Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“What was the wish?” everyone asked Lin Shanchu curiously.

Lin Shanchu pondered for a moment before bursting into laughter again.

Her childhood wish was for Lu Shiyuan to be happy every day.

The wish she had when she was slightly older than that was for Lu Shiyuan to smile at her.

But she couldn’t say it out loud.

Lin Shanchu just shook her head.

Everyone was willing to be tolerant when it came to beautiful girls.

So, they didn’t press further.

“Then tell us your current wish.”

Everyone was curious about Lin Shanchu’s wish, considering how everything seemed to be going her way.

Her current wish?

To hope that Lu Shiyuan dies quickly maybe?

That was definitely something that can’t be said out loud.

Lin Shanchu looked up at the sky.

The weather was rarely this good. The stars were shimmering across the sky.

“My wish is to have world peace and for justice to prevail.”

As soon as she completed her sentence, laughter erupted all around.

Ran Zhimo, who was sitting opposite her, was laughing so hard that her body was swaying.

“When I was in kindergarten, my wish was also for world peace. Hahahaha!”

“I matured a little later. I still held on to this wish when I was in primary school…”

Lin Shanchu pointed to the stars in the sky and justified herself quite seriously, “My wish was genuinely sincere. The stars can testify.”

Everyone:

“Yes, the stars can testify. We believe you. We also hope for world peace.

Hahahaha…

“Group activities are always interesting with Lin Shanchu, she even knows how to tell dry jokes. Hahahaha…”

Two days later, the day of the ranking announcements arrived.

Many of the students were so nervous they couldn’t sleep. Even before the rankings were released, they already burst into tears.

The official broadcast started.

Lin Shanchu had already started contemplating where she should go after leaving the training camp.

After thinking about it, she realized that she doesn’t really seem to have any other place to go with her luggage except to the Lu Corporation.

Her priority right now was to think of finding a room to rent.

This was why when the camera cut to Lin Shanchu, they caught her in a daze. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Comment section:

[Does Lin Shanchu know that she’s going to be eliminated?]

[Lin Shanchu’s fans are incredible. They actually managed to get Lin Shanchu into the elimination zone.]

[I don’t think the production crew will actually let Lin Shanchu go.] The instructors and hosts slowly filled the stage.

After a simple greeting, it was time to announce the rankings.

The atmosphere in the studio changed dramatically.

Some were laughing, some were crying, some were terrified, and some felt relieved.

Finally, it was time for the last elimination spot.

The audience in the live chat was equally nervous as the contestants who had yet to have their ranks announced.

Mentor Qin Shuya stepped forward, “I’d like to announce the person in last place. Is that okay?”

The others agreed by making way for Qin Shuya.

Qin Shuya held the name list with a regretful expression.

“The contestant in last place is…”

Comment section:

[With that look… It’s definitely going to be Lin Shanchu.]

[No way. Does the production crew really dare to do this?]

[I don’t believe it’s Lin Shanchu.]

[I don’t think the production crew can afford it.]

[I just want to see Lin Shanchu’s expression when she finds out that she’s been eliminated.]

Qin Shuya spotted Lin Shanchu in the crowd on the spot.

Then, he called out her name word by word.

“Lin… Shan… Chu!”

The other contestants were all in disbelief.

Many contestants raised their hands high, wishing for a chance to ask their questions.

Following the director’s instructions, Qin Shuya deliberately did not pick contestants who had a close relationship with Lin Shanchu. Instead, he picked a random person, “What do you wish to say?

The contestant who was pointed out asked with a serious expression, “Is this ranking fair and just?”

“Yes!” Qin Shuya replied.

The contestants clearly did not accept his answer.

“How is that possible?”

“Lin Shanchu has been ranked first place for two consecutive episodes.”

“How could she fall out of the debut zone?” “What exactly is the production crew doing?!” Comment section:

[So many people were speaking up for Lin Shanchu?]

[Lin Shanchu is quite popular.]

[Is the production crew serious?]

[Am I the only one who thinks that Lin Shanchu’s fans are terrifyingly united?]

[Same here, I think they’re too united. If they decide to eliminate, they will eliminate!]

The contestants were all riled up.

All eyes were on the production crew and they began to bombard them with questions.

The production crew members could hardly cope with the response.

Comment section:

[Amazing. After watching so many talent shows, this is the first time I’m seeing something like this.]

[This will definitely incite rebellion, how thrilling! ]

[The production crew has really earned themselves the biggest resentment award.]

[As expected, we can always trust the production crew. They always manage to surprise us…]

The situation was about to get out of control.

The director had to step in to personally explain, “Our show is absolutely fair and just. Every vote made for Lin Shanchu was cast by her fans.”

“The reason Lin Shanchu ended up in the elimination zone this time is because her fans want her to switch paths…”

Even the director felt that Lin Shanchu’s fans’ actions were a bit extreme, which made his explanation sound uncertain.

The contestants still questioned the situation.

After all, they had never seen such a thing before.

What loyal fans would want their idol to be eliminated?

In front of the camera, everyone still tried to speak politely. However, there were also some who were straightforward.

“What a load of nonsense!”

“You dare to take action but don’t dare to take responsibility for it, right?”

The director couldn’t take it anymore and directly handed the microphone to Lin Shanchu. “Lin Shanchu, explain yourself.”

Comment section:

[This is the most pathetic director I’ve ever seen.]

[This scene can probably be included in the ‘Pathetic Director Compilation’.]

Lin Shanchu deliberately kept silent because she wanted to see the director panic.

Who asked him to be so mean to her in the past few episodes?

The staff ran over and stuffed the microphone into Lin Shanchu’s hands.

“The director is right. Every vote I received was cast by my fans.” Lin Shanchu’s voice echoed and everyone quieted down.

“There’s no need to doubt the production crew. They have always been fair and just.”

“Thank you, everyone.”

Lin Shanchu bowed to everyone solemnly.

She was actually surprised that so many people were willing to stand up for her.

After all, she was usually busy with training and wasn’t very social. She had only met a lot of the trainees briefly face-to-face and did not have deep connections with them.

This world had more people with good intentions.

Scum like Lu Shiyuan was rare.

“Just because I’m leaving this place, doesn’t mean it’s the end.”

“As the director said, I’m just moving onto another path and will continue to move forward.’

“I wish that everyone would be able to see the light and reach their dreams to distant places. ”

Lin Shanchu looked at these youthful faces and felt moved.

They had touched her heart in ways beyond what she had expected.

She hoped that these beautiful girls could all see the light and reach their dreams to distant places.

Even if those luxurious things could no longer be hers.

This path full of light and blooming flowers had never been hers to walk in the first place.

Her path was on the other side.

She had deviated from the light long ago.

Life had come to a dark place..
