Chapter 501: Chapter 332: Annual Gala Extravaganza (Part 4)
The goal of not reaching out to Li Peifeng on their own initiative was set collectively by the four of them, to make him feel their determination: ’You must make a choice, or you’ll get nothing.’
If anyone broke the rule, Li Peifeng would surely break through them one by one, relying on their favoritism to abandon making a choice and become even more unruly in the future.
"A moment’s patience leads to a great plan, stay calm!"
Xu Manning comforted herself with these words, then turned her attention back to the live broadcast. At that moment, Li Peifeng finally appeared in front of the camera!
But... he wasn’t alone!
"Nazha is here? Eh, why is she walking on the right side of the red carpet?"
"Who is the man beside Nazha? What’s his name?"
"Go over there quickly! Take pictures!"
At the live broadcast scene, the right-side red carpet reserved for web novel authors was now much livelier than before, with reporters and spectators densely lining both sides, some even jogging with large cameras.
"Walk slowly, look at the camera."
Standing at the beginning of the red carpet, Guli Nazha showed a professionally proud smile in front of many cameras, her lips moving slightly as she whispered, while her hand that was holding Li Peifeng’s arm pulled gently towards her own body...
Li Peifeng also smiled at the camera, then as rehearsed before, puffed out his chest, raised his head, and took a step that was neither too big nor too small onto the red carpet.
But they had just taken two steps...
"The suit!"
A familiar female voice seemed to remind him. Li Peifeng saw Sister Shang out of the corner of his eye. She was staring intently at the two of them on the right side of the red carpet, making some anxious hand gestures as if reminding Li Peifeng not to forget something.
"Actually, doing this is very beneficial for you."
Guli Nazha waved kindly to those around her with a smile and whispered, "It makes you appear gentlemanly, and the buzz will be higher. If your Douyin account doesn’t gain two million followers in a month, I’ll buy them for you!"
"It’s not about the traffic, I’ve said it before, walking the red carpet with you is fine, but wearing a suit for you is definitely not!"
Li Peifeng glanced at the camera responsible for the live broadcast, wondering if the others were watching, and what their reaction would be to seeing this scene...
"Fine, suit yourself, I’m not cold anyway."
Although Guli Nazha responded in a low voice like this, she held Li Peifeng’s arm more tightly. Li Peifeng could clearly see her, dressed in an evening gown, shivering in the cold winter wind, her fair and delicate shoulders exposed, looking so helpless at this moment...
Damn, my heart is still too soft!
Feeling tender-hearted, Li Peifeng hesitated for two seconds, stopped, and simply took off his black suit jacket, draping it over Guli Nazha’s shoulders.
"Phew~"
Guli Nazha put on a look of surprise and gratitude, gazing at Li Peifeng with tender eyes, adjusted the oversized jacket on her, and then hooked his arm again, this time closer than before.
If earlier the two of them were just typical male and female stars on the red carpet walking arm in arm, now they looked more like an on-screen couple with some ambiguous relationship...
Li Peifeng sighed and said, "Do all you stars have thirty-six thousand tricks up your sleeves?"
Guli Nazha smiled, looking straight at the camera, and said, "I’m an actress, professional, just relax, and manage your expressions."
"Click click click~"
The reporters, unable to hear their discussion, only saw the intriguing scene, and their professional instinct accelerated their shutter pressing, with flashlights flickering incessantly...
The live stream’s bullet-screen comments were going wild...
The phone in Li Peifeng’s pants pocket also kept ringing with repeated dings...
"You brought your phone?" Guli Nazha frowned slightly, "You brought your phone to an event like this? At least put it on silent!"
"Yeah, I forgot." freewēbnoveℓ.com
Li Peifeng’s tone was apologetic, but he felt secretly pleased.
Damn, walking the red carpet with you was just to hear those few pings. If it were on silent, wouldn’t this red carpet walk have been in vain?
