Chapter 79 - 79: You Should Beg Properly

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The system was silent for a moment before answering very seriously, [Would you believe me if I said that the spotlight was too bright and affected my performance?]

“I believe you,” Lin Shanchu replied.

The system was touched. [So, you still trust me!]

Lin Shanchu ruthlessly broke its fantasy. “You couldn’t do much even if Huo Xunzhou weren’t here.”

The system was speechless.

It also felt insulted.

It began to carefully recall what it had done for Lin Shanchu during this period of time.

After thinking for a long time, it realized that it did not help Lin Shanchu at all.

So, it stopped talking.

It completely shut down on its own. There was a knock on the door.

“Come in.”

The door was pushed open, and the director came in.

He brought a few staff members with him. Wen Tongtong followed the group from behind.

“Are you all right?” The director walked over and asked anxiously.

The key element of popularity was still fine when she was recording the program in the morning. Why did she suddenly faint and end up in the infirmary…

It was quite worrying.

“I won’t die for the time being.” Lin Shanchu’s mouth twitched.

She leaned lazily on the bed while looking very lifeless.

The director’s expression changed. “You’re the key element of popularity in this show! You can’t die!”

Lin Shanchu was speechless.

She Imew that it was impossible for the director, who only had eyes for viewership ratings, to care about her.

“I’m fine. I can hold on till the first public showdown. You should leave.” Lin Shanchu found him annoying and waved him away.

“I’m relieved to hear that.” The director also felt weirded out. He would subconsciously believe whatever Lin Shanchu said to him.

The staff members asked about Lin Shanchu’s health for a bit before leaving with the director.

In the end, only Wen Tongtong was left.

“Are you really all right?” she asked as she walked to the bed.

Lin Shanchu said without much emotion, “Don’t worry, I won’t let our performance crumble.”

Wen Tongtong was worried that Lin Shanchu’s poor health would affect the rehearsal.

When Wen Tongtong turned to leave, she stopped after taking two steps.

“I went to the washroom just now and saw Xia Jinmeng and Yun Wu talking and laughing together,” she said with a complicated expression.

“Oh,” Lin Shanchu replied.

Wen Tongtong frowned. “Aren’t you…”

“Is there anything else?” Lin Shanchu asked.

“Xia Jinmeng has always found you an eyesore. She must have sought Yun Wu out to continue messing with you. Aren’t you worried at all? ” Lin Shanchu’s calm reaction made Wen Tongtong a little angry.

Lin Shanchu seemed to have always been like this.

No matter what happened, she could deal with it calmly.

To put it bluntly, she didn’t care about anything or anyone.

She seemed gentle and polite to everyone, but in reality, she was extremely arrogant and arrogant. It made people jealous of her.

Lin Shanchu moved around so that she could change her posture. “Xia Jinmeng hates you more than she hates me now that we’re in the same group. You should worry about yourself.”

“I’m your groupmate. If something happens to me, can our group still rehearse for the show?” Seeing as her thoughts were exposed, Wen Tongtong threatened Lin Shanchu immediately.

Lin Shanchu did not buy it.

“It’s easier to make group formations with five people.”

“You…”

“You should beg properly.”

The reason why Wen Tongtong joined Lin Shanchu’s team was not that she had a change of heart and decided to side with justice.

Instead, it was because she had fallen out with Xia Jinmeng, who had connections with many students. Wen Tongtong would definitely be isolated and targeted if she went to another group.

Although she had been frightened by Lin Shanchu before, when she thought about how Lin Shanchu was willing to help a total newbie like Ning Yunxi, she felt that Lin Shanchu and Xia Jinmeng were different.

Therefore, she came to Lin Shanchu to seek protection.

She thought that she had hidden it well, but she did not expect Lin Shanchu to see through it all.

Wen Tongtong lowered her head in embarrassment. “I won’t cause you any trouble. I just want to carry out my performance properly.”

She lowered her stance. Her tone was much more sincere.

“Make good use of your time to practice.” Lin Shanchu originally just wanted Wen Tongtong to show her attitude.

Compared to Lu Shiyuan, Wen Tongtong’s little tricks were nothing. When Wen Tongtong went out, she bumped into Yun Wu.

“Lin Shanchu!”

Yun Wu didn’t look at Wen Tongtong as she rushed to the bedside.

“I just heard that you fainted in the training room! ” She and Lin Shanchu were not in the same training room, so her news was a little outdated.

“I’m probably a little tired from practicing too rigorously, but I’m fine now.” Lin Shanchu glanced at the clock on the wall. It was time to return to the training room.

Yun Wu helped her off the bed. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She was relieved to see Lin Shanchu doing fine.

“I saw Wen Tongtong just now. She’s actually starting to care about you. Has she turned over a new leaf?”

“Do you think Wen Tongtong is a bad person?” Lin Shanchu asked with a smile.

“Isn’t that the case?” Yun Wu was puzzled.

Lin Shanchu’s gaze deepened. “People will always do something shady for their own interests. There are no absolute good or bad people in this world.”

“Let’s not talk about her.” Yun Wu did not understand a single word. “Anyway, I know you won’t do anything to hurt others.”

Lin Shanchu stopped in her tracks. Then, she asked in a serious tone, ‘What if

I’ve done that?”

“Is there a possibility that you feel that you’ve hurt the other party, but the other party doesn’t feel that you’ve hurt them?” Yun Wu thought about it seriously.

The other party didn’t feel hurt…?

Lin Shanchu had pretended to fall into Huo Xunzhou’s arms, so she felt guilty for lying to him.

Huo Xunzhou did look very angry at that time.

However, after she confessed, he wasn’t angry anymore. He even laughed.

The things that he said afterward seemed to be acquiescing to her “riding off the popularity” actions.

Her thoughts were all over the place.

She couldn’t help but think of the “good thing” that she had done out of infatuation in the end.

“What are you thinking about?” Yun Wu stretched out her hand and waved in front of Lin Shanchu.

“It’s nothing.” Lin Shanchu hurriedly shook her head.

“But you’re blushing.” Yun Wu poked Lin Shanchu’s face.

“It’s hot,” Lin Shanchu replied expressionlessly.

Yun Wu glanced at the air conditioner. “It’s 18 degrees…”

“You’ll be my favorite little sister if you don’t speak up.” Lin Shanchu used her ultimate move.

Yun Wu shut up immediately and even made a zipping gesture near her lips. She widened her eyes cutely while trying to show Lin Shanchu just how obedient she was.

When the two of them went to their respective training rooms and separated, Yun Wu pointed to her lips once again.

Lin Shanchu laughed. “Go ahead.”

Yun Wu was a stickler for ritualistic gestures, so she made another zipping gesture near her lips. “Xia Jinmeng sought me out earlier…”

She told Lin Shanchu about Xia Jinmeng’s plan in detail.

After Lin Shanchu listened to everything, she was silent for two seconds.

“When the time comes, just follow her plan and take me there.”

“Okay.”

“I won’t be eating with you for the next few days.”

Yun Wu pouted, clearly unhappy with that. “Okay,” she said.

Lin Shanchu smiled and patted her head. “Good girl. I’ll cook for you when I have the chance. My cooking is very delicious..”
