While Yin Chengjue was still hesitating, Rong Yu showed a delighted expression and pulled Yin Chengjue along to walk onto the stage.

Clearly, Eun Seung-jue was happier to receive the recognition he deserved as the author behind "Ghostly Trace" and "Mystery Shadow" than to receive the honor himself.

The big screen then played clips from "Ghost" and "The Mystery," but this time the focus wasn't on the male lead, Rong Yu, but on the main storylines of the two dramas.

At the end of the editing for "Ghostly Trace," the post-production team added a comment that had received the most votes online—

Where can we find the ghost? Look into people's hearts; it's hidden there!

And I ask you, are you seeking a ghost, or your own heart?

Do you want to kill the demon, or do you want to kill the heart?

Similarly, after the clips from "The Mystery" finished playing, a summary online review slowly emerged—

What you perceive as reality is nothing more than an illusion reflected in a mirror. When you gaze into the mirror, the other person is also gazing at you. They are your reflection, and you are their reflection.

The two walked onto the stage amidst thunderous applause. It wasn't noticeable until they stood next to the two hosts that Rong Yu, who usually appeared shorter next to Yin Chengjue, was actually a full head taller than the male host.

Rong Yu was already taller than him, so Yin Chengjue was even taller. The female host standing next to Yin Chengjue looked like a child in comparison...

The two hosts: "..."

Rong Yu smiled warmly: "Hello, Teacher Lin. Hello, Teacher Yu."

The male host, surnamed Lin, quietly moved a little further to the side and said in a sour tone, "I didn't realize Xiaoyu was so tall."

When Rong Yu first entered the entertainment industry a couple of years ago, his actual height was 183cm. However, due to industry unspoken rules, Sally added 3cm to his height (this was to prevent male celebrities who reported the same height as him from appearing shorter when standing next to him). For the sake of on-screen effect, everyone tacitly reported a similar amount of height so that it wouldn't be noticed when they stood together on stage.

Of course, some celebrities don't want to exaggerate their height, but the direct consequence of this is that when celebrities with higher status and who have exaggerated their height appear on the same stage as them, the program might not arrange for them to stand together in favor of the celebrity with higher status.

The camera usually focuses on the big stars. There are many people who want to get screen time around them. It must be so frustrating to be blocked because of a height issue.

Therefore, exaggerating one's height is an open secret within the industry.

Two years ago, Rong Yu's height was 183 cm, but Sally exaggerated it to 186 cm. However, in the past two years, he has been well fed by Yin Chengjue and has been exercising every day, so he has grown another 3 cm. Therefore, his current height is consistent with the reported height, which naturally makes the male host who exaggerated his height look much shorter.

Rong Yu laughed and replied, "Maybe it's because I've grown taller again, plus the shoes... well, you know what I mean." She successfully diffused the awkwardness of the height difference.

The male host, surnamed Lin, looked much better and exclaimed, "Youth is truly wonderful." He then looked at Yin Chengjue and deliberately compared them, saying, "Will President Yin grow any taller? If he grows any taller, that would be excessive!"

Laughter erupted from the audience.

Yin Chengjue remained expressionless: "No need." His height is sufficient.

The male host, surnamed Lin, paused for a moment, suddenly realizing that his question was a bit silly. However, he didn't know what topic to bring up to talk about with Yin Chengjue, so he could only start from this angle and try to warm up the atmosphere.

Fortunately, Rong Yu was there to ease the tension, saying, "Brother Yin's height is just right, I'm very satisfied."

The male host surnamed Lin: "..."

The female host was somewhat puzzled: "What does Mr. Yin's height have to do with you, Xiaoyu?"

Rong Yu smiled mysteriously and put her index finger to her lips: "You all know what I mean."

"Whoa!" A chorus of shouts erupted from the audience.

Yin Chengjue looked at Rong Yu helplessly, wanting to reach out and ruffle his hair, but then remembered that they were on stage and Rong Yu's hair was styled, so he could only try his best to hold back.

As they were talking, someone brought up both trophies and handed them to the two hosts.

The host then got back to the main topic, finished reading his lines, handed the trophy to them, and said congratulations.

Male host: "Would you two like to give your acceptance speeches?"

Yin Chengjue and Rong Yu exchanged a glance. Rong Yu could tell that Yin Chengjue didn't want to say much, so she stepped forward first and formally thanked a group of people before turning to Yin Chengjue: "Finally, the person I want to thank the most is my lover."

After saying that, Rong Yu hooked her fingertip under her neck and pulled out a silver chain with a platinum ring hanging on it.

The scene was magnified on the big screen, which surprised many people. They did not expect Rong Yu to be so audacious.

The media present were extremely excited and kept taking pictures of them!

Yin Chengjue was also surprised that Rong Yu would say this here. After a moment of surprise, he also took out the ring hanging around his neck.

Rong Yu smiled and said, "I am grateful for his encouragement and companionship, which has allowed me to get to where I am today. But I am not satisfied, because I want to continue with him. So, we have decided to get married."

A gasp rippled through the crowd!

Rong Yu actually dared to say that! Does he have no regard for his future?!

Yin Chengjue was also deeply shocked. He looked at Rong Yu and felt that all the sounds and sights around him began to blur. Only Rong Yu remained in front of him, and he could only hear Rong Yu's voice.

Rong Yu walked towards him, took his hand, and gently kissed it.

In that instant, Yin Chengjue felt he could no longer restrain himself. He grabbed Rong Yu's hand and pulled him into his arms, holding him tightly!

After an unknown amount of time, when Yin Chengjue's mind finally cleared and he remembered what occasion and situation he was in, he felt his hearing return. All around him echoed a cacophony of noise, mixed with applause, and the host's efforts to maintain order, "Please be quiet! Please be quiet!"

The media reporters at the scene could hardly contain themselves and wanted to rush up and interview them.

No! They should hurry up and send people outside to ambush these two people as the event ends, so they can get firsthand information!

"Xiaoyu, do you know what you're doing?" Yin Chengjue whispered in Rongyu's ear.

Rong Yu replied calmly, "I know, I'm proposing to you."

Yin Chengjue: "You know that's not what I meant."

Rong Yu: "Well, speaking of which, there's something else I want to say."

Rong Yu then looked down at the audience, raised her hand slightly, and said loudly, "Everyone, please be quiet."

Seeing that he still had something to say, the people in the room gradually fell silent, wanting to see what other surprising things he could say.

Rong Yu: "There is a group of people I feel very sorry for, and that is my fans. Thank you for your support all this time. I said a long time ago that I have a crush on someone. I have liked him since I was very young. Later, I really won him over."

Rong Yu: "I said that I decided to debut because I wanted him to see me, and now I have achieved my goal."

Yin Chengjue exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao Yu!"

Rong Yu: "I don't want to let you down. I always demand the best of myself, but this time, I choose to be with him, through thick and thin."

Rong Yu: "If you are disappointed in me, I can quit. I am able to establish myself in this industry because of you. I have been able to get to where I am today because of your support."

Rong Yu: "So, I'll listen to you."

Rong Yu lowered her head and bowed deeply.

Seeing this, Yin Chengjue smiled helplessly, walked to Rong Yu's side, took the microphone from his hand, and said, "There's no need to be in such a hurry. You just proposed, and you're already rushing to get married."

After saying that, before Rong Yu could react, Yin Chengjue also lowered his head and bowed in the same way as Rong Yu, then helped Rong Yu straight up.

on site:! ! !

Holding the microphone, Yin Chengjue continued, "Keep the remaining two bows for when you go home."

Rong Yu was still a little taken aback and said blankly, "Okay..."

Yin Chengjue added, "We've taken up a lot of time just now, so I'll just say a few words briefly."

Yin Chengjue: "The Mystery of Shadows is not the end of the story, but the beginning. As long as the only male protagonist in my heart is still there, the story will continue."

Yin Chengjue looked at Rong Yu and said, "Perhaps he himself doesn't realize how charming he is when he stands in front of the camera and plays various roles."

"Xiaoyu, if you really quit, that would be the biggest betrayal of them, do you understand?"

A glint of tears welled up in Rong Yu's eyes, but she tried to lift her head, wanting the warm, wet tears that were swirling in her eyes to flow back.

Yin Chengjue handed the microphone back to the host, covered Rong Yu's face, took Rong Yu's hand, and led him off the stage.

That evening, unsurprisingly, it became a trending topic.

Some fans left Rong Yu after watching the Yu Xiang Rou Si (a popular Chinese dish), while others, drawn in by Rong Yu's outspokenness, started following her. However, many more fans who had already accepted their relationship were angrily commenting on Rong Yu's Weibo: "How could we possibly be disappointed in you? You brought the trophy home today! We should be praising you!"

Big Fish Eats Little Fish V: Why do our little fish feel that we can't accept this? Wasn't our previous statement clear enough?

Little Fish Eating Shrimp V: What? You two aren't married yet?! My whole family is shocked!

Shrimp Eats Microorganisms V: I always thought you two were already pregnant, but you're only telling me now that you're not married yet? I'm speechless!

Fishy: ? ? ? What? Little Fish and President Yin aren't married yet? Do you know that on the haters' side, you even have grandchildren? Tagry, you win, V.

ry, you win V: ? ? What haters? I'm not the leader of the haters anymore. I'm a fan of Rong Gou now, thank you. By the way, I'll tag the current leader of the haters for you guys, tag ry and tell him to get out of the entertainment industry.

ry Get out of the entertainment industry: No way, no way, no one actually thinks they're not married? They're just deliberately trying to get attention and generate buzz!

ryYou winV @fish_good ...

Fishy: ...

Rong Yu, who originally thought her comment section would be bombarded with countless curses: ...

Yin Chengjue ruffled Rong Yu's hair: "You have a group of lovely fans."

Rong Yu: "I... I really didn't expect this."

Yin Chengjue: "There are many things you haven't thought of. For example, I'm very happy today, extremely happy, so the consequences will be severe."

Rong Yu looked over in confusion, only to see Yin Chengjue rip off his tie and say, "There's one more bow. Let's save it for when we meet the family. Now..."

"Now?" Rong Yu stared blankly at Yin Chengjue's broad shoulders and narrow waist wrapped in a white shirt, repeating the question.
