“What do we do now? I haven’t finished my makeup yet!”

Meng Yan was both angry and anxious, dropping her lipstick in frustration and reaching for her phone to call the person in charge of the competition.

But Ruan Ning intervened just in time. “Don’t make the call just yet.”

Impatiently, Meng Yan said, “I haven’t finished my makeup, and I have to go on stage later to receive the award. I still need to hurry to meet Master Si! Isn’t this power outage delaying my affairs?”

Ruan Ning calmly advised, “Don’t you know which company is responsible for building this competition venue?”

Meng Yan paused for a moment, her mind slow to react. “Who is it? Do you know them?”

Ruan Ning felt a bit speechless.

She stood up and, using the faint light from the phone screen, walked slowly behind Meng Yan. With cold fingertips, she casually scrolled through her phone and pulled up the promotional poster for the competition, pointing to a corner. “It’s the Mei Corporation.”

Meng Yan suddenly realized, “So you mean, the longer this stage accident delays, the worse it will be for Mei Shu to be attacked?”

Ruan Ning smiled knowingly. “We need to add fuel to the fire.”

“Understood!” Meng Yan usually had a slow mind, but she was quite talented when it came to doing bad things. She immediately opened her social media app and edited a post on her official account, attaching a photo of the dark makeup room.

“Currently touching up my makeup for the next performance. Suddenly, all the lights in the building went out. I’m worried it will affect the performance.”

“Okay, sent!”

After typing the message, she sent it out.

Meng Yan had some fame online, and after deliberately spreading the word, many people quickly realized that the power outage at the venue was not the result of the performers’ design but rather an unexpected stage accident that should not have occurred in such a big competition.

Fans of the competition participants immediately began sharing the post, demanding an explanation from the official.

The Mei Corporation quickly became a hot topic.

Meng Yan and Ruan Ning, who were behind the scenes, exchanged a smile, both waiting to see Mei Shu’s embarrassment later.

However, on the stage at this moment, the unexpected power outage brought about an unexpected effect on Lin He’s performance.

Lin He was very clever; she had the lucky audience member she picked illuminate the stage with his phone flashlight.

For a moment, the stage seemed to become her own exclusive garden, where she danced like a white swan, swaying in the pond, graceful and elegant.

From the sudden blackout and the surrounding darkness, which she deliberately expressed as the fear typical of small animals, to later soothing the audience’s hearts with gentle and tranquil dances, the entire performance was unprecedentedly brilliant.

The lucky audience member on stage had been facing away from the audience the whole time, illuminated by the lights, leaving only a dark silhouette for everyone else. This seemed to symbolize that the swan was not dancing just for that person alone but for every audience member present.

Never had a dance performance made people feel so immersed.

The audience unwittingly became a part of the dance, and what moved each of them was only the pure and innocent white swan on the stage.

“It’s time.” Tang Mei, while watching the stage monitor, gave the command.

Jiang He and Jiang Hai glanced at each other and immediately followed the original plan, turning on the new machinery. In an instant, the power in the entire building was restored, the lights suddenly came on, and the white swan on stage reached the finale.

The dawn had come, and it was time for the beautiful fairy tale to awaken.

With reluctance, Lin He’s white swan bid farewell to the audience and exited the stage.

Many people were moved to tears at this scene.

For them, Lin He’s swan was not just a character portrayed in a dance; it was their redemption.

In the midst of the darkness filled with panic, she was the only one carrying a faint light, using her dance to soothe the frantic heartbeat of everyone.

It had to be said that this performance made many people develop an extraordinary affection for Lin He.

As the fairy tale drew to a close, there was only the sound of sobbing in the venue, and not a single person applauded.

But sometimes, a perfect performance doesn’t necessarily need thunderous applause to conclude. Every tear shed by the audience was a confirmation of Lin He’s extraordinary talent.

Feng Mo, like the other ordinary spectators, remained stunned for a long time. At this moment, Lin He was no longer just a talented student and daughter in her eyes; she acknowledged Lin He as a true dancer.

The judges’ seats were the first to break into firm and crisp applause, followed by the audience below, who, while crying in self-reproach, were reluctant to stop the applause. They clapped desperately for a full ten minutes until the host came on stage to interrupt them, and only then did they stop clapping.

Mei Shu didn’t expect Lin He’s performance to be so successful. She stood up excitedly from her chair, ignoring Lu Si’s attempts to stop her. This time, no matter what, she had to personally go backstage to meet Lin He.
