Chapter 84

The 35th Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival.

Grandly opened in Xiamen amidst much anticipation!

Countless media outlets flocked to the event.

On the red carpet, celebrities strutted like peacocks displaying their most beautiful selves.

Among them,

the meticulously dressed Su Yao, and the equally meticulously dressed Lu Xuan.

As the two walked hand-in-hand on the red carpet.

They instantly attracted the attention of the entire venue and all the cameras!

"Look, isn't that Director Lu?"

"So young and handsome!"

"Truly the youngest, most handsome, and most talented director!"

To outsiders,

Lu Xuan at this moment seemed to have shed his former rough edges.

After experiencing a few years of slump and directing a few box office failures.

He began to accumulate his strength!

"Goodbye Mr. Loser" won Best Screenplay.

"Dying to Survive" was hailed as the best realistic film of the year.

Its box office directly broke domestic film history records!

Becoming the new number one.

Even now, countless people are still discussing this movie.

Which also elevated Lu Xuan's status in the film industry.

From 'box office poison' to an unparalleled genius director!

Enjoying unparalleled success!

"I wonder if Director Lu's next movie needs actors."

"I'm willing to participate for free!"

Many actors looked at Lu Xuan with envy.

They all knew very well in their hearts.

They were just supporting actors at this film festival.

The winner of the Hundred Flowers Award had already been decided when "Dying to Survive" was released.

No film could compete with "Dying to Survive" for the Hundred Flowers Award.

"The one next to Director Lu is Su Yao, right?"

"So beautiful!"

"Yeah, she used to be quite popular. It seems she disappeared after marrying Director Lu."

"A talented man and a beautiful woman, they look so well-matched!"

"Indeed, many celebrity couples are only together in name, but they look very loving."

Many actresses looked at Su Yao.

Envious of her good fortune.

"If only I could be the one standing next to Director Lu..."

At this moment, no one expected.

That the Lu Xuan couple, who seemed so loving in their eyes.

Were actually bickering.

Su Yao smiled at the camera while holding Lu Xuan's arm.

But the words she spat out between her teeth were only heard by the two of them.

"Lu Xuan! Can you slow down!"

Lu Xuan was walking a little fast, and she couldn't keep up.

"Is it my fault you have short legs?"

Lu Xuan also maintained his smile and waved.

He didn't really like being constantly bombarded by flashing lights.

Hearing this, Su Yao immediately became unhappy.

Ignoring the cameras, she turned her head and glared at Lu Xuan.

"Short legs?"

"I have 1.1-meter-long legs, okay!"

"It's obviously you walking too fast!"

Su Yao, who was 1.75 meters tall.

Had a perfectly proportioned figure!

Lu Xuan retorted, "But still not as long as mine."

"You!"

That was a fact.

Su Yao was so angry that her teeth itched.

In the end, unable to contain her anger, she secretly moved the hand holding Lu Xuan's arm to his flesh.

Pinching and twisting!

Lu Xuan's expression didn't change.

But behind his back, he gasped.

"Hiss—are you trying to kill me!"

"Who told you to bully me?"

"So telling the truth is considered bullying these days!"

"Yes!"

"You're starting to be unreasonable, aren't you?"

"So what?"

"You just wait!"

Lu Xuan nodded gently towards the camera.

Then, not to be outdone, he moved his arm.

Adjusting the angle.

Counter-pinch!

The corner of Su Yao's eye twitched.

She only pinched his arm, but Lu Xuan actually pinched her waist!

If she didn't have enough self-control, she would have lost it right there.

Too much!

Su Yao directly retaliated.

Lu Xuan successfully blocked and launched a counterattack.

The counterattack was ineffective, and it was Su Yao's turn again.

"If you have the guts, don't dodge!"

"Only an idiot wouldn't dodge!"

The two of them pinched each other like this, constantly making small movements.

Completely forgetting that they were still walking the red carpet.

Pinching each other with great enthusiasm!

Although the movements of the two were very small, and they maintained smiles on their faces.

They couldn't escape the capture of the cameras.

"Heh... hehe, as expected of Director Lu."

"Young people are so energetic."

The surrounding reporters exchanged glances and chuckled dryly.

It was the first time they had seen such a mischievous couple on the red carpet.

While complaining, the reporters' hands didn't slow down at all.

Click, click—

The cameras captured all the small movements of Lu Xuan and Su Yao.

This scene was seen by more and more reporters.

Then they swarmed over and took pictures of the two of them.

They had their headline for tomorrow!

'A certain celebrity couple openly shows affection on the red carpet, is it a matter of morality... or human nature...'

Finally, Lu Xuan noticed something was wrong.

"Why are so many cameras pointing at us?"

"I don't know..."

Su Yao also panicked a little.

She suddenly felt a little unaccustomed to being pointed at by so many cameras.

So she suggested.

"Why don't we stop for now and fight another day?"

"Okay!"

The two hit it off immediately.

Holding hands, they quickly walked inside.

This time, Lu Xuan took smaller steps, and Su Yao took larger steps.

Just right.

When the figures of the two disappeared at the end of the red carpet, the reporters withdrew their envious gazes.

Li Hao and others were already waiting inside.

Seeing Lu Xuan and Su Yao finally come in, he said speechlessly.

"The two of you really don't know how to read the room!"

The matter just now had obviously attracted the attention of many people.

Many people looked over here, covering their mouths and chuckling.

But Lu Xuan didn't care about these gazes.

Neither did Su Yao.

Lu Xuan glanced at Su Yao: "It's not my fault, Su Yao started it."

Su Yao: "You were the one who insulted me first!"

"Good heavens, is calling you short-legged an insult?"

"Yes! Can't I?"

"You!"

Seeing that the two were about to start fighting again, Li Hao rubbed his temples in a headache and interrupted them.

"Alright, let's keep a low profile."

"The cameras will come over again if you keep arguing."

"......"

The two finally stopped.

But the hands that were holding each other, even when arguing, never separated.

Li Hao pushed the two forward.

"Let's go, Lao Xu and the others are already seated."

"This time our seats are..."

"In the first row!"

His tone was full of pride.

Once upon a time, he and Lu Xuan could only sit in the corners.

Watching others shine brightly, showered with glory!

Now, it was finally their turn to shine!

"Really? That's great!"

Lu Xuan took the lead and walked.

Sure enough, he saw his name in the first row.

And even to take care of him.

The organizer had specially arranged a seat for Su Yao next to Lu Xuan's chair.

It could be said to be the ultimate in thoughtfulness.

Lu Xuan was very satisfied.

Along the way, many people he knew and didn't know.

Were enthusiastically greeting Lu Xuan.

Including some who had sneered at him at the last film festival.

Lu Xuan wasn't one to hold grudges.

He simply pretended not to see them and directly ignored them.

Leaving these people very embarrassed.

Seeing this, Li Hao couldn't help but lean in and remind Lu Xuan.

"Don't be so aloof, you might need them in the future."

"No one can stay at the peak forever, right?"

Lu Xuan smiled indifferently.

"They may have their low points."

"But I never will!"
