Chapter 156: A Major Illness Can Be Considered an Unforeseeable Event

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Shanchu turned to face her other four teammates who were standing in a row.

All her teammates simultaneously gave her a kind smile.

At this moment, they noticed another contestant charging towards them.

Including Ran Zhimo, the other four teammates quickly waved their hands and said, “We’re all full here, you can go find another team!”

The contestant left in disappointment.

The production crew also noticed that Lin Shanchu’s team was complete and quickly switched the camera angle to them.

Lin Shanchu and her four teammates exchanged glances before she suddenly asked in a serious tone, “Were you guys kidnapped by the production crew?”

If they weren’t kidnapped by the program crew, she couldn’t understand why the other teammates, apart from Ran Zhimo, would voluntarily join her team. The director defended from behind, shouting, “Lin Shanchu, our program is open and fair.”

Comment section:

[Lin Shanchu dares to say anything.]

[She forced the director to justify himself.]

[Seeing as how they didn’t flinch, they weren’t kidnapped.]

[If I were them, I would also be willing to join Lin Shanchu’s group.]

[Yeah, Lin Shanchu is popular, so she’ll get more screen time. But she can’t rap, so the audience will pay attention to her teammates…]

The teammates all shook their heads simultaneously.

“We all joined voluntarily.”

“We like rap.”

“Yes, yes, yes. We also like Lin Shanchu a lot.”

As Lin Shanchu looked at these sincere smiling faces, she finally realized what was going on.

In the previous few episodes, no one dared to choose her because they had little interaction with her and know her well enough. They were afraid that she wouldn’t be able to keep up with them and drag them down.

But now, they were more than halfway through the show. Everyone had a good understanding of what Lin Shanchu’s personality was like.

She was popular and easy to get along with.

Although she was Lu Shiyuan’s fiancée, she was not pretentious at all. She would work hard during training just like everyone else.

They also realized the popularity of the trainees who had been paired up with Lin Shanchu in the previous two matches also rose.

And in talent shows, popularity was king.

After the three selections, the competition would become increasingly fierce and everyone had to give their all to showcase themselves.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have a chance to move on.

Plus, this time, since Lin Shanchu couldn’t rap, this performance was riding on the performance of the other four teammates.

Who wouldn’t want to grab this free publicity opportunity?

The selection process quickly came to an end.

Comment section:

[Can the production crew broadcast the entire process this time? Honestly, I’m looking forward to seeing Lin Shanchu’s rap. Hahaha.]

[Do you want to see Lin Shanchu rap or do you just want to watch a pretty girl make a fool of herself?]

[I want to see it too.]

[Me too. I wish the production crew were looking at these comments.] The recording ended successfully after the first round of selections.

The real-time discussions and viewership ratings were so high the director was smiling ear to ear.

The trainees returned to the training room as the production crew packed up their equipment.

When Lin Shanchu walked past the director, he looked at her cheerfully and said, “Good luck.”

Lin Shanchu stopped in her tracks.

She panned her focus to the director with a grave expression.

The director was stunned, “What’s wrong?” “I’m sick,” Lin Shanchu said seriously.

“Huh?”

“I’m seriously ill.”

The director was at a loss for words.

“A major illness can be considered an unforeseeable event,” she continued.

“What are you trying to do?” The director started to panic.

“It’s written in the contract that in the event of an unforeseen circumstance.

you are allowed to freely withdraw from the show.”

The director’s hair was standing on end at this point, “Don’t simply say things like that. It’s not my decision to make.”

He then gestured to Ran Zhimo, “Quickly, bring your captain to training.”

As Lin Shanchu was being dragged away, she still turned her head back to shout, “I really have an illness!”

Their instructor had already been waiting for them in the training room.

This time, it was Bai Yu who came to instruct them.

Once she saw Lin Shanchu dragging herself in, she couldn’t help but chuckle.

Poor Lin Shanchu.

This time, the workload had increased.

They needed to create a new choreography for ‘Island in the Sky’.

Bai Yu asked everyone for their ideas on it.

Once everyone’s turn to share their thoughts ended, they all turned to look at Lin Shanchu.

Everyone knew that Lin Shanchu didn’t want to participate in this, but teamwork was necessary when they were performing on stage. So of course, they still needed to listen to Lin Shanchu’s opinion.

Even as she was under everyone’s gaze, Lin Shanchu could only stare obliviously with an expression that indicated that she wasn’t dead or alive.

“Life is like a bubble, it bursts with a blow. Some stay arrogant and the cold-hearted flow. Others break the altar, unleashing the darkness. One thought turns demonic, they leave their mark, regardless.”

Perhaps it was because she was slurring in such a negative tone, but the way she recited it so slowly sent shivers down everyone’s spine.

The training room fell into a brief silence.

“Were those lyrics impromptu?” Bai Yu was the first to break the silence.

“Yes,” Lin Shanchu still sounded dead as ever

Bai Yu couldn’t help but laugh.

Lin Shanchu let out a sigh of despair, leaned back, and leaned against the wall with a lack of enthusiasm.

His face had ‘I want to escape, but I can’t’ written all over it.

The cameraman had been secretly directing the camera at Lin Shanchu this whole time, filming her as he giggled behind the scene.

Lin Shanchu usually carried a gentle smile on her face wherever she went, so this look of despair was a stark contrast from her usual self.

Her teammates had also never seen this side of Lin Shanchu and couldn’t help but find it entertaining.

Bai Yu quickly gave her guiding tips and left.

The team gathered together to discuss their choreography.

Although everyone was mainly focused on the popularity and screen time they would have, they didn’t want to neglect Lin Shanchu in the process.

They decided to gather around her to discuss.

They were also considerate of Lin Shanchu’s emotions and asked for her opinion on everything they discussed.

Although Lin Shanchu knew nothing about rap, she had a basic sense of appreciation for it.

Whenever there was a debate among the group, she would be the one to conclude.

Once everyone was satisfied with the idea, Ran Zhimo suggested, “Should we try practicing?”

Everyone glanced at Lin Shanchu once again.

“Sure, let’s try.” Lin Shanchu perked up and decided to cooperate.

Ran Zhimo took the lead, and soon everyone got into the groove.

When the practice session, everyone praised Lin Shanchu.

“Not bad, President Lin.”

“Yeah, she did pretty well. With more practice, she’ll definitely impress them.”

“Go, Captain!”

Lin Shanchu denied them, “Guys, you don’t have to be so modest. I know I was offbeat and everything throughout the whole practice.”

Lin Shanchu knew that they were trying to encourage her.

Ran Zhimo comforted her, “It’s alright, there’s still time to improve.”

Lin Shanchu nodded.

Then she stood up and said, “I’m going to the restroom..”
