Transmigration of the Famous Cyber Star
chapter-99

The first class for the piano majors was a common one; English Level 4. Everyone attended it.

It was the first day of school after the break, and nobody was in the mood of studying. Some were napping, some were playing with their phones, and some were chatting with each other in a low voice. Nobody was paying attention to the teacher.

The English teacher wasn’t focusing on what she was teaching, either; She was only reading whatever was there on the textbook, for she wanted to leave as soon as her mission was completed. As she read the tedious text, she scanned the classroom out of boredom. Suddenly, she realized that the prettiest student in this class was listening attentively and taking notes.

She had been teaching the piano major English for three semesters, now. This was her fourth and last. She had a deep impression of this student, and she remembered this student, named Liu Man, was from piano major, class 3.

She knew who Liu Man was because, first of all, this girl looked pretty. But the most important reason was Liu Man didn’t pass her English exams for three semesters in a row.

The English exams for instrumental music-related majors in their school were usually conducted at the end of each semester. For the first and second semesters, Liu Man only passed the make-up exam later. In the third semester, Liu Man still failed with 59 points. Liu Man called her, crying pitifully and asking for one more point.

She was soft-hearted and couldn’t stand girls crying, so she gave Liu Man one more point and let her pass.

At this time, Liu Man was paying all her attention to the class and was prominent in sharp comparison with the others. The English teacher felt glad. Liu Man would not flunk the test this semester.

Wang Nina, staring at the studying Liu Man from the corner of her eyes, laughed on the inside. Did Liu Man really think she was famous? She probably only pretended to study because she was afraid her pictures would be posted on the internet if she didn’t study. She was just a small cyber star. Who would even remember her after a few days?

In conclusion, Wang Nina disliked Liu Man more and more for no reason. She thought Liu Man was being pretentious no matter what she did.

Liu Man didn’t care about what others thought of her. When she witnessed how Yu Zhan and Song Junzhe could have conversations in fluent English, she was determined to learn this foreign language.

Modern times were an era of global cooperation. If she couldn’t even speak English, how could she compete with the others? When she was a child, she really loved listening to Madam Xu’s stories about Zhang Qian traveling to the western regions as an ambassador and how he opened up the Silk Road. She was jealous of Zhang Qian, to be able to travel around the world. Liu Man wanted to be just like him, to walk out of China and look around at this future world. She wanted to learn about different cultures.

When the class was over, it was already noon. It was the first day after the break, and students rushed out from the academic building like a swarm of bees. The cafeteria was filled with crowds.

Liu Man would never be able to enter public facilities freely as she could before. No matter where she went, everyone would be looking at her and taking photos. Being a cyber star was hard.

The cafeteria was already very crowded, and it was even more crowded if one stood beside Liu Man. Wang Nina and Li Xiaoru couldn’t go anywhere either. They couldn’t line up, not to mention they couldn’t even enter the ordering area.

Wang Nina suddenly told both Liu Man and Li Xiaoru, “Xu Zihan just asked me if I want to go out for lunch. I won’t be eating with you guys today.”

Author’s Note: In a , it was mentioned Xu Zihan was also a piano major, but she wasn’t in the same class as Liu Man.

As Wang Nina finished her sentence, she didn’t even wait for their responses before she pushed through the crowd and left. There was a hint of impatience on her face.

Li Xiaoru looked very confused, “When did Nana become good friends with Xu Zihan? Didn’t she dislike Xu Zihan before?”

Liu Man noticed and remembered all of Wang Nina’s abnormal actions today.

Liu Man smiled as she told Li Xiaoru, “There are too many people in the cafeteria, so let’s go have lunch somewhere else. I still owe you a feast from last semester. I’ll treat you today.”

“I already forgot about this if you hadn’t mentioned it,” Li Xiaoru was, of course, very happy, hearing that someone was going to treat her to dinner. She linked her arm with Liu Man’s, “Go, go, go. Let’s go have a feast right now! Unfortunately, Nana won’t be able to enjoy it.”

TL’s Note: Nana is a nickname for Wang Nina.

This time, the duo didn’t go to that expensive Ju Jiu Wu. Li Xiaoru chose a Sichuan restaurant.

During the entire meal, Liu Man had been incessantly typing on her phone, and her fingers never rested.

Li Xiaoru asked her, “Are you working on “Princess Man”’s stuff?”

Liu Man nodded. She wasn’t planning to hide it from Li Xiaoru, “I’m selling cat food as a dealer.”

“Mhm, I saw it on Wei Bo. You were in Hong Kong yesterday,” Li Xiaoru chuckled, “Your ‘now, I’m here’ has brainwashed everyone.”

Because Liu Man was “live-streaming” with her pictures yesterday the entire process of her signing the contract with Hong Kong Westland, and she used the caption, ‘now, I’m here’, the fans all mimicked her and were now spamming comments under her Wei Bo,

“Now, I’m here,” The attachment was a photo of a university.

“Now, I’m here,” The attachment was a photo of some landmark of a city.

“Now, I’m here,” The attachment was a photo of a supermarket somewhere.

“Now, I’m here,” The attachment was a photo of a public toilet.

…

This brainwashing phrase infected the entire internet in just one night. Not only the fans of Princess Man were using it, but other internet users were also copying her. When they post something or comment under their favorite idols’ Wei Bo, they all added, “now, I’m here” along with showing where they were.

When all the plates were served, Li Xiaoru took a photo of them and posted it on her Wei Bo, “Now, I’m here. I’m with @Princess Man.”

“Man Man, I pinged you. Follow me on Wei Bo,” Li Xiaoru urged her.

Liu Man logged onto her Wei Bo.

Li Xiaoru’s Wei Bo nickname was also “Hehehaha.” Li Xiaoru usually didn’t use Wei Bo to socialize. She only had Wei Bo to read the news and gossips, and she didn’t have any friends on this platform.

The only person she had followed was Princess Man.

Liu Man followed her back, liked her post, and reposted her photo.

“Who’s this ‘Hehehaha.’”

“I remember! I remember! Sheis Princess’ roommate.” — Otaku Boy

“Oh, then she’s that talented girl who also plays the piano! I’ll follow her.”

“I’m following her, too.”

“Hehehaha” was Li Xiaoru’s alternative account. She originally only had nine inactive fans, and after Liu Man followed her, she had ten. After lunch, when she checked her fan count, she realized she now had 259.

“Wow, I’m benefiting from my association with you,” Li Xiaoru exclaimed, “Your fans are really active and are following me, too.”

Liu Man noticed this, too. Her fans were following everyone who was pertinent to her. It turned out “love for a person extends even to the crows on their roof” was true?

“Seeing this, maybe I will become famous one day because I’m sticking onto your fame.”

At this time, Li Xiaoru was only joking around. How could she ever have thought her dream would come true one day?
