Chapter 649: She Was Afraid That the Person Who Comes Up the Stage Would Be Li Muyang
The sound of knocking rang out, and Su Manman’s voice rang out. “Lin Nuan, are you ready?”
“Su Manman, don’t disturb them. She’ll know when it’s time to head up to the stage. Let’s go!” Song Cheng couldn’t help but speak up when he saw Su Manman with her ear to the door, trying to listen in.
Fu Huai’an kissed Lin Nuan’s head. “Go on. Don’t worry. I’ll be watching you from the studio!”
Fu Huai’an’s words made Lin Nuan feel a lot more at ease…
…
By the time Lin Nuan returned to the stage, she could no longer see Li Muyang among the audience.
Lin Nuan spotted Fu Huai’an, who was in a hidden corner near the studio’s entrance, almost immediately. She smiled, and her heart felt at ease.
The production crew and the hosts were split into two teams. Lin Nuan was put in the same team as Su Manman.
Although Su Manman protected Lin Nuan throughout the games, Lin Nuan wasn’t a good-for-nothing and could always clinch victory when their team’s score was so low that it appeared as if they were going to lose. She won cheers from all the audience members.
This was especially so in the segment where they had to do quick calculations. Lin Nuan could be said to be the one in-charge of intellect in the team. Her calculation speed was fast and accurate, making everyone speechless.
There were a few times after Lin Nuan clinched the victory that she looked in Fu Huai’an’s direction. She saw Fu Huai’an’s proud expression, and her ears turned red.
After the variety show was over, the impression that Lin Nuan gave everyone had changed from the initial cool and lofty impression to that of being calm, wise, and intelligent.
There were even people who dug up Lin Nuan’s high school results. They didn’t expect that Lin Nuan was actually Haicheng’s top scholar in science for her high school examinations.
“We mentioned before that the guest who performed the best today would get the most heartwarming present in the world. Let’s ask the audience, who was number one in the games today?”
The host knew how to spruce up the atmosphere. He dashed to the front of the stage and pointed the microphone in the direction of Lin Nuan’s fans.
“Lin Nuan! Lin Nuan! Lin Nuan! Lin Nuan!”
All of the audience members uniformly shouted out Lin Nuan’s name.
Lin Nuan held the microphone and smiled brightly as she did a 90-degree bow toward the audience. “Thank you, everyone, thank you!”
“That’s right! The best performer in the games today was our Lin Nuan!” The host smiled and walked up to Lin Nuan. “Let’s have our Nuan Nuan give an award acceptance speech!”
Lin Nuan smiled and took a look at the host while saying in a probing manner, “Thank you… CCTV MTV?”
The audience broke out in laughter.
Lin Nuan’s fans chattered amongst themselves, saying that their G.o.ddess was very cute.
Even the host couldn’t hold back his laughter. When his colleague brought up the present intended for Lin Nuan, he took the box and handed it to her, telling her to open it up.
She opened the box, and there were two exquisite-looking pendants lying inside. Lin Nuan took one out. It was made of silver and wasn’t considered expensive. However, the craftsmans.h.i.+p was extremely detailed, complicated, and exquisite. Lin Nuan liked it a lot.
“Nuan Nuan, open up the pendant and take a look!” The host stood next to Lin Nuan, seeming to want to see her expression after she had opened up the pendant.
“What’s inside?” Lin Nuan looked at the host doubtfully. She couldn’t hold back her smile as she opened it up.
There was a drawing of three people in the pendant. There was Lin Nuan, Tuan Tuan, and Fu Huai’an. It was a digital drawing, and the smiles of the family of three were so happy that it made everyone intoxicated.
Lin Nuan was surprised and raised her head to look in Fu Huai’an’s direction. However, Fu Huai’an’s gaze pa.s.sed by her and looked behind her…
Lin Nuan followed Fu Huai’an’s gaze and turned to look at the big screen behind her. It was the family portrait that was embedded in the necklace pendant.
It was a complete family portrait with Lin Nuan hugging Tuan Tuan and Fu Huai’an standing behind them with his arms wrapped around both Lin Nuan and Tuan Tuan. The drawing was very detailed and of high quality. It showed that the person who drew this family portrait had really put a lot of effort into it.
“Nuan Nuan, this was drawn by one of your fans. That fan also pleaded Venerable Konglong for a very long time before Venerable Konglong agreed to carve the two pendants for her. It’s said that your name is carved and hidden in these complicated prints. It also has the meaning of wis.h.i.+ng you to be blessed, safe, and healthy!” The host spoke up next to Lin Nuan, saying, “This fan has come here today as well, hoping to meet you in person and get a hug from you! Do you wish to meet the person?”
The audience started discussing amongst themselves. To think that this person could get the renowned Venerable Konglong to make pendants for Lin Nuan. This fan must come from a great background!
Venerable Konglong was an eminent monk in Shaolin Monastery, and his reputation was great even in the modern world.
Venerable Konglong’s self-taught carving skill was as equally renowned as his religious name “Konglong”…
Everyone said that the items handcrafted by Venerable Konglong had the effect of bringing one safety. Therefore, there were many people who went to plead for Venerable Konglong’s craftwork. Venerable Konglong sealed up his blade five years ago, and he hadn’t carved any items since! This led to Venerable Konglong’s past pieces soaring in value!
To think that there was still someone who could manage to get Venerable Konglong to come out and carve a present for their idol.
Lin Nuan was also very astonished as she held the pendant in her hand.
She looked at the exquisite scene on the screen before nodding as she turned to look at the host. She was a little hesitant, fearing that the person coming up would turn out to be Li Muyang.
Lin Nuan suppressed her emotions, held the microphone, and asked, “Is the person amongst the audience?”
“Since Nuan Nuan is willing to meet the person, shall we let that fan come up to the stage?”
The moment the host finished his sentence, everyone in the audience looked left and right, turning their heads and bodies, looking for the fan with superb talent and insight in art.
“Nuan Nuan…”
A soft voice called out Lin Nuan’s name, and everyone looked toward the stage. Everyone wore surprised expressions, and there was even someone who gasped and said, “That can’t be.”
Lin Nuan was a little surprised as she looked at Shu Xin, who was standing in front of her…
“I’m very sorry that I attacked you online out of impulse. But after seeing the trailer, I became your fan! Regardless of whether it’s your character or your acting skills!”
Seeing that Lin Nuan was about to say something, Shu Xin quickly said, “I know. I know you’ll say that it’s fine and that you don’t mind. But I mind! I’m really sorry. During this period of time, I didn’t know what I could do to make it up to you, so I drew this. I really hope that you’ll be able to forgive me!”
Lin Nuan looked at Shu Xin and, a moment later, put out her hands to embrace Shu Xin…
“Thank you. I like this drawing a lot! I like the pendant a lot too. Thank you…” Lin Nuan whispered next to Shu Xin’s ears.
Shu Xin’s eyes turned red, and she hugged Lin Nuan tightly as well. Sounds of applause rang out incessantly from the audience.
The host spoke up, saying, “This is an embrace between Feng Wuluan’s previous life from ‘The Exorcist’ and the author in the real world. Before the show started, I chatted with Miss Shu Xin. Miss Shu Xin said that.. there’s no more Feng Wuluan after Lin Nuan. Of course, this ‘Feng Wuluan’ is referring to Feng Wuluan’s previous life. This shows how much Miss Shu Xin recognizes and likes Nuan Nuan!”
The audience broke out in applause once again. The readers of the original work who came to support the production crew for “The Exorcist” as well as Lin Nuan’s fans clapped especially loud.
