Finally, the applause slowly subsided.
Xiao He blinked, his gaze slowly sweeping over the people below the stage.
At this moment, Ning Jiaqi, who had sat down again, smiled and nodded slightly at him. Hou Rongxuan and Liu Zehang on the other side gave him a thumbs up. The other candidates also slowly withdrew their clapping and listened attentively. There was no resentment or regret on their faces, only the relief of being convinced by Xiao He.
Because she was wearing high heels, Liu Rulan, who was several steps behind Xiao He, also walked out from the internal passage on the side. She stood at the very end of the crowd, in the most inconspicuous position, with her arms crossed, looking at him with a gentle yet proud gaze, and an uncontrollable upward curve to her lips.
Inside the live stream, as soon as Xiao He stood on the stage, the chat exploded with comments. Congratulations and cheers from netizens swept across the screen like a gust of wind, bringing not a storm, but a gentle breeze. The hidden worries and resentments, the deep love and pride, brought tears to the eyes of countless fans in front of their screens.
Xiao He looked at everyone in front of him, finally calmed himself down, adjusted the microphone, held the trophy in his hand, and said: "First of all, I would like to say to my fans who care about me and all my friends here that I am well and everything is fine. I am also very grateful to the organizers for arranging everything so that I can stand here without any burden, on this stage that is of great significance to me, and receive this important award."
"To be honest, a lot of special things happened during the filming of 'No Bait' and its release. It is a great honor for me that 'No Bait' was able to be successfully released, enter the public eye, and be liked by everyone."
“I am very grateful to Director Ning. Director Ning Jiaqi ultimately chose me to play his male lead, Shu Yuxiu. This role is really significant to me. It is no exaggeration to say that before Shu Yuxiu, I was still doubting myself, doubting whether I could play a role well, and doubting whether I could go far on this path…”
That period was also the most confusing time for Xiao He. When he opened his eyes, he even wondered whether he was Shu Yuxiu or the actor Xiao He.
Shu Yuxiu is cold, hypocritical, inhuman, and unscrupulous.
Xiao He, though seemingly warm-hearted, actually has a small circle of friends, few trusted acquaintances, and not much kindness. Before he had the system, he would actively choose to avoid and stay away from many things, and would never take the initiative to help.
Is using his system abilities to help others a genuine act of kindness, or is it because he wants to prove his rebellious spirit and try to fight against the "criminal" life arranged by the system?
What's the difference between him and Shu Yuxiu?
Did he successfully portray Shu Yuxiu, who, due to social injustice, decide to deceive others by any means to climb the social ladder, or did he successfully portray Xiao He, who, since the system's inception, has been suppressing negative emotions and deceiving himself into being kind and friendly?
One day, Xiao He even wondered if the system chose him because he had a kind of indifference to things that didn't concern him, a trait that even a good family upbringing couldn't erase.
Therefore, Xiao He hesitated, struggled, and even remained divided between good and evil.
It wasn't until Li Hanyue's accident that Xiao He suddenly realized that his hesitation wasn't about being a hero or a villain, but rather whether the matter aligned with his own wishes and will.
Why would he deny his current self because of his resonance with a villain? Doesn't his subconscious act of reaching out and saving people without hesitation already represent his true feelings?
Is being an actor what he wants?
Xiao He's thoughts drifted to the fans he had seen on the road, recalling their encouragement and praise, their support and expectations for him, and a slow smile crept onto his lips.
Perhaps, yes.
No one dislikes praise, and no one dislikes being the center of attention. He's just an ordinary person, and he's willing to be the center of attention.
Moreover, his fans are so lovely, and he really enjoys his life now.
