"What's it to you?" Shen Tang frowned and looked at Lu Jingshen.

Lu Jingshen gritted his teeth, pulled Yang Chaoyang back, and said to him:

"Why would you like her of all people? She's just..."

Huo Xiuyuan turned around, his fists clenched.

Shen Tang was ready to slap him; if Lu Jingshen dared to say anything, she would give him a few hard slaps.

Lu Jingshen glanced at Shen Tang and swallowed the rest of his words.

"What right do you have to tell me what to do?" Yang Chaoyang shook off Lu Jingshen's hand. "If it weren't for my sister's sake, I would have beaten you up long ago."

Yang Xinyue walked over and said in a low voice, "Chaoyang, he is your brother-in-law."

"They're not even married yet! Why are you calling him brother-in-law?"

Yang Chaoyang looked down on Lu Jingshen.

In his eyes, Lu Jingshen was a treacherous and despicable man. Moreover, he had deceived his own sister, claiming that bringing a pound of pork was enough to signify an engagement.

Yang Chaoyang turned to look at Shen Tang and said seriously:

"Shen Tang, I like you, and I hope you can accept my pursuit. I've already been accepted into the police academy, and I'll be a police officer in three years. I promise to treat you well."

Looking at the bright-eyed, white-toothed young man in front of her, Shen Tang couldn't help but smile.

The spirit of youth is most precious, and it is only at this age that one can express love so directly and passionately.

"Do you like me?" Shen Tang asked with a smile.

"Yes!" Yang Chaoyang nodded seriously.

"Shen Tang already has a boyfriend."

Shen Tang turned around and saw Huo Xiuyuan standing behind her, who pulled her closer to him.

She raised her chin and looked at Yang Chaoyang coldly.

Yang Chaoyang opened his eyes wide and looked at Shen Tang, "Didn't you just... so quickly..."

Shen Tang didn't want Yang Chaoyang to waste his time on her.

She smiled and said, "You're late."

Huo Xiuyuan glanced at Shen Tang, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

She did not deny it.

Yang Chaoyang looked at Huo Xiuyuan and nodded, saying, "I accept losing to you. But—if you treat her badly, I'll take her back."

"I won't give you a chance," Huo Xiuyuan said firmly.

Yang Chaoyang laughed heartily: "Okay. I wish you happiness."

The surrounding team members started talking about it.

"Commander Huo and Shen Tang are really together? They seem quite well-matched."

"When did you think they got together?"

Huo Xiuyuan looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice:

"Shen Tang and Lu Jingshen were never married. I was the one who pursued Shen Tang, and we were in a serious relationship."

Shen Tang looked at him in shock, thinking he was helping her reject Yang Chaoyang.

Who knew he would actually do it for real?

Shen Tang asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?"

Huo Xiuyuan grabbed Shen Tang's hand and raised it up:

"Shen Tang is my boyfriend."

"Okay, best wishes!" Zhao Wenjing was the first to applaud.

Everyone smiled and offered their blessings to the couple.

Shen Tang smiled, but gritted her teeth inwardly.

Huo Xiuyuan, what exactly are you doing?

Lu Jingshen stared at Shen Tang with eyes full of hatred. Yang Xinyue hooked her arm around his and pressed her body against him softly.

"Jing Shen, I've gone to the city. Can you come see me?" Yang Xinyue's voice was soft and sweet.

Lu Jingshen glanced at her and replied, "Mm."

His gaze still drifted to Shen Tang.

He still couldn't quite believe it.

Did she really get together with Huo Xiuyuan?

Seeing that Lu Jingshen kept looking at Shen Tang, Yang Xinyue raised her hands and cupped his face in her hands.

"Deep focus," Yang Xinyue exclaimed, somewhat angrily.

Lu Jingshen then turned to look at her and said softly:

"Of course I will come to see you."

Lu Jingshen leaned forward and lowered his voice:

"I've already started missing you even before you left?"

Yang Xinyue shyly gave him a light punch.

"Is everyone here?" Ge Aihua strode over.

Shen Tang counted the number of people and found that Zhou Nan had not yet arrived.

She frowned slightly.

Zhou Nan is always very punctual, why hasn't he arrived yet?

"Commander Ge, we're still short one person," Shen Tang said in a low voice as he walked over.

"Wow—" the crowd exclaimed.

A black sedan came to a smooth stop, and Qin Zheng got out of the car.

The team members huddled together, their eyes sparkling as they looked at Qin Zheng.

"It's Qin Zheng, he's so handsome."

"Good-looking, rich, and single. A true eligible bachelor."

Qin Zheng moved to the passenger seat, opened the door, and led Zhou Nan out.

Zhou Nan lowered her head shyly.

Shen Tang walked over and took Zhou Nan's hand, then looked at Qin Zheng and said:

"Why are you so late?"

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "I can't bear to part with it."

His gaze was fixed on Zhou Nan, and he lowered his head to instruct her:

"Call me when you get there, and I'll come see you in a couple of days."

Zhou Nan responded softly, then turned and quickly walked towards the car.

Qin Zheng smiled and watched her get into the car, then stood there watching her.

Ge Aihua glanced at Qin Zheng and raised her voice:

"Everyone's here, let's get on the bus and go!"

Everyone got into the car, chatting and laughing.

Zhou Nan looked out the car window, and Qin Zheng quickly blew her a kiss.

Zhou Nan was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head.

Shen Tang sat down next to her.

The car started and headed towards the city's cultural troupe.

More than half an hour after the car drove off, the team members who had been chatting away all started to doze off.

Shen Tang gently tugged at Zhou Nan and asked in a low voice:

"He took you home?"

Zhou Nan nodded and shook her head, her face flushed.

Shen Tang frowned and touched the red mark on her neck.

Zhou Nan shyly tugged at her collar.

Shen Tang whispered in her ear, "Did you two sleep?"

Zhou Nan raised her hands to cover her face and remained silent.

Shen Tang's brows furrowed more and more tightly, and she said urgently:

"Say something!"

After a long while, Zhou Nan finally revealed her large, watery almond-shaped eyes and gently shook her head.

Shen Tang let out a soft breath, and her body finally relaxed.

"That's good," she whispered, leaning close to Zhou Nan. "Qin Zheng isn't a bad person, but he's too impulsive. You should get to know him better."

Zhou Nan nodded and looked at Shen Tang, "Then what about you and Commander Huo?"

Shen Tang glanced at Huo Xiuyuan sitting in front of her and said calmly:

"It's just to appease Yang Chaoyang."

Zhao Wenjing peeked out from behind her. "Are you two faking it?"

Huo Xiuyuan turned to look at Shen Tang, stared at her for two seconds before turning away, and it was obvious that his jawline had tightened.

Shen Tang turned around and glared at Zhao Wenjing. "Keep your voice down."

"I heard that when we get to the troupe, they'll be changing our leader. What kind of leader do you think it will be?" Zhao Wenjing asked.

"Isn't Commander Ge leading us?" Zhou Nan asked worriedly. "Will it be very strict?"

"No matter who it is, just do a good job. They can't possibly bully us, can they?" Shen Tang said with a smile.

Zhao Wenjing leaned forward again and said, "Did you know? Yang Xinyue almost couldn't go because someone reported her for inappropriate behavior. Later, it was her father who donated a large number of musical instruments to the performing arts troupe that got her accepted."

"Do you know who reported her?" Zhao Wenjing asked mysteriously.

"Who is it?" Zhou Nan asked, blinking.
