【Ah, ah, ah, Jiang Ye!!!】
【Wuwuwu, I’ve been perfectly shot by Jiang Mei’s arrow, it’s amazing, it’s amazing!】
【My beautiful goose is so sweet, today’s sugar intake is definitely over the top! I’m about to pass out from sweetness.】
【Friends, can we say that Jiang Mei’s stage presence is the ceiling of Chinese entertainment idols?】
【I came here from the hot search, I heard that the Chasing Light Girls fan meeting was a car crash today?】
【You’re late, you missed Jiang Ye’s amazing scene of saving the day, I suggest you come quickly and join us in the happy world of sweet girls!】
•••
Jiang Ye knew that if she stuck to the sweet girl style, it would not be very clever.
But if she occasionally showed a little cuteness under the stage queen persona, this wonderful contrast would definitely help her gain more fans and make her character more versatile.
Plus, this was a fan meeting, so occasionally showering the fans with love would make the fans in the audience go crazy.
Sure enough, the teal light sticks in the audience immediately started swaying wildly.
The stage performance ended.
Jiang Ye and her teammates bowed to the audience.
After performing three stages in a row, even Jiang Ye was a little out of breath.
But when she lifted her head, even though sweat was constantly dripping from her forehead, her eyes shone brightly under the camera, just like her eyes.
Her teammates and the audience started greeting each other.
Jiang Ye raised one hand and waved, pressing the microphone with the other hand, and said with a smile, "Thank you everyone!"
These three stages were three different styles, fulfilling three wishes of the fans.
The hope of seeing her perform the competition stages again.
The hope of seeing her challenge a style she had never tried before.
And the hope of seeing her perform "If I Can", which was suitable for her but was not chosen for her.
This fan meeting was a chance for the other trainees to interact with their fans.
For Jiang Ye, it was a chance to give back to her fans.
All five stages were performed.
All the trainees returned to the stage.
The host also came on stage, chatted with the trainees for a while, then said, "Now we’re going to move on to the interaction segment." "Each trainee needs to draw a fan from the audience and complete a small task with them."
The staff members brought up two boxes.
The host said, "The small slips of paper in the left box are the task contents."
"And the small slips of paper in the right box are the seat numbers of each fan."
"Come on, let’s see which lucky fan will have the chance to interact with the trainee they like."
The audience was instantly excited.
But Jiang Ye was not so optimistic in her heart.
It sounded like a benefit for the fans, but if you think about it carefully, the randomness of this draw is too big.
There were so many people in the audience, what if she accidentally drew a fan from a rival fandom?
Fortunately, the contents of the box weren’t too outrageous.
Even if she drew a rival fan, everyone knew they just had to act it out.
After all, there were so many people and cameras.
Even if someone hated their rival fandom, they wouldn’t make a scene in front of so many people.
And to be honest, during the selection period, there wasn’t any deep hatred between fandoms, most people had a one pick, but they also wished others well.
But Lin Zui was unlucky.
The task she drew was to accept a song request from a fan in the audience.
She drew a fan to come on stage, and when she looked closely, she saw that the fan was wearing a teal bracelet, basically announcing their fandom.
Lin Zui: "..."
But Jiang Ye’s fans were indeed numerous, so it wasn’t strange that she would be drawn.
So, Lin Zui calmly asked, "What do you want to hear?"
"Can I request anything?"
The fan said without hesitation, "Then I want to hear 'Breaking Free and Becoming a Butterfly'."
The audience was in an uproar.
"Breaking Free and Becoming a Butterfly" was the original song Jiang Ye performed during the initial evaluation.
Asking Lin Zui to sing this song at this time was clearly a way for her to show her identity as a Jiang Ye fan, to provoke her a little.
Jiang Ye raised her eyebrows when she heard this.
But Lin Zui’s expression didn’t change, not even a moment’s hesitation, she said, "Okay."
The fan: "???"
Didn’t you realize I was trying to make things difficult for you?!
You’re not really going to do it, are you?!
"Do you have the accompaniment?"
Lin Zui said, "If not, I’ll just sing a cappella."
She said it and did it, she actually sang a cappella version of the chorus, and her pitch was perfect.
The other people in the audience were stunned, "???"
Lin Zui didn’t have any other thoughts.
It was normal for her to know this song.
She had really liked this song when Jiang Ye performed it during the initial evaluation, and after they became familiar with each other, she specifically asked Jiang Ye for the sheet music and talked to her a little about the songwriting process.
After singing, she looked at Jiang Ye and asked, "What does the original singer think?"
Jiang Ye curved her eyes and led the applause, "I think it’s very good."
The other trainees, who were eager to see the drama unfold, also applauded.
Fans: "..."
The audience’s screams got even louder.
The comments were about to explode with laughter.
【Looking at the color of the bracelet and the hair tie, this should be a solo fan, right? But the person doesn’t know that it’s like a CP fan dancing in front of their idol.】
【This sister is going to be hung on the anti-black station by both fandoms tonight, 23333.】
【Wuwuwu, thank you, solo fan sister, for personally delivering the sugar, today’s i-Lin Shen Ye Mao fans are going to pass out from sweetness!!】
•••
Jiang Ye’s task was to make eye contact with a fan in the audience for ten seconds.
This task wasn’t very difficult, even if she really drew a rival fan, just ten seconds of eye contact, they wouldn’t do anything to her.
So, Jiang Ye was very calm when she drew the fan’s seat number, saying that it would be best if it was her own fan, it would be like giving them a gift.
If it wasn’t, it didn’t matter, maybe she could convert one on the spot.
But the heavens didn’t give her the chance to use her beauty to lure other fandoms to climb the wall, she drew one of her own fans.
The girl was so excited when she came on stage that her face was red, and before the host could speak, she said, "Wuwuwu, Jiang Ye, hello, I’ve liked you for a long time, Mom loves you!"
Laughter erupted from the audience.
Jiang Ye: "..."
It's kind of funny to hear a fan who's only 1.5 meters tall call herself "Mom".
Jiang Ye looked at her and asked with a smile, "Shall we begin?"
The fan nodded frantically, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, okay!"
The host, "Timer starts!"
Jiang Ye curved her lips and took a step closer to her.
Then she lowered her head and looked at the fan who was almost a head shorter than her, her eyes filled with tenderness.
The fan immediately held her breath.
When Jiang Ye stared intently without speaking, she looked very deep, making the fan’s heart beat uncontrollably.
And seeing her up close, she was so beautiful, her face was full of collagen, not a single flaw, exquisite like a real-life doll.
Jiang Ye didn’t blink, her gaze was direct and gentle.
The fan was being stared at, and her ears gradually turned red.
The cameras in the audience were all focused on them.
The other trainees were watching with amusement.
The fans in the audience were instantly in an uproar.
The comments also started boiling.
【Damn, I’m jealous, wuwuwu, husband, how can you look at someone else like that!!】
【Help, I’m kind of shipping them!】
【This height difference is really kswlkswl, everyone is tall, so I never noticed that Jiang Mei was so tall before! So domineering, I can do this!】
【Sea King Jiang Ye, how can you even flirt with your own fans, wuwuwu!!】
The ten seconds of eye contact ended.
The little fan, who proudly declared herself a "Mom" fan, blushed all the way to her neck.
It was all because Jiang Ye was so beautiful!
Being stared at so closely by such a beautiful person was very intimidating!
Before sending her offstage, Jiang Ye joked, "We seem to be playing a game of statues."
The fan thought she was referring to not blinking for ten seconds, and she nodded and said, "Yes."
"But I lost."
Jiang Ye chuckled softly, "I was touched when I looked at you."
The audience was silent for a second, then erupted in a wave of screams.
The comments also exploded.
【Damn, damn, damn, husband, no!!!】
【I didn’t expect our Jiang Mei to say cheesy lines, help, it’s so cheesy and old, but when she says it, why am I so touched?】
【Wuwuwu, she’s so good at her job, wuwuwu, why didn’t I get tickets to the fan meeting? I’m so mad!】
【I’m so envious of the fan who got chosen, did she save the galaxy in her past life?】
•••
After all the game segments were finished, it was finally time for the signing session.
The signing session would no longer be live-streamed, so the fans who weren’t there could only be envious and wait for the reports later.
And to save time, each person could only get one trainee’s autograph.
This was the most direct way to see who had the most popularity.
It was easy to see a long line in front of the popular trainees, while those with lower popularity would finish signing after only a few people.
Fortunately, the top twelve trainees of Chasing Light Girls all had a considerable number of fans, so there weren’t any awkward situations where they only had a few fans in front of them.
Jiang Ye quietly looked at the line in front of her, which was much longer than the lines in front of the others: "..."
Wouldn’t she be signing until midnight?
But as an idol, you still have to have basic qualities.
Jiang Ye wouldn’t show any hesitation in front of her fans, she still had a bright and radiant professional smile as she picked up her pen, saying to the person in front of her, "Hello."
"Hello! Sister Jiang Ye!"
The girl sat down in front of her, nodded happily, and said, "I’ve liked you for a long time!!"
Jiang Ye was slightly stunned when she heard the word "sister", she took a moment to look at her before signing, and said, "Are you still in middle school?"
"Ah."
The fan said, "Almost, I’m turning sixteen soon!"
Jiang Ye calculated and asked, "Shouldn’t you still be in school?"
"It’s okay, it’s okay, I asked for leave from school."
The girl happily narrowed her eyes, "Because I think it’s more important to see you."
"Sister Jiang Ye, I’ve liked you since your first initial evaluation, I’m so happy watching you all the way, so you have to debut."
"I didn’t think I had a chance to get tickets, wuwuwu, I used all the money I saved for a long time to come see you!"
"I was going to donate the money to your debut fundraising link, but now I can’t, are you mad at me, sister?"
The girl said in a very apologetic tone, "I haven’t even eaten breakfast for five months to save this money."
She sighed softly, then quickly said, "But it’s okay, sister, I’ll find a way to save more money, there are still a few days left! We’ll definitely send you to debut."
Jiang Ye’s pen suddenly stopped.
She looked at the little girl in front of her, who was younger than her, and said seriously, "Thank you for liking me so much."
"But don’t do this again."
The fan was slightly stunned.
"I’m happy that you like me, of course."
Jiang Ye asked her, "But if you do this for me, do you think I’ll be happy?"
The fan was a little confused.
She was young, and she didn’t have her own system for judging things yet.
She just saw the big fans on the homepage urging people to donate, saying that if you don’t donate your allowance, you don’t deserve to like Jiang Ye, so she just threw all her money in.
She thought it was worth it to support the dreams of the person she liked.
But she didn’t expect that the person she liked would reject her kindness so directly.
The fan quickly said, "But debuting is so important to you."
Jiang Ye looked at her and smiled, "But every fan is more important to me."
The fan suddenly felt a gentle touch on her heart.
Jiang Ye asked her, "What grade are you in this year?"
"..."
She whispered, "Senior year."
Jiang Ye: "..."
Didn’t she have the college entrance exam in a few months?
She had snuck out to attend her fan meeting before the college entrance exam.
This made her feel very guilty.
"… Be good."
Jiang Ye finished signing her autograph and coaxed her like a child, "Go back and study hard, don’t spend too much time on me."
Before the fan could speak, she said, "I promise you, I will definitely have debuted by then."
"Then you also have to promise me, you’ll come see me again after you get into college, okay?"
The fan was stunned for a second, then her eyes lit up.
She looked at Jiang Ye’s serious expression and nodded affirmatively, "Okay!"
