Chapter 397: Bullying of cute cats is prohibited 44

The entrance was already crowded with various entertainment hotels, with all kinds of people rushing in. Jin Lai and the bodyguards had to work very hard to get Ming Nan and Ning Jue in.

When they entered, Jin Lai asked Ming Nan, "Are you nervous?"

It was Mingnan's first time attending an awards ceremony. If she said she wasn't nervous, she would be lying. She took a deep breath, glanced at the people around her and said, "I'm nervous, but I'll get used to it."

Ning Jue's eyes behind the lens were as gentle as ever. He said in a voice that only the three of them could hear: "Yes, our Nan Nan will definitely become a regular at major award ceremonies in the future."

As soon as they entered, they saw Director Zhao and his group, who immediately waved to them.

The crew of "Lost Night" sat together, with Director Zhao sitting in the middle. There was an empty seat on each side of him, which was just right for Mingnan and Ning Jue.

Jin Lai felt relieved when he saw this. With Director Zhao blocking them, the two of them shouldn't exchange glances anymore... right?

Facts have proved that he still overestimated Director Zhao's role.

The award ceremony proceeded in order, and awards were given out one by one, with some people happy and some sad.

With its excellent plot and beautiful shots, "The Night of Slaughter" won two major awards at the Stellar Awards: "Outstanding TV Series" and "Outstanding Director".

A clip from "The Night of Slaughter" appeared on the big screen. The moment the music started, Director Zhao's eyes were teary.

When the host called out the name of "Lu Ye", Director Zhao stood up and hugged people left and right.

Mingnan was also very happy.

Even if she didn't win the award tonight, she would have no regrets.

When she is happy, she can't help but want to share it with her closest people.

Ning Jue is naturally the same.

So their eyes accidentally stuck together.

As luck would have it, the director cut to this point and gave a close-up of the two of them.

Jin Lai: “…”

His eyes went dark and he quickly pinched his philtrum.

Fortunately, Director Zhao walked between the two of them and interrupted their eye contact.

After going on stage, Director Zhao gave a speech and thanked everyone in the crew before leaving the stage.

Next, the Stellar Awards for "Best Actress" and "Best Actor" were announced.

The director didn't know whether it was intentional or not, but the camera swept across Ning Jue and Ming Nan's faces and gave close-ups.

Mingnan tilted his head slightly and smiled towards the camera, calmly and indifferently, as if he didn't care at all.

In fact——

[Tong, let's have a discussion. Can you check if the name on their hand card is me? Let's take a look and talk quietly.]

205: [No, the system does not provide this kind of cheating service. ]

Mingnan: [How can this be called cheating? I just wanted to see the results in advance.]

205: [What’s the point of knowing in advance? It’s only fun to reveal it at the last minute, hehe~]

Mingnan: [……]

She quietly clenched her hands and held her breath as she waited for the host to slowly read out the name of the best actor.

It’s not Ning Jue, but another veteran actor.

But think about it, Ning Jue just won the award last year, it’s time to give others a chance.

Moreover, although the male lead in "Slaughter Night" is also outstanding, he is far less outstanding than the female lead.

Therefore, Ning Jue was mentally prepared and did not feel disappointed at this moment.

The next Best Actress award is the highlight.

After the Best Actor received his award and walked down the stage, the entire audience fell silent, waiting with bated breath for the Best Actress to be announced.

When this moment really came, Mingnan calmed down.

Now that things have come to this, there is no point in being nervous.

She listened to the host trying to liven up the atmosphere and watched clips of the popular TV series from the past year on the big screen, her mind filled with her days and nights on the set.

She noticed someone looking at her. It was Ning Jue.

Is he nervous about himself too?

Mingnan couldn't help but want to laugh. This guy didn't react at all when he didn't win the award, but now he was worried about her.

Finally, the lively atmosphere ended and the mix-up on the big screen also ended.

The host had whetted everyone's appetite, and finally opened the card in his hand and read out her name word by word -

"The winners of our 30th Stellar Awards for Best Actress are Ming and Nan! Congratulations!"

"Congratulations Mingnan!"

Everyone in the hall was excited and applauded loudly.

Director Zhao stood up and said something with a smile.

Ning Jue also stood up and applauded Mingnan, his eyes filled with satisfaction and forbearance.

Mingnan's mind went blank and his ears were filled with buzzing sounds, as if there was a layer of water film between them and he could not hear anything clearly.

At that moment, she felt as if her soul had left her body, and only a body was left standing there, acting on instinct.

Director Zhao wanted to hug her, but Ning Jue somehow got over and got there first, hugged Mingnan, patted her on the back, and whispered in her ear, "Congratulations, my best actress. All the stars shine for you tonight."

At that moment her soul was pulled back to the noisy world.

Joy and emotion suddenly surged into her heart, making her a little overwhelmed.

Ning Jue had already let her go at the right time.

Director Zhao immediately hugged him and said, "Congratulations, our crew has had a great harvest! Hahahaha——"

Ning Jue coughed lightly and reminded, "You still have to go upstairs to receive the award, stop hugging me."

"Oh, yes, yes." Director Zhao quickly let go of Mingnan, "Go quickly."

Mingnan nodded, holding up the hem of her dress and walked onto the stage step by step.

She took the heavy trophy from the host and turned to face the unfamiliar and familiar faces in the audience, her heart pounding.

She had a thousand things to say before going on stage, but when she really stood on this shining stage with all the lights on her, she had nothing to say.

She thanked everyone in the crew, and also thanked Su Qing and Ning Jue, as well as Jin Lai and Mu Jing, for their support and care.

She bowed deeply, stood up and said, "Finally, I want to thank myself for making my efforts pay off. Thank you."

Under the gazes of the crowd, she raised the trophy high in her hand.

In my heart, I said to the original owner: [I have fulfilled your wish.]

[I will continue to climb higher mountains and take you to see more scenery. ]

There was warm applause from the audience again.

Tonight, they witnessed together the rise of a bright new star.

…

What Jin Lai was most worried about finally happened.

After the award ceremony, a group of sharp-eyed netizens cut together the clips of Mingnan and Ningjue looking at each other, adding ambiguous music and special effects, which was simply full of tension.

Especially the hugging part, the barrage was full of hits.

Even Ning Jue and Ming Nan's relationship became a hot topic.

However, the real owner did not respond, and the matter ended up in nothing.

Jin Lai asked Ning Jue when he planned to make the news public, and he bought some quick-acting heart pills in preparation.

Ning Jue thought about it seriously and said, "Don't be in a hurry to make it public, and don't buy the heart pills. Please buy me some gifts first."

"What? You want to bribe me?"

Jin Lai was about to say that he didn't buy it, but Ning Jue said the next second: "Bribe my parents, I'm taking Nan Nan to meet his parents."

Jin Lai: “???”
