Sun Qian squinted at Shen Tang, then stood up with her arms crossed:

"Alright, an apology should be accompanied by a sincere apology. Crescent Moon, don't you agree?"

Yang Xinyue slowly stood up and looked at Shen Tang:

"Shen Tang, you can apologize, but if your attitude is not sincere, I will not accept it."

Shen Tang lowered her head and smiled slightly, then looked up at Yang Xinyue and took a few steps forward.

Yang Xinyue clenched her fists.

Is she going to attack again?

Shen Tang moved closer to Yang Xinyue and lowered his voice, saying, "Do I have any dirt on you?"

Yang Xinyue's expression changed drastically. Although what happened that night was over, as long as Shen Tang told the details, everyone would still believe it.

After all, he did go out for a long time that night before returning.

Shen Tang smiled and looked at her, saying, "Yang Xinyue, Sun Qian, I'm sorry."

Her tone was relaxed, as if she were asking, "Have you eaten?" Ordinary.

Sun Qian frowned and said, "I don't accept this. What kind of apology is this? What kind of attitude is this?"

Yang Xinyue took a deep breath, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips, and said gently:

"It's okay, I forgive you. We're all family, let's be peaceful and loving."

She smiled, but her eyes were filled with hatred.

"New Moon, how could you forgive her so easily? She......."

"Stop talking," Yang Xinyue interrupted her, forcing a smile. "Shen Tang was drunk; it wasn't intentional."

Sun Qian gritted her teeth and finally managed to squeeze out two words: "Never mind."

Shen Tang smiled and said, "Then—goodnight."

Shen Tang turned around and left the dormitory.

The other people in the dormitory looked at each other but didn't say anything.

Sun Qian was furious and angrily punched the blanket.

Yang Xinyue's eyes were sinister.

Shen Tang, since Ge Aihua and Huo Xiuyuan are both protecting you, then I'll find someone else.

Huo Xiu stood far away under the tree, and only turned slightly to leave when he saw Shen Tang come out of Yang Xinyue's dormitory.

Shen Tang suddenly clasped her hands together in front of her chest, making a heart shape, and pushed them towards Huo Xiuyuan.

Huo Xiuyuan stared at her in shock.

His face showed obvious panic. He quickly looked around and hurried into the yard.

As I walked to the gate of the courtyard, I tripped and almost lost my balance.

Shen Tang couldn't help but laugh.

Shen Tang did not return to the dormitory. After resting, it was time to catch up on the training she had missed today.

She practiced in the dance studio until very late.

Sun Qian glanced at the dance studio and sneered:

"He deserves to be trained like this because he was punished by Commander Ge!"

In the following days, everyone was busy with training.

Sun Qian and Yang Xinyue didn't cause any more trouble.

Qin Zheng had already confirmed the costumes and hadn't contacted Shen Tang again. He simply had the workers deliver the ordered performance costumes.

Before we knew it, it was the day of the finals.

Everyone was putting in their best effort for the competition, and even Zhao Wenjing, who is usually cheerful and carefree, became nervous.

"Shen Tang, quickly check if the back of my clothes is fixed yet?"

Shen Tang smiled and helped her tidy up: "No problem."

Shen Tang was also nervous, and she let out a soft breath.

Zhao Wenjing pointed to the audience below, "Look, that's my grandfather."

Shen Tang followed her gaze.

An elderly man with white hair stood upright, holding a sign high in his hand. The sign read "Zhao Wenjing will win" in strong and vigorous calligraphy.

Shen Tang smiled slightly; they already had support signs.

Shen Tang glanced at the audience; there were an unusually large number of people present today.

The team members' parents and relatives all came over, their faces filled with anticipation as they greeted the team members waiting in the audience.

A pang of sadness swept through Shen Tang's heart.

Back when she first performed on stage as a member of a girl group, it was the same—

All the team members' families came, but she was the only one without any.

To evoke emotion, the organizers even invited the team members' families onto the stage.

More and more people stood on the stage, and Shen Tang could only keep moving to the side, until she was squeezed out of the spotlight.

Finally, the host invited her to the center of the stage and asked:

"Does it make you sad to see that everyone else has family?"

Shen Tang really wanted to slap him across the face. Was he upset?

How could she not be sad? But even more than that, she felt embarrassed!

Shen Tang then raised his head and looked at the audience filling the hall below, saying:

"I, Shen Tang, have few family ties, but even if I am alone, I will overcome all obstacles, turn the tide, and become my own light!"

After she finished speaking, she won thunderous applause from the audience, and the name "Shen Tang" stood out from the girl group.

Adversity can also be an opportunity.

Shen Tang's gaze swept across the back row, where Lu Jingshen stood in the shadows.

Shen Tang frowned. Was he going to ask for something?

After the final election, Shen Tang planned to confront Lu Jingshen and then go their separate ways.

She didn't want to have any further entanglement with him.

Ge Aihua slowly walked onto the stage, her posture upright and composed, her gaze sweeping across the entire audience, her tone solemn and gentle:

"Hello everyone, first of all, thank you for coming to participate in the final selection of our performing arts troupe. Our team members have made rapid progress after a month of training, and it's time to show everyone the results of their hard work."

Our final election adheres to the principles of fairness and impartiality, and we welcome everyone's supervision. Now, please welcome our team members to perform a group dance – "Young Friends Gather."

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted from the audience, and the team members stepped onto the stage with youthful and joyful dance steps.

As the light and melodious music began to play, the team members stood tall and straight, their steps were graceful and orderly, their young faces were full of bright smiles, and their eyes were sparkling.

As the music reached its climax, all the team members gathered together, their postures upright and their dance steps powerful, pushing the atmosphere to its peak.

Everyone performed well in the group dance.

Yang Xinyue's performance was also outstanding. She really put in more effort in the later part of the training, and her movements were more powerful than before, and her expression was more determined.

Shen Tang's performance was quite amazing, and the people in the family compound were all discussing it in surprise.

"How is Shen Tang so amazing? She jumps so well."

"Yeah, I never noticed before. I think she and Yang Xinyue dance the best here."

"Oh dear, if Shen Tang gets selected, won't he have to go to the city? Will the couple be living apart? Will that be manageable?"

"Who knows! I used to think she wasn't good enough for Lu Jingshen, but now, it's the other way around!"

As Lu Jingshen listened to everyone's discussion, his face grew even more gloomy.

After the dance performance ended, enthusiastic applause rang out from the audience.

Ge Aihua was very satisfied with everyone's performance.

At that moment, a middle-aged man in military uniform walked in through the door.

He strode confidently toward Ge Aihua and Huo Xiuyuan with a serious expression.

Ge Aihua quickly saluted and said, "Commander, what brings you here?"

Huo Xiuyuan also stood up and saluted.

The leader glanced at Huo Xiuyuan and said to Ge Aihua:

"Commander Ge, I received a report that some members of this group are having illicit relationships! And instead of investigating, you're deliberately covering it up. Is this true or not?!"

"What?" Ge Aihua frowned.
