The forr smiled lightly, bowed, and walked to her designated position.
"Ninth place, Zhang Zijing."
"Tenth place, Gao Ziyi."
"Eleventh place, Fu Xiaoyu."
Upon hearing she was in eleventh place, Fu Xiaoyu finally released her tightly held breath.
For the first ti, she felt that perhaps she truly had a chance to debut.
"Congratulations to all of you. This position was hard-earned, so I hope you’ll cherish it."
"Please share your thoughts."
Long Zitao followed protocol and addressed the top eleven contestants.
"I want to thank my founders outside who supported the most. I will keep working hard to maintain this position," said ng iqi in a short speech.
"Thank you for voting into this position. It makes believe that sweat and effort are stronger than tears. My hard work has been recognized, and I will not let you down," she said.
If Lv Fangxin had stood in her place, these words might have resonated more with the girls. But now, her speech sparked subtle feelings of disgust among the group.
Everyone knew that one of the main reasons she garnered attention was her public criticism of Ye Yuwei, which was essentially a form of parasitism.
This behavior was truly repulsive. Talking about sweat and effort—wasn’t she just taking advantage of others?
If Lv Fangxin achieved a high rank, people might still have a gradual ntal acceptance process. But as for Wang Na, there was none of that, and the disgust toward her was palpable.
Ye Yuwei kept a faint smile on her lips. She felt that this ti Wang Na had gone too far.
Chen Yinghan wore an icy expression, her anger brewing inside.
"Wang Na, do you really think having the show’s protection ans no one can touch you?"
A gleam of coldness flickered deep within Chen Yinghan’s eyes.
"Throughout this show, I’ve cried, laughed, but my goal remains unchanged—to secure the highest center position. Founders, please support ," Wu Zixuan said, seeming like a transford person.
Ye Yuwei realized this was Wu Zixuan declaring war, signaling her fans about her ambitions.
"I know you have already given your all. I won’t ask any more of you. You’ve done everything you can—thank you," Ye Yuwei said simply.
Her words were concise as well; she knew there was no need for grandiose declarations anymore. Knowing when to stop is the wisdom of the wise.
The speeches of the contestants that followed were rather bland.
Then Lv Fangxin picked up the microphone, her eyes rimd with red, though no tears fell.
Everyone was watching her, wondering how she would fight back against the odds.
But no one believed she could turn the tide.
"I truly didn’t expect that I’ve been in Class A three tis already."
Lv Fangxin’s words carried a sense of lancholy and nostalgia.
"But I feel like I’ve never truly belonged to Class A."
"The other girls made it with singing, dancing, their various talents, and personal charm."
"As for , maybe it’s just a hint of silliness or a touch of humor that got to this position."
At this mont, Lv Fangxin spoke with raw honesty. She was no longer an idol but a frightened, insecure, and overwheld young girl.
The surrounding staff were sowhat moved by her words, and Long Zitao couldn’t help but reveal a warm smile.
Many of the girls were visibly touched, their eyes reddened with emotion. Chen Yinghan even shed tears.
Yang Xiaoyue was astonished, not expecting Lv Fangxin to possess this level of empathy and ability to articulate her emotions.
"I’ve faced a lot of doubt. I don’t know if anyone can stand in my position and understand my fear. Yet, I must continue to stand here."
Lv Fangxin’s trembling voice carried the weight of her emotions, instinctively evoking heartbreak in those who heard her.
"Because this position is supported by others, and I cannot let them down."
"Even in fear, I must keep standing.
"However, I want to say—you’re all truly outstanding."
Lv Fangxin gazed at the girls who hadn’t been announced yet.
Her glistening eyes carried kindness, longing, and genuine emotions.
The girls understood her feelings at that mont, and they instinctively began cheering and applauding her.
"For those of you not in this position, I think you may feel regret in your hearts."
"But many fortunate things in this world will be evenly distributed to everyone."
"You might not be lucky this ti, but next ti you’ll undoubtedly be luckier."
"If you were lucky this ti, you might still have to pay the price for it later."
"Right now, I’m bearing the cost of the heights I’ve reached."
Lv Fangxin’s words struck a deep chord with everyone, including the program’s staff onboard the ship. They hadn’t expected such philosophical insights from her.
Yang Xiaoyue realized this speech would be the highlight of the entire program.
Lv Fangxin was bound to gain a storm of new fans.
"Xiaoyue, she’s exceeded her speech ti by 2 minutes. We’re live," Sun Miao reminded her friend.
If the girls heard this, they would surely be surprised—no one had expected the final announcent of the top 22 rankings to be aired live.
They had assud the program would be edited, making them less restrictive with their emotions.
But this ti, the production team intentionally wanted to showcase their raw and authentic feelings to the audience.
"It’s alright, let her finish," Yang Xiaoyue felt this live broadcast, which she hadn’t held high hopes for, was going to explode.
"God doesn’t necessarily favor the smart ones."
"Even one in ten thousand might bestow grace upon us simple kids."
"So don’t abandon your ordinary or foolish self. There’s a chance the heavens might like you."
"It’s the heavens that make many people like you. You deserve to be loved."
Lv Fangxin concluded her speech and bowed to everyone.
This ti, there were no exaggerated cheers, but the expressions on many faces carried a sense of understanding—they had been deeply moved by her speech.
On screens, many of the thousands and thousands of viewers watching this program were also moved to tears, listening as they cried.
Li Ke was crying the hardest of all, crouching under a big tree outside the park with his phone in hand, sobbing uncontrollably.
Lv Fangxin’s words had truly struck a chord with him.
