Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

No one could have imagined that, in fact, Mr. Jin was also surprised by Li Shuo's Grand Slam, but he was more delighted and felt that the Art Association was making changes!

It was for this reason that he made an exception and said these extra words on the podium.

But no matter what the reason, Mr. Jin is equivalent to standing up for and endorsing the results of this award ceremony! This made many lecturers and professors who have voting rights feel relieved!

For some people, things like "potential of young people" and "innovative works" are all bullshit. The promises made by Mr. Yang Kangcheng are more tempting. It's just that these things are not something that can be told to outsiders.

After Mr. Jin finished his speech, the stage and the audience were filled with warm applause. At this point, the atmosphere of the award ceremony reached its climax.

Then the award ceremony continued, but everyone was surprised to find that the host had changed from Dong Dong to the familiar Qiao Yuxin...

Five minutes ago, Li Shuo walked down from the podium and immediately attracted congratulations from everyone around him. Even Zeng Tao, who was standing at the outermost edge of the crowd, shouted "Congratulations".

"Thank you, thank you everyone"

Li Shuo thanked her casually, and when he walked between the four beauties of the Central Academy of Drama, he suddenly whispered in Lan Ying'er's ear: "Dong Dong is too unprofessional as the host, is there any way to replace him?"

Lan Ying'er was in a state of surprise. She looked at Li Shuo with eyes full of stars. Upon hearing his words, the stars turned into crescents and she said in a playful and flirtatious manner, "What? Are you jealous? Hey, I've already broken up with him, why are you still fussing about this?"

Li Shuo smiled gently, and for the first time took the initiative to put his arms around her slender waist: "Anyway, he is an eyesore to me... Actually, I can ask him to come down, but I don't know much about the operating procedures of this award ceremony. Just tell me who is in charge of this..."

As the two chatted, the congratulations from around them gradually faded away: after all, Li Shuo was not a student of the Central Academy of Drama, and he didn't have that many acquaintances here.

Then, Lan Ying'er grabbed Qiao Yuxin and whispered a few words to her. Qiao Yuxin's beautiful eyes moved to Li Shuo. After listening to her, she smiled at Li Shuo and said, "Do you know Professor Li Anguo from the Central Academy of Drama? He is in charge of this..."

"Thank you"

Li Shuo nodded, picked up his phone, and called Yang Kangcheng, who was also at the event, but he was a judge, so he did not interact with Li Shuo publicly.

Yang Kangcheng came to the capital originally to build connections for Li Shuo. Now that he had accomplished his mission, he naturally had to greet other people and thank them one by one. Li Shuo knew this, so the things he asked were a piece of cake for Yang Kangcheng.

So, Qiao Yuxin was quickly called over. Not long after, Dong Dong walked down from the stage with a frustrated look on his face and went straight to Li Shuo.

"Hey, Dong Dong, what are you doing?"

Song Cheche stopped him immediately and warned him cautiously: "The award ceremony hasn't ended yet, you better behave yourself!"

Dong Dongman was speechless and said, "I just came here to congratulate Li Shuo. Cheche, we were friends before, right? Why is it like this?"

Song Cheche blinked. She and the other girls just instinctively thought that Dong Dong was looking for trouble, but now thinking back, they realized that Dong Dong might not know that Li Shuo was the one behind his sudden replacement.

As Song Cheche moved aside to make way, Dong Dong strode towards Li Shuo. When he saw Lan Ying'er snuggling up to him, Dong Dong's brows twitched!

He came here with bad intentions, of course, to sow discord between Li Shuo and Lan Ying'er. To be more precise, he wanted to expose Lan Ying'er's "true face" in front of Li Shuo! However, Lan Ying'er's current condition made his plan difficult.

With a heavy heart in his mind, he had already walked in front of Li Shuo. He forced a smile, stretched out his hand to Li Shuo and said, "I didn't have time to say congratulations on the stage just now, Li Shuo, even if you and Lan Ying'er become boyfriend and girlfriend in an instant, I still think we can actually be friends."

Dong Dong seemed to be expressing friendship, so Li Shuo shook hands with him: "Oh?"

"I've been dating Lan Ying'er for half a year..."

Dong Dong held Li Shuo's hand tightly and smiled bitterly: "But you know what? We didn't shake hands for the first time until a month ago, and that was an accident..."

Li Shuo had a blank expression on his face. He didn't believe this!

"I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, you can ask Lan Ying'er... Am I right?"

The second half of the sentence was directed at Lan Ying'er, who frowned and said, "Dong Dong, what are you doing? We have broken up."

"Yeah, I know, I just came over to get to know our newest theatrical talent!"

Dong Dong smiled at Li Shuo in a friendly manner, released his hand and said, "By the way, tell him... your true identity as a green tea bitch!"

The next moment, Dong Dong's face suddenly turned grim, and he gritted his teeth and said, "We've been dating for half a year, and Lan Ying'er asked me to do this and that, and I worked like a slave, but in the end I didn't even hold her hand, let alone do anything further! Li Shuo, I can tell you clearly that being her boyfriend is just like using her as an ATM machine and a vase to show off!"

He actually had a lot to say, for example, whenever he wanted to kiss Lan Ying'er, he would always be ridiculed and scolded by her, and when he went out to play with Lan Ying'er, she would always treat him like a dog, and so on. Dong Dong had forgotten some of these little things in daily life, but it did not prevent him from accumulating resentment.

Looking at his expression, Li Shuo believed Dong Dong's words directly, however...

“Thanks for telling me, but we are different!”

Li Shuo's words instantly put Lan Ying'er's heart at ease. She quickly grabbed Li Shuo's arm and explained in a low voice: "Shuo brother, it's not like that. I just don't like Dong Dong, so I don't want him to hold my hand. If it were you..."

Lan Ying'er wanted to show a charming expression, but before she could finish, Li Shuo said, "It's okay, I believe you", which instantly stopped her from speaking.

On the other side, Song Cheche and Zhao Ziying stood in front of Li Shuo, one on the left and one on the right, and drove Dong Dong away after scolding him...

The incident seemed to pass quickly. Song Cheche turned to Li Shuo and said with a smile, "Great talent, the reason you rejected us before was that you were busy. How about today? Let's drink together?"

Li Shuo smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid it will be later. I still have a dinner party in the afternoon."

Song Cheche was stunned, and Lan Ying'er immediately chimed in, "He just won a drama award, so he must hold a thank-you banquet. We must thank Mr. Jin, Professor Huang, and others."

Song Cheche and the other girl stopped asking further questions.

Ever since he stepped down from the stage, Li Shuo always felt that something was missing. Now that the people who came to congratulate him had almost left, Li Shuo suddenly realized: the morning he was most familiar with had never appeared in front of him from beginning to end.

"By the way, where did you go this morning?"

The question was asked casually, but the three women were silent. After 2 seconds, Song Cheche said nonchalantly, "I don't know. I didn't see anyone."

Zhao Ziying joked, "You are so good, Li Shuo. You are with our Ying'er, but you are still thinking about Xiao Chenchen, right?"

Lan Ying'er's expression remained unchanged, and her hand holding Li Shuo's arm tightened: She didn't know why Jin Chen didn't come, but she could guess the reason. It was nothing more than that the other three roommates blocked him, or they simply talked to Jin Chen and said something like "Li Shuo is already with Lan Ying'er, you are not suitable to appear in front of them again."

Li Shuo said "Oh" and said nothing. He chatted with the three girls for a while. After a while, the award ceremony officially ended. Li Shuo said, "Ladies, see you in the evening when you are free. I'm going to thank some teachers. I'll leave now."

Lan Ying'er quickly grabbed him and said, "Wait, let's go together."

Li Shuo smiled gently and said, "You stay here. I'm just saying thank you. It's not a big deal. You don't have to chase me."

As he said this, he calmly removed Lan Ying'er's hand and strode backstage...

Lan Ying'er froze on the spot, her pretty face full of disappointment...

The other three girls were all surprised by this scene. Qiao Yuxin, who walked back to the stage, stuck out her tongue and said, "No way, Ying'er, don't tell me that you haven't been able to take down Li Shuo yet?"

Lan Ying'er pursed her lips. She naturally didn't want to say that she was the one who pursued Li Shuo. She just forced a natural smile and said, "What are you talking about? We are truly in love, unlike Dong Dong..."

After patiently staying in the "Beauty Dormitory" for a while, but seeing Li Shuo still not coming back, Lan Ying'er finally got anxious and found an excuse to chase after Li Shuo. As soon as she reached the backstage, she saw Li Shuo and Jin Chen standing there chatting. The latter covered her mouth with her hands and laughed from time to time. Between the two of them, there was a full atmosphere of joy and ambiguity...

Li Shuo had an indifferent attitude towards Lan Ying'er. He didn't think she was a goddess, and he never thought of rejecting such a top beauty. However, he really liked Jin Chen, so he broke away from Lan Ying'er and ran backstage. Then, while thanking several professors, he naturally saw Jin Chen who was staying next to Mr. Jin.

At first, when Jin Chen saw Li Shuo, he avoided his gaze and even seemed to want to "not even look at" him.

After listening to Master Jin's teachings, Li Shuo grabbed Jin Chen's arm when he said goodbye. The latter naturally had to behave like a lady in front of her grandfather, so she had to be pulled aside.

"Li Shuo, you hurt me, let go..."

"Hey, little Princess Chenchen, what do you mean? You were fine yesterday, why are you so angry today?"

"How dare you criticize me? You just met Lan Ying'er yesterday, and you hooked her up today. Your speed is really too fast!"

"But what does that have to do with you?"

After Li Shuo's words, Jin Chen was silent for most of the day, and then she pushed him away angrily.

Li Shuo stretched out his hand to stop him: "It was just a joke, why are you angry? Are you jealous?"

Jin Chen rolled his eyes at him and said, "Let me go!"

"Okay, okay, let me go, but you have to listen to me finish my words. Yesterday..."

Li Shuo recounted the entire story of his relationship with Lan Ying'er.

Jin Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Did Ying'er take the initiative to pursue you?"

Li Shuo nodded.

"But why didn't you refuse?"

“I don’t have a girlfriend here, why would I reject this school beauty?… Hey, don’t be angry first, if you are willing to be my girlfriend, then I will immediately have a reason to reject Lan Ying’er.”

Jin Chen paused after hearing this, curled his lips and said, "You should go find your Lan Ying'er."

"Well, let's not talk about this. I will probably attend a party with Lan Ying'er and her gang tonight. You can come over..."

"Why should I go to your party with your girlfriend?"

"Just explain the situation clearly..."

"don't go"

"There is one more thing. After winning the drama award, the bonus is that "The Invisible Guardian" will enter the Huaying script library, but I don't plan to sign a contract with Huaying unless they are willing to promise to make the movie within three years. Can you give me some ideas on how to achieve this goal?"

"why me?"

"Because in my heart, you are the most suitable to play the leading role in "The Invisible Guardian"."

Li Shuo rarely showed an expression and spoke seriously, but added in his heart: It's the movie version.

"Well, I need some time to think about it..."

"Since you want to consider it, let's get together tonight..."

"Who wants to go with you? Go find your girlfriend..."

"If I were to look for it, would you be angry?"

"No way..."

Li Shuo said a few words, and Jin Chen's attitude improved significantly. At this time, Lan Ying'er appeared not far from the two of them. She strode over and asked from a distance: "What are you talking about? You look so happy?"

Jin Chen suddenly said in a panic: "Nothing, I have something else to do, you guys chat."

Seeing this girl running away in a panic as if she was caught having an affair, Li Shuo was speechless for a while. Turning back, he saw Lan Ying'er with an unhappy face. She said in a very aggressive tone: "Didn't you go to thank the teachers? Why are you with Jin Chen?"

When had Li Shuo ever been scolded by a woman like this? But he didn't want to quarrel with Lan Ying'er in the backstage where people were coming and going, so he turned around and left...

The Art Center of the Central Academy of Drama is usually not used much. Now that it is used for the award ceremony, many places are empty. Li Shuo chose to walk in places with few people and soon came to a secluded corridor in the direction of the back door. Lan Ying'er quickly caught up with him and grabbed Li Shuo's arm: "Tell me, do you like Jin Chen..."

At this moment, Lan Ying'er revealed her bold, arrogant side that could not tolerate even the slightest bit of sand in her eyes.

Li Shuo raised his hand, scaring Lan Ying'er so much that she screamed subconsciously and put her arms in front of her.

"First, there's nothing between me and Jin Chen, and I knew Jin Chen before you. We were just friends, and it has nothing to do with you. Second, I never admitted that I wanted to be your boyfriend. If you think I'm a playboy, just don't contact me anymore!"

Li Shuo only said two sentences, and Lan Ying'er's heart suddenly felt cold: she had just kissed him in front of everyone, and even if she was embarrassed by the face of the "school beauty goddess", she couldn't break up with Li Shuo just like that! Besides, there was another important reason why she pursued Li Shuo in the first place, that is, the capital pool of Beijing Cultural and Creative Industry was about to bottom out, and it was in urgent need of external funds to supplement it. How could she break up with Li Shuo?

Seeing Li Shuo leaving after he finished speaking, Lan Ying'er grabbed him and said simply, "I'm sorry, I was wrong!"

Li Shuo turned his head in surprise, only to see Lan Ying'er screaming and kissing him directly...

This time it was no longer just a light taste, but a long, wet kiss. In the midst of passion, Lan Ying'er's little hand even took the initiative to reach into Li Shuo's clothes...
