Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Shanchu held the marble and gave it a flick. She managed to hit the target on the first try.
Her sisters were all very supportive.
“Wow, you hit it!” “Sister, you’re amazing.”
“Do another one.”
Her sisters were all charming sweet talkers. It was hard for Lin Shanchu not to feel flustered.
As Xia Jinmeng watched from afar, jealousy painted across her eyes.
Ever since the beginning, she had always been the most beloved contestant among the trainees in this program.
As if stealing first place wasn’t enough, Lin Shanchu even went and stole the attention of the other trainees away from her.
Xia Jinmeng finally understood why Tang Qidai was so eager to get rid of Lin Shanchu.
This crazy woman had such a strong influence.
When she first joined the program, everyone was waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
In the end, Lin Shanchu seemed to have turned on a cheat.
Tang Qidai was wary of Lin Shanchu for a reason.
There must be a reason why Lu Shiyuan didn’t want Lin Shanchu to call off the engagement.
Even though Xia Jinmeng did not even touch the corner of Lu Shiyuan’s shirt, she already felt a sense of danger.
Xia Jinmeng even had an inexplicable intuition. As long as Lin Shanchu was willing, she could snatch Lu Shiyuan back at any time.
Perhaps Lin Shanchu was a stronger opponent than Tang Qidai.
Once the trainees were well rested, they started returning to the training room one by one.
Lin Shanchu also planned to return to the training room.
Just as she was about to get up and leave, she noticed a shadow hovering over her.
She looked up to see Wen Tongtong standing there.
“What’s the matter?” Lin Shanchu asked as she stood up.
“Xia Jinmeng had been standing there and staring at you the whole time just now.” Wen Tongtong’s gaze was fixed on the spot behind Lin Shanchu where Xia Jinmeng used to be.
Xia Jinmeng had already left.
There was no one there.
Lin Shanchu smiled and said, “I know.”
Before Wen Tongtong could even move her lips to say something else, she was interrupted by Lin Shanchu.
“I’m going back to the training room now. Goodbye.” Wen Tongtong was worried.
She understood what kind of character Xia Jinmeng had.
Judging from Xia Jinmeng’s expression just now, she must be plotting something on Lin Shanchu.
Lin Shanchu should beware of Xia Jinmeng, right?
Since tomorrow was recording day, everyone went to bed early that night.
They all woke up early the next morning too.
As soon as Lin Shanchu walked out of the dormitory, she bumped into Xia Jinmeng in the corridor.
“Good morning!” Lin Shanchu greeted her with a smile.
Xia Jinmeng fell silent for a moment before replying dryly, “Morning.”
Once Xia Jinmeng finished speaking, she walked past Lin Shanchu without even looking at her.
“Wait a minute.”
Lin Shanchu’s voice rang out from behind her.
Xia Jinmeng stopped in her tracks out of reflex.
Lin Shanchu slowly walked up to Xia Jinmeng and reached toward her neck.
Xia Jinmeng stepped back in fear.
But Lin Shanchu’s movements were faster and she had already grabbed Xia Jinmeng by the collar.
Just as Xia Jinmeng’s heart was beginning to burn with anger, Lin Shanchu spoke at the right time, ‘Your collar is wrinkled.”
She gently helped Xia Jinmeng adjust her collar, her soft tone was not threatening at all.
Xia Jinmeng had been paying close attention to Lin Shanchu during this period to imitate her.
Lin Shanchu only looked gentle on the outside, but she was quite cold when she interacted with the trainees.
The only person she appeared more comfortable with was Yun Wu.
Now she was suddenly going around helping people adjust their collars?
Lin Shanchu was acting so strangely… Could it be that she found out about something?
Xia Jinmeng felt a little guilty and evaded Lin Shanchu’s gaze. She pushed her away and said, “I’ll do it myself.”
Lin Shanchu retreated obediently as she observed Xia Jinmeng’s expression.
This young sprout was up to no good again.
Lin Shanchu had invested so much effort into this sprout. As long as she did not go too far, she would continue to nourish her with patience.
But if she went too far…
Well, then things would be uncertain.
After all, not every sprout could grow into a big tree.
“Shanshan.”
Yun Wu came out of the dormitory as well.
Xia Jinmeng took this opportunity to turn around and leave.
When Jiang Ziyu handled his matters, he was always very cautious. When he tricked Xia Jinmeng into going to the director’s office yesterday, no one even noticed she was gone.
If Lin Shanchu knew something was up, she would have taken action yesterday.
Thinking of this, Xia Jinmeng relaxed.
Lin Shanchu met Ji Yuan in the cafeteria.
They were going to record today, so he came early and took the opportunity to have a meal with the girls.
Ji Yuan grabbed a tray and sat down in front of Lin Shanchu, asking, “Sister Lin, guess who the guest joining your group is?”
“It can’t be you, right?” Ran Zhimo asked.
Ji Yuan smiled and didn’t answer.
Lin Shanchu glanced at Ji Yuan and said, “It definitely won’t be you.”
“Why can’t it be me?”
“If the answer was so obvious, you wouldn’t have asked,” Lin Shanchu replied.
Ji Yuan was speechless.
The other teammates curiously approached them, “Teacher Ji, who is the guest partner for our group?”
“I heard they have strong abilities, but I don’t know exactly who he is. I haven’t gotten the name list vet.”
Ji Yuan turned to Lin Shanchu and said regretfully, “Sister Lin, I wanted to collaborate with you, but President Nan won’t give me a chance.” “Why?” Lin Shanchu asked.
“I asked him and he said ‘I will do it next time’.” Ji Yuan sighed.
Nan Mu was a senior manager turned boss, so of course, he had his considerations in every decision.
As a rising star in Tianzhou Media, Ji Yuan collaborating with Lin Shanchu’s group would be a win-win situation.
But despite Ji Yuan taking the initiative to ask, the idea was still rejected.
This meant that the guest partner for Lin Shanchu’s group was truly influential.
At least, much more than Ji Yuan.
The live broadcast began at 9 am sharp.
“Please have all team members return to the training room and wait for their guest of honor.”
Lin Shanchu was lined at the back of the group.
Suddenly, her teammate at the front screamed in surprise upon entering the room.
“Wow!”
“What’s wrong?”
“There’s cake and flowers!”
“Can we eat the cake?”
“The flowers are so beautiful!”
“Are they for us?”
Four bouquets were placed beside four servings of cake.
They were delicate, beautiful and emitted a fragrant aroma.
No girl wouldn’t like them.
Although the guest was nowhere to be seen, the teammates already had a good impression of him.
Ran Zhimo found a small card with her name on it in the bouquet, “There’s a card included.”
Three other team members also found the cards with their names on them.
However, there was no card in the last remaining bouquet.
Everyone looked at Lin Shanchu in confusion.
The guest had written cards for all of them except Lin Shanchu.
“Did he forget to write yours?” Ran Zhimo asked.
“No,” Lin Shanchu calmly picked up the remaining bouquet, “He deliberately didn’t write one for me.”
“What do you mean?” Everyone was puzzled.
“The person who prepared the flowers and cakes for us is very meticulous. He wouldn’t make such a mistake.”
Not only was it not a mistake, it might even be something that caught her attention.
At this moment, a teammate was surprised to find that everyone’s flowers and cakes were of different colors.
“They are each of our respective support colors..”
