After seeing this hot search, fans, haters, and passersby were curiously waiting to see how Li Shen would respond. However, no one would have guessed he would clearly state his position.
“Lmao, I originally don’t like how celebrities use this type of method to get on the hot search, but after reading this response, I’ve decided to follow him [OK]”
“Brother Shen really stands out from others [laugh cry] You’re right, if you hadn’t scribbled on the wall back then, this wouldn’t have happened, hahaha”
“A student from A City Conservatory here to say a few words. In fact, the graffiti in Room 4 piano room is regarded as part of our school’s culture. [Cover face] It’s actually very easy to repaint the walls at school, it’s just that a lot of famous alumni had written on the walls so the school is very reluctant to do so [cover face]”
“I always feel that the people around me are overpraising Li Shen, but after I saw the post today, I found that not only Li Shen is handsome and talented, he is also an interesting soul [cover face] Awesome”
“Thank you Shenshen for giving us a valuable lesson today [cute] Everyone please help spread Shenshen’s message, be a civilized person and respect public property [cute]
“Gosh, Brother Shen is too cute [cover face] I want him [cover face]”
“When Brother Shen’s response came out, no one remembered what it was originally about [oK] By the way, to the comment above, I also want [evil]”
After Yu Wan saw Li Shen’s response, she blanked for a second and then gave the post a like.
The college romance scandal passed like this. Although some of Huang Yue’s fans didn’t let go, the Song Ballad Award is drawing near. No one has the energy to fight, they are all concentrating on voting for their idols.
Among the many awards in the Song Ballad Award, the only category that the audience can participate in is “Most Popular Female/Male Artist of the Year,” which is purely selected by the number of votes. This is the first time Li Shen is on the shortlist for the award so his fans naturally are hard at work voting for him.
Yu Wan also took the time to vote for Li Shen every day. Zhao Xin even sends red envelopes to the company group chat every day to ask everyone to vote for him. Yu Wan felt that Zhao Xin is a professional in chasing stars.
Although Li Shen debuted less than a year, he was discovered through a very popular variety show and even sang the theme song of a very popular drama. His popularity is naturally high. This time, he had the most votes before the deadline ended.
While Yu Wan was sitting on the sofa of Hu Jiao’s villa waiting for her to come down, she decided to cast her vote for Li Shen. Just as she locked her phone, Hu Jiao slowly descended the stairs with a face mask.
When she and Hu Jiao first met, she would always put on powder although it is not heavy. A few months later, Miss Hu no longer wastes time putting on cosmetics.
When Yu Wan saw her walking over, she pushed her computer and a beautiful gift box over for her to see. Hu Jiao glanced down and asked, “What’s in it?”
Because she was wearing a mask, she couldn’t open her mouth wide so her voice sounded stiff. Yu Wan smiled at her and opened the gift box. In it are several red candles of different shapes neatly arranged. “These are the candles that will be used for the wedding. The owner prepared a few samples for me to show you.”
Hu Jiao picked up a candle and studied it closely. At first glance, the candles look to be an ordinary red color but if you look carefully, each candle is different shades of red.
“This candle is very beautiful and it even has a fragrance.”
“Yes, these are scented candles. The owner is recommended to us by the dessert shop owner.”
Hu Jiao nodded. She put the candle in her hand back and took another one to look at, “I remember the dessert shop you cooperated with is Yu Corporation?”
“Uh, it can’t be counted at Yu Corporation’s shop. It is mainly the shop of CEO Yu’s wife. But we can also contact Yu Corporation’s pastry chef.” Wei Shao moved his company headquarters to A City to use his connection in the city to work with elites from all walks of life to create luxurious weddings.
“This store is called MONSTER? I’ve heard of it before.”
Yu Wan replied, “This shop is very popular. You may have seen it on social media. I originally heard that trendy shops online are not very reliable but after I went to check out the store, I found that the owner’s craftsmanship and creativity are very good.”
“En, I really like these candles.”
Yu Wan was relieved when she heard this, “Then I will officially sign a contract with the owner. The wedding will use a lot of candles so the owner needs enough time to prepare.”
“En sounds good.” After Hu Jiao was done looking at the candles, she took off her mask and looked at Yu Wan with interest, “Right, you told me before that you and Li Shen were college friends. Is it the boyfriend/girlfriend type?”
Yu Wan, “.....”
Why does Miss Hu like listening to her and Li Shen’s gossip?
Yu Wan showed her an embarrassed and polite smile. Hu Jiao was even more interested, “When Li Shen’s college romance was exposed a few days ago, I guessed it was you. But why did you guys break up? Fans on the internet are thanking Li Shen’s ex-girlfriend for breaking up with him.”
“....” Yu Wan smiled and turned on the computer. “Miss Hu, I haven’t told you about the wedding host yet.”
“Oh.” Hu Jiao reluctantly looked at the computer, “Is this the one? She doesn’t look to meet my requirements.”
Yu Wan hurriedly explained, “It’s like this, she is roughly between 1.5-1.6 meters. She usually wears high heels when she goes on stage which is why she looks slender. In addition, the clothes she wears on stage are very mature which is different from the style you requested but she likes to wear Lolita costumes in private. Here are a few photos of her in Lolita outfits, you can take a look.”
Yu Wan opened up a different folder with a dozen photos in it. The style is different from the other photos. If you don’t look carefully, you wouldn’t realize it is the same person.
Hu Jiao finished looking through the gallery and nodded, “It looks okay.”
“I’ve been searching for a long time and I feel that she is the one who best fits the requirements. If there’s no problem, you can see if you like her hosting style.”
As Yu Wan opened up a video file, Hu Jiao stood up and said, “Let’s watch it later. I’m going to wash my face.”
“...Okay.” Yu Wan smiled and watched Hu Jiao leave with a smile.
After she finished talking with Hu Jiao about the host, the sky had already darkened. Fortunately, Miss Hu is still humane and had her family’s driver send her back.
After arriving back to her neighborhood, she subconsciously glanced at Li Shen’s villa. Ever since the Spring Festival, she had rarely seen Li Shen in the neighborhood and even Lili rarely appeared in the yard. She is busy with work every day and Li Shen’s workload had also increased. Since the time he gave her a pancake, they have not seen each other again.
Although they live only a few steps away, it feels like there is a distance between them. Will the next time they see each other be at Miss Hu’s wedding?
She stood alone downstairs for a while before she headed into her unit.
A few days later, the Song Ballad Award Ceremony was held. To those in the music scene, this is a once-a-year grand ceremony bit to Yu Wan, it is just an ordinary workday.
Zhao Xin was very excited at work today. On one hand, it is because of the Song Ballad Awards, and on the other, she finally received the special edition magazine today.
She received a phone call from the courier and went to the front desk to sign for the package. When she returned, Li Shen’s poster had already been unwrapped in her hand.
“Yu Wan, look, isn’t he handsome! There’s also his autograph!” Zhao Xin went back to her seat and moved the poster around her desk as if trying to find a place to post it, “Forget it, it’s better to put this up in my bedroom.”
Yu Wan received her regular edition earlier than Zhao Xin because she didn’t have to go through a middleman. She glanced at Zhao Xin’s poster, which has a golden signature printed on the lower right, “The signature is printed on.”
“It is still a signature!” Zhao Xin replied, “After 《Heavenly Voice》ended last year, Xingyao released a set of photo cards which are all personally signed. I was able to get one! Do you want me to show it to you tomorrow!”
“.....No thanks.” She was not interested. Yu Wan turned to her computer and stared at the picture on it.
She remembered when Li Shen first started to sing publicly, he felt that he was going to get popular soon and worked hard every night to practice his signature. Later, when Yu Wan looked over the small notebook he was practicing his signature on, she saw her name fill the pages.
At that time, she remembered her face darkening. Was this kid going to sign someone else’s name for others? Later, Li Shen cheerfully gifted this book to her.
Where is this book now? It’s probably back in her hometown?
Next time when she goes home, she will look for it along the way.
At six o’clock in the evening, Song Ballad Award’s red carpet event began. The stars entered one by one and many pictures were posted online. At this time, Yu Wan still hasn’t gone off work. She had gone to Ten Miles of Mountains and Water in the afternoon to consult with the person responsible for the layout of the wedding venue.
This time, Yu Wan didn’t take the train. Wei Shao told her to buy a plane ticket instead and said the company will cover the cost. Taking the plane saves a lot of time. Yu Wan originally planned on watching the award ceremony on the plane but when she got on the plane, she fell asleep right away.
When she woke up, the plane was about to land. She looked online and saw that the results from the award ceremony has been released.
Li Shen won three awards tonight, namely, the Best Newcomer, the Most Popular Male Singer, and one of the Top Ten Best Songs of the Year.
Among the three awards, the Best Newcomer award was selected by the jury and the Most Popular Male Singer is voted by the public. The Top Ten Best Songs of the Year is based on the statistics on music platforms both domestically and internationally in the past year as well as its popularity on social platforms.
It is also the grand prize and prestigious award set by the award committee.
Li Shen’s song which won the award was 《Lily》which was ranked fourth. The top three were songs from Dong Meng, Gu Xin, and Sima Xiaoxiao.
Although it wasn’t the top three, it is already a very good result. Not only were fans in revelry, but media outlets also release reports with eye-catching headlines.
Before Yu Wan had the time to look at it carefully, the flight attendant reminded her to put away her electronics as the plane was about to land. Yu Wan put away her laptop and decided to look at it again when she waits for the subway at the airport.
The Song Ballad Award is undoubtedly the hottest topic tonight. When Yu Wan opened Weibo, she felt that besides her, who is at work, everyone is chasing stars. :)
There are already millions of comments under Song Ballad Award’s official Weibo.
“Congratulations to all the artists who won an award tonight! Last year has been toilsome, continue to work hard this year!”
“My Lemon Leader is so beautiful today! Qiao Yichen is also very handsome! Congratulations on winning Top Ten Best Songs of the Year!”
“Ahhh Gu Xin! Ahhh Li Shen! I love you!”
“How come Sima Xiaoxiao’s name is not on the hot comment!”
“Li Shen’s song was ranked fourth and the fans are acting like it is a big deal than the top song winner. Fans sure have a big face [smile]”
“Replying to the hot comment. First of all, Li Shen’s 《Lily》was released in the second half of the year while the top three songs were released at the beginning of the year so it had so it has accumulated more data. Secondly, the top three winners are big guys. Li Shen also got the Best Newcomer award [smile] Don’t be so sour just because your family’s idol did not win the grand prize [smile]
“Hahaha, the media likes to use Brother Shen’s name to gain attention. Is this Brother Shen’s fault? Don’t spread your negativity here [pick nose]”
Your Shen got popular by riding the TV drama’s coattails and you proudly came out to say that? [smile] It is really embarrassing [smile]”
“Deideidei, Brother Shen’s popularity is because of the TV series but the drama producer didn’t ask your Yue to sing the theme song [funny]”
“The hot comments are getting heated! It’s wonderful [funny]”
“A passerby here to say a few words. I feel that Li Shen’s《Heartstring》and 《The Last Journey》 complement each other. Not one relied on the popularity of the other to succeed. It had no effect on the outcome.”
“Passerbys, don’t pretend to be fans, it’s disgusting!”
After looking through the top comments, Yu Wan has completely woken up. She found that it is also very tiring to chase stars when not working.
But in any case, Li Shen won many awards tonight so it is a happy occasion. Yu Wan felt that she should congratulate him.
Yu Wan: Congratulations on your three awards tonight!
Li Shen: Thank you
Yu Wan was caught off guard. She thought that Li Shen must be busy right now so she didn’t expect him to reply right away.
Yu Wan: You are handsome tonight! [Smiling]
Li Shen: Did you watch the ceremony?
Yu Wan: I only saw pictures [cover face] I was looking over the site at Ten Miles of Mountains and Water today and just came back [cover face]
Li Shen….Is your work always busy?
Yu Wan: Not really. It’s because Miss Hu has a lot of requirements so there’s a lot of stuff to do.
Li Shen: In that case, when you receive the payment, you can rest for half a year.
Yu Wan: I also want to [cover face] but my work doesn’t allow it [cover face]
Yu Wan: I just go out of the subway. I’ll tell you later.
Li Shen: En.
Yu Wan walked out of the subway and looked at Li Shen’s photo on her phone. He was really handsome tonight, with a black shirt and a white suit. She doesn’t know what he added to his outfit that made him shine on stage.
She looked at a lot of pictures along the way. When she walked back to her neighborhood, she looked up and saw a man in a white suit standing downstairs.
He in a white suit still shined in the moonlight.
Yu Wan froze in place. Li Shen turned around and looked at her.
Yu Wan’s heart was beating so fast. The scene in front of her feels so unreal.
The man whose pictures she was looking at before was standing in front of her the next moment. He is exactly the same as in the pictures who suddenly walks in front of her.
Ahhh, thank you so much for another chapter ☺️ hope for some sweet moments now
ReplyDeleteYour idol in the flesh, if I were her I would've fainted on spot
ReplyDeleteLol love how she still gets star struck.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Zhao Xin sounds like she must be an officer of one of Li Shen's fanclubs or something XD
If I am not wrong, the MONSTER candle shop is a reference from a different story, "Slowly Falling for Changkong" right? I wonder how no one noticed
