Chapter 9 Comic Con
Early in the morning, Yan Yi prepared breakfast and went into the house to call Bai He to get up.
Bai He lay on the bed, her hair disheveled, and she covered her head with a pillow. "It's vacation time, Yi. When you're on vacation, you should sleep until you wake up naturally."
Yan Yi took her pillow away: "There's a comic convention today, let's go over there after dinner."
"I'm not interested. I don't follow anime." She turned over and wrapped herself in the blanket.
"Qi Lang made an appointment."
In the quilt, Bai He opened his eyes instantly.
Ten minutes later, she walked out of the room yawning. Yan Yi, wearing a floral apron, took the roasted sweet potatoes, eggs and milk out of the thermal container and brought them to the table.
He was wearing a slightly worn white T-shirt, and his tall and straight figure was tucked into a small floral apron, giving him a gentle, everyday homely feel.
Bai He squinted her eyes, feeling sleepy, but not yet fully awake: "With Ah Yi at home, I can't sleep in naturally even on vacation."
There seems to be a complaint.
Yan Yi smiled and said, "I got up to make breakfast for you, and you still blame me?"
"That's strange. I don't eat breakfast."
"If you don't eat breakfast, you'll get stomach problems."
"Let's talk about it later."
Despite saying this, Bai He was still used to having Yan Yi arrange her life.
Yan Yi brought the last fragrant baked spring pancake to the table, then sat down and ate breakfast attentively.
Bai He leaned her little head on his broad shoulders and closed her eyes: "Sleepy, sleepy, sleepy..."
Yan Yi peeled the sweet potato with his slender, bony fingertips, blew on it to warm it up, and brought it to Bai He's lips: "Open your mouth."
The little girl took a light bite and chewed with her eyes closed: "Hmm... hot."
Yan Yi continued to blow on it to heat it up, tasted the temperature himself, and then handed it to her to eat.
"water."
Yan Yi then handed the warm milk straw to her lips and let her take a sip.
She leaned lazily on his shoulder, ate with her eyes closed, and was about to fall asleep again.
Tang Xin, the mother, dazedly got up to drink some water. Seeing this, she couldn't help but laugh: "Yan Yi, you're spoiling your sister too much. You always pass food to her mouth. If you spoil her like this, what will you do if your sister leaves you in the future?"
She can't live without me.
Yan Yi said this in his heart.
"Auntie, would you like to have breakfast?" he asked sensibly.
"I don't go to bed until six. Sleep a little longer and you guys can eat."
"Um."
Tang Xin returned to the room, and Yan Yi lowered his eyes and looked at the little girl leaning in his arms.
Her eyelashes were thin and dense, covering her lower eyelid like a small fan, and her skin was as white and firm as rice cake.
She is indeed not the kind of beautiful woman who makes people turn their heads at first sight. She is a wild flower blooming in a remote and extremely cold place. She is rare, precious, little known and few seen.
After eating a few mouthfuls of breakfast, Bai He finally slowly regained the ability to take care of herself. While chewing spring pancakes, she told Yan Yi about the passionate love game between Qin Shen and the heroine in the love game "Heart-Stirring Morning Light". When she talked about Sese's story, she deliberately lowered her voice to avoid being heard by her parents, even though they were sleeping.
Yan Yi listened expressionlessly.
Most of the time, she was the one chattering like a little sparrow, and he was listening quietly, quickly acquiring and filtering useful information, and recording it in his mind like a brand.
Only when he heard her say that Qin Shen didn't have X ability did he look up and glance at her in astonishment: "Would there be girls who like... this?"
"This is so heartbreaking!" Bai He said with emotion.
Translation: "Without ability X, wouldn't Su Gan be greatly reduced?"
Because Bai He always plays this kind of game, Yan Yi also learned some technical terms, such as Su Gan.
"No, he's very strong, super rich, has a deep personality, and has been in love with the heroine for many years. He's the type of beautiful, strong and tragic guy. Very touching!"
"Where is it stuck?" he asked with great interest.
"It's just..." Bai He didn't know how to describe it to him, "It's that kind of... desire that is suppressed to the extreme."
Yan Yi probably understood it and digested the content on his own.
"I thought you liked your husband's forced love," he said.
She knew he was talking about the domineering CEO Liang Xiao: "Well... they each have their own charms. It's really hard to choose. It doesn't matter. It's a game, so I can play both."
"Actually, even without ability X, there are still many things you can do," Yan Yi said nonchalantly. "You can be more creative. As long as you master the core techniques, you might even be able to make girls feel better."
"Uh, okay, let's stop talking about this!" Bai He didn't want to discuss this kind of stuff that only boys like and are interested in with her brother early in the morning.
Girls are only interested in the emotional value brought by the sweet love in the game. This is probably the biggest difference between girls and boys.
It's well known that boys of this age have all sorts of things going on in their heads. The same goes for translation.
At around ten o'clock, Yan Yi and Bai He went out and went to the villa to find Qi Lang.
Qi Lang had already gone out and sent a location message of the comic exhibition to the small group [Liangshan Heroes Trio]——
7: "Come here."
Lily: "Just come over? We don't have makeup, so we can only be passers-by."
Qi Lang sent her the address of a role-playing clothing store and said, "Come here. I have hired a makeup team. You can choose any clothes you want and let them make them for you."
Lily: "It has to be Brother Lang. [Thumbs up]"
7: "[Grip]"
Yan Yi and Bai He took the bus together. The role-playing clothing store was located in the commercial street near the comic convention stadium, which was still half an hour's drive from their home.
After getting on the bus, Yan Yi pulled Bai He to the middle carriage. Seeing a single seat, he immediately pulled Bai He over to sit down, and stood in front of her, holding the railing with one hand and supporting the vertical pole with the other hand, like a protective shield, completely enclosing her in his "territory".
"There's a seat across the street!" Bai He hurriedly pushed Yan Yi, "Go sit there, it's quite far away."
"No." Yan Yi said, "I want to stand for a while."
The bus started slowly, and the only remaining seat on the opposite side was occupied by a fat uncle. Bai He had no choice but to say, "I'll sit for a while and then I'll let you go."
"Need not."
She didn't like the smell of people in the carriage, which made her feel nauseous, so she simply leaned on Yan Yi's body, pressed against his flat and firm belly, and breathed in the faint soapy scent on his body, only then did she feel more comfortable.
"Ayi, Qi Lang said he hired the makeup team. Should we pay him?"
"I wouldn't accept it even if I gave it to him."
Come to think of it, whenever Qi Lang organized a party, whether it was a script-killing event or a villa party, he never asked his friends to pay a penny.
"It's not good for us to always play with him closely. Next time, let's play with him alone."
Yan Yi really liked that she used "we" to refer to the two of them and "he" to Qi Lang, as if they were in the same group.
"Okay, when you get your pocket money, we'll invite him to play."
"What? I still have to wait for my pocket money."
"Don't even think about getting me for free."
"Tsk, you stingy guy." Bai He leaned against him and said with emotion, "The pocket money my parents give me is much less than what they give you. They love you the most."
Yan Yi smiled helplessly: "My money, every time you asked for it, I gave it to you, and you are still jealous."
"That's right, Hajime's pocket money is also mine."
At this point, the girl with long wavy hair who had been eavesdropping in the front row suddenly turned around and asked, "Are you a couple?"
Bai He was startled and quickly said, "No, this is my brother."
"Ah!" The girl's eyebrows lit up immediately and she said to Yan Yi, "Is that so? Then... can you add me on WeChat, handsome guy?"
Bai He instantly became excited and looked at Yan Yi.
The boy was almost 1.9 meters tall, with a slim and well-proportioned physique. He wore a black mask when he went out. The side of his nose bone supported a tall arc, leaving only a pair of dark and deep eyes, showing a somewhat aloof tone.
Even with a mask on, one can still feel that he is definitely a super handsome guy.
Yan Yi is indeed handsome, but not like Qi Lang who is domineering and as scorching as the sun. He is handsome in a reserved and quiet way, like the bright moss in a deserted place after the rain.
I never realized before, but this guy... is already at the age where girls ask for his WeChat on the street.
Facing this enthusiastic and cheerful girl, Yan Yi said bluntly: "Sorry, no."
The girl was slightly disappointed, but couldn't help asking, "Why?"
Obviously, she is confident in herself.
Yan Yi politely replied, "I have someone I like."
"Oh, all right then."
Big Wave｜The girl turned around and stopped disturbing him.
After getting off the car, Bai He chased after Yan Yi and asked, "You have someone you like? Who is it? Is she from our school? It must be Xiao Jing, right? Oh, I knew it! You and Xiao Jing are having an affair!"
Su Xiaojing is her best friend, and they grew up together. Yan Yi is quite familiar with her. Bai He doesn't have many friends, so he is only familiar with her.
Yan Yi stopped and Bai He almost bumped into him.
"I just lied to her. I just didn't want to add it."
"Huh?"
"She's not my type."
Bai He said exaggeratedly, "Such a beautiful girl, isn't your type? You really have very high standards! Then what type do you like?"
"I like..." Yan Yi paused and looked at her passionately, "I like introverted girls who will be quiet when there are strangers around."
"Oh, that's it. Xiao Jing is also a passionate and unrestrained social bull."
She didn't see anything in his eyes. Yan Yi calmed down, took her hand, and walked to the commercial street with her.
…
At the door of an animation store called "Speed Chasing Sound", Bai He saw her best friend Su Xiaojing from afar.
"Xiao Jing! Why are you in this store too?"
Su Xiaojing dressed up as the charming little fox Su Daji, with breasts and hips, graceful and sexy. Bai He drooled and pulled her around to look at her, "Let's stick to the beauty."
"Hehe." Su Xiaojing hugged her, "Qi Lang sent a message in the class group, saying that those who want makeup for the comic exhibition can come and get it done. I thought you would come too, and sure enough, we met."
"Did Qi Lang send a message in the group?"
"Yeah, it's fun when there are more people."
Bai He took out his phone and looked at the class group. Sure enough, he yelled in the group, and dozens of replies followed saying that they would come over to play.
She looked at Yan Yi, and a strange feeling filled her heart.
I thought... only the three of them were called.
But think about it, he hired the makeup team of the anime store, so how could he only do makeup for the three of them?
"Where's Qi Lang?"
"After he finished posing, many girls, both known and unknown, called him over to take photos."
"oh…"
This is too normal. Qi Lang likes to participate in such activities. You don’t need to ask to know that his appearance must be so handsome that it is envied by everyone. It is common for him to be pulled by girls to take pictures.
Su Xiaojing knew that Bai He was feeling a little uncomfortable, so she immediately changed the subject and said to Yan Yi, "Brother Yan Yi, what are you going to pretend to be?"
"I haven't decided yet, let's go shopping."
"Just browse around, they have a wide selection of clothes, all styles available."
Bai He pulled Su Xiaojing and said, "You are two years older than me, why are you calling me Brother Yan Yi? Do you have the nerve to do that?"
Su Xiaojing laughed and whispered to her, "Boys all like to be called brother by girls. So what if he's two years older? It doesn't matter. Your Yan Yi is so tall...he'll soon surpass Qi Lang."
Both of them were probably over 1.9 meters tall.
When Bai He heard this, she thought of her early years when she was little and Qi Lang always liked to pull her pigtails and force her to call him brother.
Her face turned red with shame and she would never scream.
On the one hand, she felt so embarrassed. Why should she call him brother when he was only a few days younger? On the other hand... she felt that if she called him brother, she could only be his younger sister.
Bai He doesn't want to be his sister, she doesn't want to be... just his sister.
She and Yan Yi strolled in front of rows of densely packed anime costume display racks. Yan Yi picked up a number of fancy clothes and gestured in front of Bai He, but she rejected them all.
She doesn't like anything that's too revealing or too gaudy...
Besides, I haven’t watched these anime, so it’s not fun to dress up as them.
She lowered her head and sent a message to Qi Lang, looking at his style: "Qi Lang, what are you cosplaying?"
Thinking of Su Xiaojing's words, her fingertips hesitated for a moment, and after "Qi Lang", she added a "brother".
A few seconds after sending it, Bai He felt embarrassed again and quickly withdrew it.
I hope he didn't see it.
The next second, Qi Lang replied to her——
7: "Liang Xiao."
7: "Why withdraw?"
Lily: "Nothing."
Bai He put down her phone and silently picked up a fresh and cute white uniform dress of the heroine of the game "Heart-Stirring Morning Light". She walked into the dressing room, changed in no time and came out. She lined up in front of the makeup mirror and waited for the styling team to help her with her makeup.
The girls in the front row seemed to be from other classes. Bai He didn't know them, but she had seen them before. Some of them were members of the school animation club.
These outspoken, enthusiastic and energetic girls are a beautiful sight walking on campus. Bai He can't help but look back when passing by them, and can see one or two familiar faces.
But they all seemed to recognize Qi Lang, and were chattering enthusiastically about it—
"Qi Lang cosplaying Liang Xiao, wow! He's so handsome! Just now, a bunch of girls took photos with him outside the comic convention. He's more popular than professional cosplayers!"
"Who is Liang Xiao?"
"Don't you play 'Heartbeat Morning Light'? It's a very popular dating game lately."
"In short, the reputation of Nanxiang No. 1 Middle School's school hunk is well-deserved."
"She's a big internet celebrity. She can easily get millions of followers on Tik Tok by just styling her looks and shooting some videos."
"Didn't he just break up recently? If you like him so much, go after him."
"Can I get him after he breaks up with me? His ex-girlfriend was the campus beauty of the No. 2 Middle School next door. She's said to be a cross-dressing blogger with hundreds of thousands of followers."
"Whatever, let's give it a try. It's not shameful to be rejected. What if?"
"Then I'll dress up as the heroine of 'Heartbeat Morning Light' so I can take couple photos with him."
"Hurry, hurry, change your clothes!"
When the girl who was talking passed by Bai He, her foxy eyes couldn't help but glance at her. The reason she noticed was because she was also cosplaying the heroine of "Heartbeat Morning Light"...
Bai He felt a burning sensation on his face and subconsciously avoided her gaze and turned his head away.
She went back to the dressing room, changed out of the clothes of the heroine of "Heart-Stirring Morning Light", and put on her own clothes.
After a while, the phone rang. It was Qi Lang calling.
She hesitated for a few seconds and answered the call.
"Are you here?" he asked straight to the point.
"Yeah, here I am, changing clothes."
"Come out, I'll be waiting for you at the entrance of the comic convention, let's take pictures together."
Bai He hesitated and whispered, "Aren't there so many girls lining up to take pictures with you?"
"Can you cut in line?"
From his relaxed voice, Bai He could hear that he was laughing.
She thought for a moment and whispered, "You take pictures with them first. After that, I'll take a few pictures with you. I haven't put on makeup yet."
"Hurry up."
Bai He went out again to choose clothes and met Yan Yi, but she hadn't made her choice yet.
"Haven't you changed?" He saw Bai He was still wearing his clothes.
"I suddenly don't want to dress like this anymore. Putting on makeup is too troublesome."
As he spoke, Bai He took down a soft black and white panda suit from the clothes rack: "I'll dress up as a giant panda!"
"It will be hot."
"It's okay, there must be air conditioning in the venue."
Bai He had already made up her mind. She took the panda suit and went back into the dressing room. She changed into clothes in no time and dressed up as a furry little panda. Fortunately, the suit did not cover her face, so her face was still exposed and she could breathe freely. But compared with the sexy and beautiful girls around her, she was really too dull.
I walked around the store but didn't see Yan Yi. I guessed he must have gone to change his clothes.
Bai He walked out of the store and saw Qi Lang standing at the door.
He was wearing a well-cut grey suit that looked as if it was tailor-made for him, which perfectly showcased his tall and slender figure, especially his shoulders, which were broad and straight, and his waist was narrow and strong.
He lowered his head and tapped the screen of his mobile phone, his facial features sharp.
"Qi Lang."
Hearing her voice, Qi Lang looked up, and a smile instantly spread across his face: "Where did this little national treasure come from that is so cute?"
Bai He was delighted and walked up to him: "You are so handsome."
He put one hand in his pocket and said, "Brother Qi Lang, are you ever not handsome?
When Bai He thought of the voice of "Brother Qi Lang" just now, his heart felt a little overloaded.
"By the way, why aren't you wearing makeup?" He pinched her pretty face and said, "I hired a makeup artist."
"There are so many people queuing up, I don't want to wait any longer."
"I told you you can cut in line. What's our relationship? Just go and tell me."
"Forget it, Brother Qi Lang."
She tentatively called out the name again, secretly observing his expression.
His ears were completely red.
Qi Lang didn't seem to react much, and rubbed her head: "I told you to call me brother a long time ago, why are you only saying it now?"
Bai He just smiled, feeling sweet in her heart.
"Where's the translation?"
"Still changing clothes."
As they were talking, Bai He and Qi Lang saw a man wearing a white protective suit and wrapping himself tightly walked out. When they got closer, they could see Yan Yi's handsome face clearly through the transparent plastic cover.
"Oh my god." Qi Lang grinned, "Yan Yi, are you cosplaying as a nucleic acid tester?"
"No, I'm cosplaying as a panda keeper." After saying that, he picked up Bai He like a red panda and placed her on his shoulders.
"Let's go to the comic convention."
Qi Lang: ...
Bai He: ...
