Chapter 364

He also wanted to know what kind of feelings he had for Miss Qing, whether it was love at first sight or not, and he could only confirm it when he saw her again.

Now he saw it; he was talking face-to-face with Miss Qing, and he seemed to have some clue about his own feelings.

If he wasn't mistaken, his feelings for Miss Qing weren't romantic love, but rather a longing, a yearning for an ideal.

He hoped to become a free and easy-going person like Miss Qing, and he regarded Miss Qing as someone he should follow.

"Classmate Nanzhu, I think I need to get straight to the point with you."

Yao Qing smiled faintly, then took off her black wig and put it on the sofa.

She took out a makeup remover wipe from her pocket, wiped off the light makeup on her face, and removed the false eyelashes that were stuck on her eyelashes.

That's about it. There's no need to Nan Zhu lead in women's clothing...

Chapter 97: Qijiu's Little Plan

Wu Liang and his group, gathered in a corner behind the scenes, sat on chairs and waited silently.

Because they registered almost at the last minute, their rankings were already among the lowest.

Wu Liang glanced up at the front desk every now and then, listening to the waves of applause, his brows furrowed.

It's not that he's afraid to perform in front of an audience, nor that he has stage fright.

Instead, the thought of having to awkwardly perform in front of He Xue and Han Yu made him feel a stomachache.

If it were all strangers, it wouldn't be so bad, since not many people know him. He could just sit there awkwardly, and it wouldn't affect him much anyway.

He hadn't mentioned this to Nan Zhu He Xue and the others beforehand, in order to avoid having acquaintances around him find out.

That's why she secretly contacted Ye Luotong to practice, and when Nan Zhu invited her before, she made up another reason to decline.

As a result, not only did they not avoid it, but they ended up running right into Nan Zhu and his group.

"You don't need to worry too much. That girl wouldn't have recognized you if she hadn't been observing you at such close range."

"The stage lighting is very strong, so it's hard for viewers who are too far away to see your face clearly. Don't worry."

Wearing a light purple dress with gold trim, the high slits on both sides of the skirt revealed her long, white legs, which were very eye-catching against the dark background.

Qijiu sat down next to Wu Liang and vigorously ruffled his hair. This kid actually got nervous about something like this.

This surprised him somewhat; he hadn't expected Wu Liang to care so much about his reputation.

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang breathed a sigh of relief; it was certainly best if he could avoid being recognized.

As Han Yu had mentioned before, their seats were located very far back from the stands.

As long as Han Yu doesn't tell He Xue the others the truth, they shouldn't be able to find out about her...

"I think that's unlikely. Miss Qijiu, didn't you notice those three huge electronic screens above the booth?"

"I noticed it as I walked in; those three huge electronic screens were big enough to clearly show the cosplayers on stage to all the audience members."

Milutin idly fiddled with the silver-red greatsword in his hand, then turned to look at Yao Shi, who was resting with her eyes closed behind her.

This girl seems a bit strange today. She hasn't said more than ten words since this morning.

Could it be that she's on her period and feeling unwell? If that's the case, that would be terrible.

"Milutin, take that weird look out of your head."

Yao Shi slowly opened her eyes, which were closed, and crimson lines flickered deep within her sapphire-like pupils.

Blue flames rose around the enormous black void, and scarlet threads slowly swirled around the pupil.

Yao Shi glanced at Milutin in front of her and could guess what he was thinking from his lewd gaze.

"Hey, people can't even stand looking at you, how can you be so domineering?"

Milutin leaned back in her chair, pouting and complaining.

But his gaze kept sweeping over Yao Shi, finally settling on her colored contact lenses.

Wow, those eyes are quite pretty. Thank you, I'm feeling sour again.

"Yao Shi, how are the preparations going?"

Ye Luotong asked Yao Shi with some concern if Wu Liang and Milutin were alright.

However, Yao Shi was clearly outmatched. Although she had memorized her lines perfectly, her performance was still too stiff.

She had watched Yao Shi's performance privately, and the other's movements were very precise; even gymnasts would probably find it difficult to perform so perfectly.

But when Yao Shi faced Arthur, played by Wu Liang, the other party seemed to become a completely different person and dared not move an inch.

Let alone going up to perform a fight scene with Wu Liang, Yao Shi's facial expression was very stiff, and her whole demeanor was very strange.

"The lines are fine now, but..."

Yao Shi took a deep breath and said with a hint of apology that she could not possibly lay a hand on the young master.

As the young master's personal maid, even though she knew it was all an act, a mere illusion, she couldn't bring herself to lay a hand on him.

The young master is the young master, and she should always serve him. She will never show any aggression towards him.

"We'll have to adapt to the situation; it'll all come down to your ability to manage it in a moment."

Ye Luotong rubbed her temples and sighed heavily. She had talked to Yao Shi about this countless times, but she still couldn't find a solution.

Even during yesterday's final rehearsal, it was the same, which gave her a real headache.

But since things have come to this, they have no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it. If all else fails, they'll have to give up Yao Shi's action scenes.

"Um..."

Qijiu silently watched Ye Luotong, who was talking to Yao Shi.

As if deep in thought, she crossed her beautiful legs, stroked her chin, and fell silent.

"Ah! Tongtong, come here for a second, I have something I want to talk to you about."

Suddenly, Qijiu had a flash of inspiration, clapped her hands, and hurriedly stood up to greet Ye Luotong.

Although this method is somewhat flawed, it might actually produce good results.

If Yao Shi really cares about Wu Liang as much as she thinks, then her plan will be 100% successful.

"What's up?"

Ye Luotong looked at Qijiu suspiciously. What bad idea had this old woman come up with this time?

"Listen to me, you need to do this on stage later..."

Qijiu's beautiful eyes narrowed into crescent moons as she smiled maliciously.

He pulled Ye Luotong to a corner away from Wu Liang and the others, and whispered something in her ear.

As long as her plan is implemented, Yao Shi will definitely be able to unleash her full potential.

"What?! Are you crazy?"

After hearing Qijiu's little scheme, Ye Luotong widened and she screamed with a blush on her face.

This is insane! This is absolutely insane!! What kind of madness is going on in Qijiu's head?!

"Are you kidding me! I'm his teacher!!!"

Ye Luotong grabbed Qijiu's collar, her pretty face flushed with embarrassment and anger as she spoke, she even felt that Qijiu was teasing her.

White steam rose in wisps from above her head, her panicked eyes unsure of where to look.

Just because of Qijiu's words... her mind went completely blank...

"Hehe, you've already slept with them anyway, so it's nothing."

"Besides, what I need is your teacher-student relationship; if you weren't his teacher, it wouldn't have the same effect."

Qijiu smiled knowingly. Heh heh, she loved this kind of thrill...

Chapter 98: An Unfavorable Performance

The cheers and screams in the venue were much less than before, but it was still noisy.

The audience members gathered together, chattering excitedly about their favorite characters.

As attention gradually shifted away from the stage, some audience members also experienced a degree of aesthetic fatigue.

Even if they are loyal fans of ACG culture, even if the characters on stage are diverse and varied.

But no matter what, it's just a stage show. Although they play different roles, the poses they strike are pretty much the same.

The more you watch, the more boring it becomes, which inevitably leads to a sense of boredom among viewers.

Han Yu, sitting in the back, was playing on her phone nonchalantly, completely ignoring what was happening on stage.

He Xue and Ning Shuang, who had been stopped by her and stayed behind, stared at Han Yu speechlessly, not quite understanding Han Yu thoughts.

It was Han Yu who kept them behind and said there were fun things to do, but they didn't even glance at the stage.

"Um, Xiao Yu, you don't like cosplay?"

After a moment of silence, He Xue slowly spoke, "What exactly is Xiao Yu thinking?"

Since Xiao Yu sat down, she has been playing on her phone and hasn't looked up at the stage at all.

Since Xiao Yu isn't interested in cosplay, why should she stay here?

"Han Yu, you should at least watch their performance and show them some respect..."

Ning Shuang covered her forehead and complained helplessly.

Since you're already here, shouldn't you at least watch their performance?

Besides, you already said there were some fun things to do, so can you please stop acting like it's none of your business?

"How could I possibly be interested in that bunch of scoundrels? Aren't you giving them too much credit, Miss Ning Shuang?"

Han Yu spoke calmly without even raising her head.

She's not staying here to watch those clowns in the stands.

The only person who could keep her here was Wu Liang, so she was happy to wait for him whenever he took the stage.

"Xiao Yu, what is the interesting thing you mentioned?"

He Xue tilted her head curiously. If Xiao Yu wasn't interested in these things, then why did she say those things before?

This is contradictory, and it doesn't seem like Xiao Yu's style.

"Just wait and see, I think it's about time."

"This competition is coming to an end soon, and I think it will be their turn soon."

Han Yu looked at the time displayed on her phone screen, turned it off, and then looked up at the front.

After seeing the cosplayer team leave the stage, a bright smile immediately appeared on her lips.

It's about time; Wu Liang and Teacher Ye's performance is about to begin.

Hmph, it wasn't for nothing that she waited here for so long. If it weren't for Wu Liang, she would have left this shabby place long ago.

"Them?"

Upon hearing this, He Xue and Ning Shuang exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion and doubt in each other's eyes.

Could it be that Xiao Yu knows someone at this exhibition? Otherwise, Xiao Yu wouldn't have waited until now.

"By the way, where did Nan Zhu go?"

Han Yu suddenly asked a question after realizing that she hadn't seen Nan Zhu for a long time.
