The Vicious Female Supporting Character and the White Lotus Female Lead: Ch 166, The Dao Path of Demons
Hu Lian reaccounted what he told Luan Qing Xiao and them to Hao Qing again.
Hao Qing was stunned, "You mean, I actually killed your brother. He knew that I was your weakness. In order to drive a wedge between you and me, he pretended to be you and deliberately acted play-boyish in front of me?"
"Yes."
"Your mother wanted to kill me. And in the process of stopping her, you were seriously injured, so you couldn't come find me to explain?"
"Yes."
Hao Qing sighed. She put her hands on Hu Lian's face and rubbed hard at it, turning the fair and tender face of Hu Lian pink, "The current you isn’t someone else pretending to you, right?" Hao Qing asked suspiciously.
"Qing Qing, I really am Hu Lian. Back then, I lied to you that I was called Hu Sheng to tease you because you were the first girl I ever met who didn't know me. With my global popularity, yet you didn’t even recognize me. So I made up a pseudonym to see how long it will take you to realize that I was a superstar."
"Unexpectedly, you didn't notice even after we separated by accident." Hu Lian gently held Hao Qing's cheeks, staring into her eyes with eyes sparkling with a loving light, "Qing Qing, I missed you so much."
Hao Qing's cheeks were also red, "I-I thought you were dead, but sometimes I still dream of you."
Feeling that the two of them won’t say anything that’ll reveal their identities, Luan Qing Xiao removed the soundproof barrier covering them, so everyone could hear their conversation.
"Now that the misunderstanding is resolved. Qing Qing, are you still willing to accept me who loves you like this?" Hu Lian looked at her carefully and asked.
In front of Hu Lian, Hao Qing completely became a little woman. After Hu Lian asked, Hao Qing rapidly nodded, "I do!"
Hu Lian uttered with emotion, "Thank you, Qing Qing."
Right now, only Hu Lian was visible in Hao Qing's eyes. She forgot Hao Long, who was gnashing her teeth behind her, and forgot she’s on the recording site. All she wanted to do at this moment was hug Hu Lian and never be separated from him. "Hu Lian, Hu Lian, don't leave me ever again."
"I’ll never leave you." Hu Lian vowed.
The surrounding people were dumbfounded and envious at the same time.
The only insiders were Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er, while the other three actors and one mentor were stupefied.
Although Hu Lian found his Qing Qing and they were very happy for him, he didn't need to be this affectionate in public.
In just that short minute, they had been stuffed with dog food!
The short film coincidentally finished playing. On stage, Duan Lian Shui asked the audience to begin voting. When the three-minute voting time was over, Duan Lian Shui stood on the stage, holding the result.
"I believe everyone is very curious, who exactly will win the championship among these five outstanding actors? She is— —Nie Zhen'er! Let us all congratulate her!"
"Zhen'er, please come up and say a few words to everyone." Duan Lian Shui raised her head and glanced in Nie Zhen'er’s direction. The camera shifted with her gaze and then her gaze froze.
On the big screen, the figures of Hu Lian and Hao Qing sitting close together were projected.
".. …." For a moment, Duan Lian Shui forgot what to say.
When the audience on the scene saw the image on the big screen, an uproar couldn’t help but arise.
Hao Long clenched his fist. His entire body was about to explode from anger.
He just knew that Hu Lian definitely had a leg with Hao Qing. It’s already decided, he’s going to beat this little white face three times a day!
Hu Lian and Hao Qing only had each other in their eyes. They didn't notice the eyes of other people at all. At the same time the people in the studio were watching them, they also ignored them perfectly and continued being affectionate with one another.
For nearly a minute, Duan Lian Shui fell silent. When she recovered her senses, she immediately requested, "Cameraman, pan the frame to Zhen'er. Everyone, please applaud for the actor champion you all chose, Nie Zhen'er,— —"
Duan Lian Shui's voice was loud enough that most people turned their eyes away after hearing her words, whereas a small portion of people were completely sluggish. There was a fierce ideological struggle in their hearts, which no one could wake them up from.
Nie Zhen'er stood up from her seat and walked onto the stage steadily with a smile on her face.
"Hello everyone, I'm Nie Zhen'er."
A warm applause sounded from below. Nie Zhen'er had successfully attracted most of the attention from Hu Lian and Hao Qing.
"Today, I can stand here and become the champion of [The Path of an Actor] is inseparable from my own efforts, the guidance of Director Xu Jia Shu and Luan Qing Xiao as well as support from you guys."
"It’s you guys who have supported me until this day, from an unknown little actress to a champion actress, through experiencing multiple obstacles. Without you guys, without you, I wouldn’t be able to reach where I am today."
"Thank you!" Nie Zhen'er bowed deeply to the audience.
The audience responded with enthusiastic applause.
"Nie Zhen'er, you got this--" Someone shouted below.
"I will definitely continue doing my best!" Nie Zhen'er smiled and raised her cute little fist.
Everyone couldn't help laughing along with her.
After these five episodes of the show, Nie Zhen'er was like a little child that they watched grow up little by little. They watched her progress and saw her success. At this moment, there was not only happiness in their heart, but also a parent like gratification and pride.
See, I watched this little girl grow up and her future will only get better and better.
Nie Zhen'er walked off the stage with the trophy. The first thing was to give the two cups to Xu Jia Shu and Luan Qing Xiao, "Director Xu, Qing Xiao, this is the trophy we earned together."
Xu Jia Shu lamented, "Zhen'er's acting is simply improving at such a fast pace that it can't be summed up by just talent. Qing Xiao, you’ve picked up a treasure. Definitely cherish her."
Luan Qing Xiao replied, "Director Xu, even if Zhen'er's acting skills aren’t good, I’ll still cherish her."
After Nie Zhen'er stepped down, the next phase was to let the other four actors make their speeches.
When the three actors went up and finished speaking, Hu Lian and Hao Qing were still not done being affectionate.
Luan Qing Xiao received Duan Lian Shui's look for help and reluctantly went to call Hao Qing.
"Sister Qing, Hu Lian needs to speak on stage. Can't you wait until the show is finished to get all intimated?" Luan Qing Xiao turned around and nudged the two of them.
Hao Qing finally woke up after hearing Luan Qing Xiao's familiar voice. She pushed Hu Lian's body away with both hands, "Heard that, it's time for you to be on stage. Be good on stage, my son produced this show. If you mess up, then don't even think about Son calling you Dad."
Hu Lian immediately lost all thoughts of being romantic. He nodded his head solemnly, "Don't worry, I’ll never embarrass my son!"
Luan Qing Xiao whispered, "Haven’t you guys already embarrassed him enough… …?"
When Hu Lian came on stage, the smile on his face couldn't be suppressed no matter what. So he decided to simply show a brilliant and wide grin.
He accepted the microphone and softly said, "Everyone probably knows that I came to participate in [The Path of an Actor] to find my lover Qing Qing. These days, the program group has received many calls claiming to be Qing Qing, but these people are all not Qing Qing. Just when I was about to fall into hopelessness, just now, my Qing Qing appeared before my eyes. She came to find me."
"Here, I want to thank you for your tolerance and thank you for your blessings. Qing Qing and I will definitely be happy in the future."
After Hu Lian finished speaking, he earnestly bowed ninety degrees before returning the microphone to Duan Lian Shui and walking off the stage.
The camera recorded the silhouette of him walking towards Hao Qing. Everyone could see the determination and happiness in his heart.
