Disappointingly, it was his reaction.
There was no enraged outburst as imagined, no furious cursing as anticipated, and, contrary to everyone's expectations, he did not storm out on the spot.
Initially, the first recipient of the Rotten Sour Plum Award, still a popular young idol with a gentle, approachable, and courteous public image, turned red the moment he heard his name and kicked his seat violently before leaving, a gesture that was utterly embarrassing to witness.
Logically, someone like Ye Xian, who was highly pretentious and overly dramatic, should have reacted even more violently upon receiving the Rotten Sour Plum Award, but his face remained utterly expressionless, watching the award citation on the big screen as if unaware that he was the awardee, without a trace of shame or humiliation.
[Could it be that Ye Xian hasn't realized yet?]
[I also feel like he hasn't realized he has won this kind of award, otherwise, his expression shouldn't be like this, right?]
