Chapter 40
Chapter 40
“Although Huo Xunzhou is quite handsome, I already have someone I like.” Yun Wu’s face turned red as she spoke.
She even became embarrassed.
Lin Shanchu’s mood was very complicated.
It seemed that she had completely messed up the plot of the original novel.
As the two conversed, Nan Mu’s group had already made their way over.
Nan Mu knew that Lin Shanchu had prepared a song for the upcoming assessment stage.
He was surprised to see Yun Wu there. “Are you two practicing together?”
“We’re performing as a group,” Yun Wu explained.
“Hmm? Oh, as a group…” Nan Mu looked at Lin Shanchu with an expression that said ‘I can’t believe someone would actually team up with you’.
Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and emphasized on her answer. “That’s right. We’re teaming up!”
Just how unpopular did Nan Mu think she was?
Nan Mu realized that Lin Shanchu must have seen through his thoughts. He awkwardly cleared his throat before deliberately calling Yun Wu to the side to speak to her. With that, he created an opportunity for Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu to speak in private.
Huo Xunzhou was so lucky to have such a thoughtful and sensible friend.
Li Mo greeted Lin Shanchu warmly, “Ms. Lin.”
Lin Shanchu’s gaze shifted from Li Mo to Huo Xunzhou. “Why are you guys here?”
“Nan Mu asked Big Brother to come,” Li Mo replied.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Huo Xunzhou, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke.
“Why aren’t you singing anymore?”
“Since I’m already here, I just wanted to try this out.”
Lin Shanchu smiled.
When she smiled, she looked innocent and didn’t look like she had been wronged at all. She really looked like a carefree young lady who had been pampered her whole life.
Huo Xunzhou didn’t say anything more and motioned for Li Mo to leave.
Lin Shanchu was a little disappointed.
She thought that Huo Xunzhou would wish her luck.
It seemed like he didn’t think she could dance either.
Once they were out of the practice room, Huo Xunzhou asked Nan Mu, “Is there an emergency doctor on duty 24 hours a day?”
Lin Shanchu’s physical condition was very worrying.
He had seen that perfect backflip.
This was only the beginning.
In the next three months, there would be a lot of high-intensity training and movements. Lin Shanchu’s body would not be able to take it.
However, he was in no position to stop her.
“Of course, I’ve already arranged for him to be here,” Nan Mu replied.
“Arrange for two more,” Huo Xunzhou said. contemporary romance
“Oh,” Nan Mu replied.
Although he didn’t know why, he would just do as his boss said.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the first assessment stage.
The production had enjoyed the benefits of the livestream of the members’ first gathering, so they informed the students a few days in advance that the first assessment stage would also be on a livestream.
The night before the assessment stage, the lights in the practice room were on all night.
Influenced by the atmosphere, Lin Shanchu went back to the dormitory to practice for a little longer.
She had been sleeping very well these days.
When she was too tired from her daily practice, she would fall asleep as soon as she collapsed on the bed.
Just as she was sleeping dazily, she heard Yun Wu calling her.
“Lin Shanchu.”
“Hmm?”
“After the assessment ends tomorrow, we’ll be officially joining the production crew’s training camp.”
“Yeah.”
“The dorms will be redistributed by then.”
“Yeah.”
Lin Shanchu waited for a long time, but Yun Wu did not speak again.
Just when she thought that Yun Wu had fallen asleep, the latter suddenly harrumphed angrily.
Why did she suddenly get angry?
“Yun Wu?”
The only sound that responded to Lin Shanchu was the sound of someone turning around on the bed and pulling the blanket over.
“I’m asleep!” Yun Wu’s muffled voice came from under the blanket.
Not only was this young girl talkative, but she was also quite emotional.
…
The next day was Saturday.
The livestream and recording of the first assessment started at two o’clock in the afternoon.
After Lin Shanchu finished her breakfast, she was reminded by Yun Wu’s huge appetite. Then, she grabbed two cartons of yogurt.
When she passed by the door of the training room, many members were still training vigorously.
Lin Shanchu looked inside and stopped in her tracks.
She saw the girl who had taken the initiative to talk to her on the day Qiao Jiaxi had apologized.
The girl was a very unique sweet girl. She had charming dimples whenever she smiled, making her look as cute as a female lead from Japanese anime.
She noticed that the girl was still wearing the clothes from last night and looked a little haggard.
She had clearly practiced for an entire night.
That girl was definitely hardcore.
Thump!
At this moment, the girl fell to the ground.
Lin Shanchu quickly walked in and helped the girl up.
“An Youyun?”
An Youyun’s weak voice was tinged with a hint of surprise. “You know my name?”
“I heard others call you that.” Lin Shanchu was actually not sure if this was her real name.
An Youyun smiled, revealing her cute dimples.
Lin Shanchu resisted the urge to poke her dimples. She took out a carton of yogurt, inserted the straw, and handed it to her. “You’re too tired. The recording will starst this afternoon, so take a break.”
An Youyun accepted the yogurt with both hands and thanked her obediently. “Thank you, Big Sister.”
She was too cute.
An Youyun took two sips of yogurt and regained some strength. She said pitifully, “I’m bad at dancing. I’m afraid that I might drag down my older sisters from the same company, so I can only practice hard.”
“You’re already doing your best.” Lin Shanchu felt a little ashamed. Compared to An Youyun, she didn’t put in much effort at all.
“Yun Wu’s here.” An Youyun glanced at the door.
She often saw Lin Shanchu practicing with Yun Wu, so she knew that they had formed a group.
“Good luck.” Lin Shanchu got up and went to find Yun Wu.
Yun Wu Huan crossed her arms and walked quickly.
Lin Shanchu called out to her a few times, but she did not respond.
It was not until they reached a corner that Yun Wu turned around angrily. “I knew it! You definitely have another younger sister behind my back!”
Speechless, Lin Shanchu felt like a husband who just cheated on his wife.
“You even brought her yogurt!” Yun Wu continued to complain.
Lin Shanchu was silent for a moment, then took out another carton of yogurt from her pocket and handed it to Yun Wu.
Yun Wu was delighted. “So you still love me!”
Lin Shanchu finally came to her senses. “You were angry last night. Was it because I didn’t say that I would stay in the same dormitory as you after the assessment?”
“Yeah…” Yun Wu replied awkwardly.
Lin Shanchu laughed and reached out to pat her head. “After the rating is released, I can only choose my dorm according to my level. I may not be able to share a dormitory with you.”
“Then I’ll choose the dorm with the most beds. Then, you’ll have to come with me,” Yun Wu said after some thought.
Lin Shanchu felt that something was wrong. “Why can’t I choose the dorm first? Do you think I can’t get an A rating?”
There were five initial ratings – A, B, C, D, and F.
“Nope! Absolutely no way!” Yun Wu shook her head frantically.
…
At two o’clock in the afternoon.
The livestream of the show started on time.
The members entered the venue one after another.
The seats in the studio were arranged in the form of staircases. The higher one went, the fewer seats there were. The highest row only had one seat.
Half of the members entered, but the seats were still empty.
The comments all said,
[I’m dying of laughter right now. No one dares to sit at the very top.]
[That’s the central position. Who would dare to sit there casually?]
[I’ll bet one cent that Xia Jinmeng will be the one to take that seat.]
