"Mou Keyan? Who is this again?"
Mr. Lu mulled over the name for a while, feeling like he had heard it somewhere before.
In his previous life, he had mainly paid attention to Zhong Ruixi, and he only knew of the other campus celebrities at Nanhu University by hearsay, rarely interacting with them face-to-face.
But when the most prestigious leader of the dance club actually appeared in front of him, the onrush of allure still caused Mr. Lu's pupils to dilate slightly.
Hmm... that one was not bad.
This one is really something.
"She's Mou Keyan! The powerhouse who ranks within the top two of the Nanhu Forum's campus beauty leaderboard..."
"Shh, don't shout, I can't talk right now."
The previously noisy freshmen fell silent after Mou Keyan made her appearance, not even a whisper could be heard.
Everyone was focused intently on watching.
Tonight, Mou Keyan was wearing her hair in big wavy curls, sparkly hairpins firmly kept stray strands at bay by her ears, adorned with petite green earrings.
Her upper half was clad in a short, tight T-shirt, revealing her fair midriff and vest line, faintly visible with her breaths.
Below, she wore an A-line skirt common in girl group dances, and underneath that, bold and alluring fishnet stockings that highlighted her curves to perfection.
"Hello, juniors, good evening~"
Mou Keyan smiled and waved at the crowd, confidently taking her place under the spotlight.
The cherry-red gloss on her lips was meticulously applied, a fatal attraction known amongst men as "Straight Men Slayer."
No wonder the cheers on the sports field were several levels louder than before. As a third-year senior and a veteran of dance performances under the limelight, Mou Keyan's level of style and makeup was indescribably stronger than that of the fresh-faced freshmen.
The senior didn't need more than a few seconds to get into character, and as the music for T-ara's hit song "Roly Poly" started, she was ready to perform.
"Wow, sis, you're killing me!"
The dance itself was powerful and rhythmic with high entertainment value—plus, with the dancer's exquisite face, it was hard to decide whether to watch her moves or her looks.
"Today I admit, cuteness is nothing compared to allure."
"+1."
"I admit it too."
"Lao Lu, I was wrong."
Qiang Zhihao's eyes were glued to Mou Keyan, with no time to be distracted.
While watching, he apologized to Lu Jincheng beside him, "Without comparison there's no harm done—on second thought, Xu Ya is just average."
"There's room for improvement."
"Damn! That's not what you just said. Changing your tune so quickly after pulling up your pants, huh?"
Zhang Gaoqiang, who also couldn't take his eyes off, couldn't help but smack Qiang Zhihao.
"So if you had to pick between Xu Ya and senior Mou Keyan, who would you choose?"
"Idiot, if there was a choice, of course I'd choose the senior!"
Some people are just born to stand under the spotlight, naturally basking in the surrounding gazes and cheers. With all that attention, their already striking features seem to rise to another level.
Mou Keyan's long hair fluttered in the night wind like a black waterfall flowing behind her, exuding charm.
With each turn, each wave, she seemed to cast a magic spell, drawing everyone's eyes to focus solely on her.
"Thank you, everyone~"
As the bgm neared its end, Mou Keyan gave the audience a deep bow, her breathing steady and controlled just perfectly after her performance.
"If anyone is interested in joining the Jinlang Dance Troupe, we'll be waiting for you after military training at the club fair!"
The applause was thunderous, not just from the students— even the instructors who stopped to watch were completely enchanted by Mou Keyan.
"So, juniors, goodbye~ I hope you have fun at Nanhu University~!"
She turned and walked away from the evening party, her entourage following with various sizes of portable lights.
"Lao Lu, how many people do you think chase after a girl like her?"
Liu Yisheng looked at Mou Keyan's retreating figure, his eyes filled with a sense of longing, "That aura, just having three or four lackeys to carry her stuff; I can't even dare to imagine how many sycophants she has normally."
"If only such a beauty could dance for me every day."
Zhang Gaoqiang lifted his head and let out a long sigh toward the stars.
"Lao Zhang, don't be in such a hurry; give it a few years, and you'll definitely have it."
Lu Jincheng laughed and patted Zhang Gaoqiang on the shoulder.
After seeing Mou Keyan's performance, he was even more convinced of his idea about the entrepreneurial track that afternoon.
Girls like Mou Keyan, with their strong expressive power, solid professional skills, and what seemed like an ample helping of generosity and confidence in their personalities, taking the path of an internet celebrity was like being spoon-fed by the heavens.
The year 2014 was commonly known as the first year of internet celebrities.
The 4G network had begun to spread that year, significantly improving network speeds, making the transmission of high-definition video content smoother and more convenient.
This epic technological breakthrough provided robust support for the development of video-based social platforms, allowing video-centric internet celebrities to rise to prominence quickly.
That year, video-based social platforms had just begun to emerge.
The rise of video applications like Yingke and Huajiao, as well as game live streaming platforms like Douyu and Huya, provided broad opportunities for streamers.
These platforms allowed streamers to interact directly with their fans through live streaming short videos and other forms, leading to the gradual rise of a novel form of communication.
And Mr. Lu, who was ready to ride the wave, was about to make his mark and stir up the waters.
"Jinlang Dance Troupe, what's the deal with this name? I'm going to see just how 'Jinlang' they are..."
Even after the party had ended, the single dogs of Dormitory 603 were still discussing tonight's most popular leading lady.
"Life is full of uncertainty, cast yourself into the midst of Jinlang."
Sitting in front of his computer and searching for something, Lu Jincheng subconsciously picked up the conversation.
"Damn what?"
"You even know where that's from?"
"Mr. Lu is cultured indeed!"
The three brothers looked at Lu Jincheng in unison.
"Well, not really... That was the name of a Taobao shop I used to like a lot."
Lu Jincheng's face reddened a bit, but his search didn't falter for a second.
"Mr. Lu, what are you up to?"
Everyone's gaze shifted to him, seeing several Weibo interfaces open on Lu Jincheng's computer screen.
"Just curious, I'm seeing if I can find Mou Keyan's Weibo."
In his past life, he had become a powerful force to be reckoned with, so naturally his information gathering and social engineering skills were quite good.
"No way, you can find her?"
"Can't say for others, but since the senior is so flashy, it shouldn't be too difficult."
Soon, Lu Jincheng found the V-verified Nanhu University Jinlang Dance Troupe on Weibo through the Weibo.
And from the video content of the Jinlang Dance Troupe, he quickly identified a Weibo user.
Weibo ID: Miao Miao Not Talking.
Number of followers: 110,380.
"Look, is this her?"
Lu Jincheng spread out his hand, showing Mou Keyan's bright smile in a grid of nine photos.
"Damn, you actually found her!"
"Pretty impressive."
"Don't make a fuss, it's basic stuff."
Mr. Lu, with his arms crossed, spent about ten minutes analyzing Mou Keyan's Weibo.
Indeed, she was a born internet celebrity.
