Liu Man looked again at the waitress, then at the customers who were trying to take a look at her through the green plants. She had no choice but to stand up from her chair.

"Miss, follow me please."

"Coco will be preparing with this lucky girl backstage, and it'll take a moment. Everyone, eat and drink as normal, then we can continue to watch their performance," The host said.

Liu Man followed the waitress through the staff passage into the backstage area. She was led into a room where she was given a bag, "Please, change into the clothing in this bag."

Liu Man took the clothing out from the bag. It was a white Hanfu. She felt the texture and knew instantly that it was a "costume" Yu Zhan was talking about, "Here, let me help you with that," The waitress offered.

"It's alright, I can do it by myself."

"This type of clothing would be a bit complicated to put on, since it's divided into different parts," The waitress said with a tone of persistence. She did not believe that Liu Man would be able to put on this kind of Hanfu with such a complex design.

Liu Man, however, laughed, "The real Hanfu would be much more difficult to wear than this, actually. I've worn it tons of times."

The waitress had to back out of the room so that she could change.

After five minutes, Liu Man opened the door and came out with one hand lifting the hem. All the staff members in the corridor turned to stare at her. Some of them were so shocked that their eyes enlarged.

Coco, who came out of a different room, exclaimed, "So pretty."

"Oh my god. You are the best person for Hanfus, nobody else looks better in a Hanfu than you!" She walked around Liu Man to examine her costume, then lifted her head, "You look so glorious even without makeup on. Sis, you can't be a superstar, can you?"

Liu Man couldn't help but laugh, "I'm just a normal person here to have dinner. You're the super star."

Coco pouted, "I'm just this cyber singer who sells my singing for a living. What kind of super star am I?"

To be honest, Coco had already become very famous at the time, just from how the audience members had reacted when she sang her 'The Untrammeled Traveler.' She had already been taken in by an album company and could now publish her own albums in the future, just like professional singers.

Liu Man thought Coco's personality was very cute. Her tone was always a bit self-deprecating. It wasn't strange that she could come up with a song which used lines from Zhuang Zhou's work and inject her own thoughts into it.

The waitress, staring at Liu Man's loosened hair which reached her shoulders, spoke to another staff member, "Didn't I tell you to go get a hair pin? Where's the hair pin?"

The other staff member was in an awkward position, "The hairpins are all gone," Since their theme was ancient customed, every waitress had changed into a Hanfu, and they all had needed a uniformed hair pin.

Liu Man said, "Just give me a clean chopstick, if that's alright."

Restaurants were never out of chopsticks. In less than a minute, a staff member had delivered a wooden chopstick to Liu Man. Under everyone's watch, Liu Man had deftly tied her hair with the chopstick at the back of her head. She looked elegant and demure, no matter which side she was observed from. All the girls watching felt as if their hands were useless compared to hers.

Coco asked the restaurant manager beside her, "Are you sure she's really a customer you guys picked randomly and not an actor you pre-arranged for?"

The restaurant manager had a talent for talking and said humorously, "We restaurant companies have a limited funding for activities. Wouldn't we have to spend an extra-large amount of money if we were to invite such a beautiful actor?"
