The thunderous applause sent shivers down Gu Weiwei's spine, causing her a sharp, piercing pain.
She stared intently at Ling Yan and Gu Siting, who walked hand in hand onto the stage to face the audience under the lights.
The host invited the two women to the stage but did not immediately reveal the winners of the Best Actress award.
"Ling Yinghou, now that you're standing here again, what would you like to say?"
Ling Yan stood in front of the microphone, a gentle yet strong smile on her face.
"As you all know, I used to be a very serious heart patient. Around this time last year, the doctor told me that I had at most two years to live."
"I've always dreamed of living like a healthy girl, freely pursuing my dreams, experiencing the love I've always longed for, and discovering all the beautiful things in this world."
"However, I couldn't at that time. With my Mumbai blood type, I was destined not to receive a heart transplant. I could only wait to die day by day."
"Perhaps it was a blessing from heaven that gave me a chance to live again just when I was ready to face death," Ling Yan said, her hand covering her chest, tears welling up in her eyes.
"I am grateful to the person who gave me my heart and allowed me to live. She gave me the opportunity to fulfill my dreams and gave me everything I had longed for but could never have..."
She choked up as she spoke, glancing sideways at Gu Siting standing beside her.
The large screen projected an image of the two gazing deeply into each other's eyes, their fingers intertwined.
Gu Siting stood on the stage, dressed in a white suit with a black collar, exuding elegance and gentlemanly charm.
His looks are in no way inferior to any of the male stars in the audience, and he even surpasses them in terms of temperament.
Gu Weiwei stared indifferently at the stage, where the woman who had ripped out her heart was putting on airs and thanking her, a mocking sneer creeping into her eyes.
Ling Yan, just you wait.
Everything you gained because of me, I will make you lose completely in a more tragic way.
Your acting dream, your love, your destiny...
Everything will be destroyed.
The host's eyes welled up with tears as he listened, and he wiped his eyes as he spoke.
"Thank God that our legendary actress was not taken away. I believe she will create more legends for us in the near future."
Below the stage, countless filmmakers applauded excitedly for a long time.
The host gestured for everyone to stop before speaking.
"That's all for now. Next, please welcome Ling Yan and Mr. Gu to reveal who will win Best Actor and Best Actress today."
Fu Shiyi casually held the trophy, glancing at the two people on the stage and grinding his teeth as he spoke.
"Ah, my hands are so itchy, I really want to grab the trophy, rush onto the stage, and beat that guy surnamed Gu until he's bleeding from the head..."
Gu Weiwei's originally gloomy mood was turned into a mix of laughter and tears by him.
"Stop being silly, okay?"
"Seeing him makes me feel bad."
As Fu Shiyi spoke, he took out his phone and showed his selfies.
"What are you doing?"
Gu Weiwei couldn't understand how someone could be so engrossed in looking at their own photos.
"I'll use my good looks to heal my soul."
As Fu Shiyi spoke, he flipped through another selfie.
"..." Gu Weiwei was speechless.
She thought, there's no one more narcissistic than this guy in the world.
Gu Weiwei, caught up in her banter with Fu Shiyi, completely failed to notice how the awards would be presented.
After the film festival awards ceremony ended, Director Yi An took her to greet a director she knew.
After the two left the venue, she was lifting her skirt as she descended the steps when Fu Shiyi called out loudly.
"Weiwei, over here!"
Among the departing crowd, Gu Siting was leading Ling Yan away when he heard the sound and suddenly turned around to look around.
It seems as if it is searching for something.
