I Am A Prodigy Chapter 685
Advertisement
That night, everyone bared their inner thoughts. Under the night sky and the sea breeze, many people ended up drunk. Ye Lingchen kept them company and drank the entire time, causing everyone to end up collapsed in drunkenness. On the other hand, he seemed all fine and dandy and even remained very energetic. He had to admit that Poison Immunity was an amazing skill, because strictly speaking, alcohol was also a form of poison.
Even Xiao Feifei's cheeks were flushed and her eyes were half-closed. Her entire body gave off a vibe reminiscent of a sleeping beauty and she was lying on Ye Lingchen's body.
The helpless Ye Lingchen carried her back to the room, washed her face, then off her shoes and coat before leaving.
As soon as he left, Xiao Feifei opened her eyes abruptly, then snorted and punched the quilt in bashful anger.
Ye Lingchen breathed a long sigh of relief. He remembered that Xiao Feifei's alcohol tolerance was not that bad, yet she was already drunk after drinking a glass of fruit wine that day? Also, her breathing was obviously heavier when he helped her to undress earlier. Could she be testing him?
As he was thinking about that, his cell phone rang and he was slightly taken aback after seeing the caller ID.
"Ling... Lingchen?"
"Mm," Ye Lingchen hummed softly, then paused before uttering, "You..."
"Call me Xiaoyan." Chen Xiaoyan's tone was rather flirtatious.
After knowing that Singer Y was Ye Lingchen, Chen Xiaoyan's motivation increased sharply by the day. During that period, she insisted on sending Ye Lingchen a WeChat message every day. Like a little girl, she reported her current situation to Ye Lingchen and shared her feelings. At the same time, she also sent a couple of sexy shots, selfies, and all kinds of cute pictures.
A goddess' photos were undoubtedly very tempting, and since Chen Xiaoyan was deliberately showing off, her lethality was even more devastating. If her fans ever saw those pictures of her, they might probably be so excited that they would have sleepless nights.

Ye Lingchen said calmly, "Xiaoyan."
"Teehee, umm... Are you involved with Xiao Feifei's company? Can you let me join?" Chen Xiaoyan asked.
She had not joined any entertainment company until then and was always going solo. Many companies offered her high prices, but she rejected them all. As a result, she had scant resources, and she did not have much exposure other than with the songs that Ye Lingchen wrote. In spite of that, she did not really mind at all.
"Yes, I'll tell her tomorrow," Ye Lingchen agreed, then asked, "Is that the only reason you called me?"
"There is one more thing. It's about the King of Masked Singers. Are you interested in participating?" Chen Xiaoyan asked. "I was actually the one who proposed this concept. I initially came up with it because you didn't want to show your face. I never expected the production crew to think so highly of me that they'd even invite me to be one of the coaches."
She said invitingly with a hint of pride in her tone.
"That's amazing." Ye Lingchen was slightly surprised. It was no wonder then, that the setting of the show fitted him so perfectly. It turned out to be Chen Xiaoyan's brainchild.
It hardly occurred to him that he would receive an invitation on the night of King of Masked Singers' premiere.
"How about it? Are you interested in participating?" Chen Xiaoyan asked in anticipation. "You won't ever need to reveal your face in this show, plus... You belong on this kind of stage."
Ye Lingchen was taken aback for a moment. He had never been on stage before and mostly worked behind the scenes.
"Alright then, I'll take part," Ye Lingchen answered with a smile. He had recently been rather idle too, and if there was ever a chance to increase his popularity, he would certainly grab that opportunity with both hands.
"Great, then I'll send you the costumes and masks for the show tomorrow. By the way, you should hurry up and give yourself a stage name," Chen Xiaoyan said.

"A stage name?"
"Yeah. You can't use your real name, right? How about Y?"
"I can't possibly use Y. I'll probably be swarmed by people before I can even enter the stage," Ye Lingchen smiled bitterly. The pseudonym Y was a very sensitive and unsuitable name.
After pondering for a moment, he answered curtly, "Just call me Superman then."
Superman. It was narcissism at its finest because he was an extraordinary person who deserved that name.
"Okay."
...
The next day.
The hangover last night was like a dream and it did not impact everyone that much. The warriors from the Warrior's Department were already standing by the beach and ready to go.
Compared with the previous two months, their laziness was all but gone. Like pines and cypresses standing upright, the sea breeze could hardly move them at all.
Soon, a ship appeared on the coastline to pick them up.
None of them spoke, even until the very end. Ye Lingchen kept quiet too and simply stared at their backs. Deep down, he thought to himself, 'I'll be heading to Hell's Gate too. We'll meet again soon.'
That afternoon, Ye Lingchen and Xiao Feifei also left Miracle Island.
Ye Lingchen was going to participate in King of Masked Singers, while Xiao Feifei and the others were going to follow-up on the last bits of Drawing Sword. They could not possibly continue staying on the island when filming was over.
Along the way, Xiao Feifei shot Ye Lingchen an extremely resentful look and even huffed at him when she learned that he was going to participate in King of Masked Singers. She did not even say a single word when Ye Lingchen brought up Chen Xiaoyan's acceptance into the company.
On the third day of their return in Capital.
The mask and clothes sent by Chen Xiaoyan had also arrived.
Zhang Yunxi signed the express delivery in the landscaped garden before heading out.
"Lingchen, you have a package."
Ye Lingchen answered, "Got it."
Zhang Yunxi asked curiously, "What is it?"
Ye Lingchen winked at her. "It's a secret."
"Mysterious, aren't you." Zhang Yunxi did not ask any further and quickly went to clock in at Y Cosmetics.
Ye Lingchen closed the bedroom door, unpacked the package, then took out the contents one after another. There was plenty of stuff and his entire outfit from head to toe was provided.
A mask.
A coat.
Pants.
Shoes.
Gloves.
Ye Lingchen picked up the mask and held it to his face. He looked in the mirror and could not help but smile in satisfaction.
Although Ye Lingchen did not make any special requests for the mask, Chen Xiaoyan had obviously picked it with care. It was very different from the masks worn by ordinary people, and at first glance, it looked rather down-to-earth instead of being too intimidating.
The mask was not fancy and there were three colors in total: white, purple and black. The main color was white, with black and purple as the embellishments. Its style was pretty normal, but it matched Ye Lingchen well. It looked like the kind of mask worn by their olden martial arts television series. There was a unique character to it, with a touch of rebellion contained with its carefree quality. It had the faint feeling of greatness within one's midst.
He was Superman, and that mask was well-suited for a superhero. He was surprised to find that Chen Xiaoyan had a talent for design and was truly a treasured girl.
Ye Lingchen then put on those clothes and looked at himself in the mirror.
The costume provided by King of Masked Singers was rather sensible. It wrapped the wearer tightly from head to toe, and although it attracted a couple of weird gazes when walking on the street, the identifying characteristics of a person's body were fully concealed!
