Award ceremony

The blue sky is endless and the sunshine today is particularly bright.

A black car slowly stopped outside the venue gate, and a fair-skinned and beautiful woman got out of the car. Her black dress outlined her delicate curves, and her soft black curly hair naturally fell on her slender shoulders. The silver necklace on her collarbone sparkled, her eyes were bright, her nose was upturned, and her lips were pink and shiny. She looked delicate and girlish, like a princess walking out of a dream.

"Yueyue..."

A group of people gathered outside the venue's gate, leaving only a narrow aisle. The screams became louder and louder, without stopping.

Under the protection of several security guards, Yu Yueyue struggled to pass through a separate aisle. She glanced at the crowded crowd and her eyes happened to fall on several identical banners with the two big words "Make a Wish" written on them. The girls holding the banners shouted her name excitedly.

Cars stopped at the entrance of the venue one after another. The stars who came to the award ceremony today arrived one after another. The originally narrow aisle suddenly became more crowded. Yu Yueyue withdrew her gaze from the banner and had to quicken her pace.

After entering the spacious venue, Yu Yueyue turned to look at her agent Xiaoyi, with a look of doubt in her eyes: "Have I missed something recently? Why are all the fans holding the "make a wish" banner?"

"Sister Yueyue, what is a wish? Think about it again." Xiaoyi gave her a wicked smile, then turned around and ran to arrange the things that needed to be dealt with for the award ceremony later.

“…”

Yu Yueyue paused. She felt that the word seemed familiar, but she couldn't remember what it was about.

It seems that her memory is really bad.

"Sister Yueyue, please go to the dressing room first. The makeup artist will come over to help you touch up your makeup later."

An urgent voice brought her back to her senses, and the breathless assistant rushed to her.

"OK."

Yu Yueyue cooperated and went to the dressing room, but as soon as she entered the dressing room, she was inexplicably targeted.

In the dressing room, the air was filled with a strong scent of perfume. Several heavily made-up women were gathered in front of the dressing table chatting. When they heard the movement at the door, they all shifted their gazes, but when they saw who was coming, their faces instantly turned ugly.

"You know what? The Gao family suddenly fell into decline overnight. I ran into Miss Gao a few days ago and saw how haggard she looked. I felt really bad," the woman in the red skirt sighed, her face sad. Then she stretched out her words, "I wonder if the others can feel at peace with themselves?"

"Yes." One of the women spoke.

Yu Yueyue understood their implicit meaning and was used to such sarcasm, so she said nothing and walked directly to the last empty dressing table.

"Why are you pretending?" The sadness on the face of the woman in the red hip skirt disappeared in an instant, and her tone was a little annoyed.

"Let's go, we can't afford to offend you."

As the sneering footsteps suddenly disappeared, the dressing room fell into silence.

Yu Yueyue sat in front of the dressing table, her eyes fell on the mirror. The woman in the mirror was beautiful and charming, no longer as immature as before. She stared at her for a long time, her thoughts gradually drifting back to the past.

…

The sun was shining brightly, the tall green trees were faintly shining, and shadows fell on the hot road.

The sound of footsteps not far away gradually approached.

"That's her. Why are you pretending to be pitiful?"

"It's obvious she did it on purpose. She must be jealous of the school beauty, so she posted on the campus forum to slander the school beauty and bully her."

"But why did Hatsumori-senpai support her under the post? Could it be that what she posted was true..."

"How could it be true? It's obvious that she used some trick to seduce Senior Hatsumori and sow discord between the school beauty and Senior Hatsumori. Who doesn't know how perfect they are for each other?"

"That's right, it's really too bad."

"Luckily we're not in the same class with her."

"Yes, yes."

…

The afternoon sun shone through the gaps between the leaves. A girl was sitting under the tree. Her school uniform was clean and tidy, and her skin was fair. At this moment, she slowly closed the book in her hand, and the light in her eyes dimmed little by little.

From childhood to adulthood, Yu Yueyue has always been a loner in school. She has few friends and is often bullied. She has heard a lot of words like those just now in the past few days.

Will anyone really believe her unconditionally?

Yu Yueyue leaned against the tree, closed her wet eyes, and her consciousness gradually became confused.

Crystal tears rolled down her cheeks, wetting the loose soil.

"Nono, you are finally here."

A cold voice suddenly appeared, with a hint of gnashing teeth, which was frightening to hear, and Yu Yueyue woke up immediately.

The afternoon sun was unusually bright. The tall and straight young man approached her step by step. Somehow, he seemed to pause, and then his tone became colder: "Are you crying because of him?"

Strong sunlight shone on the young man. Yu Yueyue narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze fixed on his outline, but she couldn't see the appearance of his face clearly.

She was full of doubts: "Who?"

Immediately afterwards, Yu Yueyue felt a strong sense of being pulled away from her body. The scene in front of her eyes became increasingly blurred, and the boy's panicked voice gradually became inaudible.

A breeze blew from the bottom of the tree, ruffling the girl's soft black hair. With a snap, the book in her arms fell to the ground.

Yu Yueyue opened her eyes, reached out to pick up the book on the ground, patted the dust off it, then stood up and walked towards the classroom.

It turned out that she had just had a dream, but the dream was somewhat real, and so was the boy.

…

"Sister Yueyue, let me touch up your makeup."

A female makeup artist came over at this time. Yu Yueyue came back to her senses, pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay, thank you."

During her free time of touching up her makeup, Yu Yueyue turned on her phone screen and a Weibo post popped up. She looked at the word "make a wish" and clicked on it curiously, not knowing what new world she had discovered.

All the intimate photos and indescribable words were spread out in front of Yu Yueyue at once.

She actually forgot that "Make a Wish" was the couple name for her and Shang Xu. No wonder it sounded so familiar to her.

Scrolling further, there is a campus article about the two of them, which received many likes and reposts.

"Alright." The female makeup artist paused, then smiled as she packed up her makeup tools. "Sister Yueyue, hurry up, the award ceremony is about to begin."

Yu Yueyue turned off the screen of her mobile phone, curled her lips at the makeup artist, and stood up and walked towards the award ceremony venue.

If she had met Shang Xu during her school days, she would have definitely stayed away from him.

But she still wanted to see the boy's arrogant look.

-

On the award stage, the host was dressed in a black suit and looked elegant. His eyes fell on the small card in his hand and he spoke the award speech in fluent Mandarin.

Below the stage, sat rows of glamorous stars, including talented actors, popular young actresses, rising idols, etc., each of them looking forward to seeing their name appear on today's list of winners.

Yu Yueyue sat in the middle of the crowd, watching the people walking up to the stage to receive their awards. An indescribable emotion surged in her heart, and the light in her eyes brightened a lot.

On the stage, the host, with a smile on his face, announced the next winner: "Ladies and gentlemen, let us now announce the Best Supporting Actress award. With her superb acting skills, she has won the audience's love and changed their impression of her."

"She's Yu Yueyue," the host said, his smile widening. "Next, please invite Ms. Ning Zhili to present the award to our honored guest."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of warm applause.

Upon hearing the news of winning the award, Yu Yueyue was both surprised and delighted. Although it was a supporting role award, it was a great affirmation for her who had just started acting.

Under the gaze of countless people in the audience, Yu Yueyue slowly walked onto the stage.

"Congratulations, Miss Yu." Ning Zhili smiled and handed the trophy in her hand to the woman in front of her.

Yu Yueyue took the trophy and politely replied, "Thank you."

The host glanced at the beautiful woman shining on the stage and said with a smile, "At this moment, Miss Yu Yueyue, do you have anything to say?"

On the spacious stage, a beautiful and cool woman stood before the microphone, her slender hands holding the silver trophy. Bright lights fell on her, her snow-white skin particularly dazzling. She curved her lips and said, "I'm very grateful to everyone who has supported me all this time. I will work harder to improve my acting skills and play more lovable roles to live up to everyone's expectations."

There was another round of applause from the audience.

…

After the award ceremony, the stars left one after another, some went to the lounge, and some went back to catch up on their announcements.

Because there was something very important to do today, Yu Yueyue went straight to the lounge.

The lounge was quiet, she was the only one there.

A cool and gentle voice broke the comfortable silence.

"Yueyue."

Hearing a familiar voice, Yu Yueyue turned and looked outside the door, then her eyes widened slightly and she stood there in a daze.

The man outside the door gradually approached her. He was wearing a neatly-dressed suit, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and a gentle and refined demeanor.

He was exactly the same as the spirited young man in her memory.

The person who brought her milk every morning and held an umbrella for her on rainy days...

But in the end she pushed him away, not wanting him to become as miserable as her.

"Yueyue, long time no see," Chang Chusen looked at her and handed her the flowers. "Congratulations on winning the award today."

Yu Yueyue was stunned and stammered, "Chu Sen...cousin."

"What's wrong?" The man chuckled, his voice still gentle. "You forgot about me, Chang Chusen, so quickly."

Yu Yueyue didn't know why there was a man here who looked exactly like her cousin and had the same name.

Is it a coincidence or is there another arrangement?

"No," Yu Yueyue looked at the familiar face, her nose a little sour, "I just haven't seen you for a long time."

Chang Chusen didn't put down the flowers in his hand. He said with a half-smile, "Silly girl, take it."

"Yes." Yu Yueyue's eyes were glistening with tears as she took the bouquet of flowers with a smile.

The picture is incredibly warm.

It's a bit conspicuous.

Not far from the door, a tall figure appeared and witnessed the whole process coldly.

In his hand, the gorgeous rose wrinkled a little unconsciously.
