3 – Obscure celeb outshines popular young actress on the red carpet
The camera captured a stunning beauty from afar.
Snowy skin, crimson lips, jet-black hair, and bright eyes—the shimmering silver-blue fishtail skirt rippled like waves, as if a mermaid was swaying gracefully toward them.
Especially around her, there seemed to be ethereal, drifting feathers.
The photographers on-site collectively grew excited. “Quick, take the shot! This is a legendary photo, absolutely legendary!!”
?
Wait a minute.
Where did those feather effects come from? Could she really be a fairy?
As the mermaid beauty came to a stop, the “feather effects” behind her also stepped forward.
Zhu Luoling, panting heavily, tucked her hair behind her ear and forced a gentle, shy smile. “Sorry, I’m late.”
Smiling on the outside, cursing on the inside.
Had Bo Zhi secretly trained for an 800-meter race walk?! Zhu Luoling’s high heels were practically on fire, yet she still couldn’t catch up.
The photographers were stunned.
This wasn’t some feather effect—it was the popular rising star herself.
They asked in surprise, “Miss Zhu, why are you…”
How could a star of her stature be trailing behind a minor celebrity?
Zhu Luoling hadn’t expected this either. She could only cast a pitiful, pleading look at Bo Zhi, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
The live comments exploded—
【Who is this nobody, daring to block our Zhu Zhu’s red carpet? Does she have a death wish?】
【An 18th-tier star upstaging a popular rising star on the red carpet? Bold move. Isn’t she afraid of being dragged on social media?】
【It’s Bo Zhi, no wonder. She’s a regular on the hot searches, famously lacking in manners.】
【Isn’t it obvious? The mistress ran into the real deal and got embarrassed, that’s all.】
All eyes at the scene were now fixed on Bo Zhi. However, the Bo Zhi of today was radiantly beautiful, nothing like the rumors suggested.
She blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Zhu Luoling in confusion. “I was wondering the same thing. Wasn’t Miss Zhu’s red carpet slot scheduled before mine? How did you end up behind me?”
Zhu Luoling was left speechless.
The red carpet order was public, with stars walking in order of seniority and popularity. That was indeed the case.
She had intended to upstage Bo Zhi on the red carpet but ended up being outmaneuvered instead.
Zhu Luoling gave her a deep look before turning back to the camera with a sweet, apologetic smile. “I’m sorry, I was late today. I was just so engrossed watching the Mosella Music Festival backstage…”
As she spoke, she remembered her manager’s instructions and shyly lowered her lashes, a faint blush spreading across her cheeks.
The mention of the Mosella Music Festival immediately diverted everyone’s attention.
【Ahhh, the Mosella Music Festival, Yan Shen!!】
【Is Zhu Zhu also a fan of Yan Shen? Ahhh, I’m so happy to share the same idol as my goddess!】
【Missing the red carpet because she was watching her idol? Zhu Zhu is just too adorable, hahaha.】
【So it wasn’t Bo intentionally upstaging Zhu—Zhu was just late herself.】
【Just because she was late, does that mean she can be blocked? Couldn’t Bo Zhi have waited for Zhu Zhu? Let’s be honest, Bo Zhi did it on purpose!】
【…………】
To lighten the mood, the host joked, “I never expected Zhu Zhu to be a fan of Yan Shen. I wonder if Brother Chen You will get jealous, hahaha.”
Zhu Luoling lowered her gaze, blushing as she smiled. “No, no.”
Hearing Chen You’s name—the popular rising star who had once been paired with Bo Zhi in a publicity stunt—Bo Zhi couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
Instantly, the sound of camera shutters erupted around her, like machine gun fire.
Bo Zhi: “…”
Great.
Now she was definitely trending again.
As expected, within ten minutes, the trending hashtag #Bo Zhi rolls eyes at Chen You’s name on red carpet# shot up the hot search list.
【Is this sister at it again?】
【Hahaha I’m dying with this hot search topic.】
【I remember genuinely shipping this CP back in the day, what a spectacular breakup it turned out to be.】
【Seriously? People actually ship the homewrecker clinging on? He has a legitimate girlfriend, okay?】
【Off-topic, but I saw the photo—this sister’s looks are insane. Even rolling her eyes, she doesn’t ruin the shot.】
【Good looks? Hmph, more like good plastic surgery, right?】
The comments under the trending topic were nothing short of a battlefield.
As for why no fans came to clean up the mess, it was because Bo Zhi simply had no fans.
Her 300,000 anti-fans were currently busy spamming her latest Weibo post.
【Rolling eyes on the red carpet—only you could pull that off [thumbs up]】
One comment thread alone had been neatly spammed over a thousand times.
Bo Zhi: “…”
In her ear was Gong Yan’s exasperated scolding, “I know you can’t stand them, but couldn’t you have held it in?”
Back when they were schemed against, even Gong Yan was furious.
But what’s done is done—they could only try to minimize the damage. Bo Zhi’s eye-roll was something she truly hadn’t anticipated.
“I tried to hold it in.”
Bo Zhi said seriously, “I just couldn’t.”
She still vividly remembered how Chen You had fawned over her like a lapdog back then.
Just thinking about how he had relentlessly pursued her while already having a legitimate girlfriend made her sick to her stomach.
That eye-roll was nothing but a genuine, heartfelt reaction.
While listening to Gong Yan’s scolding, Bo Zhi replied to comments.
【Trending in creative ways, getting roasted every single time. Tell me, how many more surprises do you have that I don’t know about?】
【Bo Zhi V: I could also smash your skull with a backhand. Wanna try?】
【So you’re getting defensive now? Why bother clinging to him anyway? Even I can’t stand that scumbag and his trashy girlfriend.】
【Bo Zhi V: Author liked (and roasted) this】
【My focus is a bit unusual—this little girl’s looks are quite unique. Walk the red carpet more often, you’re making me drool with those moves~】
【Bo Zhi V: Every single word in my reply was typed with a middle finger raised.】
【…………】
Gong Yan was shocked to see that, in the blink of an eye, this troublemaker had already started clashing with her anti-fans again.
She snatched the phone away, “Confiscated.”
Bo Zhi looked up at her, clearly not done venting.
Gong Yan said irritably, “Alright, I know you’re upset. Let’s go eat hotpot.”
Bo Zhi blinked, “Your treat?”
Her eyes sparkled like a little money-grubber.
Gong Yan sighed, “My treat.”
Bo Zhi immediately jumped up from the sofa, her gloom instantly vanishing.
She hugged Gong Yan’s arm, “Yanzi, I really can’t live without you, Yanzi.”
Gong Yan: “…” Just asking—is this what they call a female celebrity?
She tapped Bo Zhi’s forehead, “I’ve never managed anyone as stingy as you.”
Bo Zhi spread her hands, “I’m broke.”
Although her family was wealthy, she had declared she would make it in the entertainment industry on her own, so she couldn’t ask them for money.
As for her usual appearance fees… being a female celebrity is expensive—buying clothes, bags, and maintaining herself eats it all up.
As an 18th-tier celebrity, it’s gone before she even has a chance to spend it.
Gong Yan, after all, was a top-tier agent and quite generous. With a wave of her hand, she took her assistant and makeup team out for a late-night hotpot feast.
Where there are many girls, it’s always lively and bustling. Bo Zhi has a good personality and gets along well with them.
She had a bit of beer and was driven back to her downtown apartment by a designated driver.
“La~ lalala~ lalala~”
Bo Zhi hummed and sang as she opened the door, “The scumbag and the cheap woman sitting at the alley entrance, holding each other tightly.”
“Staying still right there, like two big roosters…”
The next second, she saw a pitch-black figure sitting on the living room sofa.
Bo Zhi: “Ahhhhhhhhh!!”
