Chapter 10 A Dilemma
As soon as Qi Lang cosplayed Liang Xiao entered the exhibition hall, many people gathered around him, including professional photographers who were taking pictures of him crazily with long-focus cameras, thinking that he was a celebrity cosplayer invited by the organizers.
This young man has achieved impeccable top-notch performance in both appearance and looks. Even the official professional cosplayers on the stage seem slightly inferior to him.
When they found out that he was not a celebrity cosplayer who was paid for his appearance, the girls chased him even more crazily and lined up to take photos with him.
In such occasions where people can release their passion, Qi Lang rarely refuses others, because he dresses up just for taking photos, so he will satisfy many requests of the girls who take photos with him, even including some relatively intimate photo poses.
For example, he would lightly put his arm around her waist, or let her touch him. However, his hands were always in a gentlemanly fist.
From time to time, I would look back at the panda keeper duo.
Yan Yi is truly a dedicated caregiver. He never lets the "red panda" down from his arms. He either holds it in a princess hug, carries it on his back, or lets it sit on his shoulders, or carries it on his shoulders...
I have really unlocked a lot of "postures".
Bai He was held by Yan Yi and took photos with many young ladies, smiling very happily.
There was also a young lady who asked if they were a couple, thinking it was so sweet and asked if they could post it online.
Bai He was about to say no, but Yan Yi replied immediately, "Yes."
The young lady took many intimate "couple photos" for them, thanked them, and said that they were the best couple at the comic exhibition today.
After she left, Bai He jumped down from Yan Yi's arms and asked him, "Why did you say we were a couple?"
"So many people ask me this. If you explain to them one by one: 'We're not a couple, we're siblings,' they'll ask: 'Why don't siblings look alike?' Then you have to explain: 'Because we're not biological siblings.' Then they'll ask: 'Why should we call each other siblings if we're not biological siblings...'"
Bai He was actually convinced by him: "Yeah, it's just like the Russian clichés, it goes on and on. If you say you're a couple, you only need to answer with one word, and people won't ask any more questions."
"right."
"Okay!" She happily jumped onto Yan Yi's back again and let him carry her.
If someone asks again, Bai He will take the initiative to say: "We are a couple!"
Yan Yi turned around and looked at the girl's soft profile.
Nervous, naive and innocent.
In time, he would completely possess her body and her heart. Yan Yi felt that this was not difficult, but the difficult part was...
He glanced at Qi Lang, who was shining in the crowd.
He was really glowing, because the flash cameras kept clicking at him.
Suddenly, Qi Lang seemed to sense something and turned his head, and the two people's eyes met in a flash.
Yan Yi silently withdrew his gaze, but Qi Lang walked towards them, a little puzzled: "How did you two become a couple? I just heard people around us say that it's the sweetest couple."
"We are." Yan Yi said, "We just confirmed our relationship."
"What kind of orthopedics are you messing around with?" Qi Lang rubbed his nose and said dissatisfiedly, "I'll go back and tell Aunt Tang."
"No!!!" Bai He quickly jumped off his back and explained, "Because many people asked about it, it would be too troublesome to explain, so I just said we were a couple."
"So..." Qi Lang glanced at Yan Yi, who lowered his eyes and said nothing.
"Don't tell my parents that." Bai He hit Qi Lang's arm with her little fist.
Qi Lang pinched the little girl's furry bear ears and said, "Be more careful, silly girl. Don't let others take advantage of you and help you count money."
"Yan Yi can't do that."
A young lady came over, blushing and cautiously asked Qi Lang if she could take a photo with him, so Qi Lang went with them.
Yan Yi picked her up and wandered around the exhibition area, taking photos with the young men and women who came to visit. Bai He kept saying to him, "Put me down! You've been carrying me all day. Aren't you tired?"
"Why are you so tired? How much do you weigh?"
"That's not easy either."
Yan Yi looked around and found an empty double chair. He walked over and sat down, holding her in his arms: "Take a rest."
"Can you please let me go and let me sit by myself for a while?"
"Please have some basic cosplay spirit. I'm a childcare worker and I have to take care of you."
"Taking care of her doesn't mean holding her all the time." Bai He saw that he really treated her as a little panda and held her in his arms all the time.
It's just him. Bai He couldn't stand it if it was anyone else.
Yan Yi thought for a moment and explained, "I'm a panda lover. And you're a panda cub who lost your mother and is very dependent on me. That's why you cling to me all the time and can't be separated for even a minute."
"You...you even gave us two reasonable personalities, right?"
Yan Yi smiled lightly, a beautiful dimple appeared on her cheek, and she said confidently, "Yes."
Bai He looked closely at the dimples on the corners of his mouth. It was truly... a rare wonder of the world.
He seldom smiles, really seldom, and most of the time he has a serious face. When the two of them are together, they look like they are brainless and unhappy.
For the sake of this charming smile, she will let it go.
"Although what you said makes sense, I'm so hot! Stop hugging me and go get me some water. I want an iced Coke."
Yan Yi said, "I'm a conservationist. I can't let you out of my sight. Otherwise, if anything happens to the precious national treasure, the giant panda, I'll be in legal danger."
“…”
He is really dedicated. This is not his first time to cosplay at a comic convention. I have never seen him so dedicated to the role before.
"I'm really thirsty, Yanyi. Go buy some water." She pushed him.
Yan Yi had no choice but to go, but he walked backwards, pointing at her, his dark eyes fixed on her: "Little panda, don't run around."
Bai He chuckled: "No, I'm a panda cub who is very dependent on the keeper. I don't dare to run around."
Yan Yi also looked at her and smiled, then went to the vending machine to buy her some water.
As soon as he left, Qi Langbian took advantage of the opportunity and patted Bai He's left shoulder. When she turned around, he swiftly sat on her right side and asked, "Did you finally get rid of this follower?"
"Yan Yi is not a follower." Bai He felt the invasion of his breath and heat, and suddenly blushed a little.
She and Yan Yi were like little rabbits from the same litter with the same scent. They were used to each other and became very close.
But Qi Lang was an alien invader. Whenever he approached her like this, she would feel at a loss, her heart would beat faster, and her face would turn red.
"Why is your face so red?" Qi Lang asked her.
"It's so hot. I'm almost dying of heat wearing this." Bai He pulled the furry collar.
Qi Lang looked around and saw a princess girl wearing a kimono holding a small and exquisite tassel folding fan prop nearby.
Bai He followed his gaze and immediately understood what he wanted, so he quickly reached out to grab him.
Qi Lang took the lead and walked over. He chatted with Princess Ji for a few words with a smile on his face, and the folding fan was in his hand.
He walked back to Bai He, lifted her collar, and fanned her collar with a fan: "Is this okay?"
"Hmm..."
Bai He looked at the delicate dark green tassels on the fan and felt uncomfortable. In fact, she didn't want Qi Lang to casually ask girls to borrow the fan, even if it was for her.
But he is just this kind of flamboyant and unrestrained person. He can strike up a conversation with any stranger. He is handsome and there is no girl who doesn't like him.
Bai He sighed: "Hurry up and return it to the owner. It's his prop."
"She sent me."
"She gave it to you, so you just take it? Is it so casual?"
Qi Lang could hear the anger in the little girl's tone and was quite puzzled: "How can this be called casual?"
"Yes, accepting gifts from girls isn't casual, and hugging girls isn't casual either. So what does casual mean? Do you have to sleep in the same bed..."
She stopped herself from speaking in time and suppressed the slight sour feeling in her heart.
Qi Lang fanned her vigorously a few times, then fanned himself, then lazily stood up and walked over to return the fan to Princess Ji.
"No need, it's a gift for our President Liang." When Princess Ji smiled, there were sweet dimples at the corners of her mouth.
"A gentleman does not take away what others love." Qi Lang also smiled, "I understand."
"Are you coming to the Guochao Animation Festival next month? Add me on WeChat so we can schedule a photoshoot together."
Qi Lang added a lot of people on WeChat today, not just this one, so he handed over his phone's QR code: "I may not go, I'll see if my friend goes when the time comes."
"Your friend, is that the red panda..."
"Yeah, cute, right?"
"Very cute." Princess Ji looked towards Bai He curiously.
Bai He quickly lowered his head, covered his face with the panda hat, and subconsciously touched the scar on his neck. Even though he knew no one would see it, he still felt uncomfortable.
I really hate Qi Lang's flirting with other girls everywhere...
Qi Lang turned back and saw that her lips were dry, so he handed her half a bottle of water.
Bai He was very thirsty. Although he felt a little unhappy, he still took the bottle, unscrewed the cap and took a sip.
Yan Yi hasn't come back yet. I don't know where he went. He was probably dragged away by the young lady to take photos.
It’s so annoying. Sometimes she really wishes that the friends around her are... just ordinary people, ordinary middle school students like her.
It just so happened that the two people who grew up with her...were the two most handsome boys in Nanxiang No. 1 Middle School and shone for many years.
She was caught between them, not knowing what to do.
The only consolation is that Yan Yi's grades are comparable to hers, and apart from his looks, he has no other outstanding qualities.
This made Bai He feel that he was within reach, approachable and lovable.
If he becomes a super academic genius and male god like Qi Lang, Bai He will be really depressed.
She took another sip of mineral water, but unexpectedly, Yan Yi snatched the bottle away and threw it into the trash can, almost choking her.
His movements were very stiff. Qi Lang frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Feeding giant pandas indiscriminately is against the rules." Yan Yi unscrewed the cap of the Coke bottle with one hand and handed the can to Bai He.
"You really acted it out." Qi Lang said sarcastically.
Bai He gulped down a big gulp, "You've been gone for so long, the giant pandas are almost making you die of thirst."
"There's no Coke in the vending machine over there. I'll go buy it for you at the grocery store."
"I thought you were tripped by some young lady."
"I'm not someone."
Qi Lang saw him sitting next to Bai He, and the two of them were pressed tightly together again.
He was really unhappy with Yan Yi's behavior. The three of them had been playing together for so many years and everything was going well, but he had to do this to exclude him.
"Why are you pretending?"
Qi Lang took off Yan Yi's protective mask and threw it into the trash can, looking very arrogant from behind.
Yan Yi felt offended and wanted to step forward to argue, but Bai He held him back.
"It's too hot, Yi, let's go change our clothes. After that, we can go to the stalls and buy some things before going back."
"Okay." Yan Yi picked her up.
"Hey! No need to hug me anymore."
Yan Yi: "Before I changed my clothes, I was a panda keeper and I will stick to it until the end."
“…”
Too serious.
But, never mind.
No matter what he wants, Bai He always spoils him.
The two changed into refreshing summer clothes, Yan Yi wore a black T-shirt and Bai He wore a dress with a lace neck strap. They returned to the comic convention and in front of a game and animation booth, Bai He saw the figures of Liang Xiao and Qin Shen.
Liang Xiao was wearing a gray suit and a white shirt, exactly the same as Qi Lang who was not far away.
Coincidentally, Qin Shen's figurine is wearing a black T-shirt, which is quite similar to the one on Yan Yi. Not only are the shapes similar, but the expressions of the two are exactly the same. They always have a calm face and are deep and indifferent.
Bai He looked at the two figures in surprise and exclaimed, "They look so similar! Are they official versions?"
"Of course they're genuine." The boss, a young man with a crew cut, saw her interest and started to introduce them. "Our store is officially licensed. If you wanted to buy them online, you'd have to wait in line for three months. These two characters are super popular right now, but you don't have to wait in line here. You can get these two. Since you're a fan, I'll give you a discount. The original price is 300 yuan, but you can get them for 288 yuan."
"I want to buy it!!!" Bai He pulled Yan Yi hard, "Ayi, I want to buy it."
"Sister wants to buy it, but she has no money." Yan Yi said helplessly, "Is that right?"
She laughed and said, "You still understand me."
"I can lend it to you, but..." Yan Yi thought for a moment, "Only three hundred. Choose one of these two figures."
Bai He's hand fell on Liang Xiao for a while, and then touched Qin Shen.
Before yesterday, she would have chosen Liang Xiao, her top 1, without hesitation! But after playing those twenty S-level plot cards, Qin Shen also occupied an irreplaceable place in her heart.
Damn it, I can’t even choose!
She tugged at Yan Yi's sleeve and said pitifully, "Ayi, can I have them all?"
"No." Yan Yi leaned close to her ear and leaned over to look at the two figurines with her. "Bai He, you have to learn to choose."
Bai He felt that Yan Yi had become a thinker and philosopher again, and always said things to her that seemed to have profound meanings.
“It’s so hard to choose.”
"You have to choose, choose the one you like best."
Bai He's hands moved back and forth between the two figures. Just when he was struggling, he suddenly heard a commotion from the crowd in the distance. Many cosplayers and tourists ran towards the display area in the southeast corner.
"What's going on?"
"It seems like a fight has broken out over there!"
"There were two Liang Xiaos. One was a well-known cosplayer invited by the official team, and the other was an unofficial one, but he was incredibly popular. Lots of girls wanted to take pictures with the unofficial Liang Xiao. The official cosplayer couldn't stand being ignored, so he asked security to kick the unofficial Liang Xiao out. And that's when... a fight broke out!"
Bai He was furious when he heard this. He looked at Yan Yi and squeezed towards the crowd without caring whether it was a figurine or not.
Sure enough, I saw Qi Lang in front of the huge poster of "Heartbeat Morning Light".
A group of cosplayers surrounded him and beat him up. Qi Lang was considered a good fighter, but a few of the cosplayers were equipped with weapons. They hit him on the head with clubs, which stunned Qi Lang. He staggered forward a few steps and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Yan Yi threw his shoulder bag to Bai He, rushed forward without saying a word, and punched the man with the stick in the stomach, making him curl up and scream in pain.
Yan Yi's father is a firefighter. He learned fighting from his father for several years. He did not relax after his father left. He practiced every morning for ten years. Even if he fought ten of them at the same time, he would not be able to handle it.
Yan Yi reached out and pulled Qi Lang up, and asked softly, "Are you okay?"
Qi Lang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "Go take care of Lily, I have... this is just a small matter."
"Don't be so stubborn."
Yan Yi stood in front of Qi Lang, picked up an iron bench at his feet, and glared at the cosplayers around him.
"Touch him again, try it!"
