Chapter 25 - 24: Twinkling Stars
In August, Lin Feifei successfully got admitted to the National Film Academy, becoming Ye Qiu's junior, and Du Siqi bought her trending searches.
As she had been studying dance since her childhood, she appeared slim and elegant; with her long hair and white dress, she stood under the shade of trees exuding an 'Immortal Energy'. Moreover, hailing from a family of teachers and excelling in academics from a young age, she quickly garnered positive public feelings online.
Lin Feifei had that kind of pleasing appearance which easily made people feel good about her, her starry eyes seemed to shimmer with moisture all the time, unconsciously making people let their guard down.
It was precisely because of this that in her past life, Ye Qiu would share everything with her and introduced her to Xingyao, which led to her joining forces with Du Siqi and eventually led her to ruin.
Unexpectedly, in this life, without her introduction, the two of them still ended up together after many twists and turns.
Ye Qiu sat in the dark room, chuckling. They were buying trending searches, eh? Well, she might as well kindly lend them a helping hand.
In the evening, when the internet was the most active, various major forums like Weibo, Flower Field, and Tree Bar started to see posts praising Lin Feifei. Initially, it was just sneaky photos from her school days—the blue and white school uniform, the long waist-length hair, which were the epitome of many netizens' first love fantasies—a bunch of homebodies exclaimed in admiration while licking their screens, and a few discordant voices were easily ignored.
Meanwhile, Du Siqi and Lin Feifei constantly monitored the online messages, their faces full of smiles, feeling that the investment in the 'Water Army' was worthwhile.
After the 'School Beauty's First Love' trend gradually subsided after two days, major websites started featuring comparative beauty posts between Lin Feifei and various young actresses, including Ye Qiu. Being from the same school and given the 'senior-junior' relationship, the comparisons between them were intense.
Because Ye Qiu was strikingly beautiful and not exactly the 'good housewife' type, numerous 'Water Armies' slandered her at the comments section as though she had committed heinous crimes while also mocking her for trend-riding.
Ye Qiu had acted in two TV series and a movie, where the movie "The God of Misfortune" made a box office of 1.3 billion. Already having around a million fans, and having appeared on several variety shows, her superb acting and stable personality had earned her good public favor. Being defamed out of the blue naturally caused some people to defend her, but their voices were quickly suppressed by the more numerous opposing voices.
