Chapter 399 I Feel Sorry for Her
The judges had a heated discussion about the final muse of this Muse Competition.
Xu Yi could also see the looks of the judges backstage. She couldn't eat the cake anymore, so she made herself a cup of black tea.
The other contestants all frowned, and everyone looked unhappy.
Lin Rachel was so nervous that she kept rubbing her knees with her hands, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
At this moment, Zhou Zhiyin suddenly grabbed Xu Yi's hand.
Xu Yi held a teacup in his hand and looked at her in slight surprise, "What's wrong?"
"When we return to Jiangcheng this time, please help me say something to Momo."
"say what?"
"In my heart, she will always be my best friend. I was confused when I had a disagreement with him because of Yang Kun. I also said many hurtful things to her. I have always felt uneasy and feel very sorry for her."
Xu Yi's nose was sore because of what she said, "Why are you saying this suddenly? Momo will definitely forgive you. Go back and have a meal and a drink, and everything will be solved."
"And I also want to apologize to you. The Chinese design you used in the competition opened my eyes. I remember you said that no matter who wins first, as long as Chinese style can be displayed in this competition, winning or losing doesn't matter."
"Yeah. I did."
Zhou Zhiyin took a deep breath and said, "I must win this time."
Xu Yi saw something in Zhou Zhiyin's eyes that she had never seen before. She stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say.
"Zhiyin, although I don't know why you suddenly said these words, those things have passed. Those things that made you unhappy have become invisible things that melted into the air and were blown away by the wind."
Xu Yi added, "After we return to Jiangcheng, I still have many things I want to ask you. I have memorized everything you taught me before. You have contributed to my success today."
"No, it's your talent that has brought you to where you are today. I haven't done anything for you."
At this moment, the judges of the Muse competition nodded to each other, and the result of the competition was also entering the countdown.
Zhou Zhiyin stopped talking to Xu Yi and just watched the countdown on the screen quietly.
Ninety seconds. Within ninety seconds, all data will be entered into the system and displayed on the big screen.
As a backstage operator and one of the investors, Song Yanming saw the results of the game at the first opportunity.
He tapped lightly with his finger, and all the data was imported...
With three seconds left on the countdown, Song Yuqian clasped her hands together off the court, "Amitabha, may the Bodhisattva bless us, top three, top three!"
Without any preparation, the top three lists were directly shown on the big screen...
Song Yuqian saw Xu Yi in the second place, then looked up and saw Zhou Zhiyin.
Casillas, who had been performing steadily, was at the bottom of the list, and Judy was not even shortlisted.
Seeing this result, Judy stood up angrily in the backstage, swearing a few times, and the coffee cup broke into pieces. Lin Rachel was also unbelievable, as if a piece of her heart had been hollowed out.
Cassia stood up, covering her lips, tears streaming down her face, "I've never been third..."
For a moment, Xu Yi also felt an indescribable feeling in her heart, as if something was crawling in her heart, densely packed... A tingling sensation swept through her body, making her unable to move.
From the Jiangcheng District competition to the Municipal competition, both competitions she participated in went smoothly, each one more challenging than the last, and she achieved better results each time.
So much so that when the Muse competition entered the re-selection, Xu Yi was full of confidence. Even though she knew that the score gaps among the top ten contestants were not that big, she still felt that she had a chance to get the title of Muse.
Although the second place was within her acceptable range, it was impossible for her not to be sad compared to missing out on the first place.
Zhou Zhiyin held Xu Yi's hand and said, "When I was designing, I saw the color of your design."
Xu Yi was stunned and looked at her in disbelief. "I roughly know what you want to draw. It seems that you can perform very stably in every competition."
Xu Yi shook his head, "My design draft was changed later."
"I know, but has anyone ever told you to trust your first feeling?"
Xu Yi was at a loss. Although everyone in the audience was cheering, she couldn't be happy.
I ranked first in the preliminary round, and second in the final. Although there was only one place difference, the difference was like heaven and earth.
The results were announced on the big screen and the host came on stage and said it again, but Xu Yi couldn't hear clearly what the host was saying. She felt everything around her was blurry.
Except for oneself, the voices of others, the noises of others, and all the time and space around are in a state of stillness.
After the host finished speaking, the designs were announced on the big screen. Xu Yi designed a silver-grey sequined dress, which she felt could reflect the theme of the darkest hour. The neckline still used Chinese-style buttons, but apparently no one liked it.
Cassia's design is also dark, but the style is too monotonous, with a pair of butterfly wings on the back, like an elf in the darkness.
The first place winner was Zhou Zhiyin's design. When Xu Yi saw it, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
The design Zhou Zhiyin created was almost identical to the design Xu Yi threw away the first time, but Zhou Zhiyin changed the embroidery pattern on her black Chinese dress to a black butterfly made of glowing fabric under the light. With every step she took, the butterfly would appear brighter under the light.
Xu Yi's world started moving again. She turned her head and looked at Zhou Zhiyin.
Zhou Zhiyin also looked at her, "I really want to win."
Xu Yi: …
This was something she had never expected, that Zhou Zhiyin would plagiarize her design.
It's obvious that her ability is better than hers, so why would she plagiarize?
But it is not quite accurate to say that it is plagiarism, because if the design is slightly different in detail, the overall effect will be very different...
They look similar, but the tattoos are different, so it can't be considered plagiarism at all.
Xu Yi's expression suddenly turned ugly. It was more confusion than reluctance.
"why?"
"I said, I want to win, this is my answer, you gave me inspiration, Xu Yi."
Zhou Zhiyin held Xu Yi's hand, and Xu Yi pulled his hand away, "Congratulations!"
"You won't be mad at me, will you?"
Zhou Zhiyin touched her face distressedly, "Are you angry?"
"No."
Xu Yi took a deep breath and felt somewhat relieved. "After all, it was my incompetence. Congratulations."
She hugged Zhou Zhiyin, and when she turned around, she raised her hand sadly to wipe away her tears.
With tears blurring her eyes, when she reached the backstage entrance, Xu Yi saw a man standing at the door, opening his arms to her...
