The next day
The morning sunlight shattered the quiet of the base.
According to the rules, the 55 trainees who remained and the 7 auditors all went to attend their classes.
Meanwhile, Lin Jiayi and the others, under the urging of the staff, packed their belongings and walked out of the base.
As they looked back at the towering building one last time, everyone's eyes were filled with tears.
This chapter of their dream-chasing journey had come to an end. Over a month of surreal and dreamy living now felt like a passing illusion.
Everyone boarded the bus, and the atmosphere inside was suffocatingly heavy.
Soon, someone noticed something unusual. "Where are we heading?"
Only then did everyone snap out of it and look out the window—the bus was driving toward the suburbs.
"Are we heading to the airport, and then just going our separate ways?" Li Tiange joked.
"Probably not—they wouldn't make us perform again, right? Promote the program?" Wang Yumeng chuckled.
