Chapter 152: I’m Scared Too
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Shanchu turned to face the direction of the sound and collided head-on with a group of people coming toward her.
Both parties were taken aback.
Nan Mu, who was talking before, quickly fell silent.
Li MO started the conversation, “Miss Lin?”
Nan Mu heard about the incident where the trainees surrounded the director’s office, so seeing as she was here now, he asked, “Aren’t you going to watch SOF’s farewell concert in the screening room?”
“I did watch it. It’s almost over, so I just decided to come out and get some fresh air,” Lin Shanchu replied, unintentionally glancing at Huo Xunzhou.
Huo Xunzhou was also looking at her, but his expression was cold as usual.
Nan Mu suddenly nudged Li MO, “Oh, did you forget to take your phone?”
“My phone?” Li MO felt through his pockets above his pants, “My phone is right here-”
Nan Mu reached out to place his hand on Li MO’s shoulder and said anyway, “Don’t worry, I’ll accompany you to get it.”
He hooked his arm around Li MO’s shoulder and walked back without saying anything more.
As one of the shippers of Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu’s relationship, Li MO immediately understood what Nan Mu was trying to do.
He swallowed the words he was about to say and silently followed Nan Mu.
After walking a certain distance, he finally waved Nan Mu’s hand away in disgust, “Don’t touch me.”
“What’s wrong with a little touching?” Nan Mu tried to approach him again.
Li MO was unbothered, “You’re disgusting.”
Nan Mu stopped talking after that and the two of them walked away.
The surroundings started to quiet down.
At this moment, Lin Shanchu was suddenly reminded about the ‘Heartbeat Value’ points and felt a little complicated.
“Are you leaving?” she sparked the conversation.
‘Yeah.”
Huo Xunzhou leaned back into his wheelchair, looking a little relaxed.
Lin Shanchu placed her hands behind her back earnestly as she wished him,
“Bon voyage.”
“Thanks.”
Suddenly, Huo Xunzhou’s phone rang.
As he answered the call, Huo Xunzhou made a weird expression because he couldn’t understand what the caller said.
Throughout the entire conversation, the caller only uttered one thing before hanging up:
“Mmm.”
When the call ended, Huo Xunzhou immediately dialed Li MO’s number and said, “Come over.”
The moment he hung up, Li MO was already coming around the corner.
“Big Brother,” he exclaimed as he jogged over.
It turned out that Li MO and Nan Mu hadn’t left at all. They were hiding behind the corner, eavesdropping on Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou’s conversation.
Lin Shanchu could somewhat expect Nan Mu to be this nosy… but she didn’t expect Li MO to be like this as well.
Feeling Lin Shanchu’s gaze on him, Li MO chuckled awkwardly as he addressed her, “Miss Lin.”
Noticing that Huo Xun’s expression was off, Nan Mu asked, ‘What’s wrong?” Huo Xunzhou didn’t give a direct answer and just said, “I’ll be back late this time.”
“Oh,” Nan Mu looked at Lin Shanchu meaningfully.
At this moment, the elevator doors opened.
Li MO, Huo Xun, and Nan Mu stepped inside.
Lin Shanchu contemplated joining them for a moment but ultimately remained standing in place.
“Goodbye,” she said to Li MO without looking at Huo Xunzhou.
With that, she walked off.
Nan Mu looked at Lin Shanchu’s leaving figure and thoughtfully asked Huo
Xunzhou, ‘What happened between you two?”
Huo Xunzhou closed the elevator doors without saying a word. He didn’t look too pleased to hear that.
How could he know? He was unsure of what happened himself.
Within such a short while, Lin Shan Chu’s tone suddenly turned cautious.
And now it was worse, she just left without even saying goodbye.
Sensing his tenseness, Nan Mu didn’t dare probe him any further.
He silently retreated beside Li MO and leaned against him.
Coincidentally, Li MO also happened to step back. The two of them stood together in a corner, not daring to make a sound.
Hence, they could only argue with each other silently using their face.
Nan Mu: ‘Why are you squeezing next to me?’
Li Mo: ‘Big Brother is in a bad mood. I’m scared too.’
Lin Shanchu was purposely taking a stroll so she was able to turn back in time to watch the elevator door closing.
She sighed softly and continued her journey back.
After a few steps, she encountered Yun Wu who was running toward her at full speed, panting heavily.
“Shanshan?”
Yun Wu was surprised to see her.
“Are you feeling better?” Lin Shanchu inquired.
Previously, Yun Wu mentioned that she wasn’t feeling too good and needed to rest for a while, so she didn’t manage to join the rest in the screening room.
Yun Wu paused for a moment.
“I’m fine.”
Lin Shanchu noticed that Yun Wu was constantly looking around as she spoke, so she asked, “Are you looking for someone?”
After another round of silence, Yun Wu asked back, “Have you seen President
Nan?”
“He just took the elevator downstairs.” Lin Shanchu pointed at the elevator.
“Where did he go?”
Lin Shanchu carefully observed Yun Wu for a while before slowly saying, “He went… to send Huo Xunzhou off.”
“Oh,” Yun Wu nodded. She looked as if she was lost in thought thinking about something.
“Do you need him urgently?”
Only when she heard Lin Shanchu’s voice resonating, Yun Wu snapped back to her senses and replied, “It’s okay. I’ll talk to him when he gets back. Come, let’s head back to the dormitory.”
Lin Shanchu followed Yun Wu back to the dormitory.
However, they found the dorms to be empty upon their arrival.
When she left the screening room earlier, the members of SOF were already giving their farewell speeches. Shouldn’t it be over by now?
Blit seeing how much they love the band. it was understandable if they weren’t
willing to let go.
They would probably stay in the screening room to be sad for a while.
Lin Shanchu proceeded to wash up, lay on her bed, and flip through a magazine in boredom.
Even after flipping through a two-to-three-page magazine for almost an hour, no one came back from the dormitory.
Yun Wu, who always used to discuss with her what foods the canteen would be serving the next day, also remained silent this whole time.
It was a little strange.
Lin Shanchu got up and approached the end of Yun Wu’s bed, only to realize that she had done nothing but stare blankly at the ceiling.
“What’s wrong?”
Only when Lin Shanchu stuck her hand in front of Yun Wu’s face and waved did
Yun Wu finally come back to her senses.
She sat up, “They’re not back yet?”
Lin Shanchu looked at the other empty beds and confirmed, “Nope.” “Looks like there’s no result yet,” Yun Wu’s tone was a little solemn.
‘What result?” Lin Shanchu was puzzled.
Lin Shanchu’s confusion made Yun Wu confused. She explained, “Sang Min from SOF suddenly collapsed as he was giving his farewell speech. Did you not see that?”
Lin Shanchu shook her head, “I left early.”
“No wonder.”
Yun Wu then shot up from her bed and said, “Shanshan, let’s go take a look.”
Yun Wu seemed like she wasn’t a fan of SOF, yet she was still somehow quite concerned for them.
“Alright,” Lin Shanchu nodded.
Once they entered the screening room, the trainees were still there.
Due to Sang Min’s sudden collapse, the live broadcast had been interrupted.
The trainees gathered around the staff, following up on the latest updates online.
“It’s been an hour. Why is there still no news?”
‘Yeah. Could it be that Sang Min…?’
“Stop it. Sang Min was fine during his physical examination last year, he was in good health. There was no way something happened to him..
These girls were so devoted to their idol that they even knew about his physical examination results.
Lin Shanchu recalled the sudden loud exclamations she heard when she left the screening room earlier.
Sang Min had probably fainted during that time.
And just as she left, Yun Wu came to find her and must have coincidentally learned about this incident on her way over..
