Chapter 104 - 104: Couples Can Be Niche, But Not Sick and Twisted
Logically speaking, everyone would go to change their clothes first before going to the cafeteria to eat.
After the members returned backstage, they all paid attention to Lin Shanchu’s movements. No one went to the changing room to change first.
Lin Shanchu was going to eat with Tang Qidai!
They could never catch such an interesting show elsewhere!
Under the anticipation of the crowd, Tang Qidai went backstage.
Behind her was the cameraman, who Lin Shanchu was familiar with.
“Shanshan, are you done?”
“Let’s go.”
Lin Shanchu smiled and walked over to Tang Qidai.
Tang Qidai reached out to hold Lin Shanchu’s hand.
Lin Shanchu deliberately raised her hand to smooth her hair, naturally avoiding Tang Qidai’s hand.
A trace of anger flashed across Tang Qidai’s eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. “The food in the cafeteria is pretty decent.”
“Yeah.”
Lin Shanchu first nodded in agreement, then seemed to have thought of something. She added happily, “At noon, I heard from the cafeteria’s serving lady that there will be your favorite chicken salad tonight.”
Lin Shanchu’s sudden cooperation with Tang Qidai in putting on a show of sisterly love made the latter a little confused.
However, when she thought about how she had screwed up in the afternoon when she was recording the show, she didn’t have time to think about it. So, she just went along with Lin Shanchu by looking surprised and delighted.
“Really?”
“Not only that but there will also be blueberries.”
Blueberries were Tang Qidai’s favorite fruit.
Tang Qidai was a little surprised that Lin Shanchu still remembered that she loved to eat blueberries.
Soon, she understood something.
The cameraman kept following them, which meant the livestream was still ongoing.
The comments became lively because of the simple conversation between the
two.
[How ironic! Lin Shanchu remembers Tang Qidai’s favorite dish and fruit!] [Tang Qidai didn’t even know that Lin Shanchu is allergic to mangoes.]
[It’s no secret that Tang Qidai likes to eat chicken salad and blueberries. All her fans know about it. ]
[Doesn’t this show that Lin Shanchu cares about Tang Qidai a lot?]
[People who care about others keep their feelings hidden. Those who claim to care about someone tend to be liars.]
[It’s hard to disagree with you.]
Lin Shanchu smiled at Tang Qidai with her eyes curving upward.
This made Tang Qidai recall the first time she met Lin Shanchu when she was ten years old.
The ten-year-old Tang Qidai was poor in vocabulary.
She couldn’t describe how she felt when she first saw Lin Shanchu.
At that time, Lin Shanchu was holding Lu Shiyuan’s hand. Her smiling eyes were like crescents, untainted by dust.
She felt that Lin Shanchu was like a princess, but also like an angel.
It made people want to get closer to her, but it also made people jealous at the same time.
From then on, Tang Qidai wanted to become Lin Shanchu by replacing her.
She had been working hard for this all these years.
However, just as she was getting closer and closer to success, Lin Shanchu suddenly seemed to have changed into a different person.
Lin Shanchu began to fight back.
All these days, every plan she had implemented to suppress Lin Shanchu had been perfectly resolved by the latter.
Lin Shanchu even took the initiative to attack.
For the first time, Tang Qidai finally realized that Lin Shanchu was no longer the useless person who did not fight back when she was hit or scolded.
Tang Qidai was so focused on her thoughts that she forgot to control her expression, resulting in her looking very cold.
Lin Shanchu reached out to tidy up Tang Qidai’s slightly messy hair while asking leisurely, “Why do you have that look on your face?”
Her expression was natural and her posture was intimate. The members behind Tang Qidai and Lin Shanchu as well as the audience in the live broadcast room who were watching the show were all confused.
Tang Qidai came back to her senses.
She resisted the urge to avoid Lin Shanchu’s hand before forcing two teardrops out of her eyes.
“Shanshan, you’re such a wonderful person. I didn’t expect you to even remember what I like to eat. I’ve been so busy for the past two years that I’ve forgotten that you’re allergic to mangoes. I really don’t deserve to be your friend.”
Tang Qidai cried so hard that even her snot bubbles were coming out.
Lin Shanchu gently wiped Tang Qidai’s tears away while sighing out loud. “You look so ugly when you cry.”
Tang Qidai’s face froze for a moment.
The commenters were laughing.
[I’m done! Not only do I not understand the relationship between the three of them, but I can’t even figure out the exact relationship between Tang Qidai and Lin Shanchu.]
[Guys, I’m sick. I think I like the idea of both of them being a couple…] [Lin Shanchu and Tang Qidai? Together?]
[Two women who loved and hated each other since young. That sounds really exciting…]
“Then I won’t cry.” Tang Qidai sniffled.
Forcing herself to cry was a skill, and it was very difficult for her to cry on the spot.
When they arrived at the cafeteria, the two of them took their food and sat opposite each other.
Tang Qidai took the initiative to start a conversation with Lin Shanchu. “I wanted to bring you a bouquet of flowers on my way here, but I was too busy and didn’t have time.”
“Next time then.” Lin Shanchu did not even look up.
“My focus will be on the capital city from now on, so I might not have the chance to be there for future public showdowns. I’ll come back to cheer you on during the girl group’s debut night.”
Although Tang Qidai said that, she was actually thinking that as long as she was around, Lin Shanchu could forget about entering the finals.
How could Lin Shanchu not understand the deep meaning of Tang Qidai’s words?
She raised her eyes and looked straight at Tang Qidai. “Thanks for your kind words.”
Their gazes met in the air, not giving in at all.
Lin Shanchu lazily said, “Oh, right. Don’t give me white lotus flowers. You know, I feel disgusted whenever I see them. I’ll definitely throw them on the ground and trample them to pieces.”
Tang Qidai herself knew that the netizens had always referred to her as a pretentious woman and that her symbol was a white lotus flower.
Lin Shanchu was just mocking her at that point. Tang Qidai turned her face away while sounding very stiff. “I know.” The commenters were all laughing at Tang Qidai. [Hahaha! I seriously suspect that Lin Shanchu is referring to Tang Qidai!]
[What should I do? I really think they belong together!]
[Guys, you can support niche couples, but never sick and twisted ones!]
[I don’t care! I’m sick! I love the ChuDai love line!]
[What a bunch of crazy women…]
As a result, a topic named #ChuDai couple went on the trending list that night.
Meanwhile, at the training camp, after Tang Qidai had finished her meal, Lin Shanchu suggested walking her to her car.
Tang Qidai was afraid that Lin Shanchu would come up with some tricks again, so she quickly rejected him with the excuse that Lin Shanchu was tired after recording the program for the whole afternoon.
She then left in a hurry.
No matter how one looked at Tang Qidai’s figure, she seemed to be fleeing in panic.
What was there to be afraid of?
This was just the beginning.
“Death of the Universe” took first place in the entire competition.
The production crew worked overnight to edit the performance of “Death of the Universe” and uploaded it as the first video of the show’s channel.
They even edited the behind-the-scenes footage of Lin Shanchu’s group that showcased their training procedures.
As the winning group of the showdown, the group members had a chance to shoot a product placement advertisement for the show’s sponsors.
There was no studio in the training camp that could shoot advertisements, so Lin Shanchu’s group had to go out early the next morning to shoot the advertisement in the studio.
Therefore, Lin Shanchu went to bed very early the first night.
As the “boss”, Nan Mu stayed up all night to watch the show’s statistics. He was a model worker.
After looking at the data. he opened Weiho and saw Lin Shanchu and Tang
Qidai’s trending topic.
“The ChuDai couple?”
Nan Mu opened the topic and scrolled down the posts with mixed feelings.
How could the netizens love the idea of Lin Shanchu and Tang Qidai together?
They really were sick this time..
