Chapter 167
At the Haitai City Sports Center's sports plaza, Zhou Xiao searched the crowd for Li Mo. Li Mo had taken the extra ticket she'd previously given him, but Zhou Xiao had no idea how the two had decided.
Li Mo is also a person of action. As soon as the ticket was decided, she bought a plane ticket and flew over. This time, she was the first to arrange a meeting with Zhou Xiao in person.
Zhou Xiao arrived at the square and searched for Li Mo. She couldn't find him, but she did hear a familiar voice. "Xiaoxiao!" A stuffed bear called out from the railing in front of the stadium. As if aware of her gaze, the bear deftly made a big heart sign and waved at her.
Zhou Xiao was initially skeptical, but then suddenly realized what was going on. She quickly walked over to the teddy bear, camera on her back, and gasped in amazement. "Wow, so that's how you defeated Rourou?"
She looked up at the sun high in the sky. Fortunately, the temperature in Zhejiang Province wasn't too high today. Li Mo's doll costume was also relatively light, which saved her some pain. However, the more Zhou Xiao looked at the teddy bear before her, the more she felt a certain goofy, cute, and shrewdness emanating from it. She held the bear's head and said helplessly, "Save some energy, my little sister!"
Zhou Xiao had been staying at the hotel that morning to catch up on variety shows, but this girl called her out and told her to bring her camera. Of course, this wasn't to wait for NINE STAR to come to work. As ambassadors for the Double 11 Shopping Festival, Ji Shao and the others finally didn't have to wait until the last day of rehearsal as usual.
"Hey, Xiaoxiao, can you please film a cheering video for me?" Li Mo pulled out two red banners with gold lettering from somewhere. Zhou Xiao took a closer look and saw that one of them read, "Ji Shao! Come to my house for dinner next time!" The other read, "Ji Shao! Mom loves watching your performances!"
Surrounding the stadium, even though it was morning, the plaza was already crowded with fans, as the stadium was hosting the Double 11 (Singles' Day) gala. Since Li Mo was standing by the entrance railing, many people passing by would glance at him, seemingly curious as to why the advertising bear wasn't chasing them around handing out flyers.
Realizing that Li Mo's doll costume was too conspicuous, especially with the two banners draped over his arms, Zhou Xiao pulled up one of the doll's furry sleeves and said as they walked, "Okay, I'll take pictures of you! Let's find a place with few passersby!"
…
This year's Double 11 (Singles' Day) Gala was particularly lively, with many celebrities even releasing their departure photos the night before. Many netizens, eager to have some fun, joked that the gala shouldn't be called the Double 11 Shopping Festival, but rather the "Chinese Entertainment Artists' Showcase" stage.
Zhao Yitong, meanwhile, was receiving a gua sha massage from her makeup artist while checking the trending search list. In the Chinese entertainment industry, young artists generally don't ignore trending search lists, unless their schedules are too tight to keep up. Even then, agents will be on hand to remind artists what to say and what not to say during red carpet interviews.
"Sister, should we move the photo taken by Zhou Xiao to the first post published by the studio?" Zhao Yitong turned around and said to her agent Sun Manping who was sitting in the dressing room.
The makeup artist seemed accustomed to sudden turns, deftly raising her hand as she turned. The assistant, standing nearby and tearing open a face mask, paused at this remark. Then, after receiving a glare from her master, she quickly lowered her head and swiftly opened the package.
Sun Manping didn't rush back to her own artist. Instead, she looked at the makeup artist and asked, "Is Yitong's swelling going down soon?"
The makeup artist nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, Sister Sun. I'll make sure you'll look beautiful as Miss Zhao when you walk the red carpet later!"
So, under the entry #Cheng Xiaocheng Mermaid Princess#, a trending search entry #Zhao Yitong black makeup# soon appeared.
——【Entertainment Forum】——[November 11th, noon]

Zhao Yitong is really better than Cheng Xiaocheng today. Is the studio getting smart? The photo is very textured.

Mermaid meets business revenge woman, I choose Zhao! If this sister gives a little effort on the red carpet today, she can directly step on Cheng's beauty to get to the top.

Hiss, it's rare to see everyone in the comment section turn against my sister Tong today, could it be that they are just water army? (Just kidding, I don't know the fandom
204L
Why did people always step on Zhao Yitong's front and right face before!!! I will throw this set of pictures directly at the haters! My wife is so beautiful!
…
After Zhao Yitong's studio released this set of pictures, the comments section immediately exploded. However, unlike the usual complaints and dissatisfaction, this time there was almost no fan manipulation of the comments section, and the front row was full of people spontaneously praising the studio's pictures today.
Sun Manping watched her fans, their faces as happy as if it were Chinese New Year, but she couldn't feel happy at all. She had originally planned to release Zhou Xiao's photos as the second set. She had seen the first set, and while it looked generally decent, she knew it would be flawless and would be picked on by her discerning fans.
But are fans always this picky? No. The imperfections of the first set can lower their expectations, but once the second set exceeds their original expectations, the joy they feel is more than doubled.
The photos taken by Zhou Xiao were originally intended to be a stunning ending, but Sun Manping looked back at Zhao Yitong. If she had won the red carpet, she shouldn't have received much criticism, right?
…
In the afternoon, near the start of the red carpet show, Zhou Xiao was seen pulling a bear through the crowd, where everyone turned heads. She had asked Cheese to reserve a front-row seat for her.
Some fans were initially skeptical, thinking that just because you're a fan club member, you have privileges. Can you just stand in the front row? But when they saw the teddy bear on the Cheese phone, they swallowed their words. Some even started arguing over who would give up their spot for the teddy bear.
"Oh my god, Xiaoxiao, I'm sweating profusely." Li Mo, who had repeatedly rejected the "evil hands" of the young ladies offline along the way, now covered the little tail ball behind her doll costume and followed Zhou Xiaodao who was leading her to "fight" a bloody path.
"..." Zhou Xiao was silent for a moment. Who was that person who had been excitedly taking photos with the pretty girls in the square? Zhou Xiao originally wanted to take Li Mo over before there were too many people around, but this guy was still immersed in the fun of cosplaying as a stuffed bear.
The stadium's red carpet was securely blocked off by two layers of railings, and the entrance was wide enough for a nanny van to park sideways. Zhou Xiao and Cheese were standing on wide wooden benches in the back. Looking at the clearly elevated view, she silently gave Cheese a thumbs-up. But why didn't any of her fans seem too tall?
"What a lively guy!" Cheese couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Li Mo, who was leaning against the railing at the front of the crowd and shaking hands with his fellow actors like a star.
When Zhou Xiao heard this, he thought of the video saved in his camera. He thought, this isn't a big deal yet. When the video is released later, everyone can see how active Big E is offline.
The temperature seemed to be the main factor in the speed of the red carpet, as the artists and guests were all passing by very quickly. Halfway through the red carpet, Zhou Xiao spotted Zhao Yitong, wearing a yellow, rose-covered tutu dress.
Unsurprisingly, screams rang out from the crowd. Cheese, who was standing nearby, turned around and exclaimed to Zhou Xiao, "This skirt is so beautiful!"
The dress is beautiful but not great. Zhao Yitong's makeup this time was clear and clean, but this slightly simple style was quickly "eaten" by the big dress. It seems that she tried so hard to make people ignore the beauty of her face.
Zhou Xiao looked at the hem of the skirt that fluttered as Zhao Yitong turned, and inwardly echoed Cheese's words, "This skirt is really beautiful."
The next second, she saw two nanny cars in the distance heading straight for the red carpet entrance. Zhou Xiao subconsciously raised her camera and saw Ji Shao stepping onto the red carpet.
Pinned to his black suit jacket was the same chinaberry flower brooch Zhou Xiao had seen last time. As if by team agreement, each of the other members also wore a brooch. Each of the nine brooches had its own unique design, but each one was adorned with a sparkling diamond. It shimmered in the sunlight.
"Ji Shao!" "Xiao Shao!" "Brother Ji!" "..." Fans standing on the red carpet cheered enthusiastically, and Ji Shao, who was walking on the red carpet, also trotted over to wave to everyone. Soon, the closer he got to the fans offline, the brighter his smile became.
When he saw Li Mo, wearing a doll costume, dancing in the crowd and attracting his attention, Ji Shao couldn't help but clench his fist and coughed softly, suppressing his smile and moving closer to the railing.
The teddy bear across from him took this opportunity to grab a random banner hanging on the railing and started dancing. Ji Shao couldn't help but laugh this time. When he put his hands on the first railing, the fans who were watching the fun offline went crazy!
After Ji Shaoshun walked away from the banner held in the teddy bear's hand, he also touched the teddy bear's head, and then leisurely followed the pace of his teammates in front of him and entered the stadium.
Li Mo, who had been touched on the top of her head by Ji Shao, was feeling dizzy. She had been planning to do it all, so why was she being turned down?! Luckily, the fans around knew not to pat the doll's head, so even if someone wanted to touch it, they were worried about an incident offline.
Li Mo could feel the intense gazes from all around her even from within her doll costume. She covered the bear's head with her hands and moved toward the outside of the crowd. The line wasn't as crowded as before, and she soon found Zhou Xiao on the periphery amidst the exclamations of people pointing and pointing at her.
Zhou Xiao looked at Li Mo, who was running for her life in the crowd, and wanted to go down to help her. But when he saw the crowd quickly dispersed, he stayed on the wooden bench and waited for her to arrive.
Cheese, who was standing by, looked at Li Mole, who was still holding her head in front of the two of them and said, "You've already come out, why are you still holding your head?"
Li Mo didn't have the energy to reply to Cheese right now. Her eyes sparkled in her doll costume. She excitedly looked at Zhou Xiao and said, "Xiao Xiao! Ji Shao touched my head! Did you see that?"
Zhou Xiao was amused and responded with a smile, "I saw it! I patted your head and even took your support banner!"
But the stuffed bear in front of him opened the hand that had been holding his head and said happily, "Xiaoxiao, come on! You are the first person to touch my head after Ji Shao!"
"Ah!" Zhou Xiao looked at the little bear, who had opened his arms and jumped a little. His smile deepened. "Okay, then I'll touch you once! The second one will be for you!"
