Chapter 181 Witness.

It was Shen Zhiyi's first time attending such a formal film awards ceremony. It would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous. She had been a little nervous since she started putting on makeup in the morning, but she didn't show it.

When they arrived at the award ceremony, Shen Zhiyi was about to part with Pei Yu. Before leaving, he shook her hand tightly. She turned around and saw Pei Yu smiling at her lightly and kissing her finger with the ring, "Don't be nervous."

"Is it obvious?" Being seen through by him, Shen Zhiyi became even more nervous.

"Fortunately," Pei Yu said with a hint of smile in his eyes, "others can't see it."

Shen Zhiyi smiled at him and said, "Come pick me up in the evening."

The award ceremony went much more smoothly than Shen Zhiyi had imagined. She quickly relaxed and chatted with Director Meng and other directors and actors until the highlight of the evening arrived.

This movie took nearly half a year to shoot and is Director Meng's masterpiece. Winning the award was something he expected, so he seemed quite calm when he received the trophy. What Shen Zhiyi didn't expect was that he mentioned himself in his speech.

"I believe that everyone who has seen this movie will be impressed by my leading actress. When I was casting for the film, I only had a vague idea in my mind, that is, I must choose an actress who can best embody oriental beauty. The beauties in our country are all different, but my leading actress is the most classical and dignified one among them. She is tenacious and fierce. Fortunately, she performed this role very well."

After the news of the film winning the award came out, there was an uproar on the Internet. Some comments criticized Shen Zhiyi, saying that the film's award was the credit of the script and director, and that she just happened to take a speedboat.

It just so happens that this award is given based on the entire film, and does not give any evaluation or praise to the actor himself, which gives many people an excuse to make use of the issue.

Director Meng, a famous director recognized both at home and abroad, gave Shen Zhiyi a very high evaluation at the award ceremony for his most proud work.

"Shen Zhiyi," he smiled at the audience, "Our leading actress is called Shen Zhiyi."

This is a film awards ceremony, and the award that belongs exclusively to Shen Zhiyi will come soon.

"My leading actress is an excellent actress, impeccable in every aspect," Director Meng changed the subject, "except for one thing."

He said jokingly, "Her family is a bit difficult."

Obviously he's still holding a grudge.

After drinking some wine at the award ceremony, Shen Zhiyi was already slightly tipsy. She walked out of the hall holding up her skirt, facing the reporters and countless cameras on both sides of the road.

There were fans abroad waiting outside for her autograph. She signed for them one by one, took photos with them, and told them to go back early.

It took another half an hour to do all this. Most of the celebrities who came to attend the award ceremony had already dispersed, and there were fewer reporters. The road became empty and quiet.

Shen Zhiyi realized it was raining when she saw the slightly darker water marks on the ground. She walked a few steps towards the car, the door opened, and Pei Yu got out with an umbrella. The dark umbrella made him look like a shadow in the night. From a distance, he glanced at Shen Zhiyi, and she stood still, waiting for him to come over.

It took only a few seconds to walk over the distance of more than ten meters. Shen Zhiyi raised her face slightly and smiled at him. She looked a little cute and naive, which was a side of her that she rarely showed.

Pei Yu lowered his eyes and put his hand that was not holding the umbrella on her cheek. "Are you happy?"

"Yeah." His hand was warm. Shen Zhiyi tilted her head to rub it, then reached out for a hug and blinked slowly, "Happy."

The two stood there hugging each other quietly for a while. Pei Yu noticed that her shoulders were slightly cold from the night breeze, so he held her hand and said, "It's time to go back."

Shen Zhiyi nodded, took a few steps and heard someone calling her name from behind. It was a fan she had just met.

She smiled over there and waved again, but the hand she waved was the one that was clasped with Pei Yu.

In the night, the two silver rings next to each other flickered with a faint light. Shen Zhiyi's eyebrows were curved, and her cheeks were slightly red, which was very touching. Beside her, Pei Yu's face was mostly covered by the umbrella, revealing only his tall and straight figure, standing quietly.

The fans didn't get to watch for too long, as Shen Zhiyi was led into the car by Pei Yu. The city looked hazy everywhere on a rainy night. Shen Zhiyi leaned in Pei Yu's arms, dazzled by the colorful lights outside the window. She asked Pei Yu, "Did you watch the live broadcast of the award ceremony?"

"Well," Pei Yu let down her long hair that had been tied up all the time, her expression was very calm, "I heard Director Meng say bad things about me."

Shen Zhiyi laughed, "You really offended him."

Pei Yu did not comment on this.

When he learned that Shen Zhiyi had been seriously injured in an accident during filming, he was on the verge of a breakdown and was naturally very rude to Director Meng.

If we go by the principle of respecting the elderly and loving the young, Pei Yu admitted that he was indeed a bit too harsh on Director Meng.

Shen Zhiyi thought of something and turned to ask, "Should we invite Director Meng to our wedding?"

Weddings are different from engagement parties. She had seen Pei Yu's invitation list, which included many people. Even those with whom she had a distant relationship would come. How could she not invite Director Meng, who was her mentor?

But given his attitude towards Pei Yu, it would probably take a lot of effort to ask him for help.

Shen Zhiyi took the initiative to take the job, "I'll talk to him."

If she spoke up, Director Meng would definitely not make things difficult for her.

"No need," Pei Yu said, "I can do it."

Shen Zhiyi looked at him and felt that he seemed to have figured out what to do, so he stopped worrying about it.

Pei Yu was very efficient. After returning to the hotel, he took advantage of the time when Shen Zhiyi went to wash up to call Director Meng.

Director Meng was drinking with some friends and was surprised to receive his call, but he quickly guessed the purpose of the call.

The wedding rings are already on, is it too late for these two to get married? They will definitely invite him to the wedding.

Director Meng cleared his throat and asked knowingly, choosing his tone, "What does Director Pei want from me?"

"I want to trouble you with something," Pei Yu's tone sounded quite cold, not as humble as Director Meng had imagined. He said, "My wedding with Zhiyi is still short of a witness. I want to ask Director Meng if he has any recommendations."

Director Meng: “…”

He frowned, "Witness? Am I not qualified to be your witness? Who else do you want to find?"

Pei Yu said calmly, "It would be great if Director Meng could come, but I'm worried that you, a busy man, don't have time."

Director Meng immediately shouted, "Of course I'm free! Don't look for anyone else!"

He is the most suitable person to be the witness.

Shortly after the phone call was hung up, Shen Zhiyi came out of the bathroom.

Pei Yu put down his phone and reported the result to her, "Director Meng agreed."

"?"

Shen Zhiyi was surprised. Was it so easy for Director Meng to agree?
