Chapter Nineteen: Comic Con (Part Two)
His friend didn't even glance at him.
Xia Yan looked down at the girl, his smile clear, a tender look that Lu Shi'an had never seen before in the nearly ten years that he had been by Lu Shi'an's side.
No way! Is Xia Ge really going to take this... uh, this... unremarkable-looking girl seriously?
They're completely unworthy!
I feel like my OCD is about to kick in; handsome guys should be paired with beautiful girls!
"Brother Xia, can you introduce me to your wife?" Lu Shi'an smiled brightly.
No matter what, they are all Brother Xia's people, and they deserve the respect they are due.
Xia Yan did not refute the way Lu Shi'an addressed her; in fact, upon hearing it, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.
Jiang You's eyes widened slightly upon hearing this address, and she felt goosebumps rise all over her body. She timidly wanted to raise her hand to explain, but Xia Yan was speaking, and she had no chance at all.
Xia Yan gave a brief introduction and then instructed Lu Shi'an to take good care of Jiang You.
Still worried, she turned to Jiang You and told her to relax and have fun, and to contact Lu Shi'an if anything happened.
They only left when it was too late, turning back every three steps, just like parents sending their children to kindergarten for the first time, reluctant to leave and worried.
Unable to see Xia Yan's back, Jiang You slowly withdrew his gaze.
"Wow, sister-in-law, you're something else! You've got Xia Ge completely under your thumb," Lu Shi'an casually put his elbow on her shoulder, his voice rising in a slightly arrogant tone, like a mischievous student sitting in the back row of a class.
Jiang You silently took a step back and awkwardly explained, "Um, I'm not Xia Yan's girlfriend."
After saying that, he let out a heavy sigh of relief; the explanation had finally been uttered.
Lu Shi'an looked at the girl, his chewing gum motion pausing. Uh, what's going on?
Did the two have a fight? Or did Xia Yan fail to win her over?
He raised an eyebrow slightly, not intending to get involved in the couple's affairs.
"Oh, so I'll call you Jiangyou?"
Jiang You looked at the ground and nodded, really not knowing how to liven up the atmosphere.
"Jiang You, is there anything you particularly like at the comic convention?"
Lu Shi'an had a black backpack on his back. As he spoke, he opened the backpack and took out a tablet, which he then pointed at Jiang You.
"I'm one of the investors in this comic convention, so I get special privileges!"
The boy raised an eyebrow at her and smiled brightly, showing off like a child with undisguised pride in his eyes.
Like the boy next door coming home from school, clean and down-to-earth, making Jiang You feel less helpless, but still very nervous, because the boy next door wasn't that handsome; it would be better if he were a little uglier.
Lu Shi'an zipped up his backpack, moved closer to her, opened the tablet, and handed it to her.
"All the guests are here; there's no need to queue, and you can meet them individually."
Jiang You took the tablet. Because Lu Shi'an was too tall, he had to bend down slightly to talk to her.
"Jiang You, this person is a famous cartoonist, she..."
The two were separated by only a fist's width between their faces, and their arms occasionally brushed against each other.
Lu Shi'an exuded a youthful, clear scent, mixed with masculine hormones, as if a boy were running towards her with the sea breeze.
The scent enveloped her intensely, and despite the perfectly normal distance, Jiang You felt her entire body stiffen.
Lu Shi'an had no other thoughts. Although he was disappointed by the girl's appearance, he could not neglect Xia Ge's people.
After introducing several guests, it was noticed that the girl was looking at the tablet with her ears slightly red and remained silent.
I scratched the back of my head. What's wrong? The lounge is air-conditioned, it's not hot.
"How about we go out for a walk and see if we find something we like?" Lu Shi'an straightened up and suggested.
Jiang You looked up and met her cold, clear eyes.
Seemingly not expecting her to look up, Lu Shi'an was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes lit up with a smile, concealing the cold indifference within.
Young Master Lu is a pure looks-obsessed person; there's no ugly person around him. He doesn't have much patience for girls who are average-looking. But Jiang You is different. She was chosen by Brother Xia, so he has to serve her well no matter what.
Jiang You knew that Lu Shi'an wasn't as enthusiastic as he seemed, but he didn't mind at all.
After all, this is the kind of emotion a normal person should have. They neither hate nor like it; they are just showing kindness to Xia Yan out of consideration for her.
She liked being told what to do and being led by the nose, so she nodded and agreed to Lu Shi'an's suggestion.
The outside was bustling with people.
Lu Shi'an wasn't as handsome as Xia Yan, but he was still very eye-catching.
Within five minutes of coming out, several girls and boys approached me asking for my WeChat.
Later, he simply put on a mask.
The east gate of the comic convention.
Song Wenxi accompanied her brother Song Yun into the venue.
"Brother, don't worry. Since we met near the anime mall, your wife must also like anime. We'll definitely run into her at this event."
Song Yun wrapped herself up tightly, wearing a loose black hoodie jacket on top and dark loose jeans on the bottom.
He wore a hoodie over his head, covering the upper half of his face, while the lower half was covered by a plain black mask.
Feeling the people coming and going around her, Song Yun trembled slightly, her hands and feet turning icy cold.
His androgynous, handsome face was filled with terror and unease.
I don't like crowded places, I don't like it here.
I long to find her, to run into her arms and seek comfort.
On the other side, Lu Shi'an took out two bottles of water from his backpack, opened one for Jiang You, and drank the other himself.
"Wow, that person is so beautiful," he said, drinking water. His eyes lit up when he saw Diao Chan in front of him, and he handed the water bottle to Jiang You. "Hold this for me, I'm going to collect some stamps."
After Jiang hurriedly grabbed the water, he stood there helplessly waiting for him; this was the third time this had happened.
A short while later, Lu Shi'an returned in high spirits, camera in hand.
Seeing that she looked tired, he led her to a corner where she could sit.
Immediately afterwards, the boy took out a laptop from his backpack and began uploading photos.
Her profile looks like it stepped out of a comic book, with a high nose, thin lips, and sharp lines. Her long, thick eyelashes droop slightly, giving off a pleasant vibe.
A black over-ear headphone hung around his neck, concealing his sexy Adam's apple. His fingers on the keyboard were slender and long, with rounded and clean nails and a light pinkish-white tinge at the knuckles.
It's so good-looking! Birds of a feather flock together, and handsome guys' friends are also handsome guys.
But this is not something she, the ugly duckling, can dream of. No, the ugly duckling is still a swan; she, on the other hand, is truly nothing.
Jiang You silently looked away, placed the bottled water on the table, and glanced at Lu Shi'an's black backpack.
Wow, it can hold so much! It has a tablet, a laptop, bottled water, and a huge camera. There seems to be more stuff inside.
I'm tempted, but the bag must be expensive, right?
As I looked away, I noticed someone not far away cosplaying Qin Che from Love and Space.
Although she's a fan of the star, I'm sorry, little star.
"Lu Shi'an, I'm going to take a picture with Qin Che, I'll be right back."
Lu Shi'an nodded. Diao Chan was already very beautiful and didn't need much retouching, so it was done in less than five minutes.
He sent the picture to Xiao Diaochan and casually picked up the bottled water on the table and took a few sips.
Five seconds later, he suddenly realized something was wrong. Wasn't he almost finished his water? How come there was still so much left?
