Believed Zheng Xiaoqi's Lies

Believed Zheng Xiaoqi's Lies

The odds of running into someone he knew in a place like this were slim, yet Lin Yuan had.

Xiao Ke's older sister was sweet-looking, dressed as a maid, with white stockings over her slender legs. She was incredibly eye-catching and drew plenty of lecherous onlookers.

Especially her rosy, round little face, which made her look even more adorable.

She was cosplaying a popular character from a hit anime, and her costume was remarkably faithful.

Well, except for the chest.

Xiao Ke was also cosplaying a character from a popular anime. Wearing a cute little dress, she already looked obedient and adorable as she curiously looked around the convention.

Many people who had just entered exclaimed over how cute she was and immediately gathered around to take pictures of her.

Lin Yuan had wanted to go over and say hello, but Zheng Xiaoqi said her makeup was smudged and she needed to touch it up in a designated area.

With no other choice, he could only leave first. There would be time to say hello later.

Once they came out, the entire convention was packed with people everywhere.

"I'll show you around." Zheng Xiaoqi grabbed Lin Yuan and started wandering aimlessly.

Along the way, some people carrying cameras wanted to take a few pictures.

At first, Lin Yuan refused.

Had he known he would have to pose for photos, he never would have agreed to come.

But under Zheng Xiaoqi's threatening glare, he could only stand there reluctantly and let them take pictures.

Gradually, he began to feel that something was off.

Why were these people all so focused on taking pictures of him?

"This is the most faithful cosplay I've ever seen!"

"As expected of a major convention. It's rare to see something this high-quality."

"Handsome, can I take a photo with you?"

Lin Yuan was overwhelmed and completely unaccustomed to it. He shot Zheng Xiaoqi a pleading look.

Zheng Xiaoqi watched from the side with a smile, showing absolutely no intention of helping him.

Left with no choice, Lin Yuan found an opportunity to slip away, leaving a group of stunned people behind.

What kind of cosplayer was this?!

"Handsome, can I take your picture?"

He hid somewhere Zheng Xiaoqi could not find him. Before he could even sigh in relief, a girl spotted him, her eyes lighting up as she came over to ask for a photo.

"No!" Lin Yuan refused righteously. Then he spotted Zheng Xiaoqi looking for him and quickly fled.

The girl was a little dumbfounded.

Everyone else begged for people to take their pictures. Why was this handsome guy different?

"Lin Yuan!" Zheng Xiaoqi's voice rang through more than half the convention.

She had found Lin Yuan and charged after him aggressively, carrying a plastic spear.

What else could Lin Yuan do? He could only run.

One chased while the other fled, drawing countless stares along the way.

"Look, White Sakura's cosplay is chasing Black Knight's cosplay!"

Some veteran anime fans shouted excitedly, finding the scene hilarious, and started recording it.

Lin Yuan had thought Zheng Xiaoqi would stop once she got tired, but after they ran around the convention twice, she was still full of vigor, with no intention of stopping.

Well, that settled it. Lin Yuan, who had only wanted to keep a low profile, had now attracted everyone's attention.

He watched anime too, but he had no interest in all the related merchandise and activities, such as conventions and cosplay. He had no idea what he was even doing.

This was a sight never before seen in the history of anime conventions.

Zheng Xiaoqi launched a sneak attack. Before Lin Yuan noticed, she suddenly rushed out from somewhere with several burly men she had found who knew where, blocking him in a corner.

"Heroine, let's talk this out!" With nowhere left to run, Lin Yuan hurriedly tried to negotiate.

"Damn it, it took so much effort to trick you here. How could I let you run so easily? Brothers, grab him! I want to put my foot on Black Knight!"

Zheng Xiaoqi planted her hands on her hips, and the several burly men beside her immediately moved.

Lin Yuan's sense of danger erupted. Just as he was about to be caught by the men, he slipped away like a loach. Combined with his outfit, his movements looked elegant and ethereal as he actually dodged them all.

Zheng Xiaoqi stared in amazement.

That was way too cool!

The surrounding spectators cheered loudly, calling it incredible.

The burly men seemed to feel humiliated and began taking it seriously. No matter what, they could not embarrass Zheng Xiaoqi.

But they were soon shocked.

One man reached out and grabbed Lin Yuan's arm, thinking he had caught him. Then his wrist was suddenly seized, and the pain forced him to let go at once.

Another man lost his temper and wrapped both arms tightly around Lin Yuan. Before his companions could come help, he felt as though he was hugging not a person but an elephant. Despite his strength, Lin Yuan broke free from him.

It looked like a fight, yet it did not feel like one. It was more like a martial arts demonstration.

Lin Yuan passively used the Grandmaster Combat Technique and dealt with the burly men with ease. He was not the only one shocked; everyone nearby was stunned.

The burly men got fired up and struck harder. Now it really did look like a fight.

One against many.

No one knew how many people Zheng Xiaoqi knew. With just a few words, she got another two people to join in.

Lin Yuan gradually became genuinely angry.

He knew there would be no end to this if it continued.

So, while dodging the outstretched embrace of one burly man and effortlessly blocking the attacks, he finally found an opening and took off running!

The burly men looked at one another. There were so many of them, yet they could not even catch one person!

How embarrassing!

"What are you standing around for? Chase him!" Zheng Xiaoqi seemed to be quite famous in this circle. The moment she spoke, the crowd scattered to search for Lin Yuan.

There were even people who loved a good spectacle and joined the search.

A convention that had only just begun had already taken a strange turn.

Someone recorded what had just happened and felt that uploading it to 13 Station would definitely make it popular!

A group of people searched for a long time but could not find a single trace of him, leaving them utterly baffled.

Some people who had only just entered did not know what had happened. After asking around, they too started helping search for the person cosplaying Black Knight.

One person cosplaying Black Knight had only just arrived when he was inexplicably caught by a crowd, only for them to discover it was a misunderstanding.

Yet not long after he left, he was surrounded again by several people, who called over even more people.

After being caught countless times, he developed a grudge against the hiding Lin Yuan.

Why was I always the one getting hurt?!

Meanwhile, Lin Yuan was hiding beneath a stall, trembling.

Fortunately, the stall owner was kindhearted and seemed to enjoy watching this interesting scene continue, so he did not reveal Lin Yuan's location.

Then a phone started ringing.

It was Zheng Xiaoqi calling. Lin Yuan chose to answer.

"Lin Yuan, where did you run off to? Come back quickly. I promise I won't let anyone catch you!"

"How can you prove you're telling the truth?" Lin Yuan questioned.

Zheng Xiaoqi said, "I guarantee it on my honor. Come out already."

Lin Yuan believed her nonsense. The moment he came out, he was surrounded by dozens of burly men. Even with the Grandmaster Combat Skill, he could not withstand such overwhelming numbers!

In the end, he was forced to strike poses while a group of people took pictures.

"This is too humiliating." Lin Yuan looked utterly dead inside.

Then he looked up and saw Xiao Ke's older sister and Xiao Ke among the watching crowd.

"It's Li, big brother!" Xiao Ke cried out, recognizing Lin Yuan at a glance.

Xiao Ke's older sister was also surprised. She had not expected to meet the big brother Xiao Ke knew here.

She smiled and nodded at Lin Yuan.

"I've humiliated myself beyond all measure." Lin Yuan fell into a dried-up silence, regretting his impulsiveness.
