Top-tier celebrity's nightly pampering, the abstinent doctor loses control and spoils her.

228. If I don't eat my fill, how will I have the energy to play with you?

The Golden Lion Awards ceremony was ablaze with lights.

Lu Er sat in the second row by the aisle, having changed out of the velvet suit that had been stained with coffee.

Bai Zhi quickly found a spare dress backstage, a classic white Dior suit.

The tailoring is neat, and although it's not as outstanding as the previous outfit, there's nothing wrong with it.

I touched up my makeup again, using foundation to cover the slight redness from the coffee burn.

The stylist quickly redid the hair, removing all the stains.

On stage, the presenter is reading out the list of nominees for Best Actor.

The winner of the 38th Golden Lion Award for Best Actor is—

The award presenter deliberately dragged out his words, building suspense, "Lu Er!"

Applause and cheers instantly filled the entire venue.

Lu Er stood up, a polite smile on her face.

Ye Qingge said, "Congratulations!"

"Thanks."

Lu Er straightened the hem of his suit jacket, walked onto the stage, and accepted the heavy gold trophy from the presenter.

The audience fell silent.

"Thank you to the organizing committee, thank you to the judges. Thank you, Director Guan, for giving me this opportunity."

"This role was a challenge for me, but also a chance for growth. Thank you to the screenwriter for writing such a wonderful script, and thank you to all the actors and staff I worked with."

Lu Er paused, her gaze sweeping across the audience, "And thank you to all my fans who have always supported me."

Applause erupted again.

When she returned to her seat, Bai Zhi's eyes were red with emotion.

This year has been incredibly challenging, but thankfully all the hard work has been worthwhile.

The awards ceremony lasted until 10 p.m.

Lu Er was interviewed by the media for half an hour. By the time she could finally catch her breath, it was almost 11 o'clock.

I ran into Yan Huaijin as soon as I came out of the restroom.

Congratulations, you truly deserve it.

Lu Er dried her hands and smiled, "Thank you, Teacher Yan."

"Don't call me teacher anymore. This old movie star should step down and give way to a more capable person."

"Don't say that. Even a movie star needs time to mature. I still have a lot to learn."

Yan Huaijin looked at the person with a gentle gaze: "These words are a sincere blessing from a friend, and a statement announcing your retirement from the entertainment industry will be released in a few days."

Lu Er was stunned.

"Retiring from the industry?"

"Um."

"So what are you planning to do?" Lu Er asked. "Still in the entertainment industry?"

Yan Huaijin shook his head: "Same as before."

"Before?"

Lu Er was puzzled.

"I once told Song Jingmo,"

Yan Huaijin's voice was calm, "If I were with you, I would be your agent. I would plan your career development, help you reach greater heights and go further."

Lu Er's breath hitched; Song Jingmo had indeed mentioned it to him.

"It's the same now," Yan Huaijin said with a faint smile, "except that the person is now Gu Jinzhou."

Lu Er breathed a sigh of relief: "Gu Jinzhou... only you can handle him."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the bathroom door was suddenly pushed open.

Gu Jinzhou stood at the door, his expression not very good.

She wore a beautiful, exquisite purple velvet suit. However, her gloomy expression ruined the overall aesthetic.

"Yan Huaijin," Gu Jinzhou's voice was clearly displeased, "why didn't you tell me you were leaving for so long?"

Yan Huaijin turned around and said naturally, "I happened to run into Lu Er and we chatted for a bit."

"Does it really take this long to chat for a couple of minutes?"

Gu Jinzhou stood next to Yan Huaijin, but his eyes were fixed on Lu Er. "Lu Er, aren't you busy after winning the award? How come you still have time to chat here?"

That was a sarcastic remark.

Yan Huaijin gently tugged at Gu Jinzhou: "Jinzhou."

"what?"

Gu Jinzhou wanted to shake off the outstretched hand, but couldn't bear to.

She lowered her voice, her face full of grievance, "I've been looking for you for ages, you won't answer your phone or reply to your messages..."

"My phone is on silent."

Yan Huaijin took out his phone and glanced at it. "Sorry."

Gu Jinzhou was sulking, and his eyes were filled with undisguised wariness and hostility as he looked at Lu Er.

Lu Er laughed angrily: "I'll leave now, without disturbing you two."

As soon as she stepped out the door, she heard Gu Jinzhou's displeased voice from inside: "Do you still like him? I saw it all, the way you looked at him..."

"Gu Jinzhou," Yan Huaijin's voice was deep, "Don't talk nonsense."

Lu Er shook her head, took out her phone, and opened Song Jingmo's chat window.

The latest message, posted five minutes ago, reads: "Is it over?"

Lu Er replied, "Just finished, I'm walking out."

Song Jingmo: "Be careful."

Lu Er: "I know, are you asleep?"

Song Jingmo: Not yet.

Lu Er walked out while replying to messages, her head down as she typed, not paying attention to where she was going.

With a "bang," it bumped into the person in front of it.

"sorry."

Lu Er quickly apologized, but was stunned when she looked up: Song Jingmo was standing right in front of her.

"Dr. Song?"

Lu Er blinked, wondering if she was hallucinating from exhaustion. "What are you doing here?"

Song Jingmo raised his hand and lightly flicked the person's forehead.

"I told you not to use your phone while walking," Song Jingmo said with a hint of helplessness. "I've told you so many times, but you just won't listen."

It's not a hallucination.

Song Jingmo really came.

Lu Er glanced at the few people scattered around her, not daring to make any big moves: "Didn't they say the hospital was busy?"

"I saw the trending topics," Song Jingmo's gaze swept across his face, "I was worried, so I came to check on him."

Lu Er then remembered the trending topics for tonight.

Take out your phone and open Weibo.

Of the top ten trending topics, six are related to myself:

#Lu Er wins Golden Lion Award for Best Actor#

#Lu Er gets coffee spilled on the red carpet#

#LuErLovesHisFans#

#Lu Er attends without makeup#

#Lu Er is approachable#

#Lu Er has no idol baggage#

Each one is followed by the word "explosive".

Clicking on the second video, the video of the person being splashed with coffee has been shared millions of times.

The comment section exploded:

"My goodness, Lulu is so brave!"

"That lunatic who spilled coffee!"

"Lu Er is truly amazing to his fans..."

"Wow, she's so daring to go out without makeup! But she still looks great even without makeup..."

As Lu Er looked at these comments, the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.

"I laughed at them for saying I look good even without makeup."

Lu Er looked up, her eyes sparkling. "Dr. Song, what do you think?"

Song Jingmo looked at the person, whose face only had a thin layer of foundation, covering the dark circles under his eyes from staying up all night and the slight redness from being burned by coffee.

Her eyebrows are natural, her eyelashes are long, and her lips are a healthy light pink.

"Yes," Song Jingmo nodded, "It looks good."

Lu Er smiled and leaned closer: "Want to take a look at the spot where the coffee burned you?"

Song Jingmo frowned: "You got burned?"

"A little bit."

Lu Er unbuttoned the top button of her shirt and pulled the collar down a bit. "Here, and the shoulders."

There is a small patch of red skin below the right collarbone, and there is also some on the shoulder.

It wasn't serious, but it was still shocking to see.

Song Jingmo's gaze darkened, and he gently touched the reddened skin with his fingers: "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt."

Lu Er leaned even closer, "None of them are as red as the mark you left."

Song Jingmo's ears turned red, and he turned his face away, coughing lightly.

Lu Er smiled even more happily, buttoned up her clothes again, straightened her clothes, and took Song Jingmo's hand: "Let's go, I'll take you to get some late-night snacks."

Song Jingmo: "There was in-flight food on the plane, and I ate some. I'm not very hungry."

I'm hungry.

Lu Er beckoned to him with her finger, "If you don't eat your fill, how will you have the energy to play with you..."

Song Jingmo: "..."
