Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 265 - 226 Paying Respect to the Master!_3

The examinees received their studio access passes bearing their names and photos, and they could gradually leave the club to prepare for tomorrow’s live broadcast.

"I used to see Xia Ye and his team with these access passes during competitions. They looked so official, what should I do—I’m already getting nervous!"

"Look at you acting all defeated, what’s there to be nervous about? You should be excited."

"Right, right, we’ll be on TV tomorrow too, huh?"

"Yes, and if we perform well, who knows, we might just become overnight sensations through one broadcast like Xia Ye did."

In the adjacent resting room, Xia Ye, hearing the noise in the corridor, deliberately lay on the couch a bit longer, waiting for fewer people to be around before going out.

By the window, Xia Xing had been on the phone ever since he entered the room, sneaking around, speaking in a hushed tone.

Initially, Xia Ye hadn’t paid attention, but later she noticed that Xia Xing occasionally glanced her way as if afraid she might discover something.

Xia Ye narrowed her eyes and started listening carefully.

But all she heard him talk about were things like "gift" and "international courier."

On further thought, these past few days at home, aside from Xia Xing, mom and dad seemed to be doing the same, sneaking around behind her, plotting something unknown.

Was there any other event worth celebrating recently besides the Youth Training Camp and the press conference?

When Xia Xing finally finished his call and the corridor outside quieted down, Xia Xing, looking in a good mood, grabbed his belongings, picked up his little sister’s thermos, and walked her home.

They thought there were no contestants outside, but just a few steps out, Xia Ye was stopped by someone calling from behind.

"’God of Night’! Could I take two minutes of your time?!"

Xia Ye was about to turn around when she suddenly recognized the voice.

Tian Hanwen, that aloof grandchild?

Because the voice varied more than usual and the pitch fluctuated quite a bit, she almost didn’t recognize it.

Seeing ’him’ stop, Tian Ye squeezed his palm, handing over the notebook he had prepared: "’God of Night’, I really admire you, could you sign this for me?"

This notebook was his first prize from a math competition, something even Xia Ye, who scored top marks, didn’t have—a definite symbol of honor.

If he could get his idol to sign it, that would be incredibly meaningful.

Xia Xing stood by with his hands in his pockets, watching as Little Tiangao now even had young fans, and smiled dotingly.

Xia Ye didn’t speak, just glanced at him, and Xia Xing understood, taking the notebook from Tian Ye’s hands.

Xia Ye took it, flipped through it, pulled out the pen beside it, and with a broadstroke, scribbled down "God of Night."

Xia Xing raised an eyebrow.

Little Tiangao’s autograph even had more of a star quality than his own.

Tian Ye, watching his idol sign for him, was overjoyed.

When the idol slightly turned his face, ’he’ had a shiny cat earring twinkling on his ear.

Tian Ye found it somewhat familiar but couldn’t place where he had seen it before.

But that slight doubt was almost instantly overwhelmed by joy.

The idol’s earring was so stylish!

"I have another request!" Tian Ye admitted he was being a bit greedy, but he was genuinely worried if he didn’t make it through the Youth Training Camp tomorrow, he might never meet his idol again: "I really admire your skills, could I perhaps become your apprentice?"

Xia Ye:...

It was unexpected that Tian Hanwen’s good grandchild would also be a "star" chaser, appearing so serious at school yet quite lively now.

Considering his reaction, he probably still didn’t know the idol was her.

It made Xia Ye feel awkward about making a sound.

The phrases she had said in the interview video, after being transmitted through the recording equipment, were somewhat distorted, and she had deliberately lowered her voice, so it was hard to tell it was her.

But now, being so close, a familiar face speaking face to face, even if she lowered her voice, it was recognizable.

Xia Ye thought about it, pulled down her mask halfway, and signalled a few words to Xia Xing using her mouth.

Xia Xing turned around and conveyed to Tian Ye: "She’s asking if you are serious? No regrets?"

Tian Ye was so excited that his voice trembled, as he had hardly held back from asking earlier, but he hadn’t expected the idol to actually agree.

"Absolutely no regrets! As long as you don’t mind, wherever I see you from now, I’ll call you master!"

ps: What if it happens on the campus of Beijing University?
