Heart has Ling XiCh1 - Little Singer King of Two Yuan Stores

A star scout discovered Ling Xi in an underground passageway. At the time, he was wearing a school uniform, clutching a guitar, sitting on a stool he had purchased, and performing original songs he had written. The young man appeared innocent, his voice was clear, and his smile was pure.

The scout tossed twenty dollars into the box in front of him, struck up a conversation, and asked whether he wanted to be a star. VrfczN

Ling Xi said: Yes.

The scout inquired: Good. So, what’s your name?

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Ling Xi introduced himself to the scout.

The scout was curious: Ling? This surname is quite rare. 4VA9e3

Ling Xi gazed up at him, a naive look in his eyes: How could that be? Ling Boli’s surname is also Ling.

The scout quickly determined that he had no choice but to embrace such an intellectually disabled child.

Ling Xi was taken to the agency by his parents a few days later to sign a contract. The personalities of the three Ling family members were identical – casual and artless. It could also be described as careless. Father Ling scanned the contract. He didn’t bother hiring a lawyer or raising any objections. He simply turned to Ling Xi and said, “Son, sign it.”

“OK,” answered Ling Xi.

The star scout appeared worried and inquired if they wanted to amend some of the terms – despite the fact that the agency would normally not agree to any changes they proposed.

Mother Ling motioned with her hand: “Never mind. This is sufficient. He won’t be popular anyway.”

Ling Xi had managed to misspell the “Xi” in his name during this conversation. The scout stood helpless as the child spelled his own name incorrectly. The right part of the word “Xi” was misspelled three times, causing ink to spill over the contract. Ling Xi tossed down the pen and asked, “Can I write in Pinyin?”

Obviously not. 9I6lNX

Ling Xi unwillingly took out his ID card and stared for a long time at the word “Xi” on it. He was furious and declared, “The first thing I want to do when I finish signing the contract is change my stage name.”

At the time, Ling Xi insisted on having his stage name altered to “夕“. It was clear that “夕” was much easier to write than “曦“. However, the agency believed that the word “夕” was a terrible omen. Finally, both parties took a step back and used the word “熙“.

Ling Xi began extensive training after changing his stage name. He was 15 years old and had just started senior high school when he signed the contract. He could only travel to the workplace for training on weekends, during winter and summer holidays. After two years of intensive training, the agency decided he was ready and sent him to a singing competition. He finished third at the national level after competing all throughout the country. He also graduated from high school that year.

Ling Xi enrolled in a music school after graduating from high school, under the supervision of his agency. He didn’t normally go to school and instead stayed at work every day to compose and rehearse songs. On this musical voyage, it might be claimed that Ling Xi possessed intrinsic abilities. Furthermore, the award he received was a boost bonus. His debut album was universally appreciated upon its release. The title track “Heart has Ling Xi” topped the major music ranking charts. For a while, his songs could be heard at all of the two-yuan shops, clothing stores, and hair salons on the streets.

His detractors gave him the “nickname” – Little Singer King of Two Yuan Stores.

This moniker was most likely a curse for him. All of the songs he released subsequently had ordinary sales, but they were regularly played in massage parlors that provided special services, department stores that offered little hair accessories, and those massive throughput businesses that sold migrant laborers knockoff mobile phones. A couple tunes were renowned as divine comedy and were adored by public square dance choreography trainers. u3vAq5

“Ling Xi, I had to pull several strings to help you win this opportunity. You must seize it, OK?” Since they boarded the plane, Wu Youpeng’s mouth had not stopped moving.

Ling Xi, on the other hand, who was constantly nagged by him, didn’t even have a hint of fear on his face. When the stewardess passed him, he swiftly grabbed the other’s skirt and shook the empty cup in his hands, asking shyly: “Is there any orange juice?”

Wu Youpeng rolled his eyes in frustration. This year marked Ling Xi’s 26th birthday. Except for the first album which sold well, the sales volume of the subsequent albums had not been as good, and the internet traffic was also fairly low. Fortunately, his songs were among the top five most downloaded ringtones from major telecom companies. Although this revenue was not large, it was sufficient to block the mouths of the company’s top brass. 5 WqV0

There were inevitably many new faces in the circle now, and the picture of “tender grass” that Ling Xi conveyed when he first debuted had long been buried by the current “fresh meat.” It was painfully obvious when no one in the economy class recognized Ling Xi!

This time, Wu Youpeng shamelessly utilized the relationship with his old friends to assist him obtain the opportunity to sing the end credits song for a certain period costume immortal hero idol drama. Moreover, he and the screenwriter had known each other for a long time. The script had a minor role that only featured for a few episodes that could be played by Ling Xi! It was Ling Xi’s debut acting role. Wu Youpeng was so overjoyed by this wonderful news that he couldn’t sleep for a few days.

Ling Xi was composed – or perhaps heartless – and unfazed. He even had the audacity to request another lunch set from the stewardess!

The stewardess shook her head apologetically: “I’m sorry sir, all the lunch sets have been distributed at this time, none are remaining.” 2woN8B

Ling Xi was surprised: “But I just saw a meal cart being pushed to the front. There were a few lunch sets left on the cart.”

The stewardess explained, “Sorry, those lunch sets were for the business class. Business class lunches are different from those of the economy class. I can’t…”

Ling Xi cut her off, saying, “Do you know who is sitting in front of you right now?”

“…?” TkduEH

Ling Xi: “I’m the Little Singer King of Two Yuan—mmph!” Wu Youpeng hurriedly covered his mouth before Ling Xi announced his identity. This ancestor possessed not a jot of an idol’s image!

The stewardess turned him down: “I sincerely apologize. We do, however, have some extra bread. If you require it, I can bring it to you.”

Ling Xi nodded in dejection: “Bread is fine, but you have to give me two boxes of butter.”

Wu Youpeng was so enraged that his nose became crooked. Ling Xi was born with a slender body, and no matter how much he ate, he never gained weight. Skinny was considered gorgeous in the entertainment industry, and his figure was enough to make many envious. He was a glutton, and he ate as much as he could regardless of the quality of the meal. Whatever kind of large event he faced, it had no effect on his appetite. Wu Youpeng was nervous about Ling Xi’s interview, but Ling Xi was eating and drinking happily, unconcerned. 8aUPBH

Extreme joy, as the proverb goes, turns to grief. Along with the bread, Ling Xi took a cold drink. It didn’t take long for his stomach to rumble. He jumped to his feet and dashed to the restroom. However, the two restrooms at the front and back of the plane were both crowded, and the lines were extremely long. Despite the circumstances, Ling Xi had the heart to make a joke about himself: If he pooped his pants on the plane, could he make the headlines? ……Alas, his name would never appear in the entertainment press, but he might be able to make the tabloids.

Ling Xi was fair and handsome. A stewardess showed compassion and secretly told him, “If it’s an emergency, I can take you there.”, referring to the designated bathroom in business class. Ling Xi’s smile bloomed like a flower, and he incessantly addressed her as “good younger sister.”

The stewardess smiled as she complimented his silver tongue, led him to the business class curtain, and opened a small entry for him. “Hurry up. There’s a celebrity on this plane, so don’t take random pictures, okay?”

Ling Xi’s tongue promised in a clear and honest manner, but in his heart he disdained: The celebrity is right in front of you. i0dDoA

Ling Xi had a specific purpose in mind and went straight to the restroom when he arrived in business class. The business class was almost completely vacant. Ling Xi noticed a man wearing a mask and sunglasses seated on the other side of the aisle in his peripheral vision. He was encircled by people from the front, the back, the left, and the right. Ling Xi had never eaten pork but had witnessed pigs running countless times. The radar in his head pinged, confirming that the people in the retinue were the agents and assistants of the man in the sunglasses.

The toilets in business class were significantly larger than those in economy class. The toilet seat was coated in a plastic film that wrapped itself. The toilet seat was not only heated, but the bidet spray also cleansed the buttocks after pooping. Ling Xi had intended to complete the task quickly, but the small sprinkler for washing his buttocks was far too comfortable. The water pressure was optimal, and the temperature was also ideal. It took him five minutes to shit and ten minutes to wash his buttocks.

He really liked the smart toilet. If it weren’t for the lack of a reserved socket next to the toilet in his house, he would surely install one in his house.

He was going to get up when he heard two men outside the door speaking to each other. lwuMxz

“Xu-ge, I only need to use the restroom. Is it necessary to follow me for just a few steps?” The first man to speak had a pleasant voice that Ling Xi seemed to recognize.

“Well, what can I do? I’ve seen you eat nothing but tomatoes and cucumbers lately. I have to keep an eye on you at all times. What if you pass out suddenly in the bathroom?” The second person was obviously older. Ling Xi guessed that the second individual was in his thirties.

“Don’t put me on a diet if you’re afraid I’ll faint.” The first man smiled bitterly: “Take a look at the movie you chose for me. The character is poor and thin at the beginning. Everyday, I feel starved and just half-alive, but the director is still not satisfied.”

Ling Xi realized what was going on. He surmised that the guys standing outside the door were the enigmatic “Brother Sunglasses” and his agent. Brother Sunglasses went on a diet to lose weight for a role. Fearing that he would starve to death, the agent followed him even when he went to the toilet, afraid that he might die while taking a dump. F4wVkS

Ling Xi pricked his ears and listened intently, hoping that the exchange between the two men might reveal Brother Sunglasses’ genuine identity. In the entertainment world, there was no shortage of gossip. He needed to absorb some “nutrients” before returning to “feed” Wu Youpeng.

“By the way, what’s that kid doing in business class?” asked the agent of Brother Sunglasses.

“The stewardess just came over to apologize and said that the guest needed to use the restroom, so she brought him in.” Brother Sunglasses spoke up.

“What apology!” The agent snorted disdainfully: “The stewardess obviously took advantage of the opportunity to come over and say a few more words with you… You’re far too friendly and willing to sign autographs and pose for photos… Okay, okay, don’t glare at me. You’re not at fault. I will shut up okay?” gpZfPr

Brother Sunglasses uttered a hmm.

Ling Xi was very envious as he sat on the commode and listened. When could he communicate with Wu Youpeng so firmly? Wu Youpeng was obviously his agent, but he was stricter with him than his own father. When Wu Youpeng stared at him, he could only listen obediently.

The agent outside the door asked again: “But why didn’t we see that kid leave?”

In response, Brother Sunglasses stated, “I guess he left when we were taking a group photo just now. There were so many people, we probably didn’t notice.” B5XAd

Ling Xi snickered silently: These two are too stupid.

He hid in the business class and overheard their chat. Didn’t they notice that the restroom door was locked from the inside, and that there was a red display outside the door indicating that the door was locked…

Fuck me!

It turned out that Ling Xi was the idiot! He was too anxious to use the toilet earlier and forgot to lock the door! Since the sign outside the door indicated ‘vacant’, Brother Sunglasses and his agent chatted at the door, and weren’t scared of being overheard. ACHdsd

Brother Sunglasses continued to speak: “Alright, you go back first. If I take too long to come out of the bathroom, you can come and look for me.”

Ling Xi couldn’t let him in! He wanted to bear the burden of being an idol for a while longer! However, he was powerless. The business class toilet was twice the size of the economy class toilet. Ling Xi was on the toilet, and even with his arms stretched out, he couldn’t reach the door lock. And the person who was standing outside the door was about to walk in……

Ling Xi did not hesitate any longer. He leapt up and dashed for the doorknob, not even bothering to pull up his pants. Unfortunately, the plane bumped owing to turbulence at that same moment, impacting the folding toilet door. Despite the fact that no one touched it, it popped open….

Brother Sunglasses: “…” TOpEn9

Brother Sunglasses’ agent: “…”

Ling Xi with bare buttocks and sticking out his ass: “…Hi?”
