I Am A Prodigy

[F*ck! Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Why is he here?]

[OMG, I’ve never expected God Ye to be on the stage.]

[Brothers and sisters, please tell me if I’m in a parallel world? I remember God Ye was a basketball player, right?]

[Having a sports celebrity perform crosstalk? Can you be any crazier?]

[Damn, I’ve never seen that chubby guy before either. He’s definitely a new guy!]

[F*ck, could the director care any less? I’m not watching this. It’s too dumb!]

Everyone exploded, many of them unable to believe their eyes as they rubbed hard at it. After taking another careful look, it was really the case.

That was just challenging their perspective to the limits.

Back at Ye Lingchen’s home…

His entire family was dumbfounded!

None spoke as they stared stupidly at the screen.

Xu Zhen and Ye Jin pinched themselves. ‘Our son is on the stage? He’s on the Spring Festival Gala?’

All the kids there were Ye Lingchen’s cousins. His younger sister missed her step, almost tripping over. “T-t-that’s my brother?”

“It’s Brother Chen. Brother Chen is on TV!” screamed Fourth cousin while pointing at the TV.

“Spring Festival Gala, my brother is on the Spring Festival Gala! This is enough for me to boast to the entire school!” His third brother was surprised with his mouth an ‘O’ shape.

His mother was wide-eyed with shock. “Oh my, how did Lingchen end up there?!”

His grandparents were staring hard at the TV. “It’s Little Chen, Little Chen is on the Spring Festival Gala?”

The entire family felt as though they were dreaming. In their eyes, the Spring Festival Gala was an impossibly far to reach platform akin to fairy tales. It was an unimaginable honor for them.

Regardless, someone in their family managed to achieve it.

‘Hot damn, this is too amazing.’

“Didn’t someone say that Lingchen was not performing at the Spring Festival Gala earlier? How is it now?” Zhang Yunxi’s mother’s face was beaming smugly as though she just saw her own child going on stage.

Third Aunt was speechless with her mouth agape.

“Sister Zhen! Sister Zhen!”

“Dr. Ye Jin, Dr. Ye Jin!”

Right then, the entire village was riled up.

The neighbors around them went nuts, a lot of them running directly towards Ye Lingchen’s home while shouting.

Watching the Spring Festival Gala was a staple of their life. Who would have thought to see a familiar figure? That kid Ye Lingchen was someone they watched growing up!

“Your son is on the Spring Festival Gala!”

“That is wonderful! Your son has brought you much honor!”

“I’ve seen this coming. That Ye Lingchen had always been special. Turns out he is really spectacular!”

…

On the Spring Festival Gala’s front stage…

Lin Tianxiong and Qin Baichuan were still chatting. However, they were shocked when they saw the scene before them. “What the…why is that kid on the stage?”

Lin Tianxiong was stunned. “It’s not impossible. I’ve not seen this kid being stumped thus far.”

“F*ck. Did they mess it up?”

“Why don’t I know any of them? Are they new celebrities?”

“What happened? The program is totally different.”

Many of the guests for the Spring Festival Gala was flabbergasted.

…

Weibo, Jinri Toutiao, TikTok…

[Have you seen it? God Ye is on the stage!]

[God Ye is doing crosstalk? What’s going on?]

[I didn’t expect that news to be real. Sensei Guo Dongshan has gone off. To find someone in such a short time. Is he there to save the program?]

[How did this crosstalk come about? I don’t think the quality will be good.]

[God Ye and an unknown new guy. Is this a cannon fodder combo?]

[Most importantly, can God Ye do crosstalks?]

[How would I know?! Just watch.]

[Today, I will see how bad a program can be.]

[Everyone, come see this. Tag the entire world. Something big is going down!]

…

In front of their TV screens, Xiao Feifei, Xu Nan, and Xu Wanqing were all dumbfounded. ‘Just how did that guy get on that stage?’

At Wanrong Technology’s headquarters…

“Director Ouyang, come have a look. This…it looks like Director Ye is at the Spring Festival Gala…”

At Huyu Streaming’s headquarters, Song Qian was enjoying his instant noodles. With one look, it made him snort out noodles from his nostrils. “D-D-Director Ye is on the Spring Festival Gala?”

Capital University was even rowdier. The entire university’s internet went berserk.

[F*ck, it’s God Ye. He’s on the Spring Festival Gala!]

[He’s the first-year student of our Capital University! Amazing!]

“Hey, Potato, are you watching the Spring Festival Gala? Ye’zi’s there!”

“I saw it. F*ck! I’m so damn excited. I can’t stop telling my family that this is my housemate!”

“I’ve shared a bed with Ye’zi back then!”

At that moment, everyone was a little stupefied!

The backstage crew of the Spring Festival Gala was watching the stage apprehensively.

That program was walking on a tightrope. It was rushed down to the last second. Nobody knew what the outcome would be.

“Can God Ye do it?”

“He…should be fine?”

“It’s up to him now.”

Feng Xiaofeng’s hands shook fervently and his breathing became labored, standing frozen still. His eyes never left the stage. Nervousness, excitement, restlessness, and other emotions were all running through his mind.

What came next would be up to fate.

…

On the scene, the crosstalk began!

After the initial shock, the audience eventually recovered their senses. Although their gazes were still glued to the stage, their hands subconsciously began to clap, applauding the show!

‘Wastrel?’

What kind of crosstalk would it be?

In the middle of the stage were a table and two mics.

Ye Lingchen stood there calmly, while Little Yueyue was surreptitiously trying to adjust his breathing to control his emotion.

“Hello everyone.” Ye Lingchen stood still, then spoke into the mic with a smile, “Let me wish everyone Happy Chinese New Year on this stage.”

Little Yueyue greeted with his fists together, “Happy Chinese New Year!”

Ye Lingchen added, “May your wishes come true!”

The audience was passionate, applauding them loudly. Just like the netizens, they did not know what kind of crosstalk Ye Lingchen and his partner would perform for them!

It began officially with Ye Lingchen speaking, “It’s difficult not to feel nervous when performing a crosstalk on this stage.”

Little Yueyue asked, “What are you nervous about?”

Ye Lingchen, “Our format is very simple, with only two people. Stand over here.”

Little Yueyue nodded. “That’s right.”

Ye Lingchen, “We’re going blablabla here. Of course, it would be better if we have a good fool. I’m very troubled and frustrated at the moment.”

Little Yueyue interjected immediately, “Wait a minute. Are you trying to say that I’m no good?”

Ye Lingchen quickly stopped himself. “Haha, hehe, that…actually…”

Little Yueyue was speechless. His little round eyes opened wide. “What’s gone is gone, and gone with happiness?”

Immediately, the audience broke into fits of laughter!

“Pfft!”

“Hahaha!”

“I’m dying from laughter. The tone is so funny.”

“This is so funny. Their expression is just too colorful.”

“God Ye is too mean. He’s got Little Yueyue so confused.”

The opening gave everyone a shock that got them excited!

‘It seems…quite interesting!’
