When Qi Le’an returned to his seat, the broadcast had already started for ten minutes. Wei Changfeng asked in a low voice, “What took you so long?”

Qi Le’an said so gently that only they two could hear what he said, “I had a fight in the toilet!”

Wei Changfeng was startled and turned to Qi Le’an at once. Seeing that Qi Le’an’s shirt was still smooth, he felt relieved and asked, “What was going on?”

“Haha,” Qi Le’an smiled and said, “I met Li Zheyu. That really vented my spleen!”

Wei Changfeng looked at Qi Le’an helplessly and said, “Don’t get yourself in trouble next time… If you want a fight, you can get me together.”

Qi Le’an couldn’t help laughing.

The camera caught this scene and the audience in front of the computer saw Wei Changfeng was saying something dotingly to Qi Le’an, and Qi Le’an smiled happily.

All of a sudden, the screen was filled with bullet comments and pink bubbles.

#OMG My idols are showing their love#

#They are so sweet#

#I’m stuffed with dog food now#

On Weibo, someone even created a GIF of the two people, then Qi Le’an and Wei Changfeng became a trending topic again.

At eight o’clock, as the lights went dim, the award ceremony started officially.

Ya Ting, a Hongkong actress who starred in the movie “Better Days”, was standing on the stage, looking elegant and charming. She was holding the microphone and said, “Welcome to the 26th Golden Film Awards!”

Sitting in the auditorium, Qi Le’an watched the clips on the big screen and allowed his mind to wander elsewhere.

It wasn’t a dream. He literally managed to sit here with his own effort one day.

The award ceremony was an extremely long process. The awards were given to the actors and actresses one by one from insignificant ones to important ones, and each award went through the process of nomination, announcement, award-giving, and speech of thanks. As time went by, Qi Le’an’s anxiety turned into peace. He watched every segment on stage and the trailers of each nominated movie earnestly. He saw people crying, laughing, or kissing each other excitedly.

“The winner of the Best Director of the 26th Golden Film Awards is…”

Ya Ting’s voice was still powerful and the trailers of the nominated movies flashed across the big screen. Qi Le’an saw that the trailer selected from the movie “Blue” was the morning he left, where sunlight shone through the window on the bed.

“Guan Kai! ‘Someone Likes Blue’!”

Qi Le’an clapped crazily. He saw Guan Kai stand up in the front row and the producer hugged Guan Kai tightly. Qi Le’an was full of joy. Guan Kai got it! He really got it!

“Please welcome Director Guan Kai to the stage,” Ya Ting smiled and said.

Guan Kai looked back at Wei Changfeng and Qi Le’an. Qi Le’an gave him a big smile, then Guan Kai, whose face was shining with happiness, walked to the stage.

The person who gave the award to Director Guan was Elder Ge, the teacher of Director Chen, the director of “Better Days”. He was a famous director who could write his name in the Chinese movie history. Qi Le’an had met him once and was especially respectful to this experienced director.

Elder Ge passed the trophy to Guan Kai and hugged him. Director Guan kissed the trophy and walked to the centre of the stage.

Ya Ting smiled at Guan Kai and said, “The Best Director.”

Guan Kai looked at the trophy and confirmed, ” The Best Director.”

“Is there anything you want to say?” Ya Ting kept smiling and said, “About this movie?”

Guan Kai looked down and seemed to be reliving it. He said, “This is a…. very difficult work. From the early stage to the shooting, and to the post-production, it hasn’t been released for a few years after finishing the later stage… It’s been very tough. ”

Ya Ting listened and nodded with understanding.

“I’m grateful to each of the staff around me. Thank you, my scriptwriter. Thank you, my producer, thank you, my… assistant director,” Guan Kai smiled again and said, “He has been with me for many years. During the shooting, whenever I was too angry to smash the camera, he stopped me.”

There was a burst of laughter offstage. Qi Le’an couldn’t help laughing when thinking of the days when Director Guan pissed off during the shooting.

“But the ones I want to thank the most are my two protagonists.”

Speaking of it, Guan Kai paused for a moment.

Qi Le’an felt a gaze from the distant stage.

“They were really dedicated to the movie… and even used their career as a wager. I’m particularly grateful to them. It could be said that without them, the world would not see Zhen Dong and Xiao Lan! Thank you, An! Thank you, Wei Changfeng! I didn’t let you down!”

Then came another round of applause. Looking at Guan Kai who was smiling at him from afar, Qi Le’an felt his tears was rolling down his cheeks.

Wei Changfeng whispered, “Don’t cry, the camera is shooting you now.”

Qi Le’an burst into laughter and clapped his hands desperately. When Guan Kai came down from the stage, Qi Le’an hugged Guan Kai hard and Guan Kai yelled, “It hurts! Let go! Aren’t you afraid that your Wei Sama will be jealous?”

The atmosphere was ruined by Guan Kai’s yell. Qi Le’an smiled and let him go.

Everyone backed to their seats and the winner of the Best Actress followed.

Qi Le’an couldn’t help but think that the winner of Best Actress was announced and now then came the winner of the Best Actor.

Who would be the Best Actor? The committee had already given the Best Director to “Blue”. Would they give the Best Actor to the same movie? If that’s the case, who would get the award in the movie where there were two male leads?

Would it be himself… or Wei Sama?

Wei Sama, it must be Wei Sama!

There was not a happier thing than watching the person he loved win the award on the stage!

There was another round of applause and Qi Le’an also clapped. The award of the Best Actress was given to the heroine of a youth film. The girl was lovely, and she couldn’t help crying when she stood up. After getting on the stage, she kept sobbing.

However, Qi Le’an couldn’t care that much. He was a little nervous. When the girl got off the stage, it was time for the announcement of the Best Actor.

“For the 26th Golden Film Awards, the nominees of the Best Actor are Wang Ruohan form ‘Spear Battle’!”

“He Ziming from ‘That Little Youth Thing’!”

“Wei Changfeng from ‘Someone Likes Blue’!”

Qi Le’an saw the screen was showing Wei Sama silently lying in the morgue then crying.

Then the screen changed show Qi Le’an wearing a tie in front of the mirror.

“Qi Le’an from ‘Someone Likes Blue’!”

“Zhaxi Juanyong, ‘The Sage’!”

The five nominees were announced one by one. Qi Le’an’s heart leaped into his throat.

For the first time, he felt that the award ceremony was so hard to go through. However, Ya Ting still didn’t announce the result and she added, “This year’s Best Actor is probably the most difficult for the committee to come to a final decision. The committee still argued about the winner of the Best Actor before the ceremony began.”

The discussions started offstage. Of course, those actors with little hope of winning had no burden at all, but Qi Le’an was worried to death!

However, he had to keep smiling, while he was actually stomping his foot in his heart.

“But now! I have the name of the Best Actor in my hand! And he is!”

At that moment, Qi Le’an felt silent. Everything seemed to fade away and the discussions seemed to disappear from the world.

The only thing left in the world was his heartbeat. Thump, thump, thump.

Many years later, Qi Le’an participated in countless ceremonies and received countless awards, some of which were even mor important than the Golden Film Awards, but none occasion made him feel as nervous as this time.

“From ‘Someone Likes Blue’…”

Ya Ting first announced the name of the movie and would announce the name of the winner later, keeping people in suspense on purpose.

“Wei Changfeng!”

Qi Le’an turned to Wei Changfeng at once and hugged him tightly!

He was too excited to speak. His body was trembling. Scarce minding all kinds of cameras focusing on them in the venue, he just held Wei Changfeng and didn’t let go!

Great…great!

Wei Sama got the award! Wei Sama was far and away the best actor!

Qi Le’an enjoyed the instant he hugged Wei Changfeng in front of everyone. Then he put down his hand and said, “Wei Sama, congratulations!”

Wei Changfeng smiled and looked at Qi Le’an with affection in his eyes.

“Please welcome Wei Changfeng to the stage!” Ya Ting said.

Qi Le’an tilted his head at Wei Changfeng. “Come on! Wei Sama!”

Wei Changfeng suddenly hugged Qi Le’an under the watchful eyes of the people and then stepped onto the stage.

The person who gave the award to Wei Changfeng was naturally Sheng Chang’an. Sheng Chang’an held the trophy and said, “The Best Actor, congratulations.”

Wei Changfeng accepted the trophy with a smile and walked onto the stage.

“Changfeng, congratulations.” Ya Ting smiled with sincere blessings as she hugged Wei Changfeng.

Wei Changfeng hugged Ya Ting very gentlemanly and Ya Ting smiled. “You have two more minutes for your award-wining speech. Go ahead.”

There was a friendly smile offstage.

Wei Changfeng looked at the trophy and said, “I… I started starring in movies at the age of four and I’ve been in the industry for twenty-three years. Maybe I’m a little dumb, so I spend more time than others coming to this stage.

“I’m especially thankful to everyone in my life, my parents, my sister, my brother-in-law, my friends, my teachers, every director I’ve worked with, and my fans.”

“I once made an agreement with someone. We wanted to see, in the two of us, who would get this trophy first since we were very young then. Unfortunately, he had passed away, so I become the one who gets this trophy first.

Some people who knew Qin Xing couldn’t help but cried.

“But I think I cheated. I think the award of the Best Actor is not just mine. I want to share this trophy with another person who is also qualified to get it here.”

Wei Changfeng looked at Qi Le’an who was offstage.

Qi Le’an looked at Wei Changfeng who was on the stage.

“Because without him, there won’t be ‘Someone Likes Blue’, there won’t be Zhen Dong, there won’t be me.”

Everyone looked at Qi Le’an. Qi Le’an resisted his impulse to cry and listened to Wei Changfeng’s words with a smile.

“Le’an, the award of the Best Actor belongs to the two us.”

On the stage, Wei Changfeng said to Qi Le’an, to the world.
