Ye Qingyi felt both embarrassed and furious after being unexpectedly kissed by a strange girl.
It wasn’t that she couldn’t be kissed—a little peck on the cheek between girls didn’t usually seem like a big deal.
The problem was—the girl had kissed Su Mo’s face!
That was her man. How could another girl touch him!?
Ahhhhhh…
Although Su Mo had run away quickly, Ye Qingyi clearly remembered her face and figure. She glanced in the direction Su Mo had fled, feeling the retreating figure looked somewhat familiar.
Gnashing her teeth, Ye Qingyi thought to herself: Just you wait. If I ever run into you, I’ll make you regret what you did today.
While she was lost in her thoughts, the fan girls around her went wild. A sharp, excited scream erupted from the crowd.
“Who was that just now? Someone catch her, sisters!”
“Ahhhhhh, that wretched girl! She actually kissed my Mo Mo! Wuwuwu… I haven’t even kissed him yet…”
“Gosh, Mo Bao’s blushing face is so adorable! I want to kiss him too.”
“Not bad, another wave of traffic…” someone said, pulling out their phone and opening a live stream. “Hello, everyone! This is…”
Feeling irritated and in no mood to deal with these fans, Ye Qingyi quickly seized an opportunity to escape the crowd, her face a clear picture of grievance and anger.
“I can’t swallow this anger. I’m going to find her!” she muttered to herself, then left under the bewildered gazes of Huo Jingshu and Xia Qingqing.
Xia Qingqing: “He seems really angry.”
Huo Jingshu: “Boys are so strange. Usually, they’re all lecherous, but when someone actually kisses them, they get upset.”
“After all, Su Mo isn’t a real boy,” Xia Qingqing promptly reminded her.
Huo Jingshu met her eyes and affirmed, “While it can’t be proven, many facts point to it being true.”
In unison, they said: “It must be like that.”
The incident caused quite a stir on Starfall Island that day. Unbeknownst to those hyping it up, their actions had actually helped Su Mo achieve his goal.
Within hours, Ye Qingyi’s fan club had pushed the story to the top of Starfall Island’s local trending list. Nearly everyone on the island now knew that a young fan girl had managed to kiss her idol.
However, Su Mo hadn’t anticipated just how powerful Ye Qingyi’s fan base was. His initial plan was simply to spread the word that he was her fan. He never expected to become the public enemy of countless young girls across the island.
Uh—
Well… the goal was achieved anyway.
After all, there’s nothing wrong with a spy being a fan.
Especially when the star is so handsome and captivating.
Hehe…
Arriving at the Talent Camp, Su Mo found the conditions exceptionally good. Not only did each person get their own private apartment, but the dining and recreational facilities were also abundant.
He couldn’t help but feel puzzled: Isn’t the Talent Camp a place to train elite human warriors? Why does it feel more like a resort?
They must have their reasons, he figured.
After settling into his accommodation and changing clothes, he planned to go out and familiarize himself with the surroundings.
But just as he stepped out, his phone rang—a call from an unknown number.
“Hello?” Su Mo prepared to hang up at any moment.
“Hello, I’m a staff member of the Talent Camp, also in charge of welcoming newcomers. May I confirm if your email address is **********? If so, I will send you some rules and guidelines for the Talent Camp.”
Hearing it was useful information, Su Mo immediately responded seriously, “Yes, that’s correct. Thank you.”
If it was about the Talent Camp, it was highly unlikely to be a scam, so he felt relatively at ease.
Sure enough, a pile of files arrived in his inbox within seconds, a testament to their efficiency.
Su Mo abandoned his plan to explore and sat down on the new sofa to browse through the documents:
Talent Camp Overview.pdf
Talent Camp Training & Assessment Rules.pdf
Safety Responsibility Guarantee Form.docx
Identity Confirmation Form.docx
…
He had to admit, the service here was quite good. The various documents sent by the staff gave him a general understanding of the Talent Camp.
Combined with what Ye Qingyi had previously shared with him, he felt much less like a complete newbie.
With his current memory, memorizing all this was a piece of cake.
It was like when he learned foreign languages before; it would normally be impossible to master a language so quickly, no matter how hard you crammed.
After reviewing everything, Su Mo first filled out the required forms as instructed, printed them, and submitted them to the designated location.
He made a surprising discovery: there were many East Asians with similar complexions here, mostly from Xia Country and the Island Nation.
Most importantly, the founder and current Camp Director of the Talent Camp was a Xia Country national named Long Tianyu—the third star of the Big Dipper, Tianji Star.
After submitting the forms, Su Mo left the welcome office and immediately saw Ye Qingyi walking towards him, her expression icy cold.
Su Mo knew at a glance that she was looking for him. But the current ‘him’ wasn’t the old ‘him’—he was now a new person: Chiyore Ka, also known as Lin Qianye.
Seeing Ye Qingyi indeed heading his way, Su Mo immediately wiped his previous expression away, replacing it with one of excitement, nervousness, and shyness.
“Brother Mo, long time no see!!!” His voice was soft, but infused with such excited emotion that it carried a surprising strength.
“What ‘long time no see’? Didn’t you just kiss me a little while ago!” Ye Qingyi tried her best to sound calm, but her tone was still full of displeasure.
Hearing the emotion in her voice, Su Mo found it suddenly amusing: Is she… jealous? Hahahaha, that’s so cute.
He acted flustered, avoiding eye contact, not daring to look directly at his idol. “I’m sorry, I really shouldn’t have kissed you in public like that.”
“What, you want to kiss me in private instead?” Ye Qingyi felt her composure cracking.
Su Mo hung his head as if wronged, his long eyelashes fluttering rapidly, a faint blush crossing his cheeks. He whispered softly, “Is… is that really okay?”
“Okay? No, it’s absolutely not okay!” Ye Qingyi glared at him. “Let me make this clear, we are not done with what happened today. If there’s a next time…”
Her face was terrifyingly cold, more threatening than any words could be.
“Oh~” Su Mo’s desire to act skyrocketed. He looked like a well-behaved girl cornered by a boy in a school hallway, appearing utterly pitiable and endearing.
Just then, a deep male voice called out from a distance: “What’s going on here?”
Both of them turned towards the source of the voice and saw a middle-aged man approaching. He was quite short and had a small mustache under his nose.
“It’s nothing, he’s not bullying me. We were just… discussing some things,” Su Mo answered first.
Ye Qingyi was immediately speechless: The way you said that makes it sound like I am bullying you, and you’re too afraid to speak up under my pressure!
She was both angered and amused by this seemingly shy, yet brazenly forward love-rival girl in front of her.
She’s really laying on the ‘tea’ act thick.
