Chapter 686 - Spewing Nonsense When Speaking (2/2)

“???”

Upon reaching the room that was prepared for him by the program team, Ye Lingchen found that it was spacious, well-equipped, and well furnished.

Su Mo poured him a cup of tea and handed it over to Ye Lingchen. “Superman Sensei, please have some water.”

She then stared intently at Ye Lingchen.

However, Ye Lingchen sat there like some old deity and had no intention of taking off his mask. He simply said, “I’m not thirsty.”

Not one to give up, Su Mo took a snack and gave it to Ye Lingchen. “Superman Sensei, please have something to eat.”

“I’m not hungry.”

Su Mo bit her lip.

The two of them sat face-to-face in the lounge, staring at each other.

That pesky little girl was still determined to trick him. His identity was rather special, and the identity of Singer Y would likely be recognized. If parts of him were revealed there, it would amount to revealing Singer Y’s characteristics.

Su Mo remained steadfast after a few moments of patience. She sorted out her thoughts and asked, “Superman Sensei, you must be a major player in the music industry.”

“What do you think?”

“I think you must be a superstar.”

“Hmm.”

“You’re not that old, right?”

“Take a guess.”

“Have you ever released an album?”

“Can’t recall.”

Su Mo was irked. What did he mean by ‘can’t recall’? He was obviously not giving in to her questions and completely shut her out. Was it that hard for him to have a proper chat?

Fortunately for Su Mo, Ye Lingchen soon took the initiative to speak.

“You look young. You’ve just graduated?”

“Mm, I’ve just graduated from a music conservatory this year and I’m doing my internship here,” Su Mo replied honestly.

“Not bad of you to do your internship in such a program right after you graduate. Why did you study music?” Ye Lingchen continued to ask.

“I like music, and I can make money if I make music.”

“It’s a good thing to treat your hobby as a career.” Ye Lingchen nodded. The next moment however, he advised her earnestly, “Young people shouldn’t put too much emphasis on making money though. You must understand that the world is fair. The more you get, the more you lose. Do you understand what I mean?”

Su Mo nodded pensively. “Yeah, sort of.”

Ye Lingchen looked at her with satisfaction. “Like me, for example. I made a lot of money, but there’s plenty of things missing in my life as a result.”

Su Mo looked at him curiously. “What is it that’s missing from your life?”

“Troubles.”

“…”

The atmosphere froze immediately.

Fortunately, there was a knock on the door a couple of seconds later, which broke the awkwardness.

“Hello, Superman Sensei. Your mic test begins.”

“Alright, let’s go.” Ye Lingchen took a step forward while the slightly irate Su Mo followed behind him.

Ye Lingchen was not the only who went out. The door next to his opened, and a person wearing a black feather mask exited the room. The person was obviously a woman as she was dressed in a black silk dress.

She was also one of their mysterious guests.

Things became tense in an instant when two of them made eye contact.

They walked side by side in silence and Su Mo quickly introduced them. “This is Superman Sensei. This is Miss Feather.”

Ye Lingchen nodded. “Hello.”

“Hi.” Feather nodded in response. “How old are you?”

Ye Lingchen suddenly made his voice hoarse. “Eighty, how about you?”

“Eighteen.”

“Oh, what’s your occupation?” Ye Lingchen’s voice returned to normal.

“Student, how about you?”

“Superman. Part-time savior of the world.”

“…”

Could he be serious for once? Was it that hard to be serious? Did he think it was nice to be spewing nonsense every time he opened his mouth?
