Some people were very excited internally, but just greeted Ling Zhenfei gracefully and exchanged a few words.

There were also those, like Yan Shuang who was next to Ling Zhenfei, who simply didn't recognize him.

Yan Shuang had been studying English on her tablet, but was now searching for information on Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei observed all of this, and Yan Shuang brought up many results and even recited some of them softly.

After watching for a while, Yan Shuang finally finished reading all the information and said to Ling Zhenfei, "Is this really talking about you? It looks impressive."

Ling Zhenfei chuckled, "You can't believe everything online."

Yan Shuang said, "But what's written is quite detailed, and there are videos too. Are you really the Divine Doctor?"

Ling Zhenfei nodded, "That's what they all say anyway."

Yan Shuang whispered beside Ling Zhenfei, "So, are you and Li Yuetong a couple?"

Kong Lu next to them had been listening attentively as Yan Shuang asked.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Of course not. Li Yuetong and I are just quite familiar with each other."

Yan Shuang insisted, "Then what about you and Chu Bingqing? Are you two a couple?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Of course not either."

Yan Shuang seemed a bit disappointed and said, "But the rumors online are quite detailed. So between Li Yuetong and Chu Bingqing, who do you like?"

Director Xin was genuinely surprised, as Yan Shuang seemed a bit too immature asking these questions. She had only just met him and was already asking such things.

At this moment, Kong Lu intervened, "Yan Shuang, you're not very familiar with Mr. Ling. How can you ask such questions? Besides, if you're going to ask, don't do it publicly like this."

Yan Shuang realized she had misspoken and quickly apologized to Ling Zhenfei.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ling. I didn't realize that after meeting you, there was a sense of familiarity. You seem so approachable, like a brother next door, so I ended up saying something wrong."

Ling Zhenfei said, "It's okay, it's okay. I'm not that petty."

Ling Zhenfei felt that Yan Shuang and Li Yuetong shared a similar personality, but Li Yuetong had been famous since childhood, while Yan Shuang was still a small star.

As the three were talking, suddenly there was a bustle in the crowd, indicating the arrival of a big celebrity.

They approached, and only when closer did it become clear that it was Li Yuetong.

Li Yuetong was walking toward Ling Zhenfei's direction. Her seat wasn't supposed to be here, so taking this route meant going out of her way.

Yet, Li Yuetong chose this path, obviously aware beforehand of where Ling Zhenfei was sitting.

When she reached Ling Zhenfei, Li Yuetong paused and said to him, "Big Brother Ling, would you like to sit up front with me?"

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback; the online rumors about him and Li Yuetong were circulating, and her outright invitation would certainly become a hot topic.

If Ling Zhenfei really went to sit upfront, it would undoubtedly attract a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Ling Zhenfei said, "I'm not the protagonist, so there's no need. Just don't forget the Xi Shan Restaurant dinner tonight."

Li Yuetong nodded, then walked over to her seat in the front.

After Li Yuetong left, many people's eyes turned to Ling Zhenfei. Even those who hadn't noticed him before now realized his presence.

All the media also pointed their cameras in Ling Zhenfei's direction.

This instantly increased the exposure of this area; many celebrities suddenly straightened up, previously occupied with various activities.

Fearful of having their unflattering moments captured, their demeanor became very formal.

Yan Shuang was somewhat frustrated; she originally planned to study English and now had to put it aside.

Meanwhile, Kong Lu was edging closer to Ling Zhenfei. Ling Zhenfei was a bit helpless, clearly seeing Kong Lu trying to hitch onto his attention.

Although Ling Zhenfei felt a bit repelled, he was powerless to stop it since he was there to attend the awards ceremony, which was an unfamiliar experience.

And yet, Ling Zhenfei felt that this place really wasn't a good fit for him, thinking of avoiding future visits if possible.

Right then, there was a burst of cheering outside, a loud uproar signifying the arrival of another celebrity.

After a while, the individual entered, and Ling Zhenfei realized it was Chu Bingqing.

The appearance of Chu Bingqing always caught the eye, truly offering a superstar's presence.

Many media outlets turned their cameras towards Chu Bingqing, initially expecting her to walk forward.

However, unexpectedly, Chu Bingqing took a staircase to the side before heading forward.

That staircase led her directly past Ling Zhenfei, allowing her a perfect walk by.

Under the attention of multiple media, Chu Bingqing approached, and as she passed Ling Zhenfei, she paused momentarily to glance at him.

Chu Bingqing was wearing a deep red gown today, appearing both sumptuous and elegant.

Although it was just one glance, it was something others didn't receive, and instantly, all the spotlight turned towards Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei felt his frustration mount; Chu Bingqing was truly stirring trouble. Earlier, Li Yuetong's casual conversation had already drawn much media attention.

Now, with Chu Bingqing's look, there's no doubt the online world would explode.

Nonetheless, Chu Bingqing didn't linger, heading straight for her seat.

Ling Zhenfei was left in frustration, aware of countless cameras pointed at him, making Kong Lu, who was closer and exhibiting affectionate gestures, quite happy.

Kong Lu, a star nearing thirty without significant fame, understood the necessity of seizing opportunities, striving to grasp every chance.

Fortunately, the lights dimmed as the film festival award ceremony was about to begin, providing relief to Ling Zhenfei.

Yan Shuang exhaled deeply and picked up her tablet again.

Yan Shuang said to Ling Zhenfei, "You're really impressive. They must have done that on purpose, right?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Why on purpose?"

Yan Shuang said, "For publicity. There are rumors about the relationships between you three, and they openly interact with you now, making the hype too obvious."

Ling Zhenfei laughed, saying, "You're overthinking it. Not every celebrity likes publicity, things aren't how you imagine."

Yan Shuang smiled subtly, uncertain whether she believed Ling Zhenfei's words.

Then, Kong Lu clutched Ling Zhenfei's arm and said, "Divine Doctor Ling, haven't you researched any new medicine lately? I'm your loyal fan, I've been using both the Youth Pill and Divine Immortal Water."
