In the following days, all classmates, including the recently transferred Zoe, noticed the strained atmosphere between Kenneth and Sandra. Previously inseparable, Kenneth had subtly distanced himself from Sandra. No one knew the reason for the rift, but Kenneth only attributed it to his studies when questioned, revealing nothing further.

Meanwhile, Ged, the class's former "tyrant," had been unusually distracted, exhibiting classic signs of infatuation. Someone jokingly taunted him, "You're getting a taste of your own medicine! If you miss that model so much, ask her out—and send us a picture!"

Ged, looking dejected, replied, "Leave me alone. Why would I show you a picture? What's the benefit to me?" He'd planned a meeting, but the advertising agency rejected his request, citing undisclosed reasons. His meal offer was irrelevant; his budding crush was swiftly extinguished.

This exchange occurred between classes, overheard by Tiffany. Minutes later, she received a call from Caleb. She was prepared for whatever he requested. A new advertisement appeared, this time for shoes. The model only needed to show her legs and feet in various heels. Caleb sought to avoid another spotlight on Tiffany, but he intended to capitalize on the success of her previous ad. The company was rising, and future ads wouldn't require Tiffany. She readily agreed.

On Saturday, Tiffany filmed for three hours, modeling at least a hundred pairs of shoes. The shoot was successful; her legs were deemed pale, smooth, slender, and strong, her feet and toes, small and beautiful. Netizens responded overwhelmingly positively:

• "F**k, I have a leg fetish. I can do this! I actually can!"
• "Her feet look good in the shoes. Look at her sleek, long legs and radiant feet. Her feet are her golden features. I can't handle it…"
• "This brand has nice shoes. I've bought them before. I want to buy a few more pairs again!"

However, this ad campaign received less positive feedback than the vintage clothing ad, which showcased the model's full body. Ged obtained the video, boasting to the class, "Look at this! Shooting this beautiful model's legs must have been fun! Oh wow, they're so attractive!"

He attempted to project sophistication, but the girls scoffed, noting his previous lack of appreciation for other attractive females. One girl commented, "There are plenty of beautiful girls at school, yet you've never praised anyone. You're obsessed with someone who doesn't even know you exist! What a disappointment that will be!"

Coincidentally, a girl viewed the model's live stream, which was linked to the advertisers' accounts. The model's unfiltered appearance—lacking makeup and filters—was drastically different from the ad. The girls reacted with laughter and disbelief. One girl showed the live stream to Ged, mocking him mercilessly.

The boys reacted with laughter, comparing the model's appearance unfavorably to their school cafeteria cook. Ged defensively insisted it couldn't be the same person. The girls countered that advertisements are heavily edited.

Zoe, seated beside Tiffany, also recognized the discrepancy. Tiffany, though unbothered by others' opinions, disliked the impersonation. She took the phone, memorized the impersonator's account name, and called Caleb. This impersonation threatened her reputation and future work.

Caleb quickly contacted the platform, resulting in the live stream's removal. Ged, misinterpreting the situation, took credit for the action. The girls remained speechless.

Upon returning to her seat, Zoe inquired if Tiffany was the model in question. Tiffany nodded. Ged, having seen the platform's response, no longer challenged Tiffany. Tiffany, after noting the impersonator's account name, left the classroom and contacted Caleb.
