Chapter 97

"Ah... haha... no... no, I just randomly picked out a wig and colored contacts to dress up~"

"Besides, Wu Liang, you're making me shy by holding my hand like that."

Ye Luotong placed her other hand on Wu Liang's hand, her face full of shyness, and gestured for Wu Liang to let go of her.

It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over!!!

A deafening alarm blared deep within my mind like rolling thunder, and my heart pounded wildly inside my chest.

Seriously, how come Wu Liang can even tell who the character she's cosplaying is??

Although she did use a glittery makeup look, how could Wu Liang, who has never been exposed to ACG culture, possibly recognize it?

Could it be true, as Wu Liang said, that he is actually a hidden veteran ACG enthusiast?

"Ah, it was my oversight. It wasn't Mother Shanshan after all. It seems I was overthinking it."

"However, your makeup really does resemble it; it's very beautiful."

Wu Liang released Ye Tong's small hand and slowly stood up.

It's about time to leave. I've been here for a while now.

"Thanks..."

Ye Luotong looked at Wu Liang nervously, "You should leave quickly, you should leave quickly..."

Please, please don't stay here any longer. If you stay any longer, you might really kill me.

"Miss Jiu Hu, we've had a lot of fun, but it's about time we left."

Wu Liang looked at Jiu Hu beside him and extended his palm in a friendly manner.

"Huh? Ah... okay..."

Still not quite in a daze, Jiu Hu grasped Wu Liang's right hand, slightly stunned.

Wait, that's it? It's over already??

"By the way, I have a gift I'd like to give to Miss Tong."

After rummaging through his handbag, Wu Liang took out a finely crafted figurine and placed it on the table.

"Then I'll take my leave now, Teacher Ye."

Wu Liang simply waved to the two people in front of him and then quickly left the place.

All that remained was the Gilgamesh figurine, a symbol of the Hero King, on the desktop, and the two girls standing there, looking completely bewildered.

"Huh?"

Watching Wu Liang's departing figure, Ye Luotong felt as if something in her head had snapped off.

Chapter 37: A Pleasant Day (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets, 14/32)

Ye Luotong and Jiu Hu stared blankly at Wu Liang as he gradually disappeared into the crowd.

Then my gaze fell on the figurine on the table, which was shirtless, holding a weapon, and laughing maniacally.

The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere around them suddenly turned icy cold.

"Um... Hitomi... are you alright...?"

Jiu Hu twitched the corners of her mouth, looking at Ye Luotong, who was almost petrified, with an embarrassed expression.

Hmm... how should I put it... as expected, Hitomi was recognized quite early on...

After all, she was a student who had spent a full year with Xiaotong, so it wasn't particularly surprising that she recognized him.

Although Wu Liang's behavior of pretending not to know Xiao Tong after recognizing her was not quite right.

But Wu Liang did that because Xiao Tong initially wanted to deceive him.

However, Wu Liang's actions were truly ruthless. He gave Xiao Tong a glimmer of hope, and then shattered it completely.

This person is ruthless... utterly heartless!

"He recognized me..."

Ye Luotong stared blankly at the Gilgamesh on the table, her eyes vacant.

Gilgamesh, who was laughing arrogantly, seemed to be mirroring Wu Liang's sinister smile as he left.

She couldn't help but perfectly superimpose Wu Liang's grumpy face onto the face of this figurine.

That brat Wu Liang is probably laughing like crazy about this figurine in private, he definitely is...

"He recognized me from the very beginning... but I was foolish enough to think he didn't..."

"How could I have talked to him in such a cutesy, silly way, like someone with a brain disability?"

"So Wu Liang was deliberately making fun of me, and I didn't even realize it."

"Hehe... hehehehe..."

Ye Luotong covered her cheeks and laughed maniacally, muttering to herself.

She'd been tricked! That brat Wu Liang had actually made a fool of her like an idiot.

And she even went so far as to flirt with Wu Liang in a tone and manner so shameful it was enough to make someone die on the spot...

"Well, Hitomi, it's really nothing serious."

"Ahem, look, he's your student. He's just teasing you. He definitely won't gossip about it. Calm down."

Seeing Ye Luotong becoming increasingly deranged, Jiu Hu hurriedly patted her shoulder to comfort her.

With her empty, dim eyes and silly grin, Ye Luotong looked like a soulless corpse, utterly terrifying.

Jiu Hu suddenly shivered; this was the first time she had ever seen Ye Luotong so devastated.

Wu Liang... she's still your teacher, after all... even if you were going to hit her, you should at least have been a little more careful...

Using a "lower dimension" approach is unacceptable. What if Ye Luotong becomes mentally impaired due to the shock? Would you then have to take care of her for the rest of your life?

"Kill me! Kill me!! Someone kill me!!!"

"I'm too ashamed to live anymore, why did it have to be that damned bastard Wu Liang?!"

The last stubborn nerve in Ye Luotong's brain finally snapped.

Overwhelmed with shame, Ye Luotong wished she could disappear into the ground.

Like a tornado, a wave of shame and despair swept over her, utterly shattering her psychological defenses.

Oh no! They've broken down!! They've really broken down!!!

Wu Liang knows her two most important secrets. How is she ever going to face Wu Liang again?!

And especially considering the incredibly embarrassing thing she just did, wouldn't Wu Liang seize this opportunity to humiliate her to death?

"Calm down! Calm down!! Everyone around you is watching!"

Seeing Ye Luotong suddenly throwing a tantrum like a little girl, Jiu Hu hurriedly comforted her.

Well, Wu Liang has completely messed up Ye Luotong...

"Wu Liang!!!!"

Her pretty face, flushed with shyness, was also burning with intense anger.

Ye Luotong clenched her fists and roared desperately in the direction Wu Liang had disappeared...

"Young Master, are we leaving already? I haven't had enough fun yet."

Milutin, carrying paper bags of various sizes in both hands, spoke with lingering enthusiasm.

Although I had a lot of fun before, I still feel like I didn't get to enjoy it as much as I wanted.

I never imagined that she, a maid, would one day play maid games. To be honest, this feeling is a bit strange.

To be honest, the maid game with those kids was quite fun. I wish we could have played a little longer.

"Well, the sun has already set, it's about time to head back."

Wu Liang had a faint smile on his lips as he pointed to the sunset on the horizon, which had lost its luster.

A thin gray fog had already enveloped the horizon, and it wouldn't be long before it got dark.

They've played for quite a while today, and they're going to the shopping mall later to buy some gifts for Lei and Xiao Ai.

"Young Master, you seem to be in a very good mood."

"So you really enjoy anime conventions, huh? How about we hang out again sometime?"

Milutin looked at Wu Liang and chuckled, it was rare to see the young master so happy.

Wouldn't it be better if they could go out and have a great time next time?

"That depends on whether Yao Shi is willing or not."

Wu Liang glanced at Yao Shi beside him; he knew, of course, that Milutin was having a great time.

He himself had a good time, but he didn't know how Yao Shi viewed this trip.

After all, Yao Shi is different from Milutin. Yao Shi doesn't understand anime and manga culture and has difficulty comprehending things at anime conventions.

Those costumes worn by the cosplayers might just seem strange to Yao Shi, and if Yao Shi had any complaints...

"Although the rules and regulations there are not very perfect, and every now and then there is some low-class garbage that pollutes the young master's eyes."

"But you can tell that most people genuinely love comic conventions, so I don't dislike them."

Yao Shi spoke casually, not disliking comic conventions at all; in fact, she was quite interested in them.

In particular, she had experienced a strange sense of pleasure when working with those maids.

"Oh? I thought you definitely wouldn't like Yao Shi."

"I never expected that Yao Shi was also a hidden anime and manga enthusiast."

"So you really rejected all those girls? They really wanted your contact information."

Milutin moved closer to Yao Shi and asked her with a puzzled look.

Even though all those cute girls had asked Yao Shi for her contact information, Yao Shi still rejected them without hesitation.

"Didn't you also reject those people, Milutin?"

Yao Shi glanced at the various sizes of packaging bags in Milutin's hands.

Milutin's hobby is collecting dolls, or more accurately, figurines.

If I remember correctly, Milutin's bedroom was filled with several cabinets of these kinds of things.

"Me? Cough cough, um, I'm actually just like you, having the young master is enough for me~"

Milutin chuckled and pounced on Wu Liang's back, pressing his entire weight down on him.

"Hey, hey, hey... you're too heavy... get off me right now..."

Wu Liang shook his head helplessly when Milutin suddenly gave him a bear hug.

After feeling the moist and full texture on his back, Wu Liang smiled wryly.

"Huh? Where am I heavy? I'm definitely very light."

Milutin clung to Wu Liang, refusing to let go, a bright smile on her pretty face.

Today was probably the happiest day for her recently. Not only did she go to the comic convention, but she also bought so many things she liked.

However, the main reason was that she was very surprised to be able to come out with the young master and Yao Shi.

"Milutin, stop fooling around."

Yao Shi said with dissatisfaction, she had reminded Milutin countless times.

Why doesn't Milutin listen to anyone? Can't she have any self-awareness as a maid?

"Mind your own business! I won't. You try it if you dare!"

Milutin gave Yao Shi a provocative little finger.
