evil intentions
It's only been a short time since the start of the semester, and there aren't many classes or heavy workloads each week. These past few days, Bai Yixia has been going straight back to her dorm after class to work on cosplay sketches. She's already drawn several simple backgrounds, but since Qi Wang's cosplay costume and props haven't arrived yet, she hasn't told him yet.
On Thursday afternoon, Qi Wang sent her several pictures.
Bai Yixia glanced at it and saw that it was a cosplay outfit and props from Serigovie. Even from the photos, the quality was excellent; the fabric and craftsmanship were flawless.
Bai Yixia's eyes lit up. It's such a good fortune to have such a great cosplayer as my favorite!
So I quickly replied to his message.
- Kiss: Looks like the quality is really good.
Qi Wang: Yes, I ordered it a long time ago, and it only arrived today.
-Qi Wang: The props were also custom-made by a teacher.
Hearing him say that, Bai Yixia clicked on the larger image to take a closer look. She scrolled too hard and ended up scrolling to the edge. It was at this moment that Bai Yixia realized that Qi Wang didn't live at the school. However, considering that he seemed to be a veteran cosplayer, he probably had so many costumes and props that his dorm room was already overflowing.
Bai Yixia didn't really care where he lived, but she was somewhat tempted to move out. However, now that the dormitory relationship had improved, moving out wouldn't be particularly good except for the added hassle of having to get up even earlier.
After thinking about it, Bai Yixia deleted the housing inquiry in the chat box, but Qi Wang sent another message.
-Qi Wang: Is there anything wrong with the costumes and props?
-Qi Wang: I see you've been typing for a long time.
Why does this person, like her, like to wait for other people's replies? Bai Yixia was unusually speechless. Out of her love for the character, she carefully looked at the details again, and only after confirming that there were no problems did she reply: "There are no problems. I just looked at the details again, and the texture feels really amazing!"
But as soon as she said it, Bai Yixia belatedly realized that there was something wrong with it. She was just the photographer, and even if there were problems, it was not her place to find fault. This made it seem as if Qi Wang was a cosplay commissioned by her.
She typed a few words and was about to add something when she saw Qi Wang quickly reply with a Samoyed grinning emoji.
Qi Wang: That's great, it's good that you think it's okay.
- Kiss: It's nothing to worry about.
- *kiss* And if there are any flaws, I can fix them for you in post-production [powerful.jpg]
Qi Wang: That won't do. It has to be perfect, otherwise it would be embarrassing in front of the character fans.
Bai Yixia was stunned for a moment. She was certain that she and Qi Wang had only recently met through Bai Yi'an, and that only her roommate knew that she liked Sergov.
"Could it be that Xiaobai told him?" Bai Yixia muttered to herself.
Bai Yi'an, standing behind her, looked up blankly. "What? Who did I tell what?"
"Did you tell Qi Wang that I pushed Sergov?" Bai Yixia didn't hide anything and asked directly.
Bai Yi'an shook his head and pointed to her backpack keychain, "I didn't say anything. But Xiaxia, seeing this, it's hard not to guess that you're Xiao Sai's cook."
Bai Yixia's backpack was adorned with several Sergov badges and two or three small figurines; anyone familiar with these items would recognize them at a glance.
But Bai Yixia was a little confused, "Why is he staring at my bag for no reason?"
Bai Yi'an's expression was slightly blank for a moment, then she patted Bai Yixia's head and said, "It's okay, it's okay, go ahead and draw your picture."
Only after being reminded by her did Bai Yixia remember the background image she had drawn. She checked the time and realized it was only a little past three in the afternoon. They had a class in the evening, and the rest of the time was free, so she sent a message to Qi Wang.
- Kiss: What are your thoughts on the set design?
-Qi Wang: I can only think of the one with an official picture for now, I haven't thought of the others yet.
- Kiss: How many sets of pictures are you planning to release?
Bai Yixia looked down at the backgrounds she had drawn and thought to herself in a good mood: If he only plans to shoot one set, then I will produce these myself.
Bai Yixia's mother is a jewelry designer. Perhaps inheriting her mother's talent for painting, she has been good at painting since she was a child. However, she has never received any formal training. Nevertheless, she is good enough to cook for herself.
Bai Yixia thought her phone had been answered by Qi Wang, but when she looked over, she found it was Zhou Qingchi.
Her eyes immediately brightened several shades, and she reached for her phone as soon as she put down the tablet.
-Please have some porridge: [Image]
-Please have some porridge: The cafeteria chef seems to have awakened some strange and wonderful cooking talent [crying.jpg]
The picture was a colorful mess. Before Bai Yixia clicked on the larger image, she thought it was some kind of flower wall. But when she clicked on it, she realized it was dragon fruit stir-fried with broccoli. She was drinking water when she saw the photo and was so startled by the strange scene that she choked on a few mouthfuls.
Zhou Qingchi's video also came through at that moment.
Bai Yixia would often answer his videos immediately, but as soon as the call connected, she would start coughing uncontrollably before she could even utter a single word.
Zhou Qingchi, who had been smiling, immediately frowned upon hearing her cough. "Xia? What's wrong?"
Bai Yixia waved her hand awkwardly in front of the camera, and after a few seconds she stopped coughing. Her eyes were glistening with physiological tears, but she smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's nothing, I was just shocked by your cafeteria chef's genius idea."
Zhou Qingchi didn't laugh, but sighed softly, "I just wanted to show it to you and make you happy. If I had known it would scare you, I wouldn't have sent it."
"I'm not that fragile, Brother Zhou." Bai Yixia leaned closer to the camera. "I was just distracted while drinking water, it's not your fault."
After saying that, she couldn't help but smile, her eyes crinkling. "I was just about to call you, but you called first. We're practically telepathic."
Bai Yixia was always like this, always smiling, as if nothing could bother her. Zhou Qingchi stared at her smile for a moment, then said, "Yes, we're on the same wavelength."
"Today is already the 20th, and there are only ten days left until the holiday." Bai Yixia counted on her fingers. "Hmph, you'd better leave me enough time. After all, not only is there a 'Qingchi Special Day Trip' arranged for you by Teacher Xia, but you also promised to play jigsaw puzzles with me!"
Zhou Qingchi video-called her right on time. His roommate called him, seemingly to tell him to go to class. Bai Yixia saw Zhou Qingchi give his roommate a perfunctory "hmm" and then turn to look at her. "I know. When have I ever failed to keep my promise to you?"
The camera panned up slightly, and Bai Yixia guessed that he was probably standing up to pack his books. Sure enough, the final shot only showed half of Zhou Qingchi's chin and shirt collar. Whether he was naturally impervious to the heat or something else, he had actually buttoned up the top button in this weather.
Bai Yixia didn't hear what he was saying. Her gaze was fixed on the movement of his Adam's apple, which was bobbing up and down. Coupled with his unusually austere shirt, Bai Yixia blushed.
"Xia Xia?" Perhaps not hearing a reply, Zhou Qingchi called out to her in confusion.
"Huh?" Bai Yixia suddenly came to her senses, and without caring what Zhou Qingchi had said, she gestured to her neck, "Brother Qingchi, aren't you hot? Why don't you unbutton these buttons?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the person in the camera took a step back, revealing her entire upper body. Zhou Qingchi looked at her with a smile, reaching for her own button. "This?"
Bai Yixia nodded.
The next second, the screen went completely black, and a beeping sound came from the headphones.
Bai Yixia was stunned for two seconds before she realized that Zhou Qingchi had hung up the video call.
She looked at the message in disbelief and saw that Zhou Qingchi had sent her a message after hanging up the video call.
- Please have some porridge: I'm going to be late, I'll show you when I get back tonight.
Bai Yixia angrily punched the cushion on her lap, muttering to herself, "What is this? Is he trying to seduce me? That wicked Zhou Qingchi!!"
However, she knew Zhou Qingchi's schedule well and knew that he had far more classes than she did, so she didn't bother him anymore. Instead, she bombarded their chat with a bunch of angry emojis.
Qi Wang didn't reply to her until it was time to eat. Bai Yixia figured he was going to take about three sets of photos, so she drew two extra ones.
Bai Yixia didn't think much of it and sent her picture directly to Qi Wang to see if it was okay.
But then he seemed to disappear again, and didn't reply for a long time.
Bai Yixia waited for a long time, completely bewildered, and when she realized he really hadn't replied, she had no choice but to go to class first.
The evening class was about water conservation. Most students were doing their own things, occasionally glancing up at the teacher's well-worn PowerPoint presentation.
Bai Yixia always has a lot of creative ideas. Some time ago, she thought about drawing some short comics for fun, so she enrolled in a drawing class, intending to learn some professional skills.
I decided to use this class as an opportunity to slack off and study.
Class time always feels both short and long. Bai Yixia felt that the class was over in the time it took to bury herself in drawing something.
Bai Yi'an and Chen Wanyi had a club activity, so they rushed to pack their things as soon as get out of class ended. Seeing that Bai Yixia hadn't moved, they asked, "Xiaxia, aren't you leaving?"
This was the last class in this classroom, and Bai Yixia was too lazy to go to the designated study room to find a seat, so she waved her hand and said, "Anyway, there are no classes here, so I plan to stay here for a while."
"Okay, Xiaowan and I might be getting back a little late today. Did you bring your keys?" Ever since what happened with Lu Xi last time, Bai Yi'an has been more cautious and always asks for the keys before going out.
Bai Yixia found it amusing and waved her keys in front of her, saying, "Don't worry, don't worry~"
The class was on the fifth floor, and few people were willing to go all the way up to the fifth floor to find a classroom to study in. Bai Yixia waited for almost an hour but no one came.
After finishing her drawing, she stretched wearily, glanced at the time on the side of the podium, tilted her head and thought for a moment, then opened Zhou Qingchi's class schedule and took a look.
Great! It's already Zhou Qingchi's class time!
Bai Yixia happily put on her headphones and easily opened the chat to make a video call to him.
Zhou Qingchi answered the video call almost without giving her any time to wait. His eyes were full of smiles as he called out, "Xia Xia."
At the same time, the classroom door was hurriedly pushed open. Bai Yixia heard the same address as in her earphones.
"Xia!"
Bai Yixia was taken aback and turned her head to look blankly.
Qi Wang, who had disappeared for the entire afternoon and evening, burst through the door, panting, carrying a backpack in his arms, his hair disheveled from running.
Bai Yixia was so surprised by Qi Wang's sloppy appearance that she didn't see Zhou Qingchi's face darken suddenly when he heard that address in the camera.
