âThank you.â
Lin Shanchu sincerely thanked Nan Mu from the bottom of her heart.
Ever since she joined the program, Nan Mu has always consulted with her about everything that has happened so far.
He was the best boss anyone could ever ask for.
âIn a few days, your guest partner for the performance will be here to train with you. At that time, the production crew will start a live broadcast and if you present a good attitude, the company will help to boost your publicity.â
Whenever Nan Mu talked about work, he would always be serious and spoke with caution.
After the training ended that night, a staff member came over with a bunny girl outfit for Lin Shanchu.
âHurry up and give it a try.â
Lin Shanchu peeped into the mouth of the bag.
It was just a pile of fluffy, white fur.
âIâll go back to the dormitory and take a shower before trying it on,â she said with a tone full of reluctance.
It was one thing to be willing to accept punishment.
But wearing something this provocative in front of so many people was another matter altogether.
âAlright, since your training is over, hurry up and take a shower,â the staff member was so eager, they looked as if they were about to help bring her outfit to the dormitory themselves.
The voice of her roommate suddenly emitted from the entrance of the training room.
âPresident Lin, weâre not in a hurry. You go wash up first.â
Lin Shanchu turned around and saw that all her roommates, including Yun Wu, were leaning against the door and smiling at her.
Wow. She couldnât be more thankful for their âthoughtfulnessâ.
Eventually, Lin Shanchu was escorted back to the dormitory with a group of girls herding behind her.
She entered the bathroom and closed the door. Then, she heard Ran Zhimoâs voice through the door.
âWhether you stay in there for an hour or ten hours, we will wait for you.â A burst of laughter followed.
Lin Shanchu, who had originally planned to stall for as long as she could, admitted, âYou win.â
After showering, Lin Shanchu put on the bunny girl outfit and stood in front of the mirror, mentally preparing herself.
After all, it was a legitimate program and the chosen clothes were reasonable in terms of size. It wasnât too inappropriate, ifâ¦
She ignored the ridiculously large fluffy rabbit ears on her head.
Ignore the tail behind.
And ignore basically every exaggerating, eye-catching accessory.
The group of nosy people outside was extremely shrewd.
They had been leaning against the bathroom door for a while and listening in. They didnât hear any water sounds or movement, so they knew that Lin Shanchu must have changed into her clothes.
âPresident Lin, come out quickly!â âSister, we know youâve changed your clothes. Come out quickly!â
âWeâll help you see if it fitsâ¦â âSister, donât be shy.â
âSister-
Each line was sweeter than the last.
Lin Shanchu took a deep breath.
Alright then.
She opened the door and walked out expressionlessly.
There was a moment of silence in the dormitory.
Lin Shanchu had a rosy complexion since she had just come out from the shower. The pink and white bunny girl outfit was a perfect compliment as if it was naturally made for her.
Her innocent face was an even better advantage in this situation. Even though she had a plain expression, she looked even purer, completely resembling a pitiful, timid little white rabbit that evoked sympathy.
Once the silence fadedâAhhhhhhhhhhh! ! â
âSuch a cute bunny girl!â
âI want to take photos! Whereâs my phone?â
âWake up, you donât have a phone! I donât have one too, huhuhuâ¦â
Who can resist this? Sister is so adorable.â
âSister? Thatâs my wifeâ¦â
There was a moment of silence.
Although Lin Shanchu looked approachable, friendly, and not distant in her interactions with others, somehow she always gives people a feeling of detachment.
Except for Yunwu and Ning Yunxi, who have already been eliminated, no one dares to speak too boldly in front of Lin Shanchu.
However, the term âwifeâ seemed to have unlocked some kind of taboo switch.
Regardless of whether they were familiar with Lin Shanchu or not, all of the girls started to refer to her as their wife.
âMy wife is so beautiful!â
âI want to touch my wifeâs rabbit ears.â
âI donât want to just touch her ears thoughâ¦â
Lin Shanchu considered herself a decent woman.
Yet, at this moment, she couldnât help but feel flushed.
Indeed, this was her punishment.
Some of the lecherous girls were starting to get restless, wanting to make a move.
However, Lin Shanchu had already gained enough experience in dealing with such situations.
âThe outfit fits well.â
Then, Lin Shanchu swiftly turned around, closed the door, and retreated into the bathroom.
Her sequence of actions was so smooth, the girls had no chance to take action.
The next day, Lin Shanchu started practicing the rabbit dance.
The production crew thoughtfully provided her with videos.
There were always trainees sneaking over, smiling cheekily at her, saying,
âSister, I know the rabbit dance. I can teach you.â
Lin Shanchu tried to maintain her image and rejected them politely, âThank you, but Iâll practice by myself.â
But up to a certain point, she grew tired of upholding that facade.
Whenever someone approached, she would ask with a cold face, âWhatâs your ranking? Have you mastered your performance for the third round?â
In terms of ranking, Lin Shanchu was first, with the other trainees following behind her.
What Lin Shanchu didnât expect was that as her attitude became colder, more people approached her.
Lin Shanchu, who had never made any friends, was puzzled by this.
Until Yun Wu came over.
Yunwu placed her hands behind her back, imitating the other trainees and speaking in a nasal voice.
âSister, I know the rabbit dance. I can teach you.â
Then, she tilted her head and pretended to be cute at Lin Shanchu.
Lin Shanchu just stared at her stupidly at first, but she couldnât help but laugh at the end.
Normally Yun Wu tends to act cool. But since she was young, watching her mock the other girls like this made her look adorable.
âWhy are you learning from them?â Lin Shanchu asked with a smile.
Yun Wu frowned in disappointment, âWhy is your reaction different?â âHuh?â
âThey told me you looked so cute when you told them off with a cold expressionâ¦â Yun Wu switched into her mockingly nasal voice, âWhatâs your ranking? Are you done practicing your performance for the third round?â
Lin Shanchu fell into contemplation.
After a while, she softly muttered, âAre they alright?â
Yunwu just battered her eyes at her and then replied in a nasal voice, âBut you look so cute in the bunny outfit!â
Lin Shanchu replied, âOh no. Itâs over. Yun Wu has been brainwashed.â
For the entire morning, the topic of discussion among the trainees was Lin Shanchu.
Yesterday, after seeing Lin Shanchu in the bunny costume, the crew members went back to take pictures. Even the production crew was looking forward to Lin Shanchuâs bunny dance tonight.
Word of this reached the directorâs ears.
The director visited various training rooms and found that everyone was indeed talking about it.
The director, who had been hitting a wall trying to find a way to increase the ratings every day, came up with a plan. He took out his phone and dialed Nan Muâs number.
âPresident Nan, I have a plan to skyrocket the popularity of the show.â
âWhat is it?â
âWhy donât we do a live broadcast of Lin Shanchuâs bunny dance tonight?â
âNo.â
Nan Mu refused without thinking.
Although Huo Xunzhou wasnât in Xu City right now, he would still be online.
Nan Mu could still tell the difference in importance between life and popularity..
