Chapter 127 The Makeup Artist's Strange Behavior

After a long flight of more than ten hours, Jiang Songchu finally landed slowly in the morning light of Ningzhou City.

The moment the cabin door opened, fresh air mixed with a faint floral fragrance rushed in, instantly invigorating Jiang Songchu.

She packed her luggage neatly, walked briskly out of the airport, and looked radiant, as if the more than ten-hour flight was just a short dream.

Indeed, for Jiang Songchu, the study room was paradise, saving her from the fatigue of travel and the discomfort of motion sickness.

In contrast, Chen Yun and Aman looked rather disheveled.

Their hair was slightly disheveled, and their eyes revealed an undeniable weariness.

Looking at Jiang Songchu's energetic appearance, and then at her own slightly puffy eyes reflected on her phone, Chen Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly and wonder, "Am I really getting old? Can my stamina not keep up anymore?"

She turned to look at Aman, who also looked tired and kept rubbing his temples, trying to dispel the lingering drowsiness.

Chen Yun couldn't help but laugh and said, "Aman, you don't look like you've had a good rest either."

Aman rubbed her eyes, looked at Jiang Songchu's energetic figure, and couldn't help but exchange a smile with Chen Yun, shrugging helplessly: "I think so too. It seems we really are 'old' and can't keep up with the stamina of young people like Songchu."

Jiang Songchu was speechless after listening to their conversation. She thought to herself, "What are you two talking about? You're clearly just not well-rested."

Chen Yun chimed in, "Yes, Songchu, your energy is truly enviable."

Jiang Songchu smiled and shook her head, "Alright, once we're settled in tonight, let's get some rest and recharge."

Upon exiting the airport, the same kind and friendly driver greeted the three of them warmly and drove skillfully towards Landong TV Station.

Soft music played inside the car, creating a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle outside and providing the three of them with a quiet little world.

Along the way, Chen Yun and Aman's emotions gradually rose.

Chen Yun's phone screen suddenly lit up, and a message appeared on her screen: "The first episode of 'The Dance of Splendor' is a ratings hit, with rave reviews from the audience!"

Chen Yun's eyes lit up instantly. She carefully read every comment, her face beaming with joy: "Songchu, look! Everyone says your performance is outstanding, and your ranking is far ahead!"

As she spoke, she handed her phone to Jiang Songchu.

Jiang Songchu took the phone and carefully browsed the comments and rankings, a smile unconsciously creeping onto her lips.

Although her votes are currently lower than those of Tang Xuanjiao, Tian Qiushui, and Ji Zimu, considering the difference in their fan bases, achieving such results is already quite remarkable.

At this moment, Jiang Songchu's phone rang again, and the screen flashed with the caller ID of his family.

She answered the phone with a smile, patiently listening to her mother's concern and advice, nodding occasionally in response: "Yes, I'm fine, the program is doing well, Mom, don't worry. How are Grandpa and Grandma? I'll come home as soon as I'm done with my work."

After hanging up the phone, she received messages from her roommates, classmates, and comrades-in-arms.

Each message was filled with warmth and encouragement, filling her heart with a warm feeling.

She replied to each message earnestly and sincerely: "Thank you for your support, I will continue to work hard!"

Outside the car window, the street scenes of Ningzhou City flashed by.

Before long, the vehicle came to a smooth stop in front of the Landong TV station.

Practice makes perfect, and Jiang Songchu, Chen Yun, and Aman headed straight to the backstage area of ​​the show with ease. Jiang Songchu once again stepped into the familiar dressing room to prepare for makeup.

However, when she stepped into the dressing room, she found that things seemed a little different today. The makeup artist was no longer the young girl she used to be, but an older woman.

Jiang Songchu frowned slightly and asked softly, "Where's the young lady from before? Why are you here today?"

The aunt's hand trembled slightly, but she quickly calmed down. She deliberately avoided Jiang Songchu's gaze, but her voice was deliberately cheerful: "Oh, you mean Xiaoling? She's sick and took the day off today. So I'll do Miss Jiang's makeup."

As she spoke, the aunt forced a smile, but behind that smile lay an unspeakable tension and unease.

Her eyes kept glancing at the makeup tools beside her, as if she was hiding something.

Although Jiang Songchu had some doubts, she didn't think too much about it and went to change into the dance costume prepared for her first stage performance.

In the changing room, she carefully recalled the notification that Chen Yun had received from the program team.

The notice clearly stated that today's recording would mainly be a procedural one.

On one hand, today's program will await the official vote, which closes at 3 PM today, to announce the first round of eliminations; on the other hand, it will arrange a group dance collaboration segment for the remaining contestants.

After changing her clothes and returning to the dressing room, Jiang Songchu sat in front of the makeup mirror. A new makeup artist was carefully applying makeup to her, but she found that the makeup process was not going smoothly.

The newly hired makeup artist seemed a bit flustered, either because her hands were shaking badly or because she hadn't brought all her tools.

The makeup artist's heart was churning like a stormy sea. She tried her best to hide her panic while secretly praying that Jiang Songchu wouldn't notice anything.

She would occasionally glance at Jiang Songchu out of the corner of her eye, and whenever she saw Jiang Songchu's calm and determined gaze, she felt even more uneasy.

Time passed by, and while the other contestants had mostly finished their makeup, Jiang Songchu's base makeup was still not done.

Chen Yun watched anxiously from the side and couldn't help but urge, "Could you please hurry up? We're very pressed for time; the recording is about to start."

Although the makeup artist nodded repeatedly, she didn't take it to heart. Her hands didn't speed up, and she continued to slowly apply makeup in her own way, her mind already wandering elsewhere.

Chen Yun's patience was wearing thin, and her voice rose a few decibels: "Are you doing this on purpose? Jiang Songchu's makeup isn't finished yet, and this will affect her performance!"

The makeup artist seemed startled, occasionally accidentally bumping into the cosmetics next to her. The already imperfect makeup became even more dramatic. She quickly replied, "I know, I know, it'll be done soon."

Jiang Songchu recalled the makeup artist's unusual behavior earlier and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

"Auntie, you seem a little nervous today?"

Jiang Songchu tentatively asked, trying to find clues from the other party's answer. She decided to remain vigilant, while silently calling on the system in her mind, ready to deal with any possible situation at any time.

The makeup artist's fingers trembled slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. "Oh, really? Maybe you didn't sleep well last night."
