Chapter 58

Due to an unexpected incident, the recording of the show had to be temporarily halted, resuming only twenty minutes later.

The audience watching the livestream expressed their understanding, as someone had fallen off a horse and needed to be attended to..

After the program paused, Bryce found himself sitting in Ashley’s arms, panting for breath, his face. flushing with embarrassment.

He thought to himself, ‘Here I am, a grown man, saved by a young girl and sitting in her arms.

“My image!”

Ashley was more disdainful than Bryce. As soon as the horse stopped, she quickly dismounted.

Miranda ran over, panting. “Ashley, are you hurt? That was really scary. I was terrified!”

Ashley felt a warmth in her heart. “I’m fine. Don’t worry.”

Bryce also got off the horse, looking at Ashley with a complex expression. He remembered Laura asking him to look after Ashley on the show. Ironically, it turned out he was the one who needed looking after.

Bryce held a fist to his mouth and coughed lightly, awkwardly saying. “Ashley, thanks for just now. Thank you.”

Ashley’s eyebrows raised in confidence. “If you want to thank me, then how about you do a pole dance for me?”

Bryce was truly speechless.

He thought, ‘Why does she still remember the pole dance!”

However, by now, Bryce really looked at Ashley with newfound respect and admiration.

Miranda looked at them, sensing that Ashley and Bryce seemed to be bickering but appeared to have a good relationship,

As the three of them were talking, a staff member ran over with a phone, saying it was Ashley’s phone, and it was a call for Ashley.

Since mobile phones were not allowed to carry during the recording of the variety show, they were temporarily kept with the staff.

Ashley glanced at the caller ID, raised her eyebrows, and walked aside to answer the call.

When she returned after the call, Bryce asked curiously. “Who called you? You’re being so secretive.”

Ashley casually replied, “A friend of mine.”

Bryce prodded. “What friend? Why so secretive?”

Ashley glanced at him. “Why are you asking so many questions?”

Bryce puffed up his chest in a show of false bravery. “Laura told me to look after you, and I’m just doing what she said.”

Ashley bluntly unmasked him. “You’re just being nosy.”

Miranda couldn’t help but laugh.

Ashley thought about it and felt there was no point in hiding, saying. “It’s my friend who plays the instrument. He heard I was nearby recording a show and wanted to meet me, but I didn’t let him

come.”

Bryce looked her up and down, marveling. “I didn’t expect you to have such clout. What kind of instrument does your friend play, a piano?

Ashley shook her head. “No, a harp.”

Upon hearing it was a harp, Bryce looked towards Shirley, not far away. “Look over there. Shirley’s character isn’t the best, but she’s great at playing the harp. She’s even a student of the harp maestro, Eddy Moore.”

Miranda nodded. “I’ve heard about that too. Shirley is really skilled at the harp and a student of Eddy.

Ashley laughed meaningfully. “Eddy.”

Bryce looked down at her, starting to bicker again. “Your friend plays the harp, too. Can he be taken. as a student by Eddy?”

Ashley retorted leisurely, “Why are you so nosy? Is gossiping your side job?”

Bryce was momentarily stunned.

He thought, “Wait a minute.

When Ashley was on the phone earlier, I vaguely saw the caller ID, and the name seemed to be “Eddy.”

‘Holy cow. It must just be a coincidence, right?”

Soon, the twenty minutes passed, and the recording of the show continued.

The setting moved from outdoors to indoors.

As the livestream resumed, the director’s team immediately updated the viewers on Matthew’s condition. He had rolled off the horse and scraped his arm, but there was no serious injury elsewhere.

Matthew’s fans were relieved.

At the same time, they grew more discontent with Ashley, thinking. Ashley didn’t rush to save our idol immediately. What kind of person is she!

The director team kept apologizing. “We’re really sorry. An unexpected situation occurred during the horse race, and no winner was decided. But no worries. We’re about to start the next segment right away!

“This time, we’re dividing our six guests into two teams. Based on our observations just now, Ashley, Bryce, and Miranda will be on one team, and Matthew, Shirley, and Hayes will be on the other team!

“We assure everyone that this segment will be completely safe and quite elegant!

“Here we are! The task is to play the harp! Each team will nominate one member to play The Land by the famous composer Ash!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the livestream went wild.

[It’s Ash! My favorite composer!]

[I love Ash too! Every piece Ash has written has been a hit! The Land is Ash’s first piece!]

[Is Ash a man or a woman? I really want to see Ash in person!]

The mention of Ash excited the netizens and made Matthew’s fans proud.

[Ash is Matthew’s mentor. We’re proud!]

[Ash only publicly accepted Matthew as a student. We’re even prouder!]

Chapter 58

[I wonder if Matthew has ever seen Ash in person.]

Matthew’s expression softened instantly when he heard they had to play Ash’s The Land, his face filled with admiration and respect.

Ash was his most beloved mentor.

He had practiced every piece by Ash countless times.

He wouldn’t allow anyone to disparage Ash.

After hearing about the segment, Hayes laughed. “Then our team will definitely win. Matthew not only plays the harp but is also Ash’s only student. Who could play better than him?”

Bryce frowned upon hearing this.

He thought, ‘Matthew, this lucky fool, somehow managed to become the famous Ash’s only publicly acknowledged student.

‘Now playing Ash’s The Land, Matthew definitely has a huge advantage.

Shirley glanced at Matthew’s arm. “But Matthew’s arm is injured, which makes it difficult for him to play the harp. Having Matthew compete will be an unfair advantage for our team, which won’t be

fun.

Matthew looked in Ashley’s direction and sneered contemptuously, “I won’t use my mentor’s fame to overpower others. Let’s have Shirley play instead.

Hayes clapped. “Shirley works too. She’s a student of the harp maestro, Eddy. We still have a big chance of winning!”

The director team announced. “Okay, Shirley will represent your team!”

Then, they turned to Ashley’s team. “How about your team?”

Miranda waved her hand. “I don’t play the harp.”

Bryce knew how to play the piano and guitar but not the harp.

He looked at Ashley. “How about you?

Ashley glanced at the harp being brought in by the staff and replied succinctly. “I can.”

Bryce was surprised with widened eyes. “How good are you?”

Ashley replied, “Not bad.”

Bryce felt a bit disheartened, thinking. Is she good or not?

‘Forget it. It’s just a variety show segment. Participation is what matters, not winning or losing.”
