HuaYu: Superstars Starting from Super Star Avenue

Lin Mo and Coach Liu exchanged contact information.

Watching Jay Chou and Will Liu leave, Jam Hsiao was still immersed in excitement.

Hsiao Ching-teng, clutching the autographed jersey, was incoherent:

"Holy crap! That's awesome!"

"I played basketball with Jay Chou today and even got his autograph! If word gets out..."

"No, I can't tell anyone! But it feels so good!"

Lin Mo glanced at him but didn't say anything.

Is it really necessary to get so excited?

How come he doesn't feel anything at all?

Hmm, not at all.

I was just too focused on playing basketball and forgot to check how many entertainment points it would cost to link with Jay Chou.

However, Lin Mo remembered that in the original timeline, Jam Hsiao and Jay Chou seemed to have a good relationship and often played basketball together.

After all, they're both from the Taiwanese entertainment industry and both love playing basketball.

The circle is only so big, it's not surprising that they hang out together.

I just didn't expect this intersection to happen tonight.

......

Outside the stadium.

As Coach Liu started the car, he casually said to Zhou Jielun in the passenger seat:

"That Lin Mo from earlier, he played basketball quite well, he's tall and has a good appearance."

"Hmm." Jay Chou leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to rest.

"Aren't you about to film that basketball movie?"

"Doesn't the show need some supporting actors or extras who can play basketball and have good looks?"

Coach Liu continued,

"I think he can give it a try. He's a newcomer, so his salary requirements aren't high, his image fits the bill, he can play ball, and he's quite good at networking."

Jay Chou kept his eyes closed, seemingly lost in thought.

After a few seconds, he mumbled an "um".

"We could have someone from the film crew try to make contact."

He added casually, but clearly he had taken it to heart.

"The casting was still done by Emperor Entertainment. I'd better focus on making my own movie first."

"You're really busy," Coach Liu remarked, then started his car and drove away from the stadium.

......

......

"Really? You played basketball with Jay Chou tonight?"

Inside the rented room, Zeng Peici had just finished showering and was drying her wet hair with a towel when she heard Lin Mo's words, and she looked surprised.

Lin Mo directly showed Jay Chou's autograph.

"Jay Chou"

Zeng Peici glanced at it, and his mouth immediately opened into an "O" shape.

However, to Lin Mo's surprise, Zeng Peici's next words were not an excited scream of "I like him so much!", nor did she ask for details.

Instead, her big eyes flashed with a clever idea, and she asked in a gossipy tone in a low voice:

"Did you ask him if he and anchor Hou got back together recently? I saw some really dramatic reports in the newspapers!"

Lin Mo: "..."

He stared blankly at the girl in front of him, who was bursting with curiosity.

What's going on?

You're such a gossip!

"I didn't ask," Lin Mo said, sounding somewhat speechless.

"We were just playing ball, and we chatted a bit about music and the game. Who would ask that kind of question the first time they met?"

"Oh..." Zeng Peici pouted in disappointment.

"That's a pity! You must ask for me next time you have the chance!"

Lin Mo: "..."

Never mind, he decided to change the subject:

"woman."

Lin Mo poked Zeng Peici's still-damp cheek.

"Aren't you going to ask me how my match went today?"

Zeng Peici tilted her head back, her big eyes curving into crescent moons:

"Is that even a question? You sang 'Those Years,' how could you possibly lose?"

She reached out and wrapped her arms around Lin Mo's neck, tiptoed and gently pecked him on the lips, her voice sweet:

"I have a lot of confidence in you."

.....

.....

Two more days passed, on Saturday night.

Xiaomei and Rongrong, best friends, had already made plans to meet again at Xiaomei's apartment.

Prepare snacks and drinks, and get ready to share this "star-studded feast".

Since the last episode, when both women fell for Lin Mo, their battle for him has been going on non-stop this week.

Rongrong sat on the sofa and said:

"You little slut, didn't you say you only loved Yang Zongwei? How long has it been and you're already head over heels for Lin Mo? You really are fickle, falling in love with every guy you see."

Xiaomei had just entered the house and was changing her shoes in the entryway.

She gracefully removed her thin stockings, revealing her toes painted with light pink nail polish.

Barefoot, he stepped onto the cold floor and walked into the living room, speaking defiantly:

"Rongrong, don't talk to your older sister like that. We're all family. At worst, you can be the older sister and I'll be the younger sister."

As she spoke, she took off her short skirt, changed into cotton lounge shorts, plopped down next to Rongrong, and deliberately rubbed her face against Rongrong's, continuing to tease her:

"From now on, Lin Mo will be with me on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and you on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. As for Sundays... let him take care of us sisters together. Isn't that great?"

"Oh my god, are you trying to kill me?! What nonsense are you spouting?!"

Rongrong wasn't as shameless as Xiaomei, and she blushed instantly.

Feeling both embarrassed and annoyed, he pounced on Xiaomei and tickled her.

"I'll tear your mouth apart! You'll see how much nonsense you spout!"

"Hahaha... Stop, stop scratching me! I was wrong! Lady Rongrong, have mercy!"

Xiao Mei is extremely ticklish, and she was tickled so badly that she trembled uncontrollably.

Two young girls were playfully wrestling on the sofa, panting heavily, their hair disheveled, and covered in sweat.

In the end, Xiaomei was the first to surrender:

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around! The show's about to start!"

Rongrong then let her go. The two quickly straightened their clothes and hair, sat down again, and turned their eyes to the television screen.

As the opening theme song played, host Tao Zi's familiar smiling face appeared.

"Welcome back to 'Super Star Avenue'! Tonight, we'll see the first head-to-head battle between the top 24 contestants from the first season! The battle is about to begin!"

The show officially began amidst tense and exciting music.

This episode includes a "makeover" segment and a competition in the second half.

However, they came in interspersed.

Most of the styling and transformation process was cut out, leaving only the beginning.

The remaining part involves showing a clip of each contestant's transformation before they take the stage.

When they saw Lin Mo being directly named by stylist Zheng Jianguo as "not needing a makeover," and even invited to become his "temporary assistant," Xiao Mei and Rong Rong couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

"Wow! Is Lin Mo that highly regarded?"

"Teacher Zheng has excellent taste!"

On the television, the program continued.

Groups of contestants took the stage, drew lots, and faced off.

Xiao Mei and Rong Rong watched and commented, but their minds were clearly more focused on Lin Mo, who had not yet appeared.

Finally, it was Liu Mingfeng's turn to take the stage, and the contestant he drew was Lin Mo.

"They're here!" Xiaomei and Rongrong immediately sat up straight, even their breathing became more careful.

Liu Mingfeng was the first to sing. After his makeover, with his slicked-back hair and suit, he looked much more mature.

He sang an original rock song with all his might.

"Tsk, so noisy." Rongrong wrinkled her nose.

"It's alright, but it feels like... they're too eager to show off." Xiao Mei was more objective and didn't really like it.

After the performance, it was Lin Mo's turn to take the stage, followed by the classic "pre-match trash talk" segment.

When Liu Mingfeng picked up the microphone and uttered those provocative words to Lin Mo—

"Damn it! What does he mean?!"

Rongrong was the first to get angry, almost jumping off the sofa.

"The previous groups were all very polite, but he's so talkative? Did Lin Mo dig up his ancestral graves or something?"
