I'm Really a Superstar

Chapter 1515 - I\'m back!

Translator: Legge Editor: Legge

Throughout the journey, despair enveloped the group.

This was a group of professional Go players who had just begun their careers. They were supposed to be at their most successful and glorious peaks right now, yet in the end, an amateur who seemed to be out of touch with this era had used the eliminated Cosmic Flow from yesteryear to crush the group of them once over. Every game was played using the Cosmic Flow, and every game followed the same standard approach!

But they just could not win against it!

The Tian Style that Teacher Tian Weiwei had founded?

The Turtle Style 1 that Chen Ying had created?

They were all ineffective!

None of them could win against the Cosmic Flow!

What was with this situation?

Who the hell was this person?

Wasn\'t this amateur a little too strong for his ranking?

For a moment, the group of teenagers had a suspicion. It felt like this young man sitting across from them was the professional, while they were the amateurs!

Chen Niannian was convinced at her loss this time. "We\'ve encountered an expert today."

Huo Yan said, "There\'s that saying about how talents walk among the common folk. I didn\'t used to believe it!"

Chen Qiqi shouted, "Big Bro…Uncle, you call this standard of yours amateur? You wouldn\'t have a problem even if you played professionally. Why don\'t you join our China Qiyuan?"

Zhang Ye smiled and said, "I\'m someone who has fallen behind in time, so I\'d better not be a bother to you guys."

Chen Qiqi rolled her eyes. "Why are you so petty?"

Zhang Ye laughed. "Haha."

Huo Yan rolled up his sleeves and said, "Looks like you guys need me to get called into action."

Chen Niannian curled her lips and said, "With your Go skills, I think you can forget about it."

Huo Yan chuckled. "I\'ll be playing Xiangqi with this big bro."

Everyone gave him looks of contempt.

"Get lost."

"He\'s a Go expert."

"Yeah, why would he play against a professional Xiangqi player like you?"

But Zhang Ye said, "We\'re stuck in traffic anyway, so why not play a game?"

Huo Yan said excitedly, "Alright, come on!"

20 minutes later.

The bus arrived at Yalong Bay.

When the coach reached the westernmost zone of the resort where the villa hotel was located, Zhang Ye glanced out the window before lowering his head to play the last piece. "Checkmate." Then he said to the driver with a smile, "Driver, don\'t drive any further. You can drop me off at the curb. I\'ll be getting off here, thank you."

He stood up and walked towards the exit.

The group of teenagers were left behind on the bus in disbelief!

"Holy shit!"

"You can even play Xiangqi?"

"Oh my God!"

The bus stopped and the door opened.

Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Thanks for giving me a lift. I\'ll be going then."

Chen Qiqi shouted outside, "Master, who exactly are you?"

Chen Niannian also said, "Don\'t tell me you really know our aunt?"

Zhang Ye got down from the bus and waved at their outstretched hands. "Send my regards to your aunt and Little Tian."

Chen Qiqi asked, "Send what regards?"

Zhang Ye laughed. "Just say that I\'m back."

Zhang Ye took his leave as his figure disappeared into the villa hotel.

Everyone on the bus looked at one another.

Huo Yan said in astonishment, "Could he really know Master Tian and Sister Chen?"

Chen Qiqi said angrily, "Who knows? He doesn\'t even make himself clear and just says ambiguous things like \'I\'m back\'? So who the hell is he?"

All of a sudden, a teenager said, "Hey, don\'t you guys find him a little familiar?"

Huo Yan said, "Do you?"

"Ah, now that you mention it, it really feels so!" Chen Qiqi exclaimed.

Chen Niannian was also stunned. "He does look a little familiar!"

Chen Qiqi said, "But as his face was mostly covered up by the sunglasses, I couldn\'t get a clear look at him!"

Huo Yan said, "In any case, the hotel he got off at isn\'t that far from where we\'re headed. Who knows, we might just bump into him again over the next few days."

A girl said, "He\'s staying at the No. 1 Villa Hotel? He must be really rich."

…

The sun.

The sea.

The sand.

Zhang Ye\'s mood was lifted by the blowing sea breeze.

In front of him, a single villa stood close to the sea. Such standalone villas that faced the sea weren\'t particularly abundant in the entire hotel. So there weren\'t that many people to be seen on the private beach. Some tropical and subtropical plants stood in the villa\'s yard and created a large shady region. The environment here felt quite comfortable to live in.

One step.

Two steps.

The closer Zhang Ye got, the harder his heart thumped. He was a little excited and a little scared at the same time.

It had been more than three years. How was his family doing?

Were his parents doing well?

Were there wrinkles on Old Wu\'s face now?

Would his child not acknowledge him?

In a split second, Zhang Ye started imagining all kinds of scenarios. The next moment, he heard two very familiar voices that nearly made him cry.

A middle-aged woman\'s voice rang out. "Let\'s go and swim."

A middle-aged man\'s voice sounded. "You\'re like lead in water. Why would you want to go swimming for?"

"Zeqing spent so much money to bring us here to Sanya for a vacation. What a waste it would be if we didn\'t go swimming."

"I\'m too lazy to move. I\'ll just lie down here in the yard. Hai, how much longer do you reckon it\'ll be until Little Ye comes home? Why aren\'t we allowed to visit him anymore?"

"The sentence was for six years, so there are still three more years to go."

"It\'s the Lunar New Year again. Don\'t you miss our son?"

The middle-aged woman harrumphed and said, "Don\'t mention him. I\'ve almost forgotten that he exists."

Outside.

Seeing his parents out there in the yard, Zhang Ye was almost unable to control himself. But when he heard those words come from his mother, he couldn\'t help but roll his eyes. He harrumphed and strode over, exclaiming, "Who have you forgotten about?"

When his voice blared, it dumbfounded the couple in the yard!

His father looked over, startled!

His mother turned around in shock!

Zhang Ye gave them a smile. "I\'m back!"

His father stood up at once. "Son!"

His mother also shouted and rushed up to him. "Damn, what are you doing out here, kid? Did you break out of prison?"

Zhang Ye saw red. "Why would I break out of prison!"

His father said excitedly, "So what\'s going on?"

Zhang Ye smiled and said, "I\'ve made contributions to the country and received a sentence reduction."

"So you mean that you\'ve earned an early release?" his mother asked.

Zhang Ye replied, "Yes."

His mother said, "Has the formal paperwork been processed already?"

Zhang Ye rolled his eyes. "Of course."

His father yelled out thrice, "Good, good, good!"

His mother held his hand and did not let go. "Quick, let me take a good look at you. How were you in prison? Did you suffer? Did they make you perform hard labor?"

Zhang Ye said happily, "No."

"You must have suffered. Let me see if you became thinner." His mother pinched his cheeks and squeezed his shoulders, then remarked in a speechless manner, "Hey, why does it seem like you\'ve put on weight instead?"

Zhang Ye said, "The food inside was pretty good."

His mother said, "How did you know that we were here?"

Zhang Ye said, "I naturally have my ways of finding out."

His father said, "Whatever it is, it\'s just good to have you back! It\'s so good to have you back!"

His mother smiled and said, "Zeqing will be so happy. They will return very soon. You haven\'t met your daughter yet, right?"

Zhang Ye said, "I saw her photo right after she got born."

"The girl is very adorable," his father said with a smile.

His mother said happily, "I can only say this: It seems like fortune favors the foolish when it comes to you."

Zhang Ye was also unable to wait any longer.

At this moment, an inflatable beach ball bounced several times and rolled towards the beach that was just beyond the villa\'s yard. Then a little girl around three years old stumbled over to pick up the ball. She looked eagerly at Zhang Ye, who was standing in the yard.

Zhang Ye was stunned!

She\'s so adorable!

She\'s so cute!

Tears nearly rolled down his cheeks. Then he strode over in a hurry and picked the child up. "My daughter, my dear daughter, let Daddy have a good look at you. Did you miss Daddy? Did you? Aiyo, I missed you so much! Come, let Daddy pinch your cute little face."

Someone tugged at him from the side.

Zhang Ye looked up in shock and saw a woman in her 20s standing beside him.

The woman did not know whether to laugh or cry. She said, "Bro, that\'s my child."

Zhang Ye was dumbfounded. "Ah?"

The woman bent down to pick her daughter up and hurriedly carried her away.

Zhang Ye nearly fainted onto the beach.

Behind him, his mother clutched her forehead and said, "Can you embarrass yourself any more than that?"

Zhang Ye said angrily, "Why didn\'t you tell me then?"

His father said, "You rushed over to her before we could even react."

Zhang Ye was a little embarrassed.

At this moment, another little girl came walking over from the beach.

Zhang Ye immediately fixed his eyes on her. "Daughter!"

His mother anxiously pulled him back. "That\'s not her either!"
