Esther Yu and Ding Yuxi Publicly Show Affection, Wang Hedi Maintains Cold Face Offstage

Tencent held the Starlight Awards ceremony in Macau on the 4th, with many stars gathered. The highlight of the event was Esther Yu and Ding Yuxi, who became famous for “Eternal Night Galaxy.” When Esther Yu finished receiving her award and was about to step down, Ding Yuxi immediately ran to the stairs to help her, displaying gentlemanly behavior and strong boyfriend energy twice. This made even the artists in the audience laugh shyly. However, Wang Hedi, who once played an on-screen couple with Esther Yu, was seen maintaining a blank expression throughout, sparking another wave of discussion.

The Tencent Starlight Awards event lasted 11 hours, and the super sweet interactions between the “Yuzhou Zhongxin CP” (Ding Yuxi and Esther Yu) became the biggest highlight of the event, momentarily trending on Weibo. Esther Yu, wearing a luxurious long gown, wobbled down after receiving her award due to unsteady walking, and Ding Yuxi rushed to assist her. When Esther Yu went on stage a second time, Ding Yuxi had already sprinted from his seat to the side of the stage to help, causing netizens to exclaim, “Have Esther Yu and Ding Yuxi forgotten to officially announce?” “I've been watching the whole night and I'm already giddy with excitement.” “I’ll be a fan of Yuzhou Zhongxin for life.”

Moreover, when Ding Yuxi received an award, his co-stars in the same series, Zhu Xudan and Yang Shize, stood up to applaud and support him. Zhu Xudan, who played his sister, even cried from excitement. Esther Yu, who was also in the audience, invited him to release a singing and dancing album together, and they sang each other's songs, making even the host embarrassed by their sweetness.

The other wave of discussion among netizens was about Wang Hedi, who witnessed everything from the audience. He and Esther Yu were once labeled the “Dixin Gravitational CP” after starring together in “Cang Lan Jue,” also a fan-favorite pair. However, Wang Hedi remained expressionless throughout and privately had zero interaction, turning their past “on-screen couple” image into a memory, leaving many fans heartbroken.

Zhao Liying Takes Red Carpet Finale, Zhang Ruoyun Slightly Outranks Cheng Yi

The Starlight Awards were star-studded, and the sequence of the red carpet and seating arrangements demonstrate the status of the celebrities and their relationship with the organizers. Although celebrities like Esther Yu and Wang Hedi attracted attention on the red carpet, the organizers reserved the finale and central seat for Zhao Liying, who received the "Tencent Video Annual Contribution" award, over Tang Yan. Among the male stars, Zhang Ruoyun, who starred in the second season of “Joy of Life” as the last year’s top drama, was seated next to Zhao Liying, more centrally than Cheng Yi, making him the most honored male star.
