Terminally Ill Female Lead Of An Angst Novel Went Rampant After Her Awakening-Chapter 43 - : Because I love you
Chapter 43: Because I love you
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The power of an invincible character was indeed extraordinary.
All Huo Xunzhou did was steady Lin Shanchu, and yet the pain was already gone from her system.
Since she was no longer in pain, she was in a good mood.
An Youyun watched as Lin Shanchu walked up the stands. She tilted her head and smiled at her. “Big sister, you’re amazing!”
The sight of An Youyun’s dimples made Lin Shanchu’s hands itch.
She thought of how numbered her days were, so she decided to not hold her desires back anymore.
She reached out and gently poked An Youyun’s dimples before revealing a satisfied expression. “Thank you,” she said.
An Youyun’s eyes widened in shock as she looked at her in confusion.
She was like a little kitten.
Lin Shanchu patted her head affectionately. “Good luck.” “Thanks.” An Youyun nodded shyly.
The next group to go on stage was Xia Jinmeng’s group.
Xia Jinmeng was sitting in the row in front of An Youyun, and the camera happened to cut over and captured this scene.
The comments kept appearing. [Did Lin Shanchu do what I’ve always wanted to do?]
[An’An is actually blushing!]
[Right now, I don’t know who to envy more.]
[Holy hell! I’m seriously loving their interactions!]
Xia Jinmeng’s company had organized a group of five for her, but the other members were obviously not as good as her.
They were purely here to make her look good.
The other members couldn’t keep up with Xia Jinmeng’s rhythm. Not only did they sing over each other, but they were also not synchronized.
The instructors frowned as they watched.
“How long have you been practicing together?” Xu An asked once the performance ended.
“We formed a temporary group and practiced together for a week,” Xia Jinmeng replied.
Qin Shuya had already picked up the microphone by then, so she said with a serious expression, “Many of the members have formed temporary groups. Everyone doesn’t have much time to get used to each other. Teamwork is very important, so you must learn how to cooperate.”
The comments agreed with her.
[Ms. Qin: Yeah. That’s right. I’m talking about the “Resentful Ghost” group.]
[Xia Jinmeng is actually very strong. She’s just being dragged down by her teammates.]
[Time to play the blame game.]
Qin Shuya played the good cop, so Xu An came out to play the bad cop.
“Xia Jinmeng, I’ve seen your performance before. You’re pretty good, so I’d like to give you a chance to score an additional test.”
More comments appeared.
[Is this the amazing Xia Jinmeng that people have been boasting about?] [I thought she was really good and could get an A straight away.]
[Xia Jinmeng, who is good at singing and dancing, is going to take an additional test just like Lin Shanchu, the bad singer and dancer?] [Don’t compare Lin Shanchu to our Mengmeng. She’s not worthy!]
[She’s indeed unworthy. Your Mengmeng will be self-abased.]
Xia Jinmeng accepted the opportunity to take the additional test.
After all, she had been a trainee overseas for many years, which meant she was still skilled to a certain degree.
After the additional test, she successfully got an A.
Her fans were spamming the comments like crazy. [Mengmeng, you’re the best! You deserve the A rank!]
When Xia Jinmeng returned to her seat, she avoided the camera and glared at Lin Shanchu coldly.
Lin Shanchu supported her cheek with one hand while glancing at Xia Jinmeng.
How had she offended Xia Jinmeng?
Was there such a name in the original novel?
Lin Shanchu thought for a long time but could not remember, so she summoned the useless system.
“Is there a character named Xia Jinmeng in the original novel?”
The system replied, [ Xia Jinmeng, Tang Qidai, and Qiao Jiaxi are good friends.
She didn’t have any interactions with you in the original novel.]
Lin Shanchu replied, “Is it because I’m not following the plot, so the plot starts developing sentient thoughts and branching out on its own?” The system said, [That’s probably… right.]
Lin Shanchu asked, “What has Lu Shiyuan been doing lately?”
[He’s thinking of a way to become a sponsor for the show.]
Lin Shanchu huffed, “He’s getting crazier by the minute. To think that he’s willing to pay his rivals just so he can get his hands on me…” [He does that because he loves you,] the system defended.
Lin Shanchu snorted. “That’s bullsh*t.”
The system scolded, [Female leads of sadistic novels can’t curse.]
“Get lost!” Lin Shanchu retorted.
The system only replied with a sad emoji.
The recording continued.
Two A-rankers appeared soon after.
One of them was An Youyun.
It was already nighttime when the recording ended.
Everyone was exhausted.
They had to be assigned to new dormitories.
Those with high ratings had priority in choosing their dormitories. This was also an unwritten rule of talent shows.
There were double rooms, four-person rooms, six-person rooms, and twelve-person rooms.
Naturally, the fewer people there were, the more comfortable it would be.
The rest of the A-rankers did not hesitate to choose two-person rooms for themselves.
Yun Wu was the only one heading toward the twelve-person room.
She took two steps while dragging her suitcase before turning back to grab Lin Shanchu’s suitcase. Then, she ran away quickly.
Lin Shanchu was speechless.
The commenters were confused as well.
[Why did Boss Yun snatch Lin Shanchu’s suitcase from her?]
[If I’m understanding this correctly, she probably wants to stay in the same dorm as Lin Shanchu.]
[I’m laughing so much right now. Boss Yun can be quite immature sometimes.]
[Guys, I really love the idea of Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu being a couple.]
[Why is it Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu instead of the other way round?] [Maybe that’s because Lin Shanchu seems more dominant.]
[Huh?]
That night, the topic #Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu or the other way round hit the trending list.
However, the people involved had no idea what was going on.
Meanwhile, Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu’s relationship fans were unhappy. They immediately rushed to the topic page and tried to take over it. “Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu are meant to be together!”
“Look, they’re so compatible! [image]”
Attached was a picture of Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuan looking at each other affectionately on the day the former joined the production crew.
The relationship fans of Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu refused to give in. They posted a video montage of Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu online.
Whether it was the tacit understanding between the two of them during the “Resentful Ghost” performance or Yun Wu snatching Lin Shanchu’s suitcase, they were all more exciting and interesting than the picture of Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu looking at each other affectionately.
Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu’s relationship fans turned their tune very easily.
[The lunatic beauty and the cold-looking badass! I really love the idea of two powerful women being together!]
[Ah! I really love this couple as well!]
[I’m on my way to converting to this faction! Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu look so good together!]
Originally, the fans from the two different relationships were the ones arguing with each other, but it turned out that one faction was starting to merge into the other.
More and more people joined in, which boosted the topic’s popularity.
A large number of passersby were deeply attracted after seeing Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu’s edited video of “Resentful Ghost”.
They searched for “My Stage” that night in order to watch the full version of “Resentful Ghost”.
The production crew loved drama the most. Their editors pulled an all-nighter just to edit all the members’ performances.
Among them, “Resentful Ghost” had the most views.
However, Lin Shanchu had no idea that her performance went viral.
It was because her phone had gotten confiscated.
When Nan Mu looked at the real-time data that his assistant handed over, he slapped his thigh so much out of elation that he could feel it going numb.
“I’ve struck the jackpot!”
Nan Mu happily showed the data to Huo Xunzhou. “Xunzhou, I think that if things continue to progress like this, once this show is over, I can earn enough money to buy a tank, let alone a plane!”
Huo Xunzhou glanced at the data, clearly disinterested. He asked, “Is Lu
Shiyuan still intending to sponsor the show?”
Nan Mu felt like laughing when that matter was mentioned. “That’s right. Do you think Lu Shiyuan got so mad at the contract that he became dumb? He actually wants to sponsor my show and give me free money!”
Huo Xunzhou thought for a moment before replying, “Let’s ask for Lin Shanchu’s opinion.”
“Huh?” Nan Mu was stunned for a moment before reacting to the statement. “Are you talking about the matter of Lu Shiyuan intending to sponsor the production crew?”
“Yeah,” Huo Xunzhou replied..
