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

"Why did you choose me?" Shen Tang put down her chopsticks.

Ji Huaizhou smiled slightly, "I watched your training yesterday, and I have high hopes for you."

"What is a joint performance?" Shen Tang asked.

"Team One and Team Two will hold a joint performance every now and then, firstly to bring the team members closer together, and secondly to improve their teamwork."

Shen Tang looked at Ji Huaizhou. Putting aside how well he danced, his posture alone was enough to show his skill.

"I'll think about it," Shen Tang said with a slight smile.

"Okay. Take your time eating."

Ji Huaizhou bowed slightly to Shen Tang and Zhao Wenjing, then left with a smile.

Zhang Wenjing glanced behind her, then turned and leaned closer to Shen Tang, lowering her voice to say:

"With Commander Huo away, you'd better uphold your wifely virtues."

Shen Tang was both amused and exasperated, and tapped Zhang Wenjing's forehead.

"What kind of womanly virtues are you talking about?"

"This kind of male demon is all about seducing women," Zhao Wenjing said with a squinty eye as she wandered off.

"You've been seduced?" Shen Tang asked, smiling at her.

Zhao Wenjing blushed: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

She sat up straight and started eating her rice.

Zhou Nan got her food and sat down next to Shen Tang.

"Why are you eating so fast?" Zhou Nan asked, puzzled.

Zhao Wenjing lowered her head and mumbled, "Hungry."

This was the first time Shen Tang had ever seen Zhao Wenjing so shy. She looked up at Ji Huaizhou.

Ji Huaizhou hadn't gone far; he was standing there talking to someone. When he saw Shen Tang looking over, he smiled and nodded.

Shen Tang twitched her lips.

This is really not her type.

In the afternoon, Director Zhang announced the joint performance.

"Teams one and two will be mixed together, with two people per team, and teams will be formed freely. Each team will prepare one performance and will go on stage to perform in two weeks. Rankings will be based on their performances at that time."

No sooner had Commander Zhang finished speaking than the rehearsal hall erupted in chaos.

"I saw a team with lots of handsome young men, but I wonder which one I'll be paired with?"

"Who do you think is the best?" someone teased.

"Haha... I have my eye on a lot of people, but I can't have them all."

Everyone was laughing and joking.

"Quiet! This is a performance, not a place for you to date," Commander Zhang said sternly. "Seriously, all of you!"

Everyone fell silent, standing with their eyes down, listening to Commander Zhang's speech.

"The male members of the first team will be coming over in a bit. You all better behave yourselves and act like proper girls."

After Commander Zhang finished speaking, everyone exchanged glances and couldn't help but smile.

"One, two, one, two, one... Halt!"

Commander Ge led the male members of the regiment in, who walked in in neat rows.

The female members huddled together, some pushing, some dodging, and some blushing.

Commander Ge smiled at Commander Zhang and said, "The male members of our team have been waiting for a long time. They can't concentrate on training, so I brought them over."

The male team leaders of the second team stood ramrod straight, but their eyes had already drifted to the female team members.

The members of both teams were secretly looking at each other.

Commander Zhang said with a serious expression:

"Stand still, everyone. This performance is crucial to your year-end evaluations, so stay focused and don't get distracted. If anyone is found using this opportunity to date, they will be dealt with very seriously."

Commander Zhang was like a mother protecting her own daughter, her eyes piercing the faces of the male members like needles.

One by one, the male members withdrew their gazes and lowered their eyes.

Commander Ge, however, had a gentle expression. She looked at the female members and said:

"Here's what we'll do. We'll give you female group members priority in choosing. You can come over one by one and pick the members you want to work with."

The female members stood in a row, looking at each other but no one moved.

Shen Tang looked into the group and saw that all the male members were tall and straight, with Ji Huaizhou standing out in particular.

Even though everyone else was wearing the same group uniform, his charisma stood out.

"I choose Ji Huaizhou," Li Meihua announced loudly.

All eyes turned to Li Meihua. "Ji Huaizhou, step forward," Ge Aihua announced.

"Yes." Ji Huaizhou stepped forward, turned around, and walked to the opposite side of Li Meihua.

"I'm very sorry, Comrade Li Meihua, but I already have a partner to choose from."

Li Meihua frowned.

Ji Huaizhou was the most outstanding member of the team, and she chose him in order to win.

But he actually refused?

Commander Zhang was also somewhat surprised. Li Meihua was the mainstay of the team, and she was supposed to partner with Ji Huaizhou, but Ji Huaizhou disagreed. Who did he want to partner with?

"Ji Huaizhou, Li Meihua has already chosen you, are you going to refuse?" Commander Zhang asked.

"There's no rule that says I can't choose someone else just because she chose me, right?"

Ji Huaizhou's voice was gentle, with a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were firm.

He turned to look at Shen Tang, a smile playing on his lips: "I..."

"I choose him!"

Shen Tang quickly took a step forward and stood next to a male member of the group who had dark skin and a very muscular build.

She didn't want to provoke Li Meihua again.

Dealing with all this rubbish all day is so annoying.

Ji Huaizhou paused slightly, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

He pursed his lips, his long eyelashes drooping.

Zhao Wenjing's eyes darted around, and she tugged at Zhou Nan, "Come on, let's choose quickly."

Zhou Nan stepped forward and randomly stood next to one of the male members of the group.

Zhao Wenjing also stood still, "I choose him."

The team members all stepped forward to choose their partners.

Ji Huaizhou slowly raised his long eyelashes and looked at Shen Tang, his eyes slightly red.

Shen Tang pretended not to see it and turned her head toward her chosen partner.

"Hello, my name is Shen Tang."

The male member nervously wiped the sweat from his hands. "Hello, my name is Cheng Lei."

Shen Tang forced a smile.

The one she randomly picked in her haste seems a bit silly.

He doesn't seem to have very good flexibility, but his strength should be sufficient.

Li Meihua took a deep breath. "Ji Huaizhou, who will you choose?"

Ji Huaizhou frowned, lowered his eyes, and remained silent.

Commander Ge had long seen through the situation. She stepped forward and said with a smile:

"Alright, everyone's made their choices. You two are automatically teamed up. A powerful combination will definitely lead to great results. Good luck!"

Ji Huaizhou hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Yes."

Li Meihua glanced at him from head to toe.

The two had worked together before, and he never seemed unhappy about it.

She turned to look at the new team member. Who exactly did Ji Huaizhou have his eye on?

"Alright, everyone stand still," Commander Zhang said in a deep voice. "From now on, everyone will train together in the training hall of Team Two. Now you are free to do as you please and discuss the programs you want to participate in the performance."

The group dispersed, and everyone seemed a little reserved.

Shen Tang was quite forthright. "Cheng Lei, let's sit over there."

"Sigh." Cheng Lei sat down on the ground with Shen Tang.

Shen Tang asked Cheng Lei about his specialties, and sure enough, they were all strength-based.

"I don't use my brain, you tell me how to jump and I'll jump." Cheng Lei scratched his head and said.

He didn't expect Shen Tang to choose him. He wasn't outstanding in the team, and was even at the bottom.

He blushed and secretly glanced at Shen Tang.

"You're really good-looking," Cheng Lei said with a simple smile.

Just as Shen Tang was about to reply, she saw Ji Huaizhou walking towards her.

"Shen Tang, I want to talk to you." His voice was low and slightly choked.

Cheng Lei looked at Ji Huaizhou and reached out to block Shen Tang:

"What, trying to steal her away? She's my partner."
