Chapter 89 Guilty, but still want to do bad things
What Xia Linxing held in his hand was a small bottle of jewelry glue that he had specifically asked the costume designer for in the dressing room before returning to the dormitory.
The excuse he gave to the costume designer was that he wanted to glue some blingbling accessories to his clothes, but in reality—
He planned to use this glue to complete his destructive mission.
Because in the original story told by System 999, Shen Sibai only discovered that there was a problem with his in-ear monitoring in the middle of the performance, so Xia Linxing and System 999 discussed it for a long time before coming up with this solution.
However, when hearing Lu Zimo and Shen Sibai chatting, although Xia Linxing knew that he had ruined the plot of Shen Sibai's ear return and actually helped Shen Sibai in the original book, he still... felt more and more guilty the more he listened.
Although he knew that the person Lu Zimo said Shen Sibai should be wary of was not him, Xia Linxing didn't know whether the emotionally broken trainee would eventually trip up Shen Sibai and the others, but he himself... did intend to sabotage Shen Sibai before the performance.

"Are you...doing something bad?"
Lu Zimo's suspicious eyes began to circle around Xia Linxing. He had just come to take a look, curious about what Xia Linxing was doing that made him so distracted that he didn't hear them calling him.
But now... Xia Linxing's evasive eyes and dry smile made Lu Zimo suddenly alert!
Although Xia Linxing has performed well during this period and has not caused any trouble, but... Lu Zimo still hasn't forgotten how arrogant Xia Linxing was before.
He (Xia Linxing) has learned from previous experience!
"Lu Zimo, don't threaten Xingxing!"
Xia Linxing opened her mouth, but before she could find an excuse to explain, Shen Sibai stepped forward and pulled Lu Zimo away from Xia Linxing's bed.
"You're so loud, you'll scare him!"
Lu Zimo curled his lips in dissatisfaction, but he obediently followed Shen Sibai's movements and retreated, but he kept nagging: "He's not made of paper, how can he be scared so easily..."
Chen Sibai knew that Xia Linxing had just recovered from a serious illness, but once this matter was brought up, it would involve the question of why Xia Linxing fell ill. So Chen Sibai could only swallow the real reason and make an excuse: "Xingxing is so small, and you are so big, and you are standing by her bed and asking questions in a fierce manner. Who wouldn't be scared..."
Lu Zimo touched his short hair and kept his mouth shut, not refuting this point. After all, those who didn't like him often used the words "he doesn't look like a good person/like a gangster" to criticize him.
Seeing that Lu Zimo had shut up, Chen Sibai turned to look at Xia Linxing, and in a completely different tone from when he spoke to Lu Zimo, he said softly to Xia Linxing: "Xingxing, do you want to go to dinner with us?"
Xia Linxing looked at Chen Sibai, then secretly glanced at Lu Zimo behind Chen Sibai, and finally shook his head.
"I, I won't go..."
"That's fine..." Shen Sibai reached out and touched Xia Linxing's forehead, "You can rest in the dormitory..." After all, Xia Linxing had just been ill, so rest was the most important thing.
"If there's anything you want us to bring back, tell me. Don't eat anything yourself—"
"Okay, let's go!"
Before Shen Sibai could finish his words, Lu Zimo, who had been waiting impatiently, pulled him over and said, "Are you his mother? Why do you care whether he eats or not and how he eats..."
"Xia Linxing is an adult, doesn't he even know how to eat?"
Xia Linxing, who was sent to the hospital late at night because of a stomach upset last night, felt as if his knee was hit by an arrow.
He lowered his head guiltily, and even Shen Sibai stopped what he was about to say.
"Hurry up and go to the cafeteria, otherwise you will have to queue later..." Lu Zimo naggingly pulled Shen Sibai away.
The dormitory door was closed, and Xia Linxing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He loosened his clenched fist, which he had hidden behind his back, revealing the little glue that was crumpled.
Although it wouldn't be a problem if Chen Sibai and Lu Zimo saw the glue now, and he could easily use the same excuse he had used to fool the costume designer to deceive these two people, Xia Linxing, feeling guilty, still held the glue tightly in his hand like a thief.
Fortunately, the quality of the glue tube was quite good. Even with Xia Linxing squeezing it so tightly, the glue didn't leak out, and the tube didn't burst. If the quality was even slightly worse... Xia Linxing could imagine how embarrassed she would be. She might even end up in the hospital three times because of the sticky glue.
After making sure that Shen Sibai and Lu Zimo outside the door had really gone far away, Xia Linxing climbed out of bed.
At the suggestion of System 999, he planned to "evaluate" the glue on his hand first -
He carefully squeezed out a little glue and checked the fluidity of the glue; then he took out an unused plastic ornament, smeared a little glue on it, looked at the clock on the wall, and began to calculate the surface drying time and the time for the glue to completely cure.
After doing all this and having a clear understanding of the properties of the glue, Xia Linxing carefully hid the glue in the drawer of the table.
——This thing is the key to whether Shen Sibai’s second son can become popular like the original novel!
…
The day of rehearsal soon arrived.
After his group finished rehearsing, Xia Linxing immediately sneaked away. He found where Shen Sibai and his group had left their belongings. It seemed that Shen Sibai's group had been called in by the instructor to give their final feedback, so there was no one in the lounge—which made it easy for Xia Linxing to do something bad.
Xia Linxing found Shen Sibai's earphone and unplugged the connecting cable. Then, he took out a small piece of glue from his pocket and squeezed it into the connection port little by little, occasionally using a toothpick he found in the cafeteria to carefully adjust the position of the glue and the thickness on the inner wall.
With that professional technique and that focused look, people who didn't know would think that Xia Linxing was doing some high-precision experiment.
But in Xia Linxing's view, he was doing a very serious experiment.
After all, there are some tricks to applying this glue!
After two days of experiments by Xia Linxing, he found that the glue could not completely cover the inner wall of the connection port - that would result in a failure to connect at the beginning, rather than failure in the middle.
His purpose is to make the connection port poor.
Poor contact means that it is sometimes connected and sometimes not - so it is best to hang the glue in vertical strips on the inner wall.
After finally adjusting the unsolidified glue into the shape he wanted, Xia Linxing began to count the time nervously - the trainees and staff outside were walking back and forth, and Xia Linxing was afraid that the glue would not have time to completely solidify and Shen Sibai and the others would come back.
After finally counting to the complete curing time tested earlier, Xia Linxing finally breathed a sigh of relief. He carefully poked the inner wall with a toothpick, and after confirming that the glue was completely cured, he plugged the connecting cable back in.
Now, all that's left is one final test to complete the mission—
He was thinking so happily when suddenly, he heard the sound of Shen Sibai and others talking as they walked towards the lounge outside the door.
