Chapter 80 - 80: Counterattack

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The intimate contact with Huo Xunzhou was really effective.

For the next two days, Lin Shanchu’s physical condition was very good.

As soon as she opened her eyes, the system reported her physical condition to her.

[Your health points are about to run out. Please complete missions as soon as possible to exchange for health points.]

Then, an alarm sounded.

Lin Shanchu carried her clothes while walking to the bathroom. ‘Will Huo

Xunzhou be here today?”

The system replied, [I can’t monitor the movements of the perfect character.] Lin Shanchu laughed at it. “Just say it if you don’t know where he is. There’s no need to beat around the bush and find excuses for yourself.”

The system was speechless. There was no way to refute Lin Shanchu.

If it were to collapse one day, Lin Shanchu would be the greatest contributor to its collapse.

As a professional system, it reminded Lin Shanchu, [Ji Yuan will be coming to the festival group today.]

“I see.” No wonder the system wanted her to have a romantic scandal with Ji Yuan.

When Lin Shanchu went to the cafeteria for breakfast, she heard someone mention that Ji Yuan had been invited to be a temporary assistant instructor.

She hadn’t eaten with Yun Wu for the past two days.

She was on her own during that period of time.

After a quick meal, she went to the training room.

When she pushed the door open, she realized that there was no one inside.

Lin Shanchu stood by the door and did not go in directly.

She felt that something was off.

After looking around, she finally realized what was wrong.

The position of the camera was not right.

There was an additional camera positioned directly opposite the door.

There must be a reason behind the production crew’s arrangement.

There was most likely someone behind the door.

Lin Shanchu clutched her stomach in response. She pretended to be unwell and was ready to head toward the washroom.

She did not forget to close the door behind her when she left.

Ji Yuan, who was hiding behind the door, was extremely puzzled. He asked the camera in a breathy whisper, “Why did she leave?”

The fans, who came to the live broadcast room to see Ji Yuan, were howling with laughter.

[Hahahaha! Poor Yuanyuan wasted his time hiding there!]

[I’ve never watched this show before, but I heard that Lin Shanchu is on the wild side.]

[Really? But she looks so gentle.]

[Be careful, Yuanyuan!]

“Forget it. Since no one is coming, I’ll go out and take a look,” Ji Yuan said as he opened the door.

Then, he mumbled to himself, “There’s no one here.”

At this moment, Lin Shanchu suddenly stuck out her head from the side. “Hey, Ji Yuan!”

Bam!

Ji Yuan, who was over 1.8 meters tall, was so frightened that he slammed into the door.

However, he only hit the brim of his cap, so his cap was knocked askew.

“Didn’t you leave already?” Ji Yuan was dumbfounded.

Lin Shanchu pointed to the extra camera position. “I thought there might be someone behind the door.”

Speechless, Ji Yuan felt that he was reduced to an idiot.

The commenters were laughing at Ji Yuan.

[Hahaha! Ji Yuan is so silly!]

[He hid for half an hour, but he ended up getting scared by the girl!]

[Guys, hurry up and edit the clip so that you can upload it on the net to embarrass Yuanyuan!]

[As expected of valedictorians. Not only is she smart, but she also reacts quickly.]

[How can you guys still laugh at this? Yuanyuan was so scared that he slammed his head on the door! My heart hurts for him!]

[I hate fake fans like you who feel bad for idols! Yuanyuan isn’t that weak! Wasn’t he just about to scare Lin Shanchu? Besides, he only hit the brim of the hat, not his head!]

“Hello, Mr. Ji Yuan, I’m Lin Shanchu.”

Lin Shanchu nodded slightly while greeting Ji Yuan.

“I know you!” Ji Yuan’s facial features were exquisite. His eyes were very bright when he smiled.

Nan Mu always had an eye for talent.

Ji Yuan’s appearance was naturally top-notch in the entertainment industry.

At this time, the other members had also returned to the training room one after another.

The system did not forget its previous task. [I don’t think Huo Xunzhou is coming today. Why don’t you try starting a romantic scandal with Ji Yuan?] Lin Shanchu ignored it.

[It’s simple like how you pretended to fall into Huo Xunzhou’s arms last time.] The system continued to persuade her.

“Heh.”

Lin Shanchu sneered and blocked the system.

As a new top celebrity, romantic scandals involving Ji Yuan would lower his business value.

At that time, he would lose a portion of his resources. Lu Shiyuan would definitely seize this opportunity to promote his celebrities and snatch Ji Yuan’s resources.

This was much more serious than being harassed by Ji Yuan’s fans.

If it wasn’t for the fact that the system had been particularly useless from the beginning, she would have suspected that it was a spy sent by Lu Shiyuan.

Ji Yuan was in charge of guiding the singing and dancing groups.

“Perform the dance for me.”

He stood in front of the group with a serious look on his face, which was completely different from the dumbfounded look he had when he was scared by Lin Shanchu and got his cap knocked off.

As he watched, his brows gradually furrowed.

Ji Yuan only spoke after everyone had finished dancing. “Have you guys been practicing hard these past two days?”

One of the groupmates looked in Lin Shanchu’s direction. “We did practice. It’s just that someone’s been in poor health recently and ended up delaying our progress…”

This groupmate was different from Wen Tongtong and Ning Yunxi. She joined Lin Shanchu’s group in the end because she had no choice.

She had always felt that Lin Shanchu was unprofessional. Hence, she was unconvinced that Lin Shanchu was deserving of first place. “Who are you referring to?” Ji Yuan asked despite knowing the answer.

“Everyone knows that,” the groupmate replied.

Wen Tong let out a sneer. “When did Lin Shanchu delay our progress other than the first day due to her health issues? You’re the worst dancer among us. No one pointed it out in front of you because they wanted to protect your pride. Did you seriously think you’re this good at dancing?”

The comments went wild.

[Did I miss something? Wen Tongtong is actually speaking up for Lin

Shanchu!]

[Um… Why am I shipping them already?]

[They’re all fighting amongst each other instead of working together. It’s impossible for them to perform well…]

Wen Tongtong’s teammate’s face turned beet red before draining to stark white. She refuted stubbornly, “Well, all of you defend Lin Shanchu!” As a straight man, Ji Yuan hated girl fights the most.

“Shut up and let your actions do the talking for you! You two can have a dance-off!”

Ji Yuan gestured for everyone to back off and make room for Lin Shanchu and the groupmate to have a dance-off.

Lin Shanchu had been in good health for the past two days, so she had been practicing seriously.

When she returned to the dormitory at night, Yun Wu would also secretly give her special treatment by mentoring her dance moves.

Her weak female lead aura was not worth mentioning in front of absolute strength.

Sometimes, Lin Shanchu felt that Yun Wu was the one who had the script for the female lead.

Therefore, when she and the groupmate battled it out, it was clear who was stronger.

The commenters were surprised.

[Lin Shanchu is awesome! She can perform the whole dance perfectly, not to mention her moves are on point!]

[ I’m starting to look forward to the performance of “Death of the Universe” during the first public showdown.

[Don’t get too cocky. This isn’t just Lin Shanchu’s performance; it’s a group performance.]

[That’s true. This teammate’s performance is quite bad…]

Ji Yuan immediately took out his phone and showed everyone the comments.

“Are you convinced?” he asked.

The groupmate nodded darkly.

“This is teamwork. Everyone has to work together.”

Ji Yuan put away his phone and started correcting the group’s movements.

After two rounds, Lin Shanchu could feel the obvious lack of physical strength,

Since there was a guest taking on the role of an assistant instructor, Huo Xunzhou the stage witness should make his appearance on the set.

However, it was already lunchtime, so why was he still nowhere to be seen? At this moment, Lin Shanchu caught a glimpse of Nan Mu standing at the door..
