Chapter 11 Part 2

As soon as Chen Yue Yang appeared at the gates of the TV station, a group of young girls rushed to approach him, all young fans waiting for him.

When other celebrities appeared in public, the fans fought and struggled to give presents to the celebrity. But Chen Yue Yang’s fans were different. All of them had many papers in their hands. Looking at them, if it wasn’t their graded school reports or other types of professional certificates, then it was an undergraduate diploma. Otherwise, they didn’t have the qualifications to pursue stars.

Someone who didn’t know would think they were daughters trying to get their father’s signature on the school report.

As for the reason for today’s situation, Chen Yue Yang was  the sole responsible.

Not long after he became famous, in a program, Chen Yue Yang once talked about his schooling experience. He entered the company at the age of 15 as a trainee, and debuted at the age if 20. In his closely-packed work schedule, there was little time left for studying. He said he was uneducated and started working after receiving only the 9 years of compulsory education. Therefore, he did his utmost to study by himself to improve, hoping he could be worthy of his fans’ love.

After talking, the rim of his eyes was red, but he endured and didn’t let the tears fall, and a self-mocking smile was faintly discernible at the corner of his lips.

Waa—

With tear-stained beautiful faces, the fans ached for their young brother, heartbroken and sorrowful.

Later on, when fans went to meet him at the airport, Chen Yue Yang saw a young girl in her school uniform among the crowd. On the name badge was written the grade of a high school affiliated with a well-known university. Chen Yue Yang stopped in front of her and asked her why she was skipping class.

The young female student had big guts and summoned her courage to say: “Skipping class during the first grade, can it be called skipping class?” She said and took her school report fresh out of her schoolbag.

Chen Yue Yang took a picture with her. In the picture, the girl was holding a school report as she straightened up her chest especially high. Chen Yue Yang said: “Jiayou1, when you are admitted into university, older brother will go to a parent-teacher meeting for you.”

Wow—

Melting, melting, the star-chasing dogs melted for their idol’s ardent love for learning.

Later, this young girl in first grade skipped a year and then skipped a year again. After graduating, she went to an entertainment company for an internship, and was assigned to be Chen Yue Yang’s public relations assistant.

After so many years, Chen Yue Yang still remembered her. Chen Yue Yang seemed to deliberately crush her fantasies, his exact first words were: “Crying on that show about how I don’t have time to study was all the image created by the company.”

First-grade girl: “……”

“I usually only read comics.”

Waa—

Take off the powder 2, take off the powder, towards this pretty and flirtatious bitchy big celebrity, the young assistant took off the powder.

All in all, this resulted in the current situation in which wherever Chen Yue Yang goes, school reports and diplomas flied together. Under his most efficient PR assistant’s publicity, everyone knew that Chen Yue Yang never accepted gifts from his fans. His favorite gifts were his fans’ good grades.

While Chen Yue Yang signed autographs or took pictures with fans, Fei Chang guarded him by his side looking like a bodyguard. If someone didn’t behave and tried to grope or hug in the middle of the confusion, he would walk over and carry the person to the side.

While he was trying hard to be on duty, someone suddenly closed in and pulled Fei Chang’s sleeve.

Fei Chang looked down and saw a pair of little mushroomes that didn’t reach his chest.

Fei Chang asked: “What’s the matter?”

The little mushrooms said: “We are your fans, can we get an autograph?”

Fei Chang felt happy. Hey, this were his second and third fans!

“Ok. Where do I sign?”

The little mushrooms took out a thin book. It was a comic. The drawing style was something between The Powerpuff Girls and My Little Pony, and the characters resembled the Teletubbies with a similar narrative to Happy Tree Friends. On the cover, only the protagonist was meticulously carved, and it looked very much like Chen Yue Yang.

The little mushroom pointed at the 2D Chen Yue Yang on the cover and said: “Just sign here, ok?”

Fei Chang: “……”

  1. heads up, something seems amiss with the footnote links.

    Bless you for translating this. Coming back after a reading-hiatus to a few more chapters of this is so very healing. Love this dorky giraffe.
