  Song Ai stood in the middle while the other girls took their positions on the stage. They glanced at Xu Nuan who was standing on the corner and was rooting for them, they smiled but when the cameraman did the countdown, their expressions changed. 

  Xu Nuan smiled seeing them being so professional and serious about their performances. The music was played and the performance started. The song started with Sun Ya's honey-like mellow voice, while Song Ai harmonized with her. 

  The song started to build-up and with the strong beats and drum and electric guitar, the song took a new root. Pan Lan made an impactful appearance with her charismatic rap, making everyone looking at the performance from the screen dazed in awe. 

  After her rap, Lai Yi jumped in with her raspy- melodic voice. Xu Nuan was clasping her hands tightly in nervousness and couldn't help but feel proud seeing the way they were performing. 

  The song was at the climax when the background music suddenly stopped. Since it was the dance break time and no lines, everyone got flabbergasted. Even the cameraman was shocked, the dance-break with no music is weird and can ruin the whole performance. 

  " Isn't it a broadcasting accident? What do we do, it's a live performance!" The staff were anxious and were worried that it might ruin the whole performance and might affect the voting. 

  Wang Meili who was standing backstage smirked and glanced at Xu Nuan who was staring at the stage in a daze. She wasn't moving and staring at the stage with seriousness, with her hands tightly clasped in front. 

  " Xu Nuan, now people know that your group is nothing special. They're just overrated because of your controversy, and after knowing this, their craze towards your group will soon be over. -

  Song Ai who was leading the dance-break was surprised when the music went off. The dance was powerful with some major movements to show the powerful dance-break. Though they didn't stop and their expressions were unbothered, the performance was still awkward. 

  When everyone was thinking that their performance got ruined due to the broadcasting accident, they heard a powerful voice, making their excitement to be revived again. 

  " SAY WITH ME, WHO ARE WE?" Lai Yi who was standing behind Song Ai shouted to make the audience connect to the performance. 

  Song Ai who was doing the dance moves was startled but smiled when their eyes met. "THE KNIGHTS" she shouted to respond to her shoutout. 

  " AGAIN, WHO ARE WE?" Lai Yi shouted again, and this time everyone in the audience shouted with them, " THE KNIGHTS."

  Pan Lan jumped in with her powerful rap after the dance break, without the background music, her powerful charming voice can be heard clearly and when she ended her part with a growl, it made everyone shout in excitement. 

  By the end of the song, the background music returned and they ended their performance perfectly. 

  [WAAAHH. ONCE MORE, ONCE MORE.]

  People in the audience were going crazy at their marvelous performance. Even the staff members who were worried about the accident were shocked and surprised at the way they handled the performance. 

  They performed the song without the music and still made everyone jump off their seats. 

  Wang Meili frowned seeing the way people were going crazy for them. She glanced at Xu Nuan who was waiting for her group to come down. However, as she was looking at her in confusion, Xu Nuan turned around. 

  Wang Meili pursed her lips as she was surprised when their eyes met. However, before she could look away, she saw Xu Nuan doing something. 

  Xu Nuan raised her brows when she saw Wang Meili staring at her and winked. She smirked seeing her flabbergasted expressions and sent her a flying kiss, which caused her eyes to widen in horror. 

  "……"

  Wang Meili looked away and knitted her brows remembering Xu Nuan's actions. Meanwhile, Xu Nuan chuckled seeing the way Wang Meili looked away in horror. -

  " Woohoo……You guys rocked the stage." Xu Nuan clapped when the girls came backstage. 

  Song Ai pursed her lips and threw her arms around her, hugging her tightly. The feeling of regret got over her and she sobbed while hugging her, " I was so scared when the music stopped during the performance. I never experienced something like this. I thought we ruined this performance."

  Xu Nuan sighed and patted her back, " Oh My, Why are you crying? You guys did so well. You lead the group well, also, Lai Yi, you were amazing out there. Your adlib lightened the atmosphere and excited everyone."

  " Even the senior groups can get flabbergasted in such cases, you guys not only completed the performance but rocked it," she assured them, making Song Ai stop crying. 

  Just as she was consoling them, she heard a noise that startled her. When they looked behind, they saw the staff members and the artists with their staff members who were waiting for their turn started clapping for them. 

  [You guys were amazing.]

  [ You did well.]

  [Cheer up!! You guys rocked the stage.]

  Xu Nuan, who was trying to console everyone, couldn't help but tear up at this heartwarming scene. There are people who are waiting to pull them down, but there are also people who were cheering for them. 

  The girls looked at the staff and senior artists who were complimenting them and started crying again. Xu Nuan sighed and hugged Song Ai again who was the eldest yet crying like a kid. 

  Wang Meili gritted her teeth seeing everyone clapping for them and left the scene. -

  [ OMG!! Did you see how Lai Yi hyped up the crowd? They are not just a girl group but they are a group of four friends who can understand each other with just one glance. Did you guys see the exchange between Lai Yi and Song Ai? I just came to watch their performance because of the hype around them, but I just fell in love with Lai Yi.]

  [ Pan Lan is here to kill everyone with her killer rap. Who else jumped off their seat when she licked her lips after the rap. TBH, I died when she did that.]

  [Lai Yi can step on me, and I'll be blessed.]

  Xu Nuan chuckled while reading the comments. She was happy that the girls managed the performance bravely and showed their true performer spirit. She glanced at Wang Meili who was now cheering up her group to go upstairs. -

  " Girls, you're the last one to perform. Make sure to steal the show. Don't forget your choreo, it's your debut stage. You have to beat Xu Nuan's group at any cost." Wang Meili said to her group. 

  " And you Rin Rin, you're the center of the group, so be sure to stand out. It's your chance to do well. All the best." She said to the center of the group whose father was a trustee in shining bright. 

  " Manager Wang, don't worry. We will be fine. Xu Nuan's group is nothing in front of us. Their performance might be amazing but in looks, they are just average in front of us. Even though they get pretty through makeup but no one can match the visuals of our group. Right Girls?" she looked at her group members, who followed after her. 

  " Yes. We are the official group. While they are just optional. They can't beat us." Rin Rin said confidently. 

  Wang Meili pursed her lips at her comment and smiled stiffly, "Well, I hope you perform as good as you talk. All the best." she patted her arm, and gestured to her to go up the stage. 

  Xu Nuan approached Wang Meili who was standing there alone and was watching her group. " Ms. Wang, thanks for your gift earlier. You saved me from the promotional planning." she crossed her arms in front of her and looked at the stage as the music started. 

  Wang Meili pursed her lips and said while looking at the stage, " What……what gift? I don't know what you are talking about." she pretended ignorance. 

  Xu Nuan smirked, " Well, since you gave me a gift, it's right for me to give you a one as well, right?" she asked suggestively, making Wang Meili turn to look at her in puzzlement. 

  " The game hasn't ended yet, Ms. Wang!" she winked at her, making Wang Meili frown.
