"A comic convention?" Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow, looking at Bai Na, whose eyes were shining and who was practically pouncing on him like a giant dog, and was momentarily unable to follow her train of thought.
"Yeah, yeah!" Bai Na nodded like a chick pecking at rice, her hands unconsciously grabbing Qin Xiao's arm and shaking it excitedly. "President Qin, your physique is such a waste if you don't cosplay! Let me tell you, I have a favorite character, a battle mage. He usually wears a robe, but when he unleashes his ultimate attack, his robe bursts open, revealing his battle vest underneath, eight-pack abs, V-line, he's so incredibly cool! I've never been able to find a suitable partner; they're either too skinny, too muscular, or their vibe just doesn't match! President Qin, you're the one destined for me!"
Qin Xiao: "..." He felt that Feng Lingyi might have found him not a hacker, but a pyramid scheme leader.
"President Qin, how about... an employee benefit?" Seeing that Qin Xiao was unmoved, Bai Na rolled her eyes and played her trump card. Her voice softened and became pleading. "Or, how about we take this opportunity to inspect the youth market in advance? Our 'Ning Era' will also be aimed at the masses in the future, so it's always good to know about the trends."
Looking at her pitiful appearance, Qin Xiao recalled how she had cried uncontrollably over a bug earlier, and then thought of her peculiar thought process—that despite her social anxiety, she dared to throw herself into his arms—and finally sighed: "Who's going to prepare the clothes?"
"Me! Me! Me!" Bai Na immediately perked up at the prospect of success, patting her chest and guaranteeing, "Props, costumes, wigs, I've got them all ready! Size... I estimate a size L would fit you perfectly, Mr. Qin! Absolutely perfect!" She gave an OK sign, her eyes gleaming with the light of a master planner.
Qin Xiao had a premonition that he might have been tricked by this girl.
Jiangcheng International Convention and Exhibition Center.
The crowds surged, with bizarre costumes everywhere, and an excited and noisy atmosphere filled the air. Characters from various anime, games, and movies flitted about, as if one had entered a bizarre and fantastical otherworld.
Bai Na, feeling right at home, grabbed Qin Xiao's arm and excitedly looked around, constantly exclaiming, "Wow! That's a limited edition figure! Ah, that cosplayer's character is so accurate! Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin, look at that, it's the hidden boss from XX game!"
Qin Xiao was being pulled along by her, his face expressionless, but his gaze inadvertently swept over the meticulously crafted props and costumes, as well as the enthusiasm radiating from the cosplayers' faces. This pure, untainted passion touched him slightly.
Changing area.
When Qin Xiao followed Bai Na's instructions, changed into the so-called "battle mage" outfit, and walked out, even he himself was slightly taken aback by his reflection in the mirror.
The dark mage robe was tailored to fit him perfectly, exuding a sense of mystery and asceticism. Crucially, at Bai Na's insistence on the "plot requirements," the robe's neckline was low, revealing his well-defined collarbones and a small patch of taut pectoral muscles. Even more striking was the wide leather belt cinched at his waist, perfectly outlining his figure. Bai Na had also fitted him with a silver-gray wig, a few strands of hair hanging loosely over his forehead, which, combined with his already deep and cold eyes, truly gave him the appearance of a character from an anime/manga breaking free of their confines.
"Perfect!" Bai Na circled Qin Xiao twice, her eyes sparkling, almost jumping for joy. "President Qin, you're a god! Those abs, those pecs, that aura! The shirt-ripping effect is absolutely explosive!"
Qin Xiao's lips twitched, thinking to himself that this girl's focus was indeed quite peculiar. He wasn't used to such slightly revealing clothing, but seeing Bai Na's satisfied expression, he didn't say anything more.
The moment the two stepped into the main venue, they immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Bai Na had also dressed up carefully today, wearing a gothic Lolita-style tutu, paired with delicate makeup and pigtails, looking cute with a touch of mischievous charm. She was currently following closely beside Qin Xiao, clinging to him like a little bird.
Even in his cosplay outfit, Qin Xiao's innate powerful aura and upright posture made him stand out from the crowd. His subtly defined muscles, in particular, drew frequent glances from fellow enthusiasts, with some even whispering amongst themselves.
"Look at that mage, she has such a great figure!"
"Which anime character is he from? He seems so abstinent yet so well-endowed!"
"The little girl next to him is so cute, are they a couple?"
Bai Na blushed slightly upon hearing these comments, secretly glancing at Qin Xiao, but couldn't help but smile. She reached out and tentatively tugged at the sleeve of Qin Xiao's robe.
Qin Xiao paused, looked down at her, and then naturally took her small hand in his.
Bai Na's hands were small and slightly cool, but when they were grasped by his broad, warm hands, a surge of heat instantly spread from her fingertips throughout her body. Her cheeks flushed crimson, her heart pounded like a deer's, and though she lowered her head, a wide grin stretched from ear to ear.
"Mr. Qin... shall we go over there to collect stamps?" she said softly, her voice carrying a hint of sweetness.
"Okay." Qin Xiao responded and led her into the crowd.
He didn't actually dislike this kind of physical contact; on the contrary, he found Bai Na's hand in his palm soft and carrying a hint of girlish fragrance, which felt quite nice.
Just then, Qin Xiao's eyes narrowed and he abruptly stopped.
Not far away, a girl dressed in a very short skirt and dressed provocatively was squatting on the ground tidying her shoelaces. Her voluptuous figure and prominent curves attracted a lot of attention. Behind her, a man wearing a baseball cap and with shifty eyes was secretly reaching his phone under the girl's skirt, the screen clearly displaying a camera.
