Rong Yi is coming to pick him up?
In his current state, he is going to see Rong Yi?
No, absolutely not!
Li Mantao grabbed Li Mi and asked, "How long are we going to finish filming?"
Li Mi saw that he looked panicked after reading a message, raised an eyebrow and said, "If we're quick, we should be able to finish the filming in the morning."
"Then let me put it this way. I'll only accompany you to shoot this morning. I'll be free to do whatever I want in the afternoon."
After getting Li Mi's promise, Li Mantao turned around and reported the news to Rong Yi.
Li Mantao: You go first. I'm too sleepy. I'll go there in the afternoon.
By the afternoon, he would be free!
Rong Yi: I'm busy this afternoon, so I'll send you my assistant's WeChat and have her pick you up this afternoon.
[Rong Yi: Recommended business card——]
When Assistant Rong Yi came over, he was already at the comic convention.
Li Mantao: No need to bother, I'll take a ride with my friend.
There was silence for a few minutes before the other party replied with an "OK".
The group had almost packed up and got into two cars.
Li Mantao and Li Mi were riding in the car driven by the man in the European-style suit.
The man's name was Dong Yuan. He was very talkative and chatted with several people in the car along the way. Li Mantao was also taken along to chat for a few minutes and felt that he was not bad.
Arriving at the comic convention, Li Mantao could no longer hide and resigned himself to going to the bathroom with his bag.
After struggling to put on the cosplay costume, Li Mantao's whole body turned slightly red, not sure if it was because of embarrassment or heat.
After hesitating for a long time, Li Mantao opened the bathroom door.
As soon as she opened the door, she bumped into a man walking in. When the man saw Li Mantao in a light dance dress, he immediately looked away and apologized as he backed away.
"Shit, sorry, I went the wrong way!"
Li Mantao: “…”
He dug his toes into the ground in embarrassment, and was glad that he was wearing a veil so that others could not see his expression.
As he rushed out of the men's bathroom with his head down, Li Mantao could even hear the man muttering doubtfully to himself.
"No, this is the male guard... Oh my god, a crossdresser!"
Li Mantao ran faster.
When we returned to the meeting point, Li Mi was already waiting there with a wig.
She circled around Li Mantao with satisfaction. "Hmm, not bad, it fits me well... Come and put on the wig. There's also a veil."
Li Mantao had lost all hope in life and let Li Mi toss her around like a rag doll. After the wig and veil were put on, Dong Yuan and the others couldn't help but sigh.
Li Mantao was in a trance, with those big words echoing in his ears all the time - cross-dressing boss.
The following morning, Li Mantao listened to Li Mi's instructions like a robot, made movements, expressions, and took a bunch of weird photos and stupid videos.
"Okay, Taotao, your task is completed. Senior is very satisfied." Li Mi held the camera and checked the photos over and over again, feeling extremely satisfied.
Li Mantao took two seconds to react. "Is it over?"
"Haha, you're finally back to life?" Dong Yuan clapped his hands on his shoulders and laughed a few times. "Want to play with me again this afternoon?"
Li Mantao just wanted to change his clothes quickly, so he shook his head and said, "No, I'm going to go out on my own this afternoon."
Dong Yuan said regretfully: "Okay, we can hang out together more often in school. Here's my WeChat, scan it..."
Several people from the crew came over and showed their WeChat QR codes to add each other as friends.
Li Mantao added them all on WeChat, asked Li Mi for makeup remover wipes, and then went to the bathroom.
After leaving the small crew group, he walked alone among the crowd of people at the comic convention, and was suddenly surrounded by several girls.
"Baby, you're so authentic, you can collect stamps!"
Li Mantao was surrounded and was forced to take a few photos while feeling dizzy. Then he continued to move towards the bathroom with difficulty.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but it seems like more and more people are coming this way.
"Hey, it came out easily!"
His mind automatically captured the key words, and Li Mantao subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.
Not far away, several cosplayers dressed in elegant, ancient costumes stood in the arena, each holding an exquisitely shaped weapon as they were photographed by photographers. Li Mantao recognized them as wearing the costumes of the martial arts sects from the game "Xunxian Wendao."
Just by looking over there, everyone's attention was attracted by the man in the luxurious black robe.
Rong Yi was holding a Dragon Soul Tang sword and wearing a black brocade robe. He looked like a god. Just standing there casually, he attracted everyone's attention.
After actually seeing Rong Yi's cosplay with his own eyes, Li Mantao seemed to finally understand why Rong Yi had so many fans.
"Lianxin is right next to him, ah, we are a perfect match! Young couples should always be close to each other, okay!" The girl who collected stamps from him just now said excitedly, shaking her companion next to her.
Li Mantao's gaze turned and his eyes lit up again.
Next to Rong Yi, there was another cold "woman" wearing a pure white gauze dress with wide sleeves embroidered with silver patterns and with silver hair like a waterfall. She was talking to Rong Yi with her head down.
"Brother Lian..." The last time they met was when he was a freshman in college. Lian Yu drove him to school. In a blink of an eye, more than a year had passed.
Li Mantao walked forward a few steps along the crowd, and his eyes suddenly met with someone who turned around to look at him.
The stern-looking cosplayer in black casually raised his eyes, his gaze fixed on a single point through the crowd, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Suddenly remembering what he was wearing, Li Mantao thought to himself, "Oh no!" and instinctively turned around - no, he was wearing a veil and heavy makeup, there was no way Rong Yi could recognize him.
So I turned back with peace of mind and continued to observe several well-known cosplayers.
He had never been to such a large comic convention before, and it was also his first time to see so many cosplayers with such exquisite and realistic makeup. It was very refreshing for a while.
I just always felt that Rong Yi looked at him several more times, but it was probably an illusion.
Several girls next to me held up their phones and wanted to take pictures of their own couple, but because they were short, they were blocked by the people in front of them.
Li Mantao had had enough of the fun and wanted to go to the bathroom to change clothes, but when he saw the struggling looks of several girls, he stopped.
"Shall I take the photo for you?"
The girl turned around in surprise and saw Li Mantao in a light gauze dance dress.
She is slim but tall, probably almost 1.8 meters tall, and stands out very conspicuously in the crowd.
"Can I?" The girl shyly handed over her phone. "Please help me take more photos of Lian Xin Bu Ku and Yi Ru Fan Zhang, uh, the ones in black and white clothes."
Li Mantao responded and started filming with his mobile phone.
However, Yi Rufanzhan, who was framed in the phone, suddenly became some distance away from Lian Xinbuku, and Li Mantao had to adjust the focus to record both of them in the video.
Li Mantao stared at the two people in the picture, one in black and one in white, and a question suddenly popped up in his mind.
Why would Rong Yi be gay with Lian Mo?
"Thank you." The girl took the phone and took out some snacks from her bag. "Baby, can you expand the list?"
Li Mantao often surfs the Internet, and he knows that expanding one's circle means adding contact information. However, he does not intend to have in-depth contact with others with his current image, so he politely declined.
Several big cosplayers walked away, and the crowd moved with them. Li Mantao entered the bathroom smoothly.
By the time she finally changed her clothes and removed her makeup, Li Mantao felt exhausted.
He took out the cell phone from his bag and found that Lian Yu had sent him several messages, asking him to contact him when he arrived.
Lian Mei: My brother is off taking promotional photos. If you're tired of shopping, come to my lounge. I've prepared something to eat for you.
The back includes pictures of the lounge address, snacks, and a map of the venue.
Rong Yi also sent a WeChat message asking him when he would arrive. Li Mantao thought about it and replied that he would arrive soon.
After walking for quite a while, Li Mantao's stamina was almost exhausted. He studied the map for a while and found that Lian Yu's lounge was nearby, so he started walking towards it.
When he entered the lounge, there was only one girl inside. When she saw him, her eyes behind her glasses flashed and she asked, "Are you Mr. Manmantao?"
Li Mantao nodded: "It's me, Lian Yu asked me to come here."
The girl stood up and moved closer, as if she wanted to see Li Mantao's true face through the mask on his face.
"Can you take off your mask so I can see?"
Was this a physical exam or something? Li Mantao hesitantly hooked his mask down to his chin, revealing a face still speckled with glitter.
It was her first time removing makeup, and Li Mantao was so unskilled that she rubbed her face red, but there was still a hint of glitter stuck on it.
"Wow...it's exactly what Xiaofang said." The girl said expressionlessly.
Li Mantao: "Xiao Fang? Who?"
"No big deal, just sit anywhere. You can eat whatever's on the table. Lianxin went to take promotional photos. She should be back to change clothes soon. She also has a dance to perform."
Just as he sat down and opened a bag of potato chips, the door of the lounge was pushed open again. Li Mantao raised his head with a potato chip in his mouth.
"Manman."
The man, dressed in a distinguished white robe, walked over a few steps, opened his arms and smiled at him, "Long time no see."
Li Mantao quickly chewed up the potato chips and swallowed them, then stood up, hugged Lian Yu, and said with a silly smile, "Brother Lian, long time no see."
Lian Yu was wearing high heels and was much taller than Li Mantao. He rubbed Li Mantao's head and said, "Why do you feel taller? Are you 1.8 meters tall now?"
Li Mantao's back stiffened, and his tone was vague: "Of course!" He is still 1.8 meters tall even with shoes on!
"Oh? I happened to have a ruler with me. Let me measure how many centimeters taller we have become."
Li Mantao took a big step away and said, "There's no need to measure this..."
Lian Yu's beautiful eyes curved into a happy arc, "I won't tease you anymore, brother still has work to do, if you are hungry, just eat."
Li Mantao sat obediently on the side and watched several staff members change Lian Yu's clothes, and the same question flashed through his mind again.
He stared at Lian Yu, who was so beautiful that it was hard to tell whether she was male or female, and suddenly an idea struck him - could it be that Rong Yi liked Lian Yu?!
Li Mantao's pupils trembled. In front of him was Lian Yu's face, and then Rong Yi's face. The whispers of several girls rang in his ears.
"Ah, he loves him so much~"
Recalling the various comments about this couple on the Internet, Li Mantao felt that he understood everything.
