What if My Brother is Too Good?

At this point, one award after another had been announced on stage: Best Picture – 《Under the Moon》, Best Director – Cassie Chazelle, Best Actor – Viola Affleck.

Unknowingly, it was time for the Best Actress winner to be announced.

This year’s Best Actress competition was exceptionally fierce. The nominees, in addition to Huo Wu, were Ruth, who had been a runner for many years; black actress, Amy; Isabelle, who got a head start by sealing a deal in Venice; and the German diva, Aegila. The weight of this award was really too heavy. It represented the highest honor in the performing arts industry.

The guest of honor was the previous Best Actress of the last Oscar.

She scanned the list, and with a smile amidst countless expectant eyes, she slowly shouted the name, “The 90th Oscar for Best Actress is … Huo Wu! Let’s congratulate her!”

The moment her announcement fell, the camera immediately turned to film Huo Wu’s reaction.

On the screen, her delicate and beautiful face expressed shock, as if she had yet to recover from her surprise. Emma besides her gave her a big hug, and only then did she seem to react to what had just happened.

She hugged Emma back and shook hands with Director Lin Yuan on the other side. Finally, she walked up to the stage amidst all the gazes in the audience.

Even after receiving the trophy from the award presenter, she still had a dream-like and surreal feeling. She felt like she was in a dream right now.

That none of this was happening.

In the end, the Best Actress award fell on her head without warning!

Huo Wu’s hands trembled as she held the trophy.

Her eyes welled up with tears because of the excitement. They were tears of joy.

Huo Wu stood before the microphone and tried to get a handle on her emotions for a while before she slowly spoke, “Thank you very much! Receiving this award has truly been too unexpected. I’m not mentally prepared at all. So, I don’t even know what to say at this point.

First of all, I’d like to thank everyone in the cast of The Swan’s Dream! The Director, Emma, and the various crew members, thank you! It’s been a great three months with all of you! Next, I’d like to thank my brother. Without him, I wouldn’t be standing here today.

In fact, I’ve been wanting to say these words to you before. But I never thought that I would say them on such an occasion now.

This year, I’m grateful for your heart and dedication to our relationship. It’s because I know you’re behind me, so I have the courage to pursue my dreams with confidence and boldness. The security and love you give me make me feel that there is no second ‘Huo Yusen’ in the world.

There are so many things I want to say to you that I may not be able to finish now, but that’s okay because I have an entire lifetime of time to slowly tell you.

So Mr. Huo, are you willing to marry me? Are you willing to spend the rest of your life with me?”

When Huo Wu finished her speech, she looked down at the audience somewhat nervously.

She knew that Huo Yusen, who was sitting in the audience, had been silently watching her. He’d been cheering and applauding her whenever she achieved something and always felt the same joy as she did.

At this juncture, the atmosphere at the venue turned quiet for a few seconds because of Huo Wu’s proposal.

No one expected that they would witness such a sincere and moving confession at the Oscars.

But in the wake of the silence, deafening applause and cheers, including shouts of approval, erupted.

Emotions at the venue came to a boil because of this confession.

Just as those in the audience were beginning to regain their senses, the Mr. Huo that Huo Wu mentioned was already on the stage.

Huo Wu turned sideways and watched Huo Yusen walk towards her step by step.

This time, he wasn’t only approaching her but also walking into the rest of her life.

Huo Wu’s voice trembled a little. “Big Brother?”

“I do.”

Huo Yusen’s acceptance was clear, and his voice clearly reached Huo Wu’s ears. In the next second, he knelt down on one knee directly in front of her in a marriage proposal posture.

Huo Wu was already regretting her impulsive marriage proposal. That remark just now was the result of her thoughtlessness. Before going on stage earlier, she had never considered it. However, perhaps because she was so excited to have won the Best Actress Oscar that she lost all control and just blurted that part out.

In other words, she didn’t prepare a ring.

One could even say that she didn’t prepare anything at all.

Just now, her proposal was made in the heat of the moment.

But the heat of that moment wasn’t a substitute for a ring. At this time, Huo Wu was feeling somewhat cramped and regretful.

She wanted Huo Yusen to stand up from his one-knee position, but at that moment, she unexpectedly saw him fish out a ring box from his coat pocket.

But… a ring?

The lid of the black velvet box opened and inside rested a bejeweled diamond ring.

The diamonds shimmered under the lights overhead and looking at the size, the ring was the perfect fit for her.

When did he prepare it?

Was he carrying the ring with him the entire time?

Did he originally plan to propose to me as well?

In that moment, countless thoughts crossed Huo Wu’s mind at once.

She was dumbfounded, and for the second time that night, she couldn’t get back to her senses.

Huo Yusen had now solemnly put the ring on her ring finger and then planted a kiss there.

“Ah Wu, I’m glad that you said that just now.”

“For the rest of my life, I would like to hold your hand and walk with you.”

Huo Wu watched dumbly as Huo Yusen stood up from one knee and then hugged her.

The applause and screams in the audience intensified. These sounds were deafening like they were going to raise the roof.

But at this time, all these sounds faded away quickly like the tide in Huo Wu’s ears.

At this moment, all she could hear in her ears was his voice alone.

He said, For the rest of my life, I would like to hold your hand and walk with you.

In that second, the tears welling up in Huo Wu’s eyes finally fell, trailing down her face, and falling into the embrace of the two.

How fortunate I am to have met you in this life. From now on, nothing in this world is as good as you.

You are the most precious.
