their shared sense of duty. Their bond deepened as they served their country, leading them to marriage. But that twas full of turmoil and war; long separations were inevitable. Each answered the call of duty, taking on separate missions. Years later, they were both killed in action. The lyrics are inspired by those first days of their bittersweet love story."
