Paired with silver heels and a confident posture, she looked like she belonged on that stage.
Her hair was styled in soft, voluminous waves, framing her face perfectly, and the subtle shimmer of her makeup highlighted her sharp features.

"Of course we did!" Wen Liling beamed. "How could we not? Look at you! You look stunning!"
Fu Xifeng clutched her chest. "You look so pretty Xiao Xiu!"
Jiang Xiu chuckled softly but then hesitated. "I— I think I might throw up."
Jiang Yue, ever composed, raised a brow. "That's normal. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Kang Jinhai gave a thumbs-up. "Or just go for it. People will never forget you."
