Chapter 209 - Wanted to Cry But There Were No Tears

Chapter 209 Wanted to Cry But There Were No Tears

When she cut through the cloth, Tang Xia was completely flabbergasted. Other than the part that she cut, the other parts of the cloth also got torn apart slowly, forming a leaf-like shape.

Obviously, Chu Tianjiao had given her a piece of cloth that was pre-processed.

As Tang Xia held onto this piece of rag-like cloth, which had very few parts that could still be used, she wanted to cry. However, no tears were coming out. Was Chu Tianjiao playing with her?

At the same time, the fans in Tang Xia’s broadcast room started to flood the screen with comments.

“What the… Tang Xia does not have enough fabric!

“Is Chu Tianjiao playing a trick on her intentionally?”

“How could she possibly make a gown out of this?”

“Exactly! I think that this bit of cloth might not even be enough to cover her ass.”

“Li Xianxian must have also received the same mission. I wonder how the fabric she got is.”

“I just came over from Li Xianxian’s side. She got a piece of gauze that’s not much better than Tang Xia’s cloth.”

“Tsk, tsk… Seems like Chu Tianjiao is deliberately testing them.”

“Now, it all depends on who can make good use of their materials and stand out in the fashion show tomorrow.”

“Now that you said it, I’m quite excited.”

“Yeah, I wonder who will win!”

“…”

Because of Chu Tianjiao’s weird idea, the two popular female live-streamers in the Time-Travel Broadcast Room were going to have a costume battle. Thanks to this dramatic arrangement, the fans in the broadcast room were all hyped up. They were looking forward to the fashion show tomorrow.

This information was also quickly pushed to the most eye-catching position on the front page of the Time-Travel Broadcast Room’s comment section and forum.

Breaking News! Tang Xia VS Li Xianxian, Garden of Eden Fashion Show! Who Will Shine?

In just a short period of time, the comment section was filled by enthusiastic fans. That night, this topic did not leave the hot discussion section.

Because of this hyped-up atmosphere, the broadcast room was also experiencing a sky-rocketing data flow. The number of viewers kept increasing. The fashion show finally opened its curtains amid the fans’ anticipation.

No matter how bad a cloth they had gotten, they had to attend the show. Tang Xia held onto the cloth and studied it for a long time. Eventually, she decided that, since she could not change it, she might as well make use of it and treat it as a unique feature of her design.

As she thought about it, Tang Xia did not just try to fix it. She even picked up the scissors and cut the strip of cloth into tinier, even pieces. It now looked even more artistic.

When it was finally showtime, Tang Xia tied one of the pieces around her chest and one around her waist. As for the dangling parts, she either tied them into knots or just let them hang loosely. Although it looked messy, her design stood out from the rest.

Then, Tang Xia looked into the mirror and created a suitable detailed look. She had a good foundation, so she usually would either wear no makeup or put on some light makeup that made her look very pure and lovely.

However, this time around, Tang Xia did something different. She put on relatively elegant makeup and styled her hair into big waves. This caused her to look sexier and way more charming.

Once everything was done, Tang Xia twirled in front of the mirror and turned into a passionate gypsy girl. As a result, although her outfit was slightly worse than a normal gown, it would still pass.

Tang Xia thought that it was about time and headed off to the small auditorium.

When she arrived at the auditorium, she realized how naive she had been.

Other than her, everyone else was wearing an elaborately-tailored gown. Not only were the designs elegant, but they were also unique. This made Tang Xia doubt whether she was in the Garden of Eden or at an international big brand’s fashion show.

Compared to the others, she was like a crane amid a flock of chickens. Or rather, like a chicken in a flock of cranes.

Tang Xia looked at the others and then looked at herself. She really wanted to find a hole to bury herself into. She confirmed once again that Chu Tianjiao was definitely messing around with her.

The gowns that the others were wearing could definitely not have been produced by using the material that she had received.

Tang Xia walked over to a small corner silently and caned Chu Tianjiao 180 times in her heart.

“Tang Xia?” A confused voice was heard. Tang Xia snapped out of her thoughts and saw that La Chapelle had been standing beside her for an unknown period of time. She was appraising her with a shocked expression.

La Chapelle was wearing a white off-shoulder, high-knot gown. Her hair was tucked behind her head, while two strands of wavy hair hang by both sides. She looked elegant and sexy.

Tang Xia, who was startled at first, greeted her.

Tang Xia’s appearance was very different than usual. Thus, it was only then that La Chapelle was sure that the person standing in front of her was Tang Xia. She even said in a shocked voice, “It’s really you! Why are you dressed like this?”

La Chapelle could not help but take two more glances at Tang Xia as she spoke. When she saw that Tang Xia had only tied two pieces of cloth casually around her body, she could not help but frown.

Compared to the other contestants’ detailed preparation, Tang Xia’s outfit left one speechless.

Tang Xia heard her question and smiled helplessly. Her smile was filled with bitterness and sorrow. “It’s not that I want to wear this, but Chu Tianjiao only gave me this much fabric!”

After hearing Tang Xia’s explanation, La Chapelle realized that Tang Xia had received a different fabric than them. This showed clearly that Chu Tianjiao was deliberately making things difficult for her. While thinking about this, there was a hint of pity in La Chapelle’s eyes, which were looking at Tang Xia.

“You must have had a hard time. You’ve already done a great job using this limited fabric to create such a design…”

La Chapelle patted Tang Xia’s shoulder and comforted her. From the corner of her eyes, she saw Li Xianxian entering the auditorium. La Chapelle suddenly made a loud sound and almost choked on her own saliva.

“Am I seeing things? Is that Li Xianxian?” La Chapelle pointed towards a figure that had just stepped through the auditorium’s door. Her eyes were open wide in shock.

Li Xianxian was basically not wearing anything at all. Just like Tang Xia during the last game, she was only wearing a tube top and a pair of safety pants.

The only difference was that her figure was obviously not as nice as Tang Xia’s. Wearing such clothes only cost her coverage and exposed the defective parts of her body even more.

Her ultimate failure was the piece of light-green thin gauze she had tied around her neck. Not only did it make her proportions look even weirder, but it also added a nondescript vibe to her look.

If Tang Xia was a chicken in a flock of cranes, Li Xianxian was a pheasant in a flock of cranes.

Tang Xia followed La Chapelle’s gaze and looked over. She could not help snorting. She thought that she was already bad enough compared to everyone else. However, she had not expected that Li Xianxian would create such a high-level outfit.

This was a whole new level of low. Tang Xia’s worries were instantly healed by Li Xianxian.

La Chapelle retracted her graze, her eyes still filled with disbelief. “I take back my words. Compared to Li Xianxian, your outfit is very nice.”

Everything had to be compared in order to determine which one was better and which one was worse. Compared to Li Xianxian’s outfit, La Chapelle realized that it was really incredible that Tang Xia had managed to find her own style by using a rag.

When Li Xianxian heard Tang Xia’s laughter, her face fell. She obviously did not want to wear this, yet Chu Tianjiao had only given her a piece of gauze. She’d had no other choice.

Li Xianxian had spent half a day figuring this out in her room without reaching a conclusion. Upon seeing that time was almost up, she had only casually tied it around her neck and left the room.

When she saw the well-designed gowns that everyone else was wearing and their attractive makeup, Li Xianxian turned blue. One could not tell if this was because of her light green gauze or because she felt depressed.

By this point in time, almost everyone was here. Tang Xia scanned the crowd of girls in the auditorium and realized that only she and Li Xianxian were not wearing a gown.

It seemed like Chu Tianjiao had given them a special test. However, Tang Xia had received a cloth, while Li Xianxian had been given some gauze.

“Seems like only the two of you have been specially taken care of,” La Chapelle said as she realized this. From the looks of it, Tang Xia had made use of her material better than Li Xianxian.

Tang Xia glanced at Li Xianxian and nodded. Then, she said with a hint of emotion in her voice, “Actually, her gauze is easier to style than my cloth.”

Gauze was a very malleable element in many top-notch fashion shows. It could expand into various directions in terms of design.

On the other hand, the fabric that Tang Xia had received had been torn into pieces right from the start. Compared to the gauze that Li Xianxian had received, she had faced more limitations in terms of styling.

The reason Li Xianxian had failed so terribly at styling was that she did not understand the strengths and limitations of her own body. She also had not managed to integrate the uniqueness of the gauze into her own uniqueness, which was why it looked like it did not belong on her.

While Tang Xia and La Chapelle were studying Li Xianxian, Li Xianxian also scanned Tang Xia from head to toe. Jealousy flooded her when she saw how Tang Xia had used a piece of cloth to express her own style.

On top of that, she also heard the two of them talking into each other’s ears every now and then. They seemed to be bad-mouthing her. The smile on Tang Xia’s face made it look like she was scoffing at her.

Li Xianxian, who could not hold back her anger anymore, walked up to them and asked, “What’s so funny?”

It had been fine while she had not talked. However, when she did, the scarf around her neck made her style look extra ridiculous. Tang Xia, who was unable to hold back, let out two peals of laughter.

La Chapelle was even more merciless. She looked at Li Xianxian’s angry face in disdain and sneered in a cold tone, “I don’t want to pick on you, but if you don’t have a nice figure, you shouldn’t wear exposing clothes.”

“Otherwise, a good game will be messed up. You will only make a joke out of yourself.”

As La Chapelle spoke, her gaze seemed to twirl around Tang Xia and Li Xianxian’s bodies. She was obviously teasing Li Xianxian for copying Tang Xia and only wearing a tube top and safety pants, even though her figure was not as nice as Tang Xia’s.

Li Xianxian’s face kept changing from red to white and back again after hearing her words. Her mood was uncertain, which was very exciting.
