Chapter 596: Fan Blockade

The Spring Festival Gala crew were all staring at Ye Lingchen.

This year’s Spring Festival Gala was no doubt one with the most incidents, seemingly plagued with accidents. If anything were to happen, they would have to face dire consequences. Ye Lingchen saved the Spring Festival Gala, and also saved them at the same time.

Feng Xiaofeng was even moved to tears. “God Ye, Little Yueyue, you guys are the best. You’re amazing.”

This time, punishment was inevitable for him. It was just a matter of severity. Ye Lingchen’s appearance had undoubtedly lowered his punishment hugely, making up for his mistakes with merits.

Everyone was in a jovial mood and showered him with praises.

“The crosstalk was spectacular!”

“Thank you!”

“God Ye, thank you so much!”

“Little Yueyue, you’ll be famous from now on!”

“It’s Sensei Ye who taught me well.”

“You’re both amazing!”

Applause!

The applause was unending!

The eyes of the crew members were filled with gratitude!

Ye Lingchen and Little Yueyue exchanged looks, then said, “Everyone, you’re overpraising us. We didn’t do it by ourselves, but with everyone’s efforts!”

A female sound engineer applauded while laughing. “Without you around, it wouldn’t matter how much effort our team put in! It’s not about manpower!”

The chairman approached and held Ye Lingchen’s hand. “God Ye, thank you so much!”

Ye Lingchen laughed. “It’s all for the stage and our country.”

“Brother Ye, you’ve once again done us a great service.” Lin Ao approached and bumped a fist at Ye Lingchen. “You’re such a monster!”

Meanwhile, Chen Xiaoyan and Zhao Liangying were clapping like crazy on the side. Their eyes were beaming with joy as they stared at Ye Lingchen.

The group continued to shower him with seemingly unending gratitude.

The reason they were there was to thank Ye Lingchen because…he had done them a great favor!

Thank him with applause?

It would never be enough. They did not even know what could possibly represent the gratitude they had for him.

Volunteering himself at a critical time, completing a crosstalk script of around a dozen minutes, then going on stage without any preparation—not only did it require talent, it also required a strong spirit!

Everyone knew that under such a rushed situation, problems could happen. If anything happened, Ye Lingchen and Little Yueyue would be negatively affected as well!

It was akin to clearing a minefield!

Nevertheless, they cleared the mission perfectly and spectacularly! Could something like that be settled with a simple thank you?

Suddenly, Little Yueyue’s phone rang, bringing a timid expression to his face. “Master. Yes, our performance ended. Master, you’re overpraising me. I was just lucky. You’re looking for God Ye? Mm, he’s right beside me… Okay… I’ll pass the phone to him now.”

Ye Lingchen looked at Little Yueyue. “Your master?”

“Yup. He’s looking for you.” Little Yueyue passed him the phone.

“Hello Master Dongshan,” Ye Lingchen quickly greeted. He had great respect for Guo Dongshan. His parents and grandparents were all his fans, and Ye Lingchen himself had watched a number of his performances as a kid.

If his family knew that he had a phone call with Master Dongshan, they would have gone nuts with excitement.

Guo Dongshan’s clear laughter could be heard on the other end of the phone. “I’ve seen the crosstalk earlier. God Ye, thank you very much. Your performance is really impeccable. You’re definitely qualified to be a crosstalk master.”

That was considered a very high commendation.

“Master Dongshan, you’re too kind. It’s good enough that you’re satisfied with the performance,” Ye Lingchen replied humbly.

Guo Dongshan laughed. “Your crosstalk is very interesting, even better than mine. The younger generation will succeed us. What a talented young man. Now, I can finally enjoy my vacation with my family.”

“Then I wish Master Dongshan a happy holiday.”

“Sure. If the chance arises, let’s collaborate on a show in the future!” Guo Dongshan suggested.

“That would be wonderful. I’m honored,” Ye Lingchen replied with a smile.

It appeared that this crosstalk was surprisingly positive as it gained the approval of Guo Dongshan.

As for the internet, it would definitely go wild. However, Ye Lingchen had no time to deal with that. As of that moment, he only wanted to rush home as soon as possible.

‘Since my mission is completed, this prodigy shall now go home. My parents await.’

Ye Lingchen waved at the crowd.

“Xiaoyan, I’ll be off now. Baby Ying, goodbye.”

“Remember to pass my greeting to uncle and auntie,” Chen Xiaoyan and Zhao Liangying said at the same time.

“Alright, I will,” Ye Lingchen replied.

“Sensei Ye, thank you so much for today. I’ve learned a great deal. Please leave me your contact details.” Little Yueyue ran after him.

“Sure, we’ll keep in contact.” Ye Lingchen smiled.

…

After exiting the backstage, he went through the special passage once more.

Arriving at the door, Ye Lingchen saw a lot of celebrities and crew members exiting at the same time. However, they were very slow.

That was because the exit was not that big, yet the door was blocked off by a lot of fans trying to block the celebrities in. These people would rather join the commotion rather than spend Chinese New Year with their family.

Ye Lingchen was speechless. He did not understand the mindset of these people as he had never dreamt of chasing after celebrities.

Meanwhile, apart from the sea of fans, cars and managers were arriving to pick up the celebrities. With that, it turned even more packed; the entire passageway was jammed up.

The Spring Festival Gala was such a huge event, yet they did not arrange for more guards.

Ye Lingchen was hidden in the line, walking along casually. He could disguise himself perfectly. As long as he wanted to remain hidden, the reporters would never find him.

Outside the exit, the screams kept going, seemingly unending.

“Wow!”

“Candy. It’s my Baby Candy! I love you!”

“Sister Red, it’s Sister Red! Ahhh!”

“It’s Honey! Ahhh! So beautiful. Honey, please marry me!”

The fans were shouting the names of their idols, calling them by their nicknames, names that Ye Lingchen had never heard of.

Everyone went wild and were pushing inwards!

Over 20 security guards formed a line to block the crowd off.

“Stop pushing! Calm down! Everybody calm down!”

“Please cooperate with us!”

“You’re not allowed to go beyond this line!”

The security guards’ voices went hoarse from shouting. They had a helpless look on their face.

It was too chaotic and the roads were blocked. For a while, they were unable to move forward at all.

Ye Lingchen frowned slightly. It seemed like he could only wait there for the moment.

Behind him, celebrities were coming out one after another. They were similarly greeted by fans shouting their name in wild abandon with their hoarse voice—it was like a red carpet walkway.

Meanwhile, the celebrities who just came out from the Spring Festival Gala were very courteous, shaking hands with the fans and responding to them accordingly. A more liberal female celebrity even gave the crowd a wink, immediately sending a few guys blushing as androgen filled their system, causing them to almost pass out from the excitement. Howls filled the air…
