Transmigration of the Famous Cyberstar (1)

Chapter 29: Mutually Follow Each Other On Weibo

Most of the comments of the Tik Tok video complimented how much Liu Man looked like an Ancient Chinese person. There was one comment with forty-thousand likes and was stickied to the top. It wrote:

"Why did the girl attract so many people just by showing her face for a moment, when there hadn't even been any talking or particular talent? Except for the fact that she looked quite pretty, in my opinion, there were several reasons, if you focus on the details. First of all, please examine her hair and how she tied it. It's the most standard way of how people during the Han Dynasty had tied their hair. It looks easy to do, yet it requires skill. Now, in the modern age, only a limited amount of people knows how to tie it, and if you look at Coco's hairstyle, that's the style normal hairdressers do.

Second of all, look at her posture. At the start, she sat on her knees. That's because chairs only started to appear more often in the Song Dynasty. Before that, people sat on the ground. In the Book of Rites, it required people to 'sit like a corpse'. Meaning that people should move as little as possible when sitting, they should seem sincere while face forward. When Coco was singing, this girl had managed to stay put and straighten her back. If she wasn't a professional dancer, then how could she have sat on her knees and restrained from the movement for five whole minutes? I think that she definitely had some background in dancing.

Next, she stood up and walked towards Coco. Did anyone notice that when they looked like they were standing in a line, the girl was actually half a step behind Coco? This was Coco's performance, Coco was the lead, and she was just acting as a background. This was because she knew that she shouldn't take the spotlight from Coco and take the lead. That kind of virtue is rare these days. I'm guessing that this girl's manners were very well taught, and at the very least, comes from a scholarly family."

Yu Zhan read the paragraphs meticulously. As he read those comments which had complimented Liu Man, even he felt that Liu Man wasn't just a normal person. Even if he had been there at the performance; he had never paid any attention to these details. Maybe it was because he was a straight man who didn't know anything about females and because he had never cared much about how women put on their makeup or tied up their hair. Even so, he could feel the temperament and aura of different types of people. This was also part of the reason why Liu Man attracted him so much.

Lu Lingling sat down next to Liu Man, "Sis, are you a Hanfu person?"

"Kind of."

Liu Man knew she couldn't be a person living in the Han Dynasty anymore, but it was still okay to be a Hanfu person.

"Can you teach me how to tie my hair like an Ancient Chinese? I'm quite clumsy."

"Of course. At your age, you can try learning the basic double bun. When you reach our marriageable age, I will start teaching you some more complex ways."

"Wow, that sounds so cool," Lu Lingling felt as if this girl watched too much Ancient Chinese TV shows. She even talked in an Ancient Chinese way, "How old is the marriageable age?"

"That would be fifteen for us."

"Then, I would still have to wait for one year..."

At this moment, a woman walked out of the kitchen with a huge bowl of noodles. She placed the noodles on their table, then turned around to scold Lu Lingling, "Go away, don't disturb the customers."

Lu Lingling stuck out her tongue and followed her mother back into the kitchen.

Liu Man studied the huge bowl of noodles in front of her. There really were a lot of noodles, mixed with at least ten pieces of beef, and there were lots of coriander and chopped onions floating on the surface of the soup. The noodles sent forth steam that smelled delicious and made her automatically have a good appetite. However, nobody would be able to finish it all.
