The stage Blazing Stage.
Thanks to the joint efforts of the director and on-site mentors, order was finally maintained.
Shen Huaian had already passed the initial excitement and was being comforted in Lin Changfeng's arms.
The worst off was Wen Jiu. He was like a clean kitten who had fallen into a monkey's den, getting petted by countless hands while trying to maintain order.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Guan Qingqing pinched his cheek twice and patted his head. The mentors who came on stage couldn't resist either, each patting the fluffy head under the guise of encouragement and comfort, and sighing comfortably, "It feels so good."
Wen Jiu:¿ ¿ ¿
Even Ying Songnian, the grandfather, couldn't resist the temptation in the end. He coughed lightly, walked over, and solemnly patted Wen Xiaojiu's shoulder.
Then, he tiptoed and ruffled his soft, fluffy hair, paying special attention to that one messy ahoge (cowlick).
"... Professor Ying Songnian?"
"Good boy." Ying Songnian nervously twitched his beard and restrained himself from touching him. "Keep up the good work, Grandpa believes in you."
Wen Jiu was very pleased and nodded gratefully, "Mmm!"
"Ahem!" The director himself took charge of the event, "Everyone, please return to your seats. The awards ceremony is about to begin!"
A male fan shouted in a hoarse voice, "I also want to touch my wife--"
"What a magnificent ideal."
Zhang Guoliang offered a token gesture of encouragement, "But the distance between ideals and reality is the distance between you and Xiao Wen. It's very regrettable, male guest."
[Hahahaha, I'm laughing so hard! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking! Director, you'd better take your foot back from moving towards your wife!]
Why does this sound like a dating show? [doge emoji]
[You're not alone upstairs]
[The cat's fur is all messed up (sighs). Oh, what a disheveled little kitten today!]
[Who started this?! How dare they pet a cat's head! I've never even petted one! [Breathing in anger]]
"But this distance is just right for me." Zhang Guoliang sighed leisurely, then, noticing something out of the corner of his eye, suddenly quickened his pace, "I'm willing to do it for you!"
Wen Jiu:...
Is this ever going to end?!
Zhang Guoliang: It's over.
My fingertip was only a millimeter away from that single stray hair!
But Zhang Guoliang still withdrew his hand.
The people on stage followed the director's gaze, and the camera switched to the left side of the stage.
It's Feng Chi.
In such a short time, the man changed his clothes again. The well-tailored suit made him look tall and long-legged, and the surface was neat without a single wrinkle. He wore Jiangshidun double diamond watch on his left wrist, and a beautiful silver chain ornament hung from his collar.
She possessed a noble air, with a cool and sharp gaze.
That presence is enough to make someone walk the runway without looking out of place.
Zhang Guoliang thought it would be even more perfect if his eyes weren't fixed on his hands.
Wen Jiu's eyes lit up, " Feng Chi!"
Upon hearing Feng Chi, Feng Chi's icy phoenix eyes instantly warmed.
The radiance in his eyes at that moment, in the eyes of others, was as if an entire season's worth of snowmelt had melted into them.
"Yes, it's me."
Feng Chi turned sideways, took the trophy and roses from the emcee, and walked step by step toward the boy in the center of the stage.
What if the award presenter shows up without following the proper procedures?
The stage director of "Blazing Stage" gave his own advice: Get lost.
Get the hell out of here.
Don't be a third wheel.
The only injured person this season has appeared.
[The director was previously unable to touch the cat because the mentors monopolized it, and now that he finally has a chance, he's been targeted by President Feng. Poor director!]
[But I'm so happy! (Smile gradually widens)]
[Remember to take screenshots and record videos, don't just focus on the sweet moments!]
Feng Chi reached out and tidied the boy's messy hair, then handed him the championship trophy and roses, and kissed the boy's forehead without any lust.
A soft voice whispered, " Wen Jiu, you deserve it."
Whether it's flowers and applause, or the championship glory in your hands, you deserve it all.
Wen Jiu held the flowers and trophy, her eyes brimming with joy, "Mmm!"
Feng Chi took a step back, walked to his side, his sharp eyes staring directly into the camera, his words resounding:
"The entire competition this season was broadcast live, both backstage and on-site. Rehearsals and dress rehearsals by the contestants were recorded. Weighted scores were calculated by the mentors, audience members, and online judges. There were absolutely no behind-the-scenes manipulations or underhanded tactics."
"But at this moment, I need you all to know: this variety show is exclusively sponsored by Feng's company, and its initial purpose was entirely due to my own selfish desires."
Feng Chi spoke, his sharp gaze softened, and he turned to ask the boy beside him.
Do you still remember what I said to you in Peach Blossom Spring Village before your first stage performance?
Peach Blossom Spring Village...
Wen Jiu recalled, "You said I needed to use a stage that was stunning enough to shut up all those who didn't believe in me."
Shen Huaian jumped up excitedly, but Lin Changfeng hurriedly pressed him back down.
The fans in the audience realized something was possible and could hardly contain their excitement, screaming loudly!
Peach Blossom Spring Village! Peach Blossom Spring Village!
So, they were already together back then!!
[Aaaaaaah, I'm going crazy! Leave me alone! Let me continue being crazy! Aaaaaah!]
[Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap... Are these two progressing that fast?!]
[ Peach Blossom Spring Village, hahaha, it's Peach Blossom Spring Village... But back then, didn't President Feng say he was still pursuing it? He said in the live stream that the truth was fake, but he hoped it would be real in the future... What's going on now?! Were they already so private back then that they could talk about these things?]
[What the hell is the difference between this and watching your husband vent your anger?]
[What's the difference between this and a married couple discussing their future?]
[No difference! Hahahaha, am I hallucinating? My head is buzzing!]
[Am I the only one who noticed what President Feng said? He said it was all because of his own selfish desires! Who understands? Who understands?!]
[ Feng Chi: I'm coming clean, I'm not pretending anymore. This stage is specially prepared for my wife, are you going to disagree?]
[Damn it! The wall's cracked!]
Feng Chi's words were subtle, but it was impossible for long-time fans of the couple who had been shipping them to see through his scheming. Apart from the mentors who were listening attentively, the audience and the comments section were like a boiling pot of oil.
"Now, Wen Jiu has earned his honor through his own strength, and the Malice slander from some online trolls should stop now."
"A word of warning to everyone present: if there are any further acts of defamation, insults, or Malice damage to Wen Jiu's reputation..."
As Feng Chi finished speaking, his gaze lingered on Gu Xun for half a second before he coldly looked away.
" Feng Group Legal Department will pursue legal action to hold those responsible accountable, regardless of the amount involved, and will never tolerate such behavior."
[Hiss, Feng Group Legal Department, if I remember correctly, is that top-tier, all-star legal team, the one that never loses a case?]
[Yes (serious face) They all graduated from prestigious universities and have an impressive track record.]
[Gulp (swallows) My husband is suddenly so serious, I'm still not used to it, haha]
[It feels like I'm at a press conference for the Feng Group.]
[Family members, check the trending topics! The Feng has made a move! All the marketing accounts and trolls who previously slandered Wen Jiu have been targeted, with over a dozen nine-square grids of posts!]
[Still gathering evidence (doge) Those people have all scrambled to delete their Weibo in a panic, hahaha, so satisfying!]
[I knew my husband was holding back, he was waiting for this moment!]
Wen Jiu had enough confidence, and Wen Jiu's wings were gradually growing stronger.
Waiting for Wen Jiu to win the championship.
The level of trust between them is truly incredible!
[A somewhat cheesy line comes to mind, and I find it particularly fitting for Lasting: "Separately, each is a king; together, they are unparalleled." How wonderful it is to shine brightly in each other's areas of expertise and passion.]
Wen Jiu stared intently at the person beside him, watching his usually cold and aloof lips open and close, uttering words full of intimidation. However, the image of him nestled in the soft bed, throwing away his teddy bear and clinging to her, looking pitiful and wanting a kiss, involuntarily surfaced in her mind.
Those cold eyes I'd seen in those CP-themed videos didn't feel cold at all now that I was seeing them up close.
Perhaps it's because he kept all the warmth to himself.
Thinking of this, Wen Jiu gently raised the corners of her lips, her eyes overflowing with laughter.
In a moment of stunned silence, the man lifted the hand holding the trophy.
His extremely confident voice rang in my ears, exuding a powerful aura. "I allow you to question, but I will not tolerate Malice slander and personal attacks. This stage is just the beginning—"
"He will only get better and better in the future."
