She was tricked into marriage for three years, then remarried a childless, tough guy and became preg

Sun Qian stood by the door with her arms crossed and one leg across the door frame.

She raised her chin and said, "I won't allow it."

"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because Huo Xiuyuan is backing you up. Let me tell you, you can never compare to Xinyue."

Seeing that Shen Tang had made a name for herself, Sun Qian wanted to put her in a bad mood.

If this continues, she'll eventually take advantage of me.

"Why should I compare myself to her?" Shen Tang asked with a smile. "Is she that good?"

"You......." Sun Qian was speechless, choked by her words.

"Get out of here!"

Zhao Wenjing strode over and slammed her elbow into Sun Qian's abdomen.

Sun Qian cried out in pain, nearly falling over from being squeezed.

Enraged, he kicked her several more times.

"Ah—Zhao Wenjing, you brute!"

Zhao Wenjing turned around and raised her fist at her, "You're right, I am a brute. If you don't behave, I'll let you taste the fist of a brute."

Sun Qian clenched her fists in anger and sat back on the bed, sulking.

The grouping results came out quickly.

Shen Tang and Yang Xinyue served as the captains of the two teams, respectively.

Yang Xinyue led Team One, and Shen Tang led Team Two.

In the same dormitory, Zhao Wenjing and Zhou Nan were assigned to Shen Tang's second team.

Sun Qian and Liu Ping were assigned to Yang Xinyue's team.

Sun Qian said smugly, "What kind of stuff is your team? Kunqu Opera, Peking Opera, it's a complete hodgepodge! Hahaha..."

"Stop with the empty talk. Use that time to practice dancing. Don't end up like last time, unable to even keep up with the rhythm," Shen Tang said coldly.

Yang Xinyue looked at Shen Tang and said in a deep voice, "We'll see who's better on the field."

Shen Tang raised an eyebrow in response.

The rules for this competition are that both teams choose their own performance pieces.

It assesses both the overall team performance and individual performance. It also tests the team leader's organizational and coordination abilities.

Yang Xinyue's team quickly selected their performance piece – "The Moon on the Fifteenth".

This song is a staple of the performing arts troupe's repertoire, and it's a must-have in almost every major performance.

Choosing this song is a safe bet, and with its well-established choreography, Yang Xinyue doesn't need to rack her brains over the choreography itself.

While the first team had already started rehearsing, Shen Tang was still going through the talent show and adjusting the groups.

The members of the second team were starting to get anxious:

"Hey, let's get started! Everyone else has been practicing for ages."

"No rush," Shen Tang said, looking at the records in her hand. "I want each of you to make the most of your strengths and get high scores."

"It's just singing and dancing, right? Pick a song and get rehearsing!" Several people frowned and objected.

"I've already compiled a few songs. As the captain of the second team..."

Shen Tang was interrupted before she could finish speaking:

"Even a captain can't be this domineering!"

"Exactly, it wastes so much time!"

"If you don't like staying, then get out!" Zhao Wenjing roared, drawing in her inner energy.

"You guys can't even hit high notes when you sing, and your dancing is boring, yet you still have the nerve to chatter on like this. Don't you know your own limitations?"

"Do you think I wanted to join the second team? Letting them fall so far behind, we'll still lose in the end!" The man rolled his eyes at Zhao Wenjing and said.

Shen Tang looked at everyone and said coldly:

"Those who want to join the first team are welcome to leave; I will not force them to stay."

The group of people who initially had reservations looked at each other and fell silent.

Shen Tang looked at everyone and said in a high voice:

"Since you're not leaving, you have to follow my orders. You can voice your opinions if you have any. But—if anyone tries to dampen morale, back down, or disrupt the fighting, don't blame me for not letting you go on the field!"

Shen Tang's words were firm and resounding, and everyone fell silent.

"My stage will absolutely make each of you shine," Shen Tang said in a deep voice. "Continue!"

The next morning, a car drove into the yard, loaded with musical instruments.

Ge Aihua said with a smile, "Comrades, I've borrowed a few musical instruments for you. See if any of them are useful."

Everyone gathered around to look—

There are erhu, suona, guzheng, accordion, drum, and some percussion instruments.

Everyone gathered around and started discussing it:

"Who knows how to do this? I've never even touched it," someone said.

Zhao Wenjing frowned and said, "I did learn the erhu from my grandfather, but it sounds like I'm playing it without any air."

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed along.

Yang Xinyue looked at the accordion in the car and a smile appeared on her lips.

She stepped forward and said, "Commander Ge, I'd like to play the accordion."

"Okay," Ge Aihua nodded.

"Our Crescent Moon Accordion player is amazing! No wonder she's our team leader!" Sun Qian exclaimed immediately.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Shen Tang provocatively.

Shen Tang's gaze fell on the gleaming golden suona.

Isn't this a coincidence? This is exactly what she needs.

"Commander Ge, I choose this one." Shen Tang raised the suona high.

Ge Aihua's eyes widened; this suona was not something just anyone could play.

"He definitely won't blow it; he'll just pretend. That thing is really hard to blow," Sun Qian said, pursing her lips.

"beep--"

A loud suona blast rang out, slapping Sun Qian's face until it swelled up.

Her mouth was wide open and she couldn't close it for a long time.

Shen Tang raised an eyebrow at her.

Sun Qian's lips trembled as she looked at Yang Xinyue: "She, she really knows how."

Yang Xinyue's gaze fell on Shen Tang's face.

That feeling of fear returned.

Shen Tang is definitely suspicious.

When the others arrived, they would confront each other. She wanted to see if this Shen Tang was a human or a ghost!

"Shen Tang, could you add a big drum?"

Zhao Wenjing picked up the drumsticks and swung them around, striking twice.

"Thump—thump—thump—"

The rhythm was steady, the power was strong, and the sound was deafening.

Based on those two sounds, Shen Tang concluded that Zhao Wenjing was definitely capable.

Shen Tang's eyes lit up immediately—

The combination of suona and drums is absolutely stunning!

Sun Qian's lips curled into a smirk as she muttered under her breath:

"Suona, big drum, what kind of old-fashioned musical instruments did you choose?"

Shen Tang ignored her.

After both teams selected their instruments, they went back to practice.

Shen Tang's team quickly got into the swing of things. Shen Tang's song selection was excellent, and her choreography gave everyone a chance to showcase their talents.

Even Feng Yuling, who had previously held a grudge against her, took the initiative to apologize.

Starting from the third day, the training status of the first and second teams underwent a complete reversal.

Yang Xinyue's team had already mastered the pieces and were just waiting for the competition, but the team's morale had clearly slackened.

Shen Tang's team practiced until late at night every day, and everyone was still full of energy and fighting spirit.

As the team leader, Shen Tang was extremely busy.

That evening, after everyone had gone to rest, she left the dormitory and went into the room where the sewing machine was kept.

Huo Xiuyuan went out to empty the foot bath water and looked up to see Shen Tang in the room.

He frowned.

Is this woman out of her mind?

For three consecutive days, she has come over in the middle of the night to sew, and doesn't return to her dormitory until the early hours of the morning.

How can the body withstand the high-intensity rehearsals during the day?

He turned and went back into the house, taking a can of malted milk powder from the cupboard.

Shen Tang lowered her head, carefully aligned the needles, and quickly ran the stitches.

Making a custom-made performance costume costs more than twenty yuan, which is really not cost-effective. So she stayed up all night to make them for the team members herself.

Shen Tang twisted her sore neck, intending to lean back in her chair and rest for a bit.

Looking up, I saw a face with an extremely rugged look—

His prominent Adam's apple exuded sexual tension; his sharply defined chin slowly descended, and a pair of dark eyes met her gaze.

What kind of devilish perspective is this?

But the man in front of me was so handsome it was almost unfair.

Shen Tang's heart raced; from this angle—

It would be perfect for filming a great kissing scene.

She couldn't help but swallow, and let out a soft cry:

"Huo Xiuyuan..."
