Huo Xunzhou raised his eyebrows and repeated in a deep voice, “It’s nothing?”
...“Yeah,” Li MO nodded, “He also said that you should focus on being busy and don’t have to call him back.’
“What else did he say?” Huo Xunzhou narrowed his eyes.
“He told you to rest well and take care of yourself,” Li MO roughly conveyed Nan Mu’s words to Huo Xunzhou.
Huo Xunzhou glanced at the call history.
When he saw that the call between Nan Mu and Li Mo was only two minutes ago, he furrowed his brows.
“What’s wrong, Big Brother?”
“He didn’t call because he was concerned about me, it was because he felt guilty.”
Huo Xunzhou slipped his phone into his pocket and headed downstairs.
Li MO was trailing behind as he rambled on in his thoughts.
“Why would he feel guilty? Did he do something to betray you?”
“But with that brain of his, what could he possibly scheme behind your back?”
Li MO and Nan Mu had never acknowledged each other’s strengths and always felt that the other was inferior to them.
Huo Xunzhou remained silent all the way.
When they reached the car, he took out his phone and went online.
He opened the entertainment rankings.
#LinShanchu’sRabbitDance was at the top of the list. A few rows below, there was another topic.
#MyBunnyWife
In the evening, Nan Mu attended a dinner party.
He was in a good mood and drank quite a bit.
So when he returned home, he fell asleep immediately.
Just as he was sleeping soundly, his phone rang.
As someone in the entertainment industry, he had to be prepared to deal with unexpected events at any time.
Therefore, his ringtone was always on and the volume was blasted to the max.
Nan Mu, who was still half asleep, was startled by the ringtone.
He flipped over and jumped up. Feeling lightheaded and blurred, he answered the call without noticing who it was.
‘What happened?”
He instinctively thought it was an urgent call from one of the company’s employees, regarding some unexpected event.
There was silence on the other end of the line.
Nan Mu grabbed his hair and thought ‘Could this be some idiot who was jealous of his show and was about to go off? He deliberately called me in the middle of the night as a prank, right?’
“The trending search list has been quite lively today.”
An extremely familiar cold voice came from the phone.
Nan Mu was so scared that his hair stood on end.
He instantly became fully awake and his mouth was in a knot, “Xun…Xunzhou, you’re still awake?”
“I’m staying up late to play with my phone.” Huo Xunzhou’s tone was very serious and unusually calm.
Nan Mu looked at the time.
It was three o’clock in the morning.
He also found Huo Xunzhou’s words to be very familiar.
He realized he made a grave mistake.
He shouldn’t have let his guard down and said so much nonsense when he called Huo Xunzhou during the day just because it was Li MO who answered the call.
Otherwiself he’d done that, Huo Xunzhou wouldn’t have been so suspicious.
But now, Huo Xunzhou had found out.
“Xunzhou, about this…” I can explain.
Beep –
The phone rang out a familiar hang-up dial tone.
Knowing Huo Xunzhou, what this meant was ‘No need to explain. When I get back, you will die.’
Now, Nan Mu could only hope that Huo Xunzhou comes back later.
As soon as Huo Xunzhou hung up, Nan Mu received another call.
After listening to the person on the other end, his voice turned cold, “If she’s missing, then go look for her!”
After the end of the live stream, everyone went into an intense training period.
No one was in the mood to bring up the incident between Lin Shanchu and Xia Jinmeng.
Lin Shanchu knew that if everything went smoothly, she would be ‘eliminated’ after the third round of performances ended.
The third performance was meaningless to her, but to her teammates, it was important.
So, Lin Shanchu still cooperated with them.
However, there would be some side effects from practicing rap too much.
Like for example, Lin Shanchu would randomly be reciting the lyrics unconsciously under her breath.
Even when they were eating.
One second, Lin Shanchu was chatting with Yun Wu, and the next, she would begin whispering the lyrics with a mouth full of rice.
The more she recited, the more she got into it.
Yun Wu finally recognized the lyrics after listening to her for a while. She laughed so hard that the drumstick she had just picked up fell back on the plate.
Once Lin Shanchu completed the song, she continued eating as if nothing had happened.
Seeing this, Yun Wu laughed out loud.
Lin Shanchu was confused.
Suppressing her laughter, Yun Wu said, “Your training seems to be paying off.”
Lin Shanchu finally realized what she had been doing.
She sighed.
Fortunately, there was only a week left until the performance.
Yun Wu noticed that Lln Shanchu was frowning and tried to change the topic.
“I heard that the guest performers invited by the production crew will arrive tomorrow. I wonder who they were.”
“We’ll find out when they arrive.” If only Lin Shanchu hadn’t had her phone confiscated, she could have checked the news online.
But at the same time, whenever she thought of her cell phone, she would think of Xia Jinmeng.
She was still a little angry about it.
Lin Shanchu looked around and finally landed her gaze on the table next door.
Xia Jinmeng was whispering to another contestant.
“I don’t particularly like any male celebrities. It’s all up to the production crew’s arrangements.”
They were also talking about the male guest performers.
However, after Xia Jinmeng finished speaking, the girl she was talking to seemed somewhat embarrassed.
The two tables were very close to each other so Yun Wu also heard what Xia Jinmeng said.
She extended her arm in front of Lin Shanchu and said, “Shanshan, look at the goosebumps on my hands.”
Lin Shanchu a glance and indeed saw goosebumps.
“When Xia Jinmeng speaks…” Yun Wu thought for a long while but still struggled to find the right words. So she simply said, “You get it right?”
Lin Shanchu nodded calmly and replied, “I get it.”
Xia Jinmeng must have taken what Lin Shanchu said in the dormitory seriously that day.
She hadn’t been coming over to provoke her for the past few days.
Moreover, Xia Jinmeng had also begun to imitate Lin Shanchu’s way of speaking.
However, the people who had been around Xia Jinmeng for the past two months knew that she was not the type to have a gentle personality.
It was difficult for them to adapt to the new environment.
Lin Shanchu had unintentionally overheard several conversations among the contestants about this matter.
Everyone had their own opinion so there were many different theories on it.
Some people said that it was because Xia Jinmeng dreamed of being number one so much, she constantly fought for it. But the pressure was too much for her which explained her sudden personality change.
Some also said that Xia Jinmeng was pretending to act gentle because male guest performers were coming.
But, there was one theory that Lin Shanchu found most interesting:
Xia Jinmeng couldn’t beat Lin Shanchu, so she decided to become her.
This theory was the closest to the truth.
But at the same time, it was also the complete opposite of the truth.
Yun Wu glanced at Xia Jinmeng again and whispered to Lin Shanchu.
“Shanshan, why do I feel like Xia Jinmeng is imitating you? She can’t be up to something again, could she?”
Lin Shanchu twirled the spoon in her hand and slowly said, “What if she just thinks I’m charming and she wants to change herself from the bottom of her heart?”
Yun Wu stared at her with a strange expression.
Lin Shanchu just smiled and started drinking her soup with the spoon.
Xia Jinmeng looked over from the next table.
When she saw Lin Shanchu drinking the soup, she picked up her bowl as well.
The canteen served two kinds of soup today.
Shrimp soup and seaweed soup.
Xia Jinmeng chose the same soup as Lin Shanchu, shrimp soup.
Not only that.
The dishes Xia Jinmeng chose were also the same as Lin Shanchu’s..
