Chapter 157: There Will Always Be Someone Who Loves You For Who You Are

As Lin Shanchu hurriedly left the training room, she faintly heard her teammates talking.
“She seems a bit anxious.”
“Well, who wouldn’t be?”
“I wonder what her fans are thinking. ” “However, she isn’t putting on airs at all…”
“You’re just realizing that?”
Lin Shanchu felt a bit withdrawn.
She also wanted to know what her fans, who worked so hard to push her to the top, were thinking.
Even if they were to choose a square dance song for her, she wouldn’t complain.
But she truly couldn’t rap.
Out of habit, Lin Shanchu locked herself into the innermost cubicle stall.
Then, she took out her phone and went online.
She pulled up the search bar…
Good heavens!
There were multiple topics about her going viral on the trending search list.
#LinShanChu’sThirdPerformanceIslandIntheSky
#LinShanchu’sFans
#LinShanchu’sGreatInjustice
#LinShanchu’sHatersFeelHeartache
All the other trending topics related to ‘#MyStage’ and the selection process had all been overshadowed.
Despite filling up most of the top search list spots, her topics had not made it to the top of the list…
The number one most trending topic was ‘#AlecReturnsToChina’.
Alec?
The SOF member that Ning Yunxi liked so much?
Was he also in China?
A few days ago, all of Sang Min’s trending topics vanished without a trace overnight, and there have been no follow-up reports since.
Now suddenly, one of the team members, Alec, had been speculated to have returned to the country. Especially since there wasn’t any follow-up, this naturally attracted the media’s attention.
Lin Shanchu clicked on the topic.
She thought she would see interviews or videos related to it, but all that was shown was a blurry paparazzi photo of Alec.
She noticed some people had mentioned Sang Min as well.
[Why did Alec return so quickly? What’s going on with Sang Min’s situation?] [It’s been days, isn’t the company going to explain to Sang Min’s fans?]
[Weren’t Alec and Sang Min the closest bandmates? Seeing as he returned out of the blue like this, does he not care about Sang Min anymore?]
[The company hasn’t concluded yet, so they must still be investigating. What do you expect Alec to do?]
[What? Are they not allowed to move on with their life? Let Sang Min’s family handle his matters! Alec and Sang Min were just bandmates, not real brothers…]
[Do Alec’s fans reallv have to zet so defensive? They were just savinq that Alec’s
return was too quick and it wasn’t considerate to Sang Min, that’s all.]
[Stop talking as if Alec caused Sang Min’s death! You guys better watch your words!]
The two fanbases started arguing.
However, it was clear that Alec’s fans were more numerous and more capable of confrontation.
So, Sang Min’s fans soon retreated.
Regardless of whether the team disbanded or not, it was not uncommon for fans to fight each other in the entertainment industry.
Lin Shanchu exited the topic and clicked on the ones related to herself.
She wanted to see why her fans chose ‘Island In the Sky’ for her.
As soon as she entered the topic discussion, she saw a series of posts from her haters sympathizing with her.
Then, she scrolled down to see the posts by her fans that were tagged with the hashtag.
[We’ve been researching for so long and finally found Sister’s weakness. Let’s hope that she will be eliminated from acting.]
[Ranking isn’t the most important thing, popularity is.]
[Sister is already popular now. Even if she doesn’t debut, it doesn’t mean that everyone’s money was wasted.]
[That’s right. If we manage to successfully eliminate her, the other sisters would be able to have another opportunity to showcase their outstanding professional abilities.]
Lin Shanchu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
But as she read further, she unexpectedly felt more and more that her fans had a point.
Her original intention for joining ‘My Stage’ was to avoid being captured and imprisoned by Lu Shiyan.
She wasn’t particularly interested in singing and dancing.
When she stumbled across Nan Mu, she had already made it clear that she would not have a chance in this.
Her expertise lies in acting.
What she didn’t expect was for everything to develop opposite from what she had imagined.
She immediately soared into the debut position and consistently maintained first place.
Lin Shanchu was torn.
These fans, who were strangers to her, could have the same thoughts as her.
In this world, there were really people who were paying attention to her from afar. She just couldn’t see them.
As Lin Shanchu exits the topic, she sees a new trending topic.
#JiangTangTalksAboutLinShanchu’sThirdPerformanceSongSelection Jiang Tang? Yun Wu’s friend?
Lin Shanchu remembered her because the last time she visited the set, she brought Lin Shanchu a gift.
Lin Shanchu clicked into it.
The pinned post on the topic is an interview recording of Jiang Tang conducted by a journalist.
The journalist started by asking, “As a big fan of Lin Shanchu, what are your thoughts on the fan vote for song selection?”
Jiang Tang continued with her reply, “Initially when I first heard about this, I wasn’t really in favor of it.”
“Why did you change your mind?”
“Well, it’s not exactly a change of mind actually because our fans’ opinions are secondary. Sister’s thoughts are the most important.”
“Then can you confirm whether Lin Shanchu wants to debut or pursue acting? “The finals will be after this third performance. If Sister wants to debut, she will definitely reveal her intention to debut in the upcoming live streams. It’s still too early to conclude.”
“You are truly an extraordinary fan. I’m so envious. It almost brings me to tears.”
“No need to be envious. In life, there will always be someone in this world who loves you for who you are.”
After a moment of silence, the journalist said, “One last thing…”
“Go ahead.”
“I’m actually a huge fan of yours! I look up to you a lot!”
Jiang Tang was caught by surprise, “Really? Thank you.”
The journalist continued, “And I think after this interview, I’ve grown to like you even more. Sob, sob, sob…”
And the video ended there.
This little girl, Jiang Tang, really had an element of surprise to her.
After all, they were good friends of Yun Wu.
However…
If Yunwu knew that JiangTang has been constantly voting and supporting her, would she be jealous?
Lin Shanchu couldn’t help but smile at the thought of this.
She kept her phone back in her pocket and reminisced on what Jiang Tang said at the end of the interview:
‘There will always be someone in this world who loves you for who you are.’ It turned out that there was really someone in this world who loved her that way.
And their love is genuine, not hypocritical.
Lin Shanchu sat in her feelings for a while before opening the cubicle door to leave.
The cubicle door swung open to reveal an angry Xia Jinmeng standing outside.
She crossed her arms and glared at Lin Shanchu with an unfriendly expression.
It looked like she had been waiting for her for a while.
Lin Shanchu looked at her expressionlessly.
Xia Jinmeng arrogantly raises her chin and asks, “Lin Shanchu, you promised to help me snatch Lu Shiyuan away. Are you going back on your word?”
In these past few days, Lin Shanchu had not been making any moves on this.
She hasn’t told Xia Jinmeng about Lu Shiyuan’s preferences or any other details about him, which was why Xia Jinmeng suspects that Lin Shanchu wants to go back on her promise.
She must be worried that if Xia Jinmeng snatches Lu Shiyuan away, she will have one more competitor!
Smack!
Without warning, Lin Shanchu suddenly slaps Xia Jinmeng..
