Chapter 72 - 72: They Were All Happy, She Had Nothing
Lin Shanchu looked up. Her clear eyes were filled with smiles without the slightest trace of sadness.
“Thank you, Director. Next time you want to cause trouble, you can let me know in advance. I’ll do my best to cooperate with you.”
“Sure thing! I’ll definitely tell you next time!”
The director was elated.
The production crew had such a polite and cooperative key element of popularity, so why would they worry about the ratings?
The two of them parted ways.
The director went into the washroom happily.
Meanwhile, Lin Shanchu returned to the dormitory in a good mood.
Her roommates were discussing the song selection for tomorrow.
“After the first public showdown is over, the elimination will begin.” “I’m so worried. I’ll definitely get kicked out in one round.” “You don’t know that. Let’s wait for the rankings to be announced…”
Lin Shanchu walked straight in.
She subconsciously looked at Yun Wu’s bed.
The bed was empty. No one was there. “Lin Shanchu, can you do me a favor?” Her roommate called out to her.
Lin Shanchu smiled and turned around.
“I heard that you were the one who put on her makeup for Yun Wu during her initial stage assessment,” the girl said shyly. “Can you help me with my makeup too? ”
“All right.”
Most of the students in the dormitory were from Class F.
They were kind to her.
It was a small favor, so why wouldn’t Lin Shanchu help the girl out?
The girl quickly arranged the cosmetics.
When Lin Shanchu helped her with her makeup, the girl kept looking up at her.
After a long while, she couldn’t help but sigh. “You’re really beautiful.”
Lin Shanchu lowered her eyes and looked at her seriously. “You’re also very beautiful.”
She had always done things at a steady pace with a kind of calmness that did not match her age, which was inexplicably convincing.
She sounded quite sincere even when she was making polite talk.
The girl smiled shyly. She was about to say something when she looked up and saw Yun Wu at the doorway.
“Yun Wu is back!”
Yun Wu replied coldly, “Yeah.”
When she walked in, she kept glancing at Lin Shanchu from time to time.
However, Lin Shanchu did not look at her at all.
The corners of Yun Wu’s tightly pursed lips continued to press downward.
She was no longer Lin Shanchu’s most beloved little sister.
Lin Shanchu was putting on makeup for other little sisters now.
She didn’t even look at her.
The more Yun Wu thought about it, the sadder she became. She kicked off her shoes, climbed onto her bed, and pulled the blanket over her head.
The blanket couldn’t block out the sounds in the room.
Yun Wu could clearly hear their conversation.
“I’ve actually wanted you to help me with my makeup for a long time, but I didn’t dare to…”
“Why not? Do I look that scary to you?”
“Of course not. It’s just that you’re too pretty, so I didn’t dare to talk to you…”
The girl smiled in embarrassment. Lin Shanchu’s voice also had a hint of a smile. “So that’s how it is.”
Yun Wu was even more upset.
They were all happy.
Meanwhile, she had nothing…
The next day.
It was the day for the members to choose their songs for the first public showdown.
Only when there was a stage performance would the production crew arrange for makeup artists to help everyone with their appearances.
The members usually did their own makeup for the regular recording sessions.
As a result, the official livestream started at nine o’clock today, but many people were already up by six.
Lin Shanchu also got up at six o’clock.
But that was because it was her natural time to wake up.
She quickly changed her clothes and put on makeup.
It was probably because she had helped that girl put on makeup last night that she didn’t seem so unapproachable. So, one after another, the girls asked her to help them draw their brows or put on their lipstick for them.
Yun Wu didn’t know how to put on makeup. She sat in front of the mirror and looked at the pile of cosmetics, clearly at a loss.
Lin Shanchu had helped her with her makeup before.
Yun Wu looked at everything while feeling a little disappointed.
Finally, she got up and walked behind Lin Shanchu, who was helping others with their eye shadow.
She pulled on the corner of her clothes and pleaded in a small voice, “Can you help me with my makeup?”
Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Shanchu paused in applying the eye shadow.
After two seconds, she slowly replied, “Wait a moment.”
“All right, I’ll wait for you.”
Yun Wu happily skipped back to her seat and sat down obediently, waiting for Lin Shanchu to come over and help her with her makeup.
From time to time, she would stretch her neck out and look at Lin Shanchu.
The camera in the dorm was already on.
There were relatively fewer people in the dorm.
However, Lin Shanchu’s dorm had a relatively large audience.
The commenters talked about Yun Wu.
[What just happened? A night had just passed, and yet Boss Yun the badass already transformed into a sweet-looking girl!]
[Boss Yun is so cute when she’s waiting for Lin Shanchu to do her makeup!]
[I feel that Boss Yun and Lin Shanchu are acting a little weird…]
[Did they get into an argument?]
Lin Shanchu often helped Yun Wu with her makeup.
She was more familiar with Yun Wu’s face than she was with herself.
In addition, Yun Wu was already pretty from the start, so it didn’t take much time to put on makeup.
“It’s done.” Lin Shanchu put down the facial brush.
“Thank you,” Yun Wu said.
Yun Wu placed her hands on her knees, looking like an obedient primary school student.
Lin Shanchu thought it was funny.
Was she really that scary?
She didn’t say much to Yun Wu as she packed her things and went to the cafeteria to eat alone.
On the way to the cafeteria, she met the cameraman who had followed her.
“You’re later than usual today,” the cameraman said.
She usually had a fixed breakfast time, and the cameraman followed the rhythm.
Lin Shanchu explained, “I’ve been helping my roommates with their makeup since we’ll be choosing our songs for the first public showdown today.”
The cameraman looked behind Lin Shanchu while asking, “Why didn’t you wait for Yun wu?”
Yun Wu?
Lin Shanchu turned around and realized that Yun Wu had unknowingly followed her.
The comments went wild.
[Hahaha! Why does Boss Yun look like an aggrieved wife?] [What happened last night? Yun Wu, why are you this weak?] [Lin Shanchu had successfully tamed Boss Yun into Sweetie Yun…]
[Hahahaha! I’m definitely dying in the comment section one of these days!]
After the cameraman finished speaking, he took his camera and went to record the others.
Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu were the only ones left in the corridor.
Seeing that she had been discovered, Yun Wu simply strode toward her in wide steps..
“Why are you following me?” Lin Shanchu tilted her head slightly, clearly confused.
There were a lot of people walking in the corridor, so she didn’t think much about it when she sensed someone behind her. “Let’s eat…” Yun Wu said in a low voice.
She looked a little pitiful.
Lin Shanchu just looked at her with a complicated expression, then turned and left.
Everyone in the training camp knew how enthusiastic Yun Wu was when it came to eating.
She must have been taking her time today because Lin Shanchu was in her way.
As she thought about this, Lin Shanchu quickened her pace.
They soon arrived at the cafeteria.
It was already eight o’clock, so the cafeteria was packed with people.
An Youyun raised her voice and greeted Lin Shanchu, “Good morning, Big
Sister.”
“Morning,” Lin Shanchu replied with a smile.
Xia Jinmeng was sitting opposite An Youyun.
Her gaze swept back and forth between Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu. Then, she asked An Youyun, ‘What happened to Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu?”
“What?” An Youyun had just stuffed a cherry tomato into her mouth, so her voice was muffled. “I don’t know. What happened to them?”
The girls at the next table came over to gossip.
“When I was in the cafeteria last night, I saw the two of them not returning to the dorm together after eating. This morning, I heard from their dormmates that after they returned to the dorm last night, neither of them bothered talking to each other….”
