Disagree? My husband has a mouth, there was no misunderstanding at all!

Chapter 225 Breakthrough TV Drama Actor of the Year

Seeing that Fan Wenran had finally calmed down, Yan Zhuoyu turned around and continued watching the Tencent Star Awards ceremony.

The host proceeded with the process in an orderly manner, revealing each award one by one, and Fan Wenran had already gone on stage to receive her award.

There were very few awards left to be announced, and Yan Zhuoyu wore a faint smile, completely unperturbed.

Until the host announced, "Next, we will reveal the winner of this year's Breakthrough Television Actor award, who is..."

The big screen flashed and began playing the award winners' career stories.

When the actors appeared on screen, Yan Zhuoyu's heart skipped a beat.

She stared at the youthful figure on the screen, feeling both familiar and strange.

The director cut to Yan Zhuoyu.

Fan Wenran sat next to her, worried that she might accidentally appear in the frame. Suppressing her joy at her friend's award, she quietly glanced at the beauty beside her, whose eyes were red-rimmed.

In the video, from the sweet and innocent girl Yan Zhuoyu played in a campus idol drama, to the cold and elegant female undercover agent in a cheongsam in "Spring Rain Love", and then to the senior sister in "Yao Yun Jue" who cried blood and was fearless of fate, each role is a milestone in her acting growth.

The transitions between scenes were perfectly timed, showcasing Yan Zhuoyu's remarkable leap in acting skills from naivety to maturity.

Yan Zhuoyu looked at the big screen, as if she were getting to know herself all over again.

What a pleasant surprise today!

The host announced with a smile, "Congratulations to Yan Zhuoyu for winning the Breakthrough Television Actress of the Year award!"

Music and applause filled the venue. Fan Wenran whispered, "Congratulations, Sister Yan! Go up on stage to receive your award! Good luck!"

Yan Zhuoyu looked down and winked at her, then smiled and said, "Thanks, I'll treat you to dinner later."

She stood up, the tears in her eyes forced back, and smiled gracefully as she walked quickly towards the stage.

Under the spotlight, every strand of her hair seemed to glow. The crescent-shaped vintage necklace around her neck swayed with every step, like a wild and untamed eagle in the wilderness. Her long legs, straight and powerful, swayed beneath her black suit trousers as she strode confidently toward the center of the stage.

Yan Zhuoyu accepted the wooden trophy and subconsciously searched for her agent in the crowd.

Qiao Xinyun nodded vigorously at her from the other seat, her eyes full of pride.

Yan Zhuoyu bowed deeply to the audience below the stage.

Although she knew she wouldn't win an award in previous years, Qiao Xinyun always made her prepare an acceptance speech just in case, and this year was no exception.

"Thank you all for your recognition and support. This award is very meaningful to me..."

"I want to especially thank my agent, Qiao Xinyun..."

After finishing her remarks, Yan Zhuoyu bowed to the camera again: "I will continue to work hard and repay everyone with better works."

After stepping down, she returned to her original position.

Fan Wenran wanted to talk to Yan Zhuoyu, but the director refused to cut the camera away.

There's no way around it; the moment Yan Zhuoyu appears, the viewers in the live stream become exceptionally active, whether praising or criticizing, the buzz is just that high.

Only after the camera moved away did Fan Wenran excitedly speak up: "Sister Yan, what was it like to receive an award for the first time? I still remember the first time I received an award, tears came out before I could speak, it was so embarrassing."

"Although it's an award from the platform itself, this is the first time I've ever touched a trophy related to acting. Of course, I'm very happy and excited. Speaking of which, I've watched you grow up. You cried so much back then, you were the nation's sweetheart, so beautiful and so pitiful. There's nothing shameful about that."

Yan Zhuoyu held the small wooden trophy in her hands. It was simple, but it meant a lot to her.

Fan Wenran chuckled sheepishly, "Alright, now that I've received a compliment from a beautiful lady, I've decided to give everyone a nice look today~"

"By the way, Sister Yan, if you want to commemorate this award, you should take as many photos as possible after the award ceremony, as the trophy will be taken back."

Yan Zhuoyu tapped the trophy to confirm that it was made of solid wood.

She raised her hand and pressed her temples: "It's not gold, why are you recycling even a piece of wood? I used to buy tons of Tencent coins when I was a kid..."

Fan Wenran placed her trophy next to hers and said with a smile, "This is what you call a classic poem being passed down through generations."

Yan Zhuoyu also said magnanimously, "Then wouldn't you say I shook hands with the senior who first received this award? I'm quite honored."

"As expected of my sister Yan, I never thought of this angle."

As the awards ceremony drew to a close, everyone stood up to leave.

Fan Wenran took out his phone and started searching for previous recipients of this award.

The two rarely come to Guangzhou and haven't seen each other for a long time, so they had already arranged to find a Cantonese restaurant to have a good chat.

Fan Wenran looked down at her phone, letting Yan Zhuoyu pull her out of the venue.

After Qiao Xinyun took a few photos for her, the trophy was taken back by the staff.

The group got into the car. Fan Wenran was still researching the award-winning seniors. Miss Yan, sitting next to him, was bored and also took out her phone.

"Xiao Fan, since you have some free time now, let me share that article with you."

Upon hearing this, Fan Wenran was startled and immediately turned off her phone screen: "Ah? No, no, I just... um, yes, I suddenly feel a little dizzy, you know, Sister Yan, why can't I understand human speech all of a sudden?"

She even pretended not to hear: "Sister Yan, did you just say something?"

Yan Zhuoyu affectionately stroked her soft hair: "I didn't say anything, I was just looking forward to seeing this little fan's new article in the next couple of days, the kind related to tonight's awards ceremony."

Fan Wenran: "..."

She did have that idea, but she wanted to change her number!

While the two were chatting, their agent sat in the back row, looking at them with doting eyes as if they were two children.

The restaurant operates on a reservation system. As soon as the group sat down, the waiter quickly served the food, and the timing was perfect, so they didn't have to wait too long.

Since Yan Zhuoyu had already said she would treat everyone, Fan Wenran wasn't one to be overly polite. She was at the age where she was still growing, and on her way to the party, she had only eaten a dry bread, which had left her feeling utterly drained.

She scooped up a spoonful of soup, intending to just drink it casually, but after tasting it, she was surprised by how delicious it was: "Sister Yan, you should try this soup. I thought it was bland because it looked so clear and watery, but it's so fresh and sweet!"

"Cantonese cuisine emphasizes preserving the original flavor."

Yan Zhuoyu explained that this was also the reason why she dared to bring Fan Wenran here to eat, so that he wouldn't suffer from stomach upset due to the change in environment and eating heavy oil and salt dishes.

She was in a good mood and sent the photos of her dinner that she had just taken to Pei Weijin, but he was still on the plane and did not reply.
