China’s basketball had been suppressed for too long. The appearance of Ye Lingchen was tantamount to a new milestone in Chinese history. Many people even regarded him as the pride of the country, and the savior of the basketball world. Besides, Ye Lingchen was naturally handsome and became even more handsome when he played basketball. It was only natural for fans to go wild.
“God Ye, please sign my clothes.”
A tall and sturdy teenager stared at Ye Lingchen with beaming eyes. He was wearing a jersey, and one look was enough to tell that the lad was a basketball fan and liked playing basketball.
Ye Lingchen said nothing further. He wanted to gain popularity, so he had a wonderful attitude toward his fans. It was all those lovely people that allowed him to grow in the system.
Swipe, swipe, swipe!
With a snake-like nimbleness, he signed his name very smartly.
The three characters of Ye Lingchen’s name were coherent together. They had strong strokes but were unrestrained and free. It appeared to be rife with emotion, making that young man feel proud.
There was probably no one In the entire entertainment industry who signed an autograph with as much character as our prodigy. The young man’s jersey had skyrocketed in value because of those characters, making everyone envious!
Ye Lingchen fantasized about that.
Later, many fans were beginning to get all sorts of ideas and made various strange requests.
“God Ye, sign my palm. I’m your stubborn fan!”
“Brother Ye, sign my neck! Ah, I’m so happy!”
“Brother Ye, come and sign my t*ts…”
Some fans were also very attractive. Their bodies were smoking hot, and their requests were also equally as racy. They even came in a group and surrounded Ye Lingchen happily. As it turned out, women were more open than men when they were in a group.
With all those beautiful women surrounding him, Ye Lingchen could not bear it even though he studied Buddhism and Taoism.
Each woman had their own merits, and it was really difficult to choose.
“Brother Ye, sign here.”
Another curvy woman came over and pointed to her small waist. She touched her red lips and winked at Ye Lingchen.
Ye Lingchen felt that his nose was a little hot. It was far too suggestive.
The people inside the stadium were also dumbfounded, but such scenarios happened more than once. Unsurprisingly, there were all kinds of fans who came and faced celebrities.
Ye Lingchen touched his nose. Although he did not refuse, he hurriedly signed the woman’s arm. There were reporters on the scene, so it was evident that he had to pay attention to his influence. However, the woman was incredibly discourteous and molested Ye Lingchen’s abdomen with her other hand.
“Wow, they’re real abs. So hard!”
The female fan’s face immediately became red with excitement, then she pranced away and showed off to her other friends.
…
After a busy half-day, the meet-and-greet was finally over. Even if Ye Lingchen had a good physique, his whole body was already sweaty. That half-day made him more tired than moving bricks, and it felt like he had engaged in a battle. The only thing that made him content was his increasing popularity. At the same time, his fans’ enthusiasm also made him feel good.
In the evening, he chatted with President Pan and the others about basketball, then got up and said goodbye. Someone sent him back, of course.
When he got home, Zhang Yunxi and Miyako were there too. They were busy cooking dinner in the kitchen.
“Lingchen, you’re back? Did the meet-and-greet go well today?” Zhang Yunxi’s eyes lit up and she looked at Ye Lingchen.
“It was smooth. Those fans were…cute,” Ye Lingchen said with a smile.
“You’re really amazing. Now you’re also a star with millions of fans.” Zhang Yunxi served the dishes to the table with smiles and sweetness in her eyes.
“Goddess Yunxi must be kidding. Your fans on TikTok is about to exceed ten million, right?” Ye Lingchen laughed.
Y Cosmetics was a shop that was famous online, and Zhang Yunxi’s appearance was on par with that of a star. She naturally attracted fans when she joined Y Cosmetics, becoming one of the well-known online celebrities on TikTok.
“Lingchen, don’t tease me.” Zhang Yunxi stuck her tongue out and her cheeks turned red.
After their wonderful meal, Ye Lingchen’s phone rang as soon as he went upstairs.
Looking at the caller ID, Ye Lingchen could not help but curl the corners of his lips into a smile. He answered the phone. “Mom.”
“Son, Mom wants to ask you a question. You must answer me honestly!” Xu Zhen’s voice came from the other side. It was a very soft voice, with a hint of tension and solemnity.
“What’s the matter?”
“Someone in our village said that you’ve become a big star, a basketball superstar. Is that true?” Xu Zhen asked.
“I play basketball, yes. But it’s not as exaggerated as the rumors outside.” Ye Lingchen smiled and took the opportunity to speak, “I told you before that your son can already make money. You really don’t need to save any money for me.”
“You’re my good son.” Xu Zhen’s laughter came from the other end and she was proud. “You’re now famous in our town. You don’t know how many people came to me just to try and be friendly. Several families came over and talked about being matchmakers, but I rejected all of them. Are you and Yunxi doing okay?”
His mother changed the topic and was genuinely worried about her daughter-in-law.
“Mom, everything’s fine here. Don’t worry.”
“I’m telling you… Yunxi is a good girl. Even if you’re a star now, you’re not allowed to bully her. Mom heard people say that there are deep waters in the entertainment circle. You mustn’t be taken down the wrong path!” Xu Zhen warned uneasily.
“Mom, no matter how deep the water in the entertainment industry is, it can’t drown me.” Ye Lingchen smiled.
His father’s voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone. It was obvious that the phone had been put on speaker, and at that time, he finally could not resist educating his son. “Your mother is asking you to pay more attention. What do you mean it can’t drown you? Your attitude now is like you’ve lost yourself in all that ecstasy! Remember, don’t be cocky.”
“Dad, I understand.” Ye Lingchen certainly understood it.
“It’s useless to just understand. Remember it in your heart! If you don’t listen to your parents, you’ll suffer the consequences sooner or later!” Ye Jin was also very unoptimistic about the entertainment industry. He said worriedly, “I’ll break your legs if I ever hear bad rumors about you!”
“Dad, I’m playing basketball. It’s not technically considered the entertainment circle.” Ye Lingchen could not help but smile.
“Son, don’t pay attention to your dad,” Xu Zhen said. “Many young kids in our village are looking forward to you coming back and asking for an autograph.”
“Mom, I have some extra stadium postcards with my signature on them. Would you like me to send them back?”
“That’ll be wonderful!” Xu Zhen was extremely satisfied. “Hurry up and send me more. I must send it to our neighbors and my colleagues too. Send more to them and let them look at my son.”
“Arrogant!” his father’s voice bellowed. “Fortunately, I educated my son well. I don’t know what he’ll turn into if he learns from you!”
“Come on, you’re getting ahead of yourself. What did you teach him? Didn’t I educate him ever since he was young?” Xu Zhen began to ask for credit. “People say that sons follow their mother, and that saying seems to hold true.”
His father huffed, paused, then said, “Son, remember to send some postcards to Dad as well. I’ll distribute them in the hospital.”
