Chapter 59
Yu Wan’s words surprised Li Shen. He couldn’t help but sigh, “Why didn’t I think of that earlier?”
“.....”
Now that she thinks about it, if she doesn’t move there, Li Shen will most likely bring his dog and move into her house. Yu Wan finally decided to move into Li Shen’s residence. After all, his house is bigger and Lili will have more space to run around.
But the next day is the Music Awards Ceremony. Yu Wan plans to wait for the award ceremony to end before she moves in.
Li Shen was nominated for three awards, all of which are pretty significant. Yu Wan didn’t expect that her mother would pay attention to the award ceremony as well. She called Yu Wan and asked her about the probability of Li Shen winning an award.
“....How would I know? I’m not part of the judging panel.”
Yu Wan’s mother sighed, seemingly disappointed in her, “Li Shen’s didn’t tell you? I heard these awards ceremonies decided on the winners beforehand.”
“It depends on the award ceremony. Didn’t the Music Awards Ceremony already speak out and renounced the rumors.”
“Oh, I heard about that. It seems that Li Shen’s agent likes him?”
“....”
After having a celebrity as a future son-in-law, her mother actually started paying attention to gossip in the entertainment industry.
“Li Shen already changed agents. You should spend less time on the Internet. Is mahjong not fun anymore?”
“....” Yu Wan’s mother was silent for a while. Then, she went back to the initial topic at hand, “So will Li Shen win an award tonight? He asked us to wait for him to win a few more prizes.”
Yu Wan pursed her lips, “In my heart, he will win all of them.”
“Oh.” Yu Wan’s mother calmly replied, “But you just said you’re not part of the judging panel.”
“....”
After hanging up the call with her mother, Yu Wan hesitated for a second before sending Li Shen a message.
Lily: My mother said they are also watching the award ceremony tonight. You have to perform well!
Li Shen was getting ready to go to the ceremony. When he saw her message, he smiled and sent her a selfie.
Ah Shen: I already dressed up. I will try to stand out tonight.
Lily: Hahaha, so handsome.
Lily: When the camera points to you, remember to smile handsomely! My mom likes handsome guys too!
Ah Shen: Yes [ok]
This is the second award ceremony Li Shen participated in but he is obviously more nervous than last time. Not only because the awards he was nominated for holds greater importance but Yu Wan’s family is also watching him on TV.
Last time he boasted to Yu Wan’s mother that he will win several important awards this year. He said this due to the confidence he had of his performance this year but at this moment, he still couldn’t help being nervous.
After his car stopped in front of the red carpet, he took a deep breath and got out of the car. The reporters and fans who had been waiting on both sides of the red carpet for a long time saw him come out and immediately started taking pictures.
Li Shen isn’t a celebrity who likes to stay on the red carpet for too long. In the past, he would walk straight through the red carpet and don’t pay much attention to the cameras around him. But today, he remembered that Yu Wan’s family will be watching the event on the TV. He followed Yu Wan’s instructions and slowed down as he waved and smile at the cameras.
The fans were definitely excited and tried to capture every expression and movement of Li Shen. The media also took advantage of this opportunity to take as many photos of him as possible. Besides, as long as the news has Li Shen’s name on it, it will definitely gain attention. Not to mention, he might win three awards tonight.
The scene heightened with the appearance of Li Shen and the bright flashes from the cameras lit up the red carpet. Li Shen took the pen from the emcee and signed his name on the background sign.
The host waited for him to finish signing before walking up to him for an interview. In front of the TV which is displaying the ceremony, Yu Wan’s grandmother praised Li Shen’s close-up, “Wanwan’s boyfriend is getting more and more handsome. When looking for a boyfriend, one must pay attention to their looks.”
“....” Yu Wan’s mother turned and glanced at her. When you were educating me in the past, didn’t you say to look for someone who is reliable?
Li Shen entered the venue after the brief interview and found his seat. He straightened his clothes and sat down.
Gu Xin was sitting next to him. They are both nominated for the best album, most popular singer, and best song. Li Shen’s Heartstring remained popular the entire year; therefore, everyone believes that he will win the best song award.
The award that carries the most suspense is the best album of the year. This is also the most important award of the award show.
After Li Shen sat down, Gu Xin saw him adjust his breath a few times and couldn’t help but ask him, “Are you nervous? I didn’t think that you would put much care into the awards.”
Li Shen loosed his collar a little and said to Gu Xin, “Whether I win an award tonight is directly related to whether I can get married in the future.”
"..." Gu Xin was silent for a moment, and said, "Even if you say that I won't give you the award."
“....You’re funny.”
Gu Xin curled his lips and didn’t say anything. He knows that Li Shen wants to win a few more awards so that he can be more confident in his relationship with Yu Wan in the future. “Even if you don’t win, there are other ways to get married.”
Li Shen looked at him as if waiting for him to continue. Gu Xin smiled, “
“....” Thank you for your suggestion.
Other celebrities start to enter the venue one after the other. Li Shen and Gu Xin did not continue the conversation. After a while, the award ceremony officially began.
This is the first time Yu Wan watched the Music Awards Ceremony live. Even Gu Xin’s wedding was pushed aside. Li Shen released his first album this year and it was also the first time he was nominated for the best album of the year. Even without the pressure from her family, she still hoped he will win the award.
The Best Album of the Year award is the last one to be announced. Li Shen had already gone on stage twice to receive the award for the most popular singer and best song. Before the winner of the best album award was announced, Gu Xin said to him, “If you also get this award, I might consider going with another plan out of revenge.”
Li Shen, “....”
Of course, the plan Gu Xin is talking about is his wedding plan. Li Shen pondered for a moment and said, “You already paid the deposit so we are not at a loss.”
“....”
Li Shen’s attention returned to the stage again. In addition to Gu Xin, Ding Meng, and Sima Xiaoxiao were also nominated for the award. The three of them represent the music industry’s highest status. It is difficult for other singers to rise in the ranks and join them.
But previously Ding Meng was able to conquer the music scene and joined Gu Xin and Sima Xiaoxiao high up in the music scene. Now, he has the chance to also break the power of the three.
After the guest presenter for the award took the stage, Yu Wan clasped her hand tightly in nervousness. Her phone “dinged” twice. Yu Wan didn’t move and simply glanced at the screen.
Ningning: Ahhhh! Are you watching the Music Awards Ceremony! The best album of the year is about to be announced! I’m so nervous!!
Yu Wan, “....”
Since when does Zhou Xiaoning pay attention to the music scene?
But she doesn’t have time to think about it now. She saw the guest presenter on stage getting ready to open the envelope.
“–––”
“The winner of this year’s best album of the year is–––”
The scene was extremely quiet as both singers and fans present waited with bated breath for his next words. The camera swept through the candidates one by one and finally remained fixed on Li Shen after the presenter announced his name.
Yu Wan blanked. It wasn’t until Li Shen stood up and applause and screams entered her ears that she realized Li Shen had won!!
She picked up her phone and replied to Zhou Xiaoning’s message.
Yu Wan: Ahhh! I’m watching it right now! Li Shen won!!
Ningning: Yes! I saw it too! He won three awards tonight!! So handsome!
Ningning: ….?? Huh?? Yu Wan?? I sent the text message to you??
Yu Wan: ….Then who were you trying to send it to [smile]
Ningning: ….
Because of the awkward relationship between Yu Wan and Li Shen, Zhou Xiaoning never took the initiative to bring up Li Shen in their conversations. But Li Shen is really popular. Many of her colleagues like him and Zhou Xiaoning were not immune to going with the wind.
Lily
Ningning: Why does it sound so natural when you mention Li Shen? Is the Lily from last time you?
Yu Wan: ….
Yu Wan: Li Shen is going on stage to give his speech!
She clumsily changed the subject.
Ningning: Okay, I get it :)
She long knew they were going to get back together sooner or later!
Li Shen gave three award acceptance speeches this evening. This kind of grand occasion only happened once before with Gu Xin in the years when the music industry was at a desolate state. Nowadays, the top singers in the music world have remained steady, and newcomers have increased due to the appearance of various talent shows. It is almost impossible to recreate the same legendary scene as Gu Xin did back then.
Even Gu Xin himself may not be able to reproduce the same phenomenon.
But tonight, Li Shen did it. The music circle will have to be shuffled again.
Li Shen was still performing Park, the title song of his album when Yu Wan’s mother called her. Yu Wan answered the call and called out “Mom” only to realize that the person on the end of the phone was actually her grandmother.
“Wanwan, I agree to this marriage. Quickly bring this young man home for grandma to see.”
“...”
Li Shen is really incredible. He has fans of all ages from elementary school kids to elders like her grandmother.
"Don't wait for the New Year, I heard from your mother that his birthday is coming up soon? Ask him if he is free for his birthday, and I will personally cook for him."
"..." Yu Wan didn't expect her grandmother to be so anxious, but she still said, "I will ask him. If he has time, I will take him to see you on his birthday."
"Okay, then grandma should dress up a bit."
“....Okay.” No matter how old a woman gets, their heart will forever remain young.
Yu Wan hung up the call. While she watches Li Shen sing on stage, she took out her phone and sent him a message.
Lily: Congratulations on your awards!! It must have been tiring having to go on stage and give a speech three times! But, my grandmother has been enamored by you. She said she wants to cook for you on your birthday, are you free?!
