Sure. Here’s the translation of the provided text:

Walking the red carpet was actually quite boring...
When your heart wasn’t really stirred by anything significant.
It was just that the flashlights were a bit dazzling, and he needed to adjust slightly.
In the end, he had to take this step, and Zhou Wang didn’t really care who was beside him.
Even when Hua Suisui very actively took his arm, smiling and responding to each shot, Zhou Wang knew this represented a certain inclination of hers, she was using a no-turning-back method to declare something to him...
Hua Suisui had almost never had any scandals.
For the vast majority of female online influencers, once they officially announced a partner, it basically meant the end of their career.
Even if, like some female online influencers, she formed a CP with another male influencer to hype up popularity, her fan base silently changed already, and her individual career would inevitably head downhill...
Fan: "I can eat instant noodles to support you, and I can accept that there’s a big guy I don’t know about behind you, uh, daily *ing you, but you can’t just directly @ him."
The special thing about Endme was that she had a lot of female fans, so she could confidently open a couple’s account.
Zhou Wang didn’t know what Hua Suisui was thinking at the moment, just that he could feel her grip on his hand was very tight, slippery and a bit sticky, making Zhou Wang uncomfortable—
He hoped another part of her was like that too.
With his thoughts wandering, Zhou Wang quickly checked the system notifications.
The most genuine reason he was willing to accompany Hua Suisui to walk the red carpet was that he wanted to test if [Conqueror] collected emotions only by "face-to-face"...
At this moment, behind those cameras, and the millions of viewers watching live on Weibo and Douyin, Zhou Wang didn’t feel he was shockingly handsome, but at least should probably dazzle 280 girls, right?
If Jiji King could be an idol, he had no reason to be worse.
But after checking the system notifications, Zhou Wang found that the system indeed didn’t leave any online loopholes; by the end of the red carpet, he received 4 praises, 8 exclamations, and 1 admiration.
Excluding the "admiration" that should be from Hua Suisui, the remaining praises and exclamations were from the audience and photographers on one side, with no trace of online interactions.
"Zhou Wang, Zhou Wang... Zhou Wang gege~"
The change of tone in Hua Suisui’s voice finally startled Zhou Wang.
When he looked back, he realized that somehow, the two of them had already reached the end of the red carpet, and behind, the celebrity Wu Kequn was already waving and smiling at the media while stepping onto the red carpet.
When their eyes met with Zhou Wang at the end of the red carpet, Wu Kequn nodded at him.
Zhou Wang returned a smile.
He had a natural fondness for Wu Kequn, though limited by the era, he hadn’t really heard a few of his songs, but...
Wu Kequn, being from Taiwan, yet currently residing in Ming City, was pretty much his half "fellow countryman," Zhou Wang had once unexpectedly encountered him when he went to Haigeng Dam to feed seagulls during college, though Wu Kequn might not remember. They even took a picture together.
"Were you a bit nervous just now?"
Beside him, Hua Suisui was still snickering because, in her view, Zhou Wang seemed a little out of it.
Zhou Wang didn’t explain anything to her, just patted her springy butt with displeasure, "What number is your program that you’re so leisurely?"
Hua Suisui yelped softly, quickly looked back and saw no one seemed to notice, so she finally relaxed; however, reminded by Zhou Wang, she suddenly remembered she still had to go on stage.
The event started at 8 PM, and the host should have started warming up the crowd by now...
"Zhou Wang gege, then I’ll go first!
After lightly hugging Zhou Wang, Hua Suisui quickly lifted her skirt and ran off.
Leaving the red carpet area, Biaozi, who initially stood far away, silently approached and whispered, "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhang invited you to visit the VIP lounge backstage at the event if you have the time."
"What to do there?"
Zhou Wang, who had planned to wander around, paused.
"The people from official cultural tourism institutions and media organizations are over there..." Biaozi explained.
Zhou Wang suddenly realized, in today’s world, online influencers weren’t just handsome men and beautiful women. Even official institutions from all over have joined the scene. For example, the cultural tourism sector gave rise to several influencer leaders.
Despite their identities, they were willing to shoot using popular short video methods like "costume change," which itself was a kind of contrast, with pretty good effects in attracting fans and traffic.
Wuyou Media invited all these people to tonight’s event; they would perform a song together "Happy Hometown."
"Okay, lead the way."
After he figured it out, Zhou Wang nodded.
...
In a private room at a local old-style firewood chicken restaurant in Ming City.
Amidst laughter and merriment, Li Cheng couldn’t withstand the cheering from those around and had another drink, causing his girlfriend, Yu Peipei, next to him, to roll her eyes and gently pinch him.
"It’s rare for so many old classmates to gather together, it makes me happy!"
Faced with Yu Peipei’s discontent, Li Cheng just gave an embarrassed smile.
"Exactly, Peipei, don’t mind him today, we’ve been saying to meet up, and only today’s reunion event could gather everyone. Next time, who knows when our class will meet again..."
Another male voice chimed in, drawing agreement from the crowd.
Class reunions after college graduation were much harder to organize than those in high school or even middle school, because everyone came from various places, unlike high school where everyone came from the same place, and there would always be times when you returned home...
