Though the black dress leaned toward casual wear, its elegant and dignified design still commanded the red carpet just as powerfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the two women stepped onto the red carpet, they instantly became the focal point of surrounding reporters, snapping countless rolls of film.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ladies, this way, please.” A staff member in a black suit hurried over to guide Luo Quan and Wen Xia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff member led them to a large cardboard panel bearing the logo “2016 Weibo Night,” beneath which were densely packed signatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A protocol attendant handed them two markers; Wen Xia and Luo Quan took them and, with practiced ease, scribbled their names across the board in bold, flowing strokes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After signing, the two women walked toward the interior of the convention center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Weibo Night was primarily a live-streamed event, the number of fans present was relatively small—perhaps only ten thousand or so—and their seats were all arranged at the back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Celebrities, however, sat in the front rows, close to the stage, for easy access when receiving awards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan and Wen Xia were seated in the first row; according to Weibo Night’s unspoken rule, one of them was certain to win an award.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One of us is definitely going up there to collect an award!” Wen Xia whispered into Luo Quan’s ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How can you be so sure?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are only three rows for celebrities. Those seated in the front row are either extremely popular—or they’re winning awards. That way, staff can easily direct cameras to them. Those in the second and third rows are just extras—they’ll just clap along the whole night.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan smiled: “Then it’s probably you. I’ve only been in the industry for a month and a half—what popularity could I possibly have?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xia shook her finger: “Don’t be so sure. Your songs are huge in China—every platform’s charts are dominated by your tracks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan snorted: “Huge? My album hasn’t even sold seventy thousand copies since release—all free downloads!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xia laughed: “What can you do? Your album’s priced too high. If it were cheaper, sales would’ve looked much better.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their cheerful conversation immediately caught the attention of the cameramen, who promptly turned the live-streaming camera toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Weibo Night hadn’t officially begun, the livestream had already started; staff were still making adjustments, and seated celebrities were all trying to win the cameramen’s favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the old saying goes: beauty, like heroism, does not permit the world to see its white hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though many top female celebrities were present—some even internationally influential—they had all paid for their achievements with their youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luo Quan and Wen Xia were still eighteen or nineteen, in the full bloom of youth; even without artificial collagen or makeup, their faces remained fresh and plump, glowing under the spotlight even without heavy foundation or cosmetics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s the advantage of youth. One was last year’s Most Beautiful in Asia; the other was called “a walking dream.” In pure looks alone, they matched—and even surpassed—the veteran actresses beside them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, even though Wen Xia and Luo Quan made no effort to attract camera attention, the cameramen still gladly focused on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the vast majority of Weibo Night viewers were in their early twenties—young, beautiful girls were far more pleasing to the eye than aging actresses painted green like old cucumbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the camera broadcast continued, viewers watching the livestream now saw the two young actresses whispering to each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They sat shoulder to shoulder, their faces nearly touching, laughing and chatting with obvious intimacy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their fans immediately flooded the screen with comments:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve heard Wen Xia and Luo Quan were friends, but I didn’t expect them to be this close!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t Wen Xia say before? They’ve known each other for nearly ten years—childhood friends since they were little.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s probably more than just childhood friends~~~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you hinting at, guy in front? (manual funny face)”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The chemistry is off the charts—I’m shipping this couple.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I really want to soak in the hot spring (dog face)”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re actually a genius—Wen Xia and Luo Quan? That’s ‘Wen Quan’—hot spring!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Add me—I don’t know how to soak either.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To be blunt, anyone wanting to soak in the hot spring is a Taobao member.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As comments scrolled rapidly, Wen Xia and Luo Quan noticed the camera trained on them; they sat up straight, smiled, and waved at the lens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cameramen, seeing this, quickly shifted focus to other waiting celebrities—after all, this was a star-studded Weibo Night; filming only two people wouldn’t do. At least all first-row guests needed coverage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Invited celebrities gradually entered and took their seats; after the two hosts took the stage and made final adjustments, they announced in an enthusiastic tone: “The 2016 Weibo Night is officially underway!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wave of applause erupted from the audience, but the fans in the back barely moved—it was the celebrities up front who clapped enthusiastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, this was normal for Weibo Night; it wasn’t a formal gala or concert, so fan interaction was naturally limited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two hosts on stage—one male, from CCTV; the other female, a veteran of many Weibo Nights—both had ample experience and maintained radiant smiles despite the awkward atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some light small talk, the female host addressed the celebrities: “This year, Weibo Night differs from previous editions. In addition to signing the guestbook, the organizers have added a new segment: a group photo of all the celebrities.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please, all celebrity guests, come up to the center of the stage—our cameramen will capture this thrilling moment with their cameras!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1136,"2026-06-20T22:54:01.657Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a82d54772bee798bf2c633bdd545211f6d08d43065d24a2e4e7f01c0414a6a52","becoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-chapter-68","becoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-chapter-66",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbecoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-cover.jpg"]
