Chapter 333

After seeing Ye Luotong leave the office.

The other teachers also started gossiping.

The conversation immediately shifted to Ye Luotong's boyfriend.

Ye Luotong has been looking restless for the past few days.

This is a significant difference from her previous serious self.

Ye Luotong now exudes a more feminine charm.

She even occasionally reveals a silly smile, somewhat like a young girl in the throes of first love.

This change has left many single male teachers heartbroken.

After all, Ye Luotong was an untouchable goddess in their hearts.

However, their goddess suddenly became as reserved as an innocent young girl.

This made them wonder who had turned Ye Luotong into this.

What methods did the other party use to win over the goddess's heart?

They really wanted to have a proper and in-depth conversation with the other party.

For example, you could have a 1vN battle with a hammer and a shovel.

They assured the other party that they wouldn't make things difficult for them, and at most, they would just invite them on a seven-day trip to the hospital.

"Have you noticed that Teacher Ye has changed a lot recently?"

"She used to be very serious, but lately she has become much gentler."

A female teacher was carefully analyzing the situation, pushing up her glasses.

Everyone has witnessed Ye Luotong's transformation.

And the reason why Teacher Ye could be changed like this in such a short time can probably only be one thing.

"She definitely has a boyfriend. Women in love are very easy to change."

"And as everyone has noticed, Teacher Ye has been acting timidly lately, as if she's afraid someone will notice something's wrong with her."

"It's probably because she's shy about having a boyfriend and doesn't want us to know."

The other female teacher smiled maliciously.

I never expected Teacher Ye to be so adorable when it comes to romance.

She's completely like a little woman, which is quite amusing.

The reason I've been behaving so strangely lately is probably because I'm too shy to say it out loud.

Perhaps she was afraid that her group would ask her why. Wow, Teacher Ye is really funny.

"Damn it, who stole our goddess away? Waaaaah!"

"Don't worry, even if Teacher Ye doesn't have a boyfriend, you won't have a chance."

"Shrimp and pork heart, my brother."

The male teachers, meanwhile, were making fun of each other while letting out cries of pain.

However, their curiosity was relatively unified.

That is—who exactly is Teacher Ye's boyfriend?

.

"I've already made it clear that I will never do this again, why can't you understand?"

"I am now a teacher, and my responsibility is to educate and nurture students, not to participate in those boring activities."

Ye Luotong stood in the corner of the corridor with her brows furrowed.

A look of annoyance and helplessness appeared on her little face.

He put down his phone, leaned against the wall, and sighed heavily.

After a moment of silence, Ye Luotong peeked around.

After confirming that no one was around, he put the phone back to his ear.

"Qijiu, I can't go back to being a cosplayer, absolutely not."

Ye Luotong calmed herself down and spoke in a low voice.

She can no longer be a cosplayer as recklessly as before.

Ye Luotong's youth has long passed; she is now twenty-four years old.

She is no longer that 18-year-old girl whose mind was filled with ACG culture.

"I know, but I can't go because I'm injured."

"You should know very well what this major exhibition means for both of us."

"I wouldn't have invited you if I hadn't been injured, but now there's no other way."

Qijiu's faint voice came through the microphone.

The tone of voice was completely different from how the other person usually spoke.

Qijiu's voice sounded weak, like she was sick.

He was weak and a little hoarse; his throat sounded very uncomfortable.

"This was caused by your own carelessness, and it has nothing to do with me."

"And I've already said it before, I will never participate in those large-scale exhibitions again, absolutely not!"

"As an elite teacher in the Huihuangxing Academy, I would never do anything that would damage my reputation."

Ye Luotong took a deep breath and uttered these words as if she had made a great decision.

It felt incredibly heavy, as if I had poured out everything in my heart.

After she finished speaking, there was a moment of silence on the other end of the line.

"Will cosplay damage your reputation as a teacher?"

"You used to like it so much, and now you're just throwing it away like that?"

"Wasn't that you, the woman who told me she would never give up cosplay and would love cosplay forever?"

There was a hint of mockery in Qijiu's weak voice.

It was as if it were a mockery of Ye Luotong's heart, which was always on the verge of wavering.

Qijiu let out a laugh, but it was immediately followed by a cough coming from the microphone.

"You're alright... Hmph... Trying to provoke me won't work, especially since this big exhibition requires at least three people to participate."

"Even if I could stand in for you, I don't think anyone else in your circle is qualified to participate in the exhibition."

"Give up, Qijiu. This time, you should just focus on recovering from your injuries."

"That's all for now, I have class, I'm hanging up."

Ye Luotong ignored Qijiu's sarcastic remarks and hung up the phone directly.

Anyway, it wasn't the first or second time that Qijiu had lectured her about the old agreement.

Whenever she and Qijiu argue, the other party brings up the agreement she made with Qijiu in the past.

Ye Luotong took a deep breath and looked up at the ceiling.

A vow to "never give up cosplay for the rest of my life".

That was just youthful ignorance...

Chapter 53: International Exhibition

"I'm so angry!"

Qijiu slammed the phone onto the pillow beside her.

Wearing only a loose shirt, Qijiu, her face slightly flushed and eyes still sleepy, hugged a pillow in her arms.

Ye Luotong, that brat, still has the same impulsive temper as always.

Can't you just talk to people normally? Why do you have to argue?

(Although I was the one who mocked her first, it was still Ye Luotong's fault for having a bad attitude.)

"Cough cough cough, if I hadn't caught a cold... cough cough cough... why would I have let her go..."

Qijiu rubbed her throat, which was sore from coughing too much.

He lay down on the bed in a starfish position and closed his eyes helplessly.

Her bare shoulders were barely concealed by a shirt, which couldn't hide her soft, full breasts.

Qijiu bit her fingertip and fell into deep thought.

This grand exhibition is of extraordinary significance to both her and Ye Luotong.

This is different from previous promotional events and anime conventions held out of personal interest.

This is a large-scale exhibition with a competition format, and famous cosplayers from all over the world will be coming.

Moreover, the theme of this exhibition is one that Ye Luotong has been looking forward to for a long time.

If we were to miss this opportunity, it would be an absolute loss, an irreparable loss.

"I also hope to use this big exhibition to make my team a hit and go viral."

Wearing only underwear on her lower body, Qijiu kicked her little feet in a sullen manner.

She casually grabbed a blanket and covered her round, plump thighs.

Qijiu reached out and pinched her brow, feeling a slight headache.

She originally wanted to take this opportunity to create her own cosplayer team.

However, she doesn't have enough people around her; to be precise, she doesn't have enough cosplayers who can stand shoulder to shoulder with her.

She can ask some professional friends to help her with things like photographers and makeup artists.

But she really couldn't find many people who could compare to those world-class cosplayers.

However, this time the comic convention requires participation in teams of at least three people.

"Ugh, this is so annoying. Do I really have to give up this opportunity?"

Qijiu buried her head in the pillow and murmured unwillingly.

This was an opportunity that she and Ye Luotong had been looking forward to for a long time.

It would be too much to just watch an opportunity slip through your fingers.

"Even if we could pester Tongtong relentlessly to get her to participate."

"But we also need two more people to join us, and they can't be ordinary cosplayers; they have to be the elite of the elite."

Qijiu rolled over and lay on her side, looking out the window at the scenery.

Given her current condition, she definitely won't be able to participate in this International Exhibition.

In other words, even if Tongtong is willing to participate, she will still need to find two more cosplayers.

Moreover, the two cosplayers cannot be too weak in skill.

Even if they can't reach the level of top-tier cosplayers like themselves and Tongtong.

But at the very least, only top-tier cosplayers have a chance to be among the best at the convention.

"Ugh... this is so annoying... where am I supposed to find those top-notch cosplayers...?"

"Besides, even top-tier cosplayers would definitely participate in the event in their own teams, why would they come to my team..."
