That night, everyone had fully vented their emotions. Under the night sky and the sea breeze, many of them were dead drunk. Ye Lingchen accompanied everyone and drank them all the way, knocking them out one by one. He was completely fine and was still in high spirits. He had to admit that the Poison Immunity skill was amazing. Logically speaking, alcohol was also considered a type of poison.
Even Xiao Feifei's cheeks were flushed at that moment. Her eyes were slightly closed and her body exuded the languid aura of a sleeping beauty as she lay on Ye Lingchen's body.
Ye Lingchen had no choice but to carry her back to the room. He washed her face, took off her shoes and coat, then turned to leave.
As soon as he left, Xiao Feifei opened her eyes in the next moment. She snorted softly and hammered the blanket in embarrassment.
Ye Lingchen let out a long sigh of relief. From what he remembered, Xiao Feifei's alcohol tolerance was not that bad. It was only a glass of fruit wine that day and she was already drunk? Also, when he was helping her take off her clothes, her breathing was obviously heavier. Was she testing him?
As he was thinking, his phone rang. He was slightly taken aback when he saw the caller ID.
"Ling … Lingchen?"
"Mm," Ye Lingchen replied softly, then paused before continuing, "You …"
"Call me Xiaoyan." Chen Xiaoyan's tone had a hint of coquettishness.
Ever since she found out that Singer Y was Ye Lingchen, Chen Xiaoyan's popularity skyrocketed. During that period, she insisted on sending WeChat messages to Ye Lingchen every day. Like a little girl, she reported her day's situation to Ye Lingchen and shared her feelings. She also sent some pictures, selfies, and cute pictures.
The pictures of a goddess were extremely tempting. Coupled with Chen Xiaoyan's deliberate show-off, it was enough to kill everything. If those pictures were seen by her fans, they would probably be so excited that they would not be able to sleep for the whole night.
Ye Lingchen said calmly, "Xiaoyan."
"Hehehe, that … are you involved in Xiao Feifei's company? Can you let me join her company? "Chen Xiaoyan asked.
Up until now, she had not joined any entertainment company and had always been solo. Many companies offered her a high price tag, but she rejected them all. Therefore, her resources were not good. Other than relying on the songs Ye Lingchen wrote for her, she did not have much exposure. However, she did not care about that at all.
"Sure, I'll let her know tomorrow," Ye Lingchen agreed casually, then asked casually, "Did you call me just to talk about this?"
"There's one more. It's about the King of Masked Singers. Are you interested in participating?" Chen Xiaoyan invited, "I was the one who suggested the setting for this show. It was originally an idea based on your reluctance to show your face. I didn't expect the production team to take a liking to it and even invite me to be the show's mentor."
There was a hint of pride in her tone, as if she was asking for credit.
"So powerful." Ye Lingchen was slightly surprised. No wonder he felt that the show's setting suited him so well. It turned out to be Chen Xiaoyan's masterpiece.
He did not expect to receive an invitation the very night King of Masked Singers was released to the public.
"What do you think? Are you interested in joining? " Chen Xiaoyan said expectantly, "You don't have to show up for this show, and … you belong on this kind of stage."
Ye Lingchen was slightly taken aback. It was true that he had never been on stage before. He was basically working behind the scenes.
"Alright, I'll join," Ye Lingchen said with a smile. He had been quite free lately, so he would not miss the opportunity to increase his popularity.
"That's great. I'll send you the costume and mask for the show tomorrow. By the way, hurry up and think of a code name for yourself," Chen Xiaoyan said.
"Code name?"
"Yeah, I can't use my real name, can I? How about Y?"
"That won't do. I'll probably be cornered before I even get on stage," Ye Lingchen said with a bitter smile. The code name Y was too sensitive and unsuitable.
After pondering for a moment, he said calmly, "Let's call you 'Superman'."
Superman, an extraordinary person. He deserved the name and was not being narcissistic.
"Mm, alright."
…
The next day.
The hangover from last night seemed to be a dream, as it did not affect the crowd much. The warriors of the Warrior's Department were already standing by the beach, ready to go.
Compared to two months ago, their laziness had completely disappeared. They stood upright like pine trees, and even the sea breeze couldn't move them at all.
Soon, a ship appeared on the coastline to pick them up and leave.
Until the end, none of them spoke. Ye Lingchen did not speak either. He only stared at their backs and thought to himself, 'I'll go to Hell's Gate to take a look too. We'll meet again very soon.'
That afternoon, Ye Lingchen left Miracle Island with Xiao Feifei and the others.
Ye Lingchen was going to participate in King of Masked Singers. As for Xiao Feifei and the others, they were going to arrange the follow-up work for Drawing Sword. After Drawing Sword's filming ended, they naturally could not stay on the island.
Along the way, Xiao Feifei looked at Ye Lingchen with an extremely resentful gaze. She snorted softly when she learned that Ye Lingchen was going to participate in King of Masked Singers. When Ye Lingchen mentioned letting Chen Xiaoyan join the company, Xiao Feifei did not even want to say a word.
On the third day back in Capital City.
The mask and clothes sent by Chen Xiaoyan had also arrived.
In Hill Spring Residences, Zhang Yunxi signed for the package before leaving.
"Lingchen, your package has arrived."
Ye Lingchen replied, "Got it."
Zhang Yunxi asked curiously, "What is it?"
Ye Lingchen winked at her. "It's a secret."
"So secretive." Zhang Yunxi did not pursue the matter further and hurried to Y Cosmetics for work.
Ye Lingchen closed the bedroom door, opened the package, and took out the items one by one. There were quite a lot of them, including all the equipment from head to toe.
Mask.
Shirt.
Pants.
Shoes.
And gloves.
Ye Lingchen picked up the mask and compared it to his face. He could not help but smile in satisfaction when he looked in the mirror.
Although Ye Lingchen did not specify the specific requirements for the mask, Chen Xiaoyan had obviously put in the effort. The mask was very different from the one seen by the average person. At first glance, it did not look scary, but rather otherworldly.
The mask was not fancy at all. There were a total of three colors — white, purple, and black. White was the most common, with black and purple as embellishments. The design looked ordinary, but it matched Ye Lingchen quite well. After wearing it, he looked like a martial arts veteran wearing a mask in a TV series. It had a unique temperament, free and easy with a hint of unruliness, as though he was hiding in the city.
Superman. That mask was quite suitable for a superhero. He did not expect Chen Xiaoyan to have a talent for design. She was truly a treasure.
After that, Ye Lingchen put on his clothes and swayed in front of the mirror.
The design of King of Masked Singers was very reasonable. He was wrapped tightly from head to toe. Other than walking on the road that would give people a strange feeling, all the characteristics and symbols on his body were covered!
