Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore

Chapter 527: Everything I’ve Done Was of My Own Will—Xiao He, Best Actor!

Finally, the applause slowly died down.

Xiao He blinked his eyes, his gaze slowly sweeping over the people below the stage.

At this moment, Ning Jiaqi, who had sat back down, wore a smile and nodded slightly towards him. On the other side, Hou Rongxuan and Liu Zehang both gave him thumbs-up gestures. The other nominees in their seats gradually stopped clapping, their expressions turning attentive. There was no resentment or regret on their faces, only a sense of relief at having lost to Xiao He, convinced of his superiority.

Having worn high heels, Liu Rulan had been several steps slower than Xiao He. She now emerged from a side internal passageway, standing at the very front of the crowd yet in the most inconspicuous spot. She crossed her arms, looking at him with a gentle and proud gaze, the corners of her mouth uncontrollably curving upwards.

Meanwhile, in the live stream room, the moment Xiao He stood on the stage, the bullet comments had already started buzzing. The congratulations and cheers from netizens swept past like the wind, bringing not a storm, but a gentle breeze. The hidden worries and unwillingness, the deep love and pride, caused countless Little Box fans in front of their screens to quietly redden their eyes.

Xiao He looked at everyone before him, finally calming his emotions. Only then did he adjust the microphone, holding the trophy in his hand, and said, ”First, I want to extend a message of peace to the fans who care about me and to all the friends here on site. I am well, everything is fine. I am also very grateful to the organizer for arranging all the subsequent situations, allowing me to stand here without any burdens, on this stage that holds immense significance for me, and to receive this important award.”

”To be honest, a lot of special things happened during both the filming period and the release of ʼNo Baitʼ. It is a great honor for me that ʼNo Baitʼ was able to successfully premiere, enter everyoneʼs view, and gain your affection.”

”Here, I am also very grateful to Director Ning, Director Ning Jiaqi, for ultimately choosing me to portray his male lead, Shu Yuxiu. This role truly holds very significant meaning for me. Itʼs not an exaggeration to say that before Shu Yuxiu, I was still doubting myself, questioning whether I could portray a role well, questioning whether I could walk far on this path...”

That period was also the most confusing time for Xiao He. When he opened his eyes, he even pondered whether he was Shu Yuxiu or the actor Xiao He.

Shu Yuxiu was cold, hypocritical, utterly inhumane, and would stop at nothing.
But he, Xiao He, appeared enthusiastic, yet in reality, his circle of friends was small, he had few recognized friends, and he didnʼt possess that much kindness. Before having the System, when he encountered many situations, he would actively choose to avoid and distance himself, and would never proactively offer help.

Was using his System ability to lend a hand to others truly an act of genuine kindness, or was it because he wanted to prove his spirit of resistance through this action, attempting to rebel against the ”criminal” life arranged by the System?

What was the difference between him and Shu Yuxiu?

Was it that he successfully portrayed Shu Yuxiu, who, due to societal injustice, decided to deceive others without scruples and strive to climb upwards, or was it that he successfully revealed the Xiao He who, since the Systemʼs appearance, had been suppressing negative emotions and deceiving himself into being kind and friendly?

One day, Xiao He even thought that perhaps the System chose him precisely because there was an innate sense of indifference in his bones, a feeling of detachment, that even a good family upbringing couldnʼt erase.

So Xiao He hesitated, struggled, and even amidst good and evil, he still felt a sense of fragmentation.

It wasnʼt until Li Hanyueʼs incident that Xiao He suddenly realized his hesitation was never about being a righteous character or a villain per se, but about whether the action aligned with his own wishes and will—

Why should he deny his current self because of a resonance with a villain? Didnʼt his subconscious act of reaching out, his unreserved act of saving people, already represent his inner self?

—Was being an actor what he wanted?
