137: Chapter 137 Husband and Wife Bowing to Each Other

After receiving the award, Lin Chuyan went back to his seat and sat down, looking very well-behaved.

However, the live comments were already going crazy again.

For no other reason than the fact that he had specifically thanked Ruan Xingyu in his acceptance speech.

Setting aside fans and parents, look at the other people he singled out to thank.

Wu Yue, his manager, who is rumored to be a burly man around 40 years old.

Zheng Hai, his producer, who is also rumored to be a bald man in his 40s.

Everyone can understand these two; it's a working relationship, after all.

But what about Ruan Xingyu? What kind of relationship do you have with her? You just called her the most important person in your life?

Holy crap, does Ruan Xingyu know about this? You kid are being a bit presumptuous!

Is this an official announcement? It isn't, right? It shouldn't be, right? Or is it?

A one-sided confession? It doesn't seem like it either. Their relationship has always been good; they were laughing and talking in the photos taken by the paparazzi, and they have had quite a few collaborations since then. Not to mention that when Lin Chuyan saw her being criticized, he took the initiative to stand up for her.

Could it really be just like his manager and producer, a purely professional relationship?

Look, he even said Ruan Xingyu taught him vocal techniques, so it's just something like a teacher-student relationship, right?

I don't get it, I really don't get it.

You have to know, this is big news. If the Diva is really dating the up-and-coming actor, it's news that could crash Weibo.

But they just said it like that, without explaining anything to you, which is very infuriating.

Look at Ruan Xingyu; she is currently holding concerts everywhere and has even less time to pay attention to reporters and respond to anything.

However, things didn't end there.

The awards ceremony was still ongoing.

Sun Yiyi later won an award too, Most Popular Female Singer of the Year—her popularity has always been high, and she seems to have more male fans than Ruan Xingyu.

Then came the most heavyweight awards, one of which was "Best Female Singer of the Year."

Perhaps because she had just released an album at the end of last year, the organizers actually awarded this prize to Ruan Xingyu!

The problem is, she didn't even come...

What great prestige.

At this moment, the live broadcast camera cut to Sun Yiyi, but the expression on Sun Yiyi's face was quite confused: "I don't know, Xingxing didn't tell me to accept the award on her behalf this time? But it was always me before, so it should be me this time, right?"

Just as she was about to stand up, the camera moved away from her the next second...

Yes, the director suddenly remembered: "Holy crap, I made a mistake. It seems like someone told me yesterday that the person accepting the award on her behalf wasn't Sun Yiyi."

"Quick, quick, quick, aim the camera at Lin Chuyan!"

Then everyone saw Lin Chuyan stand up once again.

That's right, his girlfriend had instructed him to help her accept it if she won.

After all, she had helped him accept one last time. So, it was a very fair and reasonable request, wasn't it?

However, the way everyone at the scene looked at him became increasingly strange...

There were those who were curious, and there were those who couldn't help but stifle their laughter.

It's not like Ruan Xingyu hasn't had others accept awards for her before, but if Sun Yiyi is at the scene, she usually does this job.

You really can't blame the director for this; after all, that's what everyone thought.

And what was the result? She didn't ask her best friend to accept it, but let Lin Chuyan accept it instead?

No, what exactly is your relationship?

Are you really the most important people in each other's lives?

The live comments, which had only just calmed down, started flooding in again.

"What do you say about this? A husband and wife returning home together?"

"Sun Yiyi: Oh no, have I become an outsider?"

"Sun Yiyi's bewildered expression just now cracked me up. Ruan Xingyu didn't even mention this to her!"

"Ruan Xingyu has a good eye; she really knows how to pick a boyfriend."

"Isn't this confirmed proof?! What else would count?! Is there any difference between this and an official announcement!!!"

"You guys are really playing this well. This 'Sound of Nature Festival' is just a massive public display of affection for you two, right?"

"It's just helping to accept an award, right? What's the big deal? You'd think they were married, haha."

"The person above is really stubborn. Anyone can say things like that. Let me try too: Maybe they've already secretly gotten their marriage certificate, haha."

Lin Chuyan's expression was very calm, truly calm—anyway, he and Ruan Xingyu had already discussed and planned exactly how the official announcement should be made, and counting the time, it would be soon.

Accepting awards on her behalf or whatever... he didn't really care about such trivial details anymore.

Engaging in shipping every day was pointless, making it look like he wanted to keep someone hanging... Bullshit, he just wanted to be openly together with Ruan Xingyu, showing affection every day, and screw what anyone else thinks.

Before, he felt his status wasn't high enough, but now his reputation was inexplicably quite good, so what was there to hesitate about?

It's just that when he confessed his feelings, it was at his girlfriend's house. Although it was nothing when feelings were involved, now he wanted to make up for it with a little bit of ceremony.

Hmm, wait a little longer.

Ruan Xingyu's acceptance speech was quite official, with nothing too outstanding.

The only unconventional point was that she also thanked Lin Chuyan.

Lin Chuyan felt a bit embarrassed when his name was read.

"Thank you, Lin Chuyan, thank you for bringing me a lot of strength in both work and life; this kind of strength is something I have never felt before."

A simple sentence, you couldn't say what was wrong with it, but it was just... very wrong.

This sentence was inserted right in the middle of a whole paragraph; if you didn't pay attention, it would be skipped over quickly, but how could it not be noticed?

Originally, everyone thought, oh, maybe you, Lin Chuyan, are just having a one-sided crush, or you want to ride on Ruan Xingyu's coattails, hugging her thigh.

The intention behind it could be seen by anyone with a discerning eye; isn't it just because you saw that Ruan Xingyu was holding concerts and had no time to pay attention to you?

Even when she eventually stood up to respond, you wouldn't lose anything; anyway, the traffic would have already been leeched off by you.

Who knew that Ruan Xingyu's response would come so quickly! Without even waiting overnight! It was only half an hour apart!

"When exactly is the official announcement? They wouldn't wait and post on Weibo together, would they?"

"I can't take it anymore, I can't wait even one more day, hurry up, you two!"

"The Weibo employees must have finished work by now; working people are so miserable, having to come back to work overtime."

"Okay, okay, okay, this is the love I want. Since you have taken one step toward me, then I can also bravely take two steps toward you!"

"You thank me, and I thank you. Ah, I have an idea: why don't you two bow to each other!"

"Bowing to each other as husband and wife, right? [Funny]"

...

Very soon, the trending searches went up again.
