The audience started laughing.
After that, the emcee looked at the audience and everyone shushed for a moment.
Many people took out their tickets out of reflex and looked at the picture of a head silhouette with a question mark on it!
The tense atmosphere suddenly grew light and cheerful.
The emcee was very good at controlling the atmosphere. After everyone laughed, he became serious again. The voice coming out of the microphone was even more solemn than before.
āLadies and gentlemen, I would like to say that at this moment, I am excited to announce the name of our mystery guestā¦ I believe there are many people who have long heard of his name, just like me, but we donāt know how he looks like yetā¦ā
ā¦ Everyone was waiting impatiently already!
The deliberate tense atmosphere created by the emcee made everyone feel nervous.
The emcee huffed a puff slowly.
āPlease welcome! Our mystery guest, the author of the online literature phenomenon novel āThe Grey Listā and āThe White ListāāSecond Young Master Mu!ā
That sparked off a commotion.
Waves of applause followed one after another!
The atmosphere was once again pushed to a climax.
Only the emceeās emotional voice continued to influence the audienceās emotionsā¦
āYes, weāre his fans but we have never seen how he looked like. All of us are curious how Second Young Master Mu look likeā¦ After all, we grew up reading his books!ā
In a burst of laughter, another wave of applause emerged.
Countless people clapped till their hands reddened then they saw the man where the spotlights were focused onā¦
They showed it on the screen.
He was tall and handsome, elegant and cool in a suit. He was like a natural ball of light that attracted eyeballs; he instantly grabbed the attention of everyoneā¦
The most striking thing was his pair of eyes that were bright and sharp like an eagle. When combined with his half-smile, one would naturally get attracted. He had a strong and extraordinary aura, noble and distant. He was obviously on the stage, yet he felt like an outsiderā¦
āGoodness! This is Second Young Master Mu? Oh my, Master Mu is so young! Iāll take back my words earlier!ā The emcee knew how to banter to ease and warm up the atmosphere.
No other author could hold a candle to the amount of reverence that the readers had for Second Young Master Mu.
Many people held their mobile phones and started snapping.
Second Young Master Mu was standing on stage coolly.
āThank you emcee, thank you, everyone! Iām sorry if being young and handsome shocked everyone, I apologize!ā
āNo, you donāt have to, youāre our idolā¦ our idol is right! Whatever the idol says is right!ā The emcee continued to tease him.
āOur emcee can really joke! Actually, the reason why Iām here is because of my idolā¦ā
Second Young Master Mu had an idol as well?
The audience were in an uproar.
Everyone was thinking which celebrity was his idol.
Xie Wanwan, Ye Lun, or someone else?
Xie Wanwan and Ye Lun was a part of the cast in his work āThe Grey Listā; maybe he was just trying to do some promotion?
Many people started to speculate inside their headā¦
Only Xiang Wanās back was stiff.
ā¦ Bai Muchuan, this silly goose!
ā¦ Why didnāt he tell her heās coming to this event?
ā¦ This surprise was too shocking for her!
On the stage, the emcee looked at Second Young Master Mu, full of admiration and curiosity.
āI think every one of us here is very curious. Who is our Second Young Master Muās idol?ā
Second Young Master Mu gave a casual glance at the audience. āMy idol isā¦ the winner of the Best Originality Award of the year that Iām about to announce.ā
The emcee replied gleefully, āSecond Young Master Muās idol will also be our idol! Wow, our friends at the audience are too warm and enthusiasticā¦ I need to trouble our security brothers and ask everyone to control their emotions. Please donāt keep squeezing to the front of the stage. Donāt forget that this is a live broadcast; if I, the emcee, failed to control this situation, not only I will be shamed, I might also lose my job, and I wonāt be able to have my favorite chicken wings anymoreā¦ā
There were really many people who liked Second Young Master Mu.
Now that they saw that Second Young Master was actually so handsome and young, the fans started to be in a frenzy.
They could say that the level of commotion that Second Young Master Mu brought about was even higher than what Ye Lun had sparked off earlierā¦
Just as the emcee spoke, several female fans who sat behind were sneakily trying to squeeze forward; the security officers were frantically trying to stop themā¦
That was why the emcee brought up this issue in a funny manner.
Then he looked at his watch.
āI believe that the arrival of Second Young Master Mu did not disappoint everyoneā¦ So letās go on to the next stage.
āWho will win the Best Originality Award of the year? Weāll come back after a short breakā¦
āIām just joking! So now, letās invite Second Young Master Mu, to announce the Best Originality Award of the year! Second Young Master Mu, please!ā
There was another round of laughter from the audience as the emcee tried to create some jokes.
Bai Muchuan took the microphone and looked at the card he was holding.
āI hereby announce that the Best Originality Award of the year goes toāXiang Gongzi Wanās winning novel āMurder The Dream Guyā!ā
Xiang Wan felt dumbfounded!
Wellā¦ was this according to the script?
How did such a heavyweight award land on her?
Not to mention, the one who announced the award and presented it to her was her idolā¦ Second Young Master Mu!
It was also her manā¦ Bai Muchuan!
This moment felt like she had gone from hell to heavenā¦ She froze in her seat for three full seconds with no movement.
The emcee looked toward her direction. āHas our award winner is so taken by surprise that she has not regained her senses?ā
āLet me repeat once again. The winner of the Best Originality Award of the year, Xiang Gongzi Wan, please come up to the stage!ā
āQuick, go up now!ā Fang Yuanyuan held Xiang Wanās shoulders. āJust go! Donāt be so weak! Youāre getting an award, not going to the execution ground!ā
Of course, Xiang Wan was not weak. She was simply too astounded!
She got up slowly and looked at the man on the stage. Then she lifted her gown a little and walked up the stageā¦
It felt that the whole world was applauding for her, but her ears felt unusually peaceful.
There was only him in her world.
He reached out a hand to her.
Yup, Second Young Master Mu went to receive her at the side of the stage.
He took Xiang Wanās hand and walked to the stage together.
That stirred up another round of thunderous applause and cheers!
āSecond Young Master Mu is such a gentleman!ā
āThe most important thing isā¦ heās really dashing!ā
āHeās even more handsome than Ye Lun, right? Tell me, am I the only one who feels this way?ā
āYouāre definitely not alone! Master Mu is better looking than Ye Lun and Yu Ningā¦ heās the most handsome of all men in the universe!ā
āAwww! My goosebumps are coming out from all this excitement! My Young Master Muā¦ is actually so good looking! Ahhh, Young Master Mu!ā
āI canāt take it anymore! Oh, my godā¦ that Xiang Gongziā¦ā
Of course, Xiang Wan and Bai Muchuan could not hear what the audience was talking about!
Under the emceeās lead, two tall and beautiful female ushers took the trophy and the certificate as they came on stageā¦ On the huge screen at either side of the hall showed slides of Xiang Wanās photo and Bai Muchuanās face. Of course, there was also the book cover of āMurder The Dream Guyā and the synopsis with an introduction about its contentā¦
Thus, one by one, the major cases in the novel that overlapped with reality appeared again in everybodyās mind.
There was another round of applause!
This time, the audience applauded for āMurder The Dream Guyā!
Tears filled Xiang Wanās eyes. She was so overwhelmed that she was biting her lower lip. She did not know what to say.
āCongratulations, Xiang Gongzi Wan! Congratulations āMurder The Dream Guyā!ā
The emcee spoke loudly as ever as he tried controlling the electrifying atmosphere in the hall!
Bai Muchuan handed the trophy and award certificate to Xiang Wan. She bowed at him as thanksā¦
When she lifted her head, she saw him extending his arms out for a hugā¦
Xiang Wan was dazed for a moment!
She took a step forward and gave him a light hug.
āThank you, thank you!ā she said.
āYou silly! Iām your manā¦ā Bai Muchuan spoke softly in her ear. āI wonāt allow anyone to bully you!ā
The emcee couldnāt hear what they were whispering, but they clearly hugged each other.
With a chuckle, he started to tease them.
āI never expect our Second Young Master Mu would be so excited to meet his idol!? Even after a hug, he still couldnāt bear to let goā¦ Second Young Master Mu, youāre my idol, can Iā¦ also ask for a hug?ā
This sudden hilarious request made the audience burst out in laughter.
Bai Muchuan and Xiang Wan slowly let go and smiled at each other.
Under the dazzling stage lights, both of them bowed at the audience and were preparing to leave the stage.
The emcee walked up to them. āPlease hold on!ā
Xiang Wan and Bai Muchuan looked at each other quietly.
āWellā¦ā the emcee smiled. āIs it alright to ask both of you some questions?ā
Xiang Wan replied, āSureā¦ā
Bai Muchuan nodded with a smile.
āXiang Gongzi Wan is a rather unique pen name,ā said the emcee, āitās got character. May I ask Xiang Gongziā¦ when you first started to write a novel, how did you come up with this pen name?ā
Xiang Wan took over the microphone and pressed her lips together shyly. āThis is because there is a dashing and well-learned young master that lives within me. I want to become someone like himā¦ā
āI see,ā replied the emcee, and he asked another question. āSo may I ask who is this dashing and well-learned young master that you speak of?ā
Xiang Wan said in a half-joking, half-serious manner as she glanced at Bai Muchuan, āItās Second Young Master Mu! Truth is, Iām also like everyone here, I grew up reading Second Young Master Muās books!ā
āHaha!ā The emcee laughed and looked at Bai Muchuan. āDo you have any feelings and thoughts about what Xiang Gongzi just said?ā
Bai Muchuan propped his forehead but did not take the microphone. Instead, he lowered his head and spoke into the microphone that Xiang Wan was holding, in a lazy tone.
āSo Iām actually living inside Xiang Gongziās heart for a long time. Mm, Iām very honoredā¦ā
Living inside her heart? The words he used sounded strange.
Nope, that sounded way too ambiguous!
The emcee was a very sensitive person!
He immediately continued the topic.
āSeems like the two of you have an affinity with each other!ā he asked teasingly, āWhatās next? Does Second Young Master Mu have any other thoughts about our Xiang Gongzi?ā
Bai Muchuan answered, āYes.ā
There was a momentary pause, and he suddenly placed a hand on Xiang Wanās shoulder.
āWell, Iām preparing to end my bachelorhood of close to 30 years! Thank you, everyone! Iām honored to have this chance to present an award personally to my girlfriend! Iām thrilled to share my joy with everyone! At the same time, we also hope to gain everyoneās blessing!ā
That news was like an explosion!
Under an unexpected situationā¦
This was like a bomb that detonated at an unbelievable rate!
It stunned even the emcee for at least three seconds before he regained his composure.
āThatāsā¦! Congratulations! Congratulations to Second Young Master Mu and Xiang Gongziā¦ Umm, when both of your pen names are put together, why did I feel that thereās a feeling of brotherly ties in it?ā
Well, the emcee was truly fantastic!
The stagnant atmosphere earlier was lifted in an instant!
There was also a seemingly endless cheering and applause amid their laughter.
Meanwhile, the forum welcomed another huge wave of posts!
Even if it was a Mary Sue plot, it would not be as sweet, warm and dramatic.
The reversal of events happened so fastā¦
Xiang Gongziās reader chat group exploded!
Second Young Master Muās reader chat group exploded!
Xiang Gongziās fans who were silent could finally come out to retaliate.
Ride on Second Young Master Muās coattails? The real him showed up.
Seduce Hu Bandao? Hurhur, if one had a boyfriend like Second Young Master Mu, would she need to seduce Hu Bandao?
The rumor was now proven false due to this wonderful twist!
Second Young Master Muās loyal fans directly turned around to attack those keyboard warriors who slandered Xiang Gongzi.
Some keyboard warriors who had just joined to mock Xiang Wan left quietly.
As for those wifey fans of Second Young Master Mu, they did not know if they should be happy or sadā¦
The reason for their happiness was because they had guessed correctly that Second Young Master was really a handsome dude!
As for their tears, it was because the first day their handsome idol revealed himself was also the day he revealed that he was already taken.
After they finished cheering, crying, and kicking up a fussā¦
They also had a reversal of rolesā¦
āNo matter what, Second Young Master Mu is our idol. Even if some are unhappy and some didnāt like the person he loved, we canāt just let anyone hurl abuses at her like thisā¦ā
āYouāre right! By making all those vicious remarks at his girlfriend, it is no different from hurling abuse at our beloved Second Young Master Mu!ā
āWeāve already said weāll love Second Young Master Mu foreverā¦ we canāt leave him just because he has a girlfriend nowā¦ā
āRightā¦ but I still feel terrible about it. I feel empty and I donāt think I have the energy to fight the keyboard warriorsā¦ā
āDonāt feel bad. At least Second Young Master Mu likes women, and sheās a beautiful one. Itās so much better than him liking a guy, right? If we canāt even win against a guy, isnāt that worse?ā
āThis is so rightā¦ Letās go fight for Second Young Master Mu and get those b*tches to shut up!ā
āMy dear sisters, please go on without me first! I need to ādrainā my tears and be alone for a moment before I can helpā¦ā
