Zhang Ye felt that he had to get this award, regardless of anything. Wasn’t he waiting for this? Once he had experience on hand, Zhang Ye could have vast oceans of flying fish… Eh, that’s not right. Vast oceans of jumping birds… Eh, that’s not right either. High skies… high skies filled with birds… Forget it! What a crappy phrase!
After teasing Zhang Ye, Cao Mengmeng began talking about her biggest idol. Strictly speaking, Zhang Ye did not belong to this world and there were many changes that he did not know about. But everyone in the family knew of Cao Mengmeng’s hardcore star-chasing, and Zhang Yuanqi was her favourite, “I must go support my Auntie Yuanqi’s new movie. She’s too pretty, so gentle and so very elegant. When I grow up, I want to be as beautiful as someone like Auntie Yuanqi.”
Third Aunt smiled, “My daughter will definitely be beautiful.”
Remembering something, Cao Mengmeng glanced toward Zhang Ye, “Brother, you’ve got to work harder. You’re only a small star now, so you have to quickly gain more fame. And when you reach Zhang Yuanqi’s level, you must get an autograph from her for me. That is my biggest wish. Ah, ah. If I had her autograph, that would be so great; my schoolmates would be so envious of me!”
Zhang Ye rolled his eyes, “Who is a really small star now?”
“Heehee. That’s about what you are.” Cao Mengmeng swung her pigtails around saying, “If you get me Zhang Yuanqi’s autograph, I will admit that you are a famous star and worship you in the future.”
Zhang Ye deliberately quipped, “If I can get it? How will you worship me?”
Cao Mengmeng rolled back her eyes, “Get over it. You can’t even meet Zhang Yuanqi now; how do you expect to get her autograph?”
“Who says I can’t get to see her?” Zhang Ye suddenly bragged.
Cao Mengmeng stuck out her tongue, “Keep on bragging; like I would believe it.”
Cao Dan asked, “Where will our brother get the autograph from? What kind of person is Zhang Yuanqi like? Having bodyguards all around whenever she goes out, even if you were to meet her coincidentally, you would not be able to see her. She’s going to be well-protected.”
Cao Mengmeng eagerly said, “Brother, I will depend on you anyway!”
“Don’t give trouble to your bother.” Third Aunt told her daughter. “Little Ye has just debuted; how do you expect him to get you Zhang Yuanqi’s autograph?”
Third Uncle, who had just come back from his smoke break, also said, “Little Ye, don’t be bothered by her.”
Zhang Ye laughed, then said to the youngest sister, “Do you really want to have it?”
“Of course! I want it, even in my dreams.” Cao Mengmeng was a passionate fan of Zhang Yuanqi’s, “Even if you take away a year of my lifespan, I still want it!”
“Stop spouting nonsense.” Grandma lightly nudged her head.
Cao Mengmeng clutched her head and said, “But it’s true; I am Auntie Yuanqi’s hardcore fan!”
Zhang Ye and his Mom, along with their few aunties, were all tickled by Cao Mengmeng’s antics.
Zhang Ye then mysteriously said, “Sure. Wait for me a little, then. I will go to the bathroom.” In the toilet, Zhang Ye flipped through his wallet and took out a piece of paper. Did he have Zhang Yuanqi’s autograph? He really did have it. It was from the other time when Zhang Yuanqi left the note to him before leaving his house. On it was written, “I’ve saved your phone number; the same goes for your unit number. I’ve forgotten yesterday’s incident; I guess you have, too.” in some sort of threatening tone.
Sign off:
— Zhang Yuanqi.
Zhang Ye cleared his throat, tore off the top part of the note, and kept the signature intact. He then grasped it in his hand and walked outside.
Outside the house.
Cao Mengmeng was still jumping around, expressing her love for Zhang Yuanqi, “The other time when the concert ended, I was just 100 metres away from her; a hundred metres! I hate myself for not having the courage to rush up! Then, maybe I would have gotten an autograph from her! It’s my biggest regret! I hate it!”
“Really?” Cao Dan said in frustration.
Cao Tong tousled her little sister’s hair, “Haha. There will be chances in the future.”
Actually, Cao Dan and Cao Tong were also very into Zhang Yuanqi. They were just not at the level of crazy, like their third sister was.
Zhang Ye came over and nudged Cao Mengmeng with his arm, then opened his fisted hand and said, “Take it.”
“What’s this?” Cao Mengmeng not understanding the situation, “Did you use this in the toilet? Aiya, brother; that’s too dirty!”
Zhang Ye nearly fainted, “It’s not toilet paper! Take a clearer look. You don’t know how good I am.”
“Let me see; what’s this mysterious thing?” Cao Tong grabbed it, opened the note and gave out a scream, “Ahh! This can’t be?”
Cao Mengmeng’s curiosity was aroused. She immediately jumped up, “Show it to me! Show it to me!”
Cao Tong handed the note to Cao Mengmeng, dumbfounded, “You should prepare yourself for this!”
Cao Mengmeng casually took
