Tonight, countless of Ji Lin"s fangirls kept a close watch at the Fashion"s official blog, they kept refreshing the page over and over. Waiting anxiously for any announcement about the release of the newest magazine.
《Fashion Icon》, it was the top fashion magazine in China. As early as a few months ago, it was said that they invited Ji Lin to work together with them. When the fans heard the news, they were very excited. After all, this person named Ji Lin was somewhat like "Buddha". Although he was very popular, however, except for necessary jobs, he would seldomly partic.i.p.ate in variety shows or commercial activities. As he said, wouldn"t it be nice to play some games during that time? Why on earth would I have to torture myself?
Most of the fans had been following Ji Lin"s journey in the climb for fame step by step ever since he was fifteen years old. It immediately caused the female fans who were eyeing this pup to eagerly have mixed feelings of love and hate towards his "chill about everything" mannerism. In the end, they could only helplessly agree with what he wanted to do: Fine… Fine! As long as you"re happy. Who told you to be so cute?
Now, it wasn"t easy to wait for the important news of Ji"s collaboration. The fans were immediately boiling with excitement —— "Buy! Buy! Buy! This period"s 《Fashion Icon》is contracted by our Ji!"
Because of Ji Lin"s status alongside Fashion that had always concealed it and acted mysteriously. The fans all believed that Ji Lin"s photo would definitely be on the cover page. And so, with these thoughts early in the morning, they closely watched their Weibo account while waiting for the photos to be published. This was so they could hurriedly collect them and lick his handsome face. (Editor Woof"s Note: Wut?) (Riel: Yes, they are that crazy 0.O)
As it turns out, at 8 p.m. Feng Shang had indeed punctually posted an announcement. However, after a single glance, the fans were left dumbfounded.
【Fashion V】：Qiang-Qiang-Qiang¹~ The new 《Fashion Icon》is estimated to be published next week. The theme for the cover page this time is "the day when the rose withers", which shows the gorgeous last moment of a sleeping beauty"s life. Thank you model Xiao-Jiejie @Zhou Siyu Yuyu for your devoted performance! [T/N: I think 周司雨鱼鱼 Zhou Siyu Yuyu is Zhou Siyu"s nickname in the entertainment circle]
Wait a minute… What about the collaboration with Ji Lin? Where was the news about the cover photo? Why did the advance notice just have a lick of mention of his name? The Xiao-Jiejie fans were angry at once. Don"t joke with us! Furthermore, where did this 18-line model, Zhou Siyu Yuyu, come from? We have never even heard about her!
Was the [Fashion]"s brain kicked by a donkey? They actually exchanged Ji Lin with this unknown little model for the cover page"s picture?
The fans sneered as they clicked the promotional picture posted in Weibo with flames of fury. They wanted to see what kind of person had the ability to push down the most liked superstar, Ji Lin! Or perhaps, maybe it was because this woman had a financial backer behind her.
Countless people held the same thoughts when they opened the photo, and then… there was silence.
[Fashion] released three pieces of high-quality pictures in total. In the first picture, Siyu was sitting amongst the flowers with one hand twisting a red rose as she slightly turned towards the camera with a smile on her face. Her complexion was obviously unhealthy and pale. However, It wasn"t that kind of fake sickly look that was created by powdered makeup, rather, she had a very natural and realistic look. The feeling of weakness and powerlessness in dying seemed to break through the boundary of the lens. Her lips were stretched into a smile while the delicate eyebrows were slightly knitted as the eyes were filled with agony;
In the second picture, Siyu was kneeling in front of the camera. Both hands were powerlessly supporting herself from the ground with a withered rose at the side. Blood trailed down from the side of her lip, it dyed red the pure white dress and dropped onto the rose"s petal. People with discerning eyes could all see that her state right now was like an arrow at the end of its flight. Her life was just like a withered rose. However, what made people surprised was the fact that the dying sensation that it emitted was so strong, it almost caused people to forget that this was merely a piece of a picture on the phone. It was even to the extent that it made people have this impulsive desire to stretch out their hand and take good care of this delicate person;
In the third photo, all of the roses in the cl.u.s.ter of flowers had withered. Siyu lay on thick layers of scattered rose petals that had formed a large b.l.o.o.d.y "carpet". The bloodstain on her face and dress was extremely eye-catching. She half-raised her hand to the sky and her fingers were slightly curled as if she wanted to grasp something, but her hands were still empty. Hence, the hope in her black eyes disappeared little by little until it became still and quiet. She seemingly had accepted her own death and smiled at the world one last time. However, this smile wasn"t longer heavy nor hazy, only that, it contained the feeling of relief and freedom, she was like a pure who was leaving the world.
1: It"s a sound effect. Something similar to a drum roll played before someone announces something that the audiences are eagerly waiting for.
