533: Chapter 533 Getting Up Early

Lin Chuyan finally posted the Weibo he had been editing for ages.

It was mainly to have a chat with his fans; he couldn't just win an award and say nothing, right?

"Family, it seems I've already won all the music awards, and I've also swept the Best Supporting Actor and Best Actor awards. However, there will always be higher peaks in this world waiting to be climbed. Next, let's pack up and set off again. la la land, launching!"

It seemed arrogant, but in reality, he was just stating the facts... that was what made it so infuriating.

And, with just that short sentence, it sparked all sorts of interpretations from netizens.

Continue climbing? How exactly? You said yourself that you've already won every award you could, so how can you make any further breakthroughs?

Naturally, everyone's eyes focused on the last sentence, "la la land, launching"... Wait, is Yanzi really that confident? He isn't afraid of biting his tongue with such big talk?

"Bro, when will la la land be scheduled? Remember to give us a shout when it is, I'll definitely support it."

"What's up? Are you planning to win Best Director and Best Picture too?"

"Aren't you doing a Hollywood movie? If you're really capable, go win awards abroad."

Lin Chuyan silently liked this comment, then replied to another one congratulating him on winning Best Actor:

"There's another piece of good news tomorrow."

Fans: ??? There's more good news? What exactly is it? Leaving things half-said? Are you a riddle-maker? Damn it!

The crews of the mission and a moment of romance discussed it and decided to have a dinner and drinks together to celebrate. After all, Director Du Qiyu and Lin Chuyan couldn't be in two places at once.

The place for the dinner was chosen by Director Du Qiyu, and everyone enjoyed the meal thoroughly. The only drawback was that Lin Chuyan and Ruan Xingyu didn't touch a drop of alcohol, and they didn't stay long, returning to the hotel to rest quickly.

As for the reason, no one could find fault with it: the two of them had to wake up early the next day to go back to Guangdong Province to register their marriage...

The honor of Best Actor plus marriage registration—this was a double blessing. Everyone in the crew couldn't help but shake their heads: this kid was truly a winner in life.

Back at the hotel, Lin Chuyan and Ruan Xingyu didn't go to sleep early as everyone else had assumed.

What? You say there's no comfort after winning an award? It doesn't matter; a couple wanting to be intimate will find a hundred reasons for it, for instance: this is a special reward for the Best Actor.

That night, the two of them rewarded each other that way several times.

In the end, reason prevailed. Yanzi in his post-coital clarity was firm: "Go to sleep quickly, we have to get up early tomorrow."

Ruan Xingyu rolled her eyes at him: "Why didn't you say that just now?"

Lin Chuyan said righteously: "There wasn't time to say it just now."

Ruan Xingyu: "..."

The Civil Affairs Bureau treated everyone equally; even big stars had to obediently wait in line to register. To avoid attracting too much attention, Lin Chuyan came up with a simple plan: the Civil Affairs Bureau opened at nine, so they would arrive promptly at nine, be the first to finish, and be the first to leave. Besides, it was Monday morning, so under normal circumstances, there wouldn't be too many people.

Although they had to get up early tomorrow, the two of them were lying in bed right now, unable to sleep.

"How do you feel about registering?"

"It feels very magical. Getting married, we're really getting married."

Ruan Xingyu reached out and gently touched her boyfriend: "You're a bit silly."

"Then, let me interview you, how are you feeling?"

"I'm just worried I won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow."

Lin Chuyan instantly thought of something else: "I'm so fierce."

Ruan Xingyu couldn't help but pinch his waist: "...I meant that we're still staying up late! I'm afraid we'll oversleep tomorrow."

Lin Chuyan moved his hand up and pinched her back: "Don't worry, when I was filming a moment of romance here before, Director Du Qiyu required everyone to be on set at six o'clock, and anyone who was late would get a good scolding from him. So back then, I woke up at five every day... I'll set an alarm for six. Although it's not a long trip from here, it's better to get up early and prepare."

"Mm-hmm, let's sleep. I'm just afraid of getting dark circles under my eyes; we have to take photos tomorrow."

They turned off the lights and slept in the dark, holding each other. Lin Chuyan closed his eyes but still couldn't quite fall asleep. Fortunately, the sound of Ruan Xingyu's gradually steady and long breathing reached his ears, and his heart slowly settled down.

She was asleep. This feeling of peace was truly wonderful.

The alarm was set for six, but because he had been keeping this crucial event in mind, for some inexplicable reason, Lin Chuyan woke up on his own at five.

He glanced at Ruan Xingyu beside him; she was still in her dreams, only her sleeping position had changed from them embracing to her facing away from him.

Lin Chuyan naturally didn't plan to sleep anymore either, so he reached out to grab his phone and turn off the alarm, but he didn't expect that a small turning movement would wake her up.

"What time is it..."

Lin Chuyan simply got out of bed, and as he walked down, he asked: "Five o'clock. Did I wake you up? Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

The room was pitch black, and as soon as his feet touched the floor, the floor lights under the bed automatically sensed him and lit up.

"It's not your fault, I woke up on my own. I don't want to sleep anymore; I'm afraid my face will get puffy if I sleep more."

Lin Chuyan walked to the window, pulled open a gap in the curtain with his left hand, and used his right hand to take a picture of the street scene outside with his phone.

The sky outside the hotel was still dark, but the moon was hanging there, and the high-rise buildings facing the hotel were emitting quite a bit of light; presumably, there were some workers working overtime and still busy.

Ruan Xingyu, just waking up, had a bit of a dazed tone in her voice: "What are you doing?"

Lin Chuyan said with some emotion: "Xingxing, the moon hasn't clocked off yet."

Ruan Xingyu laughed softly: "Has it been a long time since you got up this early?"

"Yeah, ever since filming a moment of romance finished, I don't think I've ever gotten up this early again."

In the time it took for the two of them to chat, the moon had dipped a little lower.

Ruan Xingyu's voice came softly from the darkness: "If you treat going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register as a coordinate in life, then, waking up early can also be a part of the sense of ritual."

"You're right."

For some reason, he really wanted to walk over and hug her.

Ruan Xingyu's voice became serious again: "If we ever argue in the future, just think about how you once got up so early just to register our marriage."

Lin Chuyan naturally understood the meaning of these words, but this time he didn't agree.

He suddenly had a strong desire to express himself.

So he posted another Weibo.

"[Since filming a moment of romance ended, this is the first time I've gotten up this early. It's five in the morning in Hong Kong, the moon is still there, big and round. My girlfriend said that if we ever argue in the future, I should think about how I once got up so early just to register our marriage. I thought to myself, how could we ever argue?]"

The attached photo was exactly the one he had just taken of the view outside the window.

At five o'clock, most people were still asleep, and Lin Chuyan's Weibo post received no attention for the time being.

The two got up, finished washing up, and ate breakfast.

Off to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
