Hence, she was quite good now. This army was training with their lives and when she went out, it wouldn’t be a problem for her to defeat a few blokes. Moreover, men and women were different. Women’s bodies are light and sometimes, they are able to do things that men cannot do. Their explosive power are incredibly strong and powerful and can easily defeat men.
Someone started running up to Lu Yi and started showing off her skills to him. He defended against the blows expertly and didn’t strike out.
Only until the person stopped and pounced towards him did he extend both his arms to give a tight hug.
A smile radiated from his dark black eyes.
“Have I improved?” Yan Huan used all the skills and techniques that she had acquired recently on Lu Yi. He had a good physique and a normal person wouldn’t be able to defeat him. He would have been a hidden expert in the past and even now, he was still an expert.
Lu Yi lifted her face. “You injured your face?”
“Yes,” Yan Huan broke into a smile. Her skin was much darker than before. She used to be a flower growing within a greenhouse. Now, she was a grass growing at the top of the hill.
One was demure and elegant, the other was full of vitality.
“It’s alright,” she touched her face but Lu Yi held her hand. “Don’t touch.”
“I know,” Yan Huan smiled at him. She hadn’t seen him for a week and she missed him.
“I miss you,” she moved around a little within Lu Yi’s embrace, trying to take in the light smell of green grass on his body. It was very clean and refreshing and a taste that she dreamed of. Finally, she was near it again.
Lu Yi smoothed her short hair.
He wasn’t able to let things go so easily. If she had to be scolded, she had to be.
“You are an actress, shouldn’t you be more aware of your own face? What if there is a scar?”
“I’m not the kind who scars easily. It will heal easily. Also, it isn’t that serious.” Of course, Yan Huan didn’t dare to tell Lu Yi that even if it was a real injury, she could just go for plastic surgery.
Lu Yi looked at her face closely. It didn’t look that serious. But he was still a little regretful for sending her here. He felt that his demure wife was become an independent woman. And this woman was getting stronger and stronger by the day.
In the car, Yan Huan ate the things that Lu Yi brought her. She had a lot of cravings from the closed-door trainings. She spent the entire day in the wilderness and there was no place to shop and they couldn’t leave as they pleased. Lu Yi could enter only because he had special privileges as a part of the Lu family. Besides, he had no intentions of letting his woman join the special forces. It was one thing to let his demure wife become a fake man. He did not think of letting her catch thieves or go on some important operation.
Yan Huan ate the food from outside and it did smell good. This was much better than the food she ate in the army. However, she had spent almost half a year here and she had gotten used to things. She no longer ate as elegantly as before and she was really turning into a female bloke.
At this moment, she was looking at Lu Yi’s phone and the video recording on it. It was the prize ceremony of the Golden Tree award. She didn’t give much thought on whether she could win the award or not.
But Zhou Zizhe clinching the best male lead award was something within her expectations. In her past life, he did win the best male lead award for his role in The Uncle and The Flower. As for the best female lead award, it was her. Even though she had acted in another movie, not The Uncle and The flower, she was the one who won the award. Back then, she was 23 and she had no idea whether it would be the same this time round. After all, she acted in a production that could earn money, not fame.
Because she needed money, the Ye family needed money. Lu Yi needed money too.
Hence, she didn’t have much thought on whether the annual best female lead award would go to her or not. If it was, that was good. If it wasn’t, it was fine too. She had gotten everything she wanted and she could do without the award. Anyway, it would be hers sooner or later.
However, when the host announced the winner was Su Muran, Yan Huan frowned. She had thought of many people but she didn’t expect the winner to be her. In her past life, Su Muran only became famous after she secretly married Lu Qin. At that time, she had stopped acting and married Lu Qin. She started grooming him, picking up jobs for him, investing for him and helping him deal with the others from the Lu family. However, that had given Su Muran the easy way out. She started crushing everything along her way and got more and more famous. But Yan Huan got forgotten until she died silently and lonely…
Lu Qin might have gone around clapping his hands when she died. He even went around showing off how loving he was with Su Muran. Yan Huan didn’t do any good deeds throughout her life and in the end, she was buried in her grave lonely and alone. There was a small grave beside her and it was the body of her unborn six-month-old child who was murdered by its own father.
She breathed in hard, she was upset.
“Why?” Lu Yi could hear something was wrong from her voice. He carried her up into his embrace. “Are you disappointed that you didn’t win the award?”
“No,” Yan Huan shook her head. “It doesn’t matter if I had won, it’s just that this award shouldn’t belong to Su Muran. Her acting isn’t good enough and she isn’t qualified.”
Was everyone from the Golden Tree Awards blind? Someone with the acting skills of Su Muran shouldn’t even have been nominated. Now, she actually sat on the position of the Best Female Actress. She found it hard to accept.
Lu Yi took over his phone and pressed two buttons before it switched over to the scene of a press conference. Yan Huan lowered her chin and continued watching.
This was the press conference organized by the organizers. It was meant to address the cheating scandal and to clarify everything once and for all. After all, no one was very clear what was the truth and what wasn’t. They had pushed all the blame onto one of the staff and he took the blame for it. However, it had preserved the fairness and integrity of the award and at the end of the day, Su Muran winning the award was totally invalid. In other words, Su Muran had a free trophy and had a few days to gloat about it.
However after a few days, her trophy became trash.
The best female award, the award was given to Yan Huan at the end of the day.
“Me?” Yan Huan pointed at herself. The prize was given out to someone else but it became hers at the end of the day. How dramatic was that?
“Yes,” Lu Yi took a piece of tissue to clean her hand and face. “Why, are you not happy? You have won something.”
