Chapter 79 Achievement
In order to catch up with Chen Shuoxing's achievements, Li Ji spent most of his time catching up and studying.
In order to win the Best Actor award, he almost desperately rushed to shoot the movie.
But when he was nominated for Best Actor and held the award in his hands, he was still a little dazed.
The award winner was not the science fiction blockbuster "The Condemner" that was favored by industry insiders, or the recently released suspense film about split personality "The Time Corridor", but the once somewhat controversial "Bath of Fire".
“…I thought it would take a long time.”
Looking at the bright lights and the sound of cameras below the stage, he raised his dry voice and spoke. He didn't know why his eyes were a little moist, probably because he saw Sheng Zhao watching him.
Her beautiful eyes looked at him quietly, just like when they first met. She was in the audience of a cheap stage. The surrounding environment was noisy and dark, but her eyes were sparkling and beautiful.
She clearly didn't look like the kind of woman who was there looking for fun.
Li Ji is also not a man who is so dissolute as to flirt with others casually.
But the atmosphere was noisy and turbulent. She saw her brows slightly furrowed by the smoke, and also saw her bright and beautiful eyes.
Somehow, my heart started to move.
He smiled at her.
Li Ji didn't know it at the time, but it was an inexplicable act that changed his life.
He cleared his throat slightly, the man's voice was low and gentle.
"I'm grateful for everything I've experienced over the years... In the past, I blamed others, or didn't understand why I had to go through so much hardship. With my troubled family and dark experiences, I never imagined I'd be standing on a stage like this."
"But now I understand that maybe all that I went through was just for me to meet my love - Sheng Zhao."
He raised the corners of his lips slightly and chuckled.
"Just like the prince waiting for salvation finally found his heroine, I also found the heroine of my life."
"I'm so grateful that she's always by my side. Without her, there would be no me... I also understand that whoever she chooses will be the male lead."
"So I will keep moving forward throughout my life. No one will ever surpass me, and no one will be more suitable to be by her side than me."
"My whole life will be lived for her."
These words are nothing short of an arrogant declaration.
The entertainment industry is changing very quickly. Even if a man becomes a movie queen, his aging appearance will gradually make him be overshadowed by the younger and more handsome newcomers, and eventually people will talk about their love history and the women they met with relish.
Everyone would leave a way out for himself. At the most glorious moment of his life, he opened his heart to a woman and declared that he would stay with her forever.
No male star would be as stupid as this.
The future sponsor will be unhappy. If Sheng Zhao, the sponsor, is no longer willing to support him, these words will be nothing but a joke.
But these words made everyone stand there in a trance for a moment. The first person to applaud was Sheng Zhao in the audience. She raised the corners of her lips slightly, her expression calm, but her hands clapped crisply and slowly.
At this moment, Li Ji could only see her.
In countless moments of his future life, he would only be able to see her.
Even though everyone had objections and confusion about his words, Sheng Zhao knew that what he said was true.
Li Ji couldn't leave her.
Spiritually speaking, all the sweetness in his life came from Sheng Zhao.
His first half of life was too hard.
His poor family life almost turned him into a prostitute, and the subsequent school bullying shattered his self-esteem completely.
It was like he was forced to stop his studies and he couldn't escape.
Originally, he would have been stuck in such a swamp all his life, perhaps living a life of luxury in nightclubs and eventually ending his ridiculous life with alcohol and cigarettes.
In such a cramped, small, clean and tidy house.
But his life already belongs to Sheng Zhao.
He made it his life goal to gain all of Sheng Zhao's love and never stopped working for it.
Sheng Zhao was like a medicine. He couldn't leave it at all, but instead longed for it all the time.
On the way back in the car, Sheng Zhao looked at the scenery passing by outside the window, paused, and suddenly spoke.
"I finally understand why you are so special."
Li Ji paused slightly.
Chen Shuoxing's question has been making Sheng Zhao ponder these days.
Yes, why does Li Ji do that?
"Because you are lowly, humble, and have been struggling in the mire, your miserable life is something I will never be able to experience in my lifetime. I can never empathize with or understand the pain, suffering, and spiritual emptiness you have experienced."
"Because without me, you will only continue to struggle in this quagmire. Your life will be hopeless without me."
"Because I have a happy family, even though my mother and father died early, I didn't feel any particular pain. At least I was happy when they were alive, and I'm still happy after they passed away. My power, status, and wealth are heights that ordinary people can never reach in countless lifetimes. And I haven't experienced the quagmire. I am a child of destiny, and I have no pain."
"I was searching for a little emotional turmoil. Initially, I found Xie Huaining, but unfortunately, he was empty-headed, stupid, and frivolous. He was a complete second-rate person and would only waste my energy."
"Then there's Chen Shuoxing. He's noble and aloof, a figure similarly adorned with the spotlight. He's also empty and feels his life is uneventful—so he doesn't meet the criteria either."
"I abandoned Chen Shuoxing in the beginning not just because he was disobedient, but because I suddenly realized that he was just like me. He could no longer stir up any waves in my spirit."
"When I found you, I realized that what I should be looking for is someone as lowly and humble as Xie Huaining, but with the same noble character as Chen Shuoxing. He's second-rate physically and second-rate in experience, but his spirit resonates with mine."
"Because I'm so high and mighty, I crave your miserable life. Of course, if I were born into a family like yours, I wouldn't be in the mood to seek spiritual satisfaction, and I wouldn't be happy to experience your pain in this way."
"It is precisely because I am so high and mighty that I desire you so much."
She turned to look at Li Ji, gently stroked his lips with her fingertips, with a slight smile of pleasure on her face.
He was happy because he had thought it through clearly, and his voice was soft.
"So you should be grateful for your life being so terrible at the beginning."
"...Yes." He lowered his eyes slightly and rubbed Sheng Zhao's hand with his cheek affectionately, "I am grateful for this."
In the past, Li Ji would indeed wake up from his dreams because of the pain of his original family, and even feel inferior because his status was not worthy of Sheng Zhao.
Although I still don’t deserve it now, but at least because of these.
And won Sheng Zhao's favor.
That's enough.
Li Ji closed his eyes, hiding the attachment in them.
"Li Ji, you are my most perfect work."
"I'm proud of you."
Li Ji didn't know why, but his heart felt sore and his breathing became rapid. He steadied his breathing, turned his head, and kissed Sheng Zhao's palm.
His eyes were closed, his long eyelashes trembled, and he kissed the palm of her hand devoutly and loyally.
Sheng Zhao paused, feeling the soft touch of his palm, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
...quite cute.
The man's breathing was still suppressed and rapid. The feather-like kiss on the palm of his hand seemed to no longer satisfy him. He slightly extended the tip of his tongue and licked Sheng Zhao's palm.
"call……"
Li Ji held Sheng Zhao's hand, his eyes slightly lowered, his crow-feather-like eyelashes covering the sticky love and lust in his eyes. The tip of his tongue was red, and the moist tip of his tongue hooked and traced the lines on the palm of his hand, so that the palm of his hand felt numb and tingling as if it were an electric shock.
His Adam's apple slid up and down slightly as he swallowed, which was extremely sexy.
Sheng Zhao did not move, but just watched Li Ji's behavior with interest.
His licking motion not only circled around the palm of his hand, but also slid gently and spread to his fingertips.
He took the woman's beautiful white fingertips in his mouth, swallowing and licking them, and she could pinch the soft tip of his tongue with just a slight pinch.
So soft.
Sheng Zhao suddenly chuckled, and her fingertips suddenly pinched Li Ji's tongue. Under the man's moist eyes, she said, "Your hands are wet and dirty."
Because the tip of her tongue was pinched, her voice was unclear, but one could still hear the suppressed forbearance and hoarseness, "Do you dislike me... I can lick you clean."
"Actually, I just wanted to touch your head." Sheng Zhao said.
"You were so cute when you kissed my palm just now. I really want to touch your head."
Li Ji's expression paused.
He glanced at his wet hands that he had licked and frowned slightly.
If it was Sheng Zhao's saliva, he would agree. If it was his own... this wet hand touching his head.
He pursed his lips, as if he was in a bad mood, but didn't want to miss the opportunity to be touched, then he spoke softly.
“…Touch it with your left hand.”
He lowered his head meekly, his soft jet-black hair drooping slightly, revealing his pale, slender neck, which was incredibly beautiful.
But Sheng Zhao still didn't move. She still had a condescending smile on her face, eagerly awaiting his move.
Li Ji's voice was hoarse and trembling slightly. He paused for a moment before speaking.
"Please...pat my head."
The ending sound is a little unclear.
"As you wish."
Sheng Zhao's voice was filled with laughter.
————————
Ever since winning the second Best Actress award in China since Chen Shuoxing, Li Ji has become very persistent in certain things.
For example, posting nude photos.
That's right.
After taking a shower or changing clothes, he would take a photo of himself and send it to Sheng Zhao as if on impulse.
The man's body is very beautiful, with well-proportioned muscles, a slim waist, and sexy abs... His body proportions are comparable to those of international supermodels.
Sheng Zhao really enjoyed it, but she didn't understand the meaning of his frequent actions.
"...You can use these to threaten me."
People always say that cousins are heartless and actors are disloyal.
Li Ji had two of these qualities: he was Sheng Zhao's exclusive cousin and also an actor.
Women and men in the entertainment industry change their partners very quickly. It is almost a consensus among people in the industry that some male stars will look for some sweetness of their own behind the backs of their sponsors after becoming famous.
He was afraid that Sheng Zhao would think he was the same.
...He is not.
But verbal assurance is not as good as sincere actions. Li Ji was almost obsessed with sending these photos to Sheng Zhao, and even created an exclusive photo album on Sheng Zhao's mobile phone.
Of course, one is to express one's determination, and the other is to have an almost magnanimous sense of pride and superiority.
——Sheng Zhao has a collection of his pictures on his phone, although they are nude photos.
He even thought this was not enough.
"so……"
Li Ji raised his head and adjusted the angle of the portable camera in Sheng Zhao's hand. He was quite serious and reminded Sheng Zhao in a low voice, "When you shoot later, just face my face so that you know it's me."
"…More than anything else, I'd like to know when we can move on to the next step."
Sheng Zhao sighed, and she sat astride Li Ji's sexy waist, holding the camera in one hand and the fingertips of the other hand hooked around and played with his waistline to satisfy her desire.
Li Ji paused, suppressed the trembling of his breathing, and still insisted on letting Sheng Zhao take the camera to record.
"...These are all evidences you can use to threaten me later."
"You can destroy me with these."
But Sheng Zhao knew that Li Ji couldn't live without her.
This life will only be firmly controlled by her, and he won't even need such ridiculous things to control his life.
Nude photos, videos in bed, these things... although they are quite exciting, just shoot them once or twice.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll send these out now?"
Sheng Zhao paused, waiting for his answer with interest.
"I won't give you the chance to send it out, because I will never leave you in this life... If you send it out just because you think it's fun to destroy me or because you hate me and want to abandon me—"
Li Ji thought for a moment.
"I'll just commit suicide."
“…It was a straightforward decision.”
Sheng Zhao answered like this, then closed one eye and looked at Li Ji in the camera lens with the other eye.
His face looked beautiful in the light of the camera, so cold and pale that it didn't fit in with the surroundings.
He would either feel joy or pain under such a camera.
Her voice was slightly hoarse as she spoke softly.
"Then I'll begin."
