Therefore, Xia Yan successfully joined the cosplay club.
After overhearing this, Kaguya gained a general understanding of cosplay.
She's very interested in cosplay and has favorite anime characters. Since Natsuhiko has already joined, Kaguya really wants to join too, hoping to collaborate with Natsuhiko and ideally form a couple.
Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Second New Member
In this way, Kaguya and Natsuhiko will have more time to spend together.
"Rem, I... I want to join too, is that okay?" Kaguya's face was a little red, and she looked like an innocent and ignorant girl, making it hard to refuse her request. But Rem was different.
Rem's casting is based on her looks and personality; if she doesn't meet the requirements, she's basically rejected.
"I'm sorry, Kaguya. It seems I don't have any suitable roles for you here. All the roles our club is working on are already prepared, and the remaining female characters don't really resemble you. I can't find any. So, let's forget about it. I'll definitely let you know next time if there's a suitable role, okay?"
Kaguya, upon hearing the mention of a female character, suddenly thought of Natsuhiko. She also recalled the moment they entered the maid café, when a whole bunch of maids rushed towards Natsuhiko, saying how handsome he was and how much they loved him.
While Xia Yan is indeed very handsome, this is still an overreaction.
Kaguya was terrified that the girls in the cosplay club Rem mentioned would suddenly attack Natsuhiko with bared teeth and claws upon seeing him—a scene she couldn't even imagine or bear to look at. It was truly terrifying; she had never seen girls who could eat people. However, after witnessing such a scene once at the coffee shop, Kaguya genuinely believed in the existence of girls like that.
Although people in the cosplay community are generally nice, Kaguya herself has never been in contact with them. There were rumors that the cosplay community is quite chaotic, such as selling one's body for a costume...
Therefore, Kaguya must go in now to prevent the people in the cosplay club from doing anything to Xia Yan, but Rem won't allow it, so Kaguya can only pester him relentlessly.
"Rem, please let me in. Don't worry, I can play any role, and I can do makeup. If you let me in, I'll be your club's makeup artist for free. Besides, after hearing your introduction to the cosplay club, I really want to go too. I want to check it out. Please let me in. I'll pay for the costumes and props myself. How about that?"
Rem couldn't stop Kaguya from going in after hearing her say that.
After all, Rem had been pestering Xia Yan relentlessly when she wanted him to join the cosplay club, and Xia Yan finally agreed. Now, Xia Yan's friend Kaguya is also pestering Rem, so logically Rem shouldn't refuse, which would be a way of settling things off with Xia Yan.
"Alright, I'm touched by your persistence. You can join our cosplay club then. But you don't need to pay for the costumes and props; I'll cover that. Anyway, I have a shop now, and I still have some income each month. It's not like you have to spend money on just one costume, right?"
Kaguya nodded.
"But Rem, what role am I playing? Oh, and what about Xia Yan? What is he playing?"
Although the two of them (okay, they've joined a Rem cosplay group), they don't even know what character they're supposed to be playing. They should at least know the character beforehand, understand their appearance, and perhaps memorize their classic lines and moves. This would increase the accuracy and realism of their portrayal.
"Well, I'll keep this a secret for now. You'll find out when the time comes." Although both Xia Yan and Kaguya felt a little disappointed...
Chapter Twenty-Eight: Dormitory.
But I'm still quite happy.
Xia Yan glanced at his watch and realized it was almost 8:20. It was getting late, and he couldn't go find Qianhua now. He decided to stay at a hotel for the night and then go back to his dorm the next day. After all, he hadn't been back to his dorm for quite a while, and he didn't know how his roommates were doing.
"Rem, it's getting late, Kaguya and I will be leaving now." Xia Yan and Rem said their farewells formally.
"Okay, by the way, Xia Yan, Kaguya, remember where the dressing room is at the anime convention for the next three days. I'll be waiting for you there, so be sure to come." Rem reminded them repeatedly before they left, afraid that they would forget about it.
"Don't worry, we'll definitely remember. See you in the dressing room at the comic convention in three days. I'm still curious about what character you gave me for 340. It's my first time going to a comic convention. You have to stay by my side the whole time and explain all the rules and regulations to me, otherwise you'll be the one who embarrasses me."
Afterwards, Xia Yan took a taxi to send Kaguya back, and then took a random bus to a hotel to rest for the night, planning to go back to the dormitory the next day to see his roommates whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
"It's been so long, I really do miss them a little." After saying that, Xia Yan took a shower. Then he lay down on the bed and slowly fell asleep.
After a long day, everyone is fast asleep in the dead of night. Any joy or sorrow from the day has vanished in their sleep. This quiet moment belongs only to the burning passion within their own hearts.
The next morning, Xia Yan took a taxi back to his dormitory.
He hadn't been back to his dorm for three months, and the dorm had really given him a big gift. The outside area was quite clean, and there were some large potted plants in the corridor.
As soon as Xia Yan opened the door, a pungent stench wafted out, making him choke. The sunflowers he had planted on the balcony had long since withered, their remains no longer visible; they had probably turned to ashes and drifted away.
"Hey, Xia Yan, you're back."
Xia Yan's roommate recognized him, but Xia Yan didn't actually recognize him. The moment Xia Yan opened the door, he thought he'd gone to the wrong place, that this was some kind of storage room or garbage dump. But this place was indeed his dormitory.
"My God, how do you guys live?"
"Qiang and I are just waiting for you to come back and get ready, hehe!" The roommate flashed a bright white smile at Xia Yan.
His roommate was completely different from when they first met; in just three months, Xia Yan had completely disappeared from their lives.
The three of them had all turned into burly men, completely unlike the seemingly proper young men they used to be when they first started school.
The person who had just recognized Xia Yan was sitting at the computer, playing a game. Potato chips and a sugary drink were on the table. The floor was littered with empty snack bags and other trash, which they hadn't cleaned up. And his dark circles were incredibly dark, darker than a panda's.
The other two were also very slovenly and lazy.
One was still lying in bed trying to sleep, and it was unclear how he managed to fall asleep, while the other was watching a live stream of a beautiful woman while simultaneously browsing QQ, Weibo, and WeChat, grinning foolishly and picking his toes.
Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Beautiful Misunderstanding
"Now that I'm back, let's just do a quick cleaning of the dorm. I really don't know how I'm supposed to live here like this. Once we're done cleaning, we can get some rest."
Looking at the three of them now, their clothes were scattered everywhere, and there were piles of trash on the ground.
If things continue like this, this place will look less like a dormitory and more like a garbage dump.
"Is this for real? How did you get back so quickly?"
The roommates struggled to sit up in bed.
Upon hearing that they needed to clean, they didn't feel that the environment was particularly bad.
Dormitories should be just like home, so why be so restrictive?
"No, did you already agree? Hurry up and come down to clean."
Although the roommates were still somewhat unwilling.
But having already made a promise, he absolutely could not break it, and he almost painfully crawled out of bed.
Ding Dong!
Xia Yan was about to organize his roommates to clean when he suddenly heard a message on his phone. He glanced at it and saw that it was from Rem.
"Where are you now?"
He simply wrote a single word, read it, and then put his phone aside without replying.
"Aren't you cleaning here? Looks like I've arrived just in time."
There was no reply to the message, so the group decided to do a thorough cleaning.
Unexpectedly, Rem appeared at the dormitory entrance, dressed in a maid outfit.
"What are you doing here? This is the boys' dormitory."
The roommates were quite curious about the woman dressed as a maid who suddenly appeared at the door.
She didn't really want to clean in the first place, but at this moment she put down what she was doing and started to observe the relationship between the two people.
"I heard you guys were cleaning here, so I came to help out. How could you guys be professionals? Get out of my way and let me do it."
Rem didn't seem to feel restricted in her behavior in the boys' dormitory; on the contrary, she acted as if she and Xia Yan were very close.
The roommates were a bit dumbfounded, but they were naturally overjoyed that someone was willing to help them clean.
At least I don't have to help myself anymore. Sure enough, having a woman makes all the difference. In no time, the dormitory was completely transformed.
0 ····Requesting flowers···· ·········
Even the floor was so shiny that the people standing at the door felt like they had just arrived at the dormitory.
People from other dormitories were also very curious about this scene and came over to watch.
"You guys are really getting more and more amazing. You only found one woman to help with cleaning. Miss, do you have time now? Would you like to help clean our dorm too?"
... .... 0
The guys here all want to attract the attention of the girls, so they know that.
Someone who specifically came to the boys' dormitory to clean their room must have had some ulterior motive.
"What are you looking at? Get out of here right now, haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman before?"
Some of his roommates couldn't stand it anymore. If word got out, it would directly prevent them from pursuing the pretty girls on campus.
"It's nothing, just a joke. Of course I can't go cleaning with you guys, because I have to..."
I paused intentionally at this point to give everyone some time to think.
The boys' faces immediately showed signs of understanding.
Chapter Thirty: My Roommate's Questioning
"I think this dorm room is almost cleaned up. Why don't you go back first? There are so many boys here watching over you, it's not good for you."
Xia Yan looked at the now completely renovated dormitory and was somewhat incredulous, especially with the increasing number of people gathering at the dormitory entrance.
Some people speak without any regard for others, and to prevent too many people from misunderstanding their relationship, it's best to send them away first. "340"
"Oh, I see. If you need any cleaning done in the future, just let me know. I'll be going back soon once I'm done with everything."
She looked very playful, leaned against Xia Yan, said a very intimate goodbye, and then left first.
Xia Yan was recently brought back to the dormitory by her roommates, each of whom looked at her with scrutiny.
I knew I'd have to explain this properly, and I was thinking about how to make it clear.
"What exactly is your relationship with this woman? If you can't explain it clearly, we'll be very angry."
Several people were already showing signs of anger towards those above.
"Things are really not what you think. We have nothing."
Xia Yan's anxious explanation was hoping to convince the people in the room in this way.
"You think it's nothing to do with us? I don't believe it. How did they know our dorm was going to be cleaned, and why did they come all the way here?"
One of the roommates immediately exposed the lie, especially after seeing the two of them.
However, many intimate behaviors are initiated by the woman.
"You three must believe me. Do you really think I'm that kind of person? Taking advantage of others for no reason?"
He sighed and rubbed his forehead, wondering why Rem had suddenly come here.
Even the old man downstairs didn't stop her, letting this woman in for nothing.
"If that's the case, then that's for the best. But with this woman, we don't have to clean the dorm anymore."
Having gotten the answer they wanted, his roommates stopped pressuring him, assuming he wouldn't lie.
