After the Golden Dragon Awards ceremony, Wang Ming returned backstage, and Shen Ying, unable to contain her excitement, ran over and hugged him tightly.
Winning 12 Golden Dragon Awards in a row is the biggest honor of the night.
Although the only award he was associated with was the Best New Director award, while the other awards went to Qitian Animation, he still stole the show tonight, with the spotlight shining on him more than ten times, making him the center of attention.
From this moment forward, he is one of the best animation directors of the younger generation.
"I told you you could do it!" Shen Ying's voice trembled slightly with excitement.
When she was watching the live broadcast backstage, she was so happy that she shouted and jumped for joy every time the host called Wang Ming's name, even more so than when she went on stage to receive the award herself.
"Hehehe, how can I not keep my promise?"
After they parted, he handed her his personal trophy, saying, "Ying, this is for you."
"Huh?"
Wang Ming blinked: "The betrothal gifts, you mentioned it yourself last year. Now that you've accepted them, it means you're going to marry me, right?"
Shen Ying blushed and nodded shyly, "I'll marry you, I'll marry you! My silly boy is so outstanding, only a fool wouldn't marry him~"
"Then I'll go back with you this year and propose to your father!"
"Mmm..."
What if my father-in-law doesn't approve of me as his son-in-law?
“I’ll elope with you,” Shen Ying said with a smile.
"That won't do. A marriage without the blessing of parents will not be happy."
Wang Ming squeezed Shen Ying's small hand and laughed, "Don't worry, I can definitely handle it!"
Back at the hotel, he received a congratulatory call from Jiang Xia. The two brothers chatted for a while about the awards ceremony that evening, and Jiang Xia gave him and Shen Ying two more days off.
The two of them had finally managed to go on a business trip, so as the brother, he had to do his part to provide the assist. As for whether Lao Wang could score, that would depend on his own ability.
A little while later, Shen Ying came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, her cheeks flushed with an alluring rosy glow from the moisture.
She dried her wet hair with a towel, blushing, and said, "Silly boy, go take a shower."
His gaze shifted to her, and Wang Ming swallowed his slightly dry lips. They had been living under the same roof for quite some time, so why did the atmosphere feel a little different tonight?
Could it be because Mom isn't here?
He took clean clothes out of the box and went into the bathroom. A moment later, there was a knock on the glass door.
Wang Ming opened the door a crack: "What's wrong, Ying?"
"Idiot, give me your dirty clothes, I'll wash them too." Shen Ying's slightly shy voice came from outside the door.
"Hmm, no need, I can just scrub it when I take a shower."
"Just focus on taking a shower. I'll wash your clothes. I've seen them all before at home, what are you being shy about?"
Little did they know, the girl who had accused others of being shy was now blushing furiously.
Wang Ming felt slightly embarrassed. Home is home, and now is now. Moreover, ever since he started elementary school, he has always washed his own underwear, and his mother has never even touched it. Now, Shen Ying is saying that she wants to wash his underwear for him, which feels very strange.
Could something really good happen tonight?
After a few seconds of internal struggle, he slowly stretched out an arm and handed over the clothes he had changed out of, with his underwear still inside.
"Thank...thank you."
"You're welcome……"
The girl's shy voice was drowned out by the sound of the rinsing water. Shen Ying unfolded the white shirt that was wrapped in a ball, picked up the boxer shorts that still had a warm smell, and her face turned as red as fire.
It was the first time she had ever washed clothes for a boy, and even though he was her sweetheart, her heart was beating inexplicably fast.
She took a deep breath and slowly lathered the lingerie soap on it.
A dozen minutes later, Wang Ming came out of the bathroom, still damp from the steam. He saw his underwear hanging on a clothes rack, while Shen Ying had dried her hair and was lying on the bed with her back to him.
It seems she's already asleep.
Old Wang took a few gentle breaths, turned off the light, climbed onto the bed from the other side, and felt his heart pounding more violently than ever before.
A large bed, two pillows, and a quilt. He and Shen Ying each slept on one side, leaving a gap in the middle that could still accommodate another person.
However, strictly speaking, this was probably the first time they had ever booked a hotel room together.
Wang Ming turned his head and looked at Shen Ying's slightly blurry outline in the darkness in front of him. He hesitated, wondering whether he should be bold enough to squeeze in and hug her from behind. Even if he did nothing, he would be content as long as he could hold her while she slept.
Just as he was lost in thought, a soft, shy voice slowly rang out.
"Silly boy, I can't sleep, do you want to hug me?"
Wang Ming was stunned. The air conditioner was on in the room, but his clenched palms suddenly started sweating. He swallowed his dry throat and didn't say anything, but his body was very obedient, slowly groping over.
Under the covers, he raised his hand with slight trembling and slowly touched her back. Shen Ying's body stiffened reflexively, she bit her lip, and her breathing became slightly shaky.
Old Wang breathed a sigh of relief for no apparent reason; thankfully, he was still dressed.
He moved little by little, his arms slowly sliding down from her waist to encircle her slender waist, which could be grasped in one hand.
Then, Old Wang stopped moving completely and just held on obediently, with a gap of about a hand's width between them.
"call……"
The air was filled with the pleasant scent of shampoo wafting from her thick hair. No wonder guys always fantasize about sleeping in their girlfriends' arms; it feels so good.
