Chapter 60: She Seems So Cold and Aloof

"You don't even know him? Yan Yushu, he's been quite popular lately, a traffic-driving fresh meat." Tong Shen explained casually, "I didn't expect anyone could invite him over."

A beautiful female celebrity sitting alone on the sofa next door suddenly stood up and walked over to greet Yan Yushu.

"Why did you just get here?"

Yan Yushu replied, "There was a bit of traffic on the way."

Lin Sui asked Tong Shen in a low voice, not quite understanding, "Can male celebrities with high traffic just do this now?"

Tong Shen: "Do what?"

Lin Sui: "You know, getting close to other girls. In a moment, the CP fans will catch the scent and come running, while the solo fans will be silently shedding tears."

"Lin Sui?"

Just as Lin Sui was still whispering complaints to Tong Shen, Yan Yushu's uncertain voice rang out in front of her.

Lin Sui immediately sat up straight, pretending she hadn't been bad-mouthing him.

Realizing what he had just said, she asked blankly, "You know me?"

It really was her!

At first glance, she had looked a bit familiar, though she was a little different from how she looked in the Live Streaming Room, mainly due to her low-quality wig and exaggerated makeup.

Thinking about it carefully, didn't Lin Sui like to dress up like this during her usual Live Streaming?

He hadn't expected to run into her offline under these circumstances.

Yan Yushu flashed a fake smile at her.

Know her?

He knew her all too well!

All she knew how to do every day was earn money from his younger sister!

Unconscionable!

He didn't reply to Lin Sui's words; he just glanced at her and went to sit aside with his friends.

Lin Sui looked bewildered.

Tong Shen was gripping her arm so hard she was about to crush it.

"Take it easy!" Lin Sui pulled her arm away, feeling the pain.

She turned her head and saw Tong Shen's jealous expression.

Lin Sui was startled, "I feel like you're about to eat me."

Tong Shen asked through gritted teeth, "You know him?"

Lin Sui shook her head, "I don't."

"You'd better really not know him!" Jealousy had completely distorted Tong Shen's face.

She hadn't even fully entered the entertainment industry, yet she knew such a top-tier celebrity.

She, who had actually stepped into the entertainment industry, hadn't even had the chance to meet him!

How hateful!

Lin Sui's eyes darted, "Could it be that you..."

Tong Shen interrupted her, "Get lost!"

She knew exactly what kind of nonsense she was about to spout just by looking at her expression.

Tong Shen couldn't be bothered to deal with her.

Lin Sui rubbed her nose, leaned back onto the sofa, and said nothing more.

Once everyone had arrived, the director gave a brief introduction to the upcoming itinerary.

A large screen displayed the portraits of the world champions the production team had invited in the previous episodes.

They were: the Swimming Champion, the Sprint Champion, the Skiing Champion, and the Boxing Champion.

This episode was similar to a midterm exam.

The guests would use the knowledge they had learned in the previous episodes to play games.

The first game was swimming.

This was unfair to the good friends invited by the guests, after all, these friends hadn't been following along with the lessons.

Perhaps they were brought here to drag them down, or to deliberately set the stage for some "royal" guest?

Clearly, given Tong Shen's status, she couldn't be this "royal" one.

It felt more like it was Yan Yushu's group.

The man was handsome, the woman was beautiful, and they were both top-tier celebrities; the production team certainly wouldn't let them lose, and it would even allow them to show off in a big way.

Lin Sui had already foreseen the future.

In the swimming pool, wearing little clothing, plus some physical contact—the production team could easily edit in some romantic bubbles.

"Do they have a drama coming out soon?" she asked Tong Shen in a low voice.

Tong Shen glanced at her, "How did you know? They're the leads."

Lin Sui understood!

So it was to sell a CP for promotion?

Lin Sui: "Do you have a drama coming out soon too?"

Tong Shen's tone couldn't hide her smugness, "Just a villainous supporting role, not worth mentioning."

Lin Sui gave her a thumbs up, "Then let's sell one too."

Tong Shen was stunned for a moment, "Sell what?"

"Sell a CP!"

Tong Shen: "..." What should she do, she felt so disgusted?

…

Led by the production team, a group of people arrived at an indoor swimming pool.

In the vast swimming pool, water balloons of five different colors were floating and mixed together.

The director officially announced the game rules, "The five teams each represent a color. There is a ten-minute time limit. Whichever team has the most of their color left at the end wins!"

Lin Sui raised her hand to ask, "Teacher, are we allowed to hit people?"

Tong Shen hurriedly pulled down the hand she had raised.

The director hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."

"Does anyone else have any questions? If not, you can go change your clothes."

Lin Sui: "Teacher, you are a bit unprofessional! You didn't even ask if us good friends know how to swim!"

Tong Shen: "..." She couldn't stop her, she really couldn't stop her.

Lin Sui's words made the good friends in two of the groups tear up; what were they supposed to do if they couldn't swim!

But thinking that their friends were celebrities and they couldn't make them lose face, they didn't dare to ask more.

The director seemed to have just realized this problem.

He had only been thinking about having Jiang Ning and Yan Yushu sell their CP to promote the drama, and hadn't considered the life or death of the others.

The director hurriedly asked, "You don't know how?"

Lin Sui put her hand down, "I do."

"Then what are you talking about!" The director felt like he was being played by her.

Two groups of good friends nearby also learned from Lin Sui and raised their hands, saying in unison, "I don't know how."

The director: "..."

"Then do you dare to go into the water if you bring a swim ring?"

The two good friends who had never been in the water looked at each other. In order not to lose face for their celebrity friends, they bit the bullet and nodded, "We can try."

"That's fine then, go change your clothes." The director couldn't care about so much anymore.

The investors for that drama with Jiang Ning and Yan Yushu had paid way too much; he absolutely had to make them sell it!

…

The girls came to the changing room; the swimsuits were all school swimsuit designs, divided into several colors.

Lin Sui and Tong Shen chose blue.

Those whose teammates were of a different gender had to take them out to ask their teammates in the men's changing room next door.

Lin Sui washed her face, removed her makeup, and took off her wig, afraid that if her wig floated on the water while swimming later, it would laugh her opponents to death.

Her hair was very long, and she coiled it all up.

It was a bit uncomfortable when putting on the swimsuit.

The production team had prepared one-size-fits-all, and with Lin Sui's height, wearing it was somewhat intimate with the swimsuit; it was incredibly tight.

"I think this production team isn't even pretending anymore." She came out of the washroom and complained.

"What do you want to say now?"

Tong Shen also came out of the washroom opposite.

When she saw Lin Sui's appearance, her expression was first shocked, and finally, her features twisted.

Relying on the fact that no one was filming in the changing room, she loudly questioned, "Did you get plastic surgery behind my back!"

Purely bare-faced and this good-looking!

Wrapped in the super tight swimsuit, her figure was also highlighted.

Her two long legs were even more eye-catching.

Lin Sui knew what she wanted to say and flicked her bangs, "Natural beauty, didn't I look like this before?"

Tong Shen: "..."

It seemed... she did look like this before?

Lin Sui was very pretty before.

This was something Tong Shen could not deny.

And it was precisely because of this that she would be jealous of Lin Sui.

When signing with the Company, fearing that being with Lin Sui would make her look inferior, she simply joined the Company a few months earlier in secret.

Later, when she found out about her accident, she felt both pity and a secret sense of pleasure in her heart.

Tong Shen regretted it a little, "If I had known, I wouldn't have called you here!" She stole all the spotlight.

Lin Sui said with a sharp tongue, "Are you having a fight between your left and right brain? On one hand, you want me to stun the audience and be scouted by other companies, and on the other hand, seeing me so beautiful, you regret it."

Tong Shen: "..."

Just then, a chubby amateur nearby opened a crack in the door from another changing room and asked embarrassedly, "I can't quite get it on, what should I do..."

Jiang Ning from next door also came out of the changing room; her first glance was also attracted by Lin Sui, and she scanned Lin Sui up and down.

She took the initiative to come over and greet, "Hello, my name is Jiang Ning."

Lin Sui glanced at her, "Hello, Lin Sui."

"You look really beautiful," Jiang Ning praised.

"Thanks." Lin Sui was cold and indifferent, turning to the ignored chubby girl and saying, "Don't worry, I'm going out for a moment."

Her own clothes were also tight as hell; she was thin and could fit into the clothes, but her height was there.

To put it bluntly, it was wedged.

They hadn't considered the life or death of people of different heights and weights at all.

Lin Sui went out to argue with the production team.

Tong Shen also wanted to follow.

Jiang Ning reached out and pulled her back, "Tong Shen, I heard she is from the same art school as you? Then why hasn't she entered the entertainment industry yet? She is so pretty, that shouldn't be... after all, you've already gotten in."

Tong Shen did not dare to offend someone like Jiang Ning, whose status was higher than her own.

But her words were truly somewhat ambiguous.

Tong Shen shook off Jiang Ning's hand, furious, "Then you are quite good at sowing discord! You might as well just say to me, 'Between the two of you, one is very pretty'!"

What did she mean by saying she had already gotten in, while Lin Sui hadn't?

She was already full of anger toward Lin Sui, and now her anger was even greater.

Jiang Ning was surprised: "You..."

Tong Shen wanted to leave, but felt she couldn't let it go.

Everyone here was no saint, so why was it that only Jiang Ning could say such things?

Tong Shen thought for a moment, and patiently said to Jiang Ning: "You should hurry out and take a look; in a moment, the spotlight will be stolen, and your partner's soul will be stolen too. Your partner seems to know her."

Jiang Ning: "..."

Oh no!

She shoved past Tong Shen in front of her and walked quickly toward the outside.

Tong Shen stumbled a step before steadying herself.

She saw that chubby girl from before huddled in the corner, not daring to even breathe loudly.

She said irritably: "Just wait, that kind-hearted Lin Sui will get your size for you."

After saying this, she turned and left.

The chubby girl: "..."

Once outside, sure enough, that group of men who had changed into swimming trunks were all staring at Lin Sui, and Yan Yushu was no exception.

Before, in the Live Streaming Room, when her big spenders asked her to wear clothes with more skin showing, she would always use abstract nonsense to brush them off.

Is this the first time she's been this revealing?

But if the Live Streaming Room were this revealing, it might have been banned long ago.

Lin Sui was saying something to the director.

It was hard to tell if this group of people were staring at Lin Sui's figure and appearance, or watching her argue with the director.

It took a good while before she got the one-size-up and large-sized swimsuits.

Lin Sui took them and returned to the changing room.

Jiang Ning also arrived at Yan Yushu's side.

Yan Yushu's skin was very fair, with standard six-pack abs that were well-maintained; Jiang Ning's cameraman had been filming his upper body for a long time, forcing him to cross his arms over his chest to cover his private parts.

Jiang Ning looked at him and smiled, asking as if casually: "Do you know Lin Sui?"

Yan Yushu raised an eyebrow, "What about it?"

Neither of them noticed Tong Shen nearby, acting like a sneak, tilting her head to eavesdrop with extreme nonchalance.

Jiang Ning lowered her eyes, as if wanting to say something, and finally let out a sigh, "Nothing."

Tong Shen: "..."

They were all green tea bitches, who didn't know who!

This situation was just signaling to others that she knew some not-so-good things about Lin Sui, but didn't want to speak ill of others behind their backs, so she put on a very conflicted expression!

She was just waiting for the other person to get to the bottom of it, and only then would she act forced into a corner and reveal a little secret about Lin Sui.

But Lin Sui's little secrets?

How could Jiang Ning, who hadn't even known Lin Sui for five minutes, possibly know any secrets!

It was nothing more than rumor-mongering!

People nowadays were too insidious.

She waited for Jiang Ning to finish spreading rumors before rushing over, so she would have evidence.

Unfortunately, Yan Yushu didn't take her bait.

Hearing Jiang Ning say "nothing," he just said "Oh," and there was no follow-up.

Jiang Ning: "..."

Tong Shen: "..."

This direction was wrong!

Since he didn't take the bait, Jiang Ning said on her own, "I wanted to make friends with her in the changing room just now; I feel like she is so cold and aloof, she doesn't really like to pay attention to people."

Yan Yushu: "???"

Cold and aloof?

Is this word appearing in relation to Lin Sui?

The woman who, if you gifted her a 'Flower Gift', would praise you for a whole day without repeating herself?

The woman who, in the Live Streaming Room, says 'brother' and 'sister' every other word, and whose tail goes up to the sky when she earns money?

Cold and aloof?

Oh, she is tall, so-called 'it's lonely at the top'.

Cold and aloof.

Yan Yushu understood, "You're telling a cold joke, right? Stop telling them, or you'll freeze once you get in the water."

Jiang Ning: "???"

Tong Shen: "Pfft..."

As soon as she spoke, Jiang Ning and Yan Yushu looked toward her in unison.

Tong Shen immediately straightened her face and blurted out, "Sorry, I ate too much this morning."

The two of them: "..."

Tong Shen: "..."

Had she been with Lin Sui for too long?

How could such embarrassing words just tumble out of her mouth!

"Huh? You farted? Don't go in the pool in a bit."

Unbeknownst to them, Lin Sui, having changed back into her clothes, had led the chubby younger sister out and had already walked up behind Tong Shen.

Tong Shen rolled her eyes, "You're the one who farted!"

Lin Sui looked innocent, "Wasn't that what you just said yourself?"

"Shut up!"

Everyone was present, so the director gave two swimming rings to those who couldn't swim, and gave swimming goggles and caps to those who could.

Once dressed and equipped, at the command, everyone jumped into the swimming pool.

The water balls were in the middle of the pool, requiring them to swim a distance to reach them.

Lin Sui and Tong Shen were to guard the Blue Water Ball.

Jiang Ning and Yan Yushu's team had the red one.

She made a gesture to Tong Shen underwater, indicating they should target the two of them first.

They had to take out the two royals first so they could get some screen time!

Tong Shen didn't understand.

Lin Sui was so annoyed that she was the first to swim to the middle, grabbing a Red Water Ball and smashing it onto Tong Shen's head just as she surfaced to catch her breath.

Splat!

The water ball exploded on Tong Shen's head.

Tong Shen was furious, "Why are you hitting me!"

Lin Sui didn't stop, picking up Red Water Balls and throwing them at her, "I've been annoyed with you for a long time! You're always threatening to break off our friendship, so today I'll grant your wish; our friendship is exploding along with this water ball!"

Tong Shen: "!"

Wasn't the plan to sell their CP?

What kind of CP is this!

Splat!

A water ball hit her square on the nose.

After the balloon exploded, the balloon skin happened to wrap around her perky nose tip.

It formed a little red clown nose.

Tong Shen: "!!!"
