Chapter 4, of course, is about forgiving him!
The night was thick, and the fence outside the training base became a cold dividing line. The barbed wire mesh cut through the distant streetlights, casting crisscrossing, long, thin shadows.
The air was chilly with the approaching night, and the breath exhaled turned into a small cloud of white mist that quickly dissipated.
Outside the fence, figures lingered, and fans who remained there late into the night chatted quietly, their whispers mingling together.
Most of them were wearing thick coats, but they held up light boards, banners and various colored support banners with names and pictures of their faces on them, trembling slightly in the cold wind.
When the heavy side door of the base was finally pushed open, and several figures dragged out, utterly exhausted, the silence outside the fence was instantly ignited.
"They're out! They're out!"
In an instant, countless suppressed, urgent, and almost trembling screams, accompanied by the shouting of many names, pierced through the cold night air.
"Wan Yu! Look at your mother!"
"Zhang Zhekai, you've worked hard! Go back and get some rest!"
"Zheng Anqi, you're amazing! We'll always support you!"
Click. Click. Click.
The lenses of mobile phones and cameras focused instantly, and white lights flashed wildly, like a sudden burst of stars, cold and dazzling, precisely hitting the young people who had just finished training and whose faces still had blank and tired expressions.
Their faces appeared even paler under the bright light, and the dark circles under their eyes were clearly visible.
The boys whose names were called instinctively lifted their heavy eyelids, looked in the direction of the voice, and smiled through their fatigue, waving to the fans: "You've all worked hard!" "Go back and rest early, everyone!"
However, all of this was irrelevant to Lin Suxing, who was still in shock and thought, "It's not delicious!"
A cold wind brushed against his face, and Lin Suxing wrapped his Burberry trench coat tighter around himself, complaining to the system, "I think Meng Huaiwen could just fly to Rome's Leonardo da Vinci Airport first, then take the A line (red line) of the metro to Ottaviano San Pietro station, follow the crowd, or look for signs on the roadside, and follow the signs for 'St. Peter's Basilica.' It'll be about a 15-minute walk to St. Peter's Square. Then he could join the queue in the square, which might take an hour during peak season. After that, he could go into St. Peter's Basilica for free. Inside is Michelangelo's masterpiece, the sculpture of the Virgin Mary holding Jesus. He could just go over there, smash the Virgin Mary down with a hammer, and then sit on her and hold Jesus in his place."
The system nearly short-circuited from laughing: "Hahahaha! Host, you seem so calm, but your吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or witty remarks) skills are surprisingly strong! This is hilarious!"
The other contestants also heard Lin Suxing's thoughts. At this moment, everyone tacitly turned to a direction where Meng Huaiwen could not see them, trying their best to suppress the smiles that were about to burst from their mouths.
They also felt that Lin Suxing's criticism was spot on, and that Meng Huaiwen was practically a saint reincarnated for forgiving such a thing.
Meng Huaiwen and Sun Xin went to a late-night snack shop and didn't hear Lin Suxing and the system's complaints.
The members of Group D followed the flow of people out of the training building and gradually approached the fence where the fans were.
As night fell, fans persisted outside the fence, holding up fluorescent banners and light sticks, waiting for a fan service that might never actually appear.
Lin Suxing was still immersed in everything that had happened today when he was suddenly interrupted by a girl's sweet and clear voice: "Suxing! Suxing ahhhhh! Good luck with the performance!"
Lin Suxing looked up and saw four or five girls waving banners with their names on them, looking excited and happy.
Without much hesitation, Lin Suxing walked towards them and, noticing the fatigue on their faces, said solemnly, "I'm sorry, I trained late today, so I'm back very late. You should also go back and rest early; it's cold."
Lin Suxing felt a little guilty for making the girls wait for him until so late when he returned to his dormitory from training.
In the past few days, the shuttle buses would drive right up to the training room entrance, and fans often couldn't even catch a glimpse of their idols. But these past few days, because the training time has been later, the shuttle buses have become smaller buses, stopping at the parking lot in front of the building. As a result, the fans went especially crazy today.
The fans hadn't seen Lin Suxing for a long time, and they were so excited they were almost incoherent: "Ahhh, Suxing! How was your training today!"
"That's good." Lin Suxing smiled and then told them to go back early. If they didn't see him by then, it meant he was still training and they shouldn't wait for him anymore.
Next to the area where fans gathered, there were several fansite admins with "big gun" cameras, waiting for the popular contestants, and the sound of them frantically pressing the shutter was constant.
Even if the photos aren't of their own favorite characters, they can still sell them at a high price to fans from other fan sites that didn't participate.
The system suddenly became active: "Hehehe, there's more juicy gossip! Host, do you want to hear it?"
Lin Suxing: ?
During this time, he noticed that the system liked to use gossip to entice him, and guessed that there was another mission coming up, so he asked directly, "Is there another mission?"
As if reading his mind, the system quickly replied, "The main quest you just completed—getting the center position in the group—is this the first side quest? The quest objective is to [gain over one million Weibo followers within 48 hours]~"
The talent show operates on a closed system, prohibiting the use of mobile phones to contact the outside world. Lin Suxing vaguely remembers having over 400,000 fans before she came, but she's not sure about the number now.
Lin Suxing casually asked, "What's this 'melon'? How many followers do I have now? Not far off, I can work harder."
The system immediately replied obsequiously, "Host, you currently have 782,000 followers! As for gossip, hehe..."
The fans exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes filled with undisguised shock and confusion. Their conversations were drowned out by the shouts of the fans behind them: "Did you hear anything? Just now?" "Yes, I heard it. It's so strange, Su Xing didn't even open her mouth..." "Am I hallucinating because I've been in the cold wind for too long..."
"Last year, the female version of Produce became the most popular show in the history of talent shows as soon as it aired. Yang Xueran, who debuted in the center position in this show, has a fan site manager who is hated by everyone in the entire talent show circle and even the entire fan circle of all celebrities. This is because she ran away with the money, not only defrauding casual fans of millions of yuan, but also defrauding a lot of big fans of money."
The system's explanation was detailed and persuasive, but what followed was like a bombshell, exploding in the hearts of the fans outside the fence: "This money-grubbing sister who calls herself Grape Sister is now pursuing a male version of Produce Producer, planning to replicate last year's path and scam another round of money."
The fangirl in the gray beanie, who was snapping photos of the contestants, almost dropped her five-figure camera when her hand trembled!
She looked at Lin Suxing, who walked past her with a calm expression and without saying a word, with surprise and confusion.
The "Beanie Fan Site Admin" is the fan site admin for Mattia, one of the top 10 international contestants in this year's talent show. Her ID is Chocolate Puff. Last year, she was also scammed out of over 100,000 yuan by Grape Sister under the pretext of jointly funding the purchase of materials. She deeply resents Grape Sister. Several of her friends who follow celebrities together have also been scammed by Grape Sister.
Lin Suxing frowned slightly and asked the system, "This person cheated people out of money and wasn't caught, yet he dares to commit crimes again against the wind?"
The system was most confident in its gossip abilities, and at this moment it smirked and said, "My ability to collect gossip was second to none in the previous gossip system area, so you don't have to worry about the accuracy of my information, host~ This Sister Grape went to speculate on cryptocurrency and bet after scamming money, thinking that she could make more and more money, but in reality she quickly lost all her money, so she came back to scam her fans again because no one knew what she looked like before."
"Will she fool my fans?" Lin Suxing subconsciously looked back at the place he had just passed, only to see the girls in fluffy coats still looking at him. When they saw him turn around, they immediately jumped and waved their arms happily.
Seeing that he was indeed concerned, the system immediately said, "Host, to know the details, please complete the [One Million Weibo Followers within 48 Hours] task! You're only 200,000 short. Perform well in the group's live stream the day after tomorrow, and you should be able to achieve it~"
After hearing the system's words, Chocolate Puff's initial doubts were dispelled. After Lin Suxing left, she immediately took out her phone and dialed her friend's number: "Sisters, we've found the whereabouts of that bastard Grape who cheated us out of money."
“I don’t know her specific situation yet, but... it’s related to Lin Suxing.”
"Tonight I'll work through the night to edit Lin Suxing's promotional video and post it on various platforms like Bilibili, Douyin, and E-commerce. You guys help me get more views, and it's fine if you use your promotional matrix, I'll cover the cost! Soon... we'll be able to catch the people who scammed us!"
*
Rows of fluorescent light tubes hung from the towering ceiling, and huge mirrored walls occupied the entire wall of each practice room. Intense rap segments burst out from the crack in the door of the adjacent practice room, faintly reaching Lin Suxing's ears.
Some teammates have already started practicing dance moves, twisting their bodies in front of the mirror to repeatedly adjust a certain angle; some teammates are huddled together, staring at the dance video playing on a loop on the tablet screen and learning; and some are slumped against the wall, their heads tilted back against the cold wall, pretending they don't exist.
This person is Lin Suxing.
"I'll come find you for lunch, shall we?" A sweet, coquettish young man's voice suddenly rang out from outside the door, and Lin Suxing immediately opened her eyes.
This is Sun Xin's voice.
Lin Suxing thought that Sun Xin coming to see Meng Huaiwen last night was an exception, but he didn't expect her to come again today!
If Sun Xin and Meng Huaiwen were deliberately keeping their distance a few days ago, Sun Xin has stopped acting altogether today.
More than the contestants on the show finding out about her relationship, Sun Xin was afraid that Meng Huaiwen would dump her.
After all, Meng Huaiwen is a fool with abundant resources. Being able to get on Meng Huaiwen's good side is already a huge win, and I absolutely cannot let go of this coveted opportunity.
But it's clear that Meng Huaiwen is unaware that he's being used as a tool, and is still immersed in the sweet romance of a young boy.
"Okay, you can go back now, training is about to start." When saying goodbye to Sun Xin, Meng Huaiwen's face was filled with an undisguised sweet smile.
Lin Suxing: "..."
He couldn't help but complain.
Seeing my boyfriend hooking up with another man and moaning so wildly, how can I 'of course forgive him'?!
And then today you can just act like nothing happened, like you've never seen your boyfriend eat someone else's popsicle, and continue your sweet, romantic relationship as if nothing's happened?
The system couldn't help but say, "Host, actually, Sun Xin has other information to share, but I can't tell you directly just to urge you to complete the task."
He Jiayang: ? ? There's more to this story??
He and Zhang Xi exchanged bewildered glances: "We need more of this kind of gossip that sounds like it'll get us killed!" they thought. "Let them help us complete this mission!"
A note from the author:
----------------------
Please add my pre-order novel, "Transmigrated as the Adopted Human Son of the Evil God's Family," to your collection!
Yu Xing transmigrated into a book. He entered a post-apocalyptic novel with a slight Cthulhu element and became the human adopted son of the evil god's entire family.
Other transmigrators in parallel worlds have chosen to betray the evil god to humans, only to be discovered and their entire family brutally murdered; some have chosen to side with the evil god and become obedient adopted sons, only to die tragically when the evil god is sealed away; and some have chosen to leave, only to be devoured by their extremely controlling evil god brother, leaving not even a bone fragment.
Yu Xing decided to use physical force to force them to kick him out of their home.
