âBang~â A huge shattering sound echoed, and Ye Xian thought she had already hit the ground. In a flash of lightning pain, she shouted with all her might, âBo Tingshenââ
Then, a powerful sense of weightlessness hit her, the world spun, and she felt dizzy⦠It seemed like she was floating, her body felt weightless, and a familiar voice, distorted, rang in her ears, âXianxian!!!â
From far to near, so close it was as if it was right beside herâ¦
âWhooshââ
The audience erupted in gasps once again, perhaps in awe of a narrow escape, or maybe shaken by the scene.
Ye Xian slowly opened her eyes and saw a noble and strikingly handsome face, stripped of all previous composure. At this moment, the black pupils were dilated, the lips were pale, and even the steadfast hands holding her trembled slightly.
Her eyes welled up with tears instantly, blurring her vision. She clung tightly to his neck, burying deep into his chest, feeling his breath, heartbeat, and the warmth of his skinâ¦
Bo Tingshen, Bo Tingshen, itâs Bo Tingshen.
Just now, she thought she was going to die and would never see him again.
âCEO, Iâm so scaredâ¦â
The petite woman curled up in his embrace, trembling and whimpering like a wounded animal, as if an invisible hand was firmly gripping Bo Tingshenâs heart, causing it to painfully twitch.
âBaby, itâs okay, itâs okay now.â
âDonât be afraid, donât be afraid, Iâm here.â
Bo Tingshen held her tightly, kissing her gently on the top of her head and cheek, comforting her continuously. His large hand holding her dress desperately tried to steady but couldnât stop trembling.
Heaven knows how his heart felt empty when he saw her fall from the stage just now.
Pang Kai stood five or six meters away, his legs numb.
Just like all the staff and stars who rushed over, he let out a long sigh of relief a few minutes later.
Thankfully, thankfullyâ¦
He glanced at the heavy camera machine that had fallen to the ground, forcibly interrupting the live broadcast, and recalled the terrifying incident that occurred in mere seconds.
Ye Xian walked onto the high platform, her body suddenly started to sway, and the CEO rushed over almost instantly, his figure swift as lightning, colliding with the heavy machine that was difficult for more than a dozen people to move.
The massive arc of his shoulder impact and the tremendous violent roar made Pang Kaiâs scalp tingle even now, unable to imagine the explosive power the CEO had when he rushed over just now.
Just glad, glad the CEO insisted on attending the Golden Crown Gala, glad he sat in a position close to Ye Xianâ¦
Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Ye Xian suddenly fell off the stage, Bo Tingshen collided with the machine to save her, the Golden Crown Gala was forcibly interrupted⦠It took quite a while for everyone present to calm down a bit and recover from the accident, their attention gradually focused on Bo Tingshen, who continuously comforted Ye Xian.
Something seems offâ¦
Though President Bo is Ye Xianâs boss, and saving her is perfectly reasonable.
But⦠the incident happened so urgently, and the Golden Crown Stage was so high. How did President Bo manage to react faster than the nearest staff and, without a second thought, catch Ye Xian?
In major crises, peopleâs instinctive choice is usually self-preservation. Such a selfless rescue without regard for consequences, not even blood relatives might do that.
Moreover, itâs been over ten minutes, and President Bo is still holding Ye Xian, comforting her forehead, occasionally kissing, appearing incredibly intimate, clearly indicating an unusual relationship!
Could Ye Xian and President Bo be a couple?!
Just as they speculated, they suddenly saw⦠Bo Tingshen princess-carrying Ye Xian, step by step walking onto the platform.
That noble and impressive tall back seemed to declare sovereignty to everyone.
Ye Xian, is my girl.
No one can touch her.
Could they actually be a real couple?!
Ye Xian is in a relationship. This is huge news. If her partner were anyone else, the reporters and media present would risk everything to get the scoop, but if itâs President Bo, well, forget itâ¦
If he doesnât want to make it public, anyone who does it for him will be nearing the end of their career.
âAre you really okay?â
Bo Tingshen gently placed Ye Xian in front of the microphone.
Ye Xian shook her head, âIâm okay, Iâm not afraid anymore.â
The man clung tightly to her hand, his lowered eyes still showing obvious concern. Ye Xian couldnât help but smile faintly, âDonât worry, Iâve changed my shoes, Iâm really not afraid anymore. If we donât continue, mom and dad will be worried without knowing what happened.â
âIâll be right below, Iâll pick you up after youâve finished speaking.â
Bo Tingshen pulled her back into his arms, and Ye Xian listened to his strong heartbeat, momentarily unsure if she was more shaken up or deeply moved.
He was more afraid than she was when she fell.
What had she done to deserve such a wonderful Bo Tingshen?
âOkay.â
In the venue, all the stars were whispering in shock, only Le Hui seemed unwell, guilty for something not accomplished, flustered and regretful.
Ye Xian is really luckyâ¦
The staff was preparing to activate the backup streaming machine. Ye Xian adjusted her emotions in front of the microphone. As Le Hui looked at the stage again, she met a sinister, venomous gaze.
Against the light, Bo Tingshen walked down the stairs, his dark pupils sharply pointed and icy, staring as if looking at something dead, surreptitiously extending a bloody aura from the deepest part.
Maybe it was that terrifying gaze, or perhaps the guilt within her, Le Huiâs legs went soft, she stepped back, her teeth chattering unconsciously, and quickly averted her eyes.
President Bo canât be looking at her, right? He canât be looking at her, right? Heâs just in a bad mood because of the situation with Ye Xianâ¦
Earlier she had made a move beneath the skirt, and in broad daylight, with so many cameras, not one captured her, not a single person knew; he surely couldnât possiblyâ¦
Even while reassuring herself repeatedly, Le Hui was terrified by that gaze, hurriedly bidding farewell to her companions and fleeing back to the dressing room.
I donât know if itâs because of guilt, but she always feels like thereâs a pair of footsteps steadily following her, heavy and rhythmic, like the ominous notes of a devil.
Once in the lounge, she hurriedly packed her things.
The assistant looked puzzled, âSister Hui, why are you leaving earlyâ¦â
âMove, I have something urgent!â
Le Hui grabbed her bag and was just about to leave when the door was suddenly pushed open by a group of people, slowly revealing a tall and distinguished figure, his expression as cold as a rakshasa from hell.
âAh!â
Le Hui was so frightened that she fell to the ground.
âWho⦠who are youâ¦â
The assistant stammered, only to have her mouth covered.
âSnapââ
âAh!!!â
In the lounge, a sharp crack of bone breaking and a womanâs heart-wrenching screams were heard almost immediately.
âNo, no, my leg! My faceâ¦â
The assistant watched the blood-stained eyebrow razor slowly slide from the manâs hand, terrified, her eyes wide open, face pale, and she fainted on the spot.
âOK!â
On site, the filming equipment was tuned, and the director gestured to the host, restoring the CGTV Golden Crown Ceremony live channel. The fans, who were on the verge of a breakdown after seeing Ye Xian wobble on the edge of the stage and then watching the screen instantly cut out, finally relaxed as they saw Ye Xian shining brightly on the stage.
But⦠it seemed like there were tears in her eyes.
Xianxian baby, whatâs wrong?!
The observant Yeâs Fans noticed and urgently asked in the comments.
Ye Xian accepted the trophy from the award presenter and bowed deeply to the live camera, âIâm sorry, Iâm unworthy of receiving this trophy.â
For the first time in over half a year, she publicly apologized for the issue regarding her identity, and unexpectedly, it was on the award podium, leaving the fans heartbroken.
Darling, you donât need to apologize. We stopped caring a long time ago. We like you no matter if youâre a boy or a girl!
Wuuu, I cried, I cried, Xianxian, youâre such a big idiot! Itâs really nothing you need to worry about!
The moment the fairy lowered her head, the entire world was wrong!
âWatching the neat and moving messages on the big screen is truly heartwarming. It reassures us once again that the love between fans and idols is always mutual,â the host said. âSo, Ye Xian, do you have any thoughts on receiving this trophy today?â
âFirst of all, I thank my fans for supporting me without hesitation when the storm hit and accepting me unconditionally after my identity was revealed.
Secondly, I thank my family for being by my side during my most disheartened and sad times, helping, comforting, and encouraging me, along with my teammatesâ¦â
The camera switched to FOR, all three of them firmly gazing at the radiant figure on stage.
âTelling me: Not a single piece of clover can be missing, I will always be a part of them.â
âAnd many friends who support me, like Teacher Yue Yang, who came to me with scripts⦠I am truly touched and grateful.â
Ye Xian spoke earnestly, noticing a dark figure slowly stopping in the crowd beneath the stage.
Despite the mottled light and shadows and the surging crowd, she could still feel their eyes meeting, gazing at each other, a brilliant smile appearing on her lips.
âBut I want to thank one person the most.â
âOur meeting wasnât pleasant, and our time together wasnât completely joyful either. At first, he always liked to bully me, boss me around, making me feel extremely annoyedâ¦â
âIn my heart, itâs completely joyful, I like it so much.â
âBut I never expected that such a person would spare no effort to help me when I encountered difficulties, patiently guide me when I was lost and confused, and be the first to rush in when I was in danger, always unconditionally fulfilling all my requests, always offering me the best of everything, spoiling me like a little child, and becoming the most important person in my life.â
âHe once said he had a deep and cold door in his heart, but now itâs opened for me. Meeting him, I am extremely fortunate.â
âItâs your blazing light that shone into the door of my heart, making me willingly become a prisoner of love.â
âIâm the truly fortunate one, whoâs plucked the stars.â
Bo Tingshen gazed intently at the person on stage, the passion in his eyes almost scorching the darkness.
âHuff huff~â
Suddenly, a sound of urgent breathing came from beside him, as Shangguan Yunli hurriedly arrived at the event from Australia, just in time to catch this scene.
âNot too late! Ye Xian has made it so obvious, arenât you going to go up?â
Bo Tingshen: âA storm has just passed, she needs time to solidify her fanbase.â
Besides, a confession like this, itâs for him to make.
Shangguan Yunli turned his face in surprise to look at him, only to see the manâs dark pupils filled completely with Ye Xian.
He couldnât help but smile. Was this still the Bo Tingshen he knew?
Usually, if Ye Xian wanted to announce his existence, he would be overjoyed, but now he can actually endure it.
âTingshen, I think youâve changed.â
âHow so?â
âSince meeting Ye Xian, youâve fallen from the supreme pedestal to become a ânormalâ man with flesh, warmth, and weaknesses.â
Bo Tingshen smiled, âThatâs perfect.â
It was his long-cherished dream of earthly happiness.
