Yun Wu also wanted to take a photo with Lin Shanchu.

But there were too many people so she could not squeeze in.

She noticed that a staff member was looking at the live chat messages, so she went over to join them.

The staff member moved aside to make room for Yun Wu.

The comments in the live chat were flooding in rapidly.

When the camera switched to her, everyone saw Yun Wu looking at the comments and the viewers started sending her their greetings.

[Great master, I bow to you.]

[How are your preparations for the third round of performances going?] [Why didn’t you go take a photo with Lin Shanchu?]

Yun Wu gave her reply to the last message, “I couldn’t squeeze in.”

Her response amused the viewers.

Jiang Tang replied: [Ah Wu, could you help me get a photo of Sister Lin’s bunny outfit? I want it signed.]

“Dream on,” Yun Wu joked. Jiang Tang begged: [Pleasee?]

“Call me ‘sister’.”

[You wish.]

Everyone else who witnessed this was laughing in the comments.

Jiang Tang and Yun Wu exchanged a few more words before ending their conversation.

Yun Wu stayed on to reply to some of the messages she felt were quite interesting.

Then, she saw someone ask:

[How was Lin Shanchu discovered?]

The comment was quickly pushed back by other incoming comments.

Yun Wu stared at the screen thoughtfully for two seconds before deciding to turn to Lin Shanchu, who was still busy taking photos.

“Shanshan, someone asked how your phone hiding incident was discovered?” Yun Wu’s tone was extremely calm as if she was casually relaying a message.

Lin Shanchu gave Yun Wu a calm stare back before saying lightly, “I was playing with my phone in the toilet when Xia Jinmeng found out.”

Both of them appeared as if they were having a normal conversation.

After receiving the answer, Yun Wu let out an “oh” as she came to a realization.

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room suddenly changed.

The comment section exploded:

[Rumor has it that Lin Shanchu and Xia Jinmeng don’t get along, is that true?]

[Xia Jinmeng looks like a nice person. Why would she do something like report someone?]

[I hate snitches the most.]

[What kind of mindset are you guys having? Xia Jinmeng didn’t do anything wrong, did she?]

[Is it possible that Xia Jinmeng reported Lin Shanchu because she refused to let Xia Jinmeng use her phone?]

There were all kinds of comments in the comment section, turning the situation lively.

Xia Jinmeng had already left once Lin Shanchu’s performance ended, so she had no idea what was going on in the live chat.

The other trainees were trying to hide their expressions.

When the director came to collect Lin Shanchu’s phone that day, they all saw Xia Jinmeng take the phone out of Lin Shanchu’s pocket.

There was no doubt that Xia Jinmeng was the one who reported Lin Shanchu’s possession of her phone.

Even though Xia Jinmeng could be suspected of reporting her based on personal grudges, at the end of the day, she still didn’t do anything wrong.

This matter could have gone both ways.

If no one mentioned it, it could have easily been swept under the rug.

But now that Lin Shanchu, one of the people involved in this, mentioned it in public, the whole matter became a little sensitive.

The audience loved this kind of drama.

More people entered the stream after hearing the news. [I heard Xia Jinmeng reported Lin Shanchu for hiding her phone?] [Lin Shanchu and Xia Jinmeng were fighting in public?]

[The entertainment industry usually doesn’t bring these kinds of feuds are usually not brought to the surface. Lin Shanchu really likes to take the unconventional approach.]

[Is it okay to talk about this in public?]

[Well, it’s out in the open now. How exciting!]

Some of the trainees who were close to Xia Jinmeng in the live broadcast room secretly told Xia Jinmeng what was happening there.

Just as Lin Shanchu was about to leave when her photo session finally ended, Xia Jinmeng arrived.

Comment section:

[Xia Jinmeng is here!]

[I’ve never wanted to see Xia Jinmeng more than at this moment.]

The two of them stood face to face.

Xia Jinmeng smiled and started, “I’m sorry. At that time, I thought that everyone was supposed to follow the rules without exception. So, naturally, I had to tell the director about your secret phone stash.”

The fact was that Lin Shanchu hid a phone. No matter how she tried to argue, she was always in the wrong.

Xia Jinmeng understood this, which was why she dared to confront Lin Shanchu.

“You’re right,” Lin Shanchu said calmly.

Indeed, Lin Shanchu had nothing else to say.

“Don’t let there be a next time,” Xia Jinmeng advised her kindly.

Lin Shanchu chuckled, “Even if there was a next time, I still wouldn’t lend you my phone. ”

Xia Jinmeng’s expression dropped.

“What nonsense are you talking about? Did I ask to borrow your phone? Why are you accusing me?” she spoke in an aggrieved tone.

Xia Jinmeng’s fans in the comment section immediately spoke up. [Lin Shanchu is too arrogant. How dare she slander Mengmeng in public!] [Mengmeng would never do such a thing.]

[Our Mengmeng is an idol who only cares about her performance and the stage. She’s different from those who don’t follow rules and hide phones.] [Does Lin Shanchu not think before speaking? She just spouts nonsense.] The rest of the netizens who were watching the show gave their input.

[So… we guessed right?]

[My favorite segment is here again.]

[Amazing program, I love it.]

Lin Shanchu stared at Xia Jinmeng for two seconds, before a look of satisfaction flashed across her eyes.

Xia Jinmeng was exactly like Tang Qidai.

Whether she was right or wrong, she would deny it shamelessly with no feelings of remorse and turn the tables back to Lin Shanchu.

“Accuse you?” Lin Shanchu’s smile widened, “What could I gain out of that?” That one simple phrase was enough to put Xia Jinmeng in utter disdain.

In terms of family background, looks, and popularity, there was nothing Xia Jinmeng had that could compete with Lin Shanchu in any way.

Lin Shanchu had no reason to accuse Xia Jinmeng.

Xia Jinmeng was furious, but she had nothing to refute so she could only stand there and be speechless.

Xia Jinmeng’s fans were also as furious.

[What’s with Lin Shanchu’s attitude?!]

[Mengmeng is so wronged. Why is Lin Shanchu treating her like this?!]

The rest of the audience was commenting:

[Sister is so arrogant. I love her.]

[Does Xia Jinmeng think that no one knows that she bullied the other members when she was overseas?]

[I’m dying of laughter. Lin Shanchu is simply a loser in the entertainment industry.]

[I feel like Lin Shanchu is a little crazy, but I don’t hate her. It’s strange.] [Could this be what they call the legendary audience appeal?]

Lin Shanchu pushed Xia Jinmeng aside and left the live broadcast room.

Naturally, Xia Jinmeng couldn’t stay in the live broadcast room any longer, so she chased after Lin Shanchu.

With both parties gone, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room calmed down a lot.

The production crew also arranged for the other trainees to interact with the fans in the comments.

They skipped over the comments that were still discussing the incident between Lin Shanchu and Xia Jinmeng and selected some of the other interesting comments to let the trainees interact accordingly.

The live broadcast continued.

After leaving the live broadcast room, Lin Shanchu went straight back to her dormitory to change her clothes.

When she came out of the bathroom after changing, she saw Xia Jinmeng standing guard at the door.

“Is this how you help me?”

Lin Shanchu actually embarrassed her in front of everyone in the live broadcast room!

If this matter were to spread, Lu Shiyuan would definitely not have a good impression of her.

Lin Shanchu chuckled.

Then, she said in an especially serious tone, “Why don’t I set up a memorial

tablet in your honor?”
