Chapter 504: Modern Era (32) - If Scenario
When Anno and Tuka met up, they found that it was practically a huge gathering of small animals.
The little fox Tuka, dressed in a cosplay outfit of a game character, boldly showed off her animal ears and tail, and happily took photos with the humans.
The members of the Tuka Society also revealed their non-human forms. In this public human setting, they could finally unleash their non-human forms without any restraint, and they were all very happy.
They even participated in the competition, singing and dancing on stage one by one. Anno was also infected by their joy and dragged Huo Yin to stroll around the venue together.
This comic convention in Beijing is held annually and also collaborates with foreign countries. In addition to anime, there are also some high-concept technology exhibitions that showcase technologies that have not yet been realized. They only present a concept and create various models.
Anno wandered around the exhibition area for a long time. During this time, the two of them were constantly stopped by people who wanted to take photos with them. Neither of them liked to interact with strangers, so they wore masks to avoid trouble, but people still kept asking for photos.
After being surrounded for photos again, the two looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
“As expected, this kind of occasion is not suitable for me.” Anuo leaned against Huo Yin and whispered, “I like to join in the fun and then no one pays attention to me, so I can play in peace.”
Upon hearing this, Huo Yin took her hand in the crowded throng, led her to a stall, and handed her a fox mask.
"Good idea."
Both of them wore masks. Although there were still quite a few people who wanted to take photos with them, they felt much more at ease wearing masks.
After browsing around, Anuo bought a lot of merchandise. Some of it was bought by her fifth sister and fourth brother, who are now a sophomore and a senior respectively. They have their own club activities and things to do, so they can't come over right away. She bought it to bring back to them.
Her fifth sister kept sending her messages, urging her to take more photos to take back.
As Anno raised her camera, a hand quietly reached out from behind her to touch her ribs, but it was caught by Huo Yin before it could reach Anno.
His hand gripped the groping hand tightly like an iron clamp, squeezing the owner of the groping hand until he cried out in pain.
Hearing the noise, Anuo turned around and saw a man being held by one hand by Huo Yin. No matter how hard the man pulled, he could not break free from Huo Yin's grasp.
"Let go! It hurts so much! Are you trying to break my hand? I'm calling the police!"
The man was in so much pain that he almost fell to his knees, and he started yelling "Stop thief!"
Upon seeing this, the surrounding crowd immediately stepped aside, creating a separate space for themselves.
Instantly, the three of them were surrounded in a circle, and everyone around them watched this scene in astonishment.
"What happened?"
"I don't know, this cosplayer suddenly grabbed his hand, wow, he's so strong, I felt like he was going to bend over."
"It seems that the guy tried to touch the girl next to him first, but he got caught."
The man struggled and cursed, and onlookers immediately took pictures of the scene and posted them in several large groups at the anime convention.
As soon as it was posted, apart from some people who were just watching the drama without understanding the situation, some people immediately recognized Anuo, Huo Yin, and the man who had been captured.
"Aren't these the two cosplayers I just took a picture with? They weren't wearing masks before, just face masks. They're both super good-looking, and they're really nice and adorable. That bunny girl is so cute!"
"I also managed to take pictures of them. Even though they were wearing masks, you could still tell they were really good-looking. There were so many people taking pictures of them that it was a real struggle for me to squeeze in."
"What's going on? Why is he grabbing that guy?"
"I heard it's about groping hands?"
The discussion in the group was lively, and those nearby immediately went to watch.
Many people also posted photos of themselves with Anno and the others.
"Hey, I think I know this guy. He was caught taking pictures in the women's restroom a few times before."
"Yes! He even took upskirt photos of girls! It was him, he's practically been torn to shreds!"
Soon, many people in the group recognized the man and posted photos of his previous crimes and when he was taken away by the police after reporting them to the police.
"A repeat offender! He actually tried to pet the cute bunny girl. He's been caught red-handed this time!"
"Ahhh, Mr. Wolf is so manly! How did he manage to hold him so tightly? The man was screaming and howling, it must have been in a lot of pain."
"Well done! We won't let a guy like that get away with it."
From the man's initial shouting and cursing to his eventual pleas for mercy, Huo Yin remained expressionless until the security guards arrived. Only then did he loosen the man's wrist, forcefully toss him to the ground, and let him roll several times.
"My hand is broken, you owe me medical expenses!"
The man clutched his wrist and wailed. The security guards, after listening to the crowd's descriptions, learned what had happened. At conventions like this, they had encountered many men like this who took advantage of the situation. They immediately took him away and told the crowd that he would be handed over to the police.
The man was taken away, but the onlookers had not dispersed and were all looking at Miss Rabbit and the tall Mr. Wolf at the center of the incident.
Anno took a picture of Huo Yin with his camera, thinking to himself that Huo Yin must be very angry right now, but he was wearing a mask so he couldn't see his face.
"Let's go." Anuo took his hand and squeezed his palm to soothe his emotions.
After seeing the two walk away hand in hand, the onlookers took photos and gradually dispersed.
Tuka and the others saw the message in the group chat and called to ask where Anno and the others were. At that moment, they were preparing for their match on stage. Anno said, "Everything's fine now. Has your match started? I'm coming to find you."
"We're about to go on stage, in section D, on the biggest stage."
When Anuo and Huo Yin arrived at Section D, the area below the stage was already packed with audience members, three or four layers deep, making it almost impossible for her to see the stage.
She stood on tiptoe and craned her neck to look, but with a sea of people in front of her, she could only make out a blurry picture.
At that moment, Huo Yin whispered in her ear, "Come up."
She looked over and saw that Huo Yin had already squatted down in front of her, patted his shoulder, and gestured for her to sit on his shoulder.
Without much hesitation, she happily jumped onto his back, hugged his neck, and rubbed against him.
Huo Yin couldn't help but turn his head and nuzzle her cheek, a smile playing on his lips. "The view is better when you sit on her shoulder."
Anuo then straddled his shoulders, and Huo Yin supported her legs to steadily lift her up.
As soon as he stood up, Anuo's view opened up, and his height of nearly 1.9 meters meant that almost no one could block her view.
The performance she was watching involved her holding his head one moment and placing her hands on top of his head, kneading his pair of wolf ears, which felt incredibly smooth.
Huo Yin's face, covered by a mask, was already slightly flushed, but he could only let her do as she pleased.
After watching the game, it was already noon. Anno and Tuka went out for a bite to eat and then continued to explore the remaining booths.
Huo Xuan and Baroque sat together, making a lot of noise, looking at each other's merchandise.
By the afternoon, Anno was already a bit tired from walking around, but he saw that Baroque and the others were still very energetic. Although Baroque usually complained about Huo Xuan, Anno knew that he actually quite liked playing with this friend.
Baroque has been shy since childhood, and she is also rather slow to warm up to people. Although Huo Xuan and the others are noisy, Baroque likes friends who are lively and cheerful. She is obviously much happier when she is with Huo Xuan and Tuka.
The venue was huge, with a dazzling array of stalls displaying all sorts of goods. Anuo was getting tired of browsing. Seeing that most of the items she wanted were sold out, she went to the rest area and found a seat.
Huo Yin accompanied her to the rest area. Anuo looked at the photos she had taken that day for a while, and then she started to feel sleepy. The venue was very warm, which made her even sleepier.
She put away the camera and rested her upper body directly on Huo Yin's lap.
Huo Yin unfolded his coat and covered her with it, brushing the long hair from her cheek. She grabbed his fidgeting hand and quickly fell asleep.
When Baroque and the others had finished their sightseeing and came to the rest area to find Anno and the others, they saw Anno sleeping with his head on Huo Yin's lap, a scene so harmonious that it seemed no one could intrude.
After a moment of stunned silence, he felt a surge of anger and resentment, and wanted to step forward and pull them apart, but when he actually tried to do so, he suddenly found himself unable to move his leg.
After hesitating for a while, he went up and woke Anuo up. Anuo was sleeping soundly and was a little impatient to be woken up. She grabbed Huo Yin's hand and said, "Sleepy."
As she spoke, she reluctantly sat up, but her eyes remained closed. She swayed her head and leaned against Huo Yin's shoulder, muttering, "Brother, carry me."
Upon hearing this, Baroque was about to kneel down in front of her when she called out, "Brother Huo Yin."
Baroque: "..." When did she start calling Huo Yin so affectionately?
"good."
Huo Yin squatted down in front of her, and An Nuo softly snuggled onto his back, wrapped her arms around his neck, and continued to sleep.
Huo Yin carried her out of the venue. It was snowing heavily outside, and a cold wind was blowing from time to time. Anuo was instantly refreshed by the cold wind.
Then she hugged Huo Yin even tighter, "Little White Wolf, let's not go back, let's go somewhere else, just the two of us."
"good."
Huo Yin exchanged a few words with Huo Xuan, then carried An Nuo to a less crowded area.
He carried her step by step through the heavy snow, with only a few pedestrians passing by occasionally. The world was quiet and still, and Anuo's mind became calm.
She reached out to catch the snowflakes, then placed her slightly cold little hands on Huo Yin's neck to warm them. A doting smile flashed in Huo Yin's eyes as he let her play.
"Little Wolf, I feel like I've seen you somewhere before."
Huo Yin paused for a moment: "Why do you say that?"
"I don't know, it just feels like I've seen it somewhere in the past, or maybe in another world."
Huo Yin smiled faintly. "I think so too."
"Right, right? It's so strange. I've never felt so compatible with anyone before, as if we've known each other for a very long time."
"Yes, me too."
