Chapter 305 Mengli the Superstar
Chapter 305 Mengli the Superstar
The car drove smoothly all the way to the entrance of Han City University.
Li Mengli thanked the driver, then opened the car door and got out.
She pushed her suitcase and slowly walked into the campus.
Although I had just been on a plane for more than ten hours, the conditions on that plane were just too good.
She slept soundly on the plane, so she doesn't feel tired at all now; on the contrary, she feels particularly energetic.
Li Mengli took a deep breath of the campus air.
A familiar feeling washed over me.
She pulled her suitcase all the way to her dormitory building.
I took the elevator upstairs and pushed open the dormitory door.
As soon as she entered the door, Li Mengli hadn't even had a chance to put down her suitcase.
Then a very exaggerated scream came from inside.
"Aaaaaaah!"
Zhao Jiajia was sitting at her desk, holding her phone.
As soon as she saw Li Mengli enter, she jumped up from her chair.
She ran barefoot to Li Mengli without even putting on shoes.
Zhao Jiajia hugged Li Mengli tightly, jumping and shouting excitedly:
"Mengli! You're finally back!"
"My God! Do you know how famous you are now?! You're a big star!"
Li Mengli was startled by Zhao Jiajia's crazy appearance.
She took a step back, her face full of confusion.
"Jiajia, what's wrong with you? Did you take the wrong medicine?"
"What big star? What are you talking about? I don't understand a word you're saying!"
Zhao Jiajia released Li Mengli.
She excitedly held her phone up to Li Mengli's face.
"See for yourself! You'll see for yourself!"
"You're the most popular person on the entire internet right now!"
Li Mengli looked down at her phone screen.
The screen displays the homepage of a news app.
The top headline, displayed in very large, bold red font, read:
[Shocking! The most beautiful girl from China appears at Paris Fashion Week! Her mysterious identity revealed!]
When Li Mengli saw this title, her brows furrowed slightly.
This kind of headline is clearly the kind of gossip news designed specifically to grab attention.
She usually dislikes watching this kind of thing the most.
However, when her gaze moved down and she saw the large photo accompanying the headline...
She was completely stunned.
That photo was taken very clearly.
The person in the photo is wearing a very unique white dress.
She was wearing very exquisite makeup and walking the runway on a very dazzling catwalk.
That person was herself!
Li Mengli opened her mouth wide and her eyes widened.
She snatched Zhao Jiajia's phone and quickly swiped her finger across the screen.
The following are all news articles about her.
[The biggest dark horse of Paris Fashion Week! A perfect showcase of Eastern beauty!]
[Mr. Louis himself acknowledged this as his muse! Who exactly is this woman?]
[A set of photos has gone viral online! Let us introduce you to this stunning Chinese girl who dazzled in Paris!]
Not only are there news reports, but also countless comments from netizens.
"My God, this is so beautiful! She's like a fairy descended from heaven!"
"Her aura and looks completely outshine those so-called international supermodels!"
"Does anyone know her name? I need all her information within one minute!"
"This is such a source of pride for us Chinese! This is true Eastern beauty!"
Li Mengli looked at the overwhelming news and comments.
Her mind went blank.
She couldn't believe her eyes.
"What... what's going on?"
Li Mengli stammered.
"I...I was in Paris last night, I just went for a walk. How did I end up on the front page today?"
"This is outrageous!"
Seeing Li Mengli's dumbfounded expression, Zhao Jiajia couldn't help but laugh.
She took back her phone and said very proudly:
"What do you mean you only went up for a quick look around? Don't you even know where you went!"
"That was the opening show of Paris Fashion Week! The audience consisted of the world's top fashion figures and journalists."
"You were dressed so beautifully and performed so well; Mr. Louis kept praising you backstage."
"Of course, those reporters wouldn't let such good news material pass them by. Sure enough, as soon as the photos were sent back to China, they immediately went viral online."
As Zhao Jiajia spoke, she excitedly patted Li Mengli on the shoulder:
"Mengli, you're really famous now! Do you know that our school forum is full of posts discussing you?"
"Everyone's saying they never expected our school to have such a stunning beauty, and she even went to Paris Fashion Week. She's really made our school proud."
Li Mengli sighed helplessly as she listened to Zhao Jiajia's words.
She walked to her bed and plopped down.
"Sigh, I really never wanted to be famous."
"At the time, I just thought the stage looked pretty good, and Lu Wenzhou kept encouraging me, so I wanted to go up and experience that atmosphere."
"Who knew it would turn out like this?"
Li Mengli rubbed her temples, feeling a terrible headache.
She's not one to be too high-profile.
Although her father is the world's richest man, she has always tried to maintain a low-key lifestyle.
Now that's happened, I've suddenly become the focus of attention across the entire internet. How am I supposed to concentrate on my studies at school now?
Seeing Li Mengli's troubled expression, Zhao Jiajia went over to comfort her:
"Alright, alright, being famous isn't a bad thing. Countless people want to be famous but can't."
"Besides, you're so beautiful, it was only a matter of time."
"Why don't you rest for a bit? We have classes this afternoon. Be prepared for that."
After Zhao Jiajia finished speaking, she winked mischievously at Li Mengli.
Li Mengli nodded helplessly, lay down on the bed, and closed her eyes.
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Li Mengli changed into a very ordinary outfit, put on a baseball cap, and even wore a black face mask.
She wrapped herself up tightly before following Zhao Jiajia out of the dormitory.
The two of them walked along the path in the campus towards the teaching building.
Throughout the journey, Li Mengli kept her head down, afraid that others would recognize her.
However, things were not as simple as she thought.
Although she had covered herself up completely, her unique charm was still hard to hide.
Moreover, almost every student in the school is paying attention to this matter now.
They had just reached the foot of the teaching building.
Several sharp-eyed girls recognized Li Mengli.
"Hey, hey, hey! Look! Isn't that Li Mengli?"
"It really looks like her! Even though she's wearing a mask, her eyes and hairstyle are exactly the same as in the photo!"
"It really is her! Let's go see!"
Several girls immediately surrounded them.
One of the girls, holding her phone, looked at Li Mengli excitedly and asked loudly:
"Excuse me, are you Li Mengli? The one who went to Paris Fashion Week?"
When Li Mengli saw the girls surrounding her, she suddenly panicked.
She wanted to deny it, but Zhao Jiajia, standing beside her, had already excitedly answered for her:
"Yes, yes! That's Li Mengli! She just got back from Paris!"
Upon hearing this confirmation...
The surrounding students immediately erupted into a commotion.
Everyone crowded around, blocking Li Mengli and Zhao Jiajia at the entrance of the teaching building.
"Wow! It really is you! You're amazing!"
"Mengli, where did you buy that white dress? It's so beautiful!"
"Mengli, can I take a picture with you? I'm your biggest fan!"
"Could you please sign your autograph?"
More and more people gathered around.
Some people were taking pictures with their phones, while others were holding up notebooks and asking for autographs.
Everyone was very enthusiastic.
Li Mengli was terrified by this scene.
She waved her hands repeatedly as she backed away, saying repeatedly:
"Excuse me, excuse me. I have to go to class now, could you please make way?"
But there were just too many people around her, and she couldn't squeeze through at all.
Just when Li Mengli felt extremely helpless.
A tall figure squeezed in from outside the crowd.
It's Li Menghan.
Li Menghan also happens to have a class in this teaching building this afternoon.
As soon as he reached the foot of the teaching building, he saw a large crowd gathered there, making a lot of noise.
He was not one to like crowds and was about to walk around them.
But when he glanced over, he discovered that the person surrounded in the middle was actually his sister.
Li Menghan frowned.
He didn't know what had happened.
He thought his sister had encountered some trouble.
He immediately quickened his pace, forcefully pushed aside the crowd in front of him, and squeezed to the very back.
He reached out and pulled Li Mengli behind him.
He stood in front of Li Mengli, looking at the excited crowd around them.
He shouted very rudely:
"What are you all doing here?!"
"Get out of the way! Don't block the path!"
The students around were all stunned when they saw a boy suddenly rush out.
One of the girls looked at Li Menghan and said with some dissatisfaction:
"Who are you? We're here watching big stars, what's it to you?"
Li Menghan heard the words "big star".
He turned his head with some confusion and glanced at Li Mengli, who was hiding behind him.
"A big star? What big star?"
Li Mengli took off her mask, looked at her younger brother, and sighed helplessly.
Zhao Jiajia watched Li Menghan from the side, who seemed completely oblivious to everything.
She took out her phone, opened today's news headlines, and handed it to Li Menghan.
"You'll see when you look at this."
Li Menghan took the phone and glanced down at it.
When he saw the girl on the screen, wearing a white dress, walking the runway at Paris Fashion Week.
Just like Li Mengli that morning, he was completely stunned.
He opened his mouth wide, looked at his phone, and then at Li Mengli.
"Holy crap! Sis! Is that you?!"
Li Menghan's voice was very loud and filled with disbelief.
Although he knew his sister was beautiful, he never imagined that she would dress up and stand on an international stage.
It's surprisingly beautiful.
It's like he's a completely different person.
Li Mengli looked at her younger brother's surprised expression.
Her initially depressed mood suddenly improved considerably.
She put her mask back on.
Then, with her head held high, she looked at Li Menghan with great pride and said in a very relaxed and humorous tone:
"What's wrong? What's with that expression?"
"Your sister is naturally beautiful. Can't I be this pretty?"
Li Menghan looked at her sister's smug expression.
He smiled, shook his head, and handed the phone back to Zhao Jiajia.
"Okay, okay, you're beautiful. You're the prettiest."
"Big star, can we break through now and get to class? If we don't leave soon, the teacher will take attendance."
After saying that, Li Menghan led the way.
He forcefully pushed through the crowd, protecting Li Mengli and Zhao Jiajia, and finally managed to squeeze into the teaching building.
