Chapter 64: Sharing Glory "I'm not drunk, I just like you...
"Then I'll go take care of other things first, Brother Yan. Remember to set the alarm for your flight at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning." Huang Min stood up and waved his hand.
He Yan nodded. "Yes, I know. Thank you for your hard work."
"bite--"
After Huang Min left, an unexpected person sent him a message. He Yan's hands suddenly felt numb, so he exited the group chat.
Click into the chat box with someone that was left on a rainy day a month ago.
Sheng Ting: Teacher He, could you please pass on a message for me when I receive my award at the Drama Festival?
He Yan looked at the screen, his palms sweating.
He Yan: Are you so confident that you can win the award?
He Yan didn't know what he was replying. In fact, those who were invited were basically nominated and could win awards, otherwise the organizer would not let the guests sit on the bench.
After all, the Drama Festival awards are certainly not as valuable as the Hong Kong Film Awards, and are more of an entertainment award for the general public.
Sheng Ting: Well, I believe in our crew and I believe in you.
He Yan: You asked me to deliver a message, why didn’t you come yourself?
He Yan knew that what he said was a bit willful and illogical. Since he came to him to deliver a message, it must be because of a conflict due to work, most likely because of the movie, and he knew it himself.
But he just wanted to say this, wanted to see Zhu Shengting answer him personally, and wanted a nice explanation.
Do you need logic when you want it?
Sheng Ting: Director Chen Xu doesn't like actors to make other announcements while filming his movies. In addition, a new actor came in some time ago to make last-minute script changes, so this period has been even busier. I am very sorry that I can't attend this celebration with everyone in the "Guyu" crew.
Before He Yan could reply, Zhu Shengting sent another explanation.
Sheng Ting: You should have seen the newly added actor, Guo Xiao. There aren't many emotional lines between them, and there aren't any intimate interactions. She's a fan of both of us. The things on the hot searches are also unilateral marketing from Mengchuan. They didn't tell me in advance, and there probably won't be any follow-up. Mengchuan doesn't dare to force Guo Xiao in.
He Yan: I didn’t ask that…
He Yan scratched his fingers. Why did Zhu Shengting explain it so clearly?
Sheng Ting: Yes, I want to say more.
Sheng Ting: But I just thought about it again. If it’s not convenient, you don’t have to pass on the message for me.
But He Yan admitted that the dark clouds that had accumulated in his heart during this period were easily dispelled by Zhu Shengting's words.
He did get a nice explanation.
He Yan: It’s not inconvenient…
He Yan: So, what message do you want me to convey?

In the upper city, at 4 pm, the live broadcast of the red carpet of the drama celebration began.
He Yan was wearing a beige plaid suit today, with a light blue shirt and a dark blue and red cross-contrast tie.
The hairstyle is a middle-parted curly hair, making the whole person look fresh and handsome.
He walked the red carpet with Xia Hui and several actors from the "When the Rain Comes" crew.
As soon as they appeared, the barrage of comments became lively.
The crew of "Guyu" is here! Finally here!
[Oh my goodness, I'm going to the Heyan party! Today is my husband's day! Hehehehe]
[My wife is so beautiful, Yanbao is so beautiful hehe]
[Sister Tianlin looks so princess-like in a pink gauze dress!]
[Director Xia Hui, can you please give me a thumbs-up? Big wavy red lips and a black suit are so cool! I'm gay.]
[Shi Heng, could you please stop laughing so happily? It's so silly... I can't stand it!]
[Oh, what a pity! It would have been nice if the actor who plays Li Congye had also come! ]
[The actor who plays Li Congye was unable to appear due to a schedule conflict. I hope there will be a chance in the future!]
[Summoning Lin Guyu's husband...]
[Wait a minute, isn't Zhu Shengting the actor who plays Li Congye and is Lin Guyu's husband? Why can't you just say Zhu Shengting's name?]
How dare that person in front of me mention another person's name in a private setting! (He's acting like a toxic fan)
[I see! Then I'll call Lin Guyu hubby too, hehe]
The red carpet walk was quick. After He Yan and the others stood still and took photos, they went into the backstage for the dinner, waiting for the awards ceremony to officially begin after the red carpet ended.
There was a round table for each crew in the backstage. The round table of the "Guyu" crew was arranged in the middle opposite the stage. Xia Hui sat down first, and He Yan sat next to Xia Hui.
"Oh, it's a good thing I'm wearing a suit, otherwise I would starve to death." Xia Hui picked up the chopsticks and started eating casually.
He Yan couldn't help laughing, but he had just had a glass of iced American coffee today, so he didn't have much of an appetite right now.
Xia Hui ate a few cold dishes, put down her chopsticks, and began to talk to He Yan, "At most, we can win four awards today, two for the crew, one for you and Zhu Shengting, and I can't guarantee the others."
"It's already very good." He Yan said conservatively.
Xia Hui laughed at his modesty and said, "Xiao He, you must win more than one or two awards in the future."
He Yan raised his eyes, his eyes sparkling, thinking of the many awards Xia Hui had won in her life, and today's award was one of the most insignificant ones.
But Xia Hui attended today because she still felt that this award was very valuable and had a different meaning to her.
The actors around were chatting, and occasionally some artists would take a bite or two of food.
An hour later, the official award ceremony began.
After finishing the night scene, Zhu Shengting opened the live broadcast room of the celebration in the nanny car without taking off her makeup.
Because he entered in the middle, he didn't know where the award ceremony was, so he refreshed his Weibo and saw two entries about "When the Grain Rain Comes" winning awards on the hot search list.
They are the #DramaYearBestOriginalScriptAward and the #DramaYearBestFilmingAward.
He clicked on the two entries and saw the video of Xia Hui and the actors receiving the award.
He Yan was standing next to Xia Hui. She was very well behaved and pretty.
When it was He Yan's turn to give his acceptance speech, he did include what he wanted to say.
Secretly, as if no one had noticed.
Zhu Shengting smiled silently, feeling very satisfied.
"The next award to be presented is the Best Actor Award in the Drama of the Year."
The host's voice came from the tablet, and Zhu Shengting turned his attention to the live broadcast, where the barrage of comments was sliding rapidly.
The live broadcast was delayed for a few minutes, and the tablet was still playing the actor nominations. He Yan and I were both there.
Zhu Shengting refreshed his Weibo account on his secondary account, and a CP website he followed popped up freshly released pictures of He Yan receiving his award. It was obvious that they were posted in a hurry, with only two pictures.
He clicked on the large picture and found that He Yan alone won two crystal trophies.
"The winner is—He Yan, the actor who played Lin Guyu in "When the Rain Comes"—"
Applause had already broken out from the audience, but the award presenter smiled and continued, "And Zhu Shengting, the actor who played Li Congye in 'When the Rain Comes'!"
Zhu Shengting suddenly realized and went to look at the text of the picture posted by the CP fan.
[Heartbeat Feast 0329×0818: "I carry the crown that we won together, along with your heart, and stand here to share the glory with you.
Even though you are not by my side, at this moment, you and I have become the one and only us. ”】
"First of all, I really didn't expect to receive this award with Zhu Shengting today. I am very grateful to every friend for their support of "When the Grain Rain Comes". I am also very grateful to Director Xia Hui and the planners for choosing us to play the roles of Lin Guyu and Li Congye and create this beautiful story." He Yan stood in front of the microphone holding two trophies and bowed again.
"Just now, when I accepted the Best Original Story Award, I said, 'Please believe that in any time and space, the story of love will never end.' In fact, this sentence is what Zhu Shengting hopes I can bring to everyone."
After He Yan said this, the live broadcast barrage went crazy.
[Ah ...
[I was sniped by the feast, who knows...]
[I originally thought it was such a shame that Zhu Shengting wasn't here today, but the two of them are really trying hard to make up for this regret.]
[Someone clearly didn't come...but he's everywhere]
Congratulations to Lin Guyu and Li Congye! It's so worth it! This will be my favorite and most unforgettable story of the year!
[I will remember this summer's feast every summer from now on. What about you guys?]
[You two are so romantic! You’ve actually been in touch privately, right?]
It’s “us”…
My life is almost complete. If today were a grand feast and we were standing on the stage together, maybe this is life, there are always regrets.
"Finally, I want to say that we will continue to work hard in the future, live up to everyone's expectations of us, and spare no effort to complete everything. Thank you!"
He Yan bowed deeply again, and the applause continued for a long time.
In the few days after the drama festival ended, the popularity of the festival has not decreased. Even the video of the award ceremony on the day of the banquet went viral and was shared more than 20,000 times.
On that day, Zhu Shengting posted on Weibo and still used the words he asked He Yan to use as the copy to thank Ju Sheng for the award.
In the past few days, the top management of Mengchuan has not sent any warnings to He Yan and Zhu Shengting through Zhu Liao and Wang Shan.
After all, this award was organized by Drama Series, not something they could decide. Plus, it was too obvious and not decent enough, so they just went with the flow.
Especially in Qiao Ling's view, if the heat is not increased, it will eventually cool down, as long as you can handle it clearly.
Zhu Shengting and He Yan don't look like the kind of people who are confused.
*
He Yan met Zhu Shengting again at a celebration banquet one and a half months after the live broadcast.
Zhu Shengting was wearing the simplest black short-sleeved shirt, overalls, and a hat, and looked a little tired when he arrived.
He Yan saw him through the crowd, and Zhu Shengting naturally saw the person he had been thinking about day and night during this period.
Because it was a private gathering, everyone dressed casually.
He Yan also wore the simplest white short-sleeved shirt and jeans.
Xia Hui immediately noticed someone whose eyes were glued to He Yan, and she smiled and invited the person in.
Everyone assumed that the seat next to He Yan belonged to Zhu Shengting.
Zhu Shengting took off his hat, sat at the table and drank three glasses of wine as a punishment for being late.
Even across a distance of wine glass, He Yan's breathing slowed down. He felt that Zhu Shengting's presence beside him was very strong and could not be ignored at all.
We have been chatting on WeChat intermittently these days, but for some reason, when we meet, I feel like it’s difficult to start a conversation.
What should I say first?
He Yan couldn't figure out what to say, and even forgot to give something he brought to Zhu Shengting.
The atmosphere of the celebration party was very lively. Everyone was drinking and having fun, so He Yan didn't have to think about so many problems.
Zhu Shengting's arm accidentally rubbed against He Yan's. He turned his head and whispered sorry to the other party.
He Yan smiled at him, but his ears were a little red, obviously he didn't drink much.
Perhaps it was affected by the heat emanating from Zhu Shengting.
"He Yan, what's in the bag at your feet?" Zhu Shengting finally noticed the black gift box bag that He Yan placed next to the chair, and he turned his head to ask.
He Yan was stunned for a moment, then put the bag near Zhu Shengting's chair and said softly, "Your trophy."
Zhu Shengting smiled beautifully, "Thank you for accepting the award on my behalf and keeping it for me these few days."
Zhu Shengting moved closer, and the skin on He Yan's neck also felt a heat.
"You're welcome." His chest rose and fell slightly, and his eyes were moist as he looked at Zhu Shengting.
Zhu Shengting felt a little dizzy, and some emotions that had been hidden were ripened and stimulated by alcohol.
"you……"
In fact, not many people noticed them, but He Yan's heart was still pounding with nervousness.
He looked at Zhu Shengting's red eyes and ears, and wanted to ask him if he was drunk, but was interrupted by Zhu Shengting.
"Can I talk to you alone?"
He Yan blinked slowly, his tone softening without him noticing, "Where should we go to tell it..."
"Is the hotel room upstairs arranged by the crew okay?" Zhu Shengting replied.
So the two of them were absent from the table, and no one noticed except Xia Hui. They used the cool evening breeze to blow away the smell of alcohol.
He Yan followed Zhu Shengting to the door of the room. Zhu Shengting opened the door with the room card and inserted the card. The dim room lit up.
"What do you want to say..." He Yan was originally standing by the wall, but was gradually pushed back to the wall by Zhu Shengting's breath mixed with alcohol.
He actually instinctively sensed some danger.
Zhu Shengting lowered his eyes and looked at his rosy lips, inch by inch, and finally locked onto He Yan's eyes.
"He Yan, after tonight, your words will determine the relationship between us. No matter what you choose, I accept it in full. But right now, I want to apologize to you first."
“Why…”
Before He Yan could react, a huge shadow fell in front of him, and in less than a second, his lips were kissed.
He widened his eyes slightly, feeling Zhu Shengting's hot breath climbing up his skin, even as if it was going to penetrate into his internal organs.
The lips being kissed had never experienced such a moment before. He passively endured the strong and continuous kiss, and even the tip of his tongue was captured and tortured repeatedly.
Zhu Shengting's hands gripped his waist and increased their strength. He Yan forgot to push him away for a moment, and instead lightly pinched Zhu Shengting's clothes.
He was kissed so hard that he could hardly breathe. Zhu Shengting had no rules, but he gently and domineeringly robbed every inch of him.
At the moment when tears of rationality were forced to flow, He Yan finally remembered to push away the person in front of him.
Without using much force, Zhu Shengting let him go obediently, and his whole body moved away from him.
He Yan's tears dripped onto the floor and he gasped heavily.
Zhu Shengting lowered his head and bit the sweet fruit again. He was ready to accept the result of the apple core rotting.
"Zhu Shengting, you apologized to me because you were drunk, so just now..." He Yan leaned against the wall and spoke in a breath. His lips were numb, so he was even a little afraid to look at the person in front of him.
He panicked and labeled Zhu Shengting's behavior as a drunken mistake, trying to find the fulcrum of the once delicate balance, even though he knew the possibility of doing so was slim.
But because he was too nervous, he did not notice his own tiny resistance, and was more of an indulgent endurance.
Zhu Shengting looked at him and licked his lips. At this time, he squatted down, raised his head, and carefully pinched the hem of He Yan's clothes with one hand and shook it.
There was a thread in He Yan's heart that had been loose for a long time, but it was pulled tight and then gently broken at this moment.
He heard Zhu Shengting sigh, and everything pointed to the answer that he had not dared to think about before.
"A congratulatory banquet."
"I'm not drunk, I just like you."
