Chapter 11: Word of Mouth Begins to Reverse

Yangpu District in Shanghai is a famous gathering place for old and famous schools.

It is home to 14 universities including Fudan University, Tongji University, and China University of Finance and Economics.

The number of colleges and universities here accounts for one-third of the total number of colleges and universities in Shanghai, making it a rare "central university district" in Shanghai and even in the whole country.

Whenever night falls, the Internet cafes here become bustling with activity.

Every Internet cafe is brightly lit and packed with people.

Business is booming!

At that time, Internet cafes were basically dominated by League of Legends, and it was also its most glorious time.

Because next year's S7 will be held in the Yanjing Bird's Nest in our China.

And then, uh, nothing happened!
The Huaxia team was eliminated in the semi-finals.

Only two Korean teams are left to fight at the top of the Bird's Nest.

I don’t know how many veteran summoners of League of Legends were extremely disappointed from this moment on!

I packed my bags and left Summoner's Rift, bidding farewell to my youth.

……

Next to University Road, there is Wangyu Internet Cafe.

At midnight, the internet cafe was thick with smoke. Ash from the Yuxi cigarette Chen Chao held between his lips fell onto the mechanical keyboard.

At that moment, his Yasuo had just been beaten to death by five enemies under the defensive tower. He was immediately furious and raged at his roommates who were playing games next to him: "You bunch of noobs, can you even read the minimap? Can you even support?"

"Jungler Lee Sin, you're so blind! You're still fighting for the red buff. If you came here, combined with my slick Yasuo, you could easily get a pentakill!"

The game had entered its later stages, and the respawn time was long. Seeing his roommates were too lazy to pay attention to him, Chen Chao, bored to death, picked up his phone and started browsing Douyin, the game he had just downloaded.

This software is full of 15-second short videos with many beautiful young ladies dancing. He likes to watch them when he has nothing to do to kill time.

"Huh?" Chen Chao just swiped past a video, but suddenly swiped back.

"Let's learn to meow together.

Meow meow meow meow together.

Act like a spoiled child in front of you,
Ouch, meow, meow, meow, meow..."

A magical, yet playful and cheerful melody flowed out from the rehearsal room, and a youthful girl came into view.

She wore a pink puff-sleeved short top with a playful pleated skirt. The furry cat ears on her ears made her look lively and cute.

The girl hummed this funny and catchy song to the rhythm of the music, while performing a simple but cute dance.

She tilted her head, blinked her lively eyes gently, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose. The cat meow she made was so soft and sweet that it could touch people's hearts.

Her feet were like those of a nimble cat, tapping the ground alternately, her toes rotating flexibly, and each step was so light as if she was stepping on clouds.

Her hands playfully opened and closed beside her cheeks, imitating a cat's claws, and she scratched the air from time to time. She looked so adorable.

Just as the song reached its climax, a burst of passionate drum beats suddenly sounded without warning.

In an instant, the camera flashed white and the scene changed.

The once sunny rehearsal room was instantly swallowed by darkness. The girl who had just shone like a little sun was now lying quietly in the darkness, her face covered by a tear-stained mask, looking lonely and forlorn.

In the darkness, several lines of large white characters quickly emerged:
"This world,
Some people like your cheerfulness, while others hate your straightforwardness.
Some people appreciate your sincerity, while others question your motives.

But so what? "

With a strong rhythm, the girl stood up suddenly, swung her arms, and smashed the mask on her face.

As debris flew everywhere, another line of text quickly appeared: "I don't want to wear a mask!"

Those flying mask fragments, rendered by AE particle effects, turned into a dreamlike golden avalanche, gorgeous and dazzling.

Shot dissolve transition.

The last line of text appears.

“I just want to be myself!”

The light re-illuminated the screen, revealing the girl bouncing happily in place like an excited kitten, her head bobbing slightly to the rhythm, her ponytail playfully swaying from side to side. The meowing lyrics continued to echo.

Although her dance moves are sometimes not smooth enough, they add a bit of naivety and silliness that makes people love her.

……

When Chen Chao saw this video, he knew it was broken at first glance!

This girl wearing cat ears struck his heart again and again.

He knew he might not be able to get out!
Once, twice, three times...

Chen Chao seemed to be possessed and kept watching this video over and over again.

You have to know that this was in 2016. How simple were Douyin videos back then?

Such stunning transitions, precise timing and magical special effects are simply unheard of.

Not to mention the young lady’s stunning and extraordinary face, which you can never get enough of no matter how many times you look at it.

The song sounded funny at first, but after listening to it a few times, it became inexplicably catchy and very infectious.

He couldn't help but hum.

Matching the young lady’s dance, it’s so cute!
And the few paragraphs in the middle seem to be telling the story of this young lady.

She must have felt wronged!

Sincere people should not be let down!!!

A strong desire to protect surged in Chen Chao's heart.

He really wanted to transform into a brave knight and cross the screen to protect her!!!
The few roommates who were still fighting in the Internet cafe got ready, communicated for a while, and had a decisive battle with the opponent at the big dragon on the top of Bauhinia City, and their entire army was wiped out.

Just as they were blaming each other and shifting the blame, they discovered the culprit.

My son was hanging out at the spring, feeling contented.

Four against five, the blame is not mine!

The four of them glared at Chen Chao and offered friendly greetings to his family.

But I found that this kid had a stupid look on his face. He was concentrating on his mobile phone, completely forgetting himself, and kept making cat meows.

Like an idiot!

Unable to resist curiosity, the brothers gathered around to take a look.

Then we fell into it together.

A few minutes later, the five opponents in the game frantically asked questions to the five people who were AFK in the fountain?

By the way, you can show off your language skills on the public screen.

An hour later, the sound of meow meow meow could be heard from all over the Netfish Internet Cafe.

……

Lin Yue is an ordinary girl working hard in a big city. After a busy day at work, her greatest relaxation is to stay in her rental house and watch variety shows. After watching them, she will comment on various celebrities online.

She has a group of netizens who also love to "eat melons". They set up a group and share gossips about the entertainment industry every day and complain about those celebrities they don't like.

That day, Lin Yue returned home from get off work as usual. As soon as he turned on his phone, he saw that the group was lively again.

It turns out that everyone is complaining about Meng Ziyi again.

This has been one of the hot topics on the Internet recently. This little-known star who has only played a few supporting roles actually dared to contradict the mentor in a variety show.

She is so pretentious that her sisters all dislike her.

Recently, I have to discuss it in the group every day.

In the past, Lin Yue was the main force in criticizing Meng Ziyi.

But today, she was uncharacteristically silent.
