The livestream of the "CatPaw's Top Beauty" aired every night from 7:30 to 10:30 PM.
Two days after her coquettish hand gesture dance went viral, the person who delivered the "fatal snipe" at the end of the video was finally about to reappear.
Tonight's livestream had already broken records in terms of pre-registrations. The moment the clock struck 7:30, everyone flocked to the homepage of "CatPaw's Top Beauty," eagerly awaiting the notification for the broadcast to begin.
Soon, the livestream link popped up.
Everyone rushed to click in, but due to network latency, the screen remained black for a moment, with no sound. However, the viewer count in the top-right corner and the barrage of comments below had already skyrocketed.
【??? Why is it still a black screen?】
【Where’s the streamer?! Where’s Ranran?!】
【Why isn’t the beauty here yet ahhh】
【Why does two days without Ranran’s livestream feel like two centuries?】
【Let’s wait a bit, it’s probably just network delay on the streamer’s side. It’ll be fine soon.】
Among the commenters in the livestream, aside from the usual veteran accounts, there were also many new IDs with low account levels—clearly a wave of new CatPaw users who had been drawn in by the short video and came specifically to watch the uniform-clad sweetheart who had sniped their hearts.
【Is this really that girl’s livestream? Why isn’t she here yet? I’m so nervous, my heart’s racing.】
【God knows how many times I’ve rewatched that moe girl’s video these past two days.】
【Same here! So sweet, I fall in love all over again every time.】
【Will she wear a JK outfit today? Sweetheart Ran is truly the GOAT.】
【Since that last video blew up, she’ll definitely wear JK again! I want to see her do the coquettish dance live!】
【Wuwuwu why is it still a black screen from network delay? I can’t wait any longer!】
...
The comments in the livestream scrolled upward at lightning speed, the anticipation for the uniform-clad moe girl practically overflowing from the screen. The stream hadn’t even started yet, but it had already climbed onto CatPaw’s hourly trending list.
Finally, after nearly a minute of black screen, everyone heard a sound—the familiar noise of a streamer adjusting their equipment before going live.
Then, in the next second, the black screen disappeared.
The first thing that caught everyone’s eye was a striking flash of red.
Gu Ran ran a hand through the "bad girl" waves she had curled that afternoon, checked that her setup and connection were working fine, tugged her skirt down slightly, and settled back into her chair.
She took a breath, then smiled at her reflection in the phone’s camera and greeted the audience as usual: "Hello, everyone! This is Ranran."
Her voice was crisp and sweet, like a glass of orange soda with a spoonful of sugar.
After greeting everyone, Gu Ran felt a little nervous. She wasn’t sure if the spicy little dress she was wearing today was the right choice.
It was the most opposite thing in her wardrobe compared to the cutesy JK outfit from before.
She had gained a lot of new followers over the past two days, all drawn in by that coquettish short video. When they tuned into the livestream today and saw that the moe sweetheart wasn’t dressed in the same style—or even close—they’d probably be disappointed.
Gu Ran silently apologized to her new fans in her heart, figuring some would leave the moment they realized the product didn’t match the advertisement.
She smiled at the camera again, then glanced at the viewer count in the top-right corner.
The number had indeed changed since she sat down.
But then...
Gu Ran’s smile froze when she saw the live viewer count surge by another 20,000.
?
The fans in the livestream were equally stunned when they saw Gu Ran’s appearance tonight.
If she hadn’t introduced herself, most of them would’ve thought they’d clicked into the wrong stream.
Everyone stared at the person on screen.
They had expected the streamer to ride the wave of her viral short video and double down on the sweetheart act tonight, delivering another round of moe overload.
Instead, they were met with a completely different aesthetic.
She simply sat there, dressed in a deep red, body-hugging spaghetti-strap dress. Her bangs and twin tails were gone, replaced by loose, cloud-like waves of jet-black hair. Under the lights, her skin looked as fair as snow.
Snow-white skin, black hair, red dress—the three colors clashed in the most visually arresting way.
The person on screen wasn’t showing anything inappropriate, yet somehow, at first glance, she still managed to look so irresistibly sexy it made hearts race.
That fluttering sensation might’ve come from the bold colors, the way the fabric clung to her curves, or perhaps the way her eyes met the camera—unintentionally, yet devastatingly alluring.
The way a beauty adjusted her setup was lethal. Her gaze seemed to innocently say, "I’m not trying to seduce you," yet every detail from head to toe was doing exactly that.
It finally dawned on everyone.
Who said that just because the coquettish hand gesture dance went viral, she’d stick to the same theme tonight?
What’s the fun in just one style? Some people could hook you no matter how they dressed.
Turns out, the moe girl from the short video wasn’t just capable of making you feel like you’d fallen in love at first sight—she could also switch outfits and instantly have you saluting in respect.
The true essence of moe and seduction, a natural-born heartthrob.
Comments:
【HOLY SHT!】
【Last week I saw the sweetheart and thought I was in love. Today, all I can say is—I’m hooked.】
【Is there any look this beauty can’t pull off?!】
【This figure… am I even allowed to look? drooling So spicy!】
【Why does this dress, which doesn’t even show cleavage, make me blush so hard?!】
【Same! My thoughts are getting impure uwuwuwu】
【That gaze… I’m deceased.】
【JK last week, spicy babe this week—she’s too good, too good! How is she this perfect?!】
【Is she a nine-tailed fox in disguise tonight? She is, right?!】
【Who needs a hook? If it’s her, I’ll climb the pole myself!】
...
In the livestream, Gu Ran stared at the frenzied barrage of comments, her lips parting slightly.
Wh-what’s going on?!
Why did things never go the way she expected?!
Weren’t these people here for the sweetheart act? Why were they even into the spicy look, which had nothing to do with moe?!
Gu Ran gulped nervously, but she had no choice but to push through with the livestream.
Her content was simple—chatting with viewers, singing a couple of songs, occasionally playing a few rounds of games.
The comments begged her to redo last week’s coquettish hand gesture dance.
Gu Ran pretended not to see them.
After ending the stream, she slumped into her chair, pressing a hand to her chest.
Thinking about those fans who seemed equally enamored with both her sweetheart and spicy personas, she felt like she’d never understand their tastes.
Gu Ran glanced down at the dress she was wearing, then suddenly grabbed her phone and opened a shopping app to leave a review.
"I don’t think this dress is very good. It’s way too eye-catching! Sisters who want to keep a low profile, think twice."
She attached a mirror selfie of herself in the dress, face covered.
After posting the review, Gu Ran felt a pang of anxiety.
She had never left a negative review before, and she’d heard horror stories about sellers harassing buyers over bad ratings—some even sending funeral wreaths.
"Ding." Her phone chimed with a new message.
Gu Ran checked and saw it was from the customer service rep of the online store where she’d bought the dress.
Her hand trembled. She never expected that the first time she left a negative review for a purchase, the seller would respond so quickly. Bracing herself for a scolding from customer service, she tapped open the message and saw:
"Dear customer, thank you for your detailed review with photos! The boss is very satisfied and has just transferred a 500-yuan red envelope to your Alipay account~"
Gu Ran stared at the heart emoji sent by the customer service rep, then heard the notification of her Alipay balance updating.
"...?"
Just as Gu Ran was puzzling over the sudden 500 yuan in her account, her phone rang.
Ding Ze: "You finally made it to the trending list!"
Gu Ran: "Huh?"
Ding Ze couldn’t contain his excitement. Signing Gu Ran had been the right decision—just as he’d known from the first moment he saw her, recognizing her immense potential.
Ding Ze: "Hurry, check it out! You’re already at number six on the hot search and still climbing."
Listening to Ding Ze’s exhilarated voice, Gu Ran finally pieced things together and frantically opened Weibo.

She tapped in and saw the top post—a short video.
First, a few clips of her in a JK uniform, doing a cute gesture dance with playful charm. Then, as the dance ended with a "fatal shot" finger-gun motion, a gunshot sound effect rang out, and the music shifted. The vibe flipped entirely.
In slow motion, the sweet girl in the JK outfit transformed into a stunning femme fatale—red dress, dark hair, and a gaze full of allure.
Gu Ran’s phone clattered to the floor.
