Chapter 461 I Wanted to Keep a Low Profile Too, But My Bro Is Having None of It!

“Ye’zi, let me hug you for a bit so I can touch God Ye’s divinity.” Potato hugged Ye Lingchen while talking.

“F*ck, I want to touch it too.” Xiang and Little Gen immediately followed suit.

They were initially worried that it would be difficult to see Ye Lingchen again after he developed the superstar aura. However, they realized it was unnecessary to worry about all that after meeting him.

“Ye’zi, why do you have the spare time to come over? You know, now that you’re a superstar, our university principal has singled you out for praise, saying that you’re the pride of our school,” Little Gen said.

“If anyone knows you’re here, we’ll probably be stomped to death in this playground!” Potato said, “We must be careful.”

“Let me tell you something. The school has framed your photo and hung it on the wall for accomplished individuals!” Xiang said before continuing, “The thought that you and I are actually classmates and roommates makes me feel like it’s just a dream. ”

Hung on the wall?

That sounded awkward.

After not seeing each other for a while, the three of them obviously accumulated many things they wished to say in their chests. In their excitement, each of them spoke in turn to let Ye Lingchen know the current situation in the school.

They remembered the time they accompanied Ye Lingchen to watch the friendly match against the Stick Nation, where it was completely beyond their expectations that Ye Lingchen would turn the tide on the arena right there and then. Then, as a sports star, he shone prominently in variety shows and instantly became a mighty superstar whom no-one dared to approach.

It was not an exaggeration to say that Ye Lingchen was an A-list star, although he did not have any works to his name yet. He might end up being instantly popular if he shot a movie or a TV series.

“Why were the three of you waiting downstairs just now?” Ye Lingchen asked.

“Oh f*ck!”

The three guys screamed simultaneously and their brains began buzzing. “Ah f*ck, we were waiting for Hao Jian!”

“Waiting for Hao Jian?” Ye Lingchen checked the time and his mouth twitched. The four of them had been chatting in the playground for half an hour.

“Let’s hurry back and check on him!”

They spotted Hao Jian when the four of them walked to the dorm.

Clad in a yellow short-sleeved shirt, his hair was slicked back and his face was clean. He had probably combed his hair carefully, but anyone who saw him would feel like he was giving off a festive vibe. He looked around at the female classmates who were coming and going, then scratched his ears and cheeks. He looked as though he wanted to strike up a conversation with them but was afraid to do so.

“Looks like we’ve been worrying needlessly. This guy seems to be having fun!” Xiang could not help but laugh.

“He’s always raunchy. He even applies a facial mask before going out and acts like he has a blind date every day. Damn, this fella!” Little Gen began to wave to Hao Jian while speaking.

As he was tall and imposing, he attracted Hao Jian’s attention immediately.

“F*ck, what the hell were you guys doing? I’ve been waiting for y’all for so long.” Hao Jian’s expression changed and he complained, “I’m telling you, a meal—”

His words halted all of a sudden. His eyes looked at Ye Lingchen with his mouth wide open, and his eyes were filled with nothing but incredulousness. His entire person stayed rooted on the spot. He only managed to regain his senses after taking a long time to calm himself down. Next came an unprecedented explosion of emotions.

“Wait for me! You have to wait for me here! Don’t leave!”

After his exclamation, he could not help but lift his legs and make a mad dash toward the boys’ dormitory. His speed stunned Little Gen and the others.

“This guy... Has his brain short-circuited?” Potato could not resist saying.

Not long after, Hao Jian’s figure reappeared with a gray backpack in his arms.

He had clearly expended all of his potential in running within such a short period of time. He panted heavily and his face was flushed.

“Ye, Ye...Ye’zi.”

Hao Jian was completely out of breath. “Ye’zi, I’ve searched everywhere and I’ve prayed to Guanyin every day. My wish finally came true. You’re here.

“I... I...”

“Hold it. Let’s talk as we go. You’re stuttering.” Xiang interrupted mercilessly.

“You’re the one who’s stuttering! I’m just a little out of breath,” Hao Jian retorted at once.

“Your body’s too weak, Hao Jian. It’s time to do some strengthening exercises.” Ye Lingchen smiled.

“Ye’zi, I’m so excited, so excited.” Hao Jian took a deep breath before saying. “Please sign!”

After speaking, he opened his backpack immediately. “I bought all your cards and figurines.”

“F*CK! You’re nuts! You bought an entire backpack full of them. What are you going to do with it?”

“You’re too motherf*cking crazy. Do you really idolize Ye’zi to such a diehard extent?”

“My god. Hao Jian, you’re too despicable. You don’t have any unusual fetishes, do you?”

Little Gen’s trio were all stunned. The entire backpack was stuffed to the brim, and at a glance, they were all handsome pictures of Ye Lingchen.

“Go away. You’re the one with the unusual fetishes.”

Hao Jian lips twitched. “What do any of you know! Have you no idea what all of these things will be worth with Ye’zi signature on them?”

After a pause, he continued, “I told other people that Ye’zi is my classmate and a bunch of people don’t believe me. I just wanted to rub it in their faces. Besides, as long as we show Ye’zi’s signature, wouldn’t we have a hundred-percent success rate in hitting up a conversation with anyone? I’ve even brought pens.”

His words immediately stunned the three people, who then proceeded to show looks of ecstasy.

“You’re a genius! There seem to be some benefits in this fella’s despicableness!”

“Awesome! I never even thought of it before.”

“Ye’zi, my cousin brother and cousin sister are both your fans. Give me an autograph! They’ll definitely be jealous!”

The three of them were incredibly excited, so much so that their eyes lit up when they looked at Ye Lingchen.

Ye Lingchen touched his nose. Black lines were aplenty and he glanced at the bag full of cards. There were at least a hundred cards. How dreadful would it be to sign all of them?

“How about each of you choose five and I’ll sign them for you.”

“Long live Ye’zi! I knew you’d honor the code of brotherhood!”

“Hahaha, Ye’zi looks handsome in this picture. I’ll choose this one!”

“Ye’zi, this is a close-up photo of you riding the Black Warrior. Wow, there will definitely be plenty of girls coming to ask for this autographed photo.”

“This is a photo of Ye’zi dunking. So cool!”

The four of them were all in awe as they carefully kept their autographed photos. Their excitement was unparalleled as if they had won five million yuan.

Hao Jian already took out his phone to snap a photo of the autographed picture, then posted it to his WeChat Moments. Attached to it was a message: [I’ve always said that God Ye is my good friend. Some people don’t believe me. Well, today I’m showing the proof...]

Potato did as Hao Jian did and posted it on both WeChat Moments and TikTok. [Who should I give these five autographed photos of God Ye to?]

Little Gen was not to be outdone. He left a reply saying, [I want to keep a low profile too, but my bro is having none of it!]

On one side, Ye Lingchen did not know whether to laugh or cry. Each one of them was showing off.

As they talked and laughed away, the five of them had already left campus.

“Where are you going today? You’re not even going to go to class?” Ye Lingchen could not help but cock his brows when he saw that they had no intention of turning back.

“An anime convention!” Potato said.

“Anime convention?”

“Yeah, there’s an anime convention right in the center of the university town. It’s super lively,” Hao Jian explained. “It’ll be on for three days. We can probably still get tickets if we go over now.”
