Genius Trainee: My Husband Isn't Human - Chapter 26

“Right, you just arrived so you don’t know yet. Let me tell you something funny. There’s been this popular reality show lately where ordinary people challenge idols, right? When she heard that He Mingyu was going to be on this show, she had her family pull some strings to get her a spot to challenge He Mingyu. But guess what happened?”

Luo Jingcha indicated she didn’t want to hear it.

Lin Zhu suppressed her laughter and said, “During last night’s recording, she was suddenly kicked out by someone else. Not only did the money she spent go down the drain, but she didn’t even get to see him. Later when she went to cause trouble with the production team, she found out that the boss who demanded the last-minute replacement was someone even her father couldn’t afford to offend, so she had to let it go. This story has gone viral throughout the company. She still had the nerve to confess to He Mingyu today – what shamelessness.”

“Um, maybe we should leave first. I think it’s getting hot in here.” As Lin Zhu was about to continue, Luo Jingcha raised her hand to cover her mouth.

“Really?” Lin Zhu touched her arm. “The air conditioning is pretty strong. I actually feel a bit cold.”

“Then let it be cold.” Luo Jingcha pulled her along, ready to leave.

“Hey, wait!” Lin Zhu suddenly seemed to remember something and grabbed her. “What did you say your name was? Luo Jingcha? I feel like yesterday I remember…”

“Luo Jingcha!”

Before Lin Zhu could finish speaking, He Mingyu’s voice suddenly came from inside the practice room.

Luo Jingcha couldn’t help but cover her face.

Had she stepped in dog shit? How could she encounter something like this?

He Mingyu ran out and called to her. Luo Jingcha quickly denied it. “That’s not me, you’ve got the wrong person.”

“How is that possible? I’d recognize this face even if it turned to ash!” He Mingyu pulled her hands away.

“It really is you!”

Seeing her face, He Mingyu looked delighted. “So you’re also an artist at the company! Your performance yesterday was truly amazing. I wanted to find you after getting off stage to ask about your practice methods, but unfortunately you left too quickly. By the time I got there, the director said you had already left.”

He seemed oblivious to Li Zi’ai’s increasingly dark expression and continued, “I was wondering when I’d get to see you again. I searched everywhere for you – who would have thought you were right here in the company! I need to tell my agent to stop looking. I had her searching all night yesterday!”

This He Mingyu looked handsome on the surface, but how was he such a chatterbox?

Luo Jingcha’s heart was dying. Could you please say a few words less? Please look at that admirer behind you – with you being so enthusiastic, aren’t you afraid she’ll devour me?

Just then, an announcement suddenly came over the intercom: “Attention, special trainees! Attention, special trainees! Report to practice room A-3 immediately! Report to practice room A-3 immediately!”

Special trainees referred to these selected Class A trainees. This announcement was like a divine reprieve for Luo Jingcha, who quickly said, “We have class now. Let’s chat next time, next time!”

She pulled Lin Zhu along as she spoke, and Lin Zhu, being a smart person, had already had some suspicions. After listening to He Mingyu ramble on for so long, she became even more gleeful.

She said, “Not bad! To have He Mingyu praise you so highly – seems like you’ve got real talent!”

“Give me a break.” Luo Jingcha said irritably. “I was just trying to watch some drama, who knew I’d end up in it myself.”

“Hahahaha!” Lin Zhu couldn’t help but burst into laughter. She patted Luo Jingcha’s shoulder and said, “To make Li Zi’ai suffer such a huge loss, I admire you. Did you see Li Zi’ai’s face just now? It was so ugly she looked ready to tear you apart. But don’t worry, stick with me in the company from now on – I’ve got your back!”

“Just don’t drag me down with you.” Luo Jingcha said with annoyance.

After a while, the students gradually entered the classroom, and the special training class teacher came in as well.

Li Zi’ai stared at Luo Jingcha as if she wanted to kill her, but she also knew this was the first class and didn’t dare act out.

It was rumored that the special training class teachers were all demons. If you left a bad impression on the teacher on the first day, your future days would be difficult.

The first class didn’t teach any practice-related content. Instead, they explained the training plan for the next three months, violation penalties, and finally, group assignments.

The special training class had selected ten trainees in total. These trainees were all selected from Class A, so their abilities were naturally good. The instructor divided the ten people into two groups based on assessment results – a four-person group and a six-person group.

Unfortunately, Luo Jingcha and Li Zi’ai were assigned to the same group.

Fortunately, because Lin Zhu’s personality was too strong, she was forcibly assigned to Li Zi’ai’s group – the six-person group.

The six-person group had three other girls remaining: one named Feng Xiaoting, who had a gentle nature; one named Wang Peirong, who was quiet and taciturn; and one named Dai Meiling, who loved beauty and was pretentious.

Luo Jingcha was only somewhat familiar with Lin Zhu. Lin Zhu said, “Just cooperate when we need to practice as a group. Otherwise, practice on your own and don’t get too involved with them.”

Her words were simple and clear. Luo Jingcha nodded. “Got it.”

“Since everyone understands, let’s dismiss for now. Practice on your own these few days. In a couple of days, after a few students finish their final exams, we’ll arrange unified special training. Class dismissed!”

After the instructor finished explaining things, she left the classroom. Seeing this, Li Zi’ai aggressively walked toward Luo Jingcha.

Luo Jingcha knew that trouble was unavoidable and was too lazy to avoid it. Li Zi’ai approached and mocked. “So you’re that Luo Jingcha who got ahead through unspoken rules?”

“Me? Unspoken rules?” Luo Jingcha pointed to herself, then looked toward Lin Zhu. Lin Zhu nodded. “That’s what the rumors say, but I believe you’re not that type.”

Luo Jingcha: “……”

She took a breath and said, “I’m very sorry about taking your challenge opportunity yesterday, but it really wasn’t my intention. If there’s a good opportunity next time, I’ll definitely give it to you.”

“Just you?” Li Zi’ai sneered coldly. “Forget about next time – can you compensate me for this opportunity to perform on the same stage as He Mingyu? I already bragged about it. Do you know how many people are laughing at me now?”

As she spoke, she actually started crying pitifully.

“Um…”

She really hadn’t thought of this. In her other world, she never lacked performance opportunities. Li Zi’ai’s heartache was something she truly couldn’t relate to. But this wasn’t entirely her fault either. If it weren’t for Mo Wangchu’s sudden whims, if that big devil hadn’t forced her to go on stage, would she have gone?

And if she hadn’t gone up, Xiao Luo would basically have no connection to the stage for the rest of her life. Even if she had to do it again, she would make the same choice. For Li Zi’ai, she could only apologize and make it up to her when there was an opportunity in the future.

“Enough, enough! Stop talking!”

Lin Zhu was most annoyed by Li Zi’ai’s habit of playing the victim at every turn. When she spoke, she was as harsh as possible. “Your opportunity was bought with money anyway, which is also equivalent to stealing someone else’s opportunity. Acting all pretentious here – how ugly.”

“What did you say! I’m being pretentious?”

With Lin Zhu’s words, Li Zi’ai became indignant and cried. “What do you know, you tomboy? Do you think men would like someone who’s neither male nor female like you?”

Lin Zhu seemed to have been hit in a sore spot and became angry, “At least I don’t have to pick out wigs every day like you, you bald female monster!”

“You! You ugly freak that nobody wants!”

“You balding old hag!”

“You don’t even have breasts!”

“So what if you have breasts? Do you have a brain?”

Li Zi’ai couldn’t hold back and slapped Lin Zhu, who immediately slapped back.

Seeing the situation turning bad, Luo Jingcha quickly went over to break up the fight, but Li Zi’ai thought she was coming to help Lin Zhu. In her rage, she called the other three girls over to help.

The scene became chaotic.
