He Qisi said, “We will be there to support you.”

The popularity of “Shi-Senpai” made Sun Weiwei decide to keep on writing the scripts for this series until they made money. It meant Liu Man had to keep on cooperating with them.

She was doing voluntary work and never asked them for a single penny. At every meeting, Liu Man was always punctual and didn’t act like a cyber star at all.

Of course, they felt very thankful. If Liu Man hadn’t been there, “Shi-Senpai” would never be so popular on Tik Tok.

Sun Weiwei adjusted the position of her glasses and said sincerely, “Although the law major has lots of classes on both Thursday and Friday, I will still take a break and come to support you.”

After being in contact with her for this period, Sun Weiwei was clear that now Liu Man had a completely different personality than the past Liu Man. It was as if she was now a different person. Sun Weiwei even wondered whether two spirits were living in Liu Man’s body.

Although it sounded a bit scary, Sun Weiwei wasn’t afraid at all. Intimidation never worked on her. She was satisfied with Liu Man’s current personality, and if Liu Man could keep her personality like this forever, Sun Weiwei believed they could still become friends one day.

Zhang Jiaojiao said, “Us Chinese majors have lots of time, and it’s easy for us to skip classes. If you need to put on some make-up that day, do tell me, and I’ll come early to help you.”

“Yeah, yeah. Let Jiaojiao apply your make-up. She is a much better make-up artist than you. The make-up you applied back in high school made you look like a tasteless jerk.”

Liu Man: “…”

She felt helpless. Although Sun Weiwei had good intentions, her words were not very nice.

Wang Sheng said, “I will be there to film and take pictures of you since it’s all I’m good at doing.”

Chen Han thought about it for a second, “There doesn’t seem to be anything else I can do. Maybe Fang Hao and I will each raise a sign that reads: “Hanfu Goddess, I LOVE U?”

Fang Hao facepalmed. It sounded so stupid, and he refused to comply!

Sun Weiwei and Zhang Jiaojiao bursted into laughters.

Liu Man was also trying hard not to laugh, but she felt very touched inside.

Being in school society was much easier than being in the cast. Nobody was entangled much on benefits and harms. Helping a friend was normal, and nobody thought about getting anything in return.

“Thank you guys,” Liu Man told the six people around her.

“Don’t thank us. It should be us thanking you,” He Qisi said, “We are still hoping to continue to cooperate with you on ‘Shi-Senpai.’ Since we are going to be co-workers for a long time, helping you would be equivalent to helping ourselves.”

After making promises that they will come to support her, everyone hurriedly started filming the tenth episode of “Shi-Senpai.” The scenes in the video were as funny as the last few episodes. It was expected that there would be, once again, lots of positive comments on Tik Tok.

On Saturday night, Liu Man returned home and quickly started live-streaming.

“Sis, you aren’t streaming regularly this week. You didn’t come online for a few days, and you start your streams on random times now.”

Liu Man apologized, “I have been preparing for an important performance for the past two weeks. Sometimes, I would have to practice my pieces during the evenings, and I didn’t live-stream. There was no way for me to stream because I didn’t have time.”

“Princess, are you talking about that ensemble concert from the Capital Musical University, which is so popular over the internet right now?”

Liu Man said, “You’re right, I am talking about that concert. Everyone in my major is required to participate.”

“Wow, it sounds so cool.”

“I want to see Princess play the piano with my own eyes. (Heart-eyes)”

“It’s unfortunate that I’m not in the capital right now, or else I would be there to support you, sis.”

“Princess, what piece are you performing?”

Liu Man replied: “That “Butterfly Lovers” I played for you last time.”

“Ahhhhhh, it sounded so good. Why did I forget to record it last time?”

“Hehehe, I recorded it. I’m so smart.”

“Isn’t it an ensemble concert? You’re probably not the only one playing, right?”

Liu Man had an answer to all of these questions.

“I’m performing with a roommate and another friend from the Guzheng major.”

“Is the roommate you’re talking about that sis with long legs?” — Otaku Boy

Liu Man laughed, “Yes, I’m talking about her.”

“That’s awesome! I want to watch your performance, too! I will skip all classes and delay all experiments. Even if it starts raining knives, I would still be there. Nobody can stop me.” — Otaku Boy

“She will be happy to hear that you’re coming too.”

None of the other fans knew what the live-streamer and this admin of hers were talking about.

Jiang Chengfeng, on the other side of the screen, was very excited. He couldn’t wait to see Li Xiaoru and Liu Man’s performance.

Roommate B said, “Hey, hey. Calm down. Do you realize there is still a week before the performance?”

Roommate C asked Roommate A, “Should we go too?”

Roommate A said, “Yes, of course, we are going too. There will be pretty girls there.”

Last time, Jiang Chengfeng, as a single dog, shared a picture of him with Li Xiaoru and Liu Man in his WeChat moments. He was having coffee with the two pretty ladies. He received an interrogation from his three roommates that night.

TL’s Note: The phrase “single dog” was in one of the s, and I’ll explain it again. It’s a common, trendy phrase referring to someone single, of course. It corresponds to the phrase, “dog food.” When a couple shows their affection for each other in public, they are feeding dog food to the “single dogs.”

Under the stare of three pairs of horrific eyes, he confessed everything. He pointed at the prettiest girl in the photo,

“She’s the Hanfu Goddess.”

“Duh, we all know.”

“She’s also Princess Man.”

There was only dead silence…

The three roommates exchanged glances. After a long while, Roommate B finally found his words, “This pretty girl’s amazing… Jiang Chengfeng, you’re also amazing.”

When Princess Man had just started live-streaming, they knew nothing about her. Jiang Chengfeng could tell that she was one of the prettiest ones in the world only from seeing her chin and her silhouette. He was quite astute.

Jiang Chengfeng pointed at the other girl in the photo, “She’s Princess Man’s roommate.”

As he said this, his face was a bit red.

Roommate A, B, and C were smart and instantly understood this boy had a crush on Princess Man’s roommate.

From that day on, they never missed any one of Princess Man’s streams. Every day, they would wait in front of the phone with Jiang Chengfeng obsessively, hoping for Princess Man to come online.

The live-stream continued,

“Which means our live-streamer’s piece is a trio. It is also in a Chinese and western style.”

“A piece combining both the Chinese and western style is good. I’ve listened to a lute and a violin playing together, and it was astonishing.”

“‘Butterfly Lovers’ is such a classic piece. I have heard of a piano version, violin version, a Guzheng version, and even an erhu version. However, I have never heard of the piano and Guzheng combined version. I look forward to it.”

“I’ve decided. I want to go watch the performance, too.” — Peach is a fairy

Within the next second, Peach sent a message to Liu Man on WeChat, “Man, make sure to send me the time and the address of your performance. I will be there to support you.”

Liu Man replied, “Okay.”

“I wish I am in the capital city right now. I can only wish to sis a successful performance from far away.” — I’m Tingting

“Me, too. I wish you a successful performance.” — Dragon’s Roar

I’m Tingting gifted you 2 Fairytale Carriages.

Dragon’s Roar gifted you 2 Fairytale Carriages.

The two other admins in Princess Man’s stream could not be there, so they gifted her presents beforehand.

A dozen of her old fans also gifted her presents.

To thank everyone for their support, Liu Man sat down in front of her piano and started playing “Butterfly Lovers” again. Daylight lay down on the top of the piano, and Moonlight went up to the front of the cage. Both cats have learned to enjoy her playing with the fans because she played so much.
