Chapter 37 Ceremony: Happy Birthday, Little Fish Baby
High-definition live cameras recorded the scene on the red carpet.
The young man wore a snow-white dress embroidered by hand, with gold and silver threads crocheting a retro and luxurious pattern on the neckline. The perfect tailoring made his waist look slender and his legs look long. The aquamarine brooch on his chest sparkled brightly. The interweaving of fresh youthfulness and youthful maturity was hard to miss.
He waved his hand and greeted the camera with a smile.
The handsome man beside him was tall and straight, with a calm expression. He was wearing a black suit of the same style but a different color. He was half a step behind her, and his slightly tilted body language showed a protective posture.
The Star Awards Ceremony was broadcast live throughout, and the number of viewers continued to rise.
[Ah ...
[Hahaha, this is the first time I've seen someone of Jiang's rank following behind someone, like he's carrying a bag for a baby fish.]
【\Little Fish/\Little Fish/\Little Fish/】
Their dresses are so shiny, they look incredibly expensive. Could someone please explain?
[Here I come! This is the latest summer collection from the luxury fashion show. It's a global limited edition, the kind you can't buy even if you have money! !]
There was a lot of chatter online, and at the scene, the two followed the host's guidance and stood in front of the signature board, shoulder to shoulder, and wrote their names together.
[Do you think Jiang Zemin will draw a little heart or something to declare his sovereignty?]
[Hahahaha, Mr. Jiang doesn't have such a cool image, right?]
[I don't care, I'll brush first, little fish baby, I'll kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss]
The camera zoomed in and moved closer to the signature plate, clearly showing the two names tacitly placed next to each other.
Yu You put down his pen, but Jiang Xunzhou did not stop writing after signing his name. He solemnly jumped to the row below their names and marked a bracket in the middle.
(Married)
The barrage of comments surged wildly.
[I can’t stand it. It’s an engagement, not a wedding! How can we be married?! ]
[The engagement has no legal effect, but for someone with Jiang's background, making it public shows that he's prepared to face public opinion, which is almost as good as finalizing it...]
[Little Fish probably didn't guess what Mr. Jiang was up to. Look at the way she's smiling at her husband. Oh, so cute.]
Yu You really didn't guess that Jiang Xunzhou would add these two words under their signatures, and his eyes curved into the bright moon.
If the camera hadn't been here, he would have wanted to ask Jiang Xunzhou if he was pretending to casually emphasize his legitimate status again because a bunch of fans called his wife jealous when he went to answer the mail just now.
The host handed the microphone over and asked with a smile: "Teacher Yu You, this is your first time at our Star Awards. How do you feel now?"
Amidst the continuous flashes, the blue fish pattern at the corner of Yu You's eye flickered softly as he said, "I'm looking forward to it."
The host had done his homework in advance and congratulated Yu You on the attention his role in the previous campus drama had received, and also cueed two of his upcoming dramas to do some promotion.
Changing the subject again, the announcer spoke in a clear voice, interviewing Jiang Xunzhou: "Mr. Jiang has participated in several of our Star Awards, but this is his first time walking the red carpet in front of a live camera. Many netizens are curious, will we see Mr. Jiang appear on the red carpet often in the future?"
Jiang Xunzhou raised his eyebrows slightly: "It depends on whether I will have the honor of being chosen as a male companion by Xiaoyu Baby in the future."
Yu You suppressed a smile and said, "Yes. Not only now, but Mr. Jiang will also be my only designated male companion from now on. There will be no second choice."
The barrage of comments flashed with a cry of grief as if they had eaten dog food. The host made a few jokes and asked them to move to the audience seats to rest.
The two of them walked off the stage and were guided by staff to the middle of the VIP seats.
Yu You couldn't wait to get closer to Jiang Xunzhou, and finally asked out her curiosity, "Husband, what is this surprise you're talking about?"
Jiang Xunzhou pinched Yu You's fingers, and said with a faint smile: "You'll know in a moment."
Yu You insisted: "How long do you want to wait?"
"After the stars sign autographs and enter the venue, there will be some performances on stage, followed by the awards ceremony. The Star Awards don't involve any professional awards, they only look at popularity. Almost every star who comes here will receive an award."
Jiang Xunzhou patiently explained: "By then, baby will know what surprise I have prepared."
Yu You asked, "Do I have a prize too?"
Jiang Xunzhou nodded: "Yes."
He added: "I had no say in the award. It was decided by the platform based on online votes from netizens."
Yu You became even more curious, but as more people came to sit in the VIP seats, he had to suppress his curiosity by politely interacting with Jiang Xunzhou.
"Brother Xunzhou! Baby Fish!——"
Jiang Mingyan also appeared in the field of vision, rushing over excitedly with her luxurious skirt lifted. Yu You was so scared that he quickly stood up: "Sister Mingyan, be careful not to fall."
"It's okay, I'm not wearing high heels." Jiang Mingyan stretched her feet quickly. "After I walked the red carpet, I went to the lounge at the back to change into slippers. I'll change into high heels when I'm going up."
Yu You felt relieved: "That's good."
"It's a pity that I came here with the male lead on behalf of the crew, so I can't sit with you." Jiang Mingyan said, "The view here is the best. Little Fish, when I go on stage to receive the award later, can you help me take a few pictures?"
Yu You replied: "Sure."
Jiang Xunzhou responded at the same time: "I'll take the photo for you."
Yu You was stunned and turned to look at Jiang Xunzhou. Jiang Mingyan was also full of suspicion, looking him up and down: "Brother, can you take a picture for me? Can you take pictures?"
"What's so difficult about taking pictures?" Jiang Xunzhou said, "The director might cut the live camera to the baby at any time, and taking a picture of you would block his face. I can do it."
The air conditioning in the venue was already on full blast. Jiang Mingyan wrapped her arms in shock and said, "Brother, you look so strange and love-brained. It scares me."
Jiang Xunzhou nodded calmly: "I am just like this, you'd better adapt quickly."
Jiang Mingyan held up her skirt and floated to her seat in the back row in a daze.
Yu You raised the corners of his lips slightly, and whispered, "Hubby, forget about Sister Mingyan, but what if others also say you're in love? Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed?"
"Our Jiang family has a motto passed down from generation to generation: Family harmony is paramount. Listening to your wife will lead to prosperity, and pampering your wife will bring wealth and treasure. So, being in love is considered a compliment in our family. Others can say whatever they want. I don't mind."
A smile flashed across Jiang Xunzhou's eyes. "Besides, if you like someone, you naturally want to treat them well. It's human nature. Our little fish baby is still in the most critical period of career growth, so of course you have to understand."
Yu You's ears flushed red, and he scratched Jiang Xunzhou's palm with his fingertips: "Are you blocking me on purpose?"
The last sentence was clearly what he said himself, but Jiang Xunzhou actually used it to tease him.
Jiang Xunzhou wrapped Yu You's fingers around him, and raised his thin lips slightly: "What did I say is wrong? Is it that you are not in the rising stage of your career, or that I don't like you?"
Still outside, Yu You wrinkled his nose, lowered his voice, and said deliberately fiercely: "I'll settle the score with you when I get back."
Jiang Xunzhou laughed: "Okay, I'll wait."
Yu You said solemnly: "Let me tell you in advance, when I come to settle the score with you, please don't kiss me suddenly, it will interrupt my train of thought."
As they kissed each other, he forgot about settling the score.
"It's a bit difficult." Jiang Xunzhou said honestly, "When you looked at me and talked, I didn't listen to a word. I was only thinking about how to kiss you."
How could this person be like this!
Yu You angrily tried to pull his hand back, but Jiang Xunzhou held it tightly.
The two of them put their heads together and whispered. The live camera cut in several times, but they didn't notice.
[I'm so anxious! What are these couple whispering to each other? They're so focused they didn't even notice the camera was pointed at them several times.]
[We're too far away to keep quiet, who can lip-read? Come on, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]
[What are you whispering about? I'm a valued member, there's nothing I can't hear!]
The ceremony finally began, opening with a performance from a recently popular boy band from a talent show.
Yu You stopped chatting with Jiang Xunzhou and watched intently.
Jiang Xunzhou had no interest in this kind of stage and was a little absent-minded. He pinched and played with Yu You's fingers, rubbing them all over.
When it came time to present the awards, Yu You openly asked Jiang Xunzhou for inside information: "Which number am I to receive the award?"
Jiang Xunzhou said a number.
Yu You calculated in his mind that there was still about half an hour left, and nodded seriously: "Okay."
Sure enough, 20 minutes later, the host on stage, holding the cue card, announced: "Let us welcome this year's most popular potential actor - Mr. Yu You!"
The applause rang out like thunder, and the live camera cut to Yu You.
The boy seemed to be born to be the darling of the camera. He had a small face, delicate features, red lips and white teeth. When he smiled, it seemed as if the world became brighter, and he easily won everyone's favor.
"He is a newcomer who has just started out, but he has used his hard work and talent to give the audience an extraordinary performance..."
As the host introduced him, Yu You walked towards the stage, his thoughts still a little drifting.
Jiang Xunzhou said that he would give him a surprise at the award ceremony.
Where's the surprise?
Yu You stepped onto the stage from the side, walked to the center, stopped a few steps away from the host, and then looked forward together -
In an instant, the boy's eyes froze, revealing a hint of astonishment.
The host was still reciting the words slowly, and the microphone mixed with the solemn background music filled the entire venue, drowning out the screams and cheers from the audience.
In the oval enclosed venue, circles of stairs lead up to the seats sold to fans.
At this moment, countless light signs were flashing brightly in the audience seats facing the stage.
【Little fish baby, free and happy】
[The little fish swims through thousands of waves, shining brightly in the future]
【First, be happy, second, be happy, and finally, be happy】
[Brave little fish, cutting through the waves]
There were too many, so many that Yu You couldn’t even count them.
Countless blessings came pouring in, like tiny stars, merging into a vast and grand sapphire ocean, surrounding him from all directions, with waves of cheers rising one after another.
It was as if the whole world was passionately expressing its endless love for him.
"Now, please invite Mr. Jiang from Xingtian Entertainment to present this award to Mr. Yu You!"
Yu You came back to his senses in a daze, only to find that Jiang Xunzhou had been standing at the edge of the stage waiting for his turn.
There was a smile between the man's stern brows as he looked at him and walked towards him step by step.
Jiang Xunzhou handed the certificate and trophy to Yu You, then stretched out his arms and hugged him tightly in his arms, his body temperature as hot as fire.
"Little fish baby."
Jiang Xunzhou whispered in his ear.
Yu You's mind went blank.
The noise of the entire world seemed to have been muted at this moment, leaving only Jiang Xunzhou's gentle and low voice breaking in, banging against his eardrums.
"Happy birthday."
