Chapter 474 [YOUTH AVENUE]

n0????????????????????????.????0????

THE role that Snow played in [Youth Avenue] was a genius ballet dancer named Julian. One of the main cast in the show named Arlo was also a talented dancer. Both of them would meet at a dance competition. The winner would automatically be admitted to a prestigious art school on full scholarship.

Snow’s character was from a rich and prominent family. Not only that, he was also the youngest child in the family, that’s why he was showered with a lot of love. Dancing was just a hobby for him, it just so happened that he was very, very good at it.

Realizing this, his family gave him all the support he could ever need. Private dance lessons, the best dance academies, and the best teachers. Because of this, his talent bloomed from a budding sprout to a towering tree.

His situation was the total opposite of Arlo. If Julian’s talent bloomed like a flower in spring, then Arlo’s talent was constricted by his family situation.

Arlo’s family didn’t have the financial freedom to support his dream. As if that’s not enough, they were also very discouraging. Telling him that he should have a more realistic dream.

The contrasting situation of the two was fully shown throughout the episode. And it ended with them meeting at the dance competition.

Astrid was very surprised by Snow’s performance. Not only because of the amazing dance talent that he had shown, but more because of how he portrayed the character he was playing.

From watching the episode, he could see that the role of ‘Julian’ was that of a rich young master who was just simply going through the path that was laid in front of him. He wasn’t really interested in ‘dance’ and was just doing it because he’s good at it. Even the reason why he joined the contest was simply because one of his teachers entered him to it.

A small smile appeared on Snow’s lips. “Thanks.”

“The reaction from the public was also very good,” Astrid said. “You did well in choosing this role.”

“I just got lucky,” Snow said. “I happened to see an audition notice, and one of the requirements was being traditionally trained in ballet. It just so happened that I fit that requirement. So, I auditioned and got the role.”

Although Astrid had a feeling that Snow didn’t use any doubles for the dance scenes in [Youth Avenue], hearing it directly from the other still surprised him quite a bit. Because those ballet routines were not something an amateur could do.

“You’re an amazing dancer. You being in the entertainment industry seemed like a big loss to the dance world.”

And Astrid was not exaggerating when he said that. He truly meant it. Snow was just that good. He danced like some kind of swan prince personified. If someone had that kind of talent, they would definitely choose to do well in what they’re good at, rather than trying their hands on something new. He was a good example of that.

Snow chuckled a bit when he heard that. “I’m really not that talented at dance. You can just say that I’m a little better than an amateur, but definitely not on the level of a pro. Besides, it has never really been my passion.”

He only started learning how to dance because he wanted to show it to Assil. Just because the other had mentioned once how he watched a ballet performance and found it very beautiful.

Even learning how to act was for the hope that the other might recognize him—the ‘Snow’ he had met during all those Summers. But, as fate would have it, they met even before he could start his acting career. And just as he expected, Assil didn’t recognize him.

But even if the other was the reason why he started acting, he truly liked acting now. Even more so than when he learned how to dance.

Anyway, he wondered if Assil had seen the episode of [Youth Avenue] where he appeared. And if so, would he think of the ‘Snow’ he met during those Summers when he saw him dance?
