Chapter 151: If We Miss This Today, We’ll Have To Wait Until the Next Life
Lin Shanchu jogged back to the dormitory.
Her roommate, who was out front, noticed her and asked, “Where did you go?
How are you just coming back?”
“I went to the bathroom on the way.” Lin Shanchu calmly lied.
Yun Wu had just finished showering when she walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her head.
She happened to overhear Lin Shanchu.
She walked up to Lin Shanchu and asked with a concerned face, “You went to the bathroom for so long?”
Lin Shanchu nodded without feeling any sort of guilt.
“Oh.” Yun Wu turned around and started blow-drying her hair.
Lin Shanchu suddenly realized what Yun Wu meant by her reaction: She felt that there was something more to Lin Shanchu’s words.
She glanced at Yun Wu.
Most likely driven by her excitement to eat, Yun Wu did not even bother to comb her hair properly. She hastily reached for the hairdryer and aggressively blew her hair like she was facing a blizzard.
What could this glutton be thinking about?
At most, Lin Shanchu would expect Yun Wu to complain about how she was late and how that delayed her mealtime.
Lin Shanchu smiled as she walked towards the bathroom.
Just as she was about to step in, she was stopped in her tracks by a familiar voice in her head.
[Love Line Points +1.]
Lin Shanchu’s expression changed.
The system sensed the change in Lin Shanchu’s emotions and asked:
[What’s wrong? Aren’t you happy to receive points?]
Lin Shanchu ignored it and checked the point details.
The newly added points were marked under the ‘Heartbeat Value’ category.
‘Heartbeat Value’ points again.
Hold on.
She just met up with Huo Xunzhou.
Previously when she was awarded a point, Huo Xunzhou was there as well.
So, was it possible that the source of these two points came from Huo Xunzhou?
Lin Shanchu took a speedy shower and rushed off to the cafeteria with Yun Wu. As they walked past the tables, their topic of discussion caught Lin Shan Chu’s attention.
“Ah! It’s July the eighteenth today!”
“I never expect that it would be the eighteenth of July so quickly!”
Earlier in the dormitory, she also overheard her roommates talking about today’s date.
She just thought it was just a special occasion for one of her roommates.
However, upon her arrival at the cafeteria, everyone was talking about July the eighteenth.
Had she been cut off from the internet?
She had her phone with her and had been secretly surfing the internet every day, there was no way she missed out on important news.
Yun Wu noticed Lin Shan Chu’s confusion over the current events and asked, “Don’t you know what day July the eighteenth is?”
Lin Shanchu shook her head.
Coincidentally, Wen Tongtong and Ning Yunxi were walking over with their plates and overheard their conversation.
Ning Yunxi asked Lin Shanchu in surprise, “Sister, do you not chase after celebrities?”
Lin Shanchu shook her head again.
The author hadn’t allowed her to be able to fangirl over celebrities.
Wen Tongtong also questioned her with a tone of skepticism, “Aren’t we the same age?”
“You’re one year younger.” Lin Sanchu replied.
“Oh.”
“Sister, you really don’t know SOF?!” Ning Yunxi gave Lin Shanchu a playfully sarcastic thumbs up, ‘Wow, you’re amazing.”
“And we’ve been talking for so long, but you still haven’t told me what today’s all about.” Lin Shanchu nonchalantly reminded her.
Yun Wu burst out laughing.
“Today is the day SOF disbands. There will be a global farewell live stream tonight.”
Yun Wu’s words snapped a memory in Lin Shanchu’s head.
“Wait… You mean the boy band that performed ‘The Fall of the Universe’?”
She knew about SOF and how internationally popular they’ve been for many years. She just didn’t keep up with them for a long time so she didn’t know they were disbanding today.
Ning Yunxi let out a pretentious sniffle as she shoved a spoonful of rice into her mouth, “My youth…”
Wen Tongtong sighed, “It’s a pity we can’t attend the farewell concert in person.”
Yun Wu was the only one who focused on her meal more than the conversation they were having.
“Aren’t you a fan of SOF?” Lin Shanchu asked her.
“In the past.” Yun Wu replied simply.
Then, as if she was avoiding further questions, Yun Wu swiftly tried to change the subject, “The braised beef is delicious today.”
As part of the culture, the production crew would arrange a day off for the trainees the day after the performance.
So, in the evening after the show, everyone would gather together to relax and chit-chat.
But tonight, instead of gathering to chat, they gathered at the director’s office. It was so crowded to the point it was impossible for anyone to move in or out.
“Director, my dying wish is to be at SOF’s farewell concert.”
“Director, if we miss this today, we’ll have to wait for it in the next life.”
“Director, please…”
Once again, Song Yiming found himself drowning in the sea of girls yelling “Director” again.
“Fine! If you want to watch, I’ll arrange something for you right now!”
The director personally played the live broadcast of SOF’s farewell concert on the stage’s big screen for them.
Lin Shanchu was curious so she came over to have a look. She wasn’t a fan of SOF, so she planned to leave once she was satisfied.
The director had sharp eyes and called out to her, “Lin Shanchu! Sit down, you’re blocking the view.” “I don’t…”
“Sit down and watch.”
The director could tell that Lin Shanchu was about to say that she wasn’t interested in watching, so he deliberately interrupted her.
The publicity department was already asking him for materials, so how could he let Lin Shanchu leave and cause a disruption?
Ning Yunxi also helped to pull Lin Shanchu back to her seat. “Sister, it’s about to start! Let me tell you, my favorite is Alec. He’s the baby of the group…”
For the next few minutes, Ning Yunxi didn’t stop bragging about Alec to Lin Shanchu.
Finally, when the live broadcast began, Ning Yunxi finally stopped.
The camera swept across the audience in the venue.
It was packed, with heads crowding together.
Once the members of SOF took the stage, the atmosphere became even more frenzied.
The cheers from the audience almost drowned out the host’s voice.
Lin Shanchu’s surroundings weren’t any different either.
On her left, she had Ning Yunxi, and on her right, Wen Tongtong.
Both of them were as unstable. “Ahhhh! Alec is so handsome!”
“Brother, I love you!”
Lin Shanchu closed her eyes and exhaled to compose her patience while she stared at the screen expressionlessly.
The camera then gave close-ups of each member of SOF.
Ning Yunxi suddenly grabbed her and said, “Ah, sis, this is Alec! Isn’t he handsome?”
The man on the screen was young and handsome, with joyful, charming eyes. He held the microphone in a carefree manner.
“Hello, everyone. I’m Alec.”
Her voice was mellifluous.
“He’s quite handsome.” Lin Shanchu agreed.
She wasn’t completely clueless about who SOF was. It was only because she hadn’t been keeping up with celebrities that she couldn’t remember their names well.
The camera then cut to another member’s face.
This time, it was Weng Tongtong who pulled Lin Shanchu over and said, “This is Captain Sang Min! Isn’t he handsome?”
After carefully observing him, Lin Shanchu nodded, “Yes.”
Of course. For them to be a boy band so popular, they had to have good looks.
The screams in Lin Shanchu’s ears never stopped throughout the rest of the performance.
It wasn’t until the final segment of farewell speeches that her surroundings quieted down.
However, the silence only lasted a few minutes before the wave of deafening cries washed over her again.
Lin Shanchu’s head was buzzing, so she cooked up an excuse to use the bathroom to get up and leave.
As soon as the door to the viewing room closed behind her, the loudest scream erupted from inside.
Lin Shanchu heaved a sigh of relief. She felt as if she had just survived a natural disaster.
It was Still early, so sne was reaay to go out ror a walK.
As she approached the elevator, she heard voices behind her.
“Must you really rush back tonight? Is there no one else in the entire Huo family that could step up? I swear, there’s never a single good thing coming from those with the surname Huo.. They’re all disgusting…”
