Chapter 1 – Bright Sunshine “Gao Wen… Gao Wen?” A warm, cosy haze enveloped Gao Wen, a drifting, floating sensation that blurred his consciousness. His vision dissolved into a halo of light, making contours and lines indistinct. Amid this vagueness, a hint of blue emerged—clear, vivid blue—that instinctively drew him to reach out and touch it. A little closer, just a little closer. “Gao Wen!” A voice rang in his ears, sharp and startling like…
Chapter 131 – Emerges Suddenly and Impressively When the curtain fell on the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards, there was joy, surprise, and a fair share of upsets. In the drama series category, the biggest highlight was undoubtedly ‘Mad Men’ winning Outstanding Drama Series award for the third consecutive year, maintaining its dominant streak. Meanwhile, ‘Breaking Bad’ claimed Outstanding Lead Actor and Outstanding Supporting Actor, leaving fans lamenting another missed opportunity for Hugh Laurie and Michael…
Chapter 130 – Sisyphus From the very centre of the seating area, he walked toward the middle aisle. Everyone stood up, clapping, smiling, or offering friendly pats on his shoulder to express their congratulations. The short path seemed endless, as a surge of people filled every corner of his vision. The bright lights blurred his sight, turning everything into dazzling points of light—brilliant, yet out of focus—leaving only a surging wave of heat and a…
Chapter 129 – Unexpected “Are you nervous?” Rami nudged Renly’s shoulder with a tense expression, looking even more excited than the person involved. Renly chuckled helplessly. “Nervous.” He spread his hands. “But there’s nothing I can do about it.” His straightforward, unpolished demeanour left Rami momentarily stunned, but then he burst into laughter. Even Morett, sitting on the other side, gave a kind smile. Renly couldn’t deny it—he was indeed nervous. The tension in his…
Chapter 128 – Observing the Grand Event “Sorry, sorry, sorry.” Renly muttered apologies as he made his way past the rows of seats, finally finding the dark red seat with his name on the backrest. The awards ceremony was set to begin in less than five minutes. Earlier outside, Renly had unexpectedly run into Hugh Laurie, and the two hit it off immediately. Both were British, both alumni of Eton College, and both graduates of…
Chapter 127 – Fanboy mode Turning around, the first thing that came into their view was that proud, striking figure. Renly knew that this was highly inappropriate. Twenty years of good family upbringing in this lifetime trained his gaze to lock onto the newcomer’s eyes. Yet his peripheral vision effortlessly caught the majestic curves of her figure, and he couldn’t help but feel a bit distracted. Nonetheless, Renly maintained his courtesy and smiled as he…
Chapter 126 – Surviving in the Cracks William Taylor pressed down on Graham Hughes’s shoulder with his right hand, stretching his body to the limit as he tiptoed and leapt upward. Yet all he could see was a dense sea of people, blocking his view of everything. The scene at the centre of the square was completely obscured. He could only faintly glimpse some hair at the top, let alone see any faces—he couldn’t even…
Chapter 125 – Handle with poise Kristen Wiig, the comedian known for her appearances on ‘Saturday Night Live’, excels at portraying characters that blend eccentricity with a touch of awkwardness, often delivering hilariously unexpected moments. Over the years, she has contributed to works like ‘Bridesmaids’, ‘The Secret Life of Walter Mitty’, ‘Sausage Party’, and ‘Ghostbusters’. Tonight, she is here because she has earned a nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her…
Chapter 124 – Tilt of focus {“Water flies straight down three thousand feet—Has the silver stream of our galaxy plunged from highest heaven?”} These verses from Li Bai’s seven-character quatrain vividly depict the grandeur of a waterfall, and, at this moment, the dazzling explosion of camera flashes truly brought the magnificence of those poetic lines to life before Renly. The overwhelming burst of light erupted unreasonably before his eyes, leaving him no time to react…
Chapter 123 – Stunning Debut Bradley Adams adjusted his breathing, momentarily lifting his fingers off the shutter button. He glanced around at the actors on set. Neil Patrick Harris spread his arms wide to welcome the newly arrived Amy Poehler; not far away, Kaley Cuoco and Johnny Galecki who came together, were expressing their admiration for Steve Carell. The Emmys were always like this—an overwhelming gathering of familiar faces from TV screens, making it hard…
