It was a live broadcast, so the actors could see the scrolling comments too.
Gu Luoxi glanced at them and raised an eyebrow, her expression dripping with scorn.
Gu Luosheng was only cracking jokes because she had no actual talents.
When the camera turned to her, Gu Luoxi spoke with poise. "Hello, everyone. I'm Gu Luoxi. I rarely introduced myself before, but I want the people who like me to get to know me better, so today I'd like to give a proper introduction. I have a Grade 9 piano certificate, my dancing has earned recognition from the Professional Dance Association, and I excel in character, academics, athletics, and the arts. I also won third prize in the National Debate Competition."
Everything Gu Luoxi mentioned seemed to be aimed at Gu Luosheng.
Gu Luosheng clicked her tongue softly and shook her head.
She actually had the nerve to show off that pathetic little list?
But the comments went wild.
-Aaaaah, my Xixi is so talented!
-I knew it! Xixi is an all-rounder. She's way better than that Has-Been.
-Sob, sob, Xixi is amazing! A certain Has-Been only knows how to flaunt her figure, but our Xixi is different. She's genuinely talented.
Gu Luosheng sighed and said with an air of solemn conviction, "Those so-called skills can be developed later, but a bad figure is a fundamental flaw. If you weren't born with the right proportions, no amount of effort afterward can make up for it."
Nobody was blind. Whenever Gu Luoxi and Gu Luosheng stood together, the difference in their figures was obvious without even making a comparison.
Gu Luosheng was a natural clothes horse who could make anything she wore look stylish. Gu Luoxi was different-she needed a dedicated designer to make custom outfits for her.
-Gu Luosheng is so arrogant!
-Has she completely given up on herself? She knows she has no chance anymore, so now she's just letting loose?
-I hate Gu Luosheng.
-Xixi, don't stoop to her level. She's just jealous of you.
-Am I the only one who thinks Gu Luosheng's current attitude is exactly how I feel at work? I love how unhinged she is. The day I dare to talk back to my boss like that, I'll have made it.
Hearing that, Gu Luoxi secretly rejoiced.
Heh, so Gu Luosheng had started giving up on herself. Even better. Everyone would think even more highly of me.
"Shengsheng, I know my figure isn't as good as yours, but as actors, we're here to bring everyone better films and television shows. Don't you agree?"
Gu Luosheng tilted her head. "Not necessarily. I think giving everyone something more visually appealing is pretty good too. It helps them relax. Think about it-if you put a pile of shit next to a serving of fragrant rice, which would people choose?"
Although Gu Luosheng hadn't said it outright, everyone understood.
The pile of shit was Gu Luoxi, while the bowl of rice was Gu Luosheng.
That metaphor.
It was truly masterful.
This time, Gu Luoxi was genuinely furious.
But with all those viewers watching, she didn't dare vent her anger. She could only swallow it.
-Pfft, I just took a sip of my drink and spat it everywhere. Gu Luosheng, you owe me!
-How can someone be this good at putting their language-class lessons on metaphors to use?
-I'm dying of laughter. All I can say is, that was vivid.
-The moment Gu Luosheng put it that way, I knew who to pick. I actually caught myself taking a couple more looks at her.
-Crude wording, sound reasoning... honestly, I care about looks too.
-What the hell is wrong with this Gu Luosheng? Did this show really have to invite her? She has no class!
-Exactly. Get lost already and stop chasing clout. What makes a Has-Been like her worthy of sitting with our Xixi?
-What kind of bullshit is that? Just what you'd expect from a bottom-tier celebrity. No acting skills, no manners-she's just relying on that pretty face, isn't she?
Gu Luosheng cheerfully watched the comments scroll past. If she hadn't been busy filming, she would have fired right back.
Oh, one thing had been forgotten: back when she had been wildly popular, besides her acting skills and good looks, there had been one other crucial reason-she had never lost an argument.
So when other people didn't dare take on certain vicious female supporting roles, she jumped right in.
Her guiding principle was to enjoy her own performance, regardless of what happened to anyone else.
Beyond that, all that mattered was enjoying herself as she tore into people, no matter how many times they ended up in the hospital.
Seeing things take a bad turn, the host hurried to get everyone back on track.
"Those were all wonderful introductions. Next, we'll officially begin our dating show, Let's Fall in Love, and see who ends up successfully pairing off."
Only after the host said that did everyone remember this was a dating show.
They were mainly here to watch Gu Luoxi and Shen Zhe.
[Calling the host! You absolutely must stay away from Shen Zhe, or his fans will tear you apart.]
The system's reminder suddenly jogged Gu Luosheng's memory.
Her tragedy had begun with this dating show.
She had fallen for Shen Zhe because of this show, and afterward, things had spiraled out of control.
Unfortunately, Gu Luoxi and Shen Zhe were a match made in heaven. Once Gu Luoxi found out, she had tormented Gu Luosheng in every way imaginable. Shen Zhe was no good either; he had helped Gu Luoxi carry out her cruelty.
In the end, under their combined onslaught, she had died by hanging.
Her death had been utterly tragic.
And nobody had known the truth.
Everyone had assumed that a bottom-tier celebrity like her had killed herself.
She hadn't been popular anyway, so her death had caused barely a ripple at the time.
Just then, Shen Zhe appeared.
As soon as he came out, he instinctively glanced toward Gu Luosheng.
He was supposed to stand near Gu Luoxi, but somehow, he walked straight toward Gu Luosheng instead.
Gu Luosheng's heart lurched.
[You mediocre, overconfident man, don't you dare come anywhere near me.]
[If you come over, I'll definitely get cyberbullied. They'll start saying I'm chasing clout again.]
With that, Gu Luosheng hurriedly stepped aside, nearly squeezing the host off the stage.
The corners of Shen Zhe's lips lifted slightly. Heh, she was just playing hard to get. He'd seen plenty of tricks like this.
After thinking it over, Shen Zhe had figured it out: Gu Luosheng was simply trying to attract his attention this way. But it was a terribly crude tactic.
Since Gu Luosheng was trying so hard, he would give her a little hope, then ridicule her mercilessly.
Meanwhile, Ye Nanshen also saw Shen Zhe standing beside Gu Luosheng.
"Who's that?" Ye Nanshen demanded, his gaze settling on Shen Zhe.
His assistant took a look and hurriedly answered, "Shen Zhe, our company's heartthrob."
It was rare for his boss to show an interest in the entertainment company, so he had to give a proper answer.
"Looking like that qualifies him as a heartthrob?" Ye Nanshen scoffed.
"Yes. Young women like that type these days. Look at that Has-Been standing next to him—she's a die-hard Shen Zhe fan! Although... when did that Has-Been get so pretty?" the assistant muttered.
Ye Nanshen narrowed his eyes. The little one liked this man?
