Falling in Love With the Male God

Chapter 12 - A Celebrity

Each year, Weibo would hold a grand ceremony at the middle and end of the year. Compared to the year-end grand ceremony, the mid-year ceremony was not so huge.

But this year's mid-year ceremony had a big gimmick, which was Lin Qin. A low-key and powerful actor who was finally been seen by the public recently would participate in this festival.

Everyone knew Lin Qin was a very low-key existence. Before this, the public did not even know that there was such a person. Only a Chinese actor had taken the Cannes Best actor last year was known. As for who it was, in this era where traffic was the king, it aroused little attention.

Had it not been for Lin Qin being with Meng Chao, who was known to be the myth of the entertainment circle taking part in the recording of the love reality show "We Are Together", the public would still not have seen such an excellent actor.

We could also say the era where traffic was king to be the era of looking at faces.

And Lin Qin happened to have a face that fit small fresh meat, which caused him to be noticed at once and get popular.

Coupled with his excellent acting skills, he distinguished himself from those traffic stars, earning enough goodwill from passers-by*.

[TN: *they are not exactly fans or antis, just as the name suggests, they are passer-bys. These people usually are on the middle ground.]

The more the public gets to know about Lin Qin, the more they understood how low-key this person was.

So as soon as they heard Lin Qin was going to attend the mid-year ceremony, a ceremonial ritual that was meant to be all-encompassing, it attracted the attention of the general public.

In a blink of an eye, the mid-year ceremony arrived.

The red carpet has always been a place for the entertainment industry to compete for beauty, ranging from the red carpets of major film festivals to the red carpets of major brands. This mid-year ceremony was naturally, not surprisingly, excluded.

Compared with female celebrities, male celebrities had a much smaller space for their modelling on the red carpet. All suits and dresses were all about figure.

Lin Qin belonged to the tall and thin type. The suit was tailor made and had a waist-in effect, which completely outlined his thin waist. The Ironed straight suit trousers also showed Lin Qin's long slender legs well.

Even if he stood in front of a room full of male stars, Lin Qin would instantly stand out from the crowd, as an existent that could be seen at a glance.

Standing beside Lin Qin, Chu Hong spoke in a low voice, "Don't be nervous. When you walk on the red carpet, you have to remember that your Film Emperor Meng is watching the live broadcast. If you act nervous and make a fool of yourself on the red carpet, your Film Emperor Meng will see it."

Lin Qin instantly felt hot on his face while slandering in his heart: What is my Film Emperor Meng? there is no such thing!

But he still nodded and took a deep breath.

Lin Qin doesn't like to stand in front of people. He would physically feel nervous, tremble, sweat, and even forget to breathe in severe cases.

What he had was called social phobia in medical science, and he had a severe case in it. 

This was the reason Lin Qin was very low-key. He would rather stay at home for ten and a half months than walk out of the house.

Those eyes that fell on Lin Qin, whether intentional or unintentional, malicious or kind, would make Lin Qin extremely nervous, let alone physical touch.

Chu Hong was Lin Qin's cousin. She had been with Lin Qin for a long time, despite that, Lin Qin could not accept Chu Hong's touch.

As a result, Chu Hong felt more than once that Film Emperor Meng was Lin Qin's courage.

For the film emperor Meng, Lin Qin resolutely walked into the entertainment circle, which could be said to have no privacy. And he could also pretend to take part in a ceremony as if nothing happened, just because he would get the opportunity to look at Meng Chao from a distance.

It was the same this time as well. Just because Meng Chao said that he would take time to watch the live broadcast of the mid-year ceremony, Lin Qin came here without hesitation.

The door of the lounge was knocked, and the voice of the staff came in, "Teacher Lin, it's almost your turn."

"Coming." Chu Hong replied, then said to Lin Qin: "Take a deep breath, your ears are red." If it weren't for the foundation, Lin Qin's face would’ve been able to compete with the monkey's butt.

Lin Qin really took a deep breath when he heard this. In fact, he was still a little afraid to open the door of the lounge, but when he thought that Meng Chao was watching the live broadcast right now, he felt the world outside the door was not so scary.

After taking a sip of water, Lin Qin walked out of the lounge under the leadership of Chu Hong.

There was a bit of a distance from the lounge to the red carpet, so there would be an extended car to send the stars over. They would arrange the stars who would go together in the same car.

When Lin Qin opened the door and got into the car, he found that there was already a person in the car.

Even if the vehicle was an extended sedan, the space in the car was still limited. After Lin Qin got on it, his whole body froze, palms beginning to sweat, and he didn't even notice who was sitting across from him.

When Chu Hong saw this, her face immediately sank.

According to the schedule, the organizers did not arrange for anyone to walk the red carpet with Lin Qin beforehand. However now, he was still exposed to a female celebrity.

As there were a few minutes before the departure, Chu Hong immediately went to ask the staff.

Only then did she get to know that the female celebrity managed to ask the organiser and arranged for her to walk the red carpet with Lin Qin. After all, Lin Qin's popularity has been relatively high recently, and the female celebrity also wanted to rub off on Lin Qin's popularity.

Actually, the female celebrity still thought of herself too highly. This woman named Zhu Yan was just an internet celebrity on a live broadcast platform.

Chu Hong was very displeased. The organizer's practice of arranging things for Lin Qin's side without discussing it really made Chu Hong feel no respect.

Seeing that the car was about to start, Chu Hong was anxious about Lin Qin.

If the car was stopped like this, Lin Qin would definitely be in hot search. The media and marketing accounts wouldn't care what the reasons were. But will discuss this with a wave of enthusiasm first.

Moreover, in the eyes of ordinary people, this was a trivial matter, hence there was no need to care about it at all.

Chu Hong knew today they must suffer from this dumb loss.

She hoped Lin Qin could survive because of his persistent belief in Emperor Meng Chao.

Lin Qin did indeed rely on the belief of Meng Chao. Seeing Lin Qin get in the car, Zhu Yan immediately moved towards Lin Qin's position. Lin Qin could even smell the strong perfume of Zhu Yan's body.

The unfamiliar breath was like a knife rushing towards his face, causing Lin Qin to sit on pins and needles. The blood on his lips faded, while his palms and forehead began to sweat.

Zhu Yan however, didn't notice Lin Qin's nervousness. She approached Lin Qin and exhaled: "Teacher Lin, I have seen your "Double Love". I really like the characters in it. Can you sign for me?"

As Zhu Yan approached, Lin Qin's body showed a stress response, with instinct being greater than reason. His whole body stepped back. He sat at the end of the seat unstably with only one butt on the seat.

Such evasion made Zhu Yan feel very faceless. A flash of anger flashed in her eyes, but the next second she acted all worried: "Teacher Lin, what's the matter with you?" As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to help Lin Qin.

Lin Qin avoided Zhu Yan's gaze, got up and sat on the opposite chair, before saying, "I'm fine."

As the distance pulled away, the rich perfume smell faded a little, making Lin Qin feel that his breathing became smoother.

Zhu Yan also still wanted to move forward, but just at this moment, the car door opened again, and the light outside the door came through.

Seemingly feeling something, Lin Qin looked up at the car door...

After that, he could no longer feel the noise and maliciousness of the whole world. Only the person standing outside the door was in his mind.
