Chapter 58


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


    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 | 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. | 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 aplex 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 rtionship,


    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 nced 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 nced 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 butugh.


    Ashley thought about it and felt there was no point in hiding, saying. “It’s my friend who ys the instrument. He heard | was


    nearby recording a show and wanted to meet me, but | didn’t let him


    come.”

    Chapter 58


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


    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 ying 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.”


    Ashleyughed meaningfully. “Eddy.”


    Bryce looked down at her, starting to bicker again. “Your friend ys 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, | 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 urred 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 bepletely safe and quite elegant!


    “Here we are! The task is to y the harp! Each team will nominate one member to y The Land by the famousposer


    Ash!”


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


    It’s Ash! My favoriteposer!]


    | 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? | really want to see Ash in person!]


    The mention of Ash excited theizens and made Matthew''s fans proud.


    Ash is Matthew''s mentor. We''re proud!]


    (Ash only publicly epted Matthew as a student. We’re even prouder!]


    12:21


    | wonder if Matthew has ever seen Ash in person.]


    Matthew''s expression softened instantly when he heard they had to y 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, Hayesughed. “Then our team will definitely win. Matthew not only ys the harp but is also


    Ash’s only student. Who could y better than him?”


    Bryce frowned upon hearing this.


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


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


    Shirley nced at Matthew’s arm. “But Matthew’s arm is injured, which makes it difficult for him to y 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 y instead.”


    Hayes pped. “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 y the harp.”


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


    He looked at Ashley. “How about you?Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Ashley nced at the harp being brought in by the staff and replied sinctly. “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.”
