After the program aired, the internet was in an uproar.
Especially Xia Yixin and Lu Yan's Weibo posts, which were all filled with blessings.
Xia Yixin also made an official announcement, also with just a picture, showing the two of them holding hands, wearing a pair of black jade rings.
A group of people below were wailing: "I knew all along that this wasn't Ninth Master's decoration!! So you two were actually together over a year ago!!!"
The happiest people are undoubtedly the fans of the "Lu Xia CP" (Lu Xia CP), who are practically basking in the sweetness every day.
Lu Yan has maintained a pace of posting on Weibo every few days.
Xia Yixin didn't understand why he suddenly liked taking pictures of her so much at first, but she also liked his habit of recording life, so she indulged him.
There were supporters and opponents, but also doubters. The biggest concerns were whether Xia Yixin had been sexually harassed by Lu Yan and the fact that the two of them were more than ten years apart in age.
The media also had a lot of questions they wanted to ask.
However, Xia Yixin had not appeared in public since she was pregnant until the promotional activities for "Number Nine" began.
The movie "Number Nine" has quite a pedigree, and its publicity campaign is also very large-scale. The reason why there was no news before was that they hoped to make a splash.
The effect was also very good. Especially after the trailer was released, Xia Yixin, who played the supporting female character Lan, no longer had her previous action scenes, but instead had real drama scenes. Just a small part of the plot shown in the trailer was enough to keep the audience on the edge of their seats.
Even before its premiere, "Number Nine" had attracted countless people's attention, with millions expressing interest in seeing it.
Moreover, it coincides with the Lunar New Year period, so a substantial box office is a certainty; the only thing to anticipate is the reviews.
In particular, it includes Xia Yixin, who has been frequently in the news over the past year.
After holding back for several months, the reporter finally met Xia Yixin and couldn't help but ask the two most controversial questions online.
"Hello Ms. Xia, I'm from Southwest Entertainment. I'd like to ask about the rumors circulating online about unspoken rules, especially considering the age difference between you two. What's your stance on this?"
Xia Yixin held the microphone and smiled faintly, "If Lu Yan really did sexually harass me, would he still need to marry me? Besides, if he's promoting someone, would he need to hide it? I believe the audience isn't blind. Whether I have acting skills or talent, everyone should go see the movie."
Her words were powerful and resounding, leaving many media reporters at the scene speechless.
The director of "Number Nine" also stood up for her, saying, "Xia is right. Also, I'll answer the reporter's next question for her. My wife and I are also ten years apart in age. I think love can't be limited by age. Some people's thinking is too narrow."
The director of "Number Nine" is a very influential figure in the film industry, and his words carried great weight.
Many people on Weibo forwarded the video and also criticized those who questioned it.
The later-released film "Number Nine" thoroughly refuted those who narrowly speculated about Xia Yixin and Lu Yan. Xia Yixin's acting in the film was remarkable and outstanding, and this time she focused entirely on dialogue rather than action scenes as before.
In addition to its high box office performance, "Number Nine" also won several awards in China, including "Best Film," "Best Music," and "Best Drama." Xia Yixin even won her first "Best Newcomer Award."
A funny thing happened at the awards ceremony. Since Lu Yan had also attended with her, everyone felt like they were being fed dog food every time the camera panned to them. At first, the two of them sat upright, and then, as if Xia Yixin's chair was uncomfortable, he calmly pulled her over so she could lean against him. Later, they discovered that Xia Yixin had actually fallen asleep leaning against him, and she was still a little dazed when they went on stage.
The award presenter was Zhen Yingxiong, who couldn't help but jokingly say, "You're probably the first person in all these years to fall asleep at an awards ceremony, hahaha, but that indirectly proves you're very calm, not bad, not bad."
This joke made everyone laugh, and Xia Yixin blushed. She came down and pinched the man several times, complaining that he hadn't woken her up sooner.
The only response she received was Lu Yan's increasingly tender and doting gaze.
The hashtag #XiaYixinPregnancySleepiness# has also become a hot topic.
On the other hand, "Mulan" was also nominated for the Oscars. Unfortunately, Xia Yixin only received a nomination for "Best Actress". However, this is still the best result for China in recent years.
Amidst a constant stream of news from the outside world, Lu Yan and Xia Yixin's wedding was completed in a low-key yet luxurious manner.
A European castle and church, a haute couture wedding dress, and smiling faces full of blessings from all the guests.
Flowers, a pastor, pigeons...
It's as if she stepped into a fairy tale and married a prince.
Lu Yan certainly deserves to be called a prince. His white three-piece British-style suit made him look even more handsome, mature and dashing. His reserved temperament made her unable to take her eyes off him at first glance.
And so did she.
Perhaps because of her pregnancy, the new mother had a budding maternal glow and happiness on her face. The already beautiful girl seemed to have a built-in filter, and every step she took towards him made Lu Yan feel as if she were stepping on his heart.
The entire wedding was videotaped without any reporters present. Xia Yixin later released a three-minute excerpt, and netizens were completely blown away by this romantic moment.
[My mom asked me why I was kneeling while watching the video. It's because I looked up the church and found out it's privately owned, and belongs to the royal family—you can't buy that kind of thing no amount of money can afford! Also, Xia Yixin's dress was definitely haute couture, and those sparkling things are diamonds, yes, diamonds!! A total of 9,900 diamonds!! My goodness, and the wedding ring alone, I saw it went at auction for 60 million US dollars. The world's largest pink diamond!!]
