Chapter 82 Rolling his eyes "He Yan, long time no see."...
He Yan felt dizzy for a moment, as if the world was playing a huge joke on him.
One of his hands was sweating, and he placed his hand under the table. The cold silver ring that touched his right wrist suddenly became hot.
The first second that person appeared in everyone's sight, the whole audience burst into loud cheers.
It seemed that only He Yan stopped breathing and forgot to blink, but he did not forget to lower his eyes to block the white light from his sight.
The host's words were like a verdict, indicating that this was a real moment.
"Let us welcome...Mr. Zhu Shengting!"
"Oh my god, Brother Yan is actually Zhu Shengting. He just won the Huatong Award last night, and he actually came to this dinner. He is a real big shot. I wonder when I can work with him..." Tong Muqian was talking to himself, clapping and sighing.
The other people at the table looked at each other after the lights came on, not even whispering, but observing He Yan's expression.
Almost everyone present knew that He Yan had an unspeakable conflict with Zhu Shengting before. Tong Muqian debuted late and didn't know much about it, so he became the boldest and most unscrupulous person at the table.
When he said this to He Yan, it was enough to make everyone else gasp and their arms go numb.
He Yan loosened his clenched fist and wiped his hands with the wet towel on the plate in front of him under everyone's inquiring gaze. The corners of his mouth curled up in a flawless arc, "He is indeed a big shot."
The people at the same table breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, but at the same time their curiosity was rekindled. Unfortunately, they couldn't ask more questions. Some people were afraid that Tong Muqian would continue to talk about this topic, so they started to change the subject.
He Yan looked at the goblet in front of him for a while, then drank the little red wine in it.
When he raised his head slightly while drinking, he saw Zhu Shengting coming down from the stage and sitting at the first round table on the left side of the first row.
He Yan's tense back trembled slightly, and the bitterness left by his lips and tongue brought him back to his senses.
Ever since Zhu Shengting released his first film as a director, he anticipated that they would meet again one day in the future.
Perhaps in any occasion, something unexpected like today's is not something we have not imagined, but we just felt it was unnecessary at the time, and now it is still unnecessary.
When Zhu Shengting looked at everyone in the audience, his expression was calm but full of energy. As a rising star in the director world, he had the best honors, which were enough to give him the confidence to stand in the center of the stage.
Zhu Shengting was able to remain calm even though he foresaw the reunion, and He Yan had always had a clear conscience about that relationship. After having loved and hated passionately, he only needed to face everything openly, without having too strong love and hate that would waste his energy.
Thinking of this, He Yan slowly relaxed his body. He poured a glass of warm water, took a sip, swallowed it, and rinsed his mouth.
NEW's China director was very pleased to have Zhu Shengting join as a new brand friend. He took Zhu Shengting to each table to introduce and toast, turning this event into a real exchange dinner.
By the time it was time to sit at He Yan's table, everyone was ready to stand up, including He Yan.
The director came over cheerfully, holding up a goblet. "Good evening, everyone! It's been a while. Director Zhu is now our brand friend."
Zhu Shengting raised his glass slightly and circled it in front of him. "It's an honor to meet you all."
Tong Muqian spoke first, warming up the atmosphere. "Director Zhu, I love your film 'Parasitic Drive' so much! I didn't expect you to come today! Congratulations on winning the award last night."
"Thank you." Zhu Shengting was always well-dressed and very polite.
It was the way He Yan remembered that the other party was always very good at dealing with others.
The director smiled and patted Zhu Shengting on the shoulder, then asked the cliché question he always asked every table he passed, "Director Zhu, the previous tables are all new friends, so are there any old friends at this table?"
The air was strangely stagnant for a moment. He Yan, who had been holding the wine glass quietly without saying a word, lowered his eyes.
Zhu Shengting's words passed by his ears, "Mr. Zhang, we are all old friends."
He Yan raised his eyes. In fact, he was very close to Zhu Shengting, only about a body length away. He could smell the unfamiliar and strong perfume on Zhu Shengting.
It was not the faint cold fragrance from before, but smelled like women's perfume. He found it pungent and unpleasant.
"Really?" He Yan blurted out in a cold voice, his clear voice like a splash of cold water, mercilessly splashing around.
But he wasn't finished yet. After he finished speaking, he sneered very purposefully and rolled his eyes at Zhu Shengting so that everyone could see it clearly.
Now even Tong Muqian, who had been active just now, fell silent, not knowing what expression to make. He had never seen the gentle and polite He Yan like this... It was as if he had a grudge against Zhu Shengting!
Director Zhang looked at He Yan thoughtfully, then tilted his head to look at Zhu Shengting, whose expression remained unchanged, and smoothed things over. "Old friends greet new friends the same way. Have a good night, everyone. Let's cooperate more if there's a chance."
After saying that, he walked around to He Yan and patted him on the shoulder gently as a comfort. He Yan smiled gently at Director Zhang.
Zhu Shengting raised his glass again and drank the little red wine left in the glass. Finally, he passed by He Yan without staying for a moment.
The internet was in an uproar because of Zhu Shengting's sudden appearance.
Especially when a fan took photos and videos of He Yan and Zhu Shengting toasting together, the popularity directly dominated the individual squares of both parties.
#HeyanzhushengtingNEW dinner toasting together, the hot search immediately exploded.

[Title: I stared wide-eyed in disbelief, this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime series… Zhu Shengting and He Yan are actually in the same frame [horrified]]
Holy shit everyone, go check out the top trending search…
[1L: Damn, is this the value of the former American emperor in the domestic entertainment industry? They were in the same frame and it immediately became a trending search. I was trembling with fear.]
[2L: WTF, that video of the CP fangirl… It’s so scary, they’re actually standing together drinking?! It seems like my fantasy before I got poisoned by the meal.]
[3L: Who understands? Who hasn't tried Shengyan when they were young? Is this a throwback to my youth? I'm really dizzy.]
[4L: Fuck me! Seven years have passed, and Sister Yan is prettier and Brother Ting is more handsome. They've both accumulated more honors and become more mature and have that kind of personality. When they stand together, my first reaction is still to see them do it! I'm hopeless!]
[5L: Who dares to watch that video? Sister Yan stood there with a cold face, not knowing what they said. The next second, he rolled his eyes at Brother Ting. Hahahaha]
[6L: Sister Yan: No matter what award you've won as a famous director, I'm still going to roll my eyes at you in public.]
[7L: Zhu Shengting... Can you tell me what you were thinking when you smiled so brightly?]
[8L: Don't make me laugh so hard. After all these years, Sister Yan, your sharp temper is still the same as always, directed at one person... How can this not be considered unique and special? From the beginning to now... it's still the only one.]
[9L: Can anyone tell me what happened between them? Just seeing them now, I don't believe they're not over the top. It smells like a scene from an ex-girlfriend meeting.]
[10L: The other artists at that table really made me laugh to death. The way they were eating melons and not daring to speak was so exciting. I really want to join them!]
[11L: So why did Zhu Shengting suddenly come back? I think his fans were also surprised and didn't know about this. He was still receiving an award in Hong Kong last night.]
[12L: Can Ting's brother-in-law return to the mainland to develop his career and occasionally travel abroad... My heart has been dead for eight hundred years, but today I suddenly felt my drug-addled soul burning... I will die with regret if I can't see you two loving each other.]
[13L: This feeling of hatred right now is giving me a brain orgasm... I'm going to go beg for food on the super topic.]
[14L: Oh my god, I'm going to Shengyan to criticize them for doing sit-ups again. The CP super topic has reached the top again. You guys who are eager to be slapped by Shengyan are hopeless!]
[15L: I'm not trying to pour cold water on them, but objectively speaking, their relationship is really bad now, it seems to be worse than seven years ago... Is it really possible for them to appear in the same frame again?]
[16L: Light up a cigarette. Maybe it's because the seven years of summoning souls after watching the feast were too hard, so I want to have a last hurrah.]
[17L: Let's eat the candy today... What flavor of candy would it be? I'm really not picky about what I can eat. How can we pick on this CP we haven't seen together in seven years?]
[18L: Sorry, I haven't seen this couple before. Do you have any tutorials to help me catch up? I'm really interested!]
[19L: Please click on this link, it contains all my collection of sweet posts. Just search for "Feast" on Station B and click the one with the highest number of views.]
[20L: What's the point of joining the trap now... You guys from Shengyanxi stop hurting people!]
【……】
[472L: Damn, you guys have to check out the trending topics on Weibo right now. Don't miss this joke. Tingsi Yansi, don't make me burst out laughing. They're in such a hot and humid place.]
Weibo Square.
——[This guy who rolls his eyes is still like this after seven years. I say, rolling your eyes in public is really rude. Even so, there are still some people who are still talking nonsense. Their brains must be damaged. You are a bunch of idiots who are eating up your blood sugar. Get out of here. You are just relying on my husband’s good temper.]
——[Why don’t you kneel down and accept the eye roll from my daughter? Next time, I’ll give you a slap. I support my daughter and let her roll her eyes whenever she wants, and at whoever she wants.]
——[Who wouldn't say Zhu Shengting is pitiful after seeing this? He backstabbed someone on Weibo seven years ago and still gets rolled eyes seven years later. Luckily, I worked hard on myself. Now I have everything I want. Some people are like, "You're a woman, you're a woman, are you a woman? Just a woman."]
——[Don't some fans swear they look down on the nobility of the Chinese entertainment industry? Why are the real fans so excited to return to the Chinese entertainment industry? Doesn't it feel good to be backstabbed by your real fans?]
[679L: Tingsi and Yansi seem so young. Watching them fight makes me feel a few years younger. I'm satisfied.]

The dinner had not yet ended, and He Yan had unknowingly finished his fourth glass of red wine. Feeling the atmosphere was depressing, he said "Excuse me" to the people around him and stood up from the round table.
People were staring at him and whispering all the way, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he walked into the private lounge at the end of the backstage corridor.
Huang Min, who had been staring at Weibo to see what was going on, stood up abruptly when she saw He Yan coming over. Her expression wasn't looking good either. She observed He Yan and hesitated before speaking, "Brother Yan...are you leaving early?"
He Yan unbuttoned a button on his suit, neatly removed the silver ring on his right wrist, sat down and drank a sip of water. "It's okay, I'll see how things go later. I want to rest by myself for a while."
Huang Min didn't dare to say much. She could see that He Yan's mood was not very good, even a little bad.
"Xiao Min, you should go to the hotel room prepared by the organizer to have some rest first. You have worked hard." He Yan did not make things difficult for Huang Min.
Huang Min nodded, "Okay, Brother Yan, just call me if you need anything."
Huang Min also left. He Yan stayed in the lounge where he was alone, digesting everything that had just happened.
When did Zhu Shengting come back?
Did he know that I was there when he came to this party?
How would you feel if you knew, and how would you feel if you didn’t know?
He Yan felt that he was a little upset because of the alcohol. He thought that after so much time had passed, he no longer had such strong emotional fluctuations when facing Zhu Shengting.
As a result, the string that had disappeared for a long time was tightened again tonight.
After being away from the noisy crowd, the pain and bitterness did not become a vacuum, and everything became clear belatedly.
“Dongdongdong——”
He Yan slowly came back to his senses, "Please come in."
The door was closed again and He Yan turned his head away.
He saw someone... the person he least wanted to see right now.
"Get out." He Yan turned his head back.
Zhu Shengting stopped where he was, leaning against the door, looking at the face that had visited him in his dreams thousands of times in the past seven years.
After more than ten seconds, Zhu Shengting still didn't say anything. He was already very satisfied with everything that happened today and couldn't ask for too much.
So he gripped the door handle again and prepared to leave.
"Wait..." He Yan noticed it from the corner of his eye. He opened his mouth again, but he never looked at Zhu Shengting directly. "Come back."
"What's the matter with you looking for me?"
Zhu Shengting paused for a moment, he lowered his head and smiled. His heart was pinched by He Yan but not completely broken. He calmed himself down and turned around again.
There were many things on his mind, and finally he could only choose the words that would be least wrong and less likely to get him kicked out a second time.
"A congratulatory banquet."
"haven't seen you for a long time."
