Gu Sisi's mind was still wandering uncontrollably.
On the stage, the speech continued. "This period has been a particularly important time for me, both in life and work. To receive this award at this special moment is a great affirmation.
At the same time, I'm very grateful to my fellow colleagues. It's because of them that I've been able to persevere. Thank you!"
Ouyang Xin's voice echoed throughout the hall. Standing on the stage, he seemed to be shining. Perhaps some people are just born for the stage.
Many people's eyes sparkled with excitement. Just as he finished speaking, Gu Sisi sensed that he seemed to be looking at her.
Was it just her illusion?
It was just a few seconds. Then Ouyang Xin bowed deeply at a ninety - degree angle, and the crowd cheered and applauded.
Everyone clapped vigorously, as if it was only natural for him to win this award.
Amid the cheers, he returned to his seat.
Gu Sisi could feel that when she sat down, Ouyang Xin gave her a look.
What was this?
She frowned slightly, puzzled. But soon, she knew trouble was coming.
Just as he looked over, many people were also paying attention to him. They all followed Ouyang Xin's gaze.
Fortunately, there were so many people that the target was large. Others were confused. Moreover, Gu Sisi pretended not to notice anything and stared straight ahead.
In the end, people didn't find anything and regarded it as an unremarkable episode. They then refocused on the following award - ceremony.
The award - giving process wasn't long, and there were no surprises.
Before long, Gu Sisi learned that their team didn't win the best screenplay award.
It was within expectation, but when she really heard the news, she still felt a bit disappointed. After all, this was the closest they'd ever been to the top, so it was inevitable to feel a bit regretful.
The other two members of the screenwriting team weren't surprised either. After all, in this circle, they could afford to lose. The winning film was indeed more wonderful.
Soon, it was almost the end.
These people at the top of the entertainment circle were all very busy. As soon as the ceremony ended, everyone left in a hurry.
Gu Sisi hugged the other two members of the screenwriting team.
"You're still honorable even though you lost!" a woman old enough for Gu Sisi to call her elder sister encouraged her.
"Thank you!" Gu Sisi patted her on the back sincerely.
During this period, although Gu Sisi hadn't been with her master, since Sister Juan had influence in this circle, Gu Sisi could clearly feel the care and patience of the other two towards her.
"See you later. May we meet again by fate." another screenwriter said with a smile.
"Thank you." Gu Sisi folded her hands in front of her chest piously to express her gratitude.
Watching the two leave, Gu Sisi let out a sigh of relief. Looking at the sparsely - populated hall, she was just about to leave when her left hand was suddenly grabbed.
Gu Sisi exclaimed in surprise, "Ouyang Xin?"
Now the two of them were sitting at a barbecue stall on the roadside. Their expressions were extremely complicated. After all, Ouyang Xin was someone she had learned about when she was a fan. Where was the so - called prince?
But the person in front of her, wearing a sports suit and a cap, gobbling up the meat, who on earth was he?
Anyone who recognized this person as the movie king Ouyang Xin would be shocked.
"Aren't you going to eat? This is the most delicious stall in the neighborhood." Ouyang Xin looked at the hardly - touched food in front of Gu Sisi and was deeply puzzled.
"..." It seemed more exaggerated than Gu Sisi had imagined.
How many stalls had he eaten at to know this?
She tried to keep calm on the surface, not wanting Ouyang Xin to detect her shock and think she was inexperienced.
"No, I'll eat." Since Ouyang Xin was so relaxed, why should she be so formal?
The two of them ate happily for a while. Gradually, they were full, and their eating speed slowed down.
"I invited you out this time to thank you." Ouyang Xin suddenly took a sentimental approach.
Gu Sisi took a bite of the chicken and nodded.
She had guessed this, so she wasn't surprised.
"Actually, you don't need to thank me for this." Gu Sisi waved her hand. The credit for this really didn't belong to her.
How could she have the ability to make Ouyang Xin's crazy fans stay away from him? It was all just a coincidence.
Ouyang Xin shook his head and looked at Gu Sisi seriously. "But you were indispensable."
His eyes always had a glint of water, giving people a feeling of deep affection. Maybe this was one of the reasons why he was so suitable for the screen.
Coupled with this sentence, it was really a bit ambiguous.
Gu Sisi was amused by her own thoughts and burst out laughing.
"Come on. Even if I helped a bit in this matter, you don't need to thank me so much. It's my duty. And you've also helped me a lot, haven't you?" Gu Sisi argued seriously.
Ouyang Xin shook his head. "The meaning is different. I've also talked to Hu Hui in detail. She's very grateful to you and said you've helped a lot. So I've decided..."
Seeing that he was about to give a speech of gratitude, Gu Sisi opened her mouth to change the topic.
"About this matter..."
"To make a promise. If you need it, just say the word, and I'll participate in the drama you're writing."
Gu Sisi, who was interrupted, was completely incredulous.
"What?" The word "shock" was almost written on her face.
"I'm serious." Ouyang Xin said sincerely.
Although this sentence was simple, as someone in the circle, Gu Sisi naturally understood its great significance.
So many famous directors had to queue up to invite him, but she only needed to say a word?
She thought to herself that she didn't deserve such a privilege.
But a look of joy flashed across her face, and she said with a smile, "Okay, okay!"
Since this windfall had come, she'd better just accept it.
For the whole day, the smile on Gu Sisi's face almost reached to the sky. If someone didn't know, they might think she had won an award.
"Sisi, tomorrow is the due date." Huo Cheng greeted Gu Sisi as she came back, holding the baby in his arms.
It took Gu Sisi a few seconds to realize. Then her mouth dropped open.
Right, she had actually forgotten this date.
"I'll go with you." A look of nervousness flashed across Gu Sisi's face. Seeing that Huo Cheng had no objections and nodded, she let out a sigh of relief.
She was extremely lucky that these events hadn't clashed. At the same time, Gu Sisi was also blaming herself.
Blaming herself for forgetting.
"The day after tomorrow is the 100 - day anniversary of the babies, so we'll celebrate it one day earlier."
Huo Cheng brought even more shocking news. Gu Sisi covered her mouth, and her eyes were filled with tears of joy.
Unknowingly, the babies had grown so big.
Looking at the sleeping baby in Huo Cheng's arms, Gu Sisi gently touched his face and whispered, "Baby, you'll see your elder brother tomorrow."
The baby in his sleep seemed to sense something and actually smiled in his sleep.
No one knew what wonderful dream he was having.
