Not long after, news broke online that Yi Youyou and Fu Qingruo were going to participate in a design competition program, which quickly rose to the top of the trending topics list, with a dark red "hot" tag added after it.
This is enough to show how popular this matter is.
"Oh my god, am I seeing things? These two people are actually in the same frame?"
"I can understand that Yi Youyou is currently riding high, but how can Fu Qingruo possibly have the face to participate! Is she trying to use this show to clear her name? Get as far away from me as possible!"
"Fu Qingruo, who never appears in public, is actually going to participate in a program? It seems she's been driven to the brink!"
"Haha, she deserves it. Who told her to bully and suppress newcomers? I bet she looks like a fat pig, with a face full of pockmarks, sparse hair, and is horribly ugly. She's also vicious and twisted."
"Haha, now that you mention it, why am I suddenly looking forward to it?"
"Who wants to see that ugly monster? Just thinking about it makes me sick. I'm still looking forward to seeing little angel Youyou."
"It's another show that's just trying to generate buzz. I'd never watch it, not even if you paid me."
But no matter how much netizens debated, the design competition still proceeded as scheduled.
As the contestants entered the arena, the chat exploded when it was Yi Youyou's turn.
"Ahhh, Youyou looks so beautiful today, dressed in all white, just like an angel."
"Although I hate to say it, I was immediately struck by her appearance. Is this what they call a visual feast?"
"Compared to her, the others lacked distinctive features and were not as eye-catching as her."
This directly offended the fans of other designers, who immediately expressed their dissatisfaction: "Please, this is a design competition, not a beauty pageant. Can Yi Youyou's fans please shut up?"
Yi Youyou's fans didn't know how to restrain themselves at all. Instead, they smugly said, "What? You can't show off your beauty? If you're jealous, just say so. Blame it on your idol being average-looking. If you can find someone more beautiful, I'll shut up immediately."
The others: "..." So annoying!
"Huh? Where is Fu Qingruo? Did she chicken out at the last minute, or is she afraid that she will look too scary on stage and blind the audience?"
"Hahaha, ugly people are such troublemakers!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the host announced the last contestant, "Please welcome Fu Qingruo to the stage."
The next second, a tall figure appeared in the live broadcast, coming into view of the entire audience.
Her stunningly beautiful face, ethereal and otherworldly, dressed in white that surpasses even the snow, exudes a unique charm that captivates anyone who glances at her with its nobility.
The entire room fell silent.
After a long while, a pop-up message appeared: "Who was it that just called her ugly? Do they want to gouge their own eyes out?"
"Who says there isn't someone more beautiful than Yi Youyou? Her face is in no way inferior to the most popular actresses in the entertainment industry, okay? And her temperament is like that of a celestial being, aloof and noble, like a flower on a high mountain."
"I suddenly understand why she's always refused to show her face; she's afraid that if she's too beautiful, she'll easily dazzle the audience!"
"Hey, I don't know if you guys noticed, but she and Yi Youyou were both dressed in white."
"It's not scary to wear the same clothes as someone else; it's embarrassing if you look worse."
"Cough cough..."
This finally made the haters angry: "You people whose values are based solely on looks are just too much! Just because you're good-looking doesn't mean you can be arrogant and do whatever you want!"
"No matter how beautiful a woman is, she cannot hide the malice in her heart if she has such questionable character."
"With that smug look on her face, no one will be fooled by her!"
"She dares to compare her to Youyou? I spit on her, I wouldn't even want to spit on her twice."
Yi Youyou's fans were really harsh, with the screen filled with filthy and disgusting comments, which made some casual viewers turn against her.
"They say your appearance reflects your heart. I just think that someone as beautiful as Fu Qingruo couldn't possibly be the kind of person who would do such a thing. Isn't this show her way to clarify things? Just wait and see!"
"Stop yelling, it's giving me a headache. Focus on the game."
During the program, the host asked them to introduce themselves and give their competition declarations.
Everyone was very enthusiastic, and following the program's prior notice, they all put in their best effort and exchanged harsh words.
When it was Yi Youyou's turn, she smiled shyly first, and then said in a melodious voice, "Although I am a newcomer and not nearly as famous as you seniors, this is an opportunity I have finally seized, and my determination to win will not be inferior to anyone else's!"
After taking the oath, she turned her gaze to Fu Qingruo and said nervously, "Miss Fu, this time I will prove my strength and determination to you, and I hope you can accept me again."
Isn't this an indirect implication that Fu Qingruo did indeed disagree with her in the past?
A barrage of comments immediately appeared: "[I feel so sorry for Youyou. She must have been terribly bullied before. Now she's cowering in front of that bitch Fu Qingruo.]"
But she was so brave; she never flinched in the face of the forces of darkness.
[I'd like to see how Fu Qingruo tries to explain herself this time. She's on the show to clear her name, right? She'll definitely come up with a whole bunch of excuses.]
During the program, the host turned the conversation to Fu Qingruo, asking, "Ms. Fu, Ms. Yi has formally addressed you. How will you respond to her?"
Fu Qingruo raised her cold eyes and glanced at Yi Youyou with disgust. "You think you're worthy?"
The entire audience was stunned: "..."
No one expected her to say something so arrogant.
[Does this crazy woman have any manners at all?! The younger generation treated her so politely, and she said such awful things.]
That woman has such a foul mouth; she can't even pretend to be respectable in public. It's disgusting.
Haven't you ever considered that if someone doesn't even try to hide their dislike for another, doesn't that suggest there's something wrong with that person?
[...]
[Nonsense, Youyou is the one who was bullied. Don't try to shift the blame onto her.]
During the show, the host laughed and smoothed things over before continuing with the competition.
Are these kinds of shows only interesting because of drama and conflict? The more they pretend and put on a mask, the more hypocritical they seem.
On the contrary, Fu Qingruo's actions are exactly the kind of highlights the show needs.
"This design competition has three themes. In the first stage, please design a refreshing ancient costume based on the fabric provided in the competition."
As soon as the host finished speaking, staff members brought over two tables of fabric.
"I'll count to three, two, one, and everyone can start grabbing the fabric. Whoever gets it keeps it. Each person can only choose two pieces of fabric for their design, but they can also exchange them with other designers. It's all up to you. These are the rules of this competition."
These rules are truly unique and quite novel for the designers.
Everyone was eager to get started, and as soon as the countdown ended with "one," they all rushed to the front of the fabric and grabbed two of their favorite pieces.
Fu Qingruo was the only one missing.
