coronation of stars

Chapter 52
Qiao Yan blinked, quickly reacted, and couldn't help turning her head to chuckle. Su Ping was not as polite as her, and fanned the air together, as if discussing the weather as if it had nothing to do with her: " I can really smell it when you say that, some people don’t need to dip their dumplings in vinegar during Chinese New Year, right?”

Mu Ting was so angry that they rolled her eyes, and tried to change the topic forcefully, but to no avail. Chu Bing had a very good sense of proportion. She obviously had a good relationship with Mu Ting. Before making any other moves, he turned to Qiao Yan, smiled and held out his hand to her.

"Chu Bing. I met you for the first time, and I have heard about you for a long time. When I saw your movies abroad, I could actually see some deficiencies in skills, but they are so contagious. Charm is a natural thing. Your personal The charm is moving."

Her name and demeanor are a bit cold, but when she really smiles, she is radiant and sassy, ​​like melting ice and snow, and she is so beautiful that she is even a little aggressive. People can't hate it.Qiao Yan smiled, and was not surprised that he pointed out his own shortcomings. He clasped it back gracefully, thought for a while and answered with a smile.

"Thank you, Sister Bing is much more handsome than I imagined."

"Huh?" Chu Bing raised her eyebrows suspiciously, and looked at her with interest.

"The movement of walking." Qiao Yan took two steps forward to imitate, "This is not a dress, it is clearly a battle robe."

Qiao Yan came to the awards ceremony today, and she chose a lake blue dress with layers of gentle skirts, showing elegance when walking in style, but now she walked a few steps and turned half a circle, unexpectedly also found Showing some neat aesthetic feeling, Chu Bing's brows and eyes stretched, and when he looked at Qiao Yan, he really brought a little happiness.

"Oh, I can really talk, I like it." She said briskly, took Qiao Yan's hand and walked towards the elevator, "It's rare to have a confidant in life, why don't we walk together on the red carpet today?"

Qiao Yan was in a cold sweat, and gently reminded: "Actually, I also nominated the Best Actress today..." Walking with the award presenter, it's a good thing that I lost in the end. If it is selected, it will definitely become the best in the media. Gossip material, right?

"So what?" Chu Bing didn't take it seriously, and smiled calmly, "If you are not as skilled as others, you should go back and continue to practice honestly. You will always toss about some messy things. If you do too much, it will arouse public resentment sooner or later. Well, next time is fine, there will always be such a day."

The media's drafts are also biased. Whatever the media releases, there will naturally be some mastermind behind it.Qiao Yan turned her head to look at Chu Bing, shook her head, and laughed.

"I seem to know why Qin Fei is so afraid of you."

"Because I can always recall the underdog, the failed self?" Chu Bing chuckled, and Su Ping pressed the floor number shared by the four of them, and the elevator door closed, hiding Chu Bing's eyebrows little by little. The clouds in the room are calm and breezy.

"It doesn't matter if you are the protagonist of the world, but if you think that others are your supporting roles, then there is no cure."

They spent a lot of time downstairs, and after sitting in the lounge for a long time, it was time to walk the red carpet.This time, Qiao Yan followed the "Chivalrous Daughter" crew at the bottom of the stage. She and Yang Shuo had already been torn apart, and now she didn't bother to maintain the superficial intimacy. She took Xu Zhen's arm and walked onto the stage where the spotlights were shining. Yang Shuo and Shen Jiasheng walked behind together side by side.

When Mu Ting walked the red carpet, he didn't bring a female companion. Fortunately, he had enough seats. He and Fengchen's musical genius Liu Xiao were both the creators of the theme songs for film and television dramas, so walking the red carpet together didn't look too abrupt.In the end, Su Ping and Chu Bing walked the red carpet side by side, and the spotlights flashed behind them. One of the two smiled like a spring breeze, and the other was calm and indifferent. There was no sign of anything special.

This year's Pearl and Jade Awards are still full of bright stars and lively.When Qiao Yan finally took his seat at the venue, he found Wei Ze in formal attire diagonally in front of him. The two exchanged a few words with great interest. After blessing each other, this year's awards show also followed the host's lively interlude ,Officially begin.

As time went by, awards were revealed one by one.This year's Pearl and Jade Awards did not have too many upsets. The best supporting actress was successfully won by Shen Jiasheng, and Li Shana, who had lost the competition for two consecutive years, did not even give a few official shots this time.

The Best Actor was won by Wei Ze without any suspense. Others' performances in "The End of the World" may have been criticized, but Wei Ze's performance was really put there, and even won the approval of most fans of the original book. .

At the moment when the award results were announced, Qiao Yan smiled and applauded vigorously like everyone else present, and even stood up and hugged Wei Ze—they had a good personal relationship and it was something that the media didn’t know much about. .

And after many awards have been settled, the biggest highlight of this year's Pearl and Jade Awards, the presentation of the Best Actress, finally arrived as scheduled amidst the eager anticipation of countless netizens and live artists.

During the host's introduction, Chu Bing walked onto the stage holding her skirt.She smiled and greeted everyone in the audience, without much nonsense, and neatly opened the folded red envelope.

The big screen was divided into five parts, clearly showing the facial expressions of the five candidates at this time.Qiao Yan held her breath and stared fixedly at the small piece of herself on the screen.

He looked almost stiff with tension.She commented frankly in her heart, but she couldn't get a dimpled smile on her face no matter what.She didn't even have the energy to take into account Qin Fei's expression, she just looked at the big screen without blinking, listening to Chu Bing on the stage pronounce the final result clearly.

"The winner of this year's Jewelry Award for Best Actress is—"

""The Chivalrous Daughter", Qiao Yan."

At that moment, the spotlight was all focused on her. Qiao Yan recalled it later, but she couldn't remember it clearly.

She stood up subconsciously, not knowing what to do. The people beside her stood up and hugged her. She subconsciously returned her arms, and was surrounded by the dazzling stage.

Both Luo Ming and Shu Li were in the audience. When she looked over, Luo Ming looked at her deeply, his eyes were full of emotions and complicated, but calm and composed like Shu Li, his eyes were already teary.

They have witnessed the whole process of Qiao Yan's growth from an ignorant newcomer to the current first sister of Kaixing. They have discovered, trusted, and cultivated. They have witnessed Qiao Yan's efforts on this road, and they have also given what they can. Everything that was given to Qiao Yan finally accompanied her to this place.

Xu Zhen's attitude was much calmer. "Chivalrous Daughter" won the most popular TV drama award at this year's Pearl and Jade Awards. Just now the crew had celebrated once, and now the whole crew sat together and showed her Big smiley face.Xu Zhen sat in the middle, but he didn't maintain his usual serious expression. Looking at her, he also showed a gentle smile.

They have witnessed Qiao Yan being called NG by Xu Zhen countless times in this crew, struggled together with her in the high-pressure state of rushing to play in the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, and had the friendship of squatting in the corner together in a row to reflect, and hugged when the film was finished. Tears flowed in one place.I also witnessed the deliberate smear incident suddenly encountered by Qiao Yan at the end of the TV series, and the entire crew was also under great pressure at that time. Until now, the rain has finally passed, and the causes planted by everyone have ushered in the best results. .

And Mu Ting sat in the first row, smiling and applauding, looking deeply at her with undisguised enthusiasm in his eyes.

He witnessed Qiao Yan's embarrassment when he was cut from half of the scene, and he extended a helping hand when Qiao Yan had nothing to break through.He led her to stand on the stage where fans gathered, and once shared a warm and simple New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve.Qiao Yan's memory is not bad, many things don't need to be mentioned deliberately, and they are always engraved in the bottom of my heart.

For example, he once said "don't come out" to her when he pushed her away from the camera when the crew visited the set, for example, the phrase "do I count?" The phrase "I like her" uttered during the siege is like the phrase "don't let go" that she once said when she was walking on the narrow mountain road with her on the misty morning in that mountain village.

He is the noble person she met when she first embarked on this road, and also her friend who shares the same interests and appreciates each other.It was the person who watched her fall into a deep sleep in the hospital late at night, and the only hesitant look she was willing to cast for her when she was wronged and hard to bear.And now, she is about to embark on the highest, brand-new, apex she has dreamed of so far——

And he was in the audience, smiling and making the best testimony for this.

She suddenly calmed down.

"Thank you." She walked onto the stage steadily, received the flowers and the trophy, her eyebrows were gentle and bright under the bright lights, she turned to the live TV camera, and waved her trophy with a smile.

"Thank you everyone, it is my honor to receive this award." Her voice was soft and clear throughout the venue, and everyone fell silent, listening with smiles.

"I am able to stand here today, I really have to thank many people." The newly promoted Zhuyu said after watching, her eyes flicked from the people she knew well in the audience, and she said the names of thanks one by one fluently.

"Thank you Kaixing, thank sister Ming Geli for her cultivation, thank Director Xu, and my compatriots on the crew of "Chivalrous Girl". I thank my fans and fans for their support. It is because of you that Qiao Yan is today—"

She lowered her eyelashes and whispered softly into the microphone. "Thanks to those who have been gentle, firm, and accompanied me from the beginning to the end."

After the Pearl and Jade Awards ceremony, the judging team officially held a reception.The location is on a certain floor of the hotel where the artists stay, and those who feel overwhelmed can go back and rest at any time.

As the winner of the biggest award tonight, Qiao Yan was naturally the focus of the siege.It was inconvenient for Mu Ting to get too close to her at such a time when there were so many people talking, so when he didn't pay attention, he found that Qiao Yan had disappeared.

He called and found Qiao Yan after following the location, but he saw that he was leaning against the viewing balcony on a certain floor of the hotel, with a laptop on the table, concentrating on watching.Now most of the people are still in the reception on a certain floor downstairs, but she actually found a clean place here.

After finding her, Mu Ting breathed a sigh of relief, walked towards her, and sat down beside her: "What are you looking at? So engrossed."

"Look at my previous filming highlights." Qiao Yan looked up and saw that it was Mu Ting, and moved the computer screen to his side generously, but Mu Ting saw her bare arms for the first time, and realized that she was still wearing an award. When I was wearing an evening dress, I suddenly felt a frown.

"It's cold and you run out without any clothes on, do you want to freeze to death?" He reprimanded in a low voice, while taking off his suit jacket and putting it on Qiao Yan.Qiao Yan gathered the warm coat, smiled and poked his arm.

"Look quickly, my black history collection."

Mu Ting lowered his head to look at the computer screen, and when he saw the picture on the screen, he paused for a moment, but smiled: "Hey, isn't this the miserable little sister you played, the one starring Gu Zhaoming, oh Qin Fei actually appeared on the screen It’s so annoying, whoever edited the video can’t cut it cleanly—oh well, you look good in this uniform, I really should try it in the same type of drama in the future, it will definitely be better than the previous performance much better."

"Have you seen it all?" Qiao Yan listened to Mu Ting's complaints for a while, frowned in confusion, and looked up at him.

"I've seen it. You haven't played many side roles before. I'll look through them when I have time." Mu Ting nodded, not understanding the meaning of Qiao Yan's question, "What's wrong?"

"You care so much about me." Qiao Yan blinked and smiled at him with crooked eyebrows.Mu Ting came to his senses, coughed lightly unconsciously, looked away and back again.

"Otherwise, you think I'm just teasing you when I say I like you." He said sullenly, but after thinking about it, he couldn't get angry, and raised his hand to pinch her face lightly, "I don't really know how to chase someone. What to do, you are a busy person, and you are getting more and more popular, and when you record a show together, someone analyzes it every day, and when you really don’t know what to do, I will find some of your previous plays to watch.”

He thought for a while, and commented pertinently: "Some are not bad, some are too stupid."

Qiao Yan laughed, puffed up her face slightly, and shook her head to avoid Mu Ting's hand: "I'm also growing up, I can't look at people with old eyes... but Mu Ting." She rested her chin and looked at him without blinking. , "Why on earth do you like me?"

"...how do I know." Mu Ting replied dryly. Looking carefully at Qiao Yan's expression, he found that although the latter was quite lucid, he obviously drank a lot of unstoppable wine tonight. There was a slight blush on his face that he didn't know whether it was cold or drunk, his eyes were foggy, and he looked at him with wet eyes, and his heart softened.

"I just fell in love with it that much. I can't tell you clearly, but if you look at it horizontally and vertically, I like it no matter what, so I will admit it." Mu Ting sighed, looked at Qiao Yan, and was also a little dazed, "I always love you for you." If you tell me what I did two years ago, I will definitely be called a fool by myself, and I can’t believe that I have such a fool.”

"How do you say?" Qiao Yan asked him with a smile.

"It's... almost the same as when I was in college, seeing a buddy carrying a guitar and going downstairs to the girls' dormitory to sing love songs." Mu Ting thought for a while and said slowly, "At that time, I thought music was a very sacred thing. Domain, being used to chase girls is simply insulting, and I also disdain people who do it in my heart."

"But after I met you, I felt that the girl I like is so hard to guess, what she likes and what she wants, is too erratic, and I can't figure it out at all. Slowly I will think, eh, if I really hold the guitar Go downstairs and sing, will you really like it?"

"So-so, I also think it's a bit silly to do that." Qiao Yan said with a smile on her cheek, "But the girl you like likes all the stupid things you do for her."

"Sometimes I think it's a miraculous thing. I don't have any beliefs, but I still met you somewhere." Qiao Yan blinked her eyes in confusion, and slowly shook her head, "I never thought of that before. In the future, I will be involved with someone like you, arrogant, tempered, arrogant, and a bit sharp and indifferent..."

"Hey..." Mu Ting didn't feel right when she heard it, and tried to interrupt her, but Qiao Yan stretched out a finger and tapped it on her lips, she suddenly lost her voice, and looked down at the finger on her lips , slowly raised his head to look at Qiao Yan's face.

"So?" He moved his lips and asked Qiao Yan's finger, breathing gently on it.Qiao Yan flinched, but did not move her fingers away.

"I found that you really don't have much experience in chasing girls. Is this the time to ask why? You usually look so smart, but why are you so stupid at this time?" Qiao Yan narrowed her eyes and smiled like a The feather fell softly on Mu Ting's heart, "But I like being stupid like this, I hope you will keep it..."

"And I will cherish it." She sighed and leaned closer to Mu Ting. The distance between the two was close at hand, and they breathed each other.

"Do you want to say something to me?" Qiao Yan asked softly.

Mu Ting lowered his eyes, and the lips under his fingers slowly raised a firm arc.

"I love you."

"What a coincidence, me too."

Qiao Yan smiled, took away her fingers, and leaned over gently.

When she lowered her eyelashes, she couldn't see Mu Ting's eyes, but could only see his clean chin with a faint blue color, and a long, white finger on the sharp-edged lips.

The color of his lips was not so bright, but they were soft to the touch. His fingertips stayed on them for a while, and were warmly wrapped by his silent breath.Qiao Yan blinked slowly, and subconsciously rubbed his lips with her fingers, in return for Mu Ting's chuckle, her lips were on her fingertips as if touching water, and the hot temperature But it lingers on the fingertips for a long time, lingering.

The dim yellow light in the corridor warmly shines into the small balcony, dispelling the cold black color of the winter night.Their shallow breathing distilled into a little misty water vapor, soaking people's eyebrows and eyes with moisture.Qiao Yan slowly withdrew her fingers, the corners of her eyes were still slightly red from alcohol, and she looked up at him with wet eyes, a little shy and brave in her eyes.
