Chapter 209: All My Honors Belong to You! (2)
After Huo Qu came back, he began to be busy. Since it was a national honor, he had many things to do before receiving the prize.
The dean didn’t sleep for two days because of excitement. However, when he saw Huo Qu on the third day, he was still in high spirits. He praised Huo Qu for half an hour in various ways before he got to the point, “Professor Huo. After the list is published, the award will be presented. You have to go on stage and give a speech. It won’t take too long, only a few minutes.”
Huo Qu nodded and said nothing.
The dean continued, “I’ll prepare the draft for you, you…” He paused, staring at Huo Qu seriously and earnestly, “Anyway, you must say a few words.”
He was still worried. After all, Huo Qu was different from ordinary people. If he suddenly felt unhappy and just shut his mouth when he got to the stage, he might get into trouble.
Huo Qu nodded, “Thank you.”
The dean told him about the detailed process of the award receiving ceremony. After he made sure Huo Qu wrote it down word for word, the dean gave the speech draft to Huo Qu and let him go home.
Yu Qinghuan was rushing about for the admission of the award ceremony these days. The ceremony was not the Taurus Award to which Huo Rong could easily get a ticket with just a word. Fortunately, Yu Qinghuan had the title of ambassador of overseas cultural communication granted by his country, and he had a direct relationship with Huo Qu, thus, he got the qualification to go to Sweden.
After receiving the confirmation call from the research institute, Yu Qinghuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This was the most important moment in Huo Qu’s life. Qinghuan wanted to be with him.
Half a month later, their group set off for Sweden.
Because of Huo Qu’s face, the Nobel Prize ceremony this year was closely watched by the netizens who immediately got the news as Huo Qu set out.
“Oh, god. Huo Qu is so handsome! Can anybody tell me a way to marry Huo Qu? Wait for your suggestion, it’s urgent.”
“My blood is boiling! Wait for Professor Huo’s award ceremony!”
“Am I blind? Why I see Yu Qinghuan among his entourage? The one next to Huo Qu.”
“There is indeed Qinghuan. Why did the little koi follow?”
“I just knew it! There must be something indescribable between little koi and Huo Qu! See! This is indeed the case!”
“Huo Qu was different you know, maybe he needs a friend at this moment, so Qinghuan comes with him.”
“Why are you always guessing that Professor Huo and the little koi have an affair? Why can’t you see the reality clearly?! By the way, I got crazy for Professor Huo.”
…
After arriving in Sweden, their group rested for two days and then began the most important part, the award ceremony.
Media from all over the world bucked up and focused their cameras on the award ceremony venue.
The solemn and dignified concert hall was packed with the world’s top figures in various fields. After the speech by the chairman of the Nobel Foundation, the jury representative came on stage to introduce the contributions of the winners.
In the warm applause, the ten winners took to the stage decorated with flowers.
As the youngest winner of the Nobal Prize in history, Huo Qu, though with little expression, was quite striking. Even the live broadcast of foreign media couldn’t help giving him many more shots.
Compared with Chinese media, overseas media were even more exaggerating and even gave Huo Qu a nickname: The Treasure of the Scientific Community. Moreover, they were bold enough to put it bluntly: no matter from Huo Qu’s scientific achievements or from his face, this title matched him very well.
Of all the winners, Huo Qu was the last to step on the stage.
With a straight face, he received the certificate and gold badge from the Swedish royal family. Then, Huo Qu began his speech.
At the moment he spoke, the dean immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Professor Huo didn’t give up halfway. In the past half month, he did not know how many times he had dreamed Huo Qu stood on the stage without saying a word.
But somehow, Huo Qu’s speech rate had increased several times compared with that of normal. It was almost like he could not wait to finish the speech immediately so as to step down quickly. Fortunately, the simultaneous interpreter had been professional and could keep up with it.
Although he was a genius, he was still young and needed to take more exercise on such a big occasion.
The dean touched his mustache under his lips and silently thought of that.
When Huo Qu finished the last sentence of the award, the dean’s heart finally rested assured. Just as he raised his hand and wanted to take the lead in clapping, he heard Huo Qu speak again.
This time, Huo Qu not only returned to his normal speed but also smiled.
The audience watching the live broadcast in front of the TV immediately went crazy!
Why the Nobal Prize genius even had dimples on his face?
Was such a Prince Charming coming from manga really exist in this world?
On the stage, Huo Qu looked around and finally landed his sights on a position accurately.
“I know, people like me have nothing but IQ,” he said, thin red clouds spreading down his cheeks to his ears, looked very shy. “However, he is willing to love me and stay with me all the time.”
The simultaneous interpreter paused for a moment, then, he translated “he” into ‘she’ according to his own understanding.
“I am really happy to stand here today. However, the greatest fortune in my life was not winning the Nobel Prize, but having him as my boyfriend.”
The simultaneous interpreter paused again, then, relying on his strong psychological quality, he abruptly corrected the previous translation errors and changed ‘she’ into ‘he’.
Huo Qu bowed deeply to the audience, walked out of the stage under everyone’s stunned gaze, stood leisurely in front of Yu Qinghuan, and thrust the award certificate and gold badge into his hands before the global live.
“Qinghuan.”
He looked down at him, eyes focused and full of love, “All my honors belong to you. I love you.”
