The cannon fodder female supporting role in the misplaced life

The finals officially began amidst the tense and anticipation of the crowd! Today's finals were filled with numerous challenges. Not only did the contestants have to complete their designs within just two hours, but they also had to race non-stop to collect the necessary fabrics and create their meticulously conceived creations. Such a tight schedule was a tremendous test for every contestant.

Xu Yingying and Yu Lili were fully aware of the urgency of the time, so they rushed to the clothing materials area without hesitation. After all, if a well-designed piece lacks the necessary high-quality fabrics to complement it, even the most brilliant concept can ultimately fall short. The other designers, clearly aware of this crucial point, rushed to the materials area like arrows from a bow, creating a bustling atmosphere.

The theme of this final—"Heart"—may seem broad and open at first glance, but it actually holds hidden meanings, making it a challenge to grasp and perfectly interpret. However, while many designers were struggling to figure out how to approach it, Xu Yingying had a flash of inspiration, instantly capturing the spark of creativity. She quickly picked up her brush and began sketching on paper with a fluid, flowing flow. However, aware of her limited artistic skills, Xu Yingying consciously opted for a simple and crisp design style, striving to use minimal lines and shapes to express her unique understanding and appreciation of the theme of "heart."

Surprisingly, she was the first to complete the line drawing! She quickly spread out the fabric before her, then carefully and intently began cutting. Each cut was precise and meticulous, as if she were holding not just ordinary scissors and fabric, but a precious work of art.

At the same time, little Lin Xinyi, who was sitting in the audience, stared at her mother who was busy on the stage, her little hands clenched into fists, and she kept repeating in her heart: "Come on, Mom, you must win!" Her little face was full of a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.

At this point, the host and judges, cameras in hand, slowly approached the contestants, allowing them to observe and record their impressive performances more closely. As they walked, they occasionally offered brief, pointed comments on the contestants' technique. This close scrutiny instantly created an intense and thrilling atmosphere. Contestants with less mental fortitude were more likely to make minor mistakes under such pressure.

It's like that feeling we get when we're taking an important exam and the invigilator suddenly appears behind us, staring at us as we answer, and occasionally making a subtle smacking sound. It's truly unsettling, and my heart races. Even someone who's been confident would find it hard to remain completely calm in this moment.

On the other hand, although Xu Yingying took first place in the line drawing competition, she was clearly inferior to the other more experienced contestants in the actual hands-on process. Despite this, after a strenuous effort, she managed to finish her work within the allotted time. As she finished the last stitch, Xu Yingying breathed a sigh of relief—luckily, she hadn't exceeded the time limit, otherwise the consequences would have been disastrous!

The first designer to complete their work confidently took center stage. As the curtain slowly rose, everyone's attention was focused on the meticulously crafted piece. However, Master Chenxi remained expressionless. After a moment's silence, he said, "While your design is complete, it lacks soul. You simply imitate the styles and creativity of others, without truly incorporating your own unique vision."

Upon hearing this comment, the contestant's expression instantly stiffened. His lips trembled slightly as he whispered, "Thank you, teacher," and quietly stepped aside. The atmosphere in the room froze, and everyone could sense the contestant's inner disappointment and frustration.

Yu Lili, on the other hand, took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves. Finally, it was her turn to present her creations. She gracefully arrived in a gorgeous Chinese-style gown. The bodice featured a classic double-buttoned, retro cheongsam design. The delicate buttons shone like stars in the night sky, radiating a captivating glow. The lower part was a flowing, soft, one-line skirt, its hem dancing in the breeze, evoking the air of a fairy descending to earth. This ingenious combination perfectly showcased the classical beauty of an oriental woman.

However, after examining Yu Lili's work, Master Chenxi frowned slightly and said, "From the previous rounds of competition, you seem to have a strong preference for retro-style designs, and each time you present, you incorporate similar elements. While this can ensure a certain degree of stability in your work, if you remain confined to your comfort zone and are unwilling to explore new breakthroughs and innovations, then it will be difficult for your design skills to make any substantial progress."

Yu Lili nodded secretly at Master Chenxi's sharp comments. In fact, she was also clearly aware of this problem, but she had always lacked the courage and determination to change.

Finally, it was Sally's turn to receive Master Chenxi's critique. Unlike before, Master Chenxi's attitude towards Sally was anything but gentle. Sally had clearly put a great deal of thought and effort into preparing her piece, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get any information about the finals out of Master Chenxi.

Faced with such a dilemma, Sally felt helpless. Her inner anxiety gradually made her lose her mind, and eventually she took an extreme path.

Master Chenxi said in an icy voice, "Do you feel very proud of the current situation?" Hearing this, Sally was startled and a look of panic appeared on her face, but she quickly forced herself to smile and replied, "Teacher, what do you mean by this? I don't quite understand."

Master Chenxi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a mocking smile, and then he revealed mercilessly:
