Chapter 103 A Little Trouble
However, this elegance soon encountered a real challenge—high heels.
In the live broadcast room, she would occasionally stand up and move gracefully into the moonlight, but she seemed to lack the strength to handle the high stilettos that matched her dress on the red carpet.
She walked with extreme caution, her steps small and slow, her body leaning slightly forward to maintain balance; that sense of composure was quietly slipping away in her slightly stiff gait.
Especially after a small, almost imperceptible stumble, she subconsciously adjusted her skirt, a fleeting hint of embarrassment crossing her face. Her carefully maintained elegance was instantly diminished, making her appear somewhat awkward.
As the camera zooms in, her face still has the familiar, delicate features, but without the carefully adjusted live-streaming filter and soft lighting, it has lost some of its refinement.
But she is undoubtedly a beautiful woman.
As the moonlight embraced the scene, another wave of flashbulbs went off at the entrance to the red carpet.
This time, it's the male anchors who are taking the stage.
First up was Qingyan, a senior student from the talent area, whose magnetic voice captivated many listeners.
He wore a well-tailored dark gray suit with a light blue shirt underneath, no tie, and the collar slightly open, attempting to create a casual yet stylish "Su-esque" look. However, when his figure was fully exposed to the bright lights of the red carpet and countless cameras, the mysterious charm created by his online persona seemed to be diluted considerably by reality.
The official height listed as 181cm has now been debunked; he looks to be at most 175cm.
Although her legs looked relatively long thanks to her good proportions and the suit, avoiding the awkwardness of a 50/50 split, her overall presence was clearly limited on the open red carpet, lacking the expected imposing and commanding aura.
Away from the carefully adjusted lighting and filters of the live streaming room, even with proper makeup, his skin condition looked slightly ordinary under the strong light. His features were still handsome, but he looked more like a clean-cut and refreshing young man commonly seen in real life.
The "handsome guy vibe" that you see during live streams is gone.
Following closely behind is Watanabe Yamano, the top guy in the looks category.
Judging solely by his face, he certainly withstood the rigorous test of the camera in real life. Beneath his meticulously styled hair lies a face with well-defined features and excellent skin. Even in front of the unfiltered, high-definition camera, he still looks refined and handsome, truly deserving of the title of the face of the visual category.
However, the sense of amazement diminishes slightly when the gaze is lowered.
His height has never been listed in Wataru's information, leading many to believe that he must be short and therefore he is afraid to write it down.
Now that I've seen the real person, it turns out these people were right.
He looks to be only about 170cm tall.
Even though Watanabe was already wearing a pair of high-heeled platform shoes, trying his best to make himself taller.
Unfortunately, he was rather thin, with narrow shoulders and a small frame, so even height-increasing shoes wouldn't be very effective.
The combination of a delicate face and a slightly cramped physique creates a peculiar visual effect.
He has the face of a top-tier handsome man, but his overall aura and physique are rather ordinary.
Last to appear was Longchuan from the gaming area.
Longchuan is considered handsome in the gaming section, but that's only because he's in the gaming section.
But this time, perhaps because the two were too exquisite and handsome online, they were actually more handsome than Longchuan when they looked at each other offline.
However, with expectations already high, many people now feel that Longchuan is actually more handsome than he is online.
Longchuan was almost identical to the one seen in the live stream. After all, he was a professional player, and many people had seen him in person when he participated in competitions.
He wore a well-made dark casual suit jacket, a simple white T-shirt underneath, well-fitting dark trousers, and a pair of clean sneakers.
Standing over 180cm tall, he has an upright posture and well-proportioned figure. He walks with a slightly casual yet energetic gait, characteristic of game streamers.
Without the embellishment of foundation, his skin glowed with a healthy luster under natural light. His eyebrows and eyes were clear, his smile was clean and cheerful, and he exuded an unadorned, vibrant energy.
[Holy crap! Nan Zhi's wife's height... what happened to the cool and aloof queen she was supposed to be?! This puffy skirt makes her look like a figurine!]
[Her head is bigger than an assassin's! This dress makes her head look huge! Did the director have a grudge against me by cutting to her full body?? (covers eyes)]
[Filter Deception! Online Ice Queen, Offline Sweet Girl Figurine? This is a classic case of seller's photos vs. buyer's photos (slams table)]
[Sister Moonlight walks as if she's defusing landmines! High heels: I can't carry this elegant persona anymore! (Slams table and laughs wildly)]
[Regarding the "talent zone queen's penguin impersonation on the red carpet"—I couldn't hold back anymore, hahaha!]
[Watanabe's face: A god descended to earth! Watanabe's height: A god... fell into a pit? (Tactical inhale)]
[Qingyan's height... 181cm shrunk to 175cm? We suggest a thorough investigation of the height-increasing insole supplier in the livestream!]
[Hilarious! This guy in the looks section defies the laws of physics with his face! Are those platform shoes or stilts? Director, stop filming his whole body covered in balls!]
[The director deserves a bonus! He's taking full-body photos just to benefit the audience (laughs hilariously)]
[Dragon God! The gaming section has won a round! This sneakers and suit combination actually worked?!]
[Summary: The musical note filter is magic! The offline meet-and-greet was practically a massive demystification event (hands clasped in prayer)]
After the five players left, only Shu Hua remained, this year's biggest dark horse.
After a brief silence at the entrance to the red carpet, Shu Hua finally appeared amidst a sudden burst of camera shutters and screams that far exceeded the previous noise.
In an instant, the noise seemed to subside, leaving only a strong visual impact.
This time, Shu Hua changed her usual lazy demeanor in the live broadcast room and wore a bright red haute couture dress.
The dress was designed to be extremely simple yet powerful, with flowing lines that resembled flames, perfectly outlining her figure.
This dress showcases Shu Hua's superior shoulder and neck lines and delicate collarbones. Her slender waist is tightly cinched, and the hem features a neat high slit design. With each step she takes, her straight and long legs can be vaguely seen peeking through the dazzling red silk.
The dress has no complicated decorations; its intense colors and impeccable design alone make it radiant and exude a powerful aura.
Her skin was as white as snow, almost glowing against the intense red makeup. Her delicate features, which usually appeared casual and even somewhat naive in the live stream, were now sharply defined under the professional and heavy makeup.
Her deep eyes were made even more alluring, and her gaze was calm beneath her thick eyelashes, carrying a sense of detachment as if she were looking down at the red carpet.
In addition, with her height of nearly 170 cm, unlike the previous streamers who had more or less "broken online filter", Shu Hua stepped from the virtual world into reality. Instead of fading, she seemed to break free from some kind of constraint, and completely released her unique beauty and temperament in a more three-dimensional and shocking way.
[Holy crap!!!]
[Am I blind?! Who is this?! Is this really my little rascal who looks like he's about to fall apart even when he's just stretching during his live stream?!]
[Ahhhhhh, my wife! (voice cracks)]
[Red dress! She's going crazy! Her aura is off the charts!!!]
[A stunning beauty! Mom, I've met a real goddess!! A million times more beautiful than in the live stream!]
[That height! That proportion! Those legs! You were hiding this so well, Huazai!!! (pounds the ground)]
[Help! That little squinting gesture to block the light! The languid beauty transforms into a cold and aloof queen, but deep down she's still a lazy cat! (Clutches heart)]
[Those who laughed at her for being slouching offline, come out and take your punishment! That posture, that aura—she's a true red carpet queen!]
[Screenshot taken (Set as wallpaper) (Looping playback) (Passed away peacefully)]

After their individual red carpet moments, the six individuals, guided by staff, entered a bright and spacious private interview room.
The interview room was far less spacious than the red carpet. The six people lined up in order of appearance, standing in front of a backdrop with a huge logo of Yinpu Live, ready to receive a group interview before the final.
When the six people finally stood on the same plane, the differences in height and physique that had been weakened by distance and individual appearances on the red carpet were instantly compressed and magnified, becoming incredibly clear.
Standing on the far left is Nan Zhi. Having shed the "figure-like" aura created by her tutu on the red carpet, standing next to the crowd, her petite stature is magnified. Especially with Yue Se Ru Huai to her right, who is already considerably taller and wearing stilettos, Nan Zhi appears even more delicate and petite.
What's even more striking is that, in close-up, side-by-side comparisons, Nan Zhi's face is almost the same size as Yue Se Ru Huai's, making Nan Zhi's already poor head-to-body ratio appear even more cramped.
And without having to move around, the elegant charm of being embraced by the moonlight has returned considerably.
The two male anchors, both of whom were underweight, were instantly overshadowed when standing next to Longchuan, whose height was undeniable.
Standing on the far right, Shu Hua seemed to be bathed in her own spotlight. Her height of nearly 170cm was made even more elongated by the perfect tailoring of the red dress.
The simple yet sharp lines perfectly showcased her superior head-to-body ratio, shoulder and neck line, waist-to-hip ratio, and long legs.
The intense red color accentuated her snow-white skin, and her features, framed by heavy makeup, exuded a cold and aloof elegance. Her very presence was a powerful visual impact.
Standing next to Longchuan, their tall figures and excellent proportions created a wonderful harmony and aura, as if dividing the interview room into two worlds.
The six people stood side by side, and the differences in height, weight, proportions, and postures were clearly visible under the lights of the interview room.
Previously, everyone could hold their own on the red carpet, relying on their aura or clothing style to maintain the scene. But now, on this small stage for comparison, the powerful "magic filter" of the live broadcast room has been completely stripped away, and the real physical differences have become the most direct and cruel point of view.
Before the host could even speak, this silent "body battleground" had already kicked off the grand finale's offline celebration.
[Holy crap!!! Was the director doing the wide shot on purpose?! The contrast is just too jarring! (Screams while covering eyes)]
[Warning: High-energy content ahead! A massive "truth serum" is on display! The musical note filter is no longer available!]
[Hahaha, director, you deserve a bonus! This side-by-side comparison isn't very hurtful, but it's extremely insulting!]
【Zhi! My Zhi! She looks sweet on her own, but standing together, she looks like a chibi doll huddled in the corner! (Pounds the ground) Sister Yue Se, quickly share some of her height!】
[Moonlight Sister's elegance will last forever (forced to save face)! She's a goddess as long as she's not walking! But Nan Zhi next to her looks like a tall girl on her own (trying not to laugh)]
[I can't laugh anymore! Male streamers from the talent and looks sections teamed up to feed kills to the game section! Longchuan: Turns out I'm the real looks guy (tactical lean back)]
[The Totoro duo standing together is strangely harmonious! Both exude an Aura! Their height difference is overwhelming! The pride of the gaming area! (Voice cracks)]
[Game section, drawing characters?]
[Hua Zai led Xun Shen to victory against the Dragon God in a game, so why isn't it considered a game zone?]
Inside the interview room, the six people, guided by the host, awkwardly greeted each other and made a group appearance facing the camera.
Shu Hua was trying her best to maintain that polite, distant smile on her face, while silently calculating how long it would be before she could sit down.
The dress today was prepared by He Peiji. She hadn't asked him beforehand. Anyway, He Peiji had bought her clothes before, and Shu Hua trusted his aesthetic sense.
The result of this trust is that while the dress is beautiful today, beauty comes at a price, as we all know.
She really went through a lot of trouble to keep her face looking perfect, all to match the style of this dress.
Today, she even wore high heels, which was unusual for her. Although He Peiji had found her a pair that was easy to walk in, Shu Hua still felt uncomfortable.
If it weren't for the large crowd on the red carpet, she would have forced herself to walk properly for the sake of appearances.
After the six people finished greeting each other, the host cleared his throat, picked up the microphone, and was just about to ask the first question when he suddenly heard the director's instructions through his earpiece.
At the same time, a piercing "sizzle" sound rang out in the live stream.
The host's expression changed slightly, then he gave the camera a smile that was clearly apologetic and even a little flustered.
"I'm so sorry! To all the hosts and viewers watching the live stream!"
We have just received an urgent notification that there has been a sudden technical malfunction in the live broadcast signal and interview system.
The host quickened his pace: "To ensure the smooth running of the final competition, the organizers have decided, after an emergency meeting, to temporarily cancel this group interview segment! Thank you for your understanding and support! Our final competition will be broadcast live at 7:30 PM tonight. See you there!"
The moment the words were spoken, before the anchors and staff could react, and before the audience could even have a moment to process them, the large screen on the backdrop went black instantly, and the live stream signal was cleanly and decisively cut off.
【？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？】
[Holy crap?! The sunflower seeds and drinks were gone as soon as I set them out?!]
[Technical malfunction? Are you kidding me? I've already taken my pants off and this is what you show me?!]
[The engineer who makes musical notes is out of chicken drumsticks tonight!!! Pay deduction!!!]
【Aaaaaaah, I haven't had enough of the red dress I drew for my character!!! Why was it cut off?!】
[Director!! Cut back!! I want to see their bewildered expressions!!! (Frustrated)]
[What kind of technical glitch is this? I stopped using that excuse in elementary school! Something's definitely wrong!]
[Was the comparison too stark, and the platform afraid of being criticized, so they abruptly cut it off? (Just kidding)]
So... what do we do now? Just wait until 7:30 PM?
[Okay, okay, let's all go. Technical repairs? Let's keep working on it until the finals start. (Lights a cigarette)]
[Musical notes, as expected of you, never missing a moment of mischief (smile)]
