Lin Shanchu glanced at Huo Chaosheng.
“Oh.”
Huo Chaosheng was aware that the atmosphere in the training room became somewhat strange after he called out Lin Shanchu.
Once he looked up, Lin Shanchu and her teammates all looked down to study their lyrics.
Huo Chaosheng frowned slightly and said, “Go on, begin.”

[Does Alec know that he picked a Bronze?]
[Based on his expression, I don’t think he knows.]
[What if Lin Shanchu has been training hard recently and has made great progress in her rapping?]
[Her performance is starting!]
Recently, everyone had been constantly working on their lyrics.
Lin Shanchu had just finalized her lyrics last night and hadn’t had the time to memorize them yet.
So, she just recited the rap according to the lyrics.
Huo Chaosheng’s exceptional qualities as a male idol had always allowed him to maintain a perfect expression. However, at this moment, there was a visible crack in his facade.
Comment section:
[Alec’s expression is so funny.]
[Alec is like: ‘I can’t take it anymore.’]
[Alec must be thinking: ‘What the hell is she rapping about?’]
After Lin Shanchu completed her recital, she put down her lyric book and looked at Huo Chaosheng.
Huo Chaosheng calmed down and asked Lin Shanchu in a confused tone, “Do you know how to rap?”
“No.” Lin Shanchu replied with a straight face.
Huo Chaosheng was so shocked, he choked on his words, “Then why did you choose this song?
“Fans voted for it.”
“You have that many haters?”
“Don’t spout nonsense. They all love me very much. They spent a lot of money to vote for me.”
Although Lin Shanchu herself was doubting whether or not her fans were full of haters, she still had to defend them in front of others.
A look of disbelief appeared on Huo Chaoseng’s face.
He took a deep breath, scanned through the others, and pointed at Ran Zhimo who seemed more of a rapper.
“You go.”
Ran Zhimo was a professional.
With Lin Shanchu as a comparison, Huo Chaosheng can’t help but compliment, “Not bad.”
Although the other three students did not receive any praise from Huo
Chaosheng, they felt relieved and calmly went through the entire session.
During the break, the other teammates rested while Lin Shanchu was left behind for Huo Chaosheng to have a one- on-one session with her.
“Control your breath, grasp the rhythm, and follow me.” Huo Chaosheng was very serious when he was teaching.
He gave off the impression that he was a very normal, outstanding male celebrity.
Compared to the first time they met, he seemed like a completely different person now.
This made Lin Shanchu feel a strong sense of detachment.
But of course, Lin Shanchu was still keen on learning from him diligently.
After all, she values respect between people.
After running through it a few times, Huo Chaosheng placed the lyric book aside.
“What has your mentor said so far?” “My mentor didn’t say anything.” Huo Chaosheng was speechless.
Comment section:
[Lin Shanchu’s mentor for this round was Bai Yu, right?]
[Director! I want to see the look on Bai Yu’s face when Lin Shanchu made him speechless.]
[Alec probably wants to talk to Bai Yu right now.]
Huo Chaosheng took a deep breath as he crossed his arms, “Lin Shanchu, I’ve seen your performances on stage. Although you’re not a professional, you were flawless. So, why can’t you rap?”
“Not everyone is an outstanding, all-rounded artist like you.”
Everyone knew that all the members of SOF were all-rounded talents.
Huo Chaosheng laughed, “Then what do you plan to do after debuting as a group?
“Perhaps I won’t be able to form a team.”
Huo Chaosheng had nothing else to say.
This woman appeared soft and weak, but when she spoke, she was as steady and as unwavering as a donkey. That left him speechless.
He couldn’t even win an argument against a woman?
“I’m tired. I’ll go and rest for a while,” Huo Chaosheng stood up and left.
“Thank you. I appreciate your effort.”
Lin Shanchu’s gentle voice sounded from behind.
Huo Chaosheng turned around and glanced at her.
The woman had a smile on her lips, appearing gentle and harmless.
Huo Chaosheng sucked his teeth and said, “It’s not that hard. I just need a while before we continue.”
Comment section:
[Alec seems to have broken through his defense.]
[Do you think Alec will come back?]
[I suspect that Alec is going to look for the production crew to terminate his contract.]
Once the live recording started, the contestants from the other groups found out that the partnering guest for ‘Island in the Sky’ was Alec.
Whenever they were given a break, they ran straight to Lin Shanchu’s training room to look for Alec.
“I heard that the guest for your group is Alec. Where is he?”
“Oh, how my heart aches! I remember there was a time when I had a chance to be on the same stage as Alec, but I didn’t cherish it.”
“What’s Alec like? Is he gentle?”
But soon, their break time was over and everyone returned to their respective training rooms.
Huo Chaosheng returned at this moment, causing the trainees who came to see him to miss him by a few minutes.
Lunchtime arrived quickly.
Yun Wu, who usually appeared very punctually at the door of Lin Shanchu’s practice room during mealtimes, was not here today.
Lin Shanchu planned to go to Yun Wu’s training room to find her.
As soon as she stepped out of the room, she saw Yun Wu lurking by the door and peeping into the training room.
“Yun Wu?”
Yun Wu was startled to hear Lin Shanchu’s voice, “Huh?” “Are you here to see Alec?” Lin Shanchu asked.
“No,” Yun Wu shook her head in denial.
Then she peeped inside and asked, “Is Alec gone?”
“Yes, he left early. Let’s go and eat.” Lin Shanchu looked at the clock. It was already ten minutes past mealtime.
This was the first time Yun Wu had taken such a long time to come ni look for her to get a meal together.
Besides that, while they were eating, Yun Wu still seemed a little distracted.
Even the portion of food she got was half the amount she usually got.
Lin Shanchu was worried that she might not be getting enough to eat.
Yun Wu suddenly turned to look at her bad said, “Shanshan, I don’t think you would believe me if I told you…”
“You haven’t even told me yet. How will you know if I won’t believe you?” Lin Shanchu vaguely knew what she was going to say.
“Alec and I are old acquaintances.”
Yun Wu spoke in a hushed voice as if she was guilty of it.
If Lin Shanchu hadn’t been focusing enough, she might be caught off guard by what Yun Wu said.
But as she expected, Yun Wu had been wanting to tell her about this. She replied, “I believe you.”
Yun Wu had been acting strangely since Sang Min was met with an accident during the farewell party.
Lin Shanchu had a feeling that Yun Wu might not just be an acquaintance to Huo Chaosheng, but also to the entire SOF.
“Alec has a bad temper…” Yun Wu earnestly reminded her, “… and his fans can also be very aggressive. Stay away from him to avoid getting scolded by his fans.”
“He has a bad temper?”
Back in the training room, Huo Chaosheng did get irritated by her ‘rap skills’ , but didn’t lose his temper.
He also didn’t look like someone who would lose his temper often.
Yun Wu nodded firmly as she replied, “Yes.”
“Okay.”
Lin Shanchu didn’t say much more and changed the topic, “This is not enough, isn’t it? I’ll go get some more food for you.”
Yun Wu nodded eagerly and made a heart with her fingers, “Get more prawns.”
On her way to the food counter, Lin Shanchu passed by Xia Jinmeng’s table.
Xia Jinmeng’s plate was still full and she barely touched her food.
Lin Shanchu stopped in her tracks and went over to ask gently, “Why aren’t you eating? Are you too tired from training? Was that why you don’t have an appetite?
