Jian Chun followed Jian Zhizhen to the first row.

As soon as he sat down, Jian Chun suddenly felt a burning gaze fixed on him from behind.

He glanced around and quickly spotted Lin Yunfei, who was standing inconspicuously in the corner.

He curled his lips into a smile, turned to Jian Zhizhen and said, "Little sister, I'm going out to get a glass of water."

Jian Zhizhen was being talked to by other celebrities, so she nodded without thinking much of it.

Jian Chun turned and walked towards Lin Yunfei.

Lin Yunfei had indeed been secretly watching him. She really wanted to go over and say something to him, to get closer and see his smile, but she didn't dare.

Seeing him walking towards her, she nervously lowered her head, not daring to meet his gaze.

Soon, Jian Chun walked to her side, bent down, and gently called her name: "Lin Yunfei".

Lin Yunfei's heart skipped a beat, then started racing again.

She had previously thought that she would never have another chance with "Lin Yi".

But when he simply called her name softly, hope suddenly ignited in her heart.

She raised her head and looked at the face she had longed for day and night.

Jian Chun smiled and raised her eyebrows, "You came to see my sister receive an award?"

Even if Lin Yunfei harbored a great deal of hatred towards Jian Zhizhen, she still wanted to show him her best side.

She could only suppress the dull pain in her heart and silently nod: "Yes..."

"Then you'd better open your eyes wide and take a good look." Jian Chun said with a smile, "After all, once you go to jail after the trial, you won't be able to see it anymore."

Faced with the blatant mockery, Lin Yunfei could no longer pretend. Her voice was hoarse as she asked, "You...you hate me that much? All those years of friendship between us, are you really not going to care about anything at all?"

Jian Chun couldn't help but laugh out loud: "When you were stabbing me in my vital spots with every knife, did you ever consider my feelings?"

"I'm not, I..."

Lin Yunfei was anxious to explain, but Jian Chun interrupted her, saying, "Alright, you're still trying to argue. You're really unrepentant."

He couldn't be bothered to talk to such a person anymore; he felt that saying even one more word would taint him with her malice.

He turned and left.

Lin Yunfei watched his retreating figure, subconsciously touching the ring on her finger.

After being deported, the ring could no longer connect to their servers and became useless.

But for some reason, she still couldn't take it off; she would get an electric shock if she tried.

She had no choice but to continue wearing it.

She desperately wanted to show her brother that she truly didn't want him dead; what she couldn't bear to do was forced upon her by this ring.

But he would no longer listen to her.

...

After Jian Chun sat down, Jian Zhizhen leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Is that Lin Yunfei in the back?"

Jian Chun nodded: "Yes."

Jian Zhizhen: "What did you say to her?"

"I'm going to kick someone when they're down." Jian Chun put her hands behind her head and slumped into a chair in a relaxed, sprawling position.

Jian Zhizhen gave him a light kick: "Sit still, there are so many cameras around."

"Oh." Jian Chun had no choice but to obediently sit up.

He paused, then asked in a low voice, "Little sister, are you sure you can win the prize tonight? I've already made my bold predictions."

Jian Zhizhen frowned: "Didn't I already say I wasn't sure either?"

Although she deleted all the negative information about the judges, it's hard to say whether they will believe her or whether Lin Zong has a backup.

Jian Zhizhen, who wasn't nervous at first, is now getting nervous too.

Finally, it was time for the awards ceremony.

The brother and sister stared intently at the big screen.

The awards for Best Actor and Best Actress are all in the final stage.

Viewers watching the live stream are already impatient:

[Can Zhenzhen become the youngest Best Actress in the history of the Golden Dragon Awards? I can't wait!]

Although I'm a fan of Zhenzhen, I still feel it's a bit difficult for her to win this award. While she was one of the leading actresses in the movie and her acting was undeniably talented, this award is usually given to veterans in the industry.

[But logically speaking, the award should have gone to Zhenzhen, because the Golden Dragon Award considers public opinion and box office performance, followed by the judges' selection. Zhenzhen has solid achievements in these areas, and the other female lead in the film already won it last year. This award does not allow one person to win it again within three years.]

Finally, it's time to announce it.

The host was very cheerful and didn't keep anyone in suspense: "Next, we'll reveal the winner of the Golden Dragon Award for Best Actress. This year's Best Actress is—Jian Zhizhen!"

Jian Zhizhen and Jian Chun finally felt relieved.

Amid applause and unwavering attention, Jian Zhizhen walked to the podium.

After the host handed her the trophy, he asked with a smile, "Is it true that Zhenzhen is about to retire from the entertainment industry?"

Jian Zhizhen nodded with a smile, looking at Jian Chun below the stage: "My purpose in entering the entertainment industry was to find my brother. Now that my brother has returned home, it's time to say goodbye to the audience. To the fans who are looking forward to more of my films, I'm sorry, I don't have the energy to do so much work at the same time. In the future, I will..."

Jian Zhizhen paused here, looked up at the live broadcast camera, and said, "My fiancé Qin Yubai and I are both dedicated to scientific research. I will continue to repay everyone's love for me in another way."

Another round of enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience.

...

G Lab.

Qin Yubai, who was watching the live stream, was surrounded by a group of researchers.

Everyone offered their straightforward envy and blessings:

"Ahhh, I'm so happy! We have another powerful team member now! We're sure to make even greater progress at work!"
